Cinema itself is an unstable and seductive marriage of art and commerce, aesthetics and entrepreneurialism. Cannes and Hollywood, though they each claim to represent different outlooks – the former positions itself against the crass globalism of the latter, while the latter derides the elitism of the former – need each other: Hollywood gives Cannes star power and global reach; Cannes gives Hollywood class and an intellectual fillip.


No serious filmmaker would deny its power. Not Quentin Tarantino, whose Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or in 1994. For myself, I love Cannes because it's a place where Wong Kar-Wai is bigger than Steven Spielberg."in 2003, a French critic, enraged at Vincent Gallo's slow and self-consciously pornographic The Brown Bunny, yelled at the screen: "I've got a bigger c--k than yours!"

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, good friends

"Stewart, who is dating Michael Angarano, and Robert Pattinson who plays Edward Cullen in the movie series don't pass up too many opportunities to hang out together.
Stewart and Pattinson and the whole cast of New Moon spent the evening together at Blue Water Cafe and Raw Bar on May 8. Even though the whole cast was there, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart emanated that special chemistry they're so well known for.
"Rob and Kristen took a bunch of cigarette breaks together", said an eyewitness. "They were laughing and telling jokes as they stood with their backs to everyone."

Rob Pattinson, 23, and Kristen Stewart, 19, even left the party together at 3am by limo.The two were photographed with their legs intertwined having a grand old time.

Even though they seem to enjoy each other's time, most insiders don't think the two are involved romantically. Although it would make sense to millions of movie-goers worldwide who enjoyed the chemistry they created by playing Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, they are just friends according to those who should know.

"They're really good friends," Peter Facinelli who plays Dr. Cullen said. "But Kristen has a boyfriend, and Rob knows it and I think he respects that."

But Facinelli understands why people might conclude the duo could be a couple off-screen as well.
"Everyone wants them to end up together," he said. "They're Edward and Bella, and their chemistry on the screen is so great. They make it seem like they should be in love forever."

Ang Lee in Cannes

"Taking Woodstock", Lee's Cannes Film Festival entry, presents a loving glimpse of the behind-the-scenes hijinks that resulted in the gloriously sloppy music fest.

Woodstock "has a symbolic meaning to me. It's the innocence of a young generation departing from the old establishment and trying to find a more refreshing way, more fair way, to live with everybody else," Lee said Saturday before the Cannes premiere of "Taking Woodstock". "It was dirty, filthy. It was actually a mess," said Lee, a best-director Academy Award winner for "Brokeback Mountain."

Emile Hirsch and his girlfriend Brianna Domont."Taking Woodstock" also features Emile Hirsch, Liev Schreiber, Imelda Staunton and Henry Goodman.

It's Lee's lightest film since the mid-1990s, when he made the romances "Sense and Sensibility," "Eat Drink Man Woman" and "The Wedding Banquet."

The project landed on Lee's desk by chance while he was promoting his last film, the dark World War II-era spy thriller "Lust, Caution." Tiber was the guest following Lee on a San Francisco TV talk show. The two talked a bit and Tiber gave Lee a copy of his book.

"I was yearning to do a comedy-slash-drama again without cynicism," Lee said. "It took me a long way to get there. I thought after 13 years, I sort of earned the right to do it, just be relaxed, be happy and at peace with myself and everybody else."

Love has no bounds

"Go ahead and roll your eyes, but know this: [SPOILER] They don't end up together. In fact, Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) spends a good chunk of (500) Days of Summer being slowly destroyed by Summer (Zooey Deschanel). It's the least-romantic romantic comedy of the summer, and it works precisely because it refutes everything romantic movies stand for".
Source: www.esquire.comTom: What happens when you fall in love?
Summer: You believe in that?
Tom: It's love, it's not Santa Claus.

-I always liked you.
- You did?
- But then I thought: "You don't flirt with your doctoral adviser's daughter."
- Especially when your adviser's crazy?
- Especially then.
-How embarrassing is it if I say last night was wonderful?
-It's only embarrassing if I don't agree.
("Proof", 2005).

"We have this idea of what love is, and everyone says, "Love has no bounds." And we all subscribe to that idea. And you can read it in cards, you know, like, it's become such a cliché that we don't really believe that, because when it comes really down to "love has no bounds", we don't buy it. We all stay within a form, I'm speaking for myself. I stay within a form of, like, is that OK to do or is that OK to do?" -Jake Gyllenhaal.

"Transformers beauty Megan Fox is attracted to women as well as men - but would never consider dating another bisexual female because she wouldn't want a male's "dirty" leftovers.She tells Esquire magazine, "I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."

Legendary film critic Roger Ebert is joined by friend and director Martin Scorsese in a dedication ceremony to rename the American Pavilion's press room in Cannes The Roger Ebert Conference Center.

"On whether the film industry is at a crisis point:
I'm always a little more on the negative side of things, but there has been a crisis for many years now. And whatever we get to do, with your help, and the help of the people who own the rights to these films, is just maybe scratching the surface, ultimately. A lot will be lost. One has to think of history in the past 3,000 years, how much literature was lost. So whatever we can do now, we're going to save something". -Martin Scorsese Press Conference.
