Great to see Steam in the official Arch repos again
Non-Debian distributions should use the new .tar.gz: http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/a..._latest.tar.gz
Great to see Steam in the official Arch repos again
Thanks for the answer.
Yesterday I opened up steam, saw CS:Source was having a sale, and bought it, and it got me thinking: wouldn't it be nice if there was a site that listed promotions on linux games? It could list the HiB while they were running, and steam sales, and whatnot. That way you could have a central place to follow for all those things.
What about this?
Seconded! Especially free driver stacks.
Maybe it is time to emerge a steam-client-meta on my system besides my Desura. I still got that Steam account around from L4D1 and 2 on Windows. Hadn't had much time for gaming lately but anyway. One more Linux client install in their logs and statistics.
I am more interested if there are big differences between different distro's.
I would like opensource drivers but at the moment for gaming, they are not a real option.
Serious Sam 3 is hard enough on my pc on Linux and w7, with the proprietary drivers.

After reading lots of comments here I decided to give these tires a try. Either these people say they drive aggressive and do not or they have never tried other tires. Granted these do hold up well in wet conditions but dry wow they slide out all the time. Almost every corner they break loose when cornering hard. Needless to say price point, they probably are a decent buy. However if you want/need traction pursue another tire.

I have put about 10,000 km on tires, I love them, braking ability in wet or dry conditions are exceptional, best I ever had. I read about the noise but I don't hear it in my Lexus. Comfort could be better but I can live with it because of exceptional braking and handling. I do not drive in snow because I have snow tires. My son also bought the same tires and he also states they are the best he has ever owned, although he can definitely say they are noisy on his Z-24. These tires have saved me from 2 accidents already.

It rides like a freight train but out performs almost everything I run against, including big power sport bikes such as my ZX10. I obviously install nothing on this car for comfort, performance and handling of this tire for a street legal tire is phenomenal, I don't drive it in the snow so no comment there, wet and dry performance however is excellent. I can't hear road noise over my engine and exhaust as it sits directly behind me but coasting down the interstate with engine off I hear the wind over the tires so I'd say they are good in the noise area as well. Treadwear, well it's a high performance tire, you want an extended mile tire, don't buy a performance tire. I push my car to it's absolute limits and these tires have yet to let me down.

About Pitch Perfect
A college student finds herself drawn into the world of competitive a cappella singing in this Glee-meets-Mean Girls comedy. Beca (Anna Kendrick) has no interest in studying and would rather move to Los Angeles to try to make it as a DJ. But her father insists that she enrol for one year at the college where he teaches. She is initially reluctant to participate in student life but eventually she joins The Bellas, a down-on-their-luck a cappella group led by the bubbly, highly strung Aubrey (Anna Camp) who has many rules for how the group should perform. But Beca's arrival, along with that of other new members like smart-mouthed Amy (Rebel Wilson), promises to change the Bella's fortunes for good.

Astros GM Jeff Luhnow has emphasized on-base percentage like almost no other baseball executive, and Choo had a .423 on-base percentage in 2013, second only to Reds teammate Joey Votto in the National League. Choo hit .285 with 21 home runs, 107 runs and 20 stolen bases, but his most marketable skills is his ability to get on base.A Houston signing of Choo would be somewhat reminiscent of the Nationals' surprise deal for Jayson Werth three years ago, back when Washington was a cellar dweller. The Nationals received a lot of criticism for the move at the time due to the stunning $126 million, seven-year price tag for a player who had made just one All-Star team, but Werth brough credibility and leadership at a time the team needed it.Choo established himself this past season as one of the league's top leadoff hitters, as the Reds' gambit paid off big. He could be seen as a comparable player to Werth, though he apparently will seek to top Werth's $126 million, as he has shown he can lead off ahead of the contract (Werth did so later) and agent Scott Boras will try to make the case he should benefit from baseball's expanding revenues three years later.Many folks originally scoffed at the idea of a nine-figure deal for Choo -- he'd be the first player never to make an All-Star team to sign such a deal -- but Hunter Pence's $90-million, five-year deal back with his old Giants club before even entering the market seems to suggest Choo has a very good chance to top $100 million. He is viewed as the player likely to receive the third highest total contract on the free agent market, beyond Robinson Cano and Ellsbury.Luhnow declined to discuss Choo as he technically remains a Red until the free-agent period begins in the days after the World Series, Speaking generally, however, Luhnow said the organizational philosophy is pointing in the direction of getting guys (who show patience) at the plate. Houston's minor-league teams all ranked in the top two or three in on-base percentage in their respective leagues.
At the major-league level, the Astros weren't nearly as patient. Obviously, we have a lot of free swingers, Luhnow noted. We're going to looking for any bats that are complementary.

