cinematic blasphemy

the cannes film festival kicks off tomorrow night with robin hood being shown hors competition.

now, normally ultra artsy movies are shown in cannes. which in any case none of us gives a toss anyway because it's not like you actually get to watch them. my cannes film festival routine has always been kampung girl exhibits jakun-ness to the extreme.

mad crazy. the paparazzi instincts just comes out.

tradition 1 :

always buy loads of magazines yang include free t-shirts. they cost 2€ and have these cun Cannes Film Festival t-shirts we will then recycle as gifts. or baju tido. Most notably t-shirt Sonia Rykiel "Madame est une star" yang beb benci.

tradition 2 :

skulk around on the croisette and depan hotel ape ntah to take pictures of anyone who looks famous. balik rumah baru kaji sape orang tu.

tradition 3 :

camp out in front of the palais de festival and show no mercy to potted plants if hayden cristensen passes by.

i once had eva longoria pass next to me barefoot in bathrobe on the croisette(she is tiny. like 2 inches taller than me). and dapat salam a bald natalie portman. and that incident where amik gamba hayden cristensen pastu balik rumah baru kenal.

but this year macam hambar je film selection. there's a woody allen movie on saturday but something about his movies just rubs me the wrong way. i know, in france, woody allen is like, god. he is king of stiff, upper class movies you have to decipher and read between the lines to understand.

my favourite movie is pride and prejudice. clearly my tastes are way too low class :)

i never used to understand the hype with quentin tarantino (blur tgk pulp fiction) until i watched inglourious basterds and LOVED it. kene tengok movie bile dah besar....nanti tak paham pastu buat assumptions.

maybe match point just needs a second viewing?

*sigh* woody allen movies are a bit like susan lewis novels. obsession, flawed morality, overrated sexuality, some type of incest and women with daddy issues.

yep, that's me missing the whole brilliant cinematic style irony.
