came to town. Here’s what they said. by patrick rodgers

09 Community 11 Blotter

The waning of summer means two most excellent things: 1) College football (of course); and 2) the beginning of Savannah’s fall cultural season, with all its attendant buzz and vibrancy.

As for that second point, our Fall Arts Preview special issue is our way of compiling all those fun and enriching events — or as many as we can get our hands on, anyway — into one easy-to-read, accessible guide so that you can mark your calendars, whether on the wall or in your cellphones.

We do heartily encourage you, however, to keep checking Connect Savannah each week for updates and additions; invariably many, many dozens of events will come to light in the meantime.

In my time here at the newspaper, probably the most salient thing that’s happened over the years has been the absolute explosion of arts and cultural events in Savannah.

While the tourism sector has undergone its own robust expansion, the exponential increase in cultural programming has, to my mind, been an even more significant mark of Savannah’s growth as a cosmopolitian metro area with a distinct cultural life all its own.

The growth has been evident even in the past year, a supposedly down time in most other areas because of the economy. Our Fall Arts Preview issue this year is significantly larger than last year’s, both in literal size as well as in scope of coverage.

A couple of notes: • The Fall Arts Preview “Film” section is for local indie screenings and film series. For information about what the big multiplexes are showing this fall, go to Matt Brunson’s Fall Film Preview later on in the issue.

• The Art Exhibits Preview by definition doesn’t contain 100 percent of gallery info because A) not all galleries have determined

12 Straight Dope

In other developments: An under-the-radar yet very important cultural development of another type is taking place this Friday, as Savannah experiences its first-ever “Queer Power March” downtown. See Patrick Rodgers’ story this issue.

Whether your own personal politics look kindly or look askance at such an event, it is indisputable that such a thing was very unlikely to happen in the Savannah of 20 or even 10 years ago.

In a time when America is undergoing enormous economic and environmental stress from deep and fundamental flaws in our system, it is interesting that our politics, as seemingly happens every election season, will once again come down to some group being scapegoated — Mexicans, Muslims and gays, oh my! — instead of Americans doing the hard work of addressing those fundamental flaws.

I’m happy to be living in a place where that kind of ugly and useless scapegoating, thank goodness, is in shorter and shorter supply. cs

Take a hike

Georgia Power wants to raise its rates; customers express displeasure

by Patrick Rodgers

patrick@connectsavannah.com

The Public Service Commission (PSC), a panel of elected officials charged with regulating Georgia’s utility and telecommunications companies, paid a visit to Savannah last week for a public hearing on the $615 million rate increase requested by Georgia Power earlier this summer.

It was standing room only in the City Council chambers, where the hearing was held, and no one had shown up to support the idea of the area’s only electricity provider charging higher rates.

The 8.2 percent increase, if approved, will result in an additional cost of $10.88 per 1,000 kilowatt hours.

The meeting opened with ground rules being laid out, including a three minute time limit for each person wishing to comment, as well as a request not to ask the commission direct questions in the name of expediting what was anticipated to be a long hearing.

PSC Chairman Lauren “Bubba” McDonald then ran through a presentation outlining the commission’s duties, offering some background on the rate

Members of the Public Service Commission at City Hall taking often-heated comments; no actual questions were allowed

request process and a selective history of Georgia Power’s rates along with comparisons to other states.

The presentation seemed like a pitch to subdue the crowd’s ire, or least make the utility company seem more reasonable. McDonald pointed out that the cost of electricity had risen less than other consumer goods like gasoline or healthcare, and how residents of New York and New Jersey pay more for electricity than Georgians.

The comparison to utility rates in other states was addressed later in the hearing by one commenter who said that those numbers were meaningless because median income and cost of living differed so much between states.

While information from the PSC presentation mentioned the Georgia Power rate increases of 2004 ($194 million) and 2007 ($322 million), omitted from the presentation were more recent additions to monthly bills like fuel recovery cost increases, or the fees adopted by state legislators (2009’s Senate Bill 31) to fund construction of two new reactors at Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro.

Once the floor was opened to public input, so began the litany of concerns, frustration, disappointment and outrage.

Several citizens, many of whom came on behalf of neighborhoods or church groups, questioned the impact the hike would have on seniors living on fixed income. Others questioned whether the PSC was upholding their stated mission to protect consumers if they were passing a rate increase that would be used to bolster Georgia Power’s profit margin.

“They’re a monopoly,” said one commenter, citing “the privilege of guaranteed profits and no competition.”

“I wish I could buy my power from someone else,” said another gentleman.

Input from the public ranged from personal pleas to protect consumers who’ve fallen on hard times to well researched arguments about the nature of capital investments and management practices.

One of the most intriguing comments came from Ken Zapp, a Ph.D holding economist who moved to the area from Minnesota three weeks ago.

He debunked the rationale that some of the rate increase would be needed for additional capital because interest rates were at historic lows and Georgia Power’s stock prices had been steadily climbing. He described the increase as “immoral and economically unnecessary.”

City Council member Tony Thomas made an appearance, standing on the other side of the podium from his usual place in council’s chambers. He cited the potential rate increase as a serious threat to economic recovery.

Part of Georgia Power’s rational for the rate increase, besides profit, is the costs it has incurred bringing out–dated coal burning plants into compliance with environmental regulations.

Thomas closed eloquently, stating, “the burden of modernization shouldn’t be on the shoulders of rate payers.”

Georgia Power will present its case to the Public Service Commission October 4–6, which will be followed by input from PSC staff at a hearing November 8–10, with a final decision being given on December 21. cs

Politics

by Patrick Rodgers | patrick@connectsavannah.com

A discussion about the state’s tax code and economic growth opened several cans of worms at a local meeting of the Tax Reform Council, not all of them tax related.

The council is a group of business people, economists and tax professionals convened by legislators earlier this year to update the state’s tax code with the simultaneous goal of making it fairer to taxpayers and more business friendly.

Hundreds of people, from lobbyists to concerned citizens, have been attending the group’s initial meetings in Atlanta, which prompted last week’s tour of what council chairman A.D. Frazier described as “fact finding missions,” including stops in Augusta, Savannah, Valdosta and Macon.

Frazier, a business man perhaps best known for his role in Atlanta’s Olympic organization in 1996, was the only member present at the stop in Savannah, which took place at the Coastal Georgia Center last Tuesday afternoon.

Several dozen people were in attendance, including elected officials, industry representatives, tax groups and executives.

Frazier assured the crowd that given the task at hand, the council “won’t try to form an opinion until after the election,” in November. The council will report their recommendations to a joint committee in January 2011, and the committee will draft legislation that

will be subject to an up or down vote by legislators in both houses.

Effingham County resident, Ruth Lee kicked things off by telling Frazier she was disappointed that the council wouldn’t be looking more closely at ad valorem property taxes.

She also expressed concerns over alleged malfeasance by the Effingham County Board of Assessors, particularly that property assessments continued to rise despite the depressed real estate market and that descendents of the Salzburgers who settled the area centuries ago could be at risk of losing their land.

Lee was followed by Chatham County Commission Chairman Pete Liakakis, who raised questions about the fairness of distribution for franchise fees paid by utility companies.

