THE BULLHORN

Numb and Numbers 0G <=@;/< A=:=;=<

P

LAYWRIGHT Lillian Hellman once said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashions.â&#x20AC;? The statement was in a letter to the House Un-American Activities Committee. The year was 1952. We tell ourselves that the McCarthy era was vastly different than our ownâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but what about the political fashions of 2010?

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashions cut mean figures on Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runways. Conformities lie, and people die.

While the escalating disaster of war in Afghanistan keeps setting deadly blazes, the few anti-war voices on Capitol Hill usually sound like people whispering â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire!â&#x20AC;?

In 2010, this is what the warfare state looks like: a largely numbed state, mainlining anesthetics that induce routine torpor. In that context, the conformity of mild dissent is apt to be mistaken for outspoken moral acuity.

On the back of an envelope, or anywhere else, check this math: $1,000,000 x 100,000 = $100,000,000,000. In round flat numbers, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cost of deploying 100,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan for one yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;$100 billion. The initial â&#x20AC;&#x153;costâ&#x20AC;? includes none of the human consequences.

In a numbed process, filtered through media and political buzz phrases, we talk about one number, then another. Numb and number.

For domestic acceptance, a far-off war depends on the pumped-up anesthetics of verbal abstractions and hollow numbers, permeating news media and political discourse. Wooden words and figures, bolted together; every number a lie when wrenched into claiming to tell a human truth.

The number we get, the farther from warfareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human consequences. While more lives are being shattered elsewhere, conscience hems and haws to fit this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashions.

When Martin Luther King Jr. gave his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond Vietnamâ&#x20AC;? speech on April 4, 1967, he told listeners that he had moved during the course of two years, finally, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to break the betrayal of my own silences and to speak from the burnings of my own heart.â&#x20AC;?

At the podium of Riverside Church in New York City, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice.â&#x20AC;?

Dr. King noted that the human spirit has â&#x20AC;&#x153;great difficultyâ&#x20AC;? moving against â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the apathy of conformist thought within oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own bosom and in the surrounding world.â&#x20AC;?

In his own way, King was saying what Hellman had said 15 years earlier when she declared herself unwilling to â&#x20AC;&#x153;cut my conscience to fit this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashions.â&#x20AC;?

This year, with the escalating occupation of Afghanistan widely believed to be on automatic policy pilot, conscience is fashionably cloaked with acquiescence.

Many in Congress who say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support the war keep voting to fund itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and keep their voices muffled. The brandished wrath of the House Speaker or the White House chief of staff is most effective as a pre-emptive club.

A dozen years after Hellman defied HUAC, a senator defied the fearful conformity of 1964. Seeing the escalation of the Vietnam War on the near horizon, Wayne Morse spoke truth toâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;power. The contrast with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liberal baseline on Capitol Hill is painfully evident if you watch footage of Sen. Morse for two minutes.

Norman Solomon is national co-chair of the Healthcare Not Warfare campaign, launched by Progressive Democrats of America. His books include â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Deathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; www.normansolomon.com.

A Salmon Season Without Salmon?

O

N April 15, the Pacific Fishery Management Council decided at its Portland meeting to extend the recreational salmon season, which opened April 3, until Sept. 6. The decision comes as an unpleasant surprise to many California fishermen, some of whom would prefer to see salmon fishing prohibited for at least the rest of the year following the poor return of spawning adults to the Sacramento River last fall. The council, a 14-member group comprised of selected recreational fishermen, commercial fishermen and government biologists, also voted to allow a limited 2010 commercial salmon seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about eight days in July.

Some party boat skippers and commercial boat operators have said they disapprove of the decision to allow fishing this year but say they will fish reluctantly by client and customer demand.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they open the season, we have to go,â&#x20AC;? said Johnny Atkinson, who owns and operates New Rayann, a party boat based in Sausalito. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather see the numbers return in the river.

Even if there are 245,000 salmon out there like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather see every one of those 245,000 salmon spawn.â&#x20AC;?

Ed Zoliniak, an exâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;party boat captain in Santa Cruz who â&#x20AC;&#x153;threw in the towelâ&#x20AC;? just a week ago when he sold his vessel, also believes the council should not have reopened the fishing season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have voted for another full closure,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be a whole lot of fish out there.

