RT @AwardsDaily: Chances of getting into D'Adele diminishing by the minute.
RT @catherinebray: I don't know whether Alexander Payne has actually said Nebraska is inspired by Quixote or not - anyone?
RT @indiewendy: Thanks to Alexander Payne, I'm now craving a Mountain Dew. I think Orangina is the closest I can get #cannes2013

“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”
~ Harlan Ellison Takes In Star Trek: Into Darkness
“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
~ Sarah Polley’s Greatest Wish About Stories We Tell

Poland, would love to get your thoughts on the MTV Movies Blog, its incessant Twilight coverage and its editor Josh H…
Who fucking wants to check this shit out? Really? Someone step up if you are down with these sort of things, because this is just pointless. What insight does this give into a film that has a story we have seen countless times? What do you get from this SYNERGY bullshit? Like the girls who watch MTV are going to give two bags of monkey piss for Avatar. So this is just goofy fucking shit, that serves no purpose, but exist to try to sell a film that’s hard to sell. YIPPIE!
I find it really ironic that the film that is supposed to be the future of how people will go to the cinema is being promoted on cell phones.
