She doesn't act in it does she?

In completely unimportant news (hey, as ever it isn't about that singing show on Fox!), Sophia Coppola's new film Marie-Antoinette was booed at the Cannes file festival.

The movie is about the famed headless-queen of France. I think it is probably always a risk to have an American make a file about French Royalty (though maybe Jerry Lewis as "The Nutty Bourbon" would work). I suppose the thing the French probably most disliked was the Hollywood-ending the studio forced on Coppola. Cyborg Marie Antoinette's headless torso rises from the wooden plank, snaps her head back on and then mows down the crowed with her machine gun left arm and rocket-launcher right.

Those haughty French just don't appreciate us making their history better by giving them happier endings and more explosions.
