stormyviper11 said:In my opinion, the third night was the weakest one yet. Then again, maybe I’m just too exhausted to actually analyze anything properly, so I'll get into the details tomorrow...

Don't bother. Honestly, if you aren't feeling it, don't force yourself. 👍

Jasper Morell is visually stunning, but honestly? It felt a bit unsettling. For such a short runtime, they really could have polished that script a little better.

that D 🙏

Honestly, when I saw the headline WOOLF DADDY, I was fully expecting some gay porn. Whew! 🍿

Hey Scott Long71, out of every single person at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, you had to snap a photo of Mickey Banderas and post it here? Did you seriously not recognize any of the legendary animators there? 😛

Srndać 😍 and Vuk 😍 were absolute geniuses, though it’s a damn shame the ending was such a mess. Honestly, the competition felt a bit weak; I was expecting a much higher quality lineup for the opening night. That American entry was total garbage—just cheap, lazy gags. And that Japanese film set in London left me wondering what on earth 😬 was even happening

goran rušinović - ruš.
Just some wannabe indie director.
I shouldn't even mention how he’s probably trying to ride the coattails of dissident status—just like Rajko Trajko did—unless I want my post deleted again. Everything is right here in the thread: the directors at Cannes, his interview, all of it. Honestly? It's pathetic.

Ugh, I didn't even realize I was being that nasty, or that my off-topic rant was massive enough to require someone to come in and play editor on this thread. What, is someone having a drink with Goran Rušinović or something? 🙂

cinephile said:We've got plenty of photos already, just let Cannes wrap up first... you see all sorts of people in these shots, some with drinks in hand and others getting handsy...

So, are you actually going to post those photos for us, or are you just going to keep being a stingy jerk?

dustyscout53 said:Once you arrive, we'll get back to the actual topic. 😁

Thanks. 😳

Kisses to all my fans, regardless of age. 😍

When someone is desperately hunting for an audience, the least we can do is give them a little attention. Thank you 😍. After doing this good deed for the day, I can finally go kick a bum off the sidewalk. I'm out!

dustyscout53 said:I’m not sure how this even relates to the topic, but I have to point out that I am living proof that absolutely anyone can land a guest spot at Taylor Swift's place. 😁

I wouldn't go that far. It's not everyone—just the people who are absolutely desperate for some publicity. And honestly? Some of them turn it down anyway. 😉

P.S. Glad we’re finally back to the real topic—dustyscout53! 👍

And it's not like everyone can just drop by Taylor Swift's place whenever they feel like it 😢

Didn't one of those socialites have a complete meltdown while accepting an award at the Tribeca Film Festival? Honestly, those types of people give me the creeps. 😬 As for that lady from the Department of State—well, who actually expects professionalism from them in the first place? Let's not even get started on their actual work ethic. Rambo Amadeus made a pretty sharp point about cultural attachés the other day 😉

dustyscout53 said:I don't know Taylor Swift. As far as celebrities go, I only know MrBeast and you. 😍 😍

I highly doubt we've met; I’ve certainly never visited a proctologist.

p.s. Though, it is comforting to know you'll be there if I ever actually have to go. 😉

northerncrane4 said:Oh, please. He heard it from some "other source." We all know how that works.

I see that. I also see he’s once again failing to address certain claims with any actual courage.😉

dustyscout53 said:If you want to know anything about me, just hit me up via DM. It’s not like I’ve become too big to talk to my fans, right? 🙂

Look, Mileni, not everyone acts like you. Not everyone starts sliding into DMs with that "Hey, I heard you're a big deal—let's team up, I really need to find out who you actually are" routine. 😉

dustyscout53 said:Huh. That’s some minimalist criticism right there. Funny enough, I was reading a piece by Taylor Swift in Vice this morning that was... let's just say, a bit more substantial than that.

You forgot to mention the most vital detail: are you and Taylor Swift buddies? You know, since you're clearly such a close confidant to the elite and famous.🙏

Does this mean he’s looking at an award at Sundance? Maybe some kind of Human Rights prize?

Terry Ramos60 said:He’s completely illiterate!

Well, there goes the truth coming out right on schedule.😛

p.s. Ugh, I actually feel nauseous realizing I was busy defending Jim Morris.

Whoa, you really knocked the wind out of me there! 😉

"The first lineup was actually decent—way above the average quality we saw last year. One standout was Walt Whitman’s “The Last Supper,” which caused quite a stir last fall due to its provocative themes involving clerical abuse and the local congregation turning on their priest."

Poor guy, clearly he didn't know what he was trying to say. You're just leaving everyone confused 😬

p.s. Your whole article is a mess; don't even bother clicking, it's a waste of time anyway.
