Ahh yes, that famous beautiful siren, Anthony Hopkins. I too, was very confused over how much I was attracted to him in that movie.

And also Diane Nguyen!

Bardem twice! He was dragged into the disaster than was Penn's vanity project The Gunman last year, along with Mark Rylance, Idris Elba, and Ray Winstone! Theron I'm convinced just had a 10 month break from sanity altogether.
I'm hoping this will be the nail in the coffin for Penn getting his stuff funded, but he's a…

I had high hopes for The Neon Demon. Actually I had high hopes for a lot of movies screening at Cannes that have turned out to be terrible.

Another clutch of fantastic actors dragged into Penn's shit.

Jeers seem to be given out for reasons other than the film being bad too. Kristen Stewart's 'controversial' win of a best supporting actress César last year and Olivier Assayas being a polerizing figure in French film and Cannes in general were thought to be part of the reason The Personal Shopper was so booed.

Cannes is now the film equivalent of the British houses of parliament.

I've been wondering which direction the pendulum would swing for The Last Face.
A movie about white aid worker romance in civil war torn South Africa could have gone two very different ways!
Would it have the sane and self-aware stamp of Robin Wright (who had toyed with getting this made with Ryan Gosling before her and…

But are their genitals made of GOLD though??

Russia did have pretty great staging. I thought Bulgaria was pretty cool too.

- I watched the Eurovision with a bunch of friends. It was a drinks, pizza, and pillows all over the floor situation. It felt very tonally different this year, which was probably because it seemed like the entrants were taking everything a bit more seriously than previous years. So even though we did get a girl who…

Who was your favorite to win?

I was waiting on the naked wolves guy too. The J-Pop on crack meets Evanescence girl didn't disappoint though.

That is an amazing combination of things. It can't not be brilliantly bad!

Is this real?! I need this to be real.

Woah, that is a raw deal. Is that even legal? You must live in the US….

That makes sense. If they're putting your movie in their schedule and potentially turning down other projects, securing pay sounds like good business practice. Like if I call out a professional carpet cleaner and they turn up to my house and I'm not there, I'm probably still getting billed for the job because that's a…

When a studio hires a star for a movie, it's pretty much a flat rate, right? So if you've got a script for a character that's only in your movie for a couple of pages and you want to fill that role with a star name, you have to pay that star the same fee no matter what, as I understand it, correct me if I'm wrong. So…

You can't judge the tastefulness of clothing based on what Prince or Bowie could pull off. Us mortals actually have to put some thought into what we can or can't pull off!
