Can’t Stand The Heat In the article “Memories of Jack” by Gary Singh in the May 23-29 Issue,

the writer mentions an explosion that happened at a restaurant at First and Santa Clara streets in the early ’60s. It was in fact in the basement of JCPenney, caused by a boiler. Not in a restaurant. It was big news back then. Otherwise a good article.

ERNEST ORTA SR. | SAN JOSE

Affront to Dignity Let me get this straight: An heir to the Procter and Gamble fortune holes up in Santa Cruz, where he makes an infinitesimal withdrawal from his mighty scrooge vault in order to produce a documentary alleging clandestine Jewish world

domination (“Jive,” Cover Story, May 16). As his luck would have it, he chose one of the only counties in the country where such cloacal dribblings can receive a perceptibly positive public reception (or any public reception). And, according to Rico and Claire Baker (“Disinformation,” May 30), the journalist who points out Little Lord Fauntleroy’s new clothes is the actual agent of disinformation in this scenario?

To borrow the words of a man far wiser than me: History doesn’t unfold according to some script.

Actual people make everyday decisions at every socioeconomic level, across every profession and position of authority, due to varied and often disparate confluences

off motives ti and d infl i fluences across a staggeringly broad spectrum of same. Vague as it is, that proposition can be checked against a massive body of empirical evidence. Next to nothing of the hyper-minutia underpinning the meta-narrative of Thrive can be.

It’s a prick in one’s dignity to have to be the one to reply to all this soft-headedness, but even when your interlocutor is a hippie who emotively supports the presidential candidacy of a Confederacynostalgia–propagating John Birch nutter with two first names, it still needs to be done, if only for the benefit of some third party standing off to the side.

To paraphrase, he said he was blown away with all the company perks. Asking him questions, as they both sat there onstage in a repurposed 19th-century brick building, was conference co-organizer Jean-François Bouchard.

For C2-MTL, an abandoned industrial coal factory complex was converted into a villagelike venue for an ultrasplashy gathering

attended by numerous C-level execs, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, designers, animators, neuroscientists, consultants, architects and more, all exchanging ideas on how to be more creative and innovative in the workplace.

Collaboration between left-brain and right-brain thinking and across different fields of expertise steered the entire affair, the presentations, the theatrics, the conversations and the solicitation of the sponsorships.

Not simply another suit-and-tie “summit” with executives talking only to each other in a chain hotel with bad coffee, C2-MTL was part business conference, part Burning Man, part creativity workshop and part disco. I felt transplanted to an alternative Silicon Valley of French Canada, where creativity is the most important human quality.

Luminous art-lounges hosted collaborative breakout sessions, while interactive digital art installations

occupied two galleries. Catering staff served quail hors d’oeuvres.

Quebecois women in shorts and high heels paraded around with clipboards to make sure the 1,200-plus attendees knew where to go. Fifteen thousand tweets, in either French or English, emerged over the course of four days.

Just one of many high-level interviewees, Pichette, originally from Montreal himself, spilled the beans on his financial vision for Google.

“If you have a mission of changing the world, and you’re not targeting a billion people, you’re wasting your time,” he said. “And if I’ve got an audience of a billion, I can monetize it.”

Continuing, Pichette talked about how employees at the Googleplex in Mountain View ride expensive Italian bicycles from building to building. He also lauded Google’s organic cafeterias. In Montreal, gastronomy and cycling are the second and third religions after hockey, so this remark brought cheers from the locals. As expected, he also championed Google’s whimsical work environment, claiming the company’s unique perks lead to more creative employees.

Pichette was hardly the most renowned character at the event,

which also included Arianna Huffington, Michael Eisner, Ian Schrager, Jennifer Yuh Nelson, Autodesk kingpin Carl Bass and Cirque du Soleil honcho Daniel Lamarre. Bass, for example, called bullshit on everything Pichette said, claiming none of Google’s perks really make the employees any more productive.

On another note, IBM used C2MTL as a platform to announce the results of its 2012 Global CEO Survey, in which they found openness and connectivity to be the most important characteristics CEOs need as they move into the future.

Fast Company used the conference as a platform to announce the winners of its 100 Most Creative People in Business for 2012. In both those cases, IBM and Fast Company functioned as main sponsors not by simply plastering their logos all over everything, but by serving as a major component of the conference itself.