The fees are collected by companies and paid as “rent” for lines and pipes that cross publicly owned land. Because of state law, the franchise fees are paid to municipalities and consolidated county governments, but can’t be paid to Chatham County for use in unincorporated county’s Special Service District even though residents of the SSD pay into the franchise fee coffers.

According to Liakakis, $3.2 million was collected in Special Service District

“Chatham County has attempted to resolve the unfairness,” via the state legislature, Liakakis said. However, because the rule only affects six of the state’s 159 counties, it was never addressed.

Having found a sympathetic ear, Liakakis also explained that state mandated services were also a burden to the county budget. He expressed concerns that there were a large number of state prisoners being held in the county jail, the costs for whom was not being fully reimbursed by the state.

According to Liakakis, the state was paying $22 per day for each prisoner, but the cost to the county was closer to $50 per day. Over the last nine years, that discrepancy had accumulated to a sum of $29 million being subsidized by

Chatham County taxpayers.

Among other input offered, both the American Cancer Society and the Healthy Savannah Initiative support a minimum $1 per pack increase in the excise tax on tobacco products, which would generate an additional $400 million in revenue and provide economic incentive for smokers to quit.

Mike Bell, a representative of forest products company Rayonier, advocated for a continuation of the sales tax exemptions for agriculture and manufacturing sectors, as well as a cut in the tax on energy paid by manufacturers. cs The next full meeting of the Tax Reform Council will be in November 3 in Atlanta.

How not to make friends

A woman called police to report that she had been receiving regular phone calls from an unknown male. The calls had been happening for about a week by the time she called police.

The caller would tell her that she’d won a large sum of money and tried to make arrangements to meet her at a grocery store on the Diamond Causeway. She told police that the caller often referred to her as “sweetheart” or “darling.” She told police that she never made arrangements to meet the caller and hadn’t given him any money, but that she wanted the calls to stop. The officer advised that she have the phone company block calls from the number. She was provided with a CRN and was told to follow up with detectives. \

• Police responded to a vandalism call after a woman returned home from vacation to discover that the clothes in her closet had all been damaged, most with straight, clean cuts to the garments.

Nothing else in the house was out of the ordinary. According to the officer, there appeared to be at least 50 items that had been damaged. There were also items in her dresser that had been cut with what appeared to be either scissors or a box cutter. There were no signs of forced entry, however, the woman did find two windows unlocked. She told police that her estranged husband might be to blame. She has a restraining order against him because of his erratic behavior and substance abuse problems. She was given a CRN and her residence was placed on the forensics list.

the influx of calls could negatively impact the ability of police to respond to actual emergencies. If you’re experiencing traffic issues on school campus, call campus police: 912– 395–5536, or the SCMPD non–emergency number: 912–651–6675.

The girlfriend followed him with bike in hand until the guy began to yell at her after she asked him to return to the car. He began using abusive language and said he wanted to be left alone.

news & opinion

the straight dope

Do you think creating a humanlike robot is possible? If so, how many years might it take? —Debbie, Jakarta, Indonesia Anything is possible, Debbie. The question is whether it’s likely. My guess: no. Here’s why.

What’s the point? We’ve already got a method of making self-propelled homunculi that realistically simulate a mature human being. It’s called sex. Five minutes of mixing the ingredients, nine months of patient construction, and ten years in front of the TV. Voila, the cutest little robot you can imagine.

Does it walk? You bet. Does it talk?

Like a champ. Does it think? Let’s not expect miracles. Nonetheless, it’s hard to imagine why you’d spend 90 jillion dollars replicating what you’ve got a globe full of bipeds churning out at their own expense.

I’m not claiming there’s no need for robots. However, the goal of commercial robotics is to produce machines capable of reliably performing a tiny subset of human functions without needing bathroom breaks or asking for a raise. These special-purpose devices, ranging from assembly-line welders to carpet sweepers, bear little or no resemblance to the living workers they replace. That’s just as well, because to the extent that they do: It’s creepy. An entrepreneur might well see a market for a machine that duplicated the appearance of a human for use as a product demonstrator, say, or—let’s be blunt—a sexbot. But be honest: would you really want to deal with one?

Here we run into what Japanese robotics engineer Masahiro Mori called the “uncanny valley.� People respond positively when inanimate objects are endowed with human characteristics— up to a point. But if the object begins to approximate humanness too closely without getting all the way there, affection gives way to revulsion.

That’s the valley on the emotional-

response chart. Movie animators stray into the uncanny valley at their peril.

The success of Pixar productions like the Toy Story series, A Bug’s Life, etc, suggests we’re delighted by animated creations that are recognizably caricatures. But many blame the chilly response to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and The Polar Express on the fact that the human characters in these films were too lifelike to be endearing but not lifelike enough to seem real. An android presents the same problem.

Finally, let’s not minimize a fundamental problem: Making a good android is really tough.

A convincingly human robot needs to do two things. First, walk the walk, which is to say, closely reproduce not just human appearance but human movement, and second, talk the talk, meaning not just that it sounds like a person but that it interacts with its environment as we do.

The purely mechanical part is difficult. Honda engineers have been working on robots capable of walking since 1986; one early model incorporated a computer, 32 motors, a battery, a radio, and numerous sensors and weighed 462 pounds. The current model, called ASIMO, has been slimmed down to 95 pounds and can walk in a circle (no mean feat) and . . . well, the engineers call it “running,� but top speed is less than four miles per hour.

But realistic movement is just the start. The bigger challenge is getting the robot to behave like a human. The classic standard here is the Turing test: whether a machine’s conversational responses can be distinguished from a person’s. Some big heads in the world of artificial intelligence have spent decades arguing whether a machine that passed the Turing test would be truly thinking, but all we need for our purposes is a convincing fake. Even optimists doubt we’ll reach that goal before 2029.

Despite difficulties, buffs claim more lifelike robots would be better adapted to the human environment than the primitive devices we have now. But experience suggests it’s simpler to redesign the environment than the machine. (Example: other than buildings, arguably the most sustained capital investment in history has been in flat rolling surfaces for wheeled vehicles.)

Still, maybe someday we really will have mechanical maids like in the old Jetsons cartoon show. But androids that can persuade you they’re human, or close to it? I won’t say never. But not soon. cs CECIL ADAMS

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration announced in August that it had contract work for up to 2,100 language specialists to transcribe wiretaps, with immediate needs in the Atlanta field office for 144 Spanish experts, along with 12 for Vietnamese, and nine each for Korean, Farsi and “Ebonics.” Ebonics is recognized by some linguists as the “nonstandard” form of English spoken by African-Americans.

(In one example cited by the Associated Press, offered by Stanford professor John Rickford, “th” endings are pronounced as “f,” e.g., “both” as “boaf.”)

The Continuing Crisis

• Texas State Rep. Joe Driver, an 18-year House veteran whose website notes his opposition to “big spending habits of liberals in government,” was revealed in August to have been routinely double-billing the government for travel expenses and to have been genuinely surprised to learn that voters and colleagues might find that improper. Wrote the Associated Press: “Driver insists he thought the double-billing was perfectly appropriate -- until talking about it with the AP,” at which point he appeared to change his mind. “Well, it doesn’t sound (appropriate) now (if) you bring it up that way,” he admitted. “(To learn that) pretty well screws my week.” For at least five years, Driver had been collecting from the government for expenses already reimbursed by his re-election campaign.