Phoronix: Mac OS X 10.6 Brings Serious Performance Gains
While our focus at Phoronix is on testing hardware under Linux, we remain friendly and interested in other BSD and UNIX operating systems too, including Mac OS X . With the launch of Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" we have been particularly interested in it considering the technological advancements that have been made in this update thanks to their large focus on improving the performance of Mac OS X. With that said, we have spent all week working on a grand Mac OS X benchmarking showdown by comparing the performance of the retail build of Mac OS X 10.6.0 to the earlier Mac OS X 10.5.8 through a number of different quantitative tests. We firmly believe that as of right now these are the most detailed desktop performance numbers available concerning Snow Leopard, but we already have more figures on the way. We have performance numbers from not just one Mac computer, but two different setups. Here's to the first 60+ tests we ran!
Nice to read good work.

Great write up Micheal, FYI the OGL regessions are a "Doh" flub (grrr damn nda's). 10.6.1 should fix it.
I hope other systems will also be 64 bit? Btw. isn't there a mistake in OpenSSL test? My result is ten times better (Arch Linux) XD

"FYI the OGL regessions are a "Doh" flub (grrr damn nda's). 10.6.1 should fix it. "
realy there is no need to explain and 10.6.1 will have other regessions with or witout the OGL fix.
the regession is simpel OpenGL3.1 do not work on the same time on the same VGA with OpenCL!
future OpenGL versions mybe OpenGL 3,3 or 3,4 will fix this.
the Old OpenGL spezification do not cooperat with OpenCL on the same hartware.
Today if you want full OGL speed and full OpenCL speed you need 2 VGA carts. '

Makes me want to try a Mac.
"We were quite appalled with multiple tests exhibiting nearly 50% performance boosts over Mac OS X 10.5.8"
I don't think appalled means what you think it does
I have to agree. The performance improvement looks nice, but 64-bit Ubuntu should still kick its butt.

With more than 300 tasks in RTM, I regularly ask myself when I've added a specific task. Since I mainly use Smart Lists, I have added the following operator to every search-string: 'added before: tomorrow'.For example: list:Someday AND tag:business AND addedBefore:tomorrowIn the webapp, when I select a task in the Smart List, I always see the date added in the details-section of the task. This gives me more awareness and helps me to make choices on what to do.

Code Maverick
I have nearly 15 years experience of full stack .NET development since its inception that covers design, development, testing, analysis, debugging, deploying, and then some.
My current hobbies are:
Writing cleanly formatted and highly optimized code. Refactoring is one of my favorite things to do. There's nothing like beautiful, readable code that performs as well as it possibly can!
Trying to stay up-to-date on new technologies that seem to coming out at a rapid pace.
Of which, my current focus is trying to decide on which technologies are going to last the longest so I'm not re-writing code every 2 years.
On the back-end, I'm thinking ASP.NET vNext is going to shake some things up and be a great thing for years to come.
On the front-end, I'm leaning towards Telerik's DevCraft since they just released: Announcing the Telerik Kendo UI Q1 2015 Roadmap wherein they pledge:
"...commitment for the next release of the Kendo UI MVC wrappers is to stay in line with the ASP.NET vNext development and public Beta versions, and deliver official support for vNext and Visual Studio 2015 shortly after they are released officially by Microsoft...."
Not to mention, it's fast and light with AngularJS integration, Bootstrap support, mobile controls, and offline data solutions.
Stack Overflow and User Experience, of course this only when I get time at work, or if at home, when the kids are in bed and/or the wife "allows" me to =D

