The investigating officer in charge of Bradley Manning’s case has recommended that Manning be prosecuted on 22 counts for leaking secret documents to WikiLeaks. The charges include “aiding the enemy,” though supporters of Manning point out that the leaked documents do not pose a threat to National Security. Who knew a leak could be so dangerous?

s MOVIE | THE GREY | JANUARY 27

Liam Neeson is now fighting wolves. Seriously. The Schindler’s List actor turned action-hero stars in The Grey, a movie about a group of rugged oilrig workers whose plane crashes miles from civilization and must fight hunger, the elements, and a pack of hungry, hungry wolves. If anything, this movie will be good for Neeson kicking nature’s ass.

84 members of a species of giant Galapagos Tortoise once thought to be extinct have been discovered on Isabela Island in the Galapagos.

The tortoises were (almost) wiped out by poachers in the 1840’s. Now we can all stop worrying and got on with our lives.

Clear the way for endless “Destiny’s Child” jokes! Beyonce and Jay-Z’s spawn is finally among us! Blue Ivy Carter was born on January 7th, and within a week of her birth, Jay-Z released his single “Glory” which sampled from Baby Blue’s first cries after being born. That’s somewhat cute, and also creepy!

Maybe it’s just us, but we were pretty sure that you can’t ever throw a Nazi-themed party and actually have friends. Apparently, we were wrong. During a ski retreat in France last month, a few students from the London School of Economics thought it might be fun to play Nazithemed drinking games. There were Jewish students in attendance, and when one objected to the nature of the game, they ended up with a broken nose. Ugh, can’t we just get cryogenically frozen until smarter and better people are born? This is ridiculous.

If you don’t live in South Carolina, you haven’t had to deal with the onslaught of negative campaign ads. These ads are created and funded

by SuperPACs, which use their humungous and bloated resources to support one candidate. In response, the Stewart-Colbert coalition of awesomeness has created their own SuperPAC, “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow.”

Their PAC has been running negative campaign ads that highlight the ridiculousness of SuperPACs themselves.Real SuperPACs use their humungous pocketbooks to fund negative ads that attack the candidate they decide they don’t like. Supporters of the GOP candidates have bought up tons of airtime – so much, in fact, that SuperPAC spending on candidates is more than double actual campaign spending. Sometimes, though, these ads go too far: Gingrich was recently embarrassed when a SuperPAC that supported him ran a false claim about Romney, causing huge amounts of backlash. Strange, is it not, that these billionaires are actually helping to hurt their favorite candidates?

Interview with

By Raïssa Huntley

After watching the clips on your website of you performing some of your illustrated books (which Buffalo audiences will get to see during your Big Slide Show), it looks as though you are building the story after the images that you find. To what degree do you let the images dictate the story?

CHG: The live aspects of the shows are not to be underestimated. This is a large part of how I bring audiences in to the theater and a majority of how I recoup is by what is charged for the live show and what I make from selling the books after the shows.

For “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show” I perform a one hour dramatic narration of eight different books I have made over the years. The books are taken from old books from the 1800’s that have been changed in to different books from what they originally were. They are heavily illustrated with original drawings and reworked images and photographs.

I started making my books in 1983 for my own enjoyment without the concept of publishing them. I had always written and drawn and the books came as an accidental outgrowth of that. I was in an acting class in 1982 and down the block was an art gallery that had a book store upstairs. In the book store there was a book for sale that was an old binding taken from the 1800’s and someone had put their art work inside the binding. I thought this was a good idea and set out to do the same thing. I worked a lot with India ink at the time and was using the India ink on the original pages to make various art. I had always liked words in art and left 8 | interview

some of the words on one of the pages. I did this again a few pages later and then when I turned the pages I noticed that a story started to naturally form and so I continued with this. When I was finished with the book I was pleased with the results and kept making more of them. I made most of the books in the 80’s and very early 90’s. Some of the books utilize text from the binding it was taken from and some of them are basically completely original text. Sometimes I would find images that I was inspired to create stories for or sometimes it was the binding or sometimes it was portions of the texts that were interesting. Altogether, I made about twenty of them. When I was editing my first feature film What Is It? there was a reminiscent quality to the way I worked with the books because as I was expanding the film in to a feature from what was originally going to be a short, I was taking film material that I had shot for a different purpose originally and re-purposed it for a different idea and I was writing and shooting and ultimately editing at the same time. Somehow I was comfortable with this because of similar experiences with making my books.