Joseph Wheeler filed a $12 million lawsuit in August against Prince George’s Hospital in Upper Marlboro, Md., over its treatment following a June 23 car accident.

He was admitted with serious injuries, but hospital staff mistakenly marked him for next-day cancer surgery, and when he protested and tried to leave, two muscular staff “security” men restrained him, dishing out even more pain. Yelled one, according to the lawsuit, “Get off the floor, bitch!” “I don’t care who you think you are. This is my camp.” (The next day Wheeler talked his way to St. Mary’s Hospital, where he was treated for four broken ribs, a sprained shoulder, ruptured spleen and concussion.)

The Weirdo-American Community

John Theodore Anderson (also known, in his court filings, as “John-Theodore:Anderson) filed a lawsuit in August against an Alpine, Utah, attorney who had acquired land from a man who Anderson said owed him $4,000 for “consulting” work. The attorney, and the previous owner, denied Anderson’s claim, provoking Anderson to file a lien on the land -- for $918 billion (a mark-up only quixotically related to the $4,000). However, by the time Anderson got around to filing the lawsuit to defend the lien, his $4,000 claim had become $38 quadrillion (38 thousand trillion dollars). cs

Fall arts preview

Concerts A lot of the most interesting live music in Savannah isn’t announced far in advance – we’ve got a handful of clubs in town that bring in the best regional, and sometimes national, touring bands.

The best thing to do is watch Connect each week; we’ll keep you updated as things are booked and announced.

This, on the other hand, is a calendar of concerts – spanning all genres of music – that have already been set in stone.

Savannah’s largest venue, the Savannah Civic Center, includes the gargantuan Martin Luther King Jr. Arena (which, admittedly, is rarely used for concerts any more) and the 2,500–seat Johnny Mercer Theatre (which is).

The Mercer, as a matter of fact, is where you’ll find the next two big ones: Pop/country crooner Kenny Rogers on Sept. 17, and blues guitar legend B.B. King on Sept. 29.

As always, these events are subject to last–minute change.

Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus: The American Spirit. At 8 p.m. Sept. 11, Lucas Theatre. $15–$50.

In observance of the date, all–American music from Gershwin, Sousa and other composers.

Savannah Philharmonic: Chamber Concert. At 3 p.m. Sept. 12, Skidaway Island United Methodist Church. The brass quartet with works by Bach, Vivaldi, Gabrielli, Boyce.

Kenny Rogers. At 8 p.m. Sept. 17, Johnny Mercer Theatre. $45–$65. Yes, he’s still around and yes, he’s still a peerless country/pop vocalist.

Art Rosenbaum and the Around the Globe Sea Chantey Singers. The title pretty much says it all. These guys sing traditional sailing songs in the folkloric tradition. At 7 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Ships of the Seas Museum. Free.

ON THE RADAR: Blues guitar great B.B. King, left, will perform Sept. 29 at the Johnny Mercer Theatre (Savannah Civic Center); New York’s experimental rock trio Yeasayer plays the Trustees Theater Oct. 3

“Jazzy Picnic in the Park.” At 3 p.m.

Savannah’s community theater renaissance continues with the return of City Lights, which once was synonymous with quality productions but went on extended hiatus in 2007.

At its apex, the City Lights Theater Company regularly drew large crowds to its Broughton Street stage; if it was a City Lights show, people knew they would probably be seeing something special.

“We’re sort of struggling back into being,” says writer, producer and director Jim Holt, one of the group’s founders. “I took five years off of doing theater and taught school for a while. Got really tired of that.

And so I’m going to do a season of shows and see how it goes.”

The first “new” City Lights production, the comedy Open House, will be onstage Sept. 10, 11, 17 and 18 at the City of Savannah’s S.P.A.C.E. black box on Henry Street.

Holt wrote Open House, and he’s directing it, too.

His season – dates are TBA – will also include God of Carnage, Yasmina Reza’s West End and Broadway smash about a pair of feuding parents.

“I wanted to do all original plays,” says Holt, “but I decided that’s not really feasible in Savannah at this time. Although it might be at some point.

“So rather than doing that, I want to do original plays, or for the most part plays that haven’t been done here before.”

DARE DUKES & THE BLACKSTOCK COLLECTION

At 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11 The Sentient Bean, 13 E. Park Ave. $6.

Our city’s pre–eminent singer/songwriter returns for one of his periodic local shows – Dukes plays up the Eastern Seaboard a lot, and is a regular performer in New York City, where he keeps a second home and office. D. D. is a happy camper these days because he and the band have recorded the backing tracks for 11 new songs in an Athens studio. “Next week I’m going to do lead vocals, and after that keyboards and stuff, and hopefully – if the planets align – I’ll be ready to mix in December.” This will be Dukes’ second CD, following the critically praised Prettiest Transmitter of All. “I’ve been playing a lot of these songs over the last year or two or three, with different permutations of the band,” he says. “It’s super, super cool to see the arrangements come together, and the personnel come together.” Several of the Blackstock musicians are from Atlanta, while others live here in Savannah. This show – which will find the Bean staying open until 11 p.m., an hour later than usual – also features our own General Oglethorpe and the Panhandlers, and the Atlanta–based Blair Crimmins and the Hookers.

WEDNESDAY

THE TRAIN WRECKS/AMERICAN GUN

At 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10 The Jinx, 127 W. Congress St. The Train Wrecks, arguably the most exciting band on the current Savannah scene, need no introduction (that’s them in the photo).

This, however, looks like the matchup to beat this weekend, because American Gun – back just a month and change since they were last in town – is also a hard–charging, electrifying Americana band (what the mainstream media still insists on calling “alt country”).

From Columbia, S.C., the gunners are touring extensively behind a new CD, with singer, songwriter and guitarist Todd Mathis out front (his fellow founder Donald Merckle – together they’re a bit like Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar in the glory days of Uncle Tupelo – is on the album but is taking a break from live shows).

The Train Wrecks, as we’ve reported here, are about to drop a cool new album any week now. See thetrainwrecksband.com, americangun.net

CHECK IT OUT

For the uninitiated, First Friday Fetish (at the Wormhole Bar this week) is a celebration of debauchery, with barely–costumed ladies (“The Naughty Schoolgirls of St. Sinner’s Detention Hall”) on hand to spank or flog you on the wheel, depending on what you’re into. It’s all in good fun, to be sure, but it can get pretty freaky. DJ Gene spins electronica and ‘80s and ‘90s rock (can you say “new wave”?). Be there or be square. See wormholebar.com

Interview

music

dad on The Starter Wife.

Cox also happens to be an acoustic guitarist and singer/songwriter of considerable renown, with seven CDs of sweet, smple folk music to his credit.

This week, he performs twice in the Savannah area, with his longtime friend and collaborator Jack Williams.

The following is edited down from a much longer interview with Cox – we talked at length about our favorite Texas songwriters (his: Mickey Newbury; mine: Guy Clark) and the recent passing of his good friend, California music legend Kenny Edwards.

SEP 8 - SEP 14, 2010 | WWW.CONNECTSAVANNAH.COM

How do things work onstage with you and Jack?

Ronny Cox: Jack does the first set, and then he joins me for the second set.

We found that that works best for us.

