City Didn’t Follow the TSJ Money Trail Like an underwater homeowner on an adjustable-rate mortgage in late 2008, TEAM SAN JOSE was unfazed by money issues in the months leading up to its being slapped with a default notice. And like a feckless federal regulator, the city official charged with overseeing the local business-union-municipal alliance was upbeat—right up until the report that $750,000 had fallen off the truck. As part of the city’s required oversight on the beleaguered quasi-public entity, analyst ERIC BILIMORIA sent recaps of Team San Jose (TSJ) money meetings to the city’s budget boss, JENNIFER MAGUIRE. In one of these internal emails last May, the analyst breezily mentions $805,000 worth of TSJ expenditure “cleanups” that were talked about at the meeting. One of these “cleanups” concerned the Genghis Khan exhibit at the Tech Museum. In a blistering memo last month, downtown council rep Don’t SAM LICCARDO forget demanded that that to tip! deal be put under the microscope. Looking at FLY@ the numbers, Liccardo’s METRONEWS. vigilance seems well COM founded. Bilimoria’s email to Maguire back in May reports that the House of TSJ was leaking money. “As part of the agreement to bring the exhibit here, the City fronted $250K in costs,” Bilimoria writes of the “necessary cleanup.” He goes onto say that an additional $555,000 “cleanup” would also be required, because TSJ had overspent city money on equipment and insurance. . . .

In late June, less than two months before Team San Jose had its wings clipped by city finance chief SCOTT P. JOHNSON, Bilimoria reported that TSJ’s CEO DAN FENTON and former long-time CFO DAN CUNNINGHAM were assuring city budget staff that it was all good. “They are on pace to meet the budgeted revenue estimate, and finish

Plouffe knows his reds and blues.

As in U.S. states. Two years ago, he vaulted the Democrats to their biggest electoral triumph in half a century, smartly jump-starting social-networking strategies and grassroots-fundraising efforts that left Republicans with palms planted firmly on foreheads.

But just as basketball dynasties come and go, political landscapes too change.

“Obviously, the Republicans are going to have a good November,” Plouffe concedes. “But it’s not because suddenly people think Republicans have great ideas or they’re being politically courageous. No. People are just frustrated.

“And when people are frustrated, parties out of power tend to do well.”

This most recent political tipping

point arrived earlier this year, when former beefcake turned Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown rode the country’s anti-incumbent wave—and a pathetic Democratic rival—all the way to the U.S. Senate. Prospects were bleak for Dems in the fall election.

Disgruntled and alarmed, Obama dialed Plouffe and tapped him to channel some old magic to salvage the Dems’ hopes in the November midterm.

Now, mere weeks until voting begins, is there any way Democrats can avoid a full-on GOP stampede?

Here in California, incumbents are on the run. Three-term U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer is currently trailing opponent Carly Fiorina—though she boasts a heartier war chest than her Republican rival. Even this state’s gubernatorial contest is an anomaly. Jerry Brown should have coasted on Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s dirt-poor approval ratings. But Republican Meg Whitman has established herself as the “change” candidate.

Even Plouffe praised Whitman, including her “innovative” Internet strategy—“The Whitman campaign

is doing a lot of interesting things,” he said—while indirectly lamenting Brown’s digital inertia. “[The Internet] is no longer an area that is a luxury or is sort of secondary to television advertising,” Plouffe says.

“It’s got to be core to your campaign.

Any good campaign spends as much time on their digital strategy as they do on other parts.”

Gcfl]]\ gf`ekj flk k_Xk D\^ N_`kdXe Xe[ A\iip 9ifne Xi\ jk`cc e\Zb$Xe[$ e\ZbÆXe[ k_Xk 9ifne Zlii\ekcp _Xj k_\ X[mXekX^\ f] Y\`e^ X e\n mf`Z\ ^f`e^ `ekf k_\ iXZ\Êj Ó eXc \`^_k n\\bj That said, Plouffe points out that Whitman and Brown are still neck-and-neck—polls indicate that

Whitman holds a slight (3 percent) lead—and that Brown currently has the advantage of being a new voice going into the race’s final eight weeks. “[Brown] can begin to make his case in a strong fashion to voters,” Plouffe argued. “Brown has a fresh message.”

Specifically, Brown embraces the idea of California being at the forefront of the green movement, including support for A.B. 32, the global climate change bill, and a plan for new “green jobs”—something Plouffe said should not be underestimated.

“I think the American people rightly believe America should lead the world in this new green-energy economy,” he says.

The idea of America as leader fuels what Plouffe calls “human conversations,” or discussion rooted in simple, focused goals and messages.

“There are a lot of people who don’t necessarily read an original [news] story,” Plouffe says. “But someone will post one on Facebook, or they’ll Twitter about it, and then they’ll have a conversation about it later at a barbecue.”

But the water-cooler and backyardbarbecue gossip nowadays has but one topic: the economy.

“Obviously, we’re going to be facing a fairly stiff headwind,” Plouffe says of unemployment and sluggish job growth. “But Republicans don’t have a tailwind. This isn’t some huge outpouring of affection for the national Republican Party.

“The American people are not looking to have a love affair with John Boehner or Mitch McConnell.”

And Plouffe likes the Dems’

the year at or below estimated levels for their expenditure appropriations,” Bilimoria wrote. He also reported that a controversial consolidation of the TSJ entity, which is co-chaired by South Bay Labor Council head CINDY CHAVEZ, was copacetic. “They assured us that the upcoming transition from the Civil Service to variable labor model would be successful,” Bilimoria said, adding that there was “not really any news to report” and that “the meeting was over in less than an hour.” Meanwhile, economic development chief PAUL KRUTKO, who is ultimately responsible for keeping tabs on TSJ, was nowhere to be found. And while the facade had apparently been collapsing for months, former CFO Cunningham, who was dismissed by Fenton in mid-July, later told the Merc that he had “no knowledge of any budget overage.” Fenton says there is no link between Cunningham’s sacking and the recent revelations about TSJ’s deficits.

chances down the road. “Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh ultimately are going to be a problem for the long term,” he said, “because I don’t think—and in particular with presidential elections, when you have a bigger turnout—that the majority of our younger voters and independent voters identify with these people.”

