May 25 2006The French Hate Marie Antoinette
After a press screening at Cannes on Wednesday, the hotly anticipated Marie Antoinette by Sofia Coppola was received with heavy booing and some light applause. It seems that the follow-up to Lost in Translation might not be the critical darling it was hoped to be. Or that the French are so jealous of our armies, spreading of freedom, and NASCAR racers, they're taking it out on our films. Low blow, Frenchies. Low blow.

Am I the only one who thought Lost in Translation was bad beyond description?

Good lord, who thought that giving her an American accent would possiblely make the French not like her? It's not like they'd cut her head off or something....
