RT @cobblehillis: Fave part of talking w/ Kristen Stewart for ON THE ROAD: when chivalrous @jamesrocchi offered his coat to her cuz she "looked cold." #Cannes
RT @cobblehillis: I don't envy anyone who has to review COSMOPOLIS after one sitting. Ego, history, nature, tech, the value of value... so much to unpack.
RT @cobblehillis: Sitting for COSMOPOLIS, hoping HOLY MOTORS' Denis Levant is riding shotgun in R-Patz' white limo. Or maybe he is; the meme is #SuperCannes.
RT @filmnickjames: Real storm clouds are gathering again, but i'm betting a lot of critics will say, "it wasn't so weak after all". But it was #Cannes2012
RT @filmnickjames: Robert Pattinson in COSMOPOLIS looks like James Dean playing James Bond #Cannes2012

Quote Unquotesee all »
“Whether by mistake or wholly intentionally, this is a transcendentally awful piece of filmmaking, likely to find favour only amongst the Showgirls crowd and other connoisseurs of tat. Individual scenes rattle the brain like a Yahtzee shaker, not least of all a comic aside in which Kidman’s character saves Efron’s from the effects of a jellyfish sting. Spotting Efron lying on the beach on the edge of consciousness, Kidman strolls over, squats over his swollen face, adjusts her bathing suit, and liberally administers the antidote.”
~ Robbie Collin Flings Further Love To The Paperboy
“People respond strongly to my work, one way or another. I care about critics in the sense that if you have a good review, it’s nice to hear about it, and if you have a bad review, it’s quite nice not to hear about it. When I am making a movie, I try to put all of that out of my mind and think just about the world I am creating. When people criticize my work, they often seem to say either that my worldview is too specific or, “Who needs your world?” Those are not criticisms that resonate with me, because what fictional world do you actually need? To write a screenplay and not make the movie, or to make a movie from a screenplay I didn’t write, both seem odd to me; it’s hard for me to divorce the creation and direction processes. For that reason, I have never given up on a script. When I settle in on something, I just work on it until I kind of get it—though that can take a while. But as long as I have an idea in mind, I will pursue it. It just seems to flow: If I made the thing up in the first place, then that is a reason for me to direct it. I have been asked why I don’t make a big-budget movie or what’s considered a Hollywood movie. I don’t feel particularly compelled to do that sort of thing. The more economical you can be, the more fun you are going to have. I find it all slows down when it gets really big. The process can be so much more light on its feet and inspiring when you are nimble.”
