    Meanwhile, I oh so wish that you’d gone Cannes; would love to have heard your thought on von Trier’s latest.

    @bemo: Damn! I know! Fights such as this one are my favor­ites! Also, the new Marins film was play­ing in the mar­ket! I knew I was gonna kick myself over not hav­ing been able to go…but could not have pre­dicted quite why. Helas…

    For next year, prom­ise me that you’ll hold a web-fundraiser; I’ll gladly contribute!

    She looks like she’s stay­ing in char­ac­ter while try­ing to keep the chee­tah from going after the cameraman.

    I was going to bring up the Von Trier fiasco/misunderstanding. Elsewhere on this vast inter­net, myself and oth­ers have been hav­ing a heated debate about “Dancer in the Dark”, which I hate, but I still find him intereting. Sometimes, any­way. But the idea of him tack­ling the hor­ror genre makes me mighty curi­ous, and I also won­der if that genre is what is put­ting off so many of the Cannes people, more than the film itself. But who knows.

    Patricia Laffan’s career MAKES NO SENSE – she went basic­ally straight from Quo Vadis to Devil Girl from Mars, a hil­ari­ous British B‑sci-fi flick. And thence, nowhere. What was going on with her? She’s still with us – I should get her num­ber and ask her straight out.

    A film does­n’t have to be good to con­tain an image that will last forever. Patricia Laffan as the Devil Girl from Mars, definitely.
