Cannes is in total disrepair. Business is flat and most of the films screening here are irrelevant in the us marketplace. Both sides ,marche and festival, need to realize they are codependent and figure out a solution and quick. Keeping the streamers out is self-defeating

I haven't seen ROCKETMAN yet but can we please refrain from using terms like "breakout performance" for Egerton, whose spy franchise has grossed over $825 million? Isn't KINGSMAN a serious job for actors? Or does having a franchise disqualify people from being serious actors?

When you get one of those reviews that say your characters are unlikable, what's really mind-blowing about it is, you start to look around you and realize everyone you've ever met is unlikable.

Tim Conway and I grew up in the same little town in northeast Ohio, Chagrin Falls. As a kid, I looked up to him as a local who had “made it.” He gave me hope. I regret I never got to meet him and thank him. https://t.co/Vas78tZnRV

My target audience doesn't care about Cannes, Sundance, etc, nor do they necessarily want to spend $ and time going to the movies when rent is due and they've spent all week dodging draining micro aggressions.
