Today, right now actually, I will attempt to join Craig Kennedy in line for the Coen brothers Inside Llewyn Davis which will have its first screening here in Cannes two hours from now. It’s raining here so that means two hours standing in line in the rain. I hope they appreciate that people out there are willing to do that just to try to get a seat in a crowded screening. With a blue badge you are only allowed entry after the pinks and the whites have gone in and other mysterious lines of people none of us fully understand. Market screenings? Students? VIPs? Both The Bling Ring and Llewyn Davis are screening in the littler theater, the Debussy. Did I mention it’s raining?
Wish me luck.

Little rivers and flash floods on the streets. Philippine monsoon. Apocalypse Now. At around 1:30 or 1:45 pm it stopped raining and it started pouring, you see. It didn’t come down in sheets, but almost that. Right now there 20,000 people in this town with damp socks.”)
