Horoscopes 05-31-12 | Arts & Entertainment | South Philly Review

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): You may not feel like making waves among the group. Don?t go along with just anything to keep the peace. Lucky number: 786.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22): You want to express thoughts and feelings. If an audience is absent, writing down personal thoughts becomes a necessity. Lucky number: 570.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): A sudden insight will shake up thinking about a private matter. You won?t mind that this issue is exposed. Greater freedom is the prize. Lucky number: 843.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): Organizing becomes difficult. You may have to wait to complete chores. Imagining decorating ideas could be relaxing and gratifying. Lucky number: 960.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Daydreaming about an imaginary place delays more productive tasks. The outside world will not get the best of you at this time. Poetry or artistic studies might hold attention. Lucky number: 631.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Do not expect to have a realistic view in the professional realm. Avoid making promises to take on additional responsibilities. Agreeing to something that is outside your expertise is likely. Lucky number: 902.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): It becomes easier to go along with the group agenda. Don?t get caught up in dramatics. Stay on the sidelines as much as possible. Lucky number: 435.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): Professional life takes up attention. Be honest about areas that could use a change and plot out the steps that will bring greater fulfillment. Lucky number: 261.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): A fast-talking member of the group will have you agreeing to do something before you realize what it is. Stall until you are more levelheaded. Lucky number: 175.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): You may have a romanticized career notion. You may be involved in a calling that is beneficial to the welfare of humanity. Be sure not to flaunt this in a superior manner. Lucky number: 632.

ARIES (March 21 to April 20): Stall when someone asks to borrow money or a prized possession. The chances of a return are sketchy at best. Even if this person intends to make good on this loan, the agreement may not be honored. Lucky number: 397.

TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): Ponder the past, because as the saying goes, the truth will set you free. Coming to terms with what has happened rather than living in denial will ultimately allow you to feel good. Talk to people who know what it was really like. Lucky number: 022.

    Madonna Covers Lady Gaga in Concert: A Diss or a Tribute?


    Madonna recently went out of her way to once again not-so-subtly remind everyone that she is, in fact, in a sense, an older version of Lady Gaga.

    The queen of pop was performing "Express Yourself" at a rehearsal in Tel Aviv, Israel when she suddenly trotted out a cover of "Born This Way."

    Of course, the two tracks blended seamlessly, reviving debate over whether Lady Gaga ripped off Madonna with her 2011 smash hit single.

    Although she stayed mum on Gaga's song for some time, Madge eventually referred to it as "reductive" and undoubtedly influenced by her earlier work.

    There is no actual feud here, but the whole thing seems to have an air of condescension, as if Madonna is wielding the cover over her head.

    Or, on the other hand, is Madonna merely winking at the controversy while celebrating the younger performer and the highest form of flattery?

    Smart Pebble robots replicate objects the way a good hive mind should (video)

    Image

    Art imitating life (T-1000, anybody?) or yet another evolutionary step towards the subjugation of mankind? For now, let's just shift focus to the immediate and soak in this novel feat of robo-replication engineered by a team from M.I.T. Headed up by Professor Daniela Rus, the Smart Sand project looks nothing like it sounds and that's because the tech in question is currently more cube than grain. Measuring 12mm per side, these intelligent pebbles work in unison to recreate an object by first surrounding it and then building a shared 3D map that's used as a blueprint for duplication. Eventually, the researchers hope to shrink the units down to just 1mm in size, effectively creating a "sand" that could completely engulf and actually clone objects (think: tools) as needed, in multiples or even enlarged versions. That promise of an ultra-portable bag of 3D-printing fairy dust is still safely a ways off, so in the meantime, content yourself with video footage of the mini-modules first cyborg steps after the break.

    16-year-old sets off buzz over 325-year-old physics

    Jugend Forscht

    Sixteen-year-old Shouryya Ray, a student from Dresden who was born in Calcutta, submitted a paper proposing analytical solutions to two problems in particle dynamics.

    By Alan Boyle

    A research paper that claims to fill in a gap in Isaac Newton's formulas for the physics of falling objects has drawn worldwide attention to a 16-year-old student in Germany, but physicists are reserving judgment until they've seen the proof.

