Mexico to Cannes

Evening

Before I begin I just want to point out that the wallpapers from Sanjiro’s update were all in contention for the wallpaper poll. The fanart for today are wallpapers I received after the 10 pics had been chosen.

If you haven’t voted yet, what are you waiting for?

Right, onto todays update…

The big news of the day is that My Blueberry Nights has been chosen to open the Cannes Film Festival. I may be slightly off on the exact date but I think the premiere will be on the 16th of May. Thanks to Thierry for this sexcellent news!

Another of Natalie’s big 2007 films is The Darjeeling Limited. Harper found an interesting article about the film. Even though Natalie is only mentioned in passing it’s worth a read. I hadn’t heard that Bill Murray was playing the father before this…more sexcellent news!

I’m sure this next item is going to birth a heated discussion in the comments section. TAMARA CERNA found a video from the Coldplay concert in Mexico and thinks that we can see Gael, Gwyneth Paltrow and Nat. It seems pretty conclusive that they were there but is this them?

Rounding off the news are two finds from Marina.

The first is a brief snippet from an interview about Israel. Ah yes, the return of the Mickey Mouse analogy. Oh how I’ve missed it so.

Pervs of the world can rejoice as Closer is coming to Blu-ray in May.

Let’s ride into the sunset with some more fanart.

Ben kicks things off with this wicked wallpaper.

Portfan sent in these 4 wallpapers.

Four

And finally, here is some fanart from Sonia. Sonia is eleven years old and reads the site with the help of her mom…that scares me more than the clown from IT. I think its great that there are kids who are fans of Natalie but I do worry that we occasionally do things that kids probably shouldn’t be reading.

I better find a mormon to update the site when Magoriums is released.
