High Thrive I absolutely loved Eric Johnson’s story on the movie Thrive. (“Jive,” Cover Story, May 16.) It’s got nothing to do with whether I agree or disagree; just that it’s a fantastically

written, balanced piece. Just some positive feedback, and I hope to see more stuff like it.

KEITH BARNES

Disinformation A secret or shadow group comprised of big government, industry, military and money is indisputably attempting to destroy our constitutional democracy.

Unfortunately, it is succeeding.

The overall thrust of Thrive is the unveiling in broad strokes of this shadow group.

There are parts of this monumental and shocking story of corruption that easily lend themselves to criticism. Enter Eric Johnson. Whether or not it is his

intention, he is acting as an agent of disinformation to draw attention away from the positive overall intent of the film.

His misguided labeling of Thrive as “pseudo-science, utopian fantasy and veiled right-wing conspiracy theory” utilizes name-calling in a disrespectful way, classic in disinformation techniques. By such writing, he is actually harming the progressive agenda, which needs to educate citizens about the secret or shadow government. Johnson looks for the worst aspects of what some of the presenters have said and then suggests that these negate the basic premise of the film. We suspect that Johnson has a few silly quotes that could be brought up from his past, too.

Although Alth h we ttend d tto h hold ld all ll off them in high regard, all the folks who signed the statement distancing themselves from Thrive have definitely disappointed us. It strikes us that these folks are jumping ship at the first sign of danger by distancing themselves from the challenges that accompany courageous action.

THE FLY

The Affair Continues Last week Fly speculated on the potential demise of the Mercury News’ weekly political column, Internal Affairs. As it turns out, the column continues to run in print but wasn’t posting consistently online in May. IA’s latest column paraphrased Mark Twain by declaring rumors of its death greatly exaggerated. We probably would’ve known that if we were willing to shell out for the Sunday paper instead of reading online for free.

How People Hide Political Contributions

The Koonzy Paddle

by Wes Finlay

w/ Steve Trinwith, Wendy HowardBenham, Stephanie Marsh Ballard and Wes Finlay

Opens June 1st, 2012 for a limited 2 week run Tickets from $10 - $25 at UIFLPPO[ZQBEEMF DPN t 408-400-3818 The Hal Todd Theatre San Jose State University 203 E. San Fernando St. San Jose

LINDA TOENISKOETTER is a yoga instructor; Kelley Rubino is a hair stylist; Kristina Campisi is a homemaker; and Lee Brandenburg is retiredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all major contributors to local campaigns.

Make no mistake, the contributions are legal, and the contributors have every right to engage in the political system.

But their listed occupations fail to connect them to interests that normally cause people to become major players in local politics.

Ms. Toeniskoetter is married to Chuck Toeniskoetter, whose business is commercial real estate. Ms. Rubino is related to Salvatore Rubino Jr., who is a manager at Valley View Packing. In addition, retirees Rebecca and Sal Rubino Sr. are also maxedout contributors. Kristina Campisi is related to four other Campisi family members who maxed out contributionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;their business is Campisi Construction. And Lee Brandenburg is the patriarch and former head of Brandenburg Properties. His son and an employee are also listed as major donors.

The practice these folks engage in is called bundling. To get around contribution limits, special interests collect individual checks from family members, employees and personal friends, and deliver the checks to a campaign. While it is legal, the practice is a circumvention of the campaign lawsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; intent, which is to limit the inďŹ&#x201A;uence of special-interest contributions.

The ethics laws imposed by the city of San Jose and others are a joke. Limiting contributions and expenditures has simply forced more creativity in the process. Individual council campaigns may have expenditure limits, but third-party independent expenditure committees

do not. The law effectively relieves candidates from the responsibility of messaging that goes out on their behalf.

The remedy for the problem is to simplify the law. Remove contribution and expenditure limits but strictly require full disclosure of contributors.

All contributions should be posted publicly within 24 hours of receiptâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; we live in the age of technology, when information is actually more important than money.

That is not to say money doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have inďŹ&#x201A;uence on the process. But if money were the only factor that determined elections, our governor would be Meg Whitman.

Developers, real estate interests, garbage and construction companies are not necessarily bad people. But if a candidate gets major funding from these interests, it is fair and important to point out. Where a person gets their ďŹ nancial support is usually a good gauge of the philosophy that person will bring to public office.

It can also explain why the San Jose City Council might vote to give developers $3 million in tax breaks.

Heck, for $3 million, I could get my wife and four kids to max out. Sometimes it pays to have a large family.

First of all, I must confess that some of Gorightlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous conspiracy sleuthing, now included in this new dossier, was the inspiration behind two columns I wrote a few years ago. His interviews with Jeffrey Deane Turner, the dude originally busted for stalking â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s pop star Tiffany, were so compelling that I had to track down Mr. Turner in Santa Cruz, where he lives.

As Turner and I breakfasted at the Attic, he spilled a congested interdimensional smorgasbord of conspiracy theory. The â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s sex kitten Tuesday Weld was descended from a bloodline of Druidic witches, as old as Babylon, who indoctrinated her into the Illuminati as a child in order to secretly puppeteer the entire â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s counterculture.

In the Illuminati, Turner told me, Bob Hope was the entertainment director, and the Rosicrucians are the branch of research and

development. The Illuminati, he said, is currently hashing out world domination with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old secular right-wing of international fascism,â&#x20AC;? which is now revamped vis-Ă -vis a worldwide underground expansion of the infamous Process Church of the Final Judgment and spearheaded by one of Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former classmates from Homestead High School.

