More appreciation for stephen for realiseing that this is your blog and know one elses but gets no screen time himself, shame on you Dr K.

Any sign of the Apichatpong Weerasethakul film yet?
The films 'Poetry', 'Of Gods and Men' have got excellent reviews on Time Out, which they believe are in the running for the Palme d'Or.

Or that perhaps it was a special camera powered by the shrieking, suffering pain of people that have your Mick Jagger impersonation inflicted on them. Writhing on the floor in fits, screaming and clawing at their ears...
Another mystery solved!

No he looks like chewbacky from Bladerunner or whatever that TV series was called. No I know he looks like one of those Village People guys after they retired. No he's a fat Kris Kristofersoon in A Star Is Born. Can Kermit wear a curly wig so we can see if they work as a lookylikey double act? They could team up with those Briaian's Got Talent stripper / doubles. No I've got it now, its the guy from A Matter of Life and Death, the one who crashes his moterbike. That's who he looks like. Or a Norwegian trawlerman. Hs accent was quite 'scandy' come to think of it.

I like the sound of Blue Valentine and Udaan - anything that can be described as "reminded me a little bit of Stand By Me" has gotta be good!
Just how many documentaries can be made on the Rolling Stones (yawn!)

Nice that the underappreciated tech guy get's to catch some screenings at the fest, some small compensation for keeping soundlevels from spiking during Dr. K's impressions.... they can't be paying him that much....