Avalaunch worked with us first to understand our objectives and our customer base. They were careful to ensure that the work they were doing not only resonated with our customers but also integrated with our other content and promotion efforts. After brainstorming some amazing ideas they handled both the content creation and the promotion of the content flawlessly. They allowed me to concentrate on other efforts as I knew I could rely on them to get the job done right. I've worked with Avalaunch at both of my last two jobs and would use them again in a heartbeat for content strategies to bolster our SEO efforts. Their content is always innovative and their reliability is second to none. If you need a content marketing strategy to boost your SEO, one that focuses on quality content that is not going to be affected every time Google changes it's algorithm, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Avalaunch (and in fact I have recommended them to other marketers numerous times).

This is the theory that I've been working on for several weeks. This theory uses only information that we've seen directly in the manga so far.
Madara wants to form the juubi and become the jinchuuriki of it to gain ultimate power. But, what power exactly? Nagato seemed to have one plan, but Obito has a completely different plan. Both these plans originated with Madara, so he must have lied to at least one of them. I think he lied to both. Let's review history by picking apart some major events and changes to the "plan" that we know about.
WARNING: There is a lot of text to read here. I've tried to break it up and hide parts of it. If you want a Tl;Dr summery, I added one at the bottom.
Madara's Original Plan
Nagato's Plan
Madara Meets Obito
Obito's Plan
Emergency Change of Plan: Kabuto
Madara's "Real" Plan
Tl;Dr - Summary
1) Tsukuyomi requires only one MS eye. Madara has two MS eyes, and has actually leveled them up to EMS and then Rinnegan. He has more eye power than the infinite tsukuyomi plan requires.
2) Infinite Tsukuyomi only requires Uchiha power. Madara has Uchiha AND Senju (Hashirama's wood release) power. Madara has more Senju power than the infinite tsukuyomi plan requires.
3) Madara clearly told two different plans to two different people (Nagato and Obito). Both of these only require half of his power.
4) Madara's "real" plan should use both his eyes (Susanoo), and should combine the spiritual/Uchiha energy with the physical/Senju energy, since he spent a lot of time and effort to gather these things.
5) Izanagi, the power of the sage to combine spiritual and physical energies, could be used to turn Madara's stabilized Susanoo into a gigantic monster with Juubi power. We know the Sage used this same creation power to create the Bijuu. Madara can use this power to create something new.
6) This theory uses only information we've learned in the manga and requires no new powers or other unexplained things. The only requirement is that you have to believe that Madara lied to Obito the same way Madara lied to Nagato. Since these two men were told different things by Madara, he already must have lied to at least one of them. I think he lied to both.
Questions, comments, corrections are all good.

Claire Danes poses in the press room at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jan. 13. / Jeff Vespa, WireImage
Talk about cyber spoiler.
The official Twitter account of the Golden Globes is posting the names of the winners - seconds before they're announced on TV.
Claire Danes's best dramatic actress trophy? That was listed online a full 49 seconds before Lea Michele announced it onstage.
Lena Dunham's award for comedy? That turned up just under 21 seconds ahead of Aziz Ansari's announcement.
Do they need to institute that 7 second-delay button on their Twitter feed, too?
UPDATE: The Globes tweeted that Ben Affleck snagged best director a full 2 minutes before Halle Berry opened the envelope.
Girls? Tweeted more than 3 minutes before Jay Leno spoke it.
Wow, Hugh Jackman's victory was tweeted more than 4 minutes before Jennifer Garner announced it.