As I ďŹ nished my eggs Benedict at the Attic, the 54-year-old Turner told me that Tiffany herself is the founder and leader of a third secret society, the All Nations Group, hinting at another royal bloodline. Throughout our entire conversation, Turner kept circling back to bloodlines and ethnicities, inquisitively probing me on my own genealogy and background.

I have Adam Gorightly to thank for indoctrinating me into the Jeff Turner Experience, much more of which is now recapitulated in Happy Trails to High Weirdness. In the book, he exposes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dark Side of the Summer of Love,â&#x20AC;? including supposed black magic rituals at the Chateau Liberte in the Santa Cruz Mountains, plus lurid histories of the Manson Family and Moby Grape founder Skip Spence.

That only scratches the surface. In the book, Gorightly also illuminates the history of Holy City in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a hoaxish Bigfoot-related press conference in Palo Alto and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pilgrimage to Conspiracy Con.â&#x20AC;? In that last ditty, he reveals a trip to the conference in 2009, which also included a jaunt to Rosicrucian Park and the ill-conceived Quetzalcoatl statue in Plaza de Cesar Chavez. Yes, no matter how hard San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s politicians try to market or rebrand our city, people will always know the Rosicrucians and the poop statue.

The book also includes an authoritative trip to the Retro UFO conference in Landers, where Bob Benson demonstrated a working model of the Integraton, an acousti acoustic energy dome situated on a geomag geomagnetic vortex in the Mojave Desert.

Alon Along with Benson, everyone gets ink ink: Robert Anton Wilson, Aleiste Aleister Crowley, L. Ron Hubbard, the Chu Church of Satan, JFK, Uri Geller, Elizabe Elizabethan-era mages, 33rd-degree Masons, Tim Leary, the Sirius Mysterius, Nixon and so much more. Were the UFO contactees actually ritual magickians? You must read to ďŹ nd out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crackpot history is a doubleedged sword,â&#x20AC;? Gorightly says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I write about a lot of interesting and colorful characters who could be classiďŹ ed as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crackpots.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; On the other hand, a lot of people suspect the same of me.â&#x20AC;? In the end, Gorightly claims all heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to do is question consensus reality in all its manifest forms. Pretty much like any conspiracy enthusiast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the core, this is what good conspiracy research is all about,â&#x20AC;? he writes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking behind the scenes of world events and asking the tough questions, as to who is manipulating our consensus reality, and what we can do individuallyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and as a united frontâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to break free of the programming and thus create our own realities.â&#x20AC;?

Here, one of the biggest signs belongs to the smallest slice of the shelf. Wedged between unpopular cuts like veal, and the leading “natural” brand, this upstart grassfed beef supplier may have only a small foothold in the market, but it is not shy about it. “Good for

the planet. Good for you. Good for the animal,” Estancia Beef boldly proclaims.

Sounds good to the thoughtful consumer who would prefer to take the path of lesser harm. And the price isn’t bad. Could there be a catch?

Estancia’s grass-fed beef is imported from Uruguay. You can imagine the consternation, or what one observer in the industry jokingly terms, “adjective conflict.” We’re so familiar with the benefits of sustainable and local agriculture, in other words, that we often conflate the two. Could grass-fed beef imported from half a world away have a lower carbon footprint than both conventional corn-fed beef and domestically produced grass-fed beef, as Estancia claims—or is there such a thing as greenwashing red meat?

To get a more personalized answer, we don’t have to go far.

Privately held Estancia Beef is a local company. Co-founder Bill Reed also runs a cattle ranch just south of Petaluma, at the end of a rustic lane shaded with live oak and bay laurel.

In answer to the question begging, Reed throws open the doors to a big barn. In a few weeks, the barn will be filled with hay trucked in from Oregon, Southern California and maybe even Arizona. For the next eight to nine months, the cattle here will have to feed on hay while the California summer degrades the pasture, still half-green in late May, into nutritionally useless husks.

This demonstration is the first basis for Estancia’s environmental claims. Hay requires fuel and fossil fuel–derived fertilizers to grow, harvest and transport. In South America, cattle live their whole lives on the lush pampas. On the pampas of Argentina, raising great, grass-fed beef is hard to screw up.

Reed and his friend and cofounder J.P. Thieriot know a thing or two about the cattle business—

and just as importantly, about business. Thieriot, who manages operations in Uruguay, is a Bay Area native with an Argentinean mother, and spent time on Argentine cattle ranches before going into the tech business.

Reed, a lanky, fair-haired 45-yearold, grew up on a Virginia cattle ranch. Out of college, he consulted for a Czech brewery, worked his way from truck driver to director of operations at Odwalla, and went on to become CEO of New Leaf Paper.

So what about the other shoe to drop on Estancia’s carbon footprint—the transportation costs? Reed says that their internal research suggests that it’s minuscule compared to a grainfed operation. Based on Michael Pollan’s calculations, the average grain-finished beef product uses four-tenths of a gallon of fuel per pound. Estancia’s product, shipped in chilled containers by boat from Uruguay, nets .0015 gallons per pound.

Reed has placed himself in the sights of critics from all sides. “There are a few rabid locavores,” Reed recalls, who complained, “I can’t believe you are doing this!”

More surprisingly, he’s taken flak from the mainstream beef industry.

“Early on, when I started the business, I got a call from one of the big feedlot producers. ‘Who the fuck do you think you are,’” the cattleman bellowed, “‘You and Michael Pollan and your San Francisco liberal friends.’”