The dialog between the curators and the sponsors, and the actual organization of the event, was, on a higher level, the same dialog evolving onstage in the presentations and the panel sessions. The entire operation was a multilayered creative-selfdiagnostic crossover of sorts. With tattooed Francophone babes and thumping house music thrown in.

All of the above pertains to Silicon Valley as well, because left-brain management types are realizing they need to pool resources with right-brain creative types if business is to survive in a volatile, constantly changing landscape. If anything, a more open-source form of collaboration across disciplinary boundaries is crucial. The muse is meeting the business plan. C2MTL reinforced my understanding of Silicon Valley as a worldwidenetworked mindset, not a specific geographical place.

An interesting side note: the first person to purchase a ticket for next year’s C2-MTL was Belle Chou, who runs Shen Wei USA, based in Union City.

Not always aesthetic marvels, they are, more and more, proving to be places where intrepid chefs are likely to ply their craft, unrestrained, and try new things. The overhead is lower, and parking is never a problem.

With this in mind, I came to Bistro Tupaz, a small rustic bistro on Santa Teresa Road in south San Jose. It’s located in the corner of a strip mall,

across from a high school—and yet another strip mall. They exist in all directions, and hardly a mile away from each other, multiplying. It’s a suburban wormhole.

The exterior gives away nothing.

Peer inside, and one finds a glass display lined with chocolate meringues, a string of chalkboards advertising steamed whitefish, wild boar sausage or polenta, and a patio in the back, where a few tables and small garden offer a panoramic view of the Santa Teresa hills.

Historically, the bistro was a democratic place, where the newly liberated French, just emerging from under the yoke of an ancient monarchy, demanded comfort food in the appropriate setting: informal, familiar, full of bonhomie. That ideal still lives on in France, but its American cousin is of a somewhat

stuffier predisposition. The word “bistro” gives off a bit of a luxe, exalted vibe.

Bistro Tupaz is closer to both of its European roots. Nine out of 10 dishes are Italian, but the execution is French, with an emphasis on appearance.

The free bread basket began the meal on a high note. I’ve always thought you could judge a restaurant by what it offers as a compliment: the rice and beans at a taqueria, the chutney at an Indian restaurant, the balsamic vinegar at an Italian cafe.

Tupaz’s selection of banana bread, focaccia and croissants were fresh, holding their own even with the two delicious spreads of blood-orange marmalade and goat cheese butter.

Many foodie favorites are not long for this world—blood orange will stay. It tastes as cool as it sounds.

When ordering the goulash ($12.95), I shouldn’t have searched for an approximate of my mother’s great, boozy celebration, but I did. Her version included some mulled wines, Spanish paprika, braised carrots and whatever meat made itself known in the fridge that day. Tupaz’s version

was a bit tame in comparison, omitting vegetables or much spice, but the pork was fork-tender and excellent, just like the blanched Brussels sprouts that came with it.

The remix of cordon bleu replaced the chicken for beef and the ham with prosciutto. It was cooked sous vide, meaning the meat was placed in an airtight plastic bag and submerged in a low-temperature water bath for at least a day. The controlled temperature made the steak supple, yet nonfatty.

And when I cut through the trussing of lean meats, it delivered. I liked the carrots even better, cooked Vichy-style, which doesn’t refer to the French fascists of World War II, but to a method of slow cooking sliced carrots in butter and sugar.

What impressed the most was the bistro burger ($9.95). The patty is ground pork, lamb and beef served on pale, soft focaccia with only a slightly charred onion and some Dijon mustard to its name. With meat this good, a burger needs no adornment.

You will need the ketchup, bright and sweet and made in-house, for the accompanying fries.

The children’s menu doesn’t skimp on the gourmet. I tend to pick over my son’s chicken nuggets, which he learned to enjoy slowly because they were such a far cry from the lifeless giblets his school serves. For $3.95, you could have them with a glass of Riesling and feel pretty decent about it.

The bistro is proud of its desserts and pastries, and I’ve twice witnessed someone do a pastry hit-and-run, filling a box with palmiers, almond croissants and newly minted strawberry and lemon macarons. The torta della nonna is their best offering: a fluffy, round sponge of vanilla, lemon zest and cream, and no two can ever be alike.

