Five Favorite Films with Moonrise Kingdom's Jared Gilman

It's been quite the few weeks for Jared Gilman. Just 13 years old, the star of Wes Anderson's latest Moonrise Kingdom has recently returned from Cannes, where the movie opened the festival to great acclaim, and now finds himself on a press tour as the film is breaking limited release box-office records and drawing some of the best reviews of the director's career.

The praise for Moonrise Kingdom is in no small part due to the performances -- both screen debuts -- of Gilman and his co-star Kara Hayward, who play Sam and Suzy, two smitten and rebellious 12-year-olds who make a break from their families and set out on an adventure both magical and bittersweet. Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton and Bruce Willis also star, alongside Anderson's signature style, of course, which has never been used to more precise emotional effect.

We sat down with Gilman recently for a chat about the film and working with Wes Anderson -- which sounds great and all, but what was even more impressive was that he learned how to tie his first tie from Bill Murray. Read on for more on that, but first, here are his five favorite films.

Moon

(Duncan Jones, 2009; 89% Tomatometer)

I just really loved Sam Rockwell's performance. I really liked the twist, and the overall story -- I didn't really get bored with it, concerning the plot. I really liked that.

Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn, 2011; 94% Tomatometer)

I really liked Drive because of the cinematography, and Ryan Gosling's performance. He was very quiet, and yet you kind of had an idea of what was going on through his head. That was all really great.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly -- again, the tension that was built in some of the scenes was really great, how you didn't really need a lot of dialogue and stuff. I never really got bored of the movie, considering its length.

Have you seen For a Few Dollars More? That's my favorite of them.

I have not.

There's this great shootout choreographed to the chimes of a music box, it's fantastic.

Oh, I'll have to see that.

The Matrix

(Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski, 1999; 87% Tomatometer)

The Matrix, 'cause it's just like a real -- it's a great action movie.

Kick-Ass

(Matthew Vaughn, 2010; 76% Tomatometer)

Kick-Ass, again, just a great movie that I had a lot of fun with when I watched it.

Were you allowed to watch Kick-Ass? That came out like three years ago.

[Laughs.] I didn't watch it when it immediately came out; I had to wait.

Next, we chat with Gilman about his debut performance in Moonrise Kingdom, working with Wes Anderson, and getting some essential life training from Bill Murray.

Men In Black 3 Review: Protecting The Galaxy On IOS And Android

Posted: 01 Jun 2012 08:24 AM PDT

Barring another dominant performance from The Avengers, the top movie this weekend should be Men in Black 3 (sorry, Chernobyl Diaries), the big-budget sequel starring Will Smith and a whole bunch of computer-generated aliens. To capitalize on this potential success, Gameloft has a Men in Black 3 video game for iOS and Android. Even better, it's free. Just don't go into this title expecting to run around blasting bad guys.

what is chapter 13 bankruptcy confirmation

Bankruptcy confirmation is a requirement of the U.S. Bankruptcy code that applies to debtors involved in Chapter 13. Often referred to as 'reorganization bankruptcy' Chapter 13 requires debtors to remit payments via the Trustee in effort to pay off delinquent debts.

The purpose of bankruptcy confirmation is to ensure Chapter 13 payments comply with new laws set forth in the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA). Once personal bankruptcy petitions are filed through the court, debtors are required to submit their proposed payment plan to the court for approval.

Petitioners attend a 341 creditor meeting which provides opportunity to meet face-to-face with creditors. Creditors can elect to reduce outstanding balances, remove penalties or late fees, or lower interest rates. Once debtors and creditors agree upon owed debt amounts they appear in court to present the debt refinance plan.

Once filed, debtors must begin remitting payments to the Trustee within 30 days. This must occur whether the payment plan is approved or not. Payments are remitted to the court on a monthly or bi-monthly schedule. Trustees distribute payments to creditors based on priority status.

Information provided to creditors during the 341 meeting is given under oath. If petitioners provide falsified information they can be subjected to criminal charges and have their bankruptcy petition dismissed.

One stipulation of BAPCPA is debtors must enter into credit counseling through an agency authorized through the U.S. Trustee. The cost of counseling is the responsibility of the Petitioner. In some instances, credit counseling allows debtors to avoid bankruptcy.

Credit counseling agencies are well-connected within the credit industry. Counselors can sometimes help debtors arrange suitable refinance plans without the need to file petition. Debtors are allowed to obtain counseling up to 180 days prior to filing their petition.

Those who find it necessary to move forward with personal bankruptcy must obtain a certificate of completion which is presented to the court before approval is granted.

While individuals are allowed to file bankruptcy without legal counsel, few can comply with BAPCPA guidelines without a lawyer. BAPCPA requires attorneys to provide a letter of certification which declares all information provided is truthful and that bankruptcy is required in order for Petitioners' to obtain debt relief.