“My goal is not to take business from the local guys,” Reed says, positing the choice to buy their grass-fed, South American beef as a consumer’s first step. “My job is to take business from Cargill and Tyson.”

“What I’ve learned in my career with environmental companies is there’s really no right answer,” Reed philosophizes. “We’re humans, we’re taking things from the earth.

Estancia is not perfect; we’re in the middle. We’re more progressive than what 99 percent of what the industry is doing.” Reed compares his business to the Prius. “The Prius isn’t perfect, it uses gas, it gets 40 miles to the gallon,” he says. “But it’s a great addition to our culture. Oh, and by the way, it’s imported.”

N_Xk Yifl^_k pfl kf JXe Afj\6 Actually, I moved to Oakland in 2002, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been back and forth from Indiana to L.A., then back to the bay. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to call San Jose my new home since summer 2011. I just started teaching at Evergreen Valley College this past semester, and my lovely ďŹ ancee and her family are from the South Bay. N_Xk `ejg`i\[ pfl kf cXleZ_ k_`j gifa\Zk6 Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always enjoyed eating and making good food, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a nice pot of pho, re-creating the amazing Boiling Crab sauce, throwing down on a steak burger or perfecting my Neapolitan pizza pie. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had a love for food, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to start up my own shop/eatery. By launching the Kickstarter project, it allowed me to ďŹ nally pursue my dreams.

N_Xk dXb\j k_\ g\i]\Zk g`qqX6 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the dough. I would let you in on the details, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top secretâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not even my family knows! The crust is crucial in making a perfect pizza. Without that, you might as well just pick up a box of frozen Totinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from the grocery store.

N_XkĂ&#x160;j k_\ dfjk leljlXc kfgg`e^ pfl _Xm\ lj\[6 My future fatherin-law, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vietnamese-American, suggested that I use some lap xuong [Vietnamese sausage] on my pies. I tried it, but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna have to stay on traditional steam buns and sticky rice.

Pfl d\k pfli B`ZbjkXik\i ^fXc f] ,#'''% N_XkĂ&#x160;j e\ok6 Yes, the online crowd-funding support has been awesome. Our next steps are to reach out and try to become established in San Jose. By offering a mobile pizza cart, we want to serve the community so that they can have a chance to eat locally made Neapolitan pies from scratch.

N_\i\ Xe[ n_\e ZXe n\ Ă&#x201C; e[ pfl6 Currently, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be set up at the Cambrian Park on Wednesday, Willow Glen on Saturday, and Japantown at Sunday farmers markets.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the one whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspired me to pursue my dreams and ambitions. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been my foundation and support throughout this whole thing. And we enjoy eating great pizza together!

metroactive ABSTRACT RUDE

CANDLESPIT COLLECTIVE

Johnny V’s, San Jose Wed – 9pm; free before 10:30pm, $3 after The Cypher’s guest rappers this week are Easy Bay trio Candlespit Collective. With two MCs and one DJ, they like to kick it old school, busting some seriously funky ’80s breakbeats, but they mix it up with little jazzy elements.

And their crazy flow might be too sophisticated for the ’80s, but the spirit and fun of the early days of rap are there in abundance. And if you plan to take your chances on the Cypher’s open mic, one piece of advice: pick some unusual

topics to rap about, like peanut butter or cats or whatever. That way everyone will remember you.

Just saying. (AC)

BEERIJUNA Blank Club, San Jose Wed – 9pm; $5 The name Beerijuana sounds like one of those bands that you’re supposed to describe by saying, “This ain’t your parents’ rock & roll band,” but let’s be honest—your parents have all smoked their fair share of marijuana and downed oceans of beers. As for the superloud, pissed-off hardcore punk that Beerijuana plays, chances are your parents have at least dabbled in a little Black Flag. It has been 30 years, after all. But they probably don’t listen to them anymore, and the volume

D.R.I.

Avalon, Santa Clara Thu – 8pm; $20 It’s a tragedy that millions of headbanger kids only know the metal side of the thrash equation.

The “Big Four” have earned their place in music history, sure, but there was a small army of great hardcore bands that defined the

Ninte en nd do d o cov ver band th he e MINIBOSS SubZ S ZE ERO and th E ES plays he en n re essp pa awn a at Streetlig gh htt.

punk side of “punk/metal.” One of the best was D.R.I., whose Dirty Rotten record set the standard for thrashcore—the fact that it seems to be rereleased every few years shows that even three decades later, those same 22 songs just keep giving and giving to generations of new punks (although their follow-up Dealing With It was arguably even better).

At yet even now, as they play their 30th-anniversary show at the Avalon, they’ve never gotten the credit they deserve. Like the Dead Kennedys’ anthems, D.R.I. songs like “I Don’t Need Society,” “Capitalists Suck” and “Reaganomics” actually stood for something—resistance of the faster, loudest order. The band has been on and off, and hasn’t written a new song in years, but who cares? Time to give this band its due. (SP)

THE A-TEAM Avalon, Santa Clara Fri – 8pm; $10 The paths of Aceyalone and Abstract Rude have crossed so many times over the years that their legacies as the collective soul of the L.A. underground hiphop movement have completely intertwined at this point. They were in Haiku D’Etat together, and of course they’re both all over that landmark first Project Blowed CD .