But will they identify with Obama come 2012? And, for that matter, when will Obama announce his reelection bid (presidents Clinton and Bush announced theirs in March and April, respectively, after first-term midterms)?

“We’re just simply not having any of those discussions,” Plouffe said (reporting by Politico and The New York Times suggests otherwise—and that Plouffe will be a principal on Obama’s 2012 team).

Still, despite what happens on Nov. 2, there always will be another political-campaign season. “The Republican primary [for 2012] has essentially already begun. I assume it will begin in earnest on Nov. 3,” Plouffe says. “There’ll be plenty of politics on the other side to keep everybody engaged.

“I mean, Sarah Palin’s going to Iowa in September! So, um, the games begin.”

McLaren Looking To Develop a Green Supercar?

MCLAREN Automotive knows how to make supercars and a recent job posting seems to indicate that the automaker is at least exploring the possibility of a hybrid model. This is in line with other leaders in the sports car industry as both Ferrari and Porsche currently have at least one hybrid variation of a sports car. Mercedes and perhaps even Toyota have electric supercars coming, which seems to state there’s a market for high-performance green cars.

McLaren previously listed a job posting for a hybrid senior engineer and the latest is for an electrical engineer to work on the “concept, design and development of the electrical package and wiring system for a hybrid electric vehicle.” The firm recently revealed that it’s no longer going to be a onevehicle automaker and plans on releasing five new vehicles over the next five years; chances are at least one will be powered by a hybrid system.

The hybrid McLaren wouldn’t likely be their top-tier model—that will probably be the MP4-12C for quite a while—but rather a bit more modest supercar possibly aligned with the Ferrari 599 HY-KERS. It also likely has something to do with abiding by the latest CAFE fuel economy numbers, which requires a higher MPG across an automakers entire US lineup. After all, that’s why Ferrari is doing a hybrid: to protect their V12. —MATT

and the iPod Touch.

It’s the first time Apple has spelled out for developers how it makes decisions about the app store, where a lengthy approval process and seemingly arbitrary rejections have angered and frustrated app publishers. The rules, whose language hints strongly that they were written by Jobs himself, come amid a broader retreat for Apple, which today also backed off rules that had banned apps translated from Flash and that had stifled Google’s mobile advertising network.

BURNS, CRUNCHGEAR.COM

At least one of those rules came under scrutiny by the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission. Apple’s also been under heat from programmers at other companies. The company’s app store director Phillip Shoemaker publicly trashed the developer of Facebook’s hugely popular iPhone app, who quit developing for the app store in disgust.

Apple’s pullback isn’t cowering, though. If anything, the new guidelines illustrate how fervently the company continues to defy critics (like us) who say the app store would work better—as a business, as a creative showcase and as an increasingly popular commons for all manner of human expression—with more diversity and less corporate censorship of fashion spreads, gay culture, literary illustrations, critical caricature, political satire, and on and on.

lawrence Isn’t it ignorant to assume that the relaxed U.S. regulations are why the Italian car manufacturer’s lineup is changing? The U.S.’s CAFE regulations restrict to a manufacturerwide average of 25 mpg, which is not a concern for EU supercar makers, who have no trouble keeping above the guideline—45 mpg in the EU and higher in Japan. BLARGH.

Steve Jobs Releases His 10 Commandments Steve Jobs released rules, apparently in his own words, outlining creative correctness in Apple’s App Store.

The Apple CEO’s “guidelines” are arbitrary, prudish and almost comically despotic. But at least now they’re written down and exposed to public scrutiny.

Apple released a set of “App Store Review Guidelines” today, governing all content, games and tools that can be installed on the iPhone, iPad

Looking Back At OS X The fortunes of the Mac platform drastically changed 10 years ago, with the release of a simple CD. On Sept. 13, 2000, Apple released its Mac OS X Public Beta, a limitedtime trial run of the ultramodern, groundbreaking operating system that would replace the old Mac OS. Priced at $30 for a CD distributed via Apple’s online store, the beta gave the general public their first taste of an operating system that would go on to win popular acclaim and attract scores of Windows users to the Macintosh.

Mac owners have been living with OS X for some time now, and Apple has come a long way from those dark days of the late 1990s. It’s easy to forget in an age dominated by iPhones and iPads and other Apple successes, but the company saw some tough times. True, it had the success of the iMac on its side. But new hardware only gets you so far when the software that runs on it is built upon an ancient and creaky foundation. To that end, it’s hardly going out on a limb to suggest that Mac OS X wound up being a key driver in Apple’s comeback story.

Morris the Cat It was a stroke of brilliance from the Apple execs to buy NeXT and bring Jobs back to Apple. buffering I own an original NeXTcube. It’s amazing how much it feels like OS X, right down to the timing of the beachball. It even runs the world’s first web browser written by Tim Berners-Lee. NaOH I wonder which big cats have yet to share their name with a version of OS X. Are there any left? novabothar Cougar! Hehe

The bulk of RDA funds have gone to capital projects like the HP Pavilion, museums, the convention center, parking garages, hotels, Adobe and industrial projects in north San Jose and Edenvale.

The larger discussion was about how we spend or do not spend the limited RDA funds after the state of California raided the funds last year and again this year.

