The FOLF gang will not give up their leashless ways without howls of protest. Every Saturday morning from 8:30am to 10am, dogs and their people gather at Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beach (or, if the tide is too high, Lighthouse Field) and frolic unfettered. Donuts, coffee and petitions to sign are provided each week along with a lookout stationed above the beach to warn the group of approaching State Rangers. If spotted, a warning goes down to the owners, who quickly leash their dogs.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve volunteered to bring donuts several times and been told the Saturday morning romp is really an act of civil disobedience. No, I explain, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count unless you are willing to get arrestedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;perhaps go limp and make the cops drag you (and presumably your dog) up the stairs.

Otherwise itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just disobedience. Still, FOLF has clearly marked its territory and continues to challenge the authorities to do something about it.

The city and state, in response, remain in their Sit-Stay positions.

Paws for Lunch Although downtown and Lighthouse Field are the most visible battlegrounds for the right to run free, a not-so-quietrevolution is taking place elsewhere around the county. Like the Downtown Association, Woofers and Walkers also found that the prospect of more business can convince cafes to go dogfriendly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pick a restaurant in the county with a patio,â&#x20AC;? explains Wilde. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I then call and ask if I can bring a dog. If the answer is yes, I ask if I can bring a lot of dogs.â&#x20AC;? Some restaurateurs tell Wilde the California Health Code bans dogs on the patio. Actually, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Dogs are allowed in outdoor dining areas as long as they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to walk through the dining room to get there. Since Wildeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first conversion, Seabright Brewery, 23 more cafes have rolled out the water dishes. Asked if the dog-friendly patio is working, Seabright Brewery owner Charlie Meehan replies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are loving it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made people so happy to come into our restaurant [patio] with their dogs. He adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dogs, for the most part, have been so well-behaved.

They act nicer than the people.â&#x20AC;?

Candidate Forum â&#x20AC;&#x153;Better late than neverâ&#x20AC;? seems to be the consensus concerning the Aug. 12 debate among the candidates for the 15th Senate District seat, scheduled just last week in a f lurry of emails and phone calls. HVciV 8gjo LZZ`an and the AZV\jZ d[ LdbZc KdiZgh are co-sponsoring the event, the first to gather all four candidates in a public forum in the run-up to the Aug. 17 election to fill the recently vacated seat of Lt. Gov. Abel Maldondo.

The forum will see Assemblymember HVb 7aV`ZhaZZ (who came within half a percentage point of sweeping the June 22 primary), retired transportation manager ?^b ;^io\ZgVaY, Libertarian National Committee chairman BVg` =^c`aZ and former Assemblymember ?d]c AV^gY talking turkey in a format thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yet to be decided. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 12, at 7pm at the Cabrillo College Music Recital Hall, 6500 Soquel Dr., Aptos, and is free and open to the public.

Chiseled Brass To call it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;breakthroughâ&#x20AC;? might be premature. But there are now seven out of the city of Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 762 benefited employees who say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll jump on the eZch^dc gZ[dgb bandwagon.

Four lieutenants, two deputy chiefs and a captain of the Santa Cruz Police Department agreed last week to temporarily increase the amount of money they pay into the California Public Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Retirement System by 8 percent (all of which will come after they receive a 4 percent annual cost-of-living raise from the city). The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance department estimates the move will save $101,000 next year.

The seven employees also tentatively adopted a forthcoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;two-tierâ&#x20AC;? pension system that allows new police managers to be promised fewer retirement benefits.

Santa Cruz leaders are crossing their fingers that the gesture by police brass will coax the much larger Police Officers Association, representing rank-and-file cops, to follow suit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to take a leadership role and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that others in the department will take our lead,â&#x20AC;? says the president of the Police Management Association, SCPD Deputy Chief @Zk^c Kd\Za. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the idea has resonated but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly hoping that will happen.â&#x20AC;?

Vogel says the managers could opt out of the agreement if the POA doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall in line. But even if the rest of the Police Department agrees to the temporary contribution hikes, other employee groups like firefighters and non-public-

safety workers will likely be spared the immediate retirement concessions.

Santa Cruz Human Resources Director A^hV Hjaa^kVc says thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because, back in 2009, firefighters bumped up their CalPERS contribution rates by 2 percent and miscellaneous employees represented by the Service Employees International Union agreed to 10 percent cuts through furloughs. Once their contracts expire in 2011, however, Sullivan says all bets are off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;True pension reform will happen when the employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contracts are open,â&#x20AC;? says Sullivan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two-tier reform is perhaps the most important piece for the future, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough.â&#x20AC;?