    The focus of the buzz is Shouryya Ray, an Indian-born student who won second prize this month in the math and informatics category for Germany's Jugend Forscht student science competition. Ray tackled a couple of longstanding puzzlers for physics students: How do you account for air resistance in calculating the trajectory of ball thrown out at an angle? And precisely how does a ball thrown against the wall rebound?


    The first question relates to Newton's law of universal gravitation: In his Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, Newton laid out how a gravitational field would affect a thrown object ??but he didn't account for the effect of air resistance. Through the centuries, physicists have used numerical approximations to take drag into account, and when computers come into play, those approximations can be incredibly precise. But Ray said he wanted to come up with a set of formulas that could calculate the effect directly, even though his instructors said that had never been done.

    "I asked myself: Why can't it work?" he told the German newspaper Die Welt.

    That's what Ray tried to do in his prize-winning paper, titled "Analytical?Solution of Two?Fundamental?Unsolved?Problems of?Particle Dynamics" ("Analytische L?sung von zwei ungel?sten fundamentalen Partikeldynamikproblemen"). In addition to the falling-ball problem, Ray took on a puzzler of more recent vintage, having to do with the description of a particle's collision with a wall, as described by 19th-century theory. But it was the "kid-trumps-Newton" angle that really stirred up a buzz.

    Die Welt's report came early in the game: The Daily Mail and?The Sunday Times of London picked up the story, adding to the sensation. The idea that a teenager could figure out something that Newton didn't is irresistible ? particularly when the teen is an immigrant from Calcutta who says he's no genius. But the story just sparked more questions among inquiring minds in such online hangouts as?Physics Forum,?Slashdot?and Reddit: What exactly did Ray do? And were these problems really such mysteries to solve?

    That's a challenge, because Ray's paper was a school project submitted for a contest, and thus not subject to the publication process and peer review that professional work typically goes through. For that reason, the experts are reluctant to weigh in.

    "This story seems rather suspicious," Richard Fitzpatrick, a physicist at the University of Texas in Austin, told me in an email. "None of the news reports give any details of the calculation. None of the people who hailed Shouryya Ray as a genius are scientists, and none of?them give the impression that they have seen the calculation in question. It is impossible to gauge the scientific merit of the calculation until it is made public."

    Syracuse University physicist Simon Catterall said in an email that calculating the trajectories of falling objects hadn't been seen as a particularly grand puzzle of physics. "The background given in the article seems genuine enough, so it may indeed be true, but I haven't heard anything about a new solution to a Newtonian problem on the grapevine," he told me.

    Based on what's come out about the work so far, the consensus seems to be that Ray has done amazing work for his age ? and if he had to choose between his passion for science and his passion for soccer, he'd be well-advised to pick math and physics.?His paper putting forth an "analytical solution to two fundamental unsolved problems" may not be the breakthrough that some of the reports have made it out to be, but that doesn't take anything away from the teenager's achievement.

    "What Ray has worked out, almost certainly independently, would definitely put him in the 99th percentile amongst his peers and maybe even more," one Redditor observed.

    By the way, the first-place winner in the math and informatics category, Julius Kunze, wrote a paper on relativistic ray tracing. But that's a different story...?

    Update for 5 p.m. ET: Other experts on Newtonian physics have replied to my follow-up queries via email:

    Oxford University physicist James Binney: "Doesn't sound too interesting to me. The resistance of air to the ball won't be susceptible to simple analytic formulae ??if the ball is of ordinary size, [greater than a centimeter] radius ??the flow around it will be in the high Reynolds-number regime and involve a thin boundary layer. Such flows were extensively studied from the last part of the 19th century, so it's true that they lie beyond Newton's knowledge. A good approximation will be to take the drag force as pi r^2 rho v^2, where r is the radius of the ball, v its speed and rho the density of air. I'm unaware of a puzzle regarding bouncing balls. In detail the bounce will depend on the physical properties of the ball ??as any squash player knows. Usually one adopts a coefficient of restitution.?To be impressed we need to know details."

    University of Bristol physicist Michael Berry: "Without seeing the details of what Ray has claimed, it's impossible to comment intelligently. It depends crucially on how he has modeled the air resistance. But a falling body with air resistance (however modeled) is hardly a 'fundamental unsolved problem,' as he seems to think. There's a powerful aroma of hype."??

    Official: Moments before plane crash caught on video

    By msnbc.com staff and news services

    Security video captured a small plane taking off from a southern Utah airport just before it crashed about 300 yards from the runway, killing all four men aboard, a federal investigator said Sunday.