Because both of us are storytellers, and both of us feel like we need more of a run at things. If I do say so, the show really works out well. As well as being the greatest singer/songwriter that I know, Jack is absolutely the best accompanist in the world. The thing about Jack, when he’s playing with you, is that he has absolutely no ego about his own music. Every fiber of his being is to make your music as good as it can be.

We both like the house lights to stay up, because we like to see the audience.

YES, DEAR

Live music is so different from film work, isn’t it? Because you get an immediate response from people.

‘I love the music more’

A chat with legendary character actor Ronny Cox

by Bill DeYoung | bill@connectsavannah.com

Ronny Cox gets approached all the time, in airports, in restaurants and on the street. Inevitably, strangers recognize him – they’re sure they know him from somewhere.

Was it Des Moines? Akron? Atlanta?

That’s because Ronny Cox has one of those likeable everyman faces. He looks, well ... familiar.

All those people need to do is turn on their TV and wait. Sooner or later, something with Ronny Cox – one of America’s hardest–working character actors – will turn up. There he is, playing guitar alongside the hillbilly kid’s banjo in Deliverance, or bossing Eddie Murphy around in Beverly Hills Cop,

or scheming for world domination in RoboCop or Total Recall.

On TV, he starred as evil Senator Kinsey for the entire run of Stargate SG1, and memorably took over for Jean–Luc Picard in a legendary two–part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called Chain of Command.

He played John Gideon on St. Elsewhere, Marcia Cross’ father on Desperate Housewives, and Debra Messing’s

Ronny Cox: Absolutely. I love acting, don’t get me wrong. I love it and I’m good at it. To tell you the truth, I love the music more. With acting, no matter if it’s movies, television, plays, you name it, there is and must be that imaginary fourth wall between you and the audience. You can’t step through the camera.

You can’t step off the stage.

With music shows – especially the kind that Jack and I do, where we tell stories as well – there’s a possibility of a profound one–on–one sharing that takes place. And it’s that sharing that is the opiate. It’s nirvana, in a way.

You record and perform lots of songs from other writers, even though you’re a songwriter yourself. Why? Ronny Cox: As a matter of philosophy, I do more than half of my show of other people’s songs. And I can do a whole night of my songs, and I think they’re really great. But they’re all sort of coming from within me, you know? And I like a show that has an arc, one that I can paint these different colors, and

those different colors.

I also think it’s our job as folk artists, or acoustic musicians. The way it’s passed on is, if I know a wonderful songwriter from North Carolina named Jonathan Byrd, and you don’t, it’s my job to say “Listen. You need to know this guy.”

If you don’t know John William Davis’ songs, then you’ve got a big hole ... and he’s a Georgia boy! Do yourself a favor.

People will recognize your face, but not necessarily your name. Do you consider being a “character actor” a badge of honor?

Ronny Cox: I do, because I’m interested only in playing character. As you know, there’s basically two kinds of actors, guys who play persona, and guys who play character work. I have a very rich, wonderful, warm private life which will remain private, and that’s one of the reasons why I love playing the bad guys so much. Because we try to be good guys every day of our lives, you know? That’s pretty boring. So the fun for me is getting to play somebody that’s out there.

People still ask you about your role in that two–part episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, don’t they?

Ronny Cox: Oh yes. I’ve got some relatives who think it’s the only thing of any worth I’ve ever done!

And I did nine seasons as Senator Kinsey on Stargate. There’s a huge, huge synergy between folk music and sci–fi people. I’m the most hated man in the Stargate lexicon. But I went to a Stargate convention in England, and I did a concert for them. I thought perhaps they’d boo me off the stage, but I’ve never played to such a warm, receptive audience.

The kind of show I do is so foreign to the kind of show that they enjoy.

Acoustic music? As opposed to the sci–fi stuff? It almost didn’t compute.

But it was really one of the most amazing nights I’ve ever seen.

Take a drag

Christopher Blair returns as the transsexual star of Hedwig and the Angry Inch

by Bill DeYoung

BAY STREET THEATRE

culture

www.connectsavannah.com/culture

bill@connectsavannah.com

In Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Christopher Blair’s East German character has had a sex change operation that went “horribly wrong.”

In the mid-1990s, Christopher Blair saw the original Off–Broadway production of the tragicomic rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, starring its creator, John Cameron Mitchell.

“I was totally mesmerized by it,” he recalls. “It was like nothing that I’d ever seen.”

Beginning Sept. 17, Blair will assume the role in Bay Street Theatre’s second annual production of Hedwig. His performance in the 2009 version is generally considered a high–water mark in recent Savannah theater.

“This year is a little different than last year,” Blair says.

“It’s not the same exact show. We’re taking everything that was good, and that we liked about the other show, but this year we’re actually able to do more. Because we have more resources this year, quite frankly. More people involved.”

Hedwig and the Angry Inch is part rock ‘n’ roll concert, part standup comedy, and part drag show. The title character – usually, but not always, played by a man – wears a party dress, high heels, an elaborate wig and considerable makeup.

For Blair, it’s that blend of elements that makes the show work. “A drag queen is something that people usually just

laugh at because it’s funny – a man in a dress is a funny thing, and they make off–color jokes,” he explains. “But you don’t really get a back story. You don’t see them as a full–fledged human being that was a child once, and was raised up.

“And in rock shows, you just get the songs. You don’t get the stories behind the songs.”

That first time he watched Hedwig in New York, he says, “It was like all these stars lined up and created this beautiful piece of theater.”

The 37–year–old Blair is a native of Asheville, N.C. who’s lived in Savannah since 1993. His is a familiar face on the local theater scene. He’s a versatile actor/singer.

Most recently, he brought down the house as Pharaoh in the Savannah Children’s Theatre’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

During rehearsals for that show, Blair says, he was getting ready to reprise Hedwig. To the other adults backstage,

he would explain it this way: “Well, it’s the story of an East German young man who, in order to escape communist East Berlin, has a sex change to marry an American man. And it goes horribly wrong.

“And a year after that happens, the Berlin Wall comes down, and she’s left in America. In a trailer in the Midwest.

She’s divorced and penniless.”

A ‘“slip of a girlyboy,” Hansel – now known as Hedwig – falls for an innocent young songwriter named Tommy Gnosis, who takes the songs they wrote together and becomes a huge rock star, much to Hedwig’s consternation.

“She had this little bright moment of life in her life,” Blair would tell his friends at the Children’s Theatre, “and then that walked out the door as well ....

“Then they go ‘That just sounds horrible!’ And I go ‘I know, but it’s hilariously funny.’

“And out of that struggle and strife came this amazing music. That’s kind of the way I look at it – sometimes it takes great suffering to come up with the best music, art

John Turner and George Moser.

“We feel like a band. Last year, we felt like actors. Last year most of the musicians onstage were actors who just happened to play instruments. And this year, some of these guys are musicians who are kind of having to learn to be actors.”

Blair will also be onstage as Frank N. Furter in Bay Street’s October production of The Rocky Horror Show. That’s a fun gig, he says, but Hedwig and the Angry Inch is by far his favorite show to do.

“I never thought I’d get the chance to do it,” Blair says, “especially in Savannah. Because I was remembering Savannah from before, which was very traditional musicals – we did a lot of Sondheim, Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner and Loewe, all those things.