A cadaver dog, working with FBI investigators in an abandoned field about a half hour's drive away from where Hoffa was last seen on July 30, 1975, "reacted to some scents" at the dig site Tuesday afternoon. Investigators said they were not sure what -- if anything -- the dog was reacting to.
Some bones had been found in the field, a former farm, but none were human bones, said Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard.
Earlier in the day, searchers turned up a "suspicious" slab at the dig site, but it is too soon to know if the cement is just the old foundation of a barn -- or Hoffa's concrete coffin.
The FBI were pointed to the field in Oakland Township by an ex-mobster Tony Zerilli, who was in prison at the time of Hoffa's disappearance but said he was told of Hoffa's fate after his release.
Zerilli said Hoffa, who was last seen at a restaurant in Bloomfield Township, was abducted, hit on the head with a shovel, buried in a shallow grave and covered in concrete on a property once owned by mob boss Jack Tocco.

Voiced by: | Scott Maslen (Actor in the movie) |
Grand Theft Auto series |
Claude Speed is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto 2.
Claude started his career as a simple thug, however he was soon hired by the major gangs that controlled Anywhere City. Claude secretly worked with all of them and in the end managed to kill all of their leaders, effectively becoming the true leader of the city's crime.
GTA 2 movie rendition
[show]Little history is known about the character from GTA 2; however, DMA Design had previously released a promotional movie for the game, which was also compiled into the opening cinematic of the game, depicting a live-action rendition of Claude Speed committing several criminal acts, similar in all Grand Theft Auto games. In the movie, Claude is seen performing jobs for several crime bosses, before being shot to death by an assassin sent by the Zaibatsu Corporation, whose van and merchandise were previously stolen by Claude. The movie redition of Claude Speed was portrayed by English actor and model Scott Maslen.
Claude Speed is an extremely rude character and apparently has no regret of the crimes he accomplishes. He will work for anyone who will give him the needed money and will be ready to fight even the Army to pursue his goals. He was seen in more than one occasion laughing once he successfully gained what he wanted and is particulary ferocious in killing people, and he was once seen spitting over the body of a person he killed. He also worked for various gangs at the same time, angering all of them but in the end he managed to kill all of their leaders, putting an end to their rule over the city. He is known to have used drugs and cigars and knows how to use a variety of weapons, from simple pistols to even rocket launchers.
The movie's version of Claude shares a few physical appearances with the Claude in the GTA III Era games, including his black jacket (made of cloth in GTA 2 and leather in GTA III, GTA San Andreas), t-shirt (white color in GTA 2 and black in GTA III, GTA San Andreas), long pants (black color in GTA 2 and dark khaki in GTA III, GTA San Andreas) and slicked hair. The movie version, however, was also depicted speaking and displaying an array of emotions, a characteristic not seen in either the GTA III or the GTA San Andreas versions. Claude may also bear some resemblance to Elvis Presley, as when he walks into the Elvis impersonators in the game, they will occasionally shout, "Hey man, it's the King!" and "I told you he was alive!"
In-game Naming
In GTA 2, Claude Speed's in-game name is simply given as a myriad of nicknames from nine bosses of seven gangs:
- "Gecko" by all three heads of The Zaibatsu Corporation (Trey Welsh, Red Valdez and Uno Carb)
- "Jumbo" by Elmo, head of the Loonies
- "Kosai" by Johnny Zoo, head of the Yakuza
- "Rooster" by Billy Bob Bean, head of the Rednecks
- "THC-303" by Dr. LaBrat, head of the Scientists
- "Comrade" by Jerkov, head of the Russian Mafia
- "Grasshopper" by Sunbeam, head of the Hare Krishna
- "Kiddo" or "Kid" by his unnamed friend.
Murders Committed by Speed
- Shady (killed under orders from Trey Welsh for giving Zaibatsu information to the police)
- Doctor Cubana (killed under orders from Trey Welsh to prevent him from leaking Zaibatsu secrets to the Yakuza)
- Johnny Zoo (killed in self-defense after discovering Claude's betrayal)
- Elmo (killed in self-defense after discovering Claude's betrayal)
- Trey Welsh (killed in self-defense after discovering Claude's betrayal)
- Fat Boy Jim (killed under orders from Billy Bob Bean)
- Flambo Cortez (killed under orders from Billy Bob Bean)
- Dr. LaBrat (killed in self-defense after discovering Claude's betrayal)
- Billy Bob Bean (killed in self-defense after discovering Claude's betrayal)
- Red Valdez (killed in self-defense after discovering Claude's betrayal)
- Jerkov (killed in self-defense after discovering Claude's betrayal)
- Sunbeam (killed in self-defense after discovering Claude's betrayal)
- Uno Carb (killed in self-defense after discovering Claude's betrayal)
- He, Bubba, Charles Jones, Wolfie Vilans, and Tommy Vercetti are the only five GTA protagonists to smoke cigarettes (although Tommy can only smoke if the player enters a cheat code on the PC version of GTA VC). Additionally, Claude Speed possesses an ability to burp or fart on command.
- At the end of the GTA 2 movie, Claude is killed when he is shot 3 times by a Zaibatsu assassin as he tries to open a car. It is unknown if this is canonical to the game, however.
- He is the only character in GTA 2 to feature an artwork.
- When Claude dies, you can see him having his arm in a sling.

Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar on Lysosomes and Endocytosis, Sunday, June 15, 2014 - Friday, June 20, 2014
Location: Proctor Academy, Andover, NH
Description:
The main goal of the Lysosomes and Endocytosis GRC is to foster the dissemination of current research results and the establishment of new research areas and new collaborations in the area of the cell biology of endocytosis, lysosomes, endosomes and related organelles. We hope that many of these new directions and collaborations will be directed toward the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of rare genetic diseases such as lysosomal storage disorders, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, Chediak-Higashi syndrome, Niemann Pick disease and tuberous sclerosis, among others.

2013 Lysosomal Disease Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar, Saturday, April 13, 2013 - Friday, April 19, 2013
Location: Lucca (Barga), Italy
Description: Conference goals: To support participation by junior investigators, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and new investigators who do not yet have individual and/or independent sources of funding to support their participation in such conferences. The goal is to have at least 40% of the participants at this meeting in this category and NIH funding will help ensure this level of participation. Indeed, at the 2011 inaugural meetings, fully one-third of the participants were graduate students/postdoctoral fellows/junior faculty. The selection of the meeting as host to a GRS will further enhance such participation by the next generation of leaders in the lysosomal disease research community. To further stimulate applications by investigators-in-training, a number of short talks will be chosen prior to the meeting based on abstract submissions, and moreover, a poster session, comprising nine short talks, will be chosen at the meeting on the basis of the posters which generate the most interest during the afternoon poster sessions. -

Location: Bethesda North Marriott, Bethesda, Maryland
Description: Jointly sponsored by the National Institute of Health's Office Rare Diseases Research, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Division of Gastroenterology Products, the goal of this workshop is to bring together those involved in research and investigational treatments for central nervous system aspects of inborn errors of metabolism, and to discuss ways to translate these therapies to clinical trials and beyond. -
Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders Annual Meeting, Saturday, August 29, 2009 - Wednesday, September 02, 2009
Location: Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA
Description: The rarity, uniqueness, variability, and the need for an individual approach to treatment make inborn errors of metabolism a very complicated subspecialty. As such, most geneticists do not know these disorders well and only very specialized metabolic centers deal with them. For the United States to remain preeminent in both clinical and research aspects of inborn errors of metabolism, it is critical that young physicians and scientists be attracted to and remain in this important field.

