What this means, of course, is that all the other critics (and the Ö÷²¥´óÐã camera crew) should watch out: Mark is soon to become infected. And we all know that once Cannes Craziness (or some other alliterative disease) is in your blood, you're already dead.

This video looked like the producers were playing with photobooth on their mac though.
Are they bored out there in Cannes?

I'm wondering which part would be the most infuriating: currently torn between the oppressive crowding and thinly veiled pretension. But there must be SOME aspect of the proceedings that makes it bearable (musn't there? Or do you just adopt the brace position and manically recite the 'tears in the rain' speech from Bladerunner, as I do in a tight spot?)