The team of chefs is always active, prepping, checking the temperature of hot oil, smearing away juices from a cutting board. The service is otherworldly because it is so humble, mellow and restrained.

Manresa and chef DAVID KINCH celebrate the restaurant’s 10th anniversary in July with a series of “cooking with friends” dinners, July 11–15. On the first three nights, chefs MICHAEL CIMARUSTI of Providence in Los Angeles; JOHN and KAREN SHIELDS, who are opening a restaurant in Philadelphia later this year; and CARLO MIRARCHI of Roberta’s in Brooklyn will each collaborate with Kinch on separate tasting menus for onenight-only dinners.

For the final two nights, Kinch will welcome back some of Manresa’s most notable alumni—BELINDA LEONG, JOHN PAUL CARMONA, CHARLIE PARKER, JAMES SYHABOUT, JEREMY FOX, MICHAEL GAINES and Marty Cattaneo.

Each will prepare a course for the weekend tasting menu.

“This is a huge milestone not only for me but also for the entire team at Manresa,” Kinch says. “I thought the best way to celebrate would be to offer a few one-of-a-kind menus in collaboration with my friends. But I’m most excited about the weekend dinners. I’ve invited some of our former chefs back into the kitchen. It’s fun to be working with them again and to see the ideas they have for the menu.”

The “Cooking with Friends” dinners are $175 per person. The “alumni dinners” are $198. Go to www.manresarestaurant.com for more information.—Stett Holbrook

by Marcia Simmons and Jonas Halpren. Both the book and the blog of the same name are loaded with lively, creative recipes for making your own drinks. Recent recipes on the blog (www.diy-cocktails.com) include delights like a strawberry-basil mojito, blueberry Champagne popsicles, blueberry sparkler and Planter’s Punch with homemade grenadine.

We asked Simmons, a Petaluma-based writer and editor, for the hot summer drink of 2012, and she sent along this tasty watermeloncucumber refresher. “I chose this drink because it’s refreshing and seasonal but also works with a different spirits (though vodka and tequila are the best), and the juice is a good nonalcoholic/kid’s drink,” she says.

WATERMELON-CUCUMBER REFRESHER 1 1/2 ounces vodka or tequila blanco 1/2 ounce triple sec 1/2 ounce watermelon-cucumber-mint juice (recipe below) 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of watermelon or cucumber, or a sprig of mint.

WATERMELON-CUCUMBER-MINT JUICE Yields one cup 2 cups diced, seeded watermelon 1 cup peeled, seeded cucumber 10–12 mint leaves Liquefy all ingredients together in a blender, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard pulp.

B. LEWIS

Johnny V’s, San Jose Thu – 10pm San Jose producer B. Lewis dropped the sexy but sort of mindtwisting video for “Bottom to Top” (from his new collaboration with Miles Bonny, the Egg Black EP) last month, before taking off on a tour of the Midwest. Now that he’s back, he’ll drop into this week’s Treatment, along with two members of the Hella Proper Crew, TKO and Dubstantial, who both appear on the new San Jose Gigantes, Vol. 2 mixtape (love the opening Negativland sample, by the way). (SP)

MANSIONS ON THE MOON Pagoda Lounge, San Jose Thu – 8:30pm; $10 Welcome to post-everything. Your guide: Mansions on the Moon.

This band is often described as “chillwave,” which is like calling an iced half-caf ristretto quad grande two-pump raspberry two percent no whip light ice with bar caramel drizzle a “refreshing beverage.”

There’s so much happening here, enough to make them one of the most interesting (and addictive) up-and-coming bands around.

They mix the song structure of experimental indie rock bands like the Flaming Lips with hiphop beats and a huge payload of electro ambience. It shouldn’t be any surprise that everyone from Deadmau5 to Foster the People to

Washed Out to Mac Miller wants to work with them. File under “catch them now.” (SP)

VUDU CAFÉ Club Fox, Redwood City Fri – 8pm; $14/$16 Is Jesse Flores the “new voice of Chicano Rock?” Ironically, the lead singer of Vudu Café’s biggest competition for the title is coheadlining with him at this show.

