...will come to a bouncing landing swaddled in air bags. The esa mission, which launched last week, was the first off the blocks, but it is the U.S. missions, scheduled for lift-off on Sunday, June 8, and Wednesday, June 25, that are likely to generate the most buzz - and not just because NASA has had 45 years to master the media spin cycle. What will make these expeditions stand out is that each will set loose on the Martian surface a remote-controlled rover even smarter and more photogenic than the miniature robot that captured the world's attention...
...Azur's Croisette. Inside the Grand Palace, directors had their minds on apocalypse: in the Palme d'Or winner, Gus Van Sant's Elephant, an ordinary day in an Oregon high school erupts into massacre, Columbine-style. In Lars von Trier's Dogville, which had all the early buzz but left without any prizes, a beautiful stranger (Nicole Kidman) takes a load of abuse in a Colorado town, then, like an Old Testament God in an I'm-sick-of-Sodom mood, has everyone gunned down. Brazilian director Hector Babenco ended his Carandiru with the slaughter of innocents...
...animated feature, about an old woman who battles the French Mafia to retrieve her kidnapped godson, possessed what other Cannes entries lacked: a vivid visual imagination, a generous wit, an understanding of the human impulse not just to survive but to save others.

But another Danish auteur did have reason to be there and be pleased: Christoffer Boe, director of Reconstruction, which won the Camera d'Or for best first feature...
...those bags?not to mention Murakami's fame?have gone supernova. After whipping up a hive's worth of buzz at the Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris last fall, and receiving rhapsodic reviews from the likes of Vogue and Women's Wear Daily, the art world's favorite son has suddenly found himself fashion's "It" boy, too. Though Murakami's bags have been on sale since spring, demand continues to humiliate supply, with shipments selling out before they hit showroom floors. Waiting lists in stores from San Francisco to Berlin still number in the thousands, and People magazine...
...Then we had "Coupling," which has already begun to generate buzz as NBC's Next Great Comedy Hope, not a little of said buzz manufactured by NBC. Say this for it: it sure looks a lost like NBC's Last Great Comedy Hope. It's about six young singles in the big city, looking for love, who've had complicated sexual histories with each other. "Coupling" is actually a remake of a British series that's become a cult sensation, though, so it's not a shameless clone of "Friends" if you let the Brits clone it first! Another reason...