    Zoe Keliher of the National Transportation Safety Board said the video shows the single-engine Cessna 172 flying at a low level early Saturday morning at St. George Municipal Airport.

    "The airplane continued down the runway and made a rapid ascent," Keli?her told the Salt Lake Tribune.?"Shortly after that, you see a descent of a few flickers of light but not the plane."


    She added that it's too early to say whether the airport's camera video will offer clues into the cause of the crash.

    Marc Mortensen, assistant to the St. George city manager, said officials believe the four men aboard the plane were killed upon impact. The wreckage wasn't discovered until more than four hours later because the airport is not staffed at night, he added.

    The victims were identified Sunday as Colby Hafen, 28, and Christopher Chapman, 20, both of Santa Clara; Tanner Holt, 23, of Washington City; and Alexander Metzger, 22, of St. George.

    Keliher and Mortensen said they were unsure where the plane was headed at the time. Keliher said only one of the four men had a pilot's license, but neither she nor Mortensen would identify the plane's pilot.

    Holt's friend, Paul Hogue, told the Deseret News that Holt was a trained pilot who had flown commercially.

    "The future can be taken from you so quickly and they had so much for their future," Hogue said. "They had future families and future wives and kids."

    According to Federal Aviation Administration records, the Cessna 172 was built in 1999 and owned by Diamond Flying LLC of St. George.

    Keliher said a cursory check of the plane's maintenance records turned up no major problems. She and representatives of Cessna and the company that built its engine inspected the aircraft after it was moved Sunday to a nearby hangar, she said.

    Trio rescued more than 15 hours after Idaho plane crash

    It will take months for her agency to examine the plane and pilot, and issue a final report, she said. The NTSB will issue a preliminary report on the crash in five days.

    "I'm now trying to get ahold of family members (of the four), and will finish the inspection of the aircraft Monday," Keliher said Sunday evening. "I hope to wrap up the on-scene investigation and leave Tuesday."

    'Wonderful son'
    According to the National Weather Service, there were no severe weather conditions at the airport during the early on Saturday.

    The airport, which has been in operation at its current site for about 1 1/2 years, does not have a control tower. Pilots use an automated system to communicate with one another when landing or taking off.

    Hafen's family issued a statement describing him as a "wonderful son, brother and uncle" who loved to travel and who served a Mormon church mission to Oregon. He worked in the insurance business with his father.

    "The community is grieving together," Mortensen told the AP. "St. George is a tight-knit community, and some of the families involved have been in the area over 100 years. If you live in this area, you know someone who knows one of these men."

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    I really enjoy improving my life and want to find people who are interested in increasing their prosperity and learning about the law of attraction. How can I find similar minded people. All the people I know are poor-ish, unhappy, and have no desire for self-improvement. I feel like surrounding myself with more positive people would be helpful.

    Commercial airing of cooking oil ad stopped

    Sunday, May 27, 2012

    MANILA -- The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) has ordered Southeast Asia Foods Inc. (Safi), maker of Golden Fiesta Cooking Oil, to stop airing its commercial for containing "misleading claims."

    Safi may also face legal and administrative sanctions for the violation, the order said.

    The FDA?s order resulted from a complaint of San Pablo Manufacturing Corp. that Golden Fiesta?s commercials made unfounded claims -- may be re-used for frying food for seven times without affecting the product?s quality, color, or appearance; and 50 percent less saturated than regular oil.

    As such, Safi was directed "under pain of legal and/or administrative sanctions, to immediately cease and desist from further airing the same violative advertisement."

    FDA, in its resolution, also ordered Safi, pursuant to Section 2, Article 7, Book 3 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 9711, to reply or comment within a non-extendible period of 10 days from receipt of the order "as to why no further administrative or legal action should be taken against you and your establishment for the aforesaid violation."

    Suzette H. Lazo, acting director IV of FDA, said her office conducted an evaluation of the subject of the complaint and was confirmed to be in violation of the said provision that stated, "no claim in the advertisement, promotion, and sponsorship, and other marketing activities shall be made other than those contained in the approved label or packaging of the health product, or as duly approved by the FDA."

    SPMC belongs to the government sequestered CIIF-Oil Mills Group and is the maker of market leader Minola Cooking Oil.