Last year they closed it after 66,000 fish spawned. This fall we got 39,000 and they opened the season. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Alastair Bland

The Good Energy People

A

NYONE who sat in on the first event of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nextâ&#x20AC;? lecture series back in February knows it offered an entertaining and provocative look at a green, humanitarian-minded future that is materializing with breathtaking speed. The combination of big-picture thinking and practical experience made for excellent chemistry onstage, and the crowd ate it up.

Continuing the series co-hosted

by NextSpace, UCSC and the city of Santa Cruz is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Innovations in Energy: New Sources, Crucial Savings and How Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Finance It.â&#x20AC;? Guests are Dr. James Sweeney, director of Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Precourt Energy Efficiency Center; Daniel Shugar, CEO of

Solaria Corporation; and Paul Rogers, environmental writer for the San Jose Mercury News.

While Sweeney discusses the rapidly evolving clean energy policy landscape, Shugar, a solar industry veteran who saw revenue leap from $1 million to $800 million during his tenure at PowerLight and SunPower, will talk about the opportunities in the clean energy sector. Rogers will moderate. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Traci Hukill

The Power To Heal Once again, scientists are studying psychedelicsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this time for clues on how they might help cure mental illness 0G 83AA71/ 4@=;;

T

HE first ceremony begins at dark. The participants come into the octagon spiritual room in the middle of the Amazon rainforest.

They sit in a circle and state their intentions about what they want out of the ceremony. The more specific the question they want answered, the better.

The doses of ayahuasca are handed out in small cups. Everyone drinks it together, most wincing at the acrid taste that has been likened to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the entire jungle ground up and mixed with bile.â&#x20AC;? As soft tribal music plays in the background, everyone lies down. They focus their attention and wait.

Ayahuasca is not the kind of psychedelic that one takes to go dancing at a party. A tea derived from two vines that grow in the Amazon jungle, this powerful psychoactive causes intense nausea in most people. It also catapults its users into an intense, introspective psychedelic experience that many feel is capable of curing addiction, anxiety and depressionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or just healing past trauma.

Lakshmi Narayan, a Santa Cruz businesswoman who was introduced to ayahuasca years ago in Peru, describes it as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;powerful but gentleâ&#x20AC;? experience that helped her recover from the pain of her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a wound I had no way of healing, it was so big and powerful,â&#x20AC;? she says. After a hallucinogenic experience of several hours during which she was visited by the image of her father, she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had nothing left to heal.â&#x20AC;? ¨ #

Over the last decade, ayahuasca has become a favorite among the psychedelic community. Also called yage, it is the very same plant that the beat writer William S. Burroughs sought out while corresponding with poet Allen Ginsberg in The Yage Letters.

Since the 1990s, there has been an upswing in the establishment of neoshamanic retreats in Brazil, Peru and Ecuador. More and more Westerners are traveling to South America with the intent of undergoing these psychedelic experiences for personal growth and healing.

Long used by natives in the Amazon basin for healing and divination, ayahuascaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the active ingredient of which is dimethyltryptamine (DMT)â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can currently only be used in the United States by members of the UniĂŁo do Vegetal (UDV) and Santo Daime churches, both of which have won Supreme Court battles in the last three years.

But a growing body of research is examining the use of ayahuasca and other psychedelic drugs for healing purposes. After decades of social marginalization and governmental suppression, a renaissance is going on in the world of psychedelic research. In 2010, there are as many research projects on mind-altering drugs going on as there were in the late 1960s, before the U.S. government started cracking down on them.

Last week Deborah Quevedo, who has attended more than 50 ceremonies in South America, presented her own graduate-school research on ayahuasca at a conference hosted by the Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;

based Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a nonprofit committed to mainstreaming the medical use of psychedelic drugs. Called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Psychedelic Science in the 21st Century,â&#x20AC;? the San Jose conference was the biggest international psychedelic science gathering in almost two decades.

Quevedo, who with her husband has worked for decades in the fields of holistic and alternative healing at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor Hospital in San Jose, Stanford University Medical Center and UCSF Medical Center, says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard reports about ayahuasca being effective in the treatment of addictions.

