Memorial Day Movies, Cannes, Tom Cruise & Pulp Fiction

All the Memorial Day weekend links you could ever want!

Its almost Memorial Day weekend, and you know what that means: you have extra time for reading articles online! (Also, I guess, it marks the unofficial start of summer.) (Also it means the actual meaning of Memorial Day.) We have a lot to keep you busy: Cannes coverage, the 20th anniversary of Pulp Fiction, a Memorial Day movie list, and more! Lets get started.

The 67th annual Cannes Film Festival comes to an end on May 25th. A number of film writers have been documenting the experience for those of us left at home, so Ill point you in the direction of a few: The Dissolves "Postcards from Cannes" series, Richard Lawsons review for Vanity Fair of 25-year-old Qu b cois director Xavier Dolans Mommy, all of Varietys coverage, Oliver Lytteltons review of Ryan Goslings directorial debut Lost River for The Playlist (which says the film "Has seemingly already passed into Croisette legend as a Southland Tales-style disaster"), and -- for those of you who might just want to listen -- here is Xan Brooks on All Things Considered talking about his favorite movies and festival bombs.

At Cannes no one is referring to Lost River as Lost River. Its all "Have you seen the Gosling?"

"In 2001, his worst-case scenario materialized. A competitor supplied the Tampa police with a face-recognition system; officers covertly deployed it on fans attending Super Bowl XXXV. The police scanned tens of thousands of fans without their awareness, identifying a handful of petty criminals, but no one was detained." Dr. Joseph Atick, a pioneer of facial-recognition systems, now cautions against the exploitation of face recognition to identify ordinary and unwitting citizens.

Spike TV recently put together an all-star comedy tribute to Don Rickles, which will air on the channel on May 28. CANT WAIT? Watch a sneak peek, featuring Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Tracy Morgan!

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphias Charlie Day gave a commencement speech at his alma mater, Merrimack College, last weekend.

Instead, let's recognize that the talk about forgetting and disappearing is really concern about the concept of obscurity in the protection of our personal information."

Here is Wired on why enhancing obscurity might be a better way.