By â&#x20AC;&#x153;not enoughâ&#x20AC;? Sullivan means that a two-tier pension system will only offer savings when future generations of employees retire and will do little to address the current fiscal crunch. Shortterm savings, by most accounts, will only come from similar employee contribution rate hikes to what the police managers just agreed to. Police officers, for example, contribute 9 percent of their paychecks into the statewide CalPERS system, while the city matches it at 36 percent. After the recent concessions, top cops will pay 17 percent and the city will pay 28 percent; hence: quick cash.

Long-term structural change to the pension system depends on what form any two-tier system will take. On that end, two options have been discussed with respect to police officers and firefighters: a â&#x20AC;&#x153;2 at 50â&#x20AC;? plan and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;3 at 55â&#x20AC;? plan. The numbers refer, first, to the percentage of pay an employee will receive in retirement multiplied by the number of years spent on the force, and second, to the minimum age they can retire at. For example, when Police Chief =dlVgY H`Zggn retires in September under the current â&#x20AC;&#x153;3 at 50â&#x20AC;? plan, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get 3 percent of his roughly $200,000 salary for each of his 30 years on the force, giving him 90 percent of his salary, or about $170,000 per year, in retirement, after deductions for uniforms and vehicle allowance are factored in.

If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been hired under a 2 at 50 plan, Skerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pension would be about $110,000 per year.

Vogel says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;&#x153;obviously like to see the 3 at 55 planâ&#x20AC;? over the 2 at 50 version. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cops already usually work until their mid-50s,â&#x20AC;? he says.

A 2 at 50 plan, however, would result in 5.3 percent overall payroll savings according to actuarial reportsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;nearly double the 2.7 percent savings that a 3 at 55 plan would offer. Santa Cruz Finance Director ?VX` 9^aaZh says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be pushing for the bigger savings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to continue to stabilize our budget and increase our reserves,â&#x20AC;? says Dilles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pension reform is one way to do it and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right thing to do.â&#x20AC;?

T HAS TO BE vomit. Nothing else could explain that wet, meaty stench wafting from the back seat. Pulling the car to a stop, I look back at my dazed 7-month-old golden retriever, Dublin, then down at what is indeed a small but pungent pile of partially digested kibble that the 90-minute trip from Santa Cruz to San Francisco has sent rocketing up from her motion-sensitive stomach and onto the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upholstery.

To make matters worse, the egg-shaped â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tamagotchiâ&#x20AC;? toy in my pocket lets out a familiar â&#x20AC;&#x153;beep-bop-beepâ&#x20AC;? to announce that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mametchi,â&#x20AC;?

the smiling bearlike character on the screen of the handheld device, has taken a digital dump on its virtual carpet. At this point I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even want to check on my FooPet and my iPuppy because I know they both need virtual walks, virtual baths and virtual vet appointments. It seems that between my very real pet and the three computerized ones I recently â&#x20AC;&#x153;adopted,â&#x20AC;? my job as dookie-cleaner-in-chief has increased exactly threefold.

Scrubbing up Dublinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s puke takes several paper towels, some all-purpose cleaner and a dab of elbow grease. Mametchiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steamer requires nothing more than the touch of a button. As I finish, however, my

now perky real dog decides Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done an exemplary job and manically licks my face in what I can only imagine is gratitude. Mametchi doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lick my face.

Instead it declares: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bleep bleep!â&#x20AC;? Translation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;All this pooping has now made me hungry.â&#x20AC;?

Pressing Mametchiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food button and giving Dublin a pat on the head, I climb back into the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat and continue pondering the question Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set out to answer. And that is: Which is betterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; a living, breathing, puking, licking pet or a beeping, battery-powered, wirelessly enhanced virtual pet?

The answer, I think, will take some advice from smarter folks than me. ¨ #

Of Mutt and Mouse The world of virtual pets today is a multibillion-dollar industry with millions of users in scores of countries.

The pets are generated by software and hardware-based programs that empower users to create their perfect pet, care for it as much as they want and neglect it whenever it becomes inconvenient. A virtual pet doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chew up your socks or eat your homework. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost a fortune in vet bills when it swallows a bottle of antacids and, in most cases, it will never die.

Not everyone, however, thinks that owning a digital pet is pleasurable or even healthy. And in one case, a top scientist who has studied the subject extensively says virtual pets pose a real threat to society.

So where did it all start? By most accounts it was in 1986, with a little game for the Macintosh called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Puppy Love.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought Puppy Love would be an educational game that could be a model for teaching [computer] programming,â&#x20AC;? says Tom Snyder, the creator of Puppy Love, a mind-bogglingly simply game that features a Stephen Hawkingâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;esque

narration voice and involves trying to teach a grayscale puppy tricks using keystrokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we got instead was really just a delightful game that kids and parents could play together. I have a lot of doubts about games for kids these days. I think to do a simulation of something that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be simulated and to market it as something with moral value is wrong. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment, pure and simple.â&#x20AC;?

