National Post Headline from liberal Hollywood/France: “Family-themed movies clean up at Cannes as Thai film wins Palme d’Or”.
“I didn’t realize Cannes this year was showing family films,” said film director and Cannes chief jurist Tim Burton, referring to the winners. Well darn the luck.
Possibly Burton was hoping for more of the usual phalanx of anti-Bush, anti-American, pro-Obama, big happy government, left-wing agitprop, and depraved, crude, pretty-much-porn-themed “films”. As it was, there were plenty.
At left: Actor Sean Penn, looking pissed-off in this PerezHilton.com photo/story, possibly after hearing about all the family films, and having skipped the opening of Cannes this year despite his own anti-Bush “film” being screened at Cannes (not a winner!), because, says his publicist in the PerezHilton.com report, he wanted to stay home to work on the Haiti relief file. His publicist apparently had little to say about him being spotted partying with “a blond model” at a wild South Beach disco.
Meanwhile, after an arrest warrant was issued for actress Lindsay Lohan — while she was in Cannes — she was ordered to stay in L.A., and to wear an ankle bracelet. And possibly underpants.
And that’s the news from Cannes.