The Quevedos made their first trip to a Brazilian ayahuasca retreat in 2001 to experience the drug themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really life-changing for me,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had never had any experience with any mind-altering substances before, so it was all new and very expansive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came home from that retreat when I was starting a Ph.D. I basically spent the next six years of my graduate school trying to figure out what had happened to me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really glad people are recognizing what a tool it is for our own evolution,â&#x20AC;? says Narayan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something very feminine about ayahuasca. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of what the world needs, is more feminine energy.â&#x20AC;?

1=D3@ AB=@G j B63 >=E3@ B= 63/: used certain drugs â&#x20AC;&#x153;to allow them to transcend their human and ego boundaries, to feel greater contact with the supernatural, or with the spiritual, or with the divine, however they phrase it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drugs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have spiritual potential,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;human beings have spiritual potential. And it may be that we need techniques to move us in that direction, and the use of psychoactive drugs clearly is one path that has helped many people.â&#x20AC;?

Weil was a colleague of Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert at Harvard, where the three men rocked academia with their studies. At that time, LSD was legal, but that changed quickly. After a brief public debate about its potential merits, LSD was outlawed in 1966.

Leary, who had by then become â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Psychedelic Messiah,â&#x20AC;? was not surprised by the development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effect of consciousness-expanding drugs will be to transform our concepts of human nature, of human potentialities, of existence,â&#x20AC;? Leary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These possibilities naturally threaten every branch of the establishment. The dangers of external change appear to frighten us less than the peril of internal change. LSD is more frightening than the Bomb!â&#x20AC;?

Leary continued crusading for psychedelics, organizing events like the 1977 psychedelics conference at UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Santa Cruz, the first to be held at a university. Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey and LSD pioneer Albert Hofmann attended.

Having learned from the mistakes of the acidheads of that era, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychedelic community might be better prepared to deal with some of the most powerful substances on earth, even as they discover further evidence of that power and try to harness it to cure persistent ills.

There are promising studies under way around the world into the use of psilocybin for cancer patients, MDMA (ecstasy) for autism and Aspergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome, ibogaine for addiction and LSD-assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of anxiety associated with terminal illness. Still, MAPS and the broader psychedelic community arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out of the woods yet. It took the researchers at MAPS five years of fighting and navigating the bureaucracy of the Drug Enforcement Agency and Food and Drug Administration to get their most recent, and influential, study under way.

Michael Mithoeferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-1/2-year, $2.2 million trial study into the use

of MDMA in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was the first legal pilot study of its kind in the United States in decades and has been widely hailed by the medical community as a breakthrough in psychedelic research.

Despite the DEA putting up roadblocks at every turn, Mithoeferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MAPS-funded research will be expanding this summer into the MDMA treatment of Iraq war veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; PTSD.

In 2010, there are as many research projects on mind-altering drugs going on as there were in the late 1960s, before the U.S. government started cracking down on them

Brian Anderson, a Stanford University medical student, says he has seen evidence that ayahuasca â&#x20AC;&#x153;really worksâ&#x20AC;? in the treatment of addiction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a lot of other medical professionals are starting to reach into this literature,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They say this is a good reason we should investigate these substances in controlled trials, in a more medical setting here in North America.â&#x20AC;?

Randolph Hencken, MAPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; director of communication, says it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a Brazilian vine but an African shrub that cured his addictions.

pissed off my friends. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like myself anymore, but it was easier to keep using heroin.â&#x20AC;?

After he tried 12-step programs and methadone clinics, Hencken heard about ibogaine. While it has a long history of use in African spiritual rituals, there is also a large international underground movement of people using the drug to treat addiction. Desperate, Hencken made the trip down to Mexico City in 2001 to take capsules of the drug with a doctor (ibogaine is currently illegal in the United States). â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a fun trip,â&#x20AC;? Hencken says.

For more than 24 hours he experienced ataxia, rendering him unable to move as the substanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychoactive effects took hold, bringing with it visions from throughout his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I had any epiphanies that day,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it did stir up all these things I was suppressing about my childhood that were interrelated as to why I was a drug addict.â&#x20AC;?

