IF ONLY
Other tweets after the jumpvincluding little bits of Meryl Streep, jokes about Titanic and Infinity War and Cannes battles and general Cannes mania (it all ends today)...
I'd like a reality show where 50 actors get one shot to nail Meryl Streep's delivery of "Why is no one ready?" from The Devil Wears Prada. Most episodes end with the host turning to camera and saying, "Fifty failures. We'll try again next week."

Allow for the possibility that the best of you is still inside you, waiting to emerge.
Prepare the way, bit by bit

CANNES MANIA
2009: "Lars von Trier, the bad boy of cinema, is back!"
— Jesse Hawken (@jessehawken) May 14, 2018
2011: "Lars von Trier, the bad boy of cinema, is back!"
2013: "Lars von Trier, the bad boy of cinema, is back!"
2018: "Lars von Trier, the bad boy of cinema, is back!"
THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT: humorous take on the serial killer & his tropes, with stunning cinematography & Matt Dillon at the top of his game. Also y’all who said this was unbearable to watch are wimps lmao #Cannes71

The pearl clutching reactions to a new Lars von Trier film are always hilarious to me. Did you expect a romantic comedy?

Gaspar Noé is here for the Lars von Trier premiere, in case you weren’t expecting the apocalypse to happen so soon.

Based on the critical reaction, CAPERNAUM is the Yanny/Laurel of the festival. #Cannes2018

With DIAMANTINO winning the Critics' Week and BORDER the Un Certain Regard prize, it looks like the more daring works that juries can't normally agree on as winners are being rewarded for their audacity. I hope this trends continues! #Cannes2018

Cannes has reminded me how much mainstream American films skimp on kissing. When was the last time you saw even a minute-long makeout in a studio film? Kissing is hot and we are dropping the ball here

Does the winner of the Palme Dog have to be in a movie at Cannes, or is just being at Cannes enough? pic.twitter.com/f4zPiTWXJS

Last night at Cannes was spent at the Queer Palm awards, which felt fitting, given what a queer festival it was this year. I saw so much stuff here that made me ache for American cinema to just fucking catch up already

Matt Dillon is winning Best Actor #RandomThought
The House That Jack Built is out of competition.
That description over the rivalry between Lars and Gaspar is actually dead-on. In fact, Gaspar liked Lars' new film and spent much of it laughing.