    With the development, advertising practitioners in the edible oil industry urged the Advertising Board to scrutinize further the claims of advertisers before approving their advertisements to protect the Filipino consumers from "ridiculous claims" and uphold the "truth in advertising."

    Dr. Guia Sison, an expert in internal medicine and occupational medicine, said that at the most, cooking oil can be used for up to three times only as repeated heating will cause the oil to produce rancid taste, and release the cancer-causing Polyaromatic hydrocarbon. It will also eliminate the Vitamin fortification in the product, which negates the objective of the law on vitamin fortification. (PNA)

    Knicks give coach Mike Woodson multiyear extension

    (AP) ? One playoff victory was good enough for Mike Woodson to return as New York Knicks coach ? even with Phil Jackson lurking as a potential candidate.

    Woodson knows more will be asked of him now.

    "I know expectations are high and they should be high," Woodson said during a conference call, "and I'm looking forward to the challenge."

    The Knicks removed the interim tag Friday and announced they had given Woodson a multiyear contract extension, rewarding him for a terrific finish to what had been a turbulent season.

    Woodson led the Knicks to an 18-6 record after replacing Mike D'Antoni on March 14. The Knicks lost 4-1 to Miami in the first round, snapping an NBA-record, 13-game postseason losing streak by winning Game 4 for their first victory since 2001.

    Still, there was speculation that Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan would open one of the league's biggest check books to go after Jackson, the 11-time champion coach and former Knicks player who sat out last season after retiring from the Los Angeles Lakers.

    Yet the Knicks never looked anywhere beyond Woodson, believing they can continue to improve with a full season of his coaching.

    "I think Woody earned the right to be the first person we talked to and turned out to be the only person we talked to because our discussions with him after the season really reflected why he was so successful during the season," general manager Glen Grunwald said.

    "We thought he was the right guy for this team at this time. Obviously, there's some great coaches out there that had we opened up the search would have been called, mainly Phil Jackson, who's the most successful coach in the NBA history, but we felt Woody was our guy and he showed it during the season and our discussions after the season."

    Woodson shrugged off the Jackson speculation.

    "Tremendous coach, I know his name's been mentioned a lot, but that was not my concern," Woodson said. "My concern at the time was coaching the New York Knicks the period that I had to coach and Mr. Dolan decided to bring me back."

    Neither the Knicks nor Woodson would disclose the terms of the deal.

    A first-round draft pick of the Knicks in 1980, Woodson returned to the team last summer as an assistant coach, providing a defensive-minded voice to D'Antoni's staff. Woodson's influence, combined with Defensive Player of the Year Tyson Chandler, moved the Knicks into the top half of the league's defensive rankings after they had been one the worst teams for years.

    D'Antoni resigned March 14 when the Knicks were 18-24 and in danger of missing the playoffs. Woodson won his first five games and was praised by players for holding them more accountable to playing defense. Most importantly, he got the most out of Carmelo Anthony, who was having a disappointing season in D'Antoni's offense but was April's Eastern Conference player of the month.

    "Mike took over the team under challenging circumstances and made it clear, starting on day one, that he was going to hold every player on our roster accountable," Dolan said in a statement. "We saw a significant improvement since Mike took over and believe our team will only keep improving under Mike's direction."

    Woodson denied recent reports that he had replaced agent Joe Glass under pressure from Dolan to avoid having to work again with former coach Larry Brown's representation. Woodson confirmed he switched to CAA, but said it was his choice, and that agent Terry Prince had worked on his contract.

    Anthony, Chandler and fellow star Amare Stoudemire had all backed Woodson's return when the season ended. And his chances of improving returned when the Knicks removed the interim tag from Grunwald, his former college teammate at Indiana, late in the regular season.

    Woodson previously spent six seasons as coach of the Atlanta Hawks, improving his win total in every season until they went 53-29 in 2009-10. But he wasn't retained after they were swept in the conference semifinals for the second straight year.

    He then sat out a year before interviewing last summer for openings in Detroit ? where he was an assistant on the Pistons' NBA championship team in 2004 ? Minnesota and Houston. He then was hired by the Knicks on Aug. 29.

    Woodson has a career 224-292 record as an NBA coach.

