Cannes Lightning Round: Market Gems, Robert Pattinson Unearthed

· Jump ahead at any time to find out what the hell Rob Pattinson is doing in Cannes, but the most revelatory news of the day is almost certain to be found down at the Marché du Film. There, at the international market comprising hundreds of titles, VF.com has pared down the two main frontrunners for grindhouse glory: Run! Bitch Run! and Hanger, the latter of whose tagline ("Payback is a bitch of a whore") may provide just the von Trier-sanctioned nudge to put it over the top.

· Robert Pattinson, on hiatus from New Moon, jetted off to Cannes to say that not only has the franchise not disowned him, but also that he's committed to star in a fourth Twilight film if/when they ever get around to Breaking Dawn. For now, though, he's gearing up to see Inglourious Basterds and pimping his own upcoming project Remember Me, about "a 23-year-old man who spends six weeks after meeting someone working out if he is in love or not." Careful, Rob! Taylor Lautner waits for no man.

· And worry not, Twilight-ers -- there were no Pattinsons harmed in the strike-related, three-hour power outage that hit the city this afternoon.

· Palme d'OrWatch update: The Asians are coming! And so is Ken Loach, albeit kind of distantly, kicking a soccer ball.

· Single-shot video genius Jeff Wells keeps the hits coming, this time with a classic ostensibly explaining why he hates the American Pavilion. These weirdly ambient lo-fi gems really must be the next best thing to being there. Or the next worst thing. You know what I mean.

· Lee Daniels has been "Cannes'd y'all!!!" It must have been the VitaminWater.