RDA funds are based on assessed property values in the merged RDA areas (downtown, north San Jose, Edenvale). If those commercial and residential properties increase in value, that creates more tax increment dollars. If those values decline there is less. As we know, property values have declined and may decline further depending on which economist you listen to.

San Jose RDA hires an outside economist every year to forecast future revenues. The economist has projected higher tax revenues in years past which did not pan out.

The main question for me is: When revenues are uncertain, do we budget on the lower conservative numbers or the higher optimistic numbers? I would prefer to do a budget on the lower numbers as it is easy to spend money but harder to constrain spending. The only economist I trust is “Hindsight,” and we will only know the answer in the future.

I attended the ribbon cutting for the Brocade campus on Thursday. Mayor Reed pointed out that this country will grow the economy through exporting, and Brocade is a testimony to that as the majority of its technology products are exported overseas.

The RDA spent $4 million to retain Brocade and the jobs in San Jose at a new campus at Highway 237 and North First Street. We cannot always predict which company will succeed, but we know these investments reap increased revenue for the city of San Jose.

For 2010, the 01SJ Biennial arrives with an ambitious theme: “Build Your Own World.” The idea is that artists, engineers, corporations and everyday citizens carry with them new ideas to re(shape) what the future world or worlds will look like, which can be good or bad. Both the positive and the negative implications of such an idea will be addressed in these projects.

With that premise in mind, more than 100 art installations and dozens of commissioned works, plus exhibitions, workshops, musical performances and a high-tech street fair, will take over downtown San Jose through Sunday night, with some events carrying on even longer.

The sheer variety of experience is overwhelming, but it’s worth the time to sift through all the possibilities, both free and ticketed.

For those preferring the kind of art that occupies a museum or a gallerylike space, plenty of themed exhibits are currently running in conjunction with the biennial. Techrelated works to coincide with 01SJ can be seen at the San Jose Museum of Art, the Museum of Quilts and Textiles, the San Jose

Attendees more suited to participatory events—like narrative cell phone games or bicycle rides with inflatable suits—can also participate. “Out of the Garage Into the World” features several works blurring the boundaries between art and research, with the public invited to join in.

There will be artist talks, garage projects, free block parties and a global warming symposium.

Sonically speaking, new twists on classical music, world music and sound art will be heard.

All projects, in one way or another, envision and imagine what the future might look like, and especially, how to begin building that future today.

Each 01SJ Biennial features some sort of transformation of the Richard Meier–designed San Jose City Hall.

This year, David Rockwell and the Rockwell Group Lab (stage designers for the last two Academy Awards) will turn the portion of City Hall housing the elevator shaft into a multifaceted interactive experience for the opening ceremonies.

Titled “Plug-in-Play,” the work will take a number of objects—some existing and some placed—in the City Hall Plaza and connect them to the building via oversize theatrical plugs.

Free and open to everyone, there will be high-tech crafts, experiments, philosophies, extractions, contractions, contraptions, immersions, acts, miracles on wheels, street shows, interactive games, behaviors, robots and more. This is not to be missed, as most participants in most 01SJ events should be lurking somewhere at one time or another.

First, the New York–based artist filmed Flood Tide, a genre-defying “road movie on a river” about musicians who set out on a strange odyssey to build and sail boats made out of junk—and starring the real-life boat-builders in both footage from the actual event and a fictionalized version of their own true story.

Then, Chandler created the music for the film with his band Dark Dark Dark, a chamber-folk ensemble with other members hailing from New Orleans and Minneapolis. Though the official release version of neither the film nor the music has been finalized, Chandler will present a “remix” of both when he plays live to his film with his band on Sept. 16 and Sept. 19 at South Hall.

If that isn’t enough, Chandler, along with fellow artist Jeff Stark, is even building the theater his movie and music will be presented in. As

the duo prepared the “Empire Drive In” project last week, Chandler— looking a little bit like the classic cool kid from the drive-in era in a white T-shirt and jeans—surveyed a layout of two dozen junkyard cars filling one end of South Hall, while up above him Stark was perched in a crane, overseeing the construction of the giant drive-in screen.

“He’s an amazing artist and organizer of massive impossible things,” he says of Stark, who also worked with him on the boat project that became the basis for Flood Tide.

While “Empire Drive In” certainly isn’t impossible, it has a faint whiff of unlikely. Working radios will be installed in the cars, which are lined up in several rows facing the screen, in traditional drive-in style. The drive-in installation will screen several films besides Chandler’s. For feature presentations, viewers can sit in the cars and hear the sound through the radio, or outside through the large sound system. At other times, there will be loops running on the screen, and the sound will only be heard through the cars.

Chandler and Stark came to California for a couple of days last

November to scope out supplies, and arrived on Aug. 22 to begin work.

They found the cars through Nick Jafari, the owner of Vince’s Foreign Auto Wreckers in San Jose.

“We said, ‘Can we borrow or rent 24 wrecked cars from you?,” recalls Chandler. “Right away, he totally got it. He was amazing.”

Soon there were three car carriers’ worth of junked automobiles outside the back entrance to South Hall. The rest is being built from scratch with salvaged lumber and other parts, with some help from their friends—a concession stand is being put together by Robin Flohardt while the radio system is engineered by Ian Page.

As it comes together, it looks not unlike some near-future drive-in just after the zombie apocalypse. They could, of course, have gotten two dozen perfectly functional cars, but their approach makes a statement that’s an interesting match for the future-tech 01SJ event.