    (AP) ? Australia and South Africa will share hosting of a giant radio telescope made up of thousands of separate dishes and intended to help scientists figure out the make-up of the universe, the international consortium overseeing the project announced.

    South Africa led an African consortium that included Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia, and telescopes will be erected in all its partners. In South Africa, dishes will be added to a remote site in the arid Karoo desert where a smaller radio telescope project already is underway.

    South Africa and Australia, which partnered with New Zealand in bidding for the project, had competed fiercely. South Africa claimed victory Friday, saying it got two of the projects three major components.

    "We may feel slightly disappointed that we didn't get the whole thing. But I think one should emphasize that we did get most of it," said Justin Jonas, the chief South African scientist on the project. "Two-thirds of the biggest instrument in the world is still the biggest instrument in the world."

    South Africa's science minister Naledi Pandor and scientists who had prepared the country's bid celebrated with an Africa-shaped cake at a news conference in South Africa's capital.

    "This marks a real turning point in Africa, where we are becoming a destination for science and engineering, and not just a place where there are resources and tourism opportunities," Jonas added.

    Australia also welcomed the split decision.

    "It is an outstanding result for the Australia-New Zealand bid after many years of preparation and an intensive international process," said Sen. Chris Evans, Australia's science minister.

    The Square Kilometer Array telescope will be 50 times more sensitive and scan the sky 10,000 times faster than any existing telescope. It requires huge open spaces with very few humans.

    John Womersley, chair of the consortium's board, said the telescope will help scientists answer key questions: "Where do we come from? Where are we going? What is this universe we live in?"

    "We don't understand what 96 percent of our universe is made of," he said.

    The organization said dividing construction of the telescope will "maximize on investments already made by both Australia and South Africa."

    Womersley said that splitting construction between the two nations will likely add around 10 percent to the ?350 million ($439 million) cost of the first phase of building the giant telescope. But he said there would be a payoff for astronomers.

    "It delivers more science in phase one. The capabilities of this instrument are greater than the original design," Womersley said.

    Beckham's England career to be honored at Wembley

    By ROB HARRIS

    AP Sports Writer

    Associated Press Sports

    updated 3:45 p.m. ET May 24, 2012

    LONDON (AP) -David Beckham's England career will be honored at the team's final European Championship warmup match, with the former captain receiving an award from the continent's governing body for players who have at least 100 international appearances.

    The 37-year-old Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder, who made the last of his 115 appearances for England in 2009, will receive a commemorative cap and medal at halftime of the June 2 exhibition against Belgium at Wembley, the English Football Association told The Associated Press.

    The award will also be presented to 1966 World Cup-winning forward Bobby Charlton, who played 106 times for England, and retired goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who made a record 125 appearances.

    Family members of 1966 World Cup captain Bobby Moore and Billy Wright, a defender in the 1940s and `50s, will receive the award from FA chairman David Bernstein.

    The ceremony was introduced by Michel Platini, the president of the Union of European Football Associations, to celebrate players who have played in at least 100 national team games.

    Despite never winning any honors with England, Beckham established himself as the biggest star English soccer has produced.

    "Throughout my career I've been pretty successful," Beckham said last week. "I've played for some pretty big teams. I've played for my country quite a few times and for managers without sentiment ... I'm very proud of the fact and I have always found it an honor that people want to buy my shirt, that fans turn up to watch the team I am playing in or to see myself. I've always found that a huge honor."

    After beginning his career at Manchester United in 1992, Beckham made his England debut against Moldova in September 1996.

    The low point of his international career came at his first World Cup, in 1998, when he was sent off for petulantly kicking out at Argentine midfielder Diego Simeone. Some England fans hung effigies of Beckham after the second-round loss.

    Beckham managed to bounce back and his injury-time goal on a free kick against Greece clinched a World Cup berth. He then captained the team at the 2002 World Cup under coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

    Beckham tearfully relinquished the England captaincy after the 2006 tournament, when England reached the quarterfinals for the second straight time. He was then dropped from the squad by new coach Steve McClaren, but was restored in the ultimately unsuccessful 2008 European Championship qualifying campaign.

    Beckham's international career survived initially in 2010 World Cup qualifying under McClaren's replacement, Fabio Capello, who coached him at Real Madrid.

    But Beckham was injured three months before the World Cup in South Africa and went only in a non-playing role as an unofficial coach.