Hencken says he has been clean for nine years. Since then he has earned degrees from San Diego State University and is dedicated to spreading the word about alternative drugs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting through something that is so mentally tough, I think gave me some strength,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It made me confident that if I could get through that, then I can stay away from using heroin.â&#x20AC;?

Demon Dots If human beings are set apart by their ability to design and use tools, then, in a way, psychedelic drugs are a

form of technology. Whether they be synthetically synthesized substances like MDMA or LSD or naturally occurring drugs like psilocybin and mescaline, psychedelics can be viewed as a tool for the brain to be able to tune into diverse states of consciousness.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a fun trip, but it did stir up all these things I was suppressing that were interrelated as to why I was a drug addictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Considering the extraordinary power of psychedelic drugs, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not shocking that when LSD and other mindaltering substances first appeared in the mainstream in the 1960s, some people were terrified.

1=D3@ AB=@G j B63 >=E3@ B= 63/: acid, an amount that could fit onto the head of a pin, can launch a person into a full-blown psychedelic experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we often hear from the media is that psychedelics will bring out your demons and make you go crazy,â&#x20AC;? Hencken says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you schizophrenia or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll jump off the roofâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;things that have only really happened to a very few people. I think the bulk of people, if they have these experiences and do them in the right setting, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find them to be very beneficial to their lives.â&#x20AC;?

As an organization, MAPS would like to see psychedelics accepted to the point that they can be administered safely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I first did psychedelics when I was in high school, and I remember friends taking friends to go tripping

in a graveyard,â&#x20AC;? Hencken says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a terrible place to go tripping. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opening yourself up to a situation where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see dead people, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to freak out. A lot of people choose terrible places to do these drugs for the first time.â&#x20AC;?

Hencken says that the bulk of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad tripsâ&#x20AC;? that people experience on psychedelics could be prevented if the drugs were regulated and the users were properly informed about how to conduct a safe trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ideally, MAPS would like to see a situation in the near future where people who are interested in these drugs can get honest information. Where they can get unadulterated, clean, safe drugs, and they can do them with a guide that understands the power of these things.â&#x20AC;? 0

This celebration of all things driven by internal combustion brings more than 2,000 driving, flying and working machines to the Half Moon Bay Airport. Sleek vintage autos and old military planes jostle for space with dirt bikes, Harleys, tractors, a Jetsons-inspired car that flies and a wide variety of eco-friendly Green Machines. And a tank. Oh, and an Amphicar (pictured). Sunday, April 25, 10amâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;4pm at Half Moon Bay Airport on Highway 1 five miles north of Highway 92. Tickets are $20 general/$10 ages 11â&#x20AC;&#x201C;17 and over 65/free kids 10 and under. 650.726.2328 `^ih!]VcYWV\h! XVcYaZh! h]dZh! hegVn iVch! XgV[ih!

109 min.) The Alice-like Coraline by Henry Selick, with its tiny locked chambers and prowling sardonic cat, still feels like magic. Tim Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alice in Wonderland is more of a fashion show and a forced march.

Screenwriter Linda Woolverton (Beauty

and the Beast) is sensibly trying to do a Wicked on the famous tale, complete with rivalry between witchy queens: the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) and the ghostly yet sugary White Queen (Anne Hathaway). The now 19-year-old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is meant to quest for good in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Underland,â&#x20AC;? a place she misremembered as Wonderland. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a helpless Burton fan, but the colors here arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t state of the art, and compared to Coralineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solitude and thoughtfulness the finale turns out to be familiar dragon slaying; ultimately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just Alice who has been here before.

110 min.) Sam Worthingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perseus saves Argos from a large and angry Kraken. A synthespian made completely out of Black Angus beef, Sam Worthington demonstrates his ability to suck every touch of humor in a movie, so that no matter how ridiculous things get no one laughs during his scenes. He passed on the risible coiffures endemic in director Louis Leterrierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of the ancient world, the land of a thousand fright wigs. Hairiest of them all is Liam Neesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zeus, in shiny tinfoil armor last seen in Excaliburâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;glittering 3-D eyesore like a f licker postcard. This glowing apparition stares down his evil brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes): nothing says â&#x20AC;&#x153;tensionâ&#x20AC;? like two furry, heavily mascaraed men giving each other the eye. Your kid will agree that any movie with Medusa in it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a total loss.

