Healthy number of Bayern and Dortmund fans funnelling through customs at Heathrow. Should be a cracking match tonight.@Samjuro Reacher wrote everything down in a giant ledger.@HighSierraMan We need that Steven Gaydos feeling!Hello, London! Goodbye, Cannes!@Samjuro He'd rip Bourne a new asshole, then cram what's left of Bourne inside that new asshole.
@marcbernardin Amazing. Would love to double bill that with Tracy Jordan's A Blaffair to Rememblack.Love this pic of Peter Buck. #REM http://t.co/jE2mmXETfoI bet John Harrison doesn't have to get up at 5am to go to the airport. God, I wish I were John Harrison. Somebody has to be.@ChrisHewitt JOOOOOOOOOOOOHN!
Retweeted by Chris HewittI wonder what John Harrison is up to right now. No good, most likely. Isn't that just like John Harrison? #JohnHarrisonI remember hurting from laughing so hard at #TheHangover. Part III was the same thing, except without the laughing.
Retweeted by Chris Hewitt@Isdancing No, was busy with that interview. Will have to catch it back in Blighty. Hope @twhiddleston doesn't mind!@stuarthazeldine Only just got this! Having an early dinner soon, then hitting the hay. 5am cab... Not sure where we're going yet.So #Cannes 2013 finished for me 20 minutes ago with a Will Forte interview. I was his last of the day - he hugged me in relief/celebration.God bless, pedants.@racheltreg Nobody. Just a 'joke'!Ask a movie star, 'what are you wearing?' on the red carpet and everyone's happy. Ask it during a phoner and suddenly you're a big pervert.Videblogisode! Get yer videblogisode here! Actual videblogisode! http://t.co/dvafBWRWtUMind you, Bruce Dern has been supporting Chelsea since the 70s, so that's ok. He's not one of those Johnny come lately bandwagon jumpers.This may not come as a shock to anyone, but Bruce Dern is an absolute effin' legend - even if he does support Chelsea. #Cannes@louiseber Thank you! It flew right over Damon's head, which was lovely.

@NickdeSemlyen Sounds amazing, neighbs. You've done it again! In a good way!@NickdeSemlyen What the hell did you do? How excited were you?@adamlloydbuss Absolutely snowed, sir. Have barely left the flat, so catching up would have been difficult! But hope you had a cracker...The Empire apartment is alive with the sound of Bane impressions. That's surely The Dark Knight Rises' greatest legacy. #ForYouIf there's anyone left in Hollywood who hasn't yet been cast in Days Of Future Past, raise your hand. So we can laugh and point at you.@edibow Get blind drunk, pass out, leave it on the roof. #advice #helpful@DapperDan Indeed.@davidbcooper I doubt it. I think Joss Whedon would like to have control over his Quicksilver - and the worlds can't be combined.So, Quicksilver is in Days Of Future Past? Would love to know if that was always the case, or if he's been crowbarred into the story.i can now cross off being on @empiremagazine podcast with @ChrisHewitt @yo_damo @AliPlumb off my bucket list! thank you guys! #cannes2013
Retweeted by Chris Hewitt@wongie1 May well do, although you'll have a better chance of getting in. Sorry you missed it!@wongie1 Fancy being on the podcast? We're recording at our apartment soon. Text me for the address!Timed my run to perfection, and now awaiting the debut of Nebraska. Here come the Payne! #Cannes2013@totalfilm_jamie That wasn't a sixty something woman, that was me in a dress. And I wasn't tutting.

Retweeted by Chris HewittUm, does a cat beard have to be on your face? Just checking. No reason.

How do you think Charlie Adam got in the team?Another storm has hit Cannes. Not surprised - I'm pretty sure I saw Robert Redford bobbing around on a pedalo earlier.I am crossing a roa

Retweeted by Chris HewittHello. For the last few days, @Louisa_Wells and I have been making Cannes videblogisodes. Oh look, here's one now. http://t.co/OyOKdhyHMs@IncredibleSuit Well, he's being a man of steel, innit?@HitFixGregory I disagree. He doesn't go for the easy out of histrionics. He just *is*. Didn't catch him acting once.I took the train to work today. Had a nightmare getting it up the stairs I can tell you.
Retweeted by Chris HewittAll Is Lost is also a 180 shift from Margin Call for JC Chandor, who is rapidly proving himself the real deal. Highly recommended.@CanalDidier Agreed! (Thanks, Google Translate!)@DaleyNixon A couple of lines, but that's it.@ghekkomanic @TheGMcConnachie Really just him.All Is Lost, aka The Old Man Vs The Sea, is gripping and brilliantly directed. Redford says virtually nothing and yet everything. #CannesAbout to see JC Chandor's All Is Lost, aka Life Of Pi with Robert Redford and no Richard Parker. Loved Margin Call, so I'm excited. #Cannes@catherinebray Will try!@Jack_Morrissey @BurnettRM That was my first thought as well. What if Zod is the anti-God, making it through that damn mirror at last?@catherinebray Which cinema?