The virtual pet games of today are exponentially more sophisticated than in Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. The Tamagotchi I have (usually referred to as just a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tamaâ&#x20AC;?) has removable cartridges that can load new characters and programs. It also has an online community called TamaTown where users can log on, introduce their Tamas to other Tamas, play games and talk with fans from around the world.

The iPuppy application for my iPhone brings up an adorable husky puppy that scampers about, barking and playing in a 3-D world that goes wherever I do. And my FooPet account features countless breeds of realistic dogs, each capable of tracking how happy it is through the amount of online attention I give it. In addition there are intricate games like ¨ %

Render Ranch that use breeding and genetics as a basis for play, allowing users to create entire farms using complex breeding schemes and business-based approaches.

Fred Bairn, a computer programmer in Snowflake, Ariz., and the creator of Render Ranch, disagrees with Snyder that virtual pet games canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be educational. He says his game is exactly that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have normal everyday people on the site as well as real ranchers and breeders,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try and provide an educational game. Something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, but something they can learn skills that they can use in real life.â&#x20AC;?

certainly suffered as a consequence.

Compare this to the $600 I paid for my real golden retriever puppy (a steal by most standards), the $50 per month in top-of-the-line dog food she eats, the $100 for spaying, vaccinating and implanting an ID microchip in her skin and the $50 per month or so spent on treats, toys and accessories like fluffy beds, and the cost advantage clearly lies with the digital dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dogs are expensive,â&#x20AC;? my mother warned me before I purchased Dublin this past Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You sure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just want a fish or something?â&#x20AC;?

Pay to Play

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleasurable to come home and take care of animals that you can turn off and go to bed when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done withâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Besides the subscription fees that some sites charge people to adopt virtual creatures, users also spend millions of dollars on virtual goods to pamper their pets. The virtual goods industry not only includes virtual pet products, but also â&#x20AC;&#x153;giftsâ&#x20AC;? on Facebook like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pink Cadillacsâ&#x20AC;? and accessories for World of Warcraftâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; style role-playing games like Celestial Steed. All told, the virtual goods industry brought in just over $1 billion in the United States in 2009 and $7 billion in Asia according to market research firms Inside Network and Inside Virtual Goods; and fake pet products, no doubt, made up a large portion of that total.

Danny Nguyen, a 22-year-old student in Menlo Park, says he spends about $10 to $20 per month on things like â&#x20AC;&#x153;morph potionsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;magic robesâ&#x20AC;? for his bunny character for the site Neopets, one of the most popular virtual pet sites around, boasting some 25 million users.

He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t view the money spent as any kind of waste. In fact, he says that if he had more income heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spend even more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get something for your money,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like buying action figures or something else that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really need, but I really want.â&#x20AC;?

Others like Kim May, a 51-year-old former dog breeder from Munson, Pa., says she tries to avoid spending real money on her Render Ranch farm and her Horse Island and PonyIsland virtual horses, but that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend up to $50 per month in a pinch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually mind spending the money,â&#x20AC;? she says over the sound of real birds chirping in the background. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleasurable to come home and take care of animals that you can turn off and go to bed when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done with.â&#x20AC;?

In each of the three virtual pets Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to avoid paying a single dime, though the creaturesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; standing among its digital peers has

Turkle says that while virtual pets like Tamagotchis and Neopets can be a harmless distraction when used in moderation, they have the potential to replace the much more valuable relationships people form with real animals and real people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hook that virtual pets have is that they ask for care,â&#x20AC;? she tells me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If something asks for care, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re programmed biologically to care for it.

1=D3@ AB=@G consciousness. We are even willing to feel that it cares for us back. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an expectation of reciprocity thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very deep in our consciousness. [Virtual pets] are socializing us to think that the inanimate is something that is appropriate to attach to, and it raises the question of what kind of relationships we should have with inanimate things.â&#x20AC;?

Turkle goes on to assure that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;not an alarmistâ&#x20AC;? and that a child who plays with a virtual pet is not necessarily doomed to a life of social ineptitude.

She also says, however, that the changes brought on by a society increasingly connected to virtual realities have already taken hold, and that the only way to remedy it is to develop stronger relationships with real living things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A real pet has a biology, it knows pain, it attaches to its young, it knows if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warm or cold, it has a life cycle,â&#x20AC;?

Turkle continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a real pet, a child learns responsibility; a child learns to care for another creature. With robots and virtual pets, you turn it off and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone. One of my most fascinating findings is that you can make a robot or a virtual pet thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made to measure.

For example, you can keep your Aibo [Japanese robot dog] always a puppy.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to grow up. So what about this notion that we can create companionship thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made to measure?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not preparing us for life. In a certain sense, the fact that your pet has idiosyncrasiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weird in its own ways, the fact that it gets sick, that you have to take care of itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all these things prepare us for life in the real world, for life with people. A virtual pet does not.â&#x20AC;?