Her backstory is told

by Perseusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; guardian angel Io (Gemma Arterton); Arterton provides not only the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too-rare girlyaction, but Clashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one nod to the pathos of Ovid. Some respite by Mads Mikkelsen and Jason Flemyng. Bargainmatinee filler, heavily Cecil B. Demillized to make it all about the chastisement of a loving God on his impious people. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen more out of control paganism at a Unitarian potluck.

Roman Polanskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goodlooking thriller follows a British journalist (Ewan McGregor) hired to clean up the memoirs of a British prime minister (Pierce Brosnan) whose previous ghost writer has just turned up dead.

With Kim Cattrall as the PMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curvaceous chief of staff and Olivia Williams as his intellectual wife. (CW) B63 57@: E7B6 B63 2@/5=< B/BB==

(Unrated; 158 min.)

Stieg Larssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book is the hottest thing going in mysteries right now, and thankfully, director Niels Arden Oplev and screenwriters Nikolaj Arcel and Rasmus Heisterberg recognized that more important than any of the hype swirling around the book is the protagonist at its center, Lisbeth Salander. She is the girl with the dragon tattoo, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maybe the best fictional character to come around yet this century. Swedish actress Noomi Rapace is absolutely incredible in her ability to bring Lisbeth to life. She is a force of nature, pure and simple. Lisbeth is hired to dig up dirt on Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) but ends up helping him investigate the disappearance many years ago of Harriet, heiress to a creepy, feuding family of millionaires. Though it may use the U.S. title, the movie doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy away from the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrelenting critique of the violence that society allows men to perpetuate against women, and though the scenes with certain unsavory characters may have been cut down in number, they are still surprisingly graphic. Luckily, Lisbeth is womankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate revenge fantasy come trueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sooner or later, her boots are gonna walk all over absolutely everyone.

(SP) 5@33<03@5 (R; 107 min.) Writer/director Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale) is back with another character

study. A dysfunctional, emotionally unbalanced fortysomething in full-on midlife crisis, Greenberg (Ben Stiller), to be blunt, is an asshole. He makes the nearly two hours we spend with him an unpleasant, disquieting experience, but Baumbach wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it any other way.

Roger Greenberg, a one-time musician down on his luck, arrives in Los Angeles from New York City after a six-week stay in a mental institution.

He plans to house-sit for his more successful brother and his wife.

He strikes up a halting, hesitant relationship with his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal assistant, Florence Marr (Greta Gerwig). (MV) 6=B BC0 B7;3 ;/167<3 (R; 100

min.) Sublime, but not dainty. Due to a wormhole, observed by a hot tub repairman or a Time Lord or something (Chevy Chase), three idiots (Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and the ever soulful John Cusack) are transported back to their happier past at a ski resort in 1986. Accidentally transported with them is 24-year-old Jacob (the hilarious Clark Duke), a depressed middle-aged-man-intraining whose life may depend on the events of the night to come.

Certainly the funniest and grimiest film since The Hangover, but Hot Tub Time Machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editing is ruthless, almost to the point of resembling a comingattractions reel. Rather than looking like a frenzied mess, however, it is more like there was some brilliant four-hour version that was cut down to a ragged but right shape.

Director Steve Pink scripted High Fidelity; Cusack and Corddry do things here that you will still be laughing about 10 years from now: examples being Corddryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s violent unplugging of himself from a hospital bed or Cusackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monologue about the day life went

wrong for him, a tale as funny as the story in Gremlins about the Santa who ruined Christmas. (RvB) B63 8=<3A3A (R; 96 min.) A great idea, but it has no real twists or serious rage in it, and it strains to make the 90-minute mark. David Duchovnyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as ever, wistful, moony and vaguely hornyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is the father of a fake nuclear family dropped into an exclusive yet bland community. There, the only life that goes on takes place around the spa and the golf course. They stealthmarket products to the neighbors, and the locals are left to struggle to pay to â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep up with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joneses.â&#x20AC;?