And then Bay Street Theatre came along.” CS Hedwig and the Angry Inch Where: Bay Street Theatre at Club One, 1 Jefferson St. When: At 8 p.m. Sept. 17–26 Online: baystreettheatre.org

and humor. If her life hadn’t been so tragic, I don’t think the music – and the jokes – would have so much weight.

Sometimes the best way to deal with tragedy is just to laugh at it.

“It makes it OK for everybody to experience this together with her: ‘If she can come through all this, and still have a sense of humor, then it’s OK.’” It takes nearly two hours for Blair to apply his makeup. Getting in character, he says, is a layering process.

“Obviously, you have to wear the shoes. That helps a lot, and that’s true of just about everything I play. Once I know what kind of shoes they wear it helps me get in physical character.

“There’s a lot of grooming that I don’t normally have to do; I have to shave various parts of myself.”

Hedwig is onstage for pretty much the whole show, along with a live five–member rock band.

“The band is killin’ it this year,” Blair enthuses. “We’re on cloud nine with the band.”

Some good Cali Cabs A big, bold, California Cabernet Sauvignon may be the benchmark style chased by steak lovers and nouveau collectors, but sometimes a value–priced, juicy and accessible Cab is all it takes to quench the longing for this classic grape.

It is one of the most prominent and recognizable of the red wine grapes. With its heritage firmly entrenched in Bordeaux from France, Cabernet Sauvignon quickly became a world traveler, finding long–term accommodations in California’s Napa Valley, Washington State, Chile’s Maipo Valley and the Coonawarra region of Australia.

Vineyard owners took to the grape immediately for its easy–living style. It grows without much handling – thanks to it’s thick skins and vines that are resistant to rot and disease. As a grape varietal, it’s fairly new, in historic terms. What we relish today from this single grape is the result of a 17th Century marriage between Cabernet Franc (a red grape) and Sauvignon Blanc (a white grape).

At its most expensive, Cabernet Sauvignon is the result of careful handling, a lengthy maturation is combinations of French and/or American oak barrels. Its beefy tannins and typically high alcohol

levels create a wine that can live and grow in its bottles for a decade or more.

Today, we’re not exploring aging wines, but ready–to–drink Cabernet Sauvignon that, while maybe not in the big leagues, is certainly expressive of the grape variety and accessible to most palates.

– and a Cab that even white wine lovers can embrace. Big fruit, comfortable finish and as easily useful on the dinner table as it is sipping on the porch.

Anderson Conn Valley Prologue: This versatile food partner is a steal of around $22 and drinks like a much pricier bottle.

It possesses all the great fruit of Cabernet Sauvignon and delivers oaky nuances like vanilla, toast and cherry. Good news: While ready to drink, this label will cellar for several more years to come – and continue to improve over the next 5–6 years.

Leese–Fitch: The Other Guys wine company reps Pennywise and a sister wine from Leese–Fitch. The familiar and elegant label is an indicator of the juice inside. Count on lip–smacking red fruit and tannins that are as delicately balanced as a high wire artist.

Leese–Fitch blends grapes from several California AVAs – and adds splashes of Tempranillo, Syrah, Alicante Bouchet and Petite Sirah to give this highly drinkable wine mass appeal and unexpected complexity for the price. Find it for around $12.

Pennywise: This bargain comes from a portfolio of wines heavily influenced by the legendary Sebastiani family and is one of a line of single varietals that should see shelf prices of under $12. It is juicy and enjoyable

Don’t forget to aerate! Even value–driven Cabernet Sauvignon can benefit from a little airing out. Open the bottle early, decant or use of those aeration gadgets to bring out the full character of the wine. cs

bites & Pieces Tim’s restaurant hopping turns up intriguing and satisfying meals.

Bonefish Grill

He picks some experiences every week to share:

I wondered where high school date night was this generation.

If a recent Friday was any indicator – it’s at Bonefish Grill.

On a night when many downtown restaurants were winding down at 8 p.m., it had a 15–minute wait.

We passed on a beverage from the bar and waited for our table. Once seated, we wasted no time ordering the restaurant’s signature Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer. The shareable portion offered a mountain of tender, crispy fried shrimp that had been tossed in a nicely spicy and creamy sauce. Our server kept the cool drinks steadily refilled and was exceptionally attentive and pleasant – despite the crush of demands coming from all sides.

I chose a special entree, accompanied by a comforting scoop of garlic mashed potatoes and succotash. It’s tough to beat

mashed potatoes; the succotash was an unexpected side dish that turned out to be buttery rich and seasoned just right.

My grilled Red Snapper was crispy on the outside and fork tender and moist inside. A topping of crab meat, cheese and gape tomatoes added an interesting snap of color and texture.

Ms. T.J. Loved her Grouper equally well. The nicely sized portion was buttery and flavorful. Her choice of scalloped potatoes was a right–sizing served rich with cheesy goodness.

For an upscale casual restaurant, I’m continually impressed with the wine selection at Bonefish Grill – and the choices of leading American craft beers. Both lists go above and beyond the offerings of competitors who consider themselves upscale destinations.

SMF violin The lineup for the 2011 Savannah Music Festival will be announced Nov. 10, with tickets going on sale that very day. Unlike years past, the announcement won’t be a big public bash followed by a concert – at least not immediately.

The SMF folks are bringing in violinist Robert McDuffie Nov. 17, to perform at the Lucas Theatre with the Venice Baroque Orchestra. This classical tag team will play Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons,” along with “Concerto for Viloin No. 2 – The American Four Seasons,” written specifically for McDuffie (a Macon native) by Philip Glass.

Tickets, $15–$55, go on sale Sept. 23.

Eagle–eyed Best–selling crime novelist Stuart Woods will speak Sept. 23 at Trinity Church, 225 President Street, on a promotional tour behind his latest book Santa Fe Edge. It’s the latest chapter in Woods’ series centered around eccentric New Mexico defense attorney Ed Eagle.

The 7 p.m. appearance, which is free, is brought to you by the good people at the Savannah Book Festival.

And now, this • Folk music maven Art Rosenbaum, whose adventures in folkloric research and preservation are the stuff of legend, is coming to the Ships of the Sea

Museum Sept. 18 with his Around the Globe Sea Chantey Singers.

Rosenbaum, who plays banjo, guitar, fiddle, harmonica and accordion, is an archivist, traditionalist and collector of tunes, and the group consists of present and former art students of his from the University of Georgia, who gather semi-regularly at the Globe Pub in Athens to sing chanteys. They’ve collected many Georgia–specific lumber and cotton chanteys from ports where African–American, Yankee and British folk singing traditions blended.

The concert is free. On Sept. 23, the Ships of the Sea Museum is bringing in storytellor/Southern griot J’mai Nabawi, with the Savannah Cieli Band, for another free performance (this at 6 p.m.).

• The SCAD animation department will showcase its short films Sept. 25 at the Trustees Theater. SCADanimate! starts at 7:30 p.m., and it’s free.

• The Savannah Folk Music Society will be the beneficiary when guitars signed by Doc Watson and Richie Havens, and a Pete Seeger–signed banjo, go up for auction this week on eBay. The Gretsch Foundation donated the instruments, along with guitars autographed by Jackson Browne, Karla Bonoff and others. A bunch of instruments hand–painted by local artists will go on display at the Ellis Square Visitors Center Sept.

