Me likey the Jury. Yes.
Sorry but I don't get the Portman love.
I really tried to watch her stuff, but even in Closer Roberts stole the show for me. I don't know, she seems so normal
I'm seconding alex, I don't get Portman. I find her more irritating than endearing, tbh.
The jury last year was much MUCH better.
Love Penn, Cuaron and Lara.
But nothing can beat last years line up of Sarah Polley, Toni Collette, Stephen Fears!!!
Penn, I'm fine with. But Portman????
i personally don't get Lara. I thought she was bad in CONTROL but maybe she's great in her other films?
This jury is kinda odd. I wanna see Sean Penn and Achipatpong argue about whether to award the most bombastically overdirected film or the one where basically nothing happens
*Apichatpong
know what... Joe.

it's re: something off-topic.
thanks
Nat you have to check out Downfall Lara was quite good in it.
Control I haven't seen so I can't say.
Sorry I did not want to be mean or catty when speaking of Portman.
I just think that a lot of people like her because she's very pretty and she seems to be a good girl, unlike the other female stars of her generation who act like real bitches.
She acts well, but like a graduate who's performing before a panel and knows he/she is good. You can see the wheels turning.
Yeah love this line-up except for Lara. They should've got Scarlett instead seeing as they were going down the 2 pretty young things route.
But one of Scarlet's films is in competition "Vicki Christina Barcelona"...conflict of interest. Maybe Hathaway?
When I heard that Cuaron was on the jury, I assumed he'd be the head. Seems weird to me that he's not.
Vicki Cristina Barcelona is showing out of contention ala Match Point. Right?
The Lara choice is strange, yes. Was Audrey Tautou unavailable?
* out of competition, natch