Cast against type, Gary Cole is the tragic sucker next door, married to a venal Mary K.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;style saleswoman; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played by the muchmissed Glenn Headly, who does all the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedic heavy lifting.

The product placement director on The Joneses got a serious workout, too, so the cargostroking is nonstop even while the film seeks to criticize this epic

high-end consumerism.

Another problem is Demi Moore, once a concrete kitten, now a polyethylene cougar. Watching the emotions inch across her beautifully toned and lifeless face, one wishes they could have reunited Duchovny with Gillian Anderson for a different sort of team-up. Director Derrick Borte makes this luxury community out of the richest parts of suburban Atlanta and Spokane; the pale light and depressing ostentation add to the general bad mood induced by this indie.

(RvB) 9719 /AA (R; 117 min.)

Dave, a home-brewed costumed vigilante (Aaron Johnson), meets up with real professionals in the field: a Batman and Robinâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;esque father-anddaughter team (Nicolas Cage, and the excellent Chloe Moretz, who was the wise little girl in (500) Days of Summer).

Entertaining in parts, but director Matthew Vaughn has no feeling for the romance and mystery and vigilante lore: the movie has a

nasty fan-boy quality, a hermetic focus that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything beyond the purpose of beating bad guys bloody. Cage carries the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambiguity deftlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough of a serious comic book reader that he knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dreadful thing when a father bends his child to revenge.

Bloody-minded little girls (thank heaven for them) may like Moritz.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuts to call Kick-Ass the next Watchmen.

The slamming violence and the dullard noms de guerre these superheroes pick for themselves show a comic-book tradition at the end of a line. (RvB) B63 A31@3B =4 93::A (Unrated;

80 min.) Short but ravishing Irish cartoon about their national treasure, the Book of Kells, an 1800-year-old illuminated manuscript.

Young Brendan (voiced

by Evan McGuire) is a monk at his uncleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abbey at Kells in ninthcentury Meath. The merciless Viking raiders approach, but Brendan is more interested in the arrival of a fellow artist to the monastery:

the aged brother Aidan (Mick Lally), who carries with him the last treasure from his island of Iona: the book which later will be known as the Book of Kells. When Aidan sends the boy out into the wolf-haunted forest to seek pigments, the boy encounters a fairy named Aisling (Christen Mooney).

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stressed here is art as the hope of civilization, representing something more than life.The love of nature also radiates from this movie; directors Tomm Moore, Nora Twomey and the rest of the artists at Cartoon Saloon have indeed made something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful yet never airyfairy. (RvB) G=CB6 7< @3D=:B

(R; 90 min.) Michael Cera plays Nick Twisp in Miguel Artetaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternadate movie. Young Nick is a virgin in the leafier part of Oakland, and he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand it.

His momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend of the day, Jerry (Zach Galifianakis), has to leave town suddenly.

Jerry, Nick and the mom in question (Jean Smart) go vacationing at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Restless Axles,â&#x20AC;? a sad

trailer park by a lake.

There, Nick meets a girl who is too good to be real: Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), kept under lock and key by her parents. Nick is determined to get next to her at all costsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even if it means creating the identity of â&#x20AC;&#x153;François Dillinger,â&#x20AC;? a kind of Big Lots version of the breezy heel Belmondo played in Breathless.

Small-scale mayhem follows in Francoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wake. Based on a selfpublished novel by C.D. Payne, Youth in Revolt invokes numerous local sites, from Ukiah to Santa Cruz (though for budget reasons, the movie was shot in Louisiana and Michigan). The writing is so crisp that one ignores the incidents of dead air and the jokes that fail to build. Despite a nod to computers at the beginning, this is a film that carries out its scheme of rebel cool against a background of vinyl LPs, French New Wave references, pay telephones and a thinly veiled version of the book The Joy of Sex.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of April 21

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): Yes, I know that the bull is your totem animal. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to expand your repertoire, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ripe time for you to take on some of the attitudes of the king of beasts. Consider this. The naturalist and shaman Virginia Carper notes that lions have strong personalities but cooperate well. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re powerful as individuals but engage in constructive group dynamics. In many cultures, they have been symbols of nobility, dignity, and spiritual prowess. To adopt the lion as a protective guardian spirit builds oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to know and hunt down exactly what one wants.