Due to this stipulation, lawyers verify information provided as they could be faced with fines if it is later discovered a Petitioner was untruthful. This has led to increased legal fees and made it more challenging to locate bankruptcy attorneys.

Under BAPCPA, debtors are required to repay a portion of their debt under Chapter 13 unless they earn less income than their states' median income level. Debtors undergo the 'means' test to determine how much outstanding debt will be repaid.

When income is greater than state median income a debt reorganization plan is developed and confirmed under Chapter 13. When income is less than state levels, debtors might be allowed to file Chapter 7 and have outstanding debts discharged.

Chapter 13 payment plans cannot exceed 5 years in duration. During the repayment phase, debtors are not allowed to incur new debt unless they obtain court approval. When debtors do not comply with payment plans, creditors can request the petition be dismissed. If this occurs, debtors fail out of bankruptcy and no longer have court protection against creditors.

Bankruptcy confirmation can be beneficial in certain situations. However, debtors should seek out bankruptcy alternatives such as debt consolidation or debt settlement before filing a petition. Alternatives can oftentimes provide the same result without the long-term financial consequences associated with Chapters 7 and 13.

Facebook Forced By Privacy Activist To Put Policy Changes Up For Worldwide Vote

Max Schrems, the Austrian founder of Europe Vs. Facebook, has forced Facebook to put?proposed policy changes?up for a vote by all its users. By mobilizing his privacy group to flood Facebook's Site Governance page with pasted messages, many more than 7,000 comments were received on the proposal -- the threshold for triggering a vote. Europe Vs. Facebook is demanding sweeping changes to Facebook's product rather than the small policy changes found in the proposal Today the one-week voting period opens on a set of a relatively benign changes and Facebook will notify users by web and mobile. If over 30% of Facebook's active users, or 230 million people, vote for the changes they'll go into effect, and if they vote against they'll be scrapped. Otherwise Facebook will take the changes "under advisory".?Facebook's Chief Privacy Officer for Policy Erin Egan told me yesterday the company will consider changing its site governance voting system to discourage votes being triggered by low-quality comments and adapt to the growing size of Facebook's user base.

NASA's NuSTAR telescope will hunt black holes

The space agency's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array is slated to launch June 13 from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

By Denise Chow,?SPACE.com / May 31, 2012

After months of delay, NASA's newest space telescope is just two weeks away from launching on an ambitious mission to seek out the universe's black holes and investigate their mysterious origins.

The space agency's?Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array?(NuSTAR) is slated to launch June 13 from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The X-ray space telescope will ride into orbit on a Pegasus XL rocket from Orbital Sciences, which is designed to launch in midair from a rocket-carrying aircraft. The mission has been awaiting launch since March, when NASA delayed its liftoff pending a review of the rocket.

NuSTAR will study?how black holes form?and grow, and how these processes affect their host galaxies, said Fiona Harrison, principal investigator of the NuSTAR mission at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, Calif.

"It's the very first telescope to focus high-energy X-rays," Harrison told reporters today (May 30) in a news briefing. "This will enable NuSTAR to study some of the hottest, densest and most energetic phenomena in the universe, for example?black holesand explosions of massive stars."

NuSTAR will examine these objects with unprecedented sensitivity by studying light in the high-energy, short-wavelength X-ray range. Images beamed back from NuSTAR will be 10 times sharper than current X-ray observatories in orbit, Harrison said.

"It's opening up a new window on the universe," said Paul Hertz, director of the astrophysics division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. "Although we are going into this mission with many scientific questions, like all of our NASA missions, we're going to find unexpected things out there that will lead us to questions and answers that we aren't even anticipating at this time."

NuSTAR was originally scheduled to launch in March, but was delayed after NASA decided more time was needed to review software on the Pegasus XL rocket.

The delay meant that the mission, which carried an initial price tag of about $165 million, increased by several million dollars, or a few percent, Hertz said. NuSTAR's science missions, however, were not impacted by the extra time required for the rocket's software review.

NuSTAR will examine the innermost regions of black holes, where hot material is accelerated close to the speed of light, boosting emissions into the high-energy X-ray range, Harrison explained.

In these areas, light is bent and severely distorted by the black hole's strong gravity. By studying atoms in the X-ray band as they are drawn into the black hole, researchers will be able to see the effects of a black hole's intense gravity.

These observations will let scientists watch as a black hole feeds and grows, and will offer them a glimpse of the environment surrounding these cosmic giants, said Daniel Stern, NuSTAR project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

But NuSTAR is also designed to study other intriguing phenomena in our galaxy and the universe, Stern added, including the remnants of massive stars that end their lives in?violent supernova explosions, high-speed particle jets, ultra-dense neutron stars, and coronal mass ejections and flares from the sun.

The NuSTAR telescope falls under NASA's Small Explorer mission category, and is led by Caltech and managed by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
