i love sorrentino but saw a picture of sean penn in costume that makes it pretty difficult to gauge

your LiveJournal experience (schlump), Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:22 (fourteen years ago)

most interested in Malick, Dardennes, Ramsay

your generation appalls me (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:23 (fourteen years ago)

A few well-duh players (Trier, Sorrentino, Ramsay, Dardennes, Malick etc.) but the Refn and Miike make for a nice injection of genre fare. A couple of first features, too.

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:23 (fourteen years ago)

woah @ miike, did not see that coming

if u see l ron this weekend be sure & tell him THETAN THETAN THETAN (Edward III), Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:24 (fourteen years ago)

I'm hoping this means he's back on a roll lately; hearing good things about 13 Assassins.

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:25 (fourteen years ago)

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 15:04 (fourteen years ago)

Frances McDormand co-stars with Harry Dean Stanton, Bono's daughter Eve Hewson, and David Bryne, who scores the film along with original songs by Will Oldham.

The Tree of Life struck me as such a shoo-in that I had it typed in already, and just waited for confirmation to hit "submit post."

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Sunday, 22 May 2011 17:59 (fourteen years ago)

Actress: Kirsten Dunst, Melancholia press conference.

jed_, Sunday, 22 May 2011 18:01 (fourteen years ago)

ha

Yeah she was an easy guess too.

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Sunday, 22 May 2011 18:04 (fourteen years ago)

Is "Tree of Life" that movie w/ Brad Pitt with the absurdly generic trailer that I kept seeing?

Soleil Goon Frye (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 22 May 2011 18:06 (fourteen years ago)

yes

Simon H. Shit (Simon H.), Sunday, 22 May 2011 18:08 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, "generic" is the last thing i would call the trailer for Tree of Life

Number None, Sunday, 22 May 2011 18:34 (fourteen years ago)

Who accepted for Tree? (or does Cannes not work that way)

ryan, Sunday, 22 May 2011 18:38 (fourteen years ago)

according to deadline: "The reclusive director did not attend the ceremony, and the award was picked up by producers Bill Pohlad and Dede Gardner. "

ban drake (the rapper) (max), Sunday, 22 May 2011 18:39 (fourteen years ago)

way more excited about the Ceylan film

love you like a frat kid loves Cake (Tape Store), Sunday, 22 May 2011 18:44 (fourteen years ago)

according to deadline: "The reclusive director did not attend the ceremony, and the award was picked up by producers Bill Pohlad and Dede Gardner. "

there was a long guardian article this morning about WILL THE RECLUSIVE MALICK SHOW HIS FACE?, peddling general quirky-reclusive-artist tropes, & ignoring that he was at one of the screenings a few days ago.

if opinions about ofwgkta could fly this place would be the wtc (history mayne), Sunday, 22 May 2011 18:52 (fourteen years ago)

The Guardian put up "Have You Seen This Man?" posters with Malick on them around Cannes appealing for any information on his whereabouts. Kind of a dick move.
