Ego-yan is this retarded Canadian filmmaker making a splash at Cannes. From CNN - regarding how pornographic his latest movie is :

Yet Egoyan wondered why viewers were so complacent about a scene in which a performer (Colin Firth) viciously pounds an audience member's head on the floor for heckling his partner (Kevin Bacon).

"It really is interesting to me how people respond to the sexuality but not to the violence," Egoyan said at a news conference, responding to reporters' questions about why he went as far as he did in sex scenes involving Bacon, Firth, Alison Lohman and other co-stars.

"No one says that it goes too far when he's bashing his head against the floor. No one ever talks about that. That's the most gory scene I've ever done, and people don't have a problem with that. It's weird. We're still really kind of obsessed about sex."

[...]

Lanny and Vince's sexual conquests, including a threesome with the woman who ends up dead, are presented with steamy explicitness, sometimes as comical commentary on their lifestyle of debauchery.

Karen also is lured into Lanny and Vince's carnal activities, including a lesbian encounter with a woman in an "Alice in Wonderland" getup.

Bacon figures it may not be the movie's sex that disturbs people so much as the naturalness of it.

"Sex is often times all right to see as long as the participants are clothed, or some sort of piece of furniture is put in the way of the nudity," Bacon said. "One of the things about the movie is that when we have sex, we're naked.

"That's what kind of flips people out, which I don't understand. Sometimes, personally, I leave some of my clothes on, but usually ... I don't know about the rest of you. It is unfortunate that people find that so disturbing. To me, I think that the sex in the movie is incredibly appropriate."

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, specially this Ego-yan tool, but when people bash other people's heads against the floor, they usually send them to the hospital. You mean, Mr. Ego-yan, that you didn't have your actors really bash one of their heads on the floor, such as in real life? And if they did, would you also not understand if there was a scandal? I really don't understand all this fakiness either. And people not wanting to see your retarded pornography which you want to pass off as cinema... Really...

I haven't seen the movie and do not plan to see it. But I hope the reviewers slam it. Just by the review, it reminded me of "Gegen die Wand" by Fatih Akin. Why do some of these turds that direct film nowadays think they have to shove all this full nudity, full contact, full action sex in our faces? It's gross. I don't want to see two or more prostitutes (the real profession name of these "actors") perform sexual acts in front of a camera and have that presented to me as a "movie."

Someone please educate this Ego-yan tool that's why, in real movies, actors don't perform all the sexual acts people do in their private spheres.

And to think Colin Firth is in this crap... Can Firth hit more bottom?