Venture for America fellows to venture to Cleveland
Blog Entry:
July 18, 2013 10:47 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
The New York Times
runs a
long profile
of the nonprofit
Venture for America
, which selects fellows to work in eight cities — including Cleveland — that aren't the usual magnets for young college graduates.
By August, 108 fellows will be working at 70 companies as part of the two-year program. Cities that are part of the program are Cleveland, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Providence, R.I.
The lead anecdote comes from Brentt Baltimore, a graduate of
Claremont McKenna College
in California who majored in economics and finance. Last year, he turned down a six-figure job at a Los Angeles area hedge fund and instead he took a $33,000-a-year position at Dan Gilbert's
Detroit Venture Partners
Part of his job there "is to scout potential investments and lure companies to Detroit," according to the story. "He has also started the nonprofit Startup Effect, which teaches local eighth-graders entrepreneurship principles."
Andrew Yang, 38, who started Venture for America in 2011, tells
The Times
, "Smart people should be building things. Instead, they become bankers and consultants. We need to do something about talent allocation that pulls our top minds toward these fields."
The story notes that Mr. Gilbert, founder of
Quicken Loans
and majority owner of the
Cleveland Cavaliers
, pledged $1.5 million to Venture for America.
"Getting people who were at the top of their class is not an opportunity we might have gotten if we just woke up one day and said we have job openings," he tells the newspaper.
This and that
Hey now!:
Frank Lavin, an ex-U.S. ambassador and former Commerce Department official, is
gaining some traction
for his Akron-based company,
Export Now
Businessweek.com says the firm "cuts through language barriers and red tape to help fellow Americans (and anyone else willing to pay him) to sell consumer goods to Chinese shoppers."
Since launching Export Now in 2010, Mr. Lavin's team "has handled customs clearance, trademark registration, order fulfillment, and other back-end tasks for more than 100 consumer brands, from Mack's earplugs, to Totes umbrellas, to Tabasco sauce," according to the story. "Everything Export Now handles is sold through Alibaba Group's massive Chinese e-commerce sites Taobao and Tmall."
Mr. Lavin also has a new deal with the National Football League to sell its official apparel and equipment.
The agreement "means Export Now will be handling the logistical headaches of getting NFL apparel and equipment from merchandise providers such as New Era, Nike and Wilson and ready for buyers in China to snap up online. Lavin says the new store will go live in September," Businessweek.com reports.
A little bumpy:
The merger of
airlines was a big deal for many airports, including
, where AirTran is the largest carrier. But as
Wall Street Journal
points out, the marriage so far has been a bit rocky.
"As the two airlines, which combined carry more domestic passengers than any other, have started splicing together their flight schedules this year, travelers say Southwest Airlines agents struggle with AirTran Airways tickets and vice versa, sometimes leaving passengers who have been delayed and need rebooking in the lurch," according to the story.
The Journal
reports that different prices and seat availability "sometimes show up for the same flight on Southwest's and AirTran's online sites. Buying early boarding privileges on Southwest doesn't get you early boarding on connecting AirTran flights. Frequent-flier credits remain separate and Southwest companion passes, awarded to top frequent fliers, can't be used on AirTran."
The two discount airlines face huge merger hurdles "largely because Southwest lacks a reservation system capable of handling many aspects of AirTran's business, such as international flights," the newspaper notes.
Instead of merging into one computer system, Southwest, for now, "has agents of both airlines trying to work two reservation systems on different windows of their computer screens so one airline can check in customers from the other,"
The Journal
Asset management:
Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at
Key Private Bank
in Cleveland, is one of the experts Reuters sought out for
this story
on Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's announcement that the central bank still expects to start scaling back its massive asset purchase program later this year.
As always, Mr. Bernanke "left open the option of changing that plan in either direction if the economic outlook shifted," Reuters notes. But for now, the plan is for the Fed to halt bond buying by mid-2014.
Mr. McCain had this to say about the plan to end the monetary policy that he calls
quantitative easing:
"I don't think this is a surprise, especially since we're seeing some evidence of some better economic statistics. Our concern is that we're seeing very aggressive estimates for the second half of the year, and growth may not be that robust after QE ends. Even though there will be some QE, just smaller amounts, we could be disappointed by the quality of growth."
One more time:
Another Beige Book report from the Federal Reserve, another
that the economy in the Cleveland district expanded at a "moderate pace."
Yesterday's report continued the pattern of the past couple years, in which the Beige Book — an anecdotal overview of the economy issued every six weeks — indicates things are getting better, but not substantially so. Here's how it describes the state of the Cleveland District:
Manufacturing orders and production were steady or higher. The momentum seen in residential construction since the beginning of the year has slowed, but activity remains above year-ago levels. Nonresidential builders experienced a rise in the number of inquiries and backlogs. Retail sales were lackluster during May, while new motor vehicle sales posted moderate gains on a year-over-year basis. Conventional and unconventional natural gas and oil production was stable, and drilling has declined since the start of the year. … Hiring picked up in manufacturing and residential construction. Staffing firm representatives reported that the number of job openings and placements was fairly steady, with vacancies found primarily in health care and manufacturing. Wage pressures remain contained.