Between them, they’ve dropped some of alt-hip-hop’s best lines ever, and their best collaborations were on their A-Team stuff. They haven’t recorded as the A-Team in years, but since they seem to bring out the best in each other,

SUBZERO FESTIVAL SoFA District Friday – 6pm; free SubZERO returns to San Jose for its fifth year of art, performance and music. In those five years, SubZERO has consistently brought cutting-edge artists to San Jose, not to mention some dynamic off-the-charts bands.

Some bands to be sure to check out this year are the Minibosses, a Nintendo-theme-song cover band from Arizona; San Francesca, a local band that delivers equal parts guitar-driven indie rock

and electro-pop; Comfort Slacks, a goofy, geeky synth-pop duo from Napa; Street Drum Corps; and Blank Manuscript, which will be performing all the tracks from their new album at South First Billiards. (AC)

BOAR HUNTER Blank Club, San Jose Fri–9pm; $8 Boar Hunter make it a point to tell people they’re not a metal band, and it’s true. They’re more of a punk supergroup, with Rob Fraser of Whiskey Sunday and Branch Benson of Shitkickers joining up with Nathan Jones of Santa Cruz thrash band Uzi Suicide. Still, the band gets heavy, mixing metal riffs into its hardcore breakdowns. (SP)

SUGARLAND Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View Fri – 7:30; $64 and up Sugarland’s tour is somewhat unexpected, as the duo, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, announced last November that they’d be taking time to consider the future of the band. They are coming off a year of tragedy and triumph, with their Academy of Country Music Award win for Vocal Duo of the Year and the success of The Incredible Machine and the song “Stuck Like Glue” overshadowed by the collapse of the stage at their Indiana State Fair show in August, which killed seven people. In October, they held a benefit concert in honor of those killed, and there’s no doubt this tour will be about exorcising some demons. (SP)

A lot of chip-music artists seem to be less interested in the music’s original connection to 8-bit video games. That’s a natural reaction to feeling boxed in by expectations. The Minibosses have no such fear. In fact, the further the music wanders from the shadow of the original arcade composers, the deeper the Minibosses seem to dig in to their position as the world’s No. 1 Nintendo cover band.

With a mix of rock, metal, drum ’n’ bass, and everything else under the sun, they breathe new life into classic video game themes. They’ll also perform at SubZERO on Friday. (SP)

As For Greater Glory tells the story, a general, Enrique Gorostieta Velarde (Andy Garcia), a vet of the Revolution—and an atheist—is hired to lead the religious guerrillas. General Velarde’s work is cut out for him. His troops are either green, volunteers or priests like the armed Father Vega (Santiago Cabrera). Also in his ranks are sombreroed, bandolier-covered bandits. One chief (Oscar Isaac) is nicknamed “El Catorce” for killing 14 federales in a single skirmish.

For Greater Glory mentions the heroic women who smuggled the bullets to the rebels, although one of the most exciting exploits of these women is left unfinished right in the middle of the story. The film also remembers the clerics who were executed—Peter O’Toole evokes melancholy tenderness as Father Christopher. For Greater Glory evokes

h outrage iit seeks k when h the h ancient i the priest goes to the wall. The wantonness of his death is surprisingly effective: “worse than a crime, a blunder.”

But to expand on that reference to Napoleon: watching For Greater Glory is like going to see a film about the emperor and discovering it’s actually about his favorite drummer boy.

Everything stops (particularly in the third act) to follow young José, an altar boy who becomes a Cristero warrior.

He’s played by the appallingly sweet Mauricio Kuri.

Director Dean Wright is a visualeffects supervisor who worked on The Lord of the Rings, and scriptwriter Michael Love is a norteamericano raised in Mexico. (The film is in English, with Spanish subtitles in some markets.)

Mexicans might feel slightly miffed about the casting of Blades, Cabrera, Garcia and Isaac (born in Panama, Venezuela, Cuba and Guatemala, respectively), but James Horner’s soundtrack is a worse form of deraza-ination. Does Horner actually watch the movies he’s scoring? Such audio swill in a film about a nation responsible for some of the best music in the world ...

For Greater Glory R Opens Friday.

Church in Revolt

The scenery is sweeping, from the spiny Chihuahua ridges to the mossy, whitewashed campaniles. The art direction and the costumes are handsome. El Catorce refers sneeringly to Velarde as “catrin” (a dude), and he is just that dapper.

Garcia can be a little passive and abstracted, like William Hurt. So his attack on this role (firm, with a smoker’s burr in his voice) is as interesting as his bemusement about religion, however much he gets nagged on the subject by his wife (Eva Longoria).

For Greater Glory (the title echoes Graham Greene’s novel about the religious persecutions, The Power and the Glory) stages battle scenes with the technical finesse of late-period John Wayne films. The heroes here are certainly the best marksmen since the Duke died. Unfortunately, there’s also the kind of slow-mo glory-and-sadness of war tableaux Edward Zwick wore out years ago.

The film’s production company, New Land, has as its logo a Spanish ship with a cross on its sail. This suggests where Velarde’s spiritual journey will end. “You declared war on freedom!” the general tells his president, nudging today’s crusaders in the audience.

Like all serious revolutionaries, the Cristeros were tough customers.

Here, they only commit one of their atrocities, and that one by accident: a train-burning occurs during what looks like Father Vega’s absence of mind.

If Garcia’s general murmurs something about his problems with the Church, exactly what those problems are is strictly off the table.

Also missing in action are Calles’ reasons for chasing out the clerics, and the Vatican’s reasons for not getting officially involved.

