The critics at Cannes have been rough on some of the more anticipated films this year. The Da Vinci Code and Southland Tales, the new film from the Donnie Darko director, have both fared exceptionally poorly with the critics. It seems that Sofia Coppola’s Marie-Antoinette isn’t breaking the trend.
Marie-Antoinette, one of the early favourites for the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival, was booed at the end of the first press screening on Wednesday.
The period drama stars Kirsten Dunst and was directed by Sofia Coppola, who made the award-winning Lost in Translation.
Coppola looked taken aback after being told of the early reaction and said it was "disappointing".
Remember yesterday when I admitted to enjoying the misery of others? I suppose this is a little more vindictive, but I find pleasure in this film sucking, for it takes down two of my celebrity peeves at once: Sofia Coppola and Kirsten Dunst.
It’s not that I don’t like Sofia Coppola, I just think she’s overrated. Yes, I am just about the only person who didn’t love Lost in Translation. And just look at what she did to Godfather III (I’ve never seen the whole thing, and I'm talking out of my ass, so take that with a grain or twenty of salt). I'd like to see her taken down a notch on the General Pretension and Disdain for Plebians scale.
I assume I don’t really even need to cover why I don’t like Kirsten Dunst’s boney ass. Let’s just say that I don’t find her whiney voice and ‘pity me’ acting style all that adorable. I don't want anything bad to happen to her physically or personally, just, ya know, for her movies to bomb and her outfits to be universally panned. That's not so terrible.

Did she ever take those fangs off after Interview with the Vampire?
I fall in love with this site a little more with each post…It's nice to be in the honeymoon phase.
Kristen Drunkst is like a giant polished chunk of alabaster wearing shitty clothes and sucking at acting.
Marie AntoinNot.
dude, i get that the blog is new but TYPOS?! please. it's either sofia or sophia and one of 'em is right and the other is wrong but at least COMMIT to one.
Thank you, thank you!
Lost in Translation was nothing but an autobiographical look at a spoiled rich girl who goes away with her husband, and then sulks because HE HAS A JOB TO DO! I worship Bill Murray, but MAN did that movie bite. Hopefully this will start the backlash on Miss Coppola.
Well, evidently I'm the third person in the free world who thought Lost in Translation was the most over-rated movie of all time. I honestly think there are more of us out there but they're afraid to admit they "didn't get it" either because it's basically social suicide to do so. You normally get something like this in response: "Well, I thought it was a brilliant social commentary on the state of blah blah blah in the blah blah dee blah bleh with interesting insights into the blah bleh verbal diarreah blah blah.." Will you shut the fuck up already! I know you didn't really get it either!
No, you are not the only person who HATED Lost in Translation…my husband and I actually met and bonded over our equal disdain (it was initially disdain on my part but the awards and kudos for the "movie" turned that into HATE) for it. Of course seeing the movie when you are bored in a hotel room and travelling on business is probably not the best time/place to see it, but I don't think that would help either. Glad to see the "critics" (again using the term loosely) are finally catching on to her overratedness (new word).
LOST IS TRANSLATION was the all time worst movie………..ever. Everyone person I know that has seen that movie thought it was horrible. When we refer to a horrible movie and how the critics get it soooo wrong…..LOST IN TRANSLATION is the movie that gets mentioned!
i feel like the home i nestled in for myself in this delightful blog just got a bit cozier. i have finally found a wider community for my HATRED of lost in translation. crappy crappy crap crap is that movie. the end. also kirsten dunst cant speak out of whinetone. jake must like her for her mind.
Can I join in the "Lost In Translation" hate as well? Seriously, worst movie I've seen in the past 5 years.
There was one Academy member, forget his name, who said he would resign from the academy if it won any Oscars, he hated it so much. It did win for Best Original Screenplay so I wonder if he ever quit?
If her last name wasn't Coppolla, no way her work gets as much praise as it does.
Although I agree with you all that Lost In Translation kinda sucked (I'm Asian so in sucked in part because I thought it was racist), and although Kirsten Dunst can be irritating ("Crazy, Beautiful" anyone?)…for me she redeemed herself in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." I thought she was hilarious and touching as the stoned girlfriend…My two cents
Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola both excel at creating/acting in movies that they think are all about them: hip and cool and fashionable yet deep and sensitive victims of jealous people. Coppola's movies are thinly disquisd PR music video machines for her own image and Kirsten Dunst movies are all about getting people to think she's a sweet sexy and beautiful victim of other people's jealousy. Dunst
loves to play the sexy naive vicitmized girl to gain sympathy yet picking a holocaust movie to kiss ass to hollywood powers and then recently a journalist who gets killed so she can move her shallow butt into the oscar category. Dunst would love for everyone to think she was a sweet and sexy thing. She's a horrible actress.
Kirsten Dunst had some plastic surgery done. She looks completely different from her earlier pics. Her nose is not as wide and her cheeks aren't as huge and round.