13; they’ll be auctioned during the festival, Oct. 8–10. CS

deadpan delivery to not only bring out the best in Duvall but also to frequently one–up him.

An Oscar campaign is guaranteed to be built around Duvall, but it’s really Murray who allows Get Low to hit its high notes.

The Last Exorcism The prospect of journeying to Hell and back seemed less daunting than sitting through another horror yarn made in the faux–documentary style of The Blair Witch Project, but The Last Exorcism proves to be a pleasant surprise – even more so since Hostel gorehound Eli Roth is listed as one of the film’s producers.

Unlike Roth’s hard–R outings as a director, The Last Exorcism is rated PG–13, but don’t let that debatable rating give the false impression that this is one for the whole family to enjoy. Director Daniel Stamm uses the fake cinema verite style to milk a lot of tension out of this feature in which the charismatic and cynical Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian), a reverend who no longer believes what he preaches, takes along a two–person documentary crew to perform an exorcism in some remote Louisiana hellhole, to prove conclusively that exorcisms are bogus (he employs a smoking crucifix and iPod–emanating growls in his act) and merely prey upon the superstitions of rubes.

Cotton thinks he’s found a perfect showcase as devout farmer Louis Sweetzer (Louis Herthum) insists that it’s his sweet and innocent teenage daughter Nell (Ashley Bell) who’s causing the livestock mutilations while being demonically possessed. After some initial scoffing, Cotton realizes that there is indeed something wrong with the girl, but is it merely psychological trauma or is Satan really hanging around?

Propelled by unexceptionally fine performances from Fabian and Bell, this creepy yarn builds to a powerhouse ending that would be even stronger were it not so choppy and truncated.

GET LOW Of all the actors who broke through in the 1960s, Robert Duvall is one of the great ones, ranking up there with Gene Hackman and Michael Caine. Yet with rare exception, it’s hard to think of a great Robert Duvall performance following his career–top-

The Switch

Bill Murray stars in Get Low

per in the 1989 TV miniseries Lonesome Dove. Even his most acclaimed work since then, such as his Oscar–nominated turns in The Apostle and A Civil Action, hardly seems like a stretch for a man of his considerable talents. Duvall’s usually incapable of delivering a performance that’s less than acceptable, but his rigid devotion to the image of the folksy Southern sage does mean that he’s long lost the ability to surprise.

Get Low, then, finds Duvall in familiar territory, playing a 1930s Tennessee hermit who has the luxury of speaking little and choosing his words wisely since he’s invariably always the smartest one in the room. His character, Felix Bush, has lived in self–imposed exile for decades, untroubled by the ugly rumors perpetuated by the nearby townspeople. But Felix needs help to pull off his unique idea – he wants a funeral party thrown for him while he’s still living, so he

can attend it and finally reveal his deep, dark secret – so he turns to the town’s shady funeral home director, Frank Quinn (Bill Murray), and Frank’s honest assistant Buddy (Lucas Black) to handle the preparations. As the men try to figure out how to pull this off, Felix takes some time out to visit former flame Mattie Darrow (Sissy Spacek).

Felix’s unburdening of his secret to a mob of partygoers (how radical these days to see a non– CGI–created crowd scene) feels anticlimactic given the lengthy buildup, and the plot points directly tied to this event – flashbacks, testy relationships with old acquaintances – stir little interest. Where the movie succeeds in its ability to successfully pit Duvall’s no–nonsense Felix against Murray’s calculating Frank. Rather than appearing out of place in this rustic setting, Murray flourishes, relying on his trademark wit and

A vile scenario doesn’t necessarily have to translate into a vile movie, providing there’s some objective or empathy on the part of the filmmakers. Gaspar Noe’s 2002 French release Irreversible, for example, centers around arguably the most brutal rape sequence ever committed to celluloid, but several factors, specifically Noe’s decision to tell the story in reverse (thus delineating the heartbreaking – and commonplace – circumstances that could have prevented the tragedy), provide the picture with a purpose and keep it out of the exploitation zone.

Then there’s the case of The Switch. Deciding that Jeffrey Eugenides’ short story would be perfect for expanding into a wacky comedy, the film’s creators – the Blades of Glory directing team of Josh Gordon and Will Speck, writer Allan Loeb and Jennifer Aniston herself (she serves as an executive producer) – ran with the premise of Jennifer Aniston as a single woman who badly wants a baby.

Aniston’s Kassie Larson opts to go the route of a sperm donor, despite the objections of her best friend Wally Mars (Jason Bateman).

Wally, a whiny neurotic who’s secretly smitten with Kassie, thinks it’s an awful idea – not so awful, though, that he doesn’t volunteer his own sperm (Kassie politely declines). Kassie’s sperm donor turns out to be a hunky athlete named Roland (Patrick Wilson), but through circumstances too mind–numbingly stupid to detail here, a drunken Wally accidentally spills the filled baby–batter cup and elects to replace the lost content with his own seed (produced while masturbating to a picture of Diane Sawyer).

The pregnant Kassie soon leaves town; cut to seven years later, when she returns with young continues on p. 40

NANNY MCPHEE RETURNS

SEP 8 - SEP 14, 2010 | WWW.CONNECTSAVANNAH.COM

40

Sly Stallone in The Expendables

Sebastian (Thomas Robinson) in tow.

Wally immediately notices that Sebastian shares many of his characteristics and habits, and he slowly recalls the hazy details of seven years ago; Kassie, on the other hand, remains dumb as a brick and will need Wally to spell it out for her. But of course, he’s too scared to tell her the truth, so much hilarity ensues. Or not.

Did none of the filmmakers – or the (mostly women) audience members at my screening – not realize that Wally’s action of implanting his unwanted sperm into Kassie qualifies as a form of rape? If the movie ever seriously addressed this issue beyond some ever–so–modest poo–pooing by Wally’s boss and confidant (a deadpan Jeff Goldblum, the film’s lone bright spot), then it would warrant some modicum of respect, but everything is played at an inane sitcom level, and we’re supposed to cheer Wally on as he incessantly tries to bag his woman (shouldn’t he be going to jail instead?).

Strip away the ramifications of the plot and The Switch is merely one more failed Aniston rom–com bomb. But add it back in and we’re talking about a fairly revolting piece of work.

Considering that 2005’s Nanny McPhee hasn’t exactly established itself on this side of the Atlantic as a family classic, there’s nothing about the title Nanny McPhee Returns to suggest that this sequel will fare any better. Perhaps Universal Pictures would have been wise to keep the film’s original British moniker, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, in the hopes that a few ill–informed folks stateside would mistake it for a softcore romp and hand over their hard–earned dollars.

Certainly, this children’s tale could use more bang for the filmgoer’s buck, relating an occasionally clever but often daft yarn about the efforts of the title character (again played by Emma Thompson) to help a struggling mother (Maggie Gyllenhaal, affecting a fine English accent) with her brood while her husband’s off fighting in World War II. The children are all well–cast, but this overdoses on the saccharine: Watching CGI critters do supposedly cute things (a bird constantly belching, pigs engaging in synchronized swimming) isn’t exactly my cup of tea – English Breakfast, English Afternoon, or otherwise.

THE EXPENDABLES The Truth In Advertising award for the summer of 2010 goes to The Expendables, which employs (however unintentionally) its own title to push the fact that this is a disposable action film that will dissipate from memory almost immediately. Its primary – make that only – selling point is its large cast of macho action stars.

