    Is this your long-winded way of saying "Cite?" Yeah, I speculate about
    things. Been doing it a while, and been making it pretty clear I've
    been doing it. Plan to *keep* doing it. Might be you should tell your
    killfile. Unless of course you're having withdrawal from other ongoing
    battles and have simply chosen me as a stopgap...

    No "cite" is required since you offer no information other than an opinion that is based on nothing about how an audience -- indeed all audiences at Cannes -- are reprehensible. I will tell my killfile because I'm done with your mealy-mouthed, back-
    pedaling bullshit. You've gone off the fucking rails lately telling us about the dreams of people of color, how fat people should be penalized, and your sucking up to trolls is beyond the pale. I'd miss what you'd have to say except you don't say
    anything. Fuck off.
    To those who still linger here in the sulfurous vapors of William's scorched-earth exit, here's the sort of thing I'd have Googled up in response to any half-civil query about my notion of Cannes audiences:

    "The often persnickety audiences at the Cannes Film Festival are so legendary that..."

    "If they do not like it, Cannes audiences can shower it with boos
    and derisive whistles."

    "...the adulation and the sting of Cannes' passionate audiences."

    "I know the Cannes audiences either boo or applaud."

    "...Cannes audiences, usually the first to rise up in protest at
    extreme violence...""

    "In recent years, booing at Cannes has become virtually de rigueur..."

    Taxi Driver was weird and the plot was thin. Young Cybill Shephard and Albert Brooks were a surprise casting that I never heard of. And Scorcese drops the N-word.
    No movie DVDs left for 2023 viewing.

    I've never seen much correlation to which movies ate awarded/pop at Cannes and those that are actually any good.