That would be Salvador Santana, who some would say has an unfair advantage, being the son of Carlos. But here’s the biggest irony: Flores actually sounds more like Carlos Santana than Salvador does. With a heavy, classic-rock sound defined by Flores’ superbly

Ad du ulltt Sw wim m star UNKN OWN HINSON ph p otto os o hoppiing in tak kes all the fu ffake sside n ou utt o eb bu of urns. (Credit: Osm mu und Geier)

technical guitar and voice, Flores has one foot solidly in the ’60s and ’70s heyday of the genre, while Salvador, with his infusion of hip-hop and other new sounds, has worked hard to get out of the shadow of that legacy. Lumbre opens. (SP)

of Fame, a Top 10 sports anthem referenced by everyone from Bon Jovi to MC Lars to freakin’ Dave Eggers. But most of us who grew up with that song—and maybe “Wind of Change”—as our Scorpions anthems never even realized the band had been around since the mid-’60s. Almost 50 years in music, and Pixar is still using “Send Me an Angel” as the theme for their new tweenerfriendly film? That’s nuts. (SP)

ELVIN BISHOP got some serious math rock chops and do prog-rock jams with jazzy overtones. Sure, these kids may look young and scrappy, but they’ve been well schooled. Guitarists Chris Letford and Travis Levrier studied at the musicians’ institute in L.A. in 2004. Later they even took a “string instrument” building course and built their own custom guitars. If that doesn’t give them a license to riff out sans vocalist, I don’t know what does. (AC)

CURIOUS QUAIL SLG Art Boutiki, San Jose Sat – 7pm; $10 Thank you, Mike Shirley-Donnelly, for taking back clever titles from the emo and math bands. The San Jose singer/songwriter started Curious Quail as a channel for solo acoustic songs, but what it’s become is infinitely more bizarre—and

fascinating. Now songs like “Secret Lives of Retail Monkeys” and “Yesterday I Watched the World End” are wrapped in electro beats that may spin off into unexpected, soaring directions at any time. His one-man project has become a sixman band, adding to the epic drama of a sound that juxtaposes starkly with the immediate intimacy of the lyrics. With PK and Pantheon. (SP)

*sun DEATH BY STEAMSHIP Johnny V’s, San Jose Sun – 5pm; free

Seattle’s Death by Steamship play some loud, dissonant minimalist punk rock that hints at old-school garage

rock but sticks closer to the awkward awkward, jagged riffs of the Gang of Four. Their lead vocalist has a commanding voice perfect for a hardcore band (or to replace lead vocalist Spencer Moody in Murder City Devils, if he ever gets laryngitic). Their songs have a fun, vibrant freshness to them, though the lyrics suggest a band that is dead serious and has something to say.

Even if that’s just complaining about the Internet, having no money and wanting to stagger around town all night drunk. (AC)

*tue UNKNOWN HINSON

Blank Club, San Jose Tuesday – 7pm; $18 adv/$20 dr

If you notice any striking similarities between country singer Unknown Hinson and cartoon character Early Cuyler, one of the redneck squid on Adult Swim’s Squidbillies, it’s because they are both characters played

by Stuart Baker. They have many of the same interests: raising hell, hard liquor and bedding womenfolk. While Early Cuyler is obviously a character, Unknown Hinson isn’t quite as obvious. Well, the fake sideburns and “missing tooth” are pretty strong indicators, but Baker’s relentless commitment to staying in character, on- and offstage, blurs the experience a little bit. He plays silly comedic country songs that his character is dead serious about, which makes it all the more hilarious. And he really can play a mean gee-tar. (AC)

A “magic hour” is the cinematic term for brief periods at dawn and dusk that allow for filming and create striking visual effects. Bissell also uses it

as an apt descriptor for the somewhat mystical, hard-to-explain process of creation itself. There is much to appreciate in these pieces, not the least of which is the author’s empathy and deep curiosity, along with a willingness to argue anybody down. These aren’t all glowing appreciations—in some cases, they’re the exact opposite—as much as they’re ruminations on why something is relevant, or what makes certain people tick.

