...screening was held in a small theater off the rue d'Antibes, because this most film-savvy film - in part a homage to The Seventh Seal ("Ingmar Bergman's going to be jealous of this one," co-director Gilliam promised during the filming) - had not been deemed worthy of inclusion in the Festival proper. Such is the tardiness of official culture in understanding radical popular art. (The same thing happened this year with Borat. Sacha Baron Cohen, mocking the Festival's fabled history of topless starlets, paraded down the Croisette in a chartreuse G-string, but the film...
...positive outlook investment rating from Standard & Poor's. The E.U. and the U.S. have recognized Kazakhstan as a "market economy," and it has a firm chance of joining the World Trade Organization this year. Though it's careful not to annoy Russia - ever a major and jealous presence and a key market - Kazakhstan nevertheless had a pipeline built, allowing transport of its oil directly to China. To Russia's chagrin, it also joined the U.S.-sponsored Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline that breaks Russia's long-standing monopoly on delivering Caspian Sea oil to world markets, though the pipeline does...
...could attach your name to any song written over the past few years, which would it be? Interesting. There's quite a few songs I've been jealous of. Certainly Wonderwall by Oasis. Oh. Easy.

...Reeves had been having an affair with an older, married woman whose husband was no stranger to violence. And Reeves did have a live-in girlfriend with a jealous streak. But in the end the movie cannot link his death to either of these factors. Soberly written by Paul Bernbaum and unsensationally directed by Allen Coulter, it has to leave Reeves pretty much where it finds him, as a man who wanted to be a movie legend but ended up as the subject of movie gossip. That talk has always been minor - we're not discussing the industrial-strength suppositions...
...Unfortunately, Hollywoodland is not really up to sophisticated social-psychological explorations of Reeves's situation at the time of his death. It wants to melodramatize it more than it wants to fully understand it. The jealous girlfriend business doesn't go anywhere beyond the conventional, but the affair with the married woman does have some traction, in that Toni Mannix - played with lusty high spirits by Diane Lane - was the wife of Eddie Mannix (Bob Hoskins), who was Louis B. Mayer's enforcer at M-G-M, the man who knew all the studio's secrets, scandalous and otherwise...