When it comes to idiosyncrasies, my dog Dublin is all stocked up. She pees a little when other dogs scare her, her entire rear end wriggles when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy and she kicks both legs uncontrollably when I scratch her belly.

My Tama, iPuppy and FooPet all do cute things too, like retrieve virtual tennis balls and beg for food. But while I admittedly havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explored the complete programming capabilities of each of my fake pets, I have to doubt that any of their traits, no matter how cute, are unique.

Dublin may puke on the back seat and, since summer started, attract a seemingly incurable amount of fleas.

But in a lineup full of 100 other adorable golden retrievers, I like to think I could find her in an instant. And I know she could find me.

Bawdy Beautiful 8/</ ;/@1CA

Lusty and dazzling, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cabaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; launches Cabrillo Stage into another league 0G B@/17 6C97::

T

HE AUDIENCE never stood a chance. From the moment the lights came up on dynamo Roddy Kennedy in the impish, libidinous role of the Master of Ceremonies, the cast of Cabaret was in charge. No provincial musical theater production this, with audience members tensed for blown high notes and leadfooted maneuvers by nondancers. Cabrillo Stageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest offering brims with big-city talentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;top-notch singing, powerful dancing and strong acting, all marshaled by director Trevor Little into a dark tale about decadence, innocence and escalating racism in 1930s Berlin.

Into the roaring underground confined of the Kit Kat Club, where negligeeclad dancing girls in stockings and garters cavort with omnisexual dancing boys and wealthy patrons, steps callow Pennsylvania native Clifford Bradshaw (Andrew Ceglio), looking very much like fresh meat to bombshell British expatriate Sally Bowles (Briana Michaud), queen of the cabaret. Improbably, the two shack up in the boarding house of the fussy but kind-hearted Fraulein Schneider (Kathryn Adkins), who is being courted

by Herr Schultz (Doug Baird), a Jewish widower and fruit vendor. When Cliff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend Ernst Ludwig (Josiah Frampton) reveals that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working for an upstart political party with dark views of the Jews, things begin to unravel, first slowly, then with dizzying speed.

The stunning Michaud plays Sally Bowles as a goddess of the burlesque, alternately purring and belting out musical numbers in a huge, gorgeous voice. A powerful dancer, she commands the stage with every number, especially the bittersweet â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cabaret,â&#x20AC;? directed by

27@BG 2/<17<5 Briana Michaud as Sally Bowles and Roddy Kennedy as the Master of Ceremonies make naughty nice in Cabrillo Stageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cabaret.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Little as a devastating preview of Bowlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future as a booze-addled has-been clinging to her love of the spotlight.

Michaud owns it outright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liza who?â&#x20AC;? my husband whispered when it was over.

Similarly, Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Master of Ceremonies anchors the production with an exceptional combination of athleticism, vocal skill and killingly charismatic stage presence. He darts in and out of scenes, slapping every firm set of buttocks within range and warming the stage with sexy, mischievous energy every time he appears. We are always glad to see him, and his performances of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willkommen,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moneyâ&#x20AC;? and a hilarious bit of dancing in drag make him an easy audience favorite.

Numerous other performances deserve mention. As the older lovebirds Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz, Adkins and Baird are dignified and lovable; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one struggling not to blubber during their last tender number together. Ariel Buckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gorgeous crystalline soprano in her small role as Fraulein Kost was, as usual, outstanding.

Alexander Faulkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenor solo as a laborer

finding hope (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tomorrow Belongs to Meâ&#x20AC;?) was heart-stoppingly beautiful, and he hit the high B-flat with control and apparent ease. The ensembleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dancing excelled throughout; a special nod goes to Elizabeth Shipton as the surly Helga, Skye Wilson as the ditzy Fritzie and Emily Zimmerman as the Gorilla for bringing exceptional character to their dancing roles. And Maria Crushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costumes, Jim Culleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luscious set and the excellent band, conducted by Jon Nordgren, brought Berlin to life.

No review of this production would be complete without a mention of director Littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choreography of the last number.

For anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever wondered how the Third Reich could have happened, Little suggests an answer: it happened while good people were sleepwalking.

CABARET runs through Aug. 15 at the Cabrillo Crocker Theater, 6500 Soquel Dr., Aptos. For schedule and tickets visit www.cabrillostage.com or call 831.479.6429.

Fool in Love

A fantasy spins out of control in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wild Grassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

B

HE HISTORY of a seriously odd mallard, Wild Grass is Alain Resnaisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leisurely, cryptic satire on the extremes of male pride. Based on Christian Gaillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel The Incident, it concerns characters who are as much mysteries to themselves as they are to us.