While U.S. Ambassador Dwight Morrow (the able Bruce Greenwood) arrives to cool things off, the oil politics remain quite murky. For Greater Glory pays homage to the beatified, but it’s the sinners who could better explain what happened during the Cristero war.

Revivals

Trainspotting KIROKAZU KOREEDA, director of Nobody Knows, is likely the best kid-wrangler alive. He returns to the familiar terrain with I Wish. A bohemian family has been split down the middle by divorce. The diffident, passive mom takes the older son, Koichi (Koki Maeda) to go live with his grandparents in the subtropical south in Kagoshima, under an active volcano.

Oshiro Maeda (Koki’s real-life sibling) plays the bushy-haired younger brother Ryunosuke, who lives with his negligent, moderately successful rock-musician father many miles away.

The brothers decide to plot a reunion.

With a childish certainty in magic, they believe that they can wish their family back together. All it will take is meeting on the spot where two bullet trains pass, when they travel down on their opposite routes.

Koreeda fills in some delicate touches about the way Koichi’s half-employed grandfather (the grave yet droll Isao Hashizume) is pressed for money by the return of his relatives. Grandfather decides to make some cash by reviving a traditional cake called a “karukan”; it’s gone out of fashion because it’s not as sweet as today’s confections.

The grandfather’s friends advise him

(PG-13; 127 min.) The second Snow White adaptation of 2012 (what’s in the water down in Los Angeles?) comes from the producers of 2010’s blockbuster Alice in Wonderland (never mind, it’s box-office receipts gushing out of those faucets). The film stars Kristen Stewart (of Twilight fame) as the titular princess-to-be; Chris Hemsworth (of The Avengers fame) as the titular Huntsman; and Charlize Theron (who, I guess, was in Monster) as the evil queen. (Opens valleywide Fri.)

to dye the cakes pink to capitalize on the cherry-blossom theme of the bullet train. The grandfather refuses: “As a craftsman there are some things I cannot compromise upon.”

The “mellow,” unsweet f lavor of the cakes seems to be what Koreeda seeks in cinematic form. @ N`j_ At times, I Wish plays like a Charles PG; 128 min.

Schulz comic. Early Opens Friday on, a teacher takes issue with his student’s paper, since the boy has answered the question of what he wants to be when he grows up: “an insect.”

Since the director lets the children lead the way in his movie, I Wish seems to be running on children’s time. The development of the kids’ stories means many discursions, so that the children can explore their world. Thus I Wish is as gently humorous as it is overlong.

This is a leisurely film that stops to remark at a gang of kids’ surprise at an abandoned field overgrown with cosmos. And it is a film that pauses to note the humorous gravity of old loafers lounging over their Sapporos on a warm night.—Richard von Busack

THE CROWD ROARS/ RED LINE 7000 (1932/1965) Unlike most men who direct films about the world of car racing, Howard Hawks had done a bit of it; this, coupled with the half-dozen Indianapolis winners he had working on the film, added some dash to this race-car epic about the rivalry between a pair of racing brothers (James Cagney and Eric Linden); Joan Blondell and Ann Dvorak co-star. BILLED WITH Red Line 7000. “I saw it in a book—if love makes sense, it is not love.”

Lines like that (and the jazzy title) are the salient features in this film about a gang of stock car racers of the Richard Petty era. The young James Caan is the show’s center.

Nelson Riddle’s fine title theme is diluted by a series of terrible rock versions of public-domain tunes.

Shown in 16mm. (Plays Jun 6-7 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.)

NILES FILM MUSEUM Regularly scheduled programs of silent films. Jun 2–3: Charlie Chaplin Days. About a hundred years ago, the actor lived here for a short time, before going on to become the most beloved actor of his era.

Today, this nicely preserved town,

just a few miles, yet seemingly a world away from the I-80 corridor, commemorates Charlie Chaplin in a two-day festival. On view: shorts, features and (Jun 2, 4pm) a 1964 KPIX-TV documentary called When the Movies Came From Niles. (Plays Jun 2-3 in Fremont at the Edison Theatre.) (RvB)

THE OUTLAW/CORVETTE K-225 (Both 1943) “How would you like to tussle with Russell?” The Outlaw was a troubled film before and after release; Howard Hawks left it as producer Howard Hughes took over. Too many commentators were blinded by Jane Russell’s great figure to note the thunderous sullenness of the actress (she’s a gateway drug to Elvis). Her rack became a salient point in both the making and advertising of a berserk Billy the Kid tale, with Walter Huston as Billy’s pal (or more) Doc Holliday. Meanwhile, Thomas Mitchell’s Pat Garrett waits for vengeance. Thirteen years later, the notoriety hadn’t worn off: the 1956 Hot Blood was advertised with the line “See Jane Russell shake her tambourines!” BILLED WITH Corvette K-225. Hawks produced this wartime tale of the escort ships following the Canadian convoys from Halifax to England, but his sometime secondunit director Richard Rosson actually accompanied the ships to gather footage of the war. (Plays May 30-31 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.)

RED RIVER/ O. HENRY’S FULL HOUSE (1948/1952) Rancher John Wayne has had it up to here with his foster son Montgomery Clift in Howard Hawks’ intergenerational battle set against a cattle drive from Texas to Oregon.

BILLED WITH O. Henry’s Full House.

In Hawks’ sequence in this five-part selection, a different kind of brat than Clift disturbs idiotic kidnappers (oncerenowned sourpusses Oscar Levant and Fred Allen). Hawks’ section was clipped before distribution, turning the full house into a straight. John Steinbeck hosts this anthology film.