“@Louisa_Wells: Les dents de la mer! https://t.co/f6eYqoRAfh” Holy shit, I'm on the Vine!At the Cinema de la Plage for a very special screening of Jaws. Already bumped into @RichardDreyfuss. Can Spielberg be far behind? #Cannes
Retweeted by Chris HewittGreat, now they're going to have to come up with a new name for the President's Xbox.
Retweeted by Chris Hewitt“@Louisa_Wells: Day 8 - Cannes 2013 - @ChrisHewitt: "Is 'mega-twat' as good a song as 'Ploppin'?"” Well, Twitter? You be the judge!A Halo TV show? If my past experience of Halo is anything to go by, I'll be killed halfway through watching the first episode. #XboxRevealFinally saw A Good Day To Die Hard. It's amazing that a cat could write a movie and that humans would shoot it, no questions asked.
Retweeted by Chris Hewitt@DKsMum I love all the performances in that movie - even the cop who comes in after the robbery. But for me, Baldwin is the pick.@Norwichbooks Nope. Just Pacino.@paulhomer Pacino was. Lemmon wasn't.@DKsMum He dominates the movie. That one scene is utterly indelible and the Glengarry reference point 20 years on. And he's amazing.Eight days into our Cannes stay. @AliPlumb: "Why haven't we been using the dishwasher?" @Louisa_Wells: "There's a dishwasher?" Oh dear.It still astounds me that Alec Baldwin didn't win Best Supporting Actor for his turn in Glengarry Glen Ross. Hell, he wasn't even nominated.@neilmbriscoe @HelenLOHara @micfriel Love the castle. Like Mr Tayto. But never been a fan of the crisps.Off to see Jaws on the beach tonight. Word on the grapevine is that it may be introduced by Bad Hat Harry himself. #amazing #Cannes@DickieRay Maybe. But the other fella. Not Scheider. Nor Shaw. The other fella. No, not Bad Hat Harry. The other fella.@HelenLOHara @micfriel It's alright, I don't like Tayto anyway.@DickieRay Cinema de la Plage, 9.30. I think You-Know-Who might be introducing...@jonnypile And he spelled his surname wrong.@katbrown82 You are my hero.“@wendyide: Denis' Bastards: like crawling over razor blades & used syringes while someone chucks bottles of piss at you.” Aka Friday night.“@edgarwright: Drink up! A brand spanking new 'World's End' poster for you. http://t.co/VWzV7pcVWq” Nice.@DickieRay Nice avatar, sir. Will try for today, more likely tomorrow. Going to Jaws later on?To my eternal regret, I've never pierced a Brosnan.@DalekNek "Who are you?", "What year is it?" and "Who's the President?" are my questions of choice.@munrofilms Oh, sure, right. Next you'll want me to interview a lesbian Queen!This morning, I interviewed a man about a film. Later, I'll interview another man about another film. Always important to mix it up. #CannesFirst she jumps out of a helicopter, now she's a lesbian. The Queen's really racing through her bucket list, isn't she? What's that? Oh.@PeterBradshaw1 That's breakfast, elevenses, lunch, second breakfast, afternoon tea, tea, dinner, third breakfast and supper sorted.@THEBRYANHITCH @andydiggle Fair enough. I can't see a Feige, though, as so many different producers hold rights to different characters.@andydiggle @THEBRYANHITCH Wasn't Geoff Johns meant to occupy that role? I remember him being positioned like that. Hasn't happened yet.Today in Cannes, it's all about two classics for me: the 50th anniversary re-release of Cleopatra, then Jaws ON THE BEACH!!!@Samjuro I spy a gap in the market...

@Roque_writer She's very good, as are the rest of the cast. And yes, I'd say she's second lead.Mme. Doubtfire sure has a firm handshake. http://t.co/Wl0kOL4vH9

Good cast, nice Marscapes. #Cannes@leewest82 Maybe. Maybe.
