For Director Yorgos Lanthimo, The Lobster is his dark, dark comedy is one long and loud metaphor to humanity's never-ending struggle to understand just what the hell we all want out of love. The story takes place in a dystopian society of the near-future where unlucky singles are tasked by the government to find a romantic partner in 45 days. What happens if they don't? Imprisonment? Death? Not quite. They're crudely turned into an animal of their choice and vanished into the woods. The film premiered recently at Sundance Film Festival, putting in the top of film news.In other film news, Will Smith will join his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, in not attending the 2016 Academy Awards in protest of a lack of diversity among nominees.

"We're part of this community but at this current time, we're uncomfortable to stand there and say that this is OK." He jokingly added, "My wife's not going. It would be awkward to show up with Charlize [Theron]."Also in film news, another year, another Avatar 2 delays.