But the truth only goes as far as the marquee. As the leader of a group of mercenaries hired to take down a South American dictator, Sylvester Stallone is almost always front and center, but those expecting him to share significant screen time with fellow Big Boys Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger will be disappointed that the other two are only in one scene. And really, is it that big a deal to have a cast that includes Steve Austin, Randy Couture and Terry Crews? These guys would line up for a straight–to–DVD American Pie sequel if asked.

Nobody goes to this type of movie for the acting, but given the lack of excitement in most of the action scenes (more mano–a–mano skirmishes would have better served the film rather than the ceaseless gunfire and explosions), there’s

VAMPIRES SUCK Go to the Internet Movie Database (www.IMDb.com) and you’ll find a section that lists the 100 worst movies ever made according to the site’s visitors. The writer–director team of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer is noteworthy in that three of their first four pictures – Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie – have all managed to place on that list (only Date Movie missed the cut). Having never seen any of these spoofs – none have been screened for critics, and other things in life held more interest than catching up with them – I initially took the online film

community’s unshakable faith in awfulness with a grain of salt, since these folks are the same people who have voted The Shawshank Redemption the greatest movie of all time (in Internet vernacular, my response to that delusional claim is LOLOL! ROFL!).

In regards to the Friedberg–Seltzer tag team, though, sitting through Vampires Suck makes me believe that these filmgoers may have a point, and I imagine this latest turkey will shortly be giving the pair four titles in that Bottom 100.

Despite that blanket title, don’t expect any digs at Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee or Anne Rice, and True Blood and The Vampire Diaries are dismissed with one blink–and–you’ll–miss–it sight gag apiece. No, this is strictly all–Twilight– all–the–time, with the focus squarely on Stephenie Meyer’s franchise phenomenon. Thus, in the town of Sporks, we find Becca Crane (Jenn Proske, the best thing in the movie) falling for the sparkly vampire Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter), with wolfboy Jacob White (Chris Riggi) sniffing at her heels with a bad case of puppy love.

While I’ve already seen worse movies than Vampires Suck this year, it’s doubtful I’ll see another as lazily constructed as this one – even a homemade YouTube video simply capturing a dog chasing its own tail displays more effort and imagination than what passes for entertainment here.

Because this is an obvious ploy to con money out of all the Twilight haters out there, Friedberg and Seltzer don’t even try to come up with clever ways to mock the material in the biting manner of, say, early Zucker–Abrahams–Zucker.

Instead, they merely plop down some sequence practically lifted wholesale from Twilight or The Twilight Saga: New Moon, add a gross–out gag, a piece of knockabout humor or a pop culture reference that will seem hopelessly dated in just a few years, and leave it at that.

A couple of lines manage to tickle the brain but don’t quite reach the corners of the mouth (needless to say, nothing here will elicit an actual belly laugh), leaving us with desperate humor along the lines of Becca’s father (Diedrich Bader) passing his blowup sex doll off as his daughter’s new mom, or Jacob

lifting his leg to urinate on a fire hydrant, or Lady Gaga/Kardashian/Jersey Shore shout–outs that add nothing but more embarrassment for all concerned.

Eat Pray Love

41 Just for the record, not all porn flicks are of the X–rated variety. More palatable for mass consumption are the films that qualify as “food porn,” works that show off delectable dishes in all their mouthwatering glory (e.g. Babette’s Feast, Julie & Julia). Then there’s the “travel porn” branch, efforts that offer postcard perfection and entice moviegoers to blow their savings on airfare and overseas accommodations (Out of Africa, Under the Tuscan Sun).

With trips to Italy, India and Bali, Eat Pray Love easily qualifies as travel porn, and the first third of its title promises a fair amount of food porn as well. But whereas these labels often prove to be a superficial picture’s whole reason for being, more complex movies use them as mere window dressing on a story that’s already involving down to its core. Eat continues on p. 42

little else to discuss. Faring best are Jason Statham as Stallone’s right–hand man – the actor’s natural charisma counts for a lot in the midst of all these stone faces – and Mickey Rourke in a nicely understated turn as a former member of Stallone’s squad.

Delivering the worst performance is Dolph Lundgren, who apparently hasn’t learned a single thing after 25 years in the business.

Pray Love, an adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir of the same name, joins the aforementioned pictures in this distinguished class.

I haven’t read Gilbert’s book, and it’s entirely possible that, in comparison, the film version seems about as complicated as an episode of Dora the Explorer. But on its own, this is a richly rewarding experience, following one woman’s journey both across the globe and within herself. Julia Roberts delivers her strongest performance since Erin Brockovich a full decade ago – as Liz Gilbert, she brings to the forefront the doubts, frustrations and longings inherent in a woman who soon realizes that she’s not content with her marriage or with her surroundings and elects to set out on new adventures.

Liz finds both spiritual and physical nourishment during her travels, but her lessons aren’t conveyed to us in the usual cookie–cutter platitudes; instead, the dialogue is frequently lyrical and lovely, never cheapening the thoughts or feelings being revealed.

Eat Pray Love is certain to get dismissed in some quarters as Sex and the City 2’s sister in failed counter programming. But with its themes of self–discovery and its impressive roster of award–caliber actors (Javier Bardem, Richard Jenkins, Viola Davis), it’s actually an intelligent movie for discernible grownups who wouldn’t be caught dead seeing Grown Ups.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is the movie Kick–Ass wishes it could be when it grows up. Thematically savvy, cinematically eye–popping, and infused with a here–and–now pop–culture specificity that’s part of the organic whole rather than just a cynical or faddish way to tackle the material, this adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novels isn’t just for the youthful gamers and gawkers – far from it.

Writer–director Edgar Wright, the British chap beloved by American filmgoers for Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, heads for North America (Toronto, to be exact) for this disarming yarn about an insecure 20–something (Michael Cera) who jams with a band when he’s not busy being chastised by friends and family for dating a high school student. Scott does enjoy the time spent with young Knives Chau (Ellen Wong), but his romantic focus shifts once he lays eyes on standoffish punker

Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Unceremoniously dumping Knives, he then pursues Ramona, who’s game but reluctantly informs him that in order to date her, Scott must first defeat all seven of her exes.

With the exception of run–ins with a swaggering movie star (Chris Evans) and a pompous vegan (Brandon Routh), Scott’s video game–inspired battles with Ramona’s former lovers turn out, on balance, to be the least interesting parts of the movie – no surprise, given the unrelenting amount of bombastic CGI required to pull these sequences off. Where the film works best is in its attention to matters of the heart, whether it’s the love triangle between Scott, Ramona and Knives or the universal message that every relationship comes with baggage that must be opened and sorted out.

Combining a giddy, sometimes campy approach to action with an earnest look at messy modern relationships, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World often feels like the unholy love child of TV’s 60s–era Batman and Chasing Amy – a melding I never thought I would see on this world or any other.

The Other Guys It makes perfect sense for a film like, say, An Inconvenient Truth or Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room to end with some sort of plea to our sense of activism or with a mountain of hard data about the evils of unchecked capitalism. But what to make of The Other Guys, featuring closing credits that are packed with statistics concerning government bailouts and the glaring discrepancy between the average salaries of CEOs and the rest of us poor schmucks? No matter: The film’s ample laughs had already dried up long before this ode to Michael Moore muckraking.