Jean Negulesco’s “The Last Leaf” exemplifies that director’s significant talent with women’s material. Noted critic David Thomson introduces the Jun 2 screening of Red River at 7:30pm. (Plays Jun 1-3 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

“EXTRAORDINARY!” BERNIE (PG-13; 98 min.) Brilliant Richard Linklater comedy regarding a plump and dainty mortician (Jack Black) of the piney-woods town of Carthage, Texas, and his relationship of sorts with the richest and most vicious widow in town, Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine). If it sounds like a put-down to describe acting as pulling faces, MacLaine pulls the best faces seen this year or in many years. It’s based on a true-life murder case, originally reported in the Texas Monthly by the film’s co-scriptwriter Skip Hollandsworth. Linklater keeps in almost all the details of the bizarre story. But this film version goes more meta, as per Linklater’s career skill in hunting down a vibe in Slackers, et al.

Through interviews with the startlingly acute locals, Bernie celebrates the contradictory charm and awfulness of such a small town. (RvB)

drinking shrink Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham-Carter) tends to poor neglected young David (Gulliver McGrath). And there’s a Lolita of a 15year-old niece: Chloe Grace Moretz, too good for this. Burton keeps thwarting her sensible plan to steal this formless movie. Dark Shadows goes unusually dirty, with Depp and villain Eve Green’s

“THE BEST ‘MEN IN BLACK’ YET”

“WILL SMITH IS BACK! AND BETTER THAN EVER.” Shawn Edwards / FOX-TV

THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL (PG-13, 122 min.) Based on Deborah Moggach’s These Foolish Things, it’s a summit meeting of great British thespians: seven distinguished elders meet in a story held together by a peeling retirement hotel in Jaipur, a Raj-era ruin. A widow gradually blossoms (Judi Dench); a married man shows modest enchantment (Bill Nighy); a wizened gent becomes a randy goat (Ronald Pickup); a wife (Penelope Wilton) responds with absolute disgust to the heat and noise and insects and the filth. Some Desiinterest and perfunctory under-60 love interest arises in the form of the Marigold’s hapless manager Sonny (Dev Patel). But watching something impressive, such as the scene of Tom Wilkinson’s Graham sitting in a garden and unfolding on his personal life, I thought, “This is really fine playwriting.

Too bad it’s a film.” And the arc careens too high for Maggie Smith, as a terrified Cockney racist who suddenly proves her unlikely super-powers. (RvB)

THE CHERNOBYL DIARIES (R; 90 min.) Six tourists hire arguably the world’s worst tour guide to take them to the abandoned post-nuclear city of Pripyat, the former home of the infamous Chernobyl nuclear reactor— only to find that the abandoned city isn’t so abandoned after all. Either the film is in the “found footage” format or on-location radiation is seriously messing with the camera.

Last Cannes Standing THE FILM snobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite time of year is upon us. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our second round of recaps from the Cannes Film Festival.

Michael Hanekeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aptly titled Amour uses a deceptively simple plot to dive headďŹ rst into some of the most basic components of the human experience: love, life and death.

Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Anne (Emmanuelle Riva) are a retired musician couple whose quiet life is disrupted when the latter suďŹ&#x20AC;ers a stroke. Opening with a stunning shot of a deceased Anne lying in bed, Haneke slowly and deliberately takes us through the gradual decline in her health and the toll it takes on both her and her husband. An intimate character study that is as touching as it is realistic, Amour is sure to resonate with anyone who has lost a parent or loved one.

Killing Them Softly, an updated adaptation of the 1974 novel Coganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trade, serves as a darkly comedic political allegory via the criminal underworld of the American urban landscape. Despite being artfully shot and edited as per director Andrew Dominickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elegantly minimalist style, the story itself is almost too sparse times, often leaving wide gaps that the audience must ďŹ ll in for themselves. Incorporating sound and video clips from McCain and Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2008 presidential campaigns, Dominick creates stark contrast between the politiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; idealistic words and the dastardly deeds performed by the characters, who are merely pawns in a society driven by self-interested entrepreneurship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;America isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a country,â&#x20AC;? says Brad Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character, a ruthless mob enforcer, in the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nal moments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a business.â&#x20AC;?

The Taste of Money, Korean director Im Sang-Sooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second feature, is a delightfully campy drama centered on an elite criminal family and their complicated web of deceit and borderline incestuous aďŹ&#x20AC;airs. Money canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy happiness, but nevertheless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun

to see the characters struggle to attain it. In addition to the melodrama, the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glossy, chic look also helps distinguish it from the other, less-than-memorable, Korean feature in competition: Hong Sangsooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s In Another Country. Starring Isabelle Huppert as a visitor to a quiet beach resort in three parallel vignettes, the charming characters are not enough to disguise a weak premise, which perhaps would have functioned better as a short rather than feature ďŹ lm.

JeďŹ&#x20AC; Nicholsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eagerly awaited follow-up to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival circuit hit, Take Shelter, foregoes the edginess and unpredictability that landed him on the map for an adventurous coming-of-age story set in the rural South. Mud follows a pair of precocious 12-year old boys who discover a tall-tale-telling fugitive taking refuge on a nearby island. Yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not long before bounty hunters and state troopers descend upon the town, making the boys question both the values of their community and their new-found friend.

