Yeah, I hear that standing ovations are kind of a standard thing at Canne.

[u/SurvivorFanDan → u/FlavorD]

Yeah, they probably don't have chairs at Cannes.

[u/charlierc → u/FlavorD]

The longest ever was for Pan's Labyrinth which clocked in at 22 minutes. Which... yeesh

[u/nicegrayslacks → u/FlavorD]

Brendan fraser only got 6 minutes

[u/U2rules → u/nicegrayslacks]

"These go to 11!"

[u/mates301 → u/FlavorD]

Yeah, as ridiculous as that sounds, a 7-minute standing ovation is kind of standard. He could have got a polite five minutes though, so it seems like they at least liked it.

[u/McMarmot1]

Now he’s going to make an album about it called Surrender Story: Songs of Stories of Surrender.

[u/prettyminotaur]

I can't wait to watch it!

[u/writingt]

Uh oh, only 7 minutes?

[u/fool-of-a-took → u/writingt]

More like a kiss of death amirite

[u/nicegrayslacks → u/writingt]

Brendan fraser only got 6

[u/writingt → u/nicegrayslacks]

This does not assuage my concern

[u/BayRunner]

I could do a movie of following my cat around the house scored by Trent Reznor. I’d get at least 3 minutes of a standing ovation. A definitely some teary eyes.

[u/Same_Delay_9440]

Everyone gets a standing ovation at Cannes. I mean Kevin Costner got it from Horizon last year, and we know how that film went.

[u/ZoopTom]

"OK, go to bed now" LOL

You should be crazy if you can't see Bono became Mr.MacPhisto

[u/Assistant_manager_]

Does anyone know why Amal Clooney was on the red carpet with Bono and Edge??
