the venice film festival looks fun

The 66th Venice Film Festival opened yesterday, and they have a huge lineup this year with premiere screenings of ‘the Informant!’ from Steven Soderbergh and Matt Damon, and ‘Men Who Stare At Goats’ starring George Clooney.

In the formal competition are ‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans’ with Nic Cage and Eva Mendes, ‘the Road’ starring Viggo Mortensen (based on the Cormac McCarthy bestseller), Michael Moores new loveletter to himself about capitalism, and ‘Life During Wartime’, Todd Solondz’ sort-of sequel to ‘Happiness’.

More importantly: tits! Thanks to Italian actress Maria Grazia Cucinotta, who has been bending over with her boobs pushed together as if that were a normal pose for two days now. On the red carpet yesterday, and the day before on the beach with some kids. Apparently in Italy 4 is a good age to start being exposed to seductive sexy women with huge tits. I feel cheated.