Matthew McConaughey stars as the titular character running from the law, opposite Tye Sheridan and Jacob LoďŹ&#x201A;and as the young kids who trust him implicitly. The ďŹ lm functions like a modern retelling of Huckleberry Finn, solidifying Nicholsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reputation as a masterful storyteller.

Un Certain Regard prize-winner DespuĂŠs de Lucia is a dark, haunting tale of a newly widowed father and his teenage daughter who try to move on with their lives after their loss. While at ďŹ rst Alejandra (Tessa la Gonzalez) seems to be adjusting well at her new school, a faux pas at a party cripples her social life as her peersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bullying continues to escalate into appalling cruelty. Gonzalezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance starts out as sympathetic, but unfortunately never moves beyond passive victim. Regardless, a surprise ending keeps After Lucia lingering in the mind long after leaving the theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Misa Shikuma.

recreation of the Jeff Goldblum/Emma Thompson room-wrecking sex scene in The Tall Guy. To enjoy it all, you have to presume 1972 as the most hilarious time ever. Danny Elfman unloads a Dumpster of oldies, primarily sugarfrosted cheese by The Carpenters. A little Alice Cooper helps, but the silent cameo by the real Barnabas, the late Jonathan Frid, says it all: sometimes the disdainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so thick you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd the words.

than to his The Great Dictator, but the ďŹ lm does an homage to the other Dictator ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speechifying ďŹ nale: Cohenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sarcasm against an audience bamboozled by the War on Terror.

(RvB)

MEN IN BLACK 3

(R; 120 min.) Admiral-General Aladeen of Wadiya is tossed out by an impersonator, and has to get the help of Zoey, a Brooklyn health-food store owner (the wonderful Anna Faris) to get his throne back. Working with his regular collaborator Larry Charles, Sacha Baron Cohen has, for the ďŹ rst time, a cast of actors instead of candid-camera victims. Much of the comedy is straight-out appalling, always low, sometimes hilarious.

Particularly terriďŹ c is one scene of an unbilled Kathryn Hahn being aided in childbirth by the dictator. If The Dictator seems episodic, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just because of the way comedy ďŹ lms are made in this decade, with long improvs and subsequent cutting back: a process thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to ďŹ lmmaking what slash and burn is to agriculture. As a result, the relationships start from scratch a lot; the characters seem to be bumping into one another on the New York streets. The plot owes more to Chaplinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A King in New York

(PG-13; 106 min.) Now with more xenophobia: Confusing and gross foreign grub is contrasted to the mental-healing power of a slice of American pie. A reference to Twin Peaks, or a symbol of a franchise turning aged and cranky? The hairy one-armed Boris the Animal (Flight of the Conchordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jermaine Clement) breaks out of a top-security jail and heads back in time to settle an old score with Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones). Meanwhile, the never more fey Agent J (Will Smith) time travels to 1969 to head off an alien invasion and meet up with the younger K. (Josh Brolin); there he encounters a bliss-ninny alien (Michael Stuhlbarg, of A Serious Man) who can see in the ďŹ fth dimension, like one of Vonnegutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trafalmadoreans. The anachronisms stand out and the ďŹ lm is seriously without women, even as eye-candy. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only so much male bonding a man can stand.

And considering the threat of alien invasion, MIB III is undervillained.

It must be hard work writing professional wrestler/super villain threats. The Animal is left with lines like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agree to disagree!â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arrggh!â&#x20AC;? (RvB)

Garmany will be performing with the Holdup, whose first two records both debuted at No. 1 on iTunes’ reggae chart, and who have been in rotation on Live 105 with “Young Fools,” their sorta-cover of Peter

Bjorn and John’s “Young Folks.”

Mellow will lead his electro-pop group Young Science, who got onto the airwaves last year with “Liquor Store,” the single from the debut EP. Both do production at Garmany’s Morgan Hill studio, where Mellow just completed the first Young Science album.

“We’ve been super-good friends since we met in junior high,” says Mellow, taking a break from work at the studio. In fact, he says he picked up his first instrument back then, the bass, just so they could be in a band together. That one never went anywhere, but they do have a hiphop/R&B collaboration now called Twin City, for which they released a free 17-song mixtape.

In light of all that, it’s a little

remarkable that neither their professional collaboration or personal connection has anything to do with the fact that they’re the sole representatives of the South Bay on the BFD lineup this year.

“It was absolute coincidence,” says Mellow. He knows dozens of band are vying for the attention of Aaron Axelsen, the Live 105 DJ who picks the lineup for the Local Band stage, and who first played both Young Science and the Holdup on his Soundcheck show.

Many seem to try to figure an angle that will get them noticed, but Mellow thinks Axelsen’s continued success comes from his straightforward approach: “He just has to like your music. That’s it.”

Axelsen says both Young Science and the Holdup are hard-working bands with great songs, who embody what he wants to showcase in the Bay Area scene. “People ask me all the time, ‘How do I get on the radio, Aaron?’” says Axelsen. “I just say ‘look at what Young Science is doing.’”

Admittedly, getting onto Soundcheck is a lot easier when your song is a catchy slice of synthpop with smart lyrics and an irresistible video featuring the band’s misadventures parenting a sandwich with googly eyes.

“Lucky for me, I love pop music,” says Mellow.

Even luckier was the fact that the ’80s revival was hitting its stride when Mellow formed Young Science in 2009 with his friend Evan Nunez.

“It was really really, weird timing,” he admits. “Eighties pop music is my favorite brand of pop music. I love everything from the ’80s.”

