The Bee Movie and other stupid movie star tricks
For all the fuss over opening night, everyone knows it doesn't really count. The Cannes Film Festival doesn't start until the next day, when the celebrity stunts begin.
These stunts are part of the "other" Cannes, one that has nothing to do with any official screenings in the festival or in the market. Other Cannes is headquartered at the Carlton Hotel, a magnificent structure all but obscured by enormous billboards advertising films such as "The Simpsons Movie," "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" and a Paramount Pictures summer release, "Stardust," that I can only presume is conterprogramming. (IMDB keywords: Sword Fighting / Fairy / Witch / Tree / Promise)
And this morning, rising above all of them, was Jerry Seinfeld in a bee suit.
Seinfeld wasn't tapping into his inner Belushi; he allowed himself to be suspended on a cable strung from the top of the Carlton Hotel to the Carlton Beach on the other side of the Croisette in the name of DreamWorks Animation screening footage of "Bee Movie."Jerry, we hardly knew you.

Wow...Jerry , you are making it pretty hard to eat. Your face is everywhere. Please go away and take Jessica's purees with you!e

Quite the group. Renee looking puffy. I wonder if Jerry had the balls to have a Rev. Jackson character in the movie asking for reparations after the Bees find out that humans have been stealing there honey from them over the years and enslaving the bees in commercial beehives.