“It’s about a lot of things,” says Chandler. “It’s partly about these junk cars. It’s a technology festival, and even though there’s not a lot of obvious tech happening here—we’re

working with salvaged wood and these totally trashed cars—it is sort of about how quickly technology becomes obsolete. Most of these cars are from the ’80s and ’90s and even this decade. Part of it is about reuse, and found objects. Each of these objects has a story, and that’s super interesting. You can look at any of these cars, some of them have letters or photos, each of them has a story.”

It’s also, of course, about the drivein itself, and how we watch movies.

“Both of us as teenagers went to drive-ins, and definitely had interesting experiences at the drivein. It’s partly about that drive-in experience, the fun of it,” says Chandler. “At this point it’s kind of a nostalgic thing, there are very few drive-ins—the land that they’re on turns out to be worth more as a parking lot.” =CFF; K@;<# X Ó cd Yp Kf[[ :_Xe[c\i# n`k_ c`m\ g\i]fidXeZ\ Yp ;Xib ;Xib ;Xib# n`cc Y\ gi\j\ek\[ fe K_lij[Xp# J\gk% (-# Xk 0gd Xe[ Jle[Xp# J\gk% (0# Xk *1*'gd Xk Jflk_ ?Xcc `e JXe Afj\2 ]i\\ n`k_ X[d`jj`fe kf Jflk_ ?Xcc fi X 9`\ee`Xc ^\e\iXc X[d`jj`fe k`Zb\k%

You’ll see banana-bikes, self-propelled jet packs, soapboxes, a video-gamethemed car and a mechanical elephant on wheels all taking part in the procession, which begins at South Hall at 11am and travels approximately one mile through the immediate downtown area. After the parade, a festival will transpire on South First Street, featuring all the contraptions that took part plus dozens of other “green creations,” workshops, events and activities—all for the entire family.

by O+A (Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger) with four singers and an eight-channel “Orchestra of Cities,” the work meditates on the balance between machines and humans.

That is, human voices intersect with sounds of fossil-fueled machines like buses, cars, trains, helicopters and more—all characterizing what might happen as we transform out of one particular mode of living into a new one. And what better venue to stage such a performance than St. Joseph’s Cathedral?

ZERO1 22 with modern technology, including human-computer interfaces, robotics and artificial intelligence.

Key members Ajay Kapur and Curtis Bahn—each a significant force in the improvised music and academic computer music communities—are creating a new composition for this show. The Abhinaya Dance Company will choreograph and perform the accompanying dance component.

A MACHINE TO SEE WITH (2010) This is a role-playing game for pedestrians and their cell phones by the U.K.-based collective Blast Theory.

The game takes about one hour and a total of 30 minutes of cell phone time, with participants receiving instructions via their cell phones and essentially stepping into a narrative experience as they walk around downtown San Jose. Participants book a time slot for $12, bring their own phones and then receive an introductory call informing them where to start. From there, no one knows what will happen.

Or do they? Mixing documentary material, stolen thriller clichés and the films of Jean-Luc Godard, the game invites players to become someone else—protagonist, bit part player or something else entirely.

TRADING VOICES (2010) Jflk_ ?Xcc Years and years ago, much of the initial brainstorming conversations for what would eventually become the 01SJ Biennial took place at the CADRE Lab for New Media at SJSU. For the 2010 Biennial, current CADRE grad students will present “Trading Voices,” a videointensive interview project actively collecting, remixing and publishing oral stories relating to U.N. Millennium Development Goal 3 (Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women).

Open to anyone, the project invites participants to answer questions about gender issues, live on camera. The clips are then assembled into a video-based art project. Viewers then watch the results, but they aren’t told what the questions are.

PROJECT HOODIEPLAY During their residency at the Canadian Film Centre Media Lab’s Interactive Art and Entertainment Program, Rose Bianchini, Kathleen Climie and David McCallum created a participatory wearable art game.

Basically, folks will be donning their own signature “wearable Hoodie” enabling them to play Zombie Tag during the AbsoluteZER0 street festival. Participants learned how to transform their own hoodies with interactive electronics. Look for them in the midst of the street festival.

MIDNIGHT CONCERTS BY CONTEMPORARY SOUND ARTISTS Curated by Stephen Vitiello, these ticketed events take place the nights of Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Trinity Cathedral, 81 N. Second St. at St. John. On Thursday, Olivia Block will present a composition for piano, field recordings and sine waves. Friday, Sept. 17, Steve Roden will perform Possible Landscape (for Donald Judd) using field recordings, live acoustic and electronic objects, instruments, voice, and electronic processing.

Vitiello himself, along with Molly Berg, will perform on Saturday.

Rimas is the managing editor of The Improper Bostonian, an alternative arts and entertainment magazine in Boston, Mass. I spoke with him last week about his new book.

What we tried to do is look at how agriculture affects civilization, [and] there’s a pattern. Civilizations, going all the way back to ancient Sumeria, expand, and as they expand their agriculture and wealth, the civilization itself spreads out. But looking at the toll that agriculture exacts on the environment, the civilizations then contract. We saw this repeated pattern of expansion and collapse. Nations get richer and bigger on the back of the agricultural wealth, and then they tend to hit a crisis point and shrink back, usually with famine and loss of productivity of the land. We looked at how our own modern, global empire falls into most of the same patterns.

N_\i\ Xi\ n\ Xj X Z`m`c`qXk`fe `e k\idj f] fli i`j\ Xe[ ]Xcc6

Most food empires are built on a number of assumptions: the soil will always be good, the climate will always be sunny with good amounts of rain, and if you specialize in a particular crop in a particular region, that makes good economic sense. These three assumptions have always led to soil degradation, to people not being ready when the climate does shift and to the ecological problem that when you concentrate a single type of monoculture within an area it leads to a very unstable ecology. Now, we figured for the past 100 years we’ve overcome at least the problem of degrading soils by using modern fertilizers. What we’ve done, though, is really trade one problem for another because our modern fertilizers are so dependent on fossil fuels. We are essentially watering our crops with these fossil fuels. That is not really cause for optimism. Whenever we drop the ball in the arms race with new pesticides and new types of fertilizers we can suffer a loss of these crops, and with the world population projected to grow to about 9 billion by the year 2050, there’s not a lot of room for error.