In the book’s opener, “Unflowered Aloes,” Bissell argues that classic literature, and its survival, is more arbitrary than one may realize. Much of what is celebrated 100 years after it’s published is happenstance, Bissell writes, oftentimes thanks to a single influential critic, interjecting family member or even (in the case of Moby-Dick) an unlikely discovery in a bookstore’s used bin which, through a series of fortunate events, brought the seafaring novel back into the

public bl eye. Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville and Walt Whitman are presented as a trio of writers who history surely would’ve forgotten without outside interference.

So, what about the aspiring Melvilles out there, those who just need a bit of guidance to create their own timeless classic? Be warned, budding writers, that not every how-to manual you pull off the bookshelf is particularly helpful, Bissell reports.

In a piece called “Writing About Writing About Writing,” Bissell cunningly uses clunky passages of writerly advice against their creators, disputing long-held truths line by line. The simple act of throwing a writer’s words back in his or her face is both potent and hilarious. (This contentious method is also at play in an essay about the Underground Literary Alliance, a group centered on protesting the “professionalization” of writing.)

Bissell doesn’t have a lot of patience for perceived phoniness, cutting down Natalie Goldberg, author of the bestselling Writing Down the Bones, whom he calls a “cunning egomaniac.”

Nor does Bissell pull punches when it comes to Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird,

some of which he considers “beneath her readers.” And Bissell even takes Stephen King to task for occasionally pretending to be dumb in his own On Writing. (Bissell doesn’t seem to care too much about burned bridges in the lit community.)

Bissell appears in some of his stories, but generally on the outskirts.

Exceptions include an essay about one of his novelist heroes, Jim Harrison, which feels less like a standard profile and more like two old friends catching up. Bissell writes so convincingly about the Michigan-born writer’s talents that you’ll feel a tug to go Harrisonshopping as soon as you finish the piece.

Here, Bissell is using his roots as a jumping-off point—Harrison is an old friend of his father’s and Bissell grew up in Northern Michigan, the desolate, woodsy setting of many of Harrison’s stories—which branches out into a many-splendored reflection on what it means to be a writer today.

Bissell also discusses creation as it pertains to war, examining some of the documentary films that have come out of Iraq and Afghanistan in the last decade, which serve as one of the few real ways to bring some of the horrors of war back home. When it’s justified, as in the case of political writer Robert D. Kaplan, Bissell has no problem calling him an “incompetent thinker and a miserable writer,” before going on to explain why he’s been routinely taken seriously by the likes of President Clinton, and how Kaplan’s writing directly affected foreign policy.

Within Bissell’s bluntness lives a finely tuned ear for comic timing. This isn’t a fluke—he’s also a humor writer.

Sometimes, as in the piece about an indie movie filming in his tiny hometown of Escanaba, Mich., he is a man revisiting his past. Other times, a lingering interest in a subject will lead to a meditation on writing, creation and life. And whether he’s examining David Foster Wallace, Two and a Half Men or voice-acting in video games, Bissell (only 37 this year) seems to have a lot of this stuff figured out. He’s had his share of magic hours himself.

CTC Summer Rep Runs through July 22; Sunnyvale Theatre; $10–$26 For its annual stage marathon, California Theatre Center offers four full productions, running in repertory. The season began with the perennial comedy hit A Thousand Clowns (pictured) and The Canterville Ghost, a comedy with a supernatural twist by Oscar Wilde. The third show, The Contrast, in which life in America in the late 1700s turns out to be not so different from today, opens June 14. The final piece of the puzzle is the mystery Dial M for Murder, opening June 28.

In the Zone TIME ZONE VINTAGE has always been a store with history, but never like this. “See that room back there?” says co-owner Mike Moya, pointing to a small opening under the staircase with a metal screen in front of it. “That used to be the money room.” It’s currently crowded with stacks of vintage books.

The Clean House Wednesday, 7:30pm, Thursday–Saturday, 8pm, Sunday, 3pm, runs through June 13; Bus Barn Theatre, Los Altos; $24–$30

Time Zone Vintage moved to its new location, at 751 W. San Carlos St. in San Jose, last month but officially celebrated its re-opening on Saturday with a block party. Time Zone’s owners also intended the party to kick off what they hope to be a fixture on the local fashion and art scene. Taking advantage of the large lot in the back of the new property, Time Zone took Saturday to celebrate all things vintage, hosting local rockabilly bands, dance troupes, craft vendors, food trucks and a vintage fashion show curated by owner Joann Perez.

