A French-y Fortnight: Trade Roughage 04/25/08

Under discussion:
  • The pleasure of being RobbedDespite (or, perhaps, in reaction to) grumblings in France that too few of the home country’s filmmakers had found a slot on the schedule for the Cannes Film Festival, the just-announced Directors’ Fortnight sidebar is overwhelmingly made up of French co-productions. Oh, and the closing Fortnight film? Josh Safdie’s The Pleasure of Being Robbed.
  • Baby Mama will compete at the box office this weekend from its comic polar opposite, Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay. As keeping a notebook puts it, it’s like “a psychic microcosm of the democratic primary. Baby Mama is to Hillary as Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo is to Barack!”
  • Jimmy Fallon, having apparently abandoned his movie career after Factory Girl, will soon be announced as Conan O’Brien’s replacement as host of NBC’s 12:30 pm chat show.