N_Xk `j k_\ Zfee\Zk`fe Y\kn\\e i`j`e^ ]ff[ gi`Z\j Xe[ ]ff[

I don’t think we’re looking at a future where there’s going to be starving in the streets of Chicago necessarily, but one where food becomes a resource that is much scarcer and is a cause for instability in the world.

N`cc k\Z_efcf^p _\cg lj Xm\ik [`jXjk\i6

Maybe there is a magic bullet out there, but so far all our fixes have been in the same vein of creating these products which still require a great deal of fossil fuel and are very expensive. Unless they use lower inputs of water and fossil fuels I don’t see how these fixes will solve anything in the long term.

N_Xk ZXe n\ [f kf jkXm\ f]] [`jXjk\i6

I don’t think there are any magic bullets or easy answers, but when the government stops giving such economic incentives to the major agricultural companies to continue the business they’re doing, that will be the day things start to turn around. —Stett Holbrook

That insight can be dire or amusing, depending on how you play the field. Dragon Productions opts for the comic with its latest production, Love Song, by John Kolvenbach. Dave Sikula directs.

Through Oct. 16; Pear Avenue Theater, Mountain View; $15–$30 In an ambitious move, Pear Avenue tackles two major statement plays about our nation’s history in the last century. Angels in America, Part One by Tony Kushner (pictured) is an epic look at the effect of AIDS. After its opening weekend, Pear will complement Angels in repertory with Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, about live in the distant days before World War II.

REVIEW

metroactive FILM Thurmond in San Jose’s St. James Park, Nov. 26, 1933 (see metroactive .com for details about the historical background of the case). Though the story of the notorious Brooke Hart kidnapping has been told by talents ranging from Fritz Lang to the film noir director Cy Enfield, this is the first film to name locations.

Strangely, Valley of the Heart’s

45

Delight doesn’t zero in right where the most suspense might be had, with the scenes of the two men accused waiting for the lynch mob.

It focuses instead on a hero reporter Jack Daumier (Gabriel Mann of The Bourne Supremacy) who refuses to go along with the rush to judgment.

Munson, Daumier’s ultraconservative

Seducer

NOBODY ever put up a statue to someone who said, “Nobody ever put up a statue to a critic,” but it’s the libels that really wound those of us in this profession. Take the claim that critics always prefer foreign films to the sturdy American product. Why, if you wanted a better example of glossy, inane dreck than Heartbreaker, you would have to go to France for it.

Dumbed down for the export audience, and including English dialogue for those who need a rest from the subtitles, this moldy farce is pretty close to free of redeeming quality. If you cut out Julie Ferrier, the kind of cute, kind of aggravatingly elfish actress who played the contortionist in Micmacs, you could call it completely free. Director Pascal Chaumiel has done extensive work in TV and advertising, and he was also connected to Luc Besson as the second-unit director on The Fifth Element and Besson’s bad 1998 Joan of Arc movie. Learning under the master of slick, slack-jawed French filmmaking, Chaumiel seems to have eliminated anything but strictly commercial content from this debut.

Romain Duris plays Alex—a three-daystubbled scruff on the lines of Hugh Laurie; he’s the head of a three-person team of consultants brought in to break up undesirable romances. Using different identities and the help of his sister (Ferrier) and brother-in-law (Francois Damiens), Alex seduces women away from relationships

“GRIPPING! A BLAZING HEIST FILM. AFFLECK KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK.” Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

that would make them unhappy. His latest job is breaking the engagement of a British man—a wealthy philanthropist—and a French heiress, Juliette (Vanessa Paradis, an ultrastarved version of Lauren Hutton, with a more capacious gap between her teeth).

In Monaco, Alex poses as a bodyguard to follow his target. Juliette proves resistant. Slapstick ?\XikYi\Xb\i intervals ensue. Some interest boils up with the Unrated; 109 min. first appearance of Héléna Opens Friday, Noguerra, a lively Belgian Camera 7, TV personality who plays Campbell Juliette’s drunken and slutty best friend. Sadly Noguerra fails to cause the kind of trouble she seems to suggest she’ll cause when she first appears.

“AN EMOTIONAL THRILLER WITH STUNNING PERFORMANCES.” Jeanne Wolf, PARADE

“RIVETING AND EXPLOSIVE. IT’S HEAT MEETS THE DEPARTED.” Pete Hammond, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

Juliette is characterized as this perfect chic woman whose only concession to vulnerability is a craze for the movie Dirty Dancing; her arrogance is supposed to be charm. This would make it easy for anyone, no matter how basically one note, to steal the show, but the show steals back, so to speak. It never gets beyond its long soak in expensive locations; the script wheezes as it tries to reach the insurmountable height of its high concept plot. The Moroccan opening sequence and the endless drives around the hills over Monaco might make up a date movie, but the audience would have to be under some kind of heavy sedation to tune out everything else.

REVIEW

Terror Town

THE TRAILER for Long Pigs says it all: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never understood what it was that attracts us to the darker things . . . why we become addicted to them with such willing enthusiasm.â&#x20AC;? The supposed horror at the multiplexes that never goes down or dirty enough is an issue for the true fan of the genre; this shortfall justiďŹ es the BlueLight Cinemas in Cupertino and its Week of Terror, which features a series of low-budget horror ďŹ lms distributed by Arizona-based indie R2 (pronounced R squared).

