Cannes Diary: Le Festival...at full boil

Squeamish alert: I just watched Service, a jauntily unsanitary Filipino film in competition for the Grand Prize, in which a young man, well, he pops a boil on, as it were, his buttocks, with, to be exact, the lip of a Coke bottle. In close up. J'aime world cinema! And so to dinner.

If that doesn't deserve the tag "I watched it so you don't have to," then I don't know what does.

Thanks, Lisa. Now I must go snort some dish detergent in order to cleanse my mind of that horrifying mental image. Still, I guess it goes with the territory for you, huh? Must be why EW pays you the big bucks... ;-)