When I first started publishing the books in 1988 people said I should have book readings. But the books are so heavily illustrated and the way the illustrations are used within the books help to tell the story so the only way for the books to make sense was to have visually representations of the images. This is why I knew a slide show was necessary. It took a while but in 1992 I started performing what I now call “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Side Show Part 1.” The content of that show has not changed since I first started performing it. But the performance of the show has become more dramatic as opposed to more of a reading. The books do not change but the performance of the show of course varies slightly from show to show based the audience’s energy and my energy.

People sometimes get confused as to what “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show (Parts 1&2)” is so I always let it be known that it is a one hour dramatic narration of eight different profusely illustrated books that I have made over the years.

The illustrations from the books are projected behind me as I perform the show.

There is a second slide show now that also has 8 books. Part 2 is performed if I

have a show with Part 1 of the “IT” trilogy and then on the subsequent night I will perform the second slide show and Part 2 of the “IT” trilogy. The second slide show has been developed over the last several years and the content has changed as it has been developed, but I am very happy with the content of the second slide show now.

The fact that I tour with the film helps the distribution element. I consider what I am doing to be following in the steps of vaudeville performers. Vaudeville was the main form of entertainment for most of the history of the US. It has only recently stopped being the main source of entertainment, but that does not mean this live element mixed with other media is no longer viable. In fact it is apparent that it is sorely missed.

I definitely have been aware of the element of utilizing the fact that I am known from work in corporate media I have done in the last 25 years or so. This is something I rely on for when I go on tour with my films. It lets me go to various places and have the local media cover the fact that I will be performing a one hour live dramatic narration of eight different books which are profusely illustrated and projected as I go through them, then show the film either What is it? being 72 minutes or It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE being 74 minutes. Then having a Q and A and a book signing. As I funded the films I knew that this is how I would recoup my investment even if it a slow process.

Volcanic Eruptions was a business I started in Los Angeles in 1988 as Crispin Hellion Glover doing business as Volcanic Eruptions. It was a name to use for my book publishing company. About a year later I had a record/CD come out with a corporation called Restless Records. About when I had sold the same amount of books as CD/records had sold it was very clear to me that because I had published my own books that I had a far greater profit margin. It made me very suspicious of working with corporations as a business model. Financing/ Producing my own films is based on the basic business model of my own publishing company. There are benefits and drawbacks about self distributing my own films. In this economy it seems like touring with the live show and showing the films with a book signing is a very good

basic safety net for recouping the money I have invested in the films.

There are other beneficial aspects of touring with the shows other than monetary elements.

I am in control of the distribution and personally supervise the monetary intake of the films that I am touring with. I also control piracy in this way because digital copy of this film is stolen material and highly prosecutable. It is enjoyable to travel and visit places, meet people, perform the shows and have interaction with the audiences and discussions about the films afterwards. The forum after the show is also not to be under-estimated as a very important part of the show for for the audience. This also makes me much more personally grateful to the individuals who come to my shows as there is no corporate intermediary. The drawbacks are that a significant amount of time and energy to promote and travel and perform the shows. Also the amount of people seeing the films is much smaller than if I were to distribute the films in a more traditional sense.

The way I distribute my films is certainly not traditional in the contemporary sense of film distribution but perhaps is very traditional when looking further back at vaudeville era film distribution. If there are any filmmakers that are able to utilize aspects of what I am doing then that is good. It has taken many years to organically develop what I am doing now as far as my distribution goes.

The word “it”, so vacuous, possible and unsatisfying, seems central to your work. When Letterman asked you to “explain yourself”, you said, “it’s selfexplanatory… if you say what it is it’s not interesting.” Can you elaborate on the importance of “it”?