Long Pigs played at Cinequest â&#x20AC;&#x2122;07, and Steve Palopoli was there: â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Long pigâ&#x20AC;? is a centuriesold term for the human body as culinary yum-yum. . . . Writer/director/producers Chris Power and Nathan Hynes play themselves (mostly offscreen) as they follow around a cannibalistic serial killer (Anthony Alviano) for an extreme documentary project. . . . the approach in Long Pigs is fresh and funny, suggesting that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to let a cannibal into your life than a pushy, overly ambitious indie ďŹ lm crew.â&#x20AC;?

Also scheduled is Closet Space (2008), a.k.a. Aliengate, about a black hole to the eldritch dimensions leading out of a closet. Director Mel House honors all conventions, just as he did when he described his upcoming Walking Distance to a blogger at Fatally-Yours.com: â&#x20AC;&#x153; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nightmare on Elm Street crossed with Akira crossed with Firestarter crossed with Tetsuo: The Iron Man.â&#x20AC;? The crypticsounding Cryptic features King of the Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Toby Huss in a haunted time-crossing cell-phone conversation between an adult and a child; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ďŹ lm that prefers psychological horror to the usual amputations and disembowelment.

Let the director of Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studies, Lonnie Martin, sum his handiwork up, N\\b f] K\iifi on IMDb: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A look at groupthink, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sept. 17â&#x20AC;&#x201C;23 issues and how blind BlueLight Cinemas, belief in a one-sided Cupertino dogma can create a terrorist.â&#x20AC;? A school of scary feminists prepare to turn us men into quivering capons, pecked by hens and thwacked by rolling pins!

Of Jingles the Clown (a.k.a., Mr. Jingles)â&#x20AC;&#x201D; naming the production company Atomic Devil was funny enough. The coulrophobia gag, unlike pirates, monkeys and zombies, never stales.

Also on tap: Matthew Chungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce of the Dead; Brian Corderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carnies, which concerns a serial killer loose in a 1930s carnival; Bart Mastronardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vindication, about the horriďŹ c aftermath of a suicide attempt; and Aegri Somnia (â&#x20AC;&#x153;A sick manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreamsâ&#x20AC;?) by James Rewucki, of that haunted city Winnipeg, Manitoba. Aegri Somnia is a nightmarish seminarrative that shows the industrial horror and latent mutancy of David Lynch and the inner claustrophobia of Guy Maddin. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Richard von Busack

REVIEW

metroactive FILM publisher played by Pete Postlethwaite (of The Town, and the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear standout), suspects leftwing sympathy in the reporter. At ďŹ rst, Munson and the local boosters try to keep a lid on the kidnapping of wealthy department store heir â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blake Walshâ&#x20AC;? (Joe Mandragona).

Later, they decide to make an example out of the two accused kidnappers who are apprehended.

46

The weakling sheriff Ackle (Tom Bower), eager to wrap things up, yields to the pressure from above, and orders his deputies to yield if the mob arrives. Meanwhile, Daumier discovers rumors of the kidnapped boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed links to bootleggers and gamblers. Very low budget, but the Alameda locations are evocative, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not without interest. (Opens Fri at Camera 3 in San Jose.) (RvB)

Improper Bostonians

NOT A MOVIE STAR but a man who plays one in the movies, director/actor Ben AfďŹ&#x201A;eck is a hunk-size hole in The Town.

The intriguing previews disguise a Dennis (Mystic River) Lahane knock-off wounded

by AfďŹ&#x201A;eckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-aggrandizement. AfďŹ&#x201A;eckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doug MacRay is not just a dedicated bank robber but also a recovering addict in N.A., a virtual orphan, a man tapped for the NHL and compelled by circumstance to execute brilliant thefts which never kill anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Irish Pepe le Moko of Charlestown.

This once-feared Boston neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funkiest days are clearly behind it; we never really get closer than helicopter distance to the dangerous projects referred to in the script. What we see on the ground are ďŹ&#x201A;ower gardens and open-air cafes, reďŹ&#x201A;ecting the everdwindling habitat of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endangered white gangster. Even the ďŹ nale, a heist on one of Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved institutions, takes place in the no-doubt historic but not-sophotogenic parking garage.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the old two-brothers plot, foster brothers though they be: the aforementioned criminal paragon and his younger nuttybuddy Jim (Jeremy Renner of The Hurt Locker). Even as Doug longs to get out of the racket, Jim, who served a nine-year stretch at Walpole Prison for him, reminds him of his family obligations. A brilliantly planned bank robbery gets screwed up by Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad temper; the gang takes a hostage (Rebecca Hall) who is released unharmed but traumatized. She needs to be threatened to

keep from testifying for the Feds, but Doug falls in love with her instead.

Despite the bad-cat, bad-rat dichotomy, The Town tries to emphasize, we keep waiting for Jon Hammâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unshaven FBI agent, Adam Frawley, to rattle the cages, but Blake Lively, as an Oxycontin-fancying tramp, gets the brunt of Hammâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power; she does K_\ Kfne some excellent reacting to a R little barside lecture Frawley Opens Friday. gives about a $20 bill. Comicbook guys used to talk about AfďŹ&#x201A;eck playing Superman, but Hamm is the only actor Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d care to see in the part: baleful, powerful, two steps ahead of the humans around him.

And I doubt if more bullets would bounce off his cape than he gets shot at with in The Town. Hall, of swaying height and wide orchidaceous mouth, has too much presence to be just the girl in the picture. The inability of anyone to cook up roles big enough for this presence leaves her looking like a stage actress stranded on a movie set.

The script is choppy and violently undermotivated, although Chris Cooper and Pete Postlethwaite are outstanding.

