Was late for the "red carpet" ritual of the opening ceremony, so didn't bother to go at all - otherwise, the usual slow opening night atmosphere - Pixar's opening movie "Up" is getting good reviews - took a few pictures of the red carpet and the opening party for "Up" and uploaded them directly via twitter - that's live reporting, only using a mobile phone - geek heaven!
Later at night, ran into an old friend who hasn't been here for four years, and through her met somebody I worked with back in the 90s when this whole Web in Cannes thing was still brand new, who told me he put up Quentin Tarantino for a week in Paris in 1992 when nobody knew him but that he still wasn't sure whether he could get an interview this time and get around the publicists. The evening ended with a beer while people-watching on the Croisette and listening to drunken conversation at the next table that involved a girl called Harmony as well as a mix of Dickens and Talking Heads citations - welcome to Cannes, baby!
