I thought to stick with the RBF sufferers. That one who's featured in the new woody... it was always going to be a collision of irresistible force with immovable object, when RBF hit the red carpet. Oh the sunshine smiles then, chasing off the RBF pout for a day!!<br /><br />Final score: Paparazzi 27,198, RBF, 0. It is this deep blankness which is the real thing strange.<br /><br />Woody of course is still the adorable romantic fool and all that, as he so helpfully and repeatedly explains in every one of these bought interview situations... The Hollywood Reporter hired his only biological child to report on the festival, and published the report synchronous with the lovable glowing woody premiere. The son wrote that woody is a child abuser reigning over a gang of obedient journalistic ballwashers. The "press" was then regaled briefly with the woody's royal presence and warned in advance not to ask questions about THAT subject. The bogus bilge world of The Movies needs an eminent and honourable senior figure so badly it has created one out of... THIS guy?<br /><br />And the forever inconvenient Polanski, who unlike woody may once have actually made an interesting film... meanwhile totally non grata. <br /><br />But you've got to hand it to those world leaders. The Anti-Corruption conference, quite a shindig, featuring the Nigerian President and David Cameron, he of the notorious offshore portfolio. Seems there was a bit of a flap when a microphone was left on... and captured "private" remarks in which Cameron declares that the two most corrupt places in the world are Afghanistan... and Nigeria.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-80650477920476452992016-05-13T22:28:50.675-07:002016-05-13T22:28:50.675-07:00Woody's Twilight Saga, that's what.Woody's Twilight Saga, that's what. vazambam (Vassilis Zambaras)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14515165428574974933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-84161862148286930092016-05-13T09:21:55.190-07:002016-05-13T09:21:55.190-07:00Great photos Tom, who can say what's going on ...Great photos Tom, who can say what's going on at Cannes -- in light of everything else that's going on elsewhere . . .STEPHEN RATCLIFFEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339481653546188412noreply@blogger.com
