Big Change on my projections. Going with MISS7 to win the Summer now, since INDY5 reviews are not great.. What a missed oppurtunity. {nm} VictorY Jun 06, 10:04

Rest of my Summer Pick Five remains same.. Just switch the top two. {nm} VictorY Jun 06, 10:05

Indy reviews were never going to be great out of Cannes... it's not the right crowd of critics. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 06, 10:05

Oh I agree. Critics missed on MARIO, But the reviews note the film isn't vety good with Indy's character, he gets talked down a lot. Ooof {nm} VictorY Jun 06, 10:06

Reviews out of Cannes from critics who go to Cannes to see a Martin Scorsese movie. What did anyone expect? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 06, 10:46

what? thats not remotely true {nm} Moviesnob Jun 06, 11:09

I can write a thesis paper about film critics from my over 20 years rubbing elbows with them. TheWeekendWarrior Jun 06, 12:46

TOPG2 managed to impressed the Cannes crowd. {nm} Antibody Jun 06, 10:46

Less/lower expectations, less baggage... to know how critics think, you need to spend a lot of time around critics. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 06, 10:47

I mean, I had SUPER low expectations for Top Gun cause I never saw it when first released... TheWeekendWarrior Jun 06, 10:49

Critics at Cannes are also more part of fandoms then you think they are {nm} Moviesnob Jun 06, 11:11

The idea that critics at Cannes cant or wont like both INDIANA JONES and KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON is wrong {nm} Moviesnob Jun 06, 11:13

I mean, it's possible but I know much of the critics who attended Cannes this year personally, and they're pretty snobbish. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 06, 12:45

Thats your world, its not reflective of all the critics that go to Cannes. Most are not Dave Ehlrich. Most are folks you see at Fantasia Moviesnob Jun 06, 12:52

I've been to Fantasia a couple times and I'm long-time friends of Mitch. Maybe there's some overlap but not sure about critics persé. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 06, 12:58

Granted, I have never been to Cannes myself but believe me, I'm keeping track of who is there covering what and at least glancing at reviews {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 06, 13:03

Not every critic is RT approved either (as you know). {nm} Moviesnob Jun 06, 13:54

Gave 6 weeks for a plot detail that is probably more unpopular than alieans to spread. {nm} Fitch3k Jun 06, 17:52