CHG: 1 - that one —used as subject or direct object or indirect object of a verb or object of a preposition usually in reference to a lifeless thing <took a quick look at the house and noticed it was very old>, a plant <there is a rosebush near the fence and it is now blooming>, a person or animal whose sex is unknown or disregarded <don’t know who it is>, a group of individuals or things, or an abstract entity <beauty is everywhere and it is a source of joy> — compare he, its, she, they ubgeneration.com

2 - used as subject of an impersonal verb that expresses a condition or action without reference to an agent <it is raining> 3 a - used as anticipatory subject or object of a verb <it is necessary to repeat the whole thing> ; often used to shift emphasis to a part of a statement other than the subject <it was in this city that the treaty was signed> 3 b - used with many verbs as a direct object with little or no meaning <footed it back to camp> 4 - used to refer to an explicit or implicit state of affairs or circumstances <how is it going> 5 - a crucial or climactic point <this is it> Origin of IT Middle English, from Old English hit First Known Use: before 12th century The unexplained “it” in your work and the tension your film audiences experience remind me of David Wilson’s Museum of Jurassic Technology. Wilson says that the most creative space for the human mind is the area between belief and disbelief. Is there a productive point of uncertainty or unease for your audiences?

CHG: I like the Museum of Jurassic Technology. I am not sure if the most creative space in the human mind is between belief and disbelief or not, but I do like that museum. Both What is it? and It is fine!

EVERYTHING IS FINE. have elements of uncertainty and unease.

I am very careful to make it quite clear that What is it? is not a film about Down Syndrome but my psychological reaction to the corporate restraints that have happened in the last 20 to 30 years in film making. Specifically anything that can possibly make an audience uncomfortable is necessarily excised or the film will not be corporately funded or distributed.

This is damaging to the culture because it is the very moment when an audience member sits back in their chair and looks up at the screen and thinks to themself: “Is this right what I am watching? Is this wrong what I am watching? Should I be here? Should the filmmaker have made this? What is it?” - and that is the title of the film. What is it that is taboo in the culture? What does it mean that taboo has been ubiquitously excised in this culture’s media? What does it mean to the culture when it does not properly process taboo in it’s media? It is a bad thing when questions are not being asked because these kinds of questions are when people are having a truly educational experience. For the culture to not be able to ask questions leads towards a non educational experience and that is what is happening ubgeneration.com

in this culture. This stupefies this culture and that is of course a bad thing. So What is it? Is a direct reaction to the contents this culture’s media. I would like people to think for themselves.

Steven C. Stewart wrote and is the main actor in part two of the trilogy titled It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE. I put Steve in to the cast of “What is it?” because he had written this screenplay which I read in 1987. When I turned What is it? from a short film in to a feature I realized there were certain thematic elements in the film that related to what Steven C. Stewart’s screenplay dealt with. Steve had been locked in a nursing home for about ten years when his mother died. He had been born with a severe case of cerebral palsy and he was very difficult to understand.

People that were caring for him in the nursing home would derisively call him an “M.R.” short for “Mental Retard”. This is not a nice thing to say to anyone, but Steve was of normal intelligence. When he did get out he wrote his screenplay. Although it is written in the genre of a murder detective thriller truths of his own existence come through much more clearly than if he had written it as a standard autobiography. As I have stated, I put Steven C. Stewart in to What is it? When I turned What is it? in to a feature film. Originally What is it? Was going to be a short film to promote the concept to corporate film funding entities that working with a cast wherein most characters are played by actors with Down Syndrome. Steve had written his screenplay in the late 1970’s. I read it in 1987 and as soon as I had read it I knew I had to produce the film. Steven C. Stewart died within a month after we finished shooting the film. Cerebral palsy is not generative but Steve was 62 when we shot the film. One of Steve’s lungs had collapsed because he had started choking on his own saliva and he got pneumonia. I specifically started funding my own films with the money I make from the films I act in when Steven C. Stewart’s lung collapsed in the year 2000 this was around the same time that the first Charlie’s Angels film was coming to me. I realized with the money I made from that film I could put straight in to the Steven C. Stewart film. That is exactly what happened. I finished acting in Charlie’s Angels and then went to Salt Lake City where Steven C. Stewart lived. I met with Steve and David Brothers with whom I co-directed the film. I went back to LA and acted in a lower budget film for about five weeks and David Brothers started building the sets. Then I went straight back to Salt Lake and we completed shooting the film within about six months in three separate smaller productions. Then Steve died within a month after we finished shoot-

