Unfortunately there will never be another TROMA or Loyd......The Countless artists that you have inspired, and all you have accomplished for true independent film however absurdly it may seem to the public is legendary and forever revered by those of us who "GET IT" ! Thanks LLoyd...... Luv Ya
This is why I don't put much stock into the mainstream film festivals. I've made a couple short indie films and submitted them to festivals. But I mostly make them just to entertain the few people that watch them and hopefully help struggling actors get some demo reel footage. If they happen to win anything, even better. Keep up the awesome work, Lloyd and all of you at Troma!
My two cents...for over twenty years I've attended the Cannes film festival, here I go, burning my bridges, but something needs to be said and people warned. Whereas once the police and security managing the festival had the very highest of standards and restraint, this year when queuing in the last minute entry queue (normally used to fill seats for screenings that ticket holders didn't turn up to use), the security choose not to utilize the prepared crowd funneling system but instead simply allowed the queue to become a confused milling mob all pressing at the barriers trying to understand why they were not being allowed to queue in an orderly fashion as usual. Then quite shockingly, the supervising security person began to pick up and throw back onto the people waiting to get in, or alternatively, violently kicking back the restraining barrier, against the crowd on the other side of it, causing the people behind it to be violently hit and hurt, both shocking and disgusting that festival attendees (with festival badges) were being treated so appallingly, since the crowd behind them was forcing them against the barrier, if it moved slightly forward it really wasn't at all their fault. I'm personally now looking at other options for festival visits next year, most likely Venice or Sundance. Cannes is sadly no longer the wonderful home of Cinema it once was, it has become elitist and oppressive. To further add insult to injury, at all the screenings I managed to make it into their were hundreds, I'm not exaggerating I took photo's to prove it, of seats that were empty when the screenings started, why these seats were not filled by people waiting outside, that queued for hours in the rain or blazing sun in the last minute queue, I have no idea, but really it was a very disorganised, shamefully poor show by the festival management this year. I was truly sorry not to see Lloyd and the Troma team at the festival this year but after watching this posted video I completely understand why, always one ahead of the competition, Kudos Lloyd
They are sad because troma does what they wish they could you make fun movies on budgets that would not cover their catering Peace love & jello A fan of troma forever TomCat Ps if you read this Lloyd tell your brother john I'm in Worcester and am still alive
I'm surprised you angle it that way with Lars Von Trier. Haven't he only been fucking around and being provocative as always? Something that shouldn't be an unfamiliar feat to Troma. However I'm not disagreeing on Cannes just growing to become more "hollywood" and elitist. The origin and what it was originally meant to be is long gone. Now it's mostly about mainstream movies and celebrities it seems.
In the end i do believe what they did and are trying to do is not so much "ban" Troma, but to try and clean up everything and ask that all those involved take a more "professional" and cleaned up "appearance" when out in the public eye.(which in my opinion is boring and i prefer more fun involvement). But im assuming some suits up in the higher ranks of the festival are just not "with it" anymore or never were and just looking to cause drama to satisfy their stupidity.
Guess it is time to start an anti-Cannes festival in the EU with a feast dedicated to "deplorable" and politically incorrect films. :-) "TromaCannes EU!!"
Lars von trier is not a nazi... He's an artist, and as an artist, if the zeitgeist tells you "don't go there..." you pretty much have to go there... That's what it's all about, damn the cost, damn the good will... Any true artist would understand. That being said, you and your crew were unfairly treated at the event, the same rules should obviously apply for everyone! Let's hope it gets better in the future 🤞✊fight the power! (Hollywood)
Lol and Trump's murica is a paradise ? I'm pretty happy to live in France regarding the tremendous intolerance and poverty i witnessed when visiting the US.

Keep doing what you're doing Uncy Lloyd! We all love you more for it
Interesting to see it from a real point of view rather than the polished preception.
Troma forever
LOL Lloyd trying to speak French to the police

Is anybody surprised that a bunch of elite snobs want to get rid of 'deplorables'?

The state of the EU and Britain is nightmarish. This is a terrible state of affairs.
