The House That Jack Built - Official Tailer

It must be very gory, ultra violent, as almost everyone walked-out at Cannes yesterday and only a few stuck around to applaud Lars Thers ... to which one observer noted, "they'll applaud anybody these days."

Blowing off women's and children's heads with a rifle.

Pulling duck legs out of their sockets with plyers.

I'll probably pass on this one.

Oops! Wrong thread.

frick yeah, movie looks awesome. Can't wait.

I'll watch the censored version when it comes out of Freeform.

Ah, yes: "The Matt Dillon weekend on Freeform, kicking off with There's Something About Marry followed by Drugstor Cowboy. Later, watch Crash for 5 minutes and then watch literally anything else before flipping back over for the cable television premiere of that movie your rich friend claimed she walked out of while summering in France but you're 90% sure she's full of shite"

Wont lie, I'll probably watch it.

I can't watch kids and women's heads being blown off and torturing animals, hard pass.

Trailer seems to be American Psycho, this one is destined to be a cult classic.

Also elephant in the room.

When did Dafoe start body surfing?

Let's be clear about this. The Grand Lumière, the centerpiece venue at Cannes, seats nearly 2500 people -- 100 walkouts constitutes the fraction, and people exit all screenings at Cannes for a number of reasons, not least because queuing for something else is a middling form of protest. Second, these headlines were an inevitability that serious critics have been lamenting for weeks. The dailies were primed to grab the most volatile reactions from the attention-seeking black hole of film twitter. The festival president himself courted it when he suggested its exclusion from competition was because he did not want the jury to have to sit through it, which was something of a publicity ruse benefitting both the festival - in a soft year for major auteurs or stars - and the film's producers. Shocker, it happened! As, of course, it also did in 2009 for Von Trier's Antichrist, a film that supposedly had people puking in the aisles during its premiere. Furthermore, Spike Lee reportedly had a ten minute standing ovation for Black Klansman, now considered a front runner for the Palme, and, what is at most a footnote in these articles, Von Trier received a comparable one. People boo and cheer every film and triply so for Von Trier, whose new film is reportedly to be his most self-critical (again, where are these headlines?), and nothing new is under the sun.