    Despite returning to fitness after the tournament, Beckham was dismissed by Capello as being too old for a role in team, meaning that his appearance as a second-half substitute against Belarus in October 2009 earned him his 115th and last international cap.

    Beckham's focus now was securing a spot in Britain's soccer team at the London Olympics.

    He has been included in coach Stuart Pearce's 80-man shortlist that will be whittled down to 18 shortly to form Britain's first Olympic squad since 1960. If chosen, he would be one of the three players over age 23 allowed on each roster.

    PST: Let?s talk about the elephant in the MLS room. It?s David Beckham?s treatment by the men in the middle. And possibly by the league, where the question of ?double-standard? may be getting a big test.

    (AP) ? Going back to what he does best, David Cronenberg takes a visceral day-trip inside the cushioned limousine of a tycoon who cares little for the bloody, populist riots that explode outside his car in "Cosmopolis."

    All the young multi-billionaire Eric Packer ? played by a steely-eyed Robert Pattinson ? wants is a haircut.

    Packer spends the entire film, which premiered Friday in Cannes, crossing town to get one but is waylaid when the U.S. president's visit to the city causes traffic chaos. Yet when he eventually makes it to the barber, his haircut is interrupted and he leaves in futility, half-shaven.

    For Cronenberg, a master of provocation, the significance of this probably goes beyond a debate on the quality of haircuts at barber shops ? though judging by Pattinson's slick red-carpet hair, it is probable he opted for a stylist.

    In the surreal "Cosmopolis," ? full of long, introspective dialogue ? the portrayal of cold, moneyed arrogance is a warning against the perceived greed of current times.

    The oversexed, 28-year-old Packer has made his billions as an asset manager in a dystopian Manhattan and is so self-obsessed he barely registers the violent protests against capitalism around him. The only time Packer seems worried is after a doctor tells him, in one of the movie's many comic moments, that he has an "asymmetrical prostate" ? with prostate-gazing an obvious synonym for navel-gazing.

    Pattison ? who is most famous for playing a vampire in the teen "Twilight" series ? said he was nervous about the complex role.

    "I spent two weeks in my hotel room worrying," he said, joking that "actors aren't meant to be intelligent."

    But the ego and cynicism stretch beyond his character and infect the whole landscape.

    The film starts with a quote: "a rat becomes the unit of currency," that turns out to be true for the movie's characters, who all seem to be part of a individualistic "rat race" each struggling to get his or her 15 minutes of fame.

    The last scene sees a claustrophobic 22-minute face-off between Packer and a crazed man trying to assassinate him, played with standout brilliance by Paul Giamatti. The two talk on a couch, separated by a screen that Cronenberg said conjures up images of a Catholic confessional, exploring how selfish the world is.

    Pattinson, whose past public appearances have caused mobs of teens to swoon, said he identified with the role, joking that he sometimes thinks "people are trying to kill me."

    The film was based on a 2003 book by Don DeLillo, who was at the Cannes Film Festival alongside Cronenberg and said the film's dialogue was directly lifted from the novel. Still, at many points, the drawn-out dialogue seemed to have more elements of a play and the movie dragged.

    At the post-screening press conference, Cronenberg justified with aplomb the film's introspective qualities. "For me, the essence of cinema is a person, a face, speaking."

    Pattinson said he loves Cronenberg's other films ? which include the 2011 "A Dangerous Method" ? but the Canadian director said "I always had the feeling he'd never seen any of my movies."

    The film has drawn inevitable comparisons to current financial woes and the timeless themes of greed vs. poverty and populist anger, but Cronenberg said any link to current affairs was accidental. Still, the shooting did coincide with global anti-capitalist protests that began in late 2011.

    "(After filming) in the evenings, to read about the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, it seemed at points that we were working more on a documentary," he said.

    DeLillo said he wrote "Cosmopolis" after being struck by the massive gap between rich and poor in Manhattan.

    "New York City streets at the turn of the century seemed suddenly filled up with white stretch limousines," he said.

    People come to Cannes to dream, and this gritty, cynical film was seen by some Cannes revelers as a downer. So where was the hope?

    "The hope is embodied in the fact that the movie got made in the first place," Cronenberg said with a dry smile. "It's not an easy movie to get financed. In Hollywood, $200 million is spent on movies that are extremely conservative, not-edgy. The hope is in the art."