ing. I am relieved to have gotten this film finally completed because ever since I read the screenplay in 1987 I knew I had to produce the film and also produce it correctly. I would not have felt right about myself if I had not gotten Steve’s film made, I would have felt that I had done something wrong and that I had actually done a bad thing if I had not gotten it made. So I am greatly relieved to have completed it especially since I am very pleased with how well the film has turned out. We shot It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE while I was still completing What is it? And this is partly why What is it? took a long time to complete. I am very proud of the film as I am of What is it? I feel It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE will probably be the best film I will have anything to do with in my entire career. People who are interested in when I will be back should join up on the e mail list at CrispinGlover. com as they will be emailed with information as to where I will be where with whatever film I tour with. It is by far the best way to know how to see the films.

After Charlie’s Angels came out it did very well financially and was good for my acting career. I started getting better roles that also paid better and I could continue using that money to finance my films that I am so truly passionate about. I have been able to divorce myself from the content of the films that I act in and look at acting as a craft I am helping other filmmakers to accomplish what it is that they want to do. Usually filmmakers have hired me because there is something they have felt would be interesting to accomplish with using me in their film and usually I can try to do something interesting as an actor. If for some reason the director is not truly interested in doing something that I find interesting with the character then I can console myself that with the money I am making to be in their production I can help to fund my own films that I am so truly passionate about. Usually I feel as though I am able to get something across as an actor that I feel good about. It has worked out well.

If you were asked to develop an educational model for children using this kind of productive indeterminacy - what would it look like?

CHG: I’m not sure that teaching most children the complexities of philosophic indeterminacy would make sense. I went to an advanced academic school from first to ninth grade and am pleased with the sort of education I received, but indeterminacy did not come up, at least not as a subject matter or style of education that I would broadly determine as indeterminacy. It seems more like indeterminacy as a subject of study or even way of study would come up for a person individually with their own education or something they would continue in later education, but I may not be understanding the question properly.

Can you tell us anything about the third part of your film trilogy?

CHG: I should not go in to detail for IT IS MINE yet and I will not shoot that next.

There are other projects outside of the trilogy that I will shoot next. The Czech Republic is another culture and another language and I need to build up to complex productions like What is it? and the existing sequel It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE. IT IS MINE is an even more complex project than those two films were so it will be a while yet for that production. I will step outside of the trilogy for a number of films that deal with different thematic elements.

The sets for my next film productions have started construction. At the same time the sets are being built I am in the process of continuing to develop the screenplay for myself and my father to act in together on these very sets. He is also an actor and that is the next film I am planning to make as a director/producer. This will be the first role I write for myself to act in that will be written as an acting role as opposed to a role that was written for the character I play to merely serve the structure. But even on some level I am writing the screenplay to be something that I can afford to make. There are two other projects I am currently developing to shoot on sets at my property in the Czech Republic. The cost of the set building will determine which one I actually shoot next.

They will all be relatively affordable yet still cinematically pleasing.

I

t may be redundant to feature an article that focuses on this year’s zany winter weather, but the implications of the madness have become more and more important. If you’ve been around for the past month and a half, or even if you haven’t, you probably have noticed that something very strange is happening to our city. Winter has been downright bearable. Temperatures are balmy, snow is a rarity, and you can still hear birds chirping throughout the day. This behavior is downright bizarre, and for some, punishable. Skiers, sledders, and polar bears can be heard grumbling about the mysterious winter that has offered them little fun. Has winter in Buffalo been lost? Will they need to move (further) north?

Up until last week, the weather in Buffalo was more characteristic of March than January: temperatures were high and snow melted by noon.

Instead of Lake Effect Snow warnings and school closings, residents woke up day after day to sun and above-freezing temperatures. Granted, on Friday, January 13, we got a taste of winter again and the first week of classes was cold and windy. But by the time this article is published, it’s predicted that we will again have temperatures in the 40s.

After Christmas, I joined my family in Ellicottville with the hopes of getting in some sort of winter activity that had been absent from home in Amherst. Instead, I came to find the town completely deserted, devoid of snow, ice, and people—a sight uncharacteristic for this winter wonderland. Lodges, hotels, and ski resorts had seen little tourist traffic and it was already almost January. The Black Dog Lodge, where we stayed, only had bookings for two days in advance when they usually had bookings for weeks beforehand. Ellicottville, ripe with skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, whatever, could always rely on the winter months to bring in tourist revenue. Instead, the winter weather (or

10 | cover story

lack thereof) kept Ellicottville’s usual visitors away.