Before that, the 22-year-old Mellow was in the Santa Clara altrock band Picture Atlantic. Though he liked the songwriting of singer Nik Bartunek, their styles seemed to clash. Picture Atlantic’s sound was heavier and more experimental than he really wanted to do, so he pursue his own project, which left to pur Young Science. The two became Yo sometimes play together. groups som Fans of Young Science might be by the hip-hop sound of surprised b other group, Twin City, Mellow’s o although iit features many of the upbeat electro touches and same upbe unmistakable voice. And they’d his unmist be wrong if they guessed his biggest b influence was Depeche Mode or New Order.

“The weird thing is that my biggest influence in music is Randy Newman. No one really knows that,” he says. “I’ve always been such a fan of the way he writes lyrics.”

This year has brought a lot of changes for Young Science. Mellow added two more members live for a more full band sound, but now Nunez is leaving for San Diego, leaving him for the time being with a trio. He also moved from his native San Jose to San Francisco in the last year, although that hasn’t brought as many changes as one might think.

“I’m not living in my mom’s house anymore, so that’s different,” he says.

“I get to work on music later.”

MXe ?Xc\e WILL VAN HALEN even make it to HP Pavilion? The ever-feuding metal legends are apparently at it again, having reportedly “postponed” more than 30 dates on their U.S. summer tour—basically everything after June 26, meaning San Jose slides in by barely a month. No one seems to know exactly what’s going on, but Rolling Stone is reporting that David Lee Roth and the Van Halen brothers are fighting again.

This despite the fact that their current tour is getting rave reviews and only a couple of cracks from Diamond Dave have even hinted at any unrest underneath the onstage smiles. Fans are going crazy not only for their classic songs but even the new ones like “Tattoo” and “She’s the Woman” from A Different Kind of Truth, their first record together in nearly three decades.

HP Pavilion Tue, June 5; 7:30pm $46.50–$146.50

Brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen initially hired Roth to be the vocalist for their band back in 1974, under the kind of circumstances that didn’t exactly suggest a lasting partnership—apparently Roth owned the P.A. and the Van Halens decided they’d rather let him join than pay for it. Within five years, they were on the charts with “Runnin’ With the Devil,” and by their appropriately named 1984 album 1984 they were one of the biggest bands of all time, with hits like “Hot for Teacher,” Panama” and, of course, “Jump.”

But Eddie Van Halen, by this point maybe the most acclaimed guitarist of his generation, never saw eye-to-eye with Roth. Their meltdowns finally pushed Roth to jump into a briefly successful solo career, while Van Halen found success again with new lead singer Sammy Hagar. But the situation with Hagar got equally toxic, especially after he found out that his band was secretly recording with Roth again in 1996. He quit, but alas, Roth and Van Halen couldn’t keep it together, and fans were more than a little bummed to see the band wind up with yet another lead singer, Gary Cherone of Extreme. Soon they were sinking into a sea of half-assed Hagar reunions, and years of complete radio silence.

By 2007, however, Eddie Van Halen got himself into rehab after admitting many of the band’s problems were caused by his own substance abuse, and he and Roth reconciled. Most people expected their 2007 U.S. tour to blow up in their face, but it didn’t. This reunion seemed to stick, which would make it all the more unfortunate—and all-too predictable—if they let it fall apart once again.—Steve Palopoli

CONCERT

MetroGiveaways M etroGiveaways WIN FFREE R EEE STUFF! STUFF!

HAWK JONES’ EARLY recordings paired the unlikely combination of driving punk-rock drumming and weird, fingertapping guitar work, making them a difficult group Caravan to classify. Experimental-punk seemed like the best description. Their new EP, Que Rico, shakes things up a Tue, June 5; 10pm bit. The punk rock edge is toned way down, making it just experimental. It’s not that the drummer has slowed Free down, but the playing is so much more complicated, “punk rock” no longer seems an apt description. It’s much more in the vein of King Crimson and early Tera Melos.

The guitar work, too, is as weird as ever. They implement a lot more strange techniques than just finger-tapping. The guitars are balanced out with a lot more synthesizers than the earlier recordings. It’s a multilayered, math-rock, musical journey.

The songs on the first half of the EP have about 10 sections apiece, not including the weird stops and starts and abrupt breakdowns in-between sections. On the opening track, “Cold Hands,” drummer Joshua Fairfield shows off his spastic chops and approaches his kit from just about every angle except the standard 4/4 rock beat. Every couple measures, guitarist Brandon Foss pulls out a new part, whether it’s power chords, finger tapping or just atmospheric noises. And René Francis Jr., who doubles up on bass and synthesizers, fills out the songs with psychedelic washes and math riff rocking. Nobody in the band stops to take a breath.

Things mellow out a bit on the second half. “Out of Place” is a slow burner.

They stick to one basic riff and work off of that, giving it plenty of minor alterations and nuances. They build through repetition and play with dynamics gradually. That doesn’t mean there aren’t a few abrupt stops, like halfway through the song when Fairfield changes his drum beat and everyone drops out for a couple lines. The synthesizer and guitar re-enter the song gently, creating a dissonant, slow build to the finish.

Vocals are few and far between. “Pop Grass,” probably the most accessible song on the record, follows a more standard structure, with actual repeating vocal parts and a guitar riff and synth part that would almost fit an Interpol song. Of course, with the weird instrumentation between vocals and a twenty-second drum outro, it probably won’t be getting on the radio anytime soon, not that Hawk Jones crafted one second of this EP with that in mind.—Aaron Carnes
