CANNES: Blog Day Five & Six -- Yachts, Donnie Yen, and Cannes' First Bomb
On Days Five and Six of their Gallic journey in the South of France, Jen, Senh and Tim venture onto their first yacht, witness the first huge disappointment of the festival ("Southland Tales"), and hobnob with Bruce Willis, Bai Ling, Rachael Leigh Cook, Donnie Yen, and more!
They're back home now, but the festival still rages on and RT's Cannes crew will be recapping the last days of their first visit to the Cannes Film Festival...and yes, that is Senh with Jury President Wong Kar-Wai. He wears his sunglasses at night.
On Day Five, "Southland Tales" goes out with a whimper, Jen lunches with the "Shortbus" cast, and the Tomatoes board the Budweiser Big Eagle yacht for the "Southland" party before hopping over to not one, but two more parties for "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Over the Hedge!"
Bai Ling, Bruno, and Donnie Yen
On Day Six, Tim and Jen head to see the uncanny "X-Men: The Last Stand," Senh plays paparazzi with the "Platoon" cast, and Jen sits down with Rachael Leigh Cook before the crew heads to -- what else? -- another party!

on May 25 2006 10:16 PM Thats to bad that Southland Tales sucks, I was looking forward to it, it has some actors that I really like in it. (Reply to this) |
on May 26 2006 07:44 AM In reply to this comment (#836705) You have a thing for The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Seann William Scott? I mean, I understand the value of using actors who are typecast in diverse roles. It can bring unknown talents to life. But that's a batch of actors should have never worked together. I'll still see it though... (Reply to this) |

on May 26 2006 12:00 PM In reply to this comment (#836706) I usually do like Seann William Scott, and the other two are ok. But I mostly meant Tim Blake Nelson, Kevin Smith, and most of all Jason Lee. (Reply to this) |

on May 26 2006 02:18 PM In reply to this comment (#836706) At the risk of being crucified on this board, i'm going to come out and say that i belive The Rock has the potential to become a huge talent in the film industry. He's got the looks, he can do physical humor, and he's really funny. I actually thought that "Southland Tales" would be a huge turning point in his career because it seemed like a dark comedy, something i think he would be perfect in. Hopefully a director might actually cast him one day for his acting abilities rather then his physique(Gridiron Gang looks like it might be decent). (Reply to this) |
on May 27 2006 09:41 AM id like to see it, i guess. but i just read in the washington post that when it comes out in theaters, its gonna be cut 90 minutes, so a lot is going to be missing. i think it was originally 2 hours and 43 minutes (Reply to this) |
on May 27 2006 12:02 PM An edit will definitely be a good thing for "Southland Tales." My review from Cannes will be up this weekend, and there were a lot of things in it that I really liked...so hopefully Kelly can keep all those good things and make it more cohesive and comprehensible...

on May 27 2006 12:05 PM In reply to this comment (#836708) Keira, I'm sorry to say Jason Lee and TBN aren't in Southland, it was an early incorrect cast list we had up! But you still might like the movie, there's a lot of good and not so good... (Reply to this) |
