''When you travel, your first discovery is that you do not exist,'' Elizabeth Hardwick observed in her book ''Sleepless Nights.'' That sense of acute isolation while in transit is woven into the exhilarated, brooding tango music seeping through the soundtrack of Wong Kar-Wai's powerfully moody film ''Happy Together.'' The movie, which won Mr. Wong the best director prize this year at Cannes, follows a young gay couple from Hong Kong to Buenos Aires, where they foolishly imagine they can salvage their stormy relationship by starting over in a new place. No sooner do they arrive than they quarrel and separate. As the movie, narrated by Lai Yiu-Fai (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai), the more introspective of the two, follows Lai around the city, the cacophonous urbanity that in other films by … [Read more...] about FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW; Renewable Love, and Other Fallacies of Youth

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are holding steady Wednesday as Wall Street bides its time until the Federal Reserve’s announcement in the afternoon about whether it will tighten the screws further on the economy. The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged in morning trading. It’s coming off its first back-to-back gain in two weeks, before the second- and third-largest U.S. bank failures in history threw the industry into turmoil. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was virtually flat at 32,561 points, as of 10:20 a.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was also basically unchanged. Markets are waiting for the Fed, which is stuck with a difficult decision: whether to keep hiking interest rates to drive down inflation or to ease off the increases given the pain it’s already caused for banks, which could drag down the rest of the economy. A few weeks ago, much of Wall Street was convinced … [Read more...] about Wall Street holds steady ahead of Fed decision on rates

DAVID Koresh, the delusional leader of The Branch cult, brainwashed his victims into believing the apocalypse was about to destroy earth. His "teachings" and "church" ultimately led to the massacre of 76 cult members, including 25 children and two pregnant women and four ATF agents. Who was David Koresh?

INDIE legends The Kooks have won the internet after responding to a viral TikTok cover of their biggest hit in the best way. The group, who shot to fame in 2006 with their song Naive, edited themselves into a clip of musician and Kooks fan Calum Bowie performing their song on a rainy day in Edinburgh. The original video saw Calum, with an acoustic guitar in hand, gratefully receiving a scrunched up £20 from a passerby who was impressed by his version of the song. He repeatedly told the kind person that he wasn't actually busking and that they didn't need to give him anything, but the fan wouldn't take no for an answer. Getting the note to Calum, who was stood above street level, proved tricky, and it took numerous attempts before he caught the money. He shared his appreciation by launching back into the song with a big smile on his face.