That’s a shame, because for its first hour, The Other Guys is a very funny movie, as two desk cops, Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg), are provided a chance to step up once New York’s finest, the dynamic duo of Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) and Danson (Dwayne Johnson), are put out of commission.

Humor largely vacates the building during the second half, as the emphasis is placed more on autopilot action sequences and, worse, a topical, torn–from–the–headlines scam that’s an ill – and dull – fit for this sort of raucous outing. CS

“Greater-Than Sudoku” For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not givin’ you ANY numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger. Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal Sudoku, every row, column, and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1’s and 9’s in each box first, then move on to the 2’s and 8’s, and so on). psychosudoku@hotmail.com

ARIES

(March 21–April 19) My friend Alana suffered from a mysterious ailment for months.

Symptoms included vertigo, stomach pains, and numbness in her legs. After being treated unsuccessfully by six health care practitioners, both mainstream and alternative, she went to see Dr. Ling, a Chinese herbalist recommended by a friend. Ling was a dour woman who made no eye contact. Her office was dingy, cramped, and windowless. Alana felt a bit depressed by the visit. Yet when she took Dr. Ling’s herbs, she felt better. In three weeks she was cured. The moral of the story, Aries: The restorative agent you need may not come in the most inviting form.

TAURUS

(April 20–May 20) A spider spun gorgeous cobwebs on my car’s back window.

Anchored on the window wiper, they’re artfully woven spiral tunnels decorated with white flower petals sent by the wind.

This sculpture is so beguiling that it caught the attention of a stranger who was walking through a parking lot as I was getting in my car, and we struck up a conversation that led to him inviting me to a party where I had maximum fun. So kudos to me for not mindlessly sweeping away the cobwebs. My decision to honor the spider’s small masterpiece proved fortuitous. I encourage you to learn from my example in the coming week.

GEMINI

(May 21–June 20) The band Tinariwen is from the Sahara Desert. Its members describe themselves as “soul rebels.” Their influences include traditional West African music, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and the Berber music of northern Algeria. I listen to them whenever I’m feeling wan and spiritually tired. Their infectious melodies and serpentine rhythms have a medicinal effect; they toughen me up, fueling the rowdy love I need to keep fighting for truth and justice. They’re your featured artist of the week, Gemini.

As you face down the dangers of apathy, you could use the shot of courage and audacity they might provide. Listen here: tinyurl. com/ToughSpirit1 and tinyurl.

com/ToughSpirit2.

CANCER

(June 21–July 22) Afghanistan is a wasteland of desert and rocks, right? Well, no, actually. It harbors huge deposits of minerals that are critical to the industrialized world.

There’s a complication, though.

To succeed, the arduous business of mining such minerals needs lots of water and electricity as well as political stability and a good infrastructure –– all of which are in short supply in Afghanistan. In offering this scenario for your consideration, Cancerian, I’m suggesting that you make a comparable re–evaluation of a certain situation in your own life. According to my reading of omens, someone or something you’ve considered barren harbor resources that are useful to you. Here’s the rub: Are you in position to get access to them? If not, what would it take to do so?

LEO

(July 23–Aug. 22) For years I’ve been in love with a woman who is also in love with me. Hooray! But when I was younger, I sometimes got embroiled in obsessive adorations for unavailable women.

One didn’t want me, another was already in a committed relationship, still another lived 6,000 miles away, and a fourth was a lesbian. The pain of those impossible attractions eventually prodded me to retrain myself so as to not keep repeating the pattern. Can I convince you to learn from my hardship?

According to my reading of the omens, the next few months should be a time when you put a strong emphasis on allies who are available, not on the other kind.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23–Sept. 22) I’ve been playing with a fun hypothesis lately: that absolutely everyone in the world has the power to heal someone else.

At one end of the spectrum are the doctors and shamans and therapists who can summon the means to cure lots of people.

At the other end are individuals with the power to improve the health or smooth out the distortions in just one other person. Wherever you fit in this

range, Virgo, I’m happy to tell you that your healing mojo is now at a peak. Please invoke it in all of its intensity and point it in the direction of whomever can benefit.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23–Oct. 22) As I studied the astrological configurations for you, I realized I had to leave the bubble of my office. The omens suggested that you would benefit from escaping your usual frames of reference, and I felt I had to do the same if I wanted to get the best oracle. So I hiked out to my favorite boulder, where the creek forks into two streams.

I sat down and addressed the spirits: What’s the advice Libras need most? Soon, a dragonfly landed on my shoulder. For the next ten minutes I asked it questions about how you should proceed. Here’s the gist of its telepathic message: “I gently shatter illusions. My power is graceful and lilting. I sew up the wounds of snakes. Nothing eludes my uninhibited vision.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23–Nov. 21) Of all the noses of all the famous actresses in the world, my favorite is Cate Blanchett’s. It’s strong and forceful, yet buoyant and irregular. It’s wider and fleshier than most noses that are considered “feminine,” but sensual and seductive. Best of all, it has so many different aspects, and looks so varied from a variety of angles, that it seems to shift its shape as you watch it. It’s gorgeous! Please take a cue from me as you evaluate the unacknowledged beauty in your own sphere, Scorpio. It’s crucial that you rebel against our culture’s generic standards.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

“The best guide in life is strength,” said Swami Vivekananda. “Discard everything that weakens you, have nothing to do with it.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Sagittarius, I’m making that your rallying cry. You not only have the right to align yourself with only the most potent, life–giving sources; you have an urgent need to do so. So be discerning as you evaluate each person and situation before you. Ask, “Will

this feed my vitality or not?”

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22–Jan. 19) What happens in your bedroom, Capricorn? What stories swirl around in your mind while you’re there? What secrets simmer and ferment? What feelings do you gravitate toward? Judging from the astrological omens, I’d say it’s time to expand your notion of what goes on in that sanctuary. How about embarking on a new playtime activity or introducing a pleasurable commotion you’ve never tried?

At the least, unleash your imagination. Give yourself permission to have bigger fantasies. Tell yourself more epic stories, develop a more active relationship with your secrets, and welcome unfamiliar feelings.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20–Feb. 18) Last May, riots in Santa Cruz, California trashed 18 buildings in the downtown area. But for one store owner, the mayhem brought unexpected blessings.

She was able to tap into a city fund that not only paid for her broken front window, but also allowed her to make several improvements, like adding fresh paint, a new awning, and better lighting. “I never would have thought when I got that call at 1 in the morning that this was going to turn into such a wonderful thing for us,” Diane Towns told the Santa Cruz Sentinel. I predict a similar progression for you, Aquarius. An event that seemed like bad luck at the time will ultimately lead to good luck.

PISCES

(Feb. 19–March 20) French painter Paul Cezanne (1839–1906) declared early in his career that he wanted to “conquer Paris with an apple.”

He meant that he wanted to become a major force in the art world by revolutionizing the way that still–life paintings were done. He must have been successful, because two prominent modern painters, Picasso and Matisse, referred to Cezanne as “the father of us all.” Your assignment in coming months, Pisces, is to make a splash in your chosen field with an innovation that’s as simple and basic as Cezanne’s reconfigured apple.