A review of Grace and Frankie, starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen, and Sam Waterston.
"Cosmopolis" is a flawlessly directed film about enigmatic people who speak in morose epigrams about vague universal principles they show no sign of understanding. Its characters are bloodless, their speech monotone. If there are people like this, I hope David Cronenberg's film is as close as I ever get to them. You couldn't pay me to see it again.
The movie stars Robert Pattinson, as Eric Packer, a loathsome billionaire monster, a young master of Wall Street who seems to perceive no connection between his wealth and its results in the world. He has sex several times in the film and reveals less genuine passion than during a prostate examination. During the course of a day, his fortune seems to be melting away, hemorrhaging millions a minute, but c'est la vie. He has recently married a rich woman who assures him she can help him, and he regards her with the detachment of an incurious insect.
The movie is based on a novel by Don DeLillo, which I read and rather admired. It's said to be loosely inspired by James Joyce's Ulysses. Very loosely. Yes, it involves the hero's journey across a city during a single day, and yes, it hears several vernaculars. But the film and the novel both lack any trace of Joyce's humor and rich humanity. Here is a stark, forbidding portrait of the damned in a hell of their making.
As the film opens, Packer stands on the sidewalk in front of what is possibly his office tower and states without emotion, "We need a haircut." As Pattinson plays Packer, he states everything without emotion. All of the criticisms you may have heard or held about Pattinson's performances as the vampire Edward in the "Twilight" (2008) films only serve to underline that he is perfectly cast as Packer.
He enters his improbably long white stretch limousine, lengthy enough for a Mafia wedding, and sets off across Manhattan to his usual barbershop. It is not a good day for this journey. The city is experiencing gridlock cubed, because of a presidential motorcade, a rap star's funeral and anarchist riots. Packer doesn't care, and he, and we, will spend from morning to night mostly inside the limousine.
But not entirely. Traffic is moving so slowly that he finds time to have both breakfast and lunch with his new wife, Elise (Sarah Gadon). One of the mysteries of the novel is how he inexplicably encounters her along the way. He welcomes inside the limo his mistress, Didi (Juliette Binoche); two consultants (Jay Baruchel and Philip Nozuka), his chief theoretician, Vija (Samantha Morton), and his doctor, who not only administers the prostate exam during his conference with Vija, but also uses the limo's built-in technology to conduct sonar exams. There is also a hotel suite tryst with his beautiful security guard, who teases him with a 100,000-volt taser that may remind you of Goldfinger's laser beam. "Hit me with it," Packer asks her. "I want to experience it."
The limo is a command center with touch-screen displays that have the world's financial transactions rattling past. One of Cronenberg's achievements here is to shoot so many scenes inside this vehicle without ever seeming crowded, cramped or limited. The limo is of course bulletproof and so on, but there's a dicey moment when anarchists surround it and begin to rock it back and forth. Packer doesn't deign to acknowledge them. Not so easily ignored is a man who smashes a pie in his face as he arrives at last at the barbershop.
The final act involves a nutty little man named Benno Levin (Paul Giamatti), who opens fire on him from a warehouse in the district where limos go to spend the night. How did he know Packer would be there? How did Packer know how to find him in the warehouse? I knew better than to ask, as they conduct the film's deepest, most philosophical and impenetrable conversation.
I said "Cosmopolis" is flawlessly directed. Yes, it is. I can't easily imagine a better screen version of the DeLillo novel, although I don't much want to imagine one at all. David Cronenberg is a master filmmaker, whose films sometimes fail to reverberate with me, but whose genius cannot be denied. There is a coldness and abstraction in much of his work, a heartlessness. He touched me deeply in films like "Eastern Promises," "The Fly," "The Dead Zone" and even the pain-soaked "Crash." Then there are films like this. Can one say Don DeLillo found not only the ideal but perhaps the only director for his novel.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...
