The 2008 Cannes Film Festival kicked off last week (it ends on May 25), and we've already got questions about this year's most prestigious French film fete. Granted, some of those questions are things like "What's with all dem subtitles?" and "Is Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Three Monkeys a prequel to Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys?", but here are five questions that, hopefully, don't make us sound as much like completely raving jackasses:

1. Can Fernando Meirelles' Blindness be as underwhelming as the early Cannes reports are indicating? We don't know anything about Jose Saramago's novel that the film is based on, but Meirelles directed two of the most stirring films of the last decade - 2002's City of God and 2005's The Constant Gardener - so we're having a hard time believing that Meirelles could miss the mark so completely.

2. Steven Soderbergh has been working on two different films based on the life of the Latin American rebel (and popular t-shirt mascot) Che Guevara - The Argentine and Guerilla, both starring Benicio Del Toro as Che. However, Soderbergh is showing both movies under the title Che at Cannes as a single feature with an intermission. Anyone willing to wager whether Soderbergh will try releasing the four-hour Che in the U.S. or just stick with the separate releases? (As a side bet, will anyone wager that the hot-and-cold Soderbergh's Che won't come close to anything as affecting as Walter Salles' The Motorcycle Diaries?)

3. Who the hell let Woody Allen title his new movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona? Our guess? The same people who titled the new James Bond movie The Quantum of Solace.

4. The AP newswire is filled with stories like "New Indiana Jones Movie Survives Cannes Premiere," but really, what were Lucas and Spielberg expecting? Word of mouth on Indy 4 has been mixed at best, and Lucas has for so long cast himself as a critic-proof entity that he's practically immune to any critical reaction. Why can't the filmmakers just admit that they opening Crystal Skull at Cannes because it nicely coincided with their marketing plan and stop the pretense of opening the film at Cannes for artistic reasons.

5. James Toback is premiering his new documentary about Mike Tyson at Cannes this year. Will Mike Tyson play nice with the press during its premiere or will the flashbulbs make him Hulk-out and try to decapitate the poor guy in the Kung-Fu Panda suit? You be the judge.