Georges (AndrĂŠ Dussolier, sort of a debonair version of Ed Begley Jr.) is a 60ish suburbanite who finds a ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallet. He fixates on her: a passion that demands not just acknowledgment but serious respect.

Georges is a married man, but his younger wife, Suzanne (Anne Cosigny), evinces no signs of jealousy, only a bemused sense of possession, unshakable by any rogue feelings on her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part. She is as calm as the concrete, even as her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion bursts through the cracks like crabgrass (the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title is explained by just such an image).

Georgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unusual love object is a middleaged dentist, Marguerite (Sabine AzĂŠma, the Christian secretary in Private Fears in Public Places), a carrot-top who f lies planes as a hobby. This detail captivates Georges; in his mind, Marguerite begins to resemble the image of a famous hero aviatrix of the 1930s. He amplifies his persistenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and vents his anger when she refuses to meet with him.

Edouard Baerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urbane narration keeps this pleasurable experiment remote as

well as comedic, even if there are static moments of slow deliberation, off-putting fancifulness and a family meal that is mostly there to show just how settled Georges is. Wild Grass is the story of a man working himself into the role of a great lover, a man of dark proud passion. What he really is is a duffer. In one final moment of excruciating embarrassment, he resembles Leslie Nielsen in a slapstick role.

Just as Georges represents hopeless love, Marguerite represents the color red; Wild Grass is an abstraction of what movies do. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count Mathieu Almaricâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hilarious turn as a cop taking it easy for the rest of us, the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highlight is the evolution of Marguerite into a cinematic love object. The frizzy yet chic woman haunts a street of glowing crimson in which the centerpiece is one of those lovely, bijou-size revival movie theaters they have in Paris, bathed in Chinese red light.

WILD GRASS (PG; 104 min.), directed

by Alain Resnais and starring AndrĂŠ Dussolier, Anne Cosigny, Emmanuelle Devos and Sabine AzĂŠma, opens Friday at the Nickelodeon. (In French, with subtitles).

120 min.) Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky fits snugly into last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrelated Coco Before Chanel. Chanel here is Anna Mouglalis, a knifelike, severe creature, with a wide scarlet mouth. The ChanelStravinsky love affair begins before World War I in Paris. Chanel goes to the ballet to see the debut of The Rite of Spring. The audience starts to riot. Stravinsky (Mads Mikkelsen) blames the dancers for not being able to move with the music.

Sympathizing, Chanel invites Stravinsky and his equally poor family into her silk-lined chateau.

Director Jan Kounen waltzes the camera around a plush house as Stravinsky pounds the keyboard and Chanel draws the composer closer to her. Love isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t her sole occupation; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also supervising the creation of her namesake perfume.

This olfactory task is hampered by the smell of burning emanating from Stravinskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife

From the art-nouveau kaleidoscope titles to the nostril-flaring finish, Kounen presents a standard love triangleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; rich-looking, spotless.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engrossing until it suddenly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. (RvB) 23A>71/0:3 ;3

(PG; 94 min.) Even the second tier of animated filmmaking is fairly advanced, and Despicable Meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brisk and intelligent rephrase of the evil genius plot makes up for several cul de sacs. The bald, heavy-eyebrowed and Akim Tamiroffâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; accented Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) is a mad scientist working on his latest plot. If he can steal a shrink-ray just being developed, the Bank of Evil will give him a loan to finance his magnum opus: the theft of the moon itself. The action may be silly, but the directors take it seriously.

(R; 137 min.) This second installment in the Stieg Larsson series brings back Noomi Rapaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ratty but invincible urchin Lisbeth Salander.

Shortly after Lisbethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to Stockholm, her old nemesis (and rapist) of a parole

officer starts stirring up trouble. Meanwhile, trustworthily pockmarked investigative journalist Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) meets a new writer. He and his sociologist girlfriend are trying to expose the sexslave trade conducted out of the former Soviet Union, apparently abetted by the Sapo, the Swedish Secret Police.

Salander is an oldfashioned pulp heroine in a pulp plot. (RvB) 5@=E< C>A (PG-

13; 102 min.) Lenny Feder (Sandler) and his gangâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Eric (Kevin James), Marcus (David Spade), Rob (Rob Schneider), plus Kurt (Chris Rock)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;reunite when their childhood basketball coach (Blake Clark) passes away.

Afterward, the five pals and their families stay together over the Fourth of July weekend at a lake house. Why are they there? To hang out for about 100 minutes of running time.

Seriously, nothing of significant note happens.