The movie contrasts slick action sequences, including a bruising car chase through one-way streets, with conspicuously preAvid-style editing, to give the ďŹ lm some â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s style heft. A nice try, but like AfďŹ&#x201A;eckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acting, AfďŹ&#x201A;eckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction comes up short weight.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Richard von Busack

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST (1975) An Oregon layabout (Jack Nicholson) ends up in a restrictive state hospital where he ends up in battle with an evil nurse (Louise Fletcher). Nicholson is unforgettable in this anti-establishment drama par excellence, of immense appeal to anyone dealing with the military, the university, a corporation, etc. (Plays Sep 16 at 9 in San Jose at Camera 3). (RvB)

SPINNING SOUTHWARD (2010) From Prudhoe Bay, Alaska,

to Tierra del Fuego, bicyclists John and Mike Logsdon and filmmaker Nateon Ajello rode some 16,000 miles to raise money for brain tumor research; this documentary tells their story. (Plays Sep 18 at 3:30 in San Jose at Camera 12.) (RvB)

TOOTSIE/MRS. DOUBTFIRE (1982/1993) A memorable comedy about the mad urge to be an actor.

Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is so intense that he scares off directors. Out of desperation, he applies for a soap opera part in drag and becomes the Southernaccented, queenly Dorothy Michaels, who is like an even more uncanny Delta Burke. The role of woman is finally challenging enough to satisfy Dorsey, but it interferes with his personal life. Co-stars Bill Murray and Teri Garr—don’t you wish more movies did? BILLED WITH Mrs. Doubtfire. Cutesy Chris Columbus offering about a husband (Robin Williams) who dons drag to keep an eye on his estranged family.

(Plays Sep 17-19 in San Jose at the RetroDome.) (RvB)

Jermaine Dupri

Friday, midnight, Wet Nightclub, San Jose The story about Kriss Kross goes that Jermaine Dupri found them hanging around in a shopping mall and gave them a record contract. The world seems to have forgiven him; he’s gone on to discover Xscape, Destiny’s Child and Lil’ Bow Wow. He hooked up with the latter again last year, rapping on “Roc the Mic”; in fact, for the last five years or so he’s done all his rapping in guest spots, with Mariah Carey, Chingy, Kanye, Ashanti and others. (SP)

Harry Connick Jr.

Saturday, 7:30pm, Mountain Winery, Saratoga; $51–$150 Harry Connick Jr. was performing Beethoven’s piano concertos with the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra by the age of 9. Since then, he’s done Broadway musicals and gone on bizarre funk tours, but he’s still best known for crooning jazz standards. And, of course, playing serial killer Daryll Lee Collum. Copycat 2! Copycat 2! We demand it! (SP)

Jonas Brothers

Saturday, 7pm, Shoreline, Mountain View; $38–$98 Aren’t you just waiting for someone to find a dead hooker in one of the Jonas Brothers’ bathrooms?

C’mon, admit it! And yet, it never happens. Coming out of Christian radio in 2003, these born-again boys have been squeaky clean all the way (their latest Camp Rock sequel just aired on the Disney Channel last week), More power to ’em, but aren’t they just a little annoyed that they don’t get to use the pickup lines, “I was in the youngest band ever on the cover of Rolling Stone,” “I just played for Barack at the White House” or “I have touched Miley Cyrus”?

CONCERT

Creedence Clearwater Revisited THERE’S one inherent necessity in the name Creedence Clearwater You-Fill-in-the-Blank. Revival, Revisited—whichever, you’re going to need one guy, and one guy only: John Fogerty. The reasons are pretty straightforward: he wrote all the music and he sang all the songs.

Unfortunately, when former CCR (the original one) bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug “Cosmo” Clifford teamed up to form their band, Fogerty, for a myriad of Friday reasons, was unavailable for audition. At the time of the band’s inception circa 1995, Fogerty’s Montalvo Arts Center absence made sense, at least theoretically, because he was hiding under the artists’ rock and hadn’t $50–$90 made a ripple on the scene in years. But a few years later, Fogerty returned to the stage and has been touring with his own band since, rendering CCRevisited as obsolete as a 56K modem. Don’t worry though; they’ll play all the hits with dialup-like efficacy. —Garrett Wheeler

CONCERT

Tegan & Sara I AVOIDED Tegan and Sara for the longest time—their artsy electropop was just a little too precious for me—but they won me over last year for two reasons. First, their album Sainthood was the best thing I’ve heard them do. Songs like Friday, 2pm (free), before opening for “Sentimental Tune,” “Someday” and “Arrow” PARAMORE at combined their flair for smart and earnest lyrics HP Pavilion (see item) with a real emotional punch. It was one of my favorite records of 2009, for sure. Second, when Streetlight Records NOFX released their hilarious, self-deprecating single “Creeping Out Sara” (in which NOFX leader Fat Mike recalls the true story of meeting her at a festival and asking a bunch of idiotic, non-PC questions about drugs and sex), the sisters seemed to actually get the joke. Some self-righteous T&S fans certainly didn’t. Typical was Mia Jones posting on the site afterellen.com: “The boys that form the band NOFX have done the unthinkable and attacked our community at its very core— they made a song dissing Tegan and Sara.” Really? Come on now. The sisters and Fat Mike apparently discussed at length how the song’s nondis had been twisted into a dis by fans and the media, but publicly, Tegan just put out a single tweet that referenced the song’s suggestion that she might be the cooler one of the duo: “nofx + t/s = lots of email/texts/blogs/ phone calls. i think punk in drublic is a great record. we r lesbians. sara was creeped. i AM cooler.” Brilliant. —Steve Palopoli THE T HE B BEARS EARS

Where you go wrong is in dividing the world into two kinds of women: the hussies you make moves on and the nice girls you leave puzzled, angry and sexually frustrated. You probably fear rejection by girls you care about but excuse your mousy approach by calling yourself a gentleman instead of a wimp. Not making moves doesn’t make nice girls want you more; it makes them go from wanting you to wanting to throttle you— until they finally give up and maroon you in the pink zone of their address book.