Things have definitely started picking up again in the Southtowns—there’s more snow and cold temperatures hitting that region of New York. But Buffalo has still remained relatively dry, with the exception of some snow last week (and perhaps some after we went to print, which is actually predicted to melt by the time the magazine is in your hands). Lake Erie still hasn’t frozen over, which still leaves the city open to Lake Effect Snow. It only seems a matter of time before we’re ambushed, but will snow ever really come?

The lack of ice on Lake Erie has also had some serious economic implications for Western New York: the Labatt Blue Pond Hockey tournament had to change to a street hockey tournament. The tournament, which brings in competitors from all over the country, doesn’t expect Lake Erie to freeze over by its start date of February 10, another kick to the groin for lovers of winter. Labatt Blue, which sponsors the tournament, has given back thousands of dollars to teams, allowing them to play for free as a sort of apology for the poor weather. In a press release by Labatt Blue’s brand manager Brett Carlsen stated: “Mother Nature certainly hasn’t cooperated with us this year, but we didn’t want to let that stop us from putting on a great hockey tournament.” The company decided to keep the tournament running even without a frozen Lake Erie because other alternatives such as date changes and cancellations were costly to the community. Without the tournament, local restaurants and hotels would lose out on tourist profit.

Buffalo’s other big winter event, Winterfest and the Powder Keg festival, made changes earlier this year that may help it succeed without any major weather-related hiccups. For one, the festival

moved its location away from the Arena and Skyway and to Niagara square. This means that the festival will no longer offer sledding on the Skyway, but if there is no snow on the Skyway anyway, there will be no major loss for festival-goers.

This festival is less reliant on the weather because vendors and activities make it a success. Indeed, if the temperatures are right around freezing, there may be more people willing to brave the outdoors than if there were a blizzard or if temperatures got down below zero.

Other places across the state are dealing with the wacky weather. Even Syracuse, which traditionally receives more snow than Buffalo, had less than a foot at the beginning of January. Compare that to last year, when the city had over one hundred inches of snow through the middle of January, and one has to wonder what is going on with our (sometimes) beloved winter.

But it isn’t just affecting New York. Across the country and world, cities are reporting unusually warm temperatures and dry weather, meaning that little snow is reaching places it usually does. In Minnesota, residents can go outside in mid-January without socks, hats, gloves, parkas, etc. and hear the birds chirping. In Wisconsin, you can still see dandelions. Dandelions! Europe has been equally affected by warm, dry winter days. How can winter just not happen on two major continents?

Okay, okay. Some of you may actually like the fact that you don’t have to go outside without forty thousand layers of clothing. I certainly don’t miss scraping off my car while the wind blows snow and slush into my face. But at the same time… the weather is just strange, foreboding. Maybe it’s a sign from somewhere, beyond, that 2012 is the end of the world. Maybe it is a sign of climate change and global warming. Or maybe it’s a fluke. ubgeneration.com

Scientists and meteorologists are trying to explain the strange January weather, and while they can’t be sure whether this is a result of climate change, they agree on one thing: the strange weather has been caused by two atmospheric pressure patterns.

These two patterns, the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) help to influence the direction and power of the jet stream. Since I’m not a scientist, I’ll let the Scientific American explain a little bit about what the jet stream and Oscillations do:

very long at all; in fact, the jet stream moved south quickly and stayed there for the duration of winter.

Over the past six years, the jet stream has been totally unpredictable, serving up some of the most extreme weather conditions; two of the driest and wettest winters on record have occurred since 2005.

The unpredictability of the jet stream means that winters across the world will be varied and erratic.

Atmospheric changes could account for this bizarre behavior, though scientists are not in agreement on the cause of the changes in the jet stream. Some say that it could have something to do with the melting “The jet itself is an air current that flows west to east of polar ice caps, which has everything to do with across the northern latitudes of the U.S., Europe and global warming. Other scientists place the blame on Asia, altering temperature and precipitation as por- the activity of sunspots, which has been much hightions of it dip southward or crest northward.
