Who is popular today?

I should fancy Wes Anderson’s new flick The French Dispatch given it’s about journalism (all journos adore films about journalism. It makes us feel important). Alas, a Cannes promo photo has put me off. In it, Anderson — who must have been en route to Henley Regatta — stands beside power stance Tilda Swinton, her electric blue get-up strongly hinting another Star Trek reboot is currently underway. Meanwhile an insufferably zany Bill Murray pairs two watches with a shirt of two patterns and hiking shoes. He looks like the human incarnation of a third-rate stag do. None of these people can have been invited to the same event.