Would you like more courage? Visualize your lion self.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): In 2011, I may do a tour of North America, performing my show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sacred Uproar.â&#x20AC;? But for the foreseeable future I need to shut up and listen. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make myself available to learn fresh truths I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even realize I need to know.

So, yeah, next year I might be ready to express the extroverted side of my personality in a celebration of self-expression. But for now I have a sacred duty to forget everything I supposedly believe in and gratefully shuck my self-importance. By the way, Gemini, everything I just described would be a good approach for you to consider taking in the next three weeks.

tattoo or shift your emphasis or transform a message anytime soon, Libra, I suggest putting a more positive and upbeat spin on itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;something akin to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winner Forever.â&#x20AC;?

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): In the Bering Strait, Russia and America are 2.5 miles apart. The International Date Line runs through the gap, meaning that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a day later on the Russian side than it is on the American. I suggest you identify a metaphorically similar place in your own life, Scorpio: a zone where two wildly different influences almost touch. According to my reading of the omens, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent time for you to foster more interaction and harmony between them.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): I have a group of colleagues who half-jokingly, half-sincerely refer to themselves as the Shamanic Hackers of Karmic Justice. The joking part of it is that the title is so overthe-top ostentatious that it keeps them from taking themselves too seriously. The sincere part is that they really do engage in shamanic work designed to help free their clients from complications generated by old mistakes. Since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering the season of adjustment and atonement, I asked them to do some corrective intervention in your behalf. They agreed, with one provision: that you aid and abet their work by doing what you can to liberate yourself from the consequences of wrong turns you made in the past.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): The Weekly World News reported that a blues singer sued his psychiatrist for turning him into a more cheerful person. Gloomy Gus Johnson claimed he was so thoroughly cured of his depression that he could no longer perform his dismal tales with mournful sincerity. His popularity declined as he lost fans who had become attached to his despondent persona. I suspect you may soon be arriving at a similar crossroads, Capricorn. Through the intervention of uplifting influences and outbreaks of benevolence, you will find it harder to cultivate a cynical attitude. Are you prepared to accept the consequences that may come from being deprived of some of your reasons to moan and groan? /?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Educational

sayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that you can never have too many friends? If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to re-evaluate your position. And if you do agree, then you should go out and get busy. According to my reading of the astrological omens, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to be extra lucky in attracting new connections and deepening existing alliances in the coming weeks. The friendships you strike up are likely to be unusually stimulating and especially productive. To take maximum advantage of the favorable cosmic rhythms, do whatever you can to spruce up your inner beauty.

specialist Dr. Howard Gardner believes I.Q. tests evaluate only a fraction of human intelligence. He describes eight different kinds of astuteness. They include the traditional measuresâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;being good at math and languageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as six others: being smart about music, the body, other people, oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own inner state, nature and spatiality (more here: bit.ly/Shrewd).

I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering a phase when you could dramatically enhance your intelligence about your own inner state.

Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to know yourself much, much better.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): I have compiled a set of four

>7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): South Carolina now

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Is it true what they

affirmations that I think will keep you on the right track in the coming weeks. Try saying them at least twice a day. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am cultivating Relaxed Alertness, because that will make me receptive to high-quality clues about how to proceed.â&#x20AC;? 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am expressing Casual Perfectionism, because that way I will thoroughly enjoy being excellent, and not stress about it.â&#x20AC;? 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am full of Diligent Indifference, working hard out of love for the work and not being attached to the outcome.â&#x20AC;? 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am practicing Serene Debauchery, because if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not manically obsessed with looking for opportunities to cut loose, those opportunities will present themselves to me with grace and frequency.â&#x20AC;?

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): The Great Wall of China is the largest human construction in the world, stretching for almost 3,900 miles. But contrary to legend, it is not visible from the moon. According to most astronauts, the Wall isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even visible from low Earth orbit. Keep this in mind as you carry out your assignment in the coming week, Virgo. First, imagine that your biggest obstacle is the size of the Great Wall of China. Second, imagine yourself soaring so high above it, so thoroughly beyond it, that it disappears. If performed regularly, I think this exercise will give you a new power to deal with your own personal Great Wall of China.