Juggling five stars in one film leads to too many underdeveloped characters. Only Sandlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lenny, a wealthy Hollywood agent, gets some of his due. Great comedians such as Rock are

underutilized and not in their element. (SR) 7 /; :=D3 (R; 120

min.) Tilda Swinton plays Emma, the wife of a distant businessman, who carries on an affair with a chef who caters the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formal banquets: Antonio (Edoardo Gabbrilini), a handsome devil with a tattooed bracelet. Director Luca Guadagnino touches upon the best novels about adultery: the name Emma, as in Bovary, is certainly significant. This is a rich movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a banquet, certainlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the richness of it may seem offputting; in these times, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much financial suffering that many may be impatient with the problems of a luxuriously clad woman of leisure. But this classic drama of adulteryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; spare in plot, fascinating in designâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is a revenge of the world of art on the world of property.

And we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen one this well framed in a long time. (RvB) 7<13>B7=< (PG-13; 148

min.) The basic idea of Christopher Nolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film is simple. Led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a sort of Impossible Mission Force, working for a Japanese trillionaire (Ken Watanabe), descends into the sleeping subconscious of the plutocratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young rival (Cillian Murphy), using technology that allows them to design dreamscapes. Because of the complexity of this operation, the team is forced to create dreams within dreams, and each deeper dream takes place in an exponentially larger time frame. The film is audacious and frequently thrilling, especially when Nolan folds Paris in on itself and Escherizes interior spaces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visionary filmmaking, uncommon at this scale, with neither the mawkishness of What Dreams May Come or the spiritual horse feathers of the Matrix trilogy. (RvB) 8=/< @7D3@A( / >7313 =4 E=@9 (R;

92 min.) Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work holds you captive in the way that a freeway accident does. You cannot look

away, even as the film reveals its subjectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner needs and obsessions in graphic detail. The eerily vulnerable performer displays every unhealed grudge and wound for the camera. The filmmakers smartly intersperse confessions about needing money, her rage against growing old and insecurity about her skill with shots of her working the crowd at Manhattan comedy clubs, giving us a splendidly unlikable woman who is just too tough to be ignored.

(CW) B63 972A /@3 /:: @756B (R; 111

min.) Director Lisa Cholodenko (Laurel Canyon) and co-writer Stuart Blumbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie is one of the funniest and most incisive portraits we have of a gay marriage. Julianne Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jules is a classic California girl: no intellectual, very earthy.

Her wife, an obstetrician, Nic (Annette Bening, amusingly dour), comes back from work in a miasma of disapproval.

They have two children, both gotten by a sperm donor: Joni (Mia Wasikowska of Tim Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alice in Wonderland) and Laser (Josh Hutcherson).

Joni wants to meet the anonymous donor who fathered her. He turns up, a shaggy chef named Paul (Mark Ruffalo). He starts to become a sort of member of the family, and Jules finds herself becoming disturbingly attracted. This story carries a strong sense of place, with deft scenes of life west of the 405.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;kids are all rightâ&#x20AC;? because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young enough that their motives are clear. In this comedy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the adults who dissemble and wound each other.

The way Cholodenko analyzes the needy, unpretty cores of these characters is what takes The Kids Are All Right out of the realm of the domestic comedy/drama and makes it a film to remember.

Affleck) is a sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy in Central City, Texas, in the early 1950s: a milk-pale, mealy mouthed doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son with a cracked voice like Dennis Weaver in Touch of Evil. Ford gets into dirty business through inclination and a thirst for revenge. A crime wave starts when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be the one to run a hooker named Joyce (Jessica Alba) out of town, since sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleeping with the neâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;erdo-well son of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big man (Ned Beatty).

What happens between Joyce and Ford unleashes the deputyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sadism: it grows large enough to absorb his relationship with a simple good gal, Amy (Kate Hudson).

Red-meat stuff, but Michael Winterbottom embalms it. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so little going on here that naturally people are talking about the murders: theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bloody, and in one case bloody and urine-soaked. There is to be absolutely no audience participation in the crimes. Seeing The Killer Inside Me you have to ask: why are we here? For the sociological merit of the story?

Thompson had an acute understanding of a psychoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner nullity, but the problem is that the rest of the town has the personality of clay pigeons. (RvB) B63 :/AB /7@03<23@ (PG;

110 min.) It happened again. Another M. Night Shyamalan script was greenlighted by some movie producers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clue about what makes a watchable movie. The movie, which is an adaptation of the Nickelodeon animated series, covers season one (Book One: Water) of the TV show; it focuses on 12-year-old monk and last Airbender Aang (Noah Ringer). Aang discovers that he is the new Avatar, a once-in-ageneration person who can control (bend) all four elements and who is tasked with bringing balance to the world and peace to the Four Nations named after the four elements. Ringer looks the part, but his acting is so atrociously boring itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder he was omitted from speaking in a majority of the trailers. I hope, on behalf of all moviegoers,

that this is the last Airbender movie and the last time a producer falls for Shyamalanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitch to make a movie. (SR) =<27<3 (PG-13; 111 min.) This saltwater fairy tale by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Breakfast on Pluto) glistens with beautiful images, none more gorgeous than the opening shot of a solitary fisherman (Colin Farrell) gliding through the Irish coastal fog and drawing up his net to find it contains not only fish but a woman as well. The sight of the lovely Ondine (Alicja Bachleda) curled up a la Klimt in a bed of silver fish is utterly primal.

