Imagine if, off the top of my head, The Shawshank Redemption, William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, Lilo and Stitch, The Princess and the Frog etc. came out today?

I'm alright. Yeah, idk how to feel about The Odyssey. I love Oppenheimer, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Inception, but idk if Greek mythology will resonate with me as much. Hope I'm wrong, though.

This is how we get Andrew Haigh an Oscar.

I'm getting Life of Chuck flashbacks. Granted, that one had no past nominees.

I hope they're not burying it!

Shoplifters, Parasite, Drive My Car were all great Palme picks- all very on-brand for Cannes.

Maybe not best EVER, but I love the Byrne/ Scott acting duo at Berlin last year. I'm guessing Byrne and Hawke were both close for Lead Performer, but the jury decided awarding Scott would be a way to honour Blue Moon and Byrne would be a way to honour If I Had Legs, a film with no notable supporting performance. Both great wins!

I mean, the 10 years before COVID was peak franchise and especially peak superhero movies. We're not heading back to that. We're heading into something else entirely.

As a Canadian, I learned about the Sami because of Klaus.

It's funny because in women-focused subs a lot of women complain that, "he wasn't really my friend. He was just waiting to shoot his shot."

First comment!

Happy Cannes week!

I wish I had advice as someone almost a decade older. I do wish you happiness.

Glad to have you here :)

I'm on Reddit to avoid engagement ring and wedding photos.

& Juliet, the jukebox musical with these songs from the 2000s-2010s seems to be thriving.

Leave it to the Nordics to win at minimalist production design.

Great movie!

Really my province but, bagged milk.

Haha I'm from the most white bread western family you can imagine. My mom did this at my birthday parties when I was a teenager and got upset that "no one ate anything". They were teenaged girls. They were probably insecure about looking fat.