:70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): In the early 1990s, actors Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder were engaged to be married. In honor of their love, Depp got a tattoo that read â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winona Forever.â&#x20AC;? After the relationship fell apart, though, he had it altered to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wino Forever.â&#x20AC;?

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re faced with a comparable need to change a

requires subversive people to register with the state if they have the stated intention of overthrowing the government of the United States. I have no such goal, so I remain free to operate unlicensed in South Carolina. I am, however, participating in a movement to overthrow realityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or rather, the sour and crippled mass hallucination that is mistakenly called â&#x20AC;&#x153;reality.â&#x20AC;? This crusade requires no guns or political agitation, but is instead waged by the forces of the liberated imagination using words, music, and images to counteract those who paralyze and deaden the imagination. I invite you to join us. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering a phase when you may feel an almost ecstatic longing to free yourself from the delusions that constitute the fake â&#x20AC;&#x153;reality.â&#x20AC;?

/@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although obstacles and difficulties frighten ordinary people,â&#x20AC;? wrote French painter ThĂŠodore GĂŠricault, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they are the necessary food of genius. They cause it to mature, and raise it up . . . All that obstructs the path of genius inspires a state of feverish agitation, upsetting and overturning those obstacles, and producing masterpieces.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to make this idea one of your guiding principles, Aries.

In order for it to serve you well, however, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to believe that there is a sense in which you do have some genius within you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily something that will make you rich, famous, popular, or powerful.

For example, you may have a genius at washing dogs or giving thoughtful gifts or doing yoga when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sad. Whatever your unique brilliance consists of, the challenges just ahead will be highly useful in helping it grow.

She Walked!

Jean called on an ad in the Santa Cruz Weekly. She described what she was looking for and we began the search. Jean was very entertaining and we had a lot of fun looking at properties- since she was in a low price range we saw some wild houses, mildew-y, smelly, fixtures missing, holes in floors, broken windows, illogical floor plans, the gamut. Through it all she maintained her courage and optimism. We made several offers that were lost to higher bidders. We made several offers that were not accepted. We made offers that she rejected after finding out most of the house was illegal. We made an offer then found out the house had been flooded a few months ago.

Then it happened. The magical place appeared. Well, the yard was magical, the house marginal. Jean fell in love with the setting. We proceeded to loan stage. Papers were flying and signing and personal information was aired and recorded and pinned down. It was a bit after that that Jean started becoming rather apprehensive. Some might refer to it as the common complaint of “buyers remorse” or “cold feet” or “terrified”; whatever it was. it was serious. Jean started questioning and what if-ing everything. I could see the original enthusiasm ebbing rapidly. ’Til finally not a trace remained.

A first time buyer, Jean found the arduous process too overwhelming. She blamed the loan rates which took a leap for a few days and the mortgage payments that would rise a little bit as an indication of her entire philosophy— “see what can happen, nothing is sure.”

She backed out, she walked. She ran. She disappeared. I found myself angry and wondered why. It was not the commission lost, commissions come and go (rapidly I’ve found). It was not the time spent, that had been enjoyable. I thought and thought and realized that I was angry because she did not do what I thought she should: buy the house.

The rates were still good, the property attractive, the offer accepted, and the reports ok.

Everything was fine. But she did not perform the way I thought she should. I could not understand her reasoning. I did not agree with her reasoning. But it was hers, not mine. I needed to appreciate and understand her all encompassing fear. To try to relate and understand it as well as possible.

We all have our fears: of homelessness, of poverty, of heights, of bees, of snakes, of closeness, of life, of death. To others they may make no sense, to us they control and we cling for dear life. It is only in reaching way out to walk that mile—in those other shoes—to put aside our prejudices and attitudes, beliefs and opinions that we can possibly, partially, maybe a little, leave behind our old baggage and pick up new suitcase full of better understanding.

Only one week left to get your maybe not now but could someday be dream house in escrow and benefit from the $8,000 stimulus tax credit!! Good hunting to you all.