The fisherman brings her back to life and the neo-fairy-tale mystery quickens. Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart script acquires sharp edges, both in its bone-dry humor and in its refusal to cave in to the sweetness of the story. When a villain shows up, the ensuing crisis is both rough and surprising, but the ending is pure fairy tale.

109 min.) Nicolas Cage is Balthazar, an eons-old sorcerer who dresses like Lemmy of Motorhead; he recruits a NYT physics major (Jay Baruchel) to help him round up a wizard (Alfred Molina) who proposes to release the spirit of the evil sorceress Morgana la Fey (Alice Krige). If released, Morgana will dominate the world by unleashing an army of the walking dead. Baruchelâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;more ideally cast as the second or third assistant nerd in a high school movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;emits various goofy whines during the live-action remake of the Mickey Mouse sequence in Fantasia.

Restaging this sequence live with CG animated brooms and mops is basically what would happen if you made a Daffy Duck cartoon with CG real ducks, Babe style, taking loads

of buckshot in the beak.

Director Jon Turtletaub, of what will shortly become the National Treasure trilogy, has obviously cut the film to make it move quicker, but camp or serious the movie fails; Turtletaub and his producer Jerry Bruckheimer have delivered something so DOA that all the spells of Morgana La Fey couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring it to life.

(RvB) B=G AB=@G ! (G; 108 min.) Sit through the pretty ordinary grabber sequence at the beginning of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a frontier adventure with a runaway trainâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; because once this latest Pixar effort gets started, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfection. Woody (Tom Hanks), the toysize avatar of a cinematic centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of action heroes, is the lone skeptic when the rest of the gang is donated to a seemingly wonderful day-care center run by a too-friendly huggy bear (Ned Beatty). What transpires is a Great Escape parody that is less a joke and more like a captivating (and terrifying) new version of an old myth. Things

get very heavy indeed; these talking walking toys end up on the edge of extinction, which is why the seasoned professionals doing the voice acting add the right note of mortality to this sequel. A stunner, all told, in color, action, humor and serious underpinnings. (RvB) E7<B3@¸A 0=<3

(R; 100 min.) The melodrama-free indie movie Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bone is like a Little Red Riding Hood story in which thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing but wolves. In the outlaw culture of the Ozarks sprawling clans evade the law and deal out their own kind of justice.

Adapted from Daniel Woodrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, Debra Granikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spare, gripping film concerns 17-year-old Ree Dolly (a thoroughly believable Jennifer Lawrence) and her search for a father who has vanished. Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bone stays mysterious, even as it strays close to documentary. Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own fierceness gives this survival story the kind of immediacy that the summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action movies can only grope at. (RvB)

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of July 28 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): Success coach Tom Ferry says our ability to pursue our dreams can be damaged by four addictions: 1. an addiction to what other people think of us; 2. an addiction to creating melodrama in a misguided quest for excitement; 3. an addiction to believing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re imprisoned by what happened in the past; 4. an addiction to negative thoughts that fill us with anxiety. The good news, Aries, is that in the coming weeks you will find it easier than usual to free yourself from addictions 1, 3 and 4. On the other hand, you may be extra susceptible to addiction 2. So take action to make sure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall victim to it! What can you do to avoid distracting adventures and trivial brouhahas?

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): Some of the biggest whales feed primarily on tiny organisms like protozoa, algae and krill. They swim around with their mouths open, gulping seawater, using filtering structures in their upper jaws to sieve out the stuff they want to eat. Their strategy for getting a meal has resemblances to an approach you may benefit from using: sifting through a lot of superfluous material to get the rich basics you seek. Discernment isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only skill youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need; relaxed patience will be crucial, too.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): You know about World War II, but do you know about the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst conf lict since then? It was the Second Congo War, involving eight African nations and killing 5.4 million people between 1998 and 2006. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re painfully aware of the oil hemorrhage in the Gulf of Mexico, but have you heard about the equally horrific catastrophe that an American oil company wreaked on Ecuador from the early 1960s until 1992 (tinyurl .com/EcuadorOil)? I bring these things up, Gemini, because now is an excellent time for you to fill in gaps in your education and learn the rest of any story that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been missingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not just concerning events in the world but also in regard to your personal history.