You should instead divide women into “I could do her” and “Only with a gun to my head and a feedbag over hers.” You can’t know whether a woman’s a keeper on the first date, but at least try to kiss her to stake your claim for being more than friends. Even if she has some rule against first-date kissing, she’ll get the message that you are attracted to her, you aren’t gay and your interest goes beyond finding out whether she gets along with

her sisters and what she thinks should be done to bring peace to the Middle East.

You don’t just go in cold for a kiss. Get some drinks in a girl, then casually touch her arm a few times. Researchers found that a light touch led people to leave bigger tips, made them more likely to sign a petition and to give a stranger on the street a dime. In studies in France by Dr. Nicolas Guéguen, men at a bar were more interested in women who touched their arm shortly after meeting them, and women touched by a man were more likely to dance with the man and, in another study, to give him their phone number.

These light arm touches are actually a valuable investigative tool. If, upon being touched, your date doesn’t back up while extending a can of pepper spray, consider it a signal to treat her not just like a lady, but a lady you’re interested in, and go in for some lip. Maybe it’ll lead to love, maybe just a couple more dates. But, at least there’s the possibility of something beyond the friendzone—for guy who understands the difference between getting sparks flying and writing a woman a purchase order for some lighter fluid and a box of matches.

Or maybe “Meet the one thing keeping me from dying alone and having my decomposing body go undiscovered for weeks.” There’s status in being married, so there’s an understandable desire by those who are coupled but not under contract to have their relationships valued, too.

Unfortunately, there really isn’t a good term for introducing an unmarried partner, although some options might be: “My Yoko Ono,” “my consort,” “my

constant,” “my boy-toy,” “my everything,” or, during a rough patch, “my plus-one, Bob.” But, do you really need to explain your relationship immediately? Frankly, if more of the smug married people out there were as honest and concrete as you’re trying to be, they’d drop that convenient spousal shorthand of “Meet my husband” for something like “This is the man I refuse to have sex with. I’ve fantasized for years about strangling him in his sleep, but it’s a tough economy and I’m in retail.”

I see you’re an adherent of the suck-itup school of clinical analysis, Guy, which is my default attitude too. Overweight?

Eat less and exercise more. Nervous and depressed? Get a grip. Spurting carotid artery? Nothing some finger pressure and a butterfly bandage won’t solve.

However, not everybody shares our gritty pioneer spirit. Thus we’re obliged to plunge into the research literature.

There’s no denying your main point: people lose weight when they burn more calories than they consume.

While outright coercion may not be the best way of going about it, you can make anyone lose weight if you get the input-output balance right.

The problem is your assumption that a medical condition is just an excuse.

Many medical problems can lead to weight gain, and some of these can legitimately be described as hormonal conditions. One relatively common example is hypothyroidism, which afflicts about 5 percent of the population.

Essentially your metabolism slows down, meaning you’re not converting enough food into energy. Polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, which affects 7 percent of women, can also lead to weight gain for reasons that aren’t clear.

Many women with PCOS are insulinresistant: their cells don’t absorb glucose as readily as they used to, and the excess gets stored as fat. Insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes, is a fairly common problem linked to obesity. But it’s simplistic to say insulin resistance makes you fat. On the contrary, though much remains to be learned, resistance is generally thought to be the effect rather than the cause of weight gain. After that, relevant hormonal conditions get scarce pretty fast. Cushing’s syndrome, caused by abnormally high levels of the hormone cortisol, can lead to specific types of weight gain, but fortunately it’s rare. Human growth hormone deficiency may result in increased body fat, but that’s a rare ailment too.

Sometimes medications can lead to weight gain. For example, about half of schizophrenic patients and two-thirds of bipolar disorder sufferers are obese due

to a combination of illness-related factors and side effects from their antipsychotic medications. Depression can lead to obesity, and so can antidepressants, many of which list weight gain among possible side effects. Those who take corticosteroids for asthma or other problems can put on weight as well.

Is obesity genetic? Maybe in part.

Research suggests 16 percent of the population has a version of the fat-massand obesity-associated gene, known as FTO, that increases one’s propensity to put on the pounds. However, the amount of extra weight attributable to this gene is small, just 7 pounds on average. Likewise, a few overweight folks have problems with their leptin receptor genes, which can lead to early obesity by suppressing the signals that tell the body it’s had enough to eat. Roughly 10 percent of us have an insulin-affecting gene that increases the risk of obesity.

Still, while medical or genetic conditions play a role, most serious students of the obesity epidemic are lining up with you, Guy: too much shoveled in, not enough burned off.

Truth is, nowadays it’s easy to get fat— all you have to do is eat what’s put in front of you. The percentage of meals eaten away from home has doubled since 1978; during roughly the same period, restaurant portions have been supersized, and average U.S. food intake has increased by 200 calories per day.

Our ability to judge what food will do to our waistlines is notoriously bad.

In one particularly appalling study from 2006, 193 consumers were asked to estimate the calorie content of an order of cheese fries with ranch dressing.

Average guess: 869 calories. Actual damage: 3,010 calories. Today, one U.S. adult in three are obese, more than double the rate in 1980. You can’t blame hormones for that drastic increase. Do we chalk it up to the American public’s pathetic lack of willpower? My inner puritan says yes. However, there’s no question that the masses are being hammered by a relentless outside force, namely the ever-present voice asking, “You want fries with that?”
