A roundup as we do. It's so hard to keep up during Cannes! 

The #Cannes2017 press badge comes with amusing button that roughly translates, "I did not understand it, but the film was really good." pic.twitter.com/4eB9ZcppKm

More tweets after the jump including Cannes mania, White House exorcisms, Netflix divisiveness, and beautiful actresses of course. They're kind of a staple here, okay?...

This is literally the best piece of media criticism I have ever seen. pic.twitter.com/lcLi0ugDKM

I have a #podcast about actresses and have started writing for The Film Experience. Am I a member of Gay Film Twitter™ yet? @cinementalist?

I really liked Alien:Covenant. Fascinating almost in spite of the xenomorph. Should've been called Alien:Fassbender, though.

Some of my colleagues smack-talking ALIEN COVENANT right now will be pitching thinkpieces someday about how "underrated" it is.

THAT NETFLIX CANNES BROUHAHA

 

OKJA starts, huge boos at Netflix logo. Then film plays in wrong aspect ratio and Grand Lumiere almost rioted. movie stopped. #Cannes2017

— david ehrlich (@davidehrlich) May 19, 2017

OKJA: like ET on crack. wild & wildly uneven, but always soulful. A+ cast, 1 legendary chase, everything you want AT the movies #Cannes2017

— david ehrlich (@davidehrlich) May 19, 2017

 

The idea that Netflix=progressive and the French cultural exception =reactionary is almost exactly backwards.

It's almost as if there was some other reason besides emails that people didn't like Hillary, but I can't quite put my vagina on it.