P.S. Much of what you find, unlike the Congo War and the Ecuadorian oil disaster, may be good news.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): A psychic in Colorado was arrested for bilking her clients. Nancy Marks allegedly told people that their money was possessed by nasty spirits, and that the best solution was to hand the money over to her. The cops claim she collected 290,000 of the evil dollars before she was nabbed. My message to you, Cancerian, is very different from the psychicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning: Your bank account has a divine blessing on it. At least temporarily, this makes you a kind of cash magnet; you have an unusual power to attract legal tender.

Take advantage! Say this sacred mantra: â&#x20AC;&#x153;O monnee gimmee summ.â&#x20AC;? :3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): Can you force things to grow? Is it possible to induce ripening simply by aggressively exerting your willpower? Normally Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say no, but these days I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within your capacity.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t misunderstand. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying you could go up to a tomato plant and magically transform midsize green tomatoes into big orange beauties. But from a metaphorical perspective, you could accomplish something like that. What fragile bud would benefit from bursts of your vitality? What sweet young thing might thrive with your invigorating help?

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): In James Hillmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book The Dream and the Underworld, he says something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard from other researchersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that the majority of dreams we have each night are unpleasant. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true for me. Way more than 50% of mine are educational, entertaining, and not at all bad or scary.

Quite a few have jokes and riddles. Most stretch my understanding of how the world works and motivate me to get smarter about what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been ignorant about. As you enter the Intense Dreaming Phase of your cycle, Virgo, I suspect your nocturnal adventures will resemble mine. Get ready to encounter intriguing characters whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the power to heal you. Talking animals may give you righteous clues about upcoming waking-life decisions. A mercurial teacher could relieve you of a delusion. The wind and rain may play music that dissolves your fear. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): During the Tang Dynasty, a golden age of Chinese culture, educated people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use clichĂŠd salutations to begin and end their encounters with each other. No â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi, how you doing?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;See you later. Take care.â&#x20AC;? Instead, they improvised creatively, composing poetic riffs appropriate for the occasion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your face is especially

bright today. Are you expecting to see a lucky cloud?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bask in your glories again later. In the meantime, may you find a brisk blend of elegance and mischief.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see you do something like that, Libra. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime time to boost your alliances to a higher octave. Give more to your collaborators, and ask for more, too.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): I admire people who sweat freely and abundantly while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working hard at what they love to do. Singer James Brown, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Godfather of Soul,â&#x20AC;? was renowned for his sweltering f loods, and so is baseball player Pablo Sandoval. But many unfamous people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known would also be top candidates for King and Queen of Sacred Sweat, like my friend Julia, who practices her passion in the garden, and my friend Luke, who welds giant metal sculptures. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping you will come into your own as one of this elite group, Scorpio. The omens suggest youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be wise to raise the heat in your alchemical furnace.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): The wind coming off the creek has picked up in the last half hour, and so the branches of the lemon tree outside my office window are swaying vehemently in the late afternoon sun. Is the tree upset? No. Is it worried or offended or angry at the wind? Of course not. From what I can tell, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoying the raucous movement.

I can even imagine that it knows how lucky it is: It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to dance so expressively without the help of the gusts. I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll interpret your experiences in the coming week with a similar perspective, Sagittarius.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): While f lying over water, an eagle can spot a fish swimming from 300 feet away. As it prowls through a winter landscape, a coyote can detect the presence of a mouse bustling beneath thick snow. I suspect youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a comparable knack for tuning in to things that are of keen interest, Capricorn, even if they are hidden or located at a distance. To maximize your advantage, get clear about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hungry for. Build a vivid image in your mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye of what you need.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Lola, a woman I know, has mastered the art of self-contradiction. She makes no apologies for the apparent oppositions she gladly contains. For instance, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly at ease with the fact that she is not only a lesbian anarchist skater punk whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a prolific graffiti artist, but also a devout Christian who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consume drugs or alcohol, drives a Lexus SUV and volunteers as a massage therapist at a hospice. Your internal paradoxes may or may not be as extreme as hers, Aquarius, but I urge you to express them with the panache that she does. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): My friend Erica went to a Chinese herbalist, seeking help for a skin problem that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been healed by six other doctors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very rare condition,â&#x20AC;? the herbalist told her. There was only one thing he knew that would work: Erica would have to travel to the Ruoergai Marshes in Sichuan Province, China, and track down a White-tailed Eagle, whose fresh droppings she would gather up and apply to the affected areas of her skin. As the prospect of such a pilgrimage was daunting, Erica decided instead to simply imagine herself carrying it out. After a week of such meditations, her skin had improved. In 21 days, she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely cured, but she was much better.

The moral of the story, Pisces: Simply visualizing a heroic healing quest may help fix your glitch.
