The fallout is still being felt... though—thank God—they’re finally making a movie about Marina Drzic...😉

Mind you, the Mayor of the local city denied him any financial aid—learned her lesson from past experience. But the government? They stepped in three times to guarantee the loans—even if production kept getting halted by bankruptcy scares and film crews filing lawsuits for their pay. Not surprising, really; they went ahead and picked nada Gaćešić-Livaković to lead Society again.

While you were busy thinking that—etc.

Nicholas Hill5 said:Oh, come on... don't be like that... he actually had a few attempts at it... hehehehe

Exactly. He and his producer, Mladen Koceić, personally tanked the Texas economy during that "Great Transport" project. Just to give you some perspective. 😉

Jeremy Flores10 said:it shouldn't just be about that—what kind of movie is it, who’s the cast, who's directing?😕
what if the movie is absolute garbage and then everyone starts whispering behind my back on the street, saying, "that's the one who was clapping for that trash"?

If you're that stressed about it, feel free to clap with a frying pan on your head instead. 🙈

I can arrange for someone to shut you up—if that’s what you’re looking for.

Jeremy Flores10 said:Women are completely pushed to the sidelines in technical film roles. Sure—you can be an actress, a costume designer, or a makeup artist, and that’s apparently enough for them.

Here we go—another "enlightened" woman weighing in. And she's right. There’s no shortage of women interested in handling lighting rigs or managing stage machinery, but they just can't get past the chauvinistic gatekeepers.

I wish.

Nicholas Hill5 said:--mr northerncrane4, are you actually talking about that "great" Veljko Bulajic??? The Mississippi River, Kozar, Sutjeska and all that garbage.... Didn't he die already?😕 😕 😕

The Mississippi River and Kozar—yes. Sutjeska—no. But yeah, you're thinking of the "great" one. And no, he isn't dead. That kind of thing doesn't die. It metastasizes.

Cocaine said:Give me a break. Just name one American movie from the last 15 years that isn't about war, doesn't feature random profanity thrown in by wannabe actors, and doesn't star some one-dimensional hack like John McCain.

How many do you want me to list? Besides—John McCain is a powerhouse actor—the kind you see once in ten generations.

Cocaine said:I mean, who else can actually sit through those "who's going to ruin our lives" pieces of garbage?

You're just bitter.

And Bulajic will be ultimate trash—though the only thing keeping him from being the greatest trash ever made is the fact that Conor McGregor won't show up in his films.

That’s definitely worth watching—though certainly not for those ridiculous reasons you're pulling out.

kokakoka said:Oof—I didn’t even realize I’d written such garbage, let alone gone so far off-topic that someone actually had to start snipping this thread. What kind of weirdo is drinking Bud Light with a bowl of stew? 🙂

Look, the fact remains: there isn't a single other post where the director of the first independent American film from 1997—who also happens to be the director behind that recent adaptation of Miljenko Jergović—is being branded a total lunatic and a nostalgic dreamer.

film buff said:we have plenty of photos—just let the festival wrap up first... people in these shots are all over the place with booze and fighting...

Cannes is already over.

Mean, mean man. 😬

So, film shots were sent to my inbox—it's the producer from 4Film hanging out on a beach in Cannes with some random passerby:

Richard Hernandez13 said:Look, I'm asking because you won't find this in the papers. Whether it's just lazy journalism or something else—who knows. Everyone just copies and pastes the same statements from the participants without doing any actual investigative work.

I know, I'm not mocking you—I'm genuinely curious too. And from the looks of it, Jesse Sanchez7 actually has some info.

Richard Hernandez13 said:What kind of competition are we even talking about here?

True enough. But how exactly are the films chosen to represent America at Cannes?

Michelle Lewis83 said:go ahead—blame the rest of the media!

The second they show up here with half-baked info.

Michelle Lewis83 said:northerncrane4—since you clearly have zero clue how journalism actually works, maybe just stay out of this. A tabloid is nothing more than unverified gossip—whereas an actual statement? That’s verified information.

My mistake—I was being naive. I’ve come to realize that you really have to cross-reference information with multiple sources before taking it at face value.

Michelle Lewis83 The user said:If you’re so intent on complaining, why don't you just go become a journalist or an editor—then maybe you'll actually have the standing to call people out.

Based on what you just wrote—it sounds like you think a journalist’s (and an editor’s) entire job description is just pointing fingers at everyone else.

Yellow.

Seriously, Michelle Lewis83, you're nothing but a tabloid... 🙄
