‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ gets booed

On Thursday night, outside the Palais des Festivals, wild fans crowded the streets as hysterical girls unfurled banners asking George Clooney to marry them; indeed, the third installment of the Ocean franchise was to be screened. The team (in addition to Clooney, Brad Pitt, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, and more showed up) walked the red carpet and signed autographs. Also present were fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, actress Fanny Ardant, director Claude Lelouch, Mickey Rourke (back froom the dead and it shows), Dita von Teese (still doing everything she can to camouflage her natural vulgarity under thick layers of make up and 'sophistication') as well as a spectacular and playful Scarlett Johanson. The crowd went crazy.
Inside the Palais, it was a different story. The film got booed and the applause was tepid at best.
I thought the film was enjoyable, though.

Later at the Orange party celebrating the creation of their very own Studio 37, champagne and exquisite ‘macarons’ fuelled the exhausted happy few who danced on the beach.