Sarah Ruhl’s rueful comedy The Clean House brings together a Brazilian comedian named Matilde in need of a job and a Connecticut family in need of a maid. The inevitable class tensions are finely calibrated, especially when Matilde’s erstwhile employers start to drift apart. This Bus Barn production is directed by Jeanie K. Smith.

Time Zone Vintage has been in existence for 11 years, starting in Berkeley and relocating to Time Zone Events the South Bay about three years later. “This is a hotspot,” says Moya. “[San Jose] is a whole different Vintage Flea Market, July 14 clientele. Everybody is real serious.” San Jose and Urban Swap Meet, July 28 the South Bay have long been known as a hub for vintage clothing, car and lifestyle enthusiasts. “Even on our best days on Telegraph, we broke our best day down here.” Prior to the new location, Time Zone maintained a store on Park Avenue, until the owner of the current space tipped them off to this location— the famous Black Cat Licorice property off West San Carlos. “This place was notorious as a speakeasy and then a bordello,” says Moya. The building that houses the store still bears prominent marks of its lurid past—small windows in inconveniently high locations and a rambling, Winchester Mystery House kind of layout. The upstairs portion of the store is a gauntlet of small rooms, which now serve as galleries for local vendors like Devil Rose and Out of Print Vintage.

Not only did the building’s history seem to fit perfectly with the tone of the business, its sheer size fed Moya and Perez’s dream of owning more than just a store. With the new, larger space, the two plan to host events that cater to fans of fashion, art and music in the South Bay. “Even in our biggest spaces we’ve never had this kind of venue. ... We already have two events booked for this month.”

Moya plans to turn some of the space into a photo gallery and workshop, and there’s talk of record swaps and more fashion shows in the future.

Even if the arts program doesn’t pan out (though judging by Saturday’s sturdy turnout, that doesn’t seem likely), Time Zone is still a go-to for vintage shoppers and collectors. Perez, who handles the buying, keeps the store stocked with freshly picked pieces. “She interviews and scrutinizes our vendors. She’s known for that,” says Moya. And there are always buyers who appreciate their scrutiny.

“Her concept is just to have really good vintage products. That’s been her concept since day one.”—Jody Amable

Wes Anderson’s Dffei`j\ B`e^[fd exudes nostalgia for an era the director never really knew

By RICHARD VON BUSACK

Her rebellious daughter, Suzy (Kara Hayward), ran away. When Laura discovers the girl, hiding at the secluded cove that gives the movie its name, she picks up Suzy bodily.

This unpremeditated gesture sticks out from an otherwise exquisitely art-directed, scrupulously composed, Kodachromed magic playset of a movie.

Moonrise Kingdom is, in a word, adorable. Watching it is like going into a dismayingly expensive toyshop.

The feeling of ingratitude, however, is worse, since this toyshop is filled with mid-1960s items, so recognizable to a child of those days. Anderson was born on May Day 1969, so Moonrise Kingdom exudes nostalgia for an age he didn’t know.

In September 1965, gifted 12-yearolds Suzy and Sam (Jared Gilman) head off to the wilderness of the fictional New England island of New Penzance. A sad constable (Bruce Willis) and an intrepid “Khaki Scouts” leader (Edward Norton) go looking for them.

Anderson twists the story around a bit. When the two runaways meet in a meadow, we flash back to their first meeting, when the local Protestant church was staging

Benjamin Britten’s Noye’s Fludde. Suzy was prettily befeathered, playing the raven in the old mystery play.

The amour fou began at first glance: “Something happened to us.” It’s fortunate that Sam’s skills as a woodsman can keep the pair safe. What they don’t know is that Hurricane Maybelline is heading for the island.

Moonrise Kingdom resembles something like the Max Fischer Players version of Gun Crazy or Badlands. The fleeing kids chill down their emotions. Gilman, a roundfaced youngster with glasses and a coon-skin cap, acts as smooth as Belmondo.

Hayward’s Suzy is well cast; she has a jaw that matches McDormand’s, and the same clipped uninflection when she talks. Suzy, who wears a serious amount of dark-blue eye shadow, and a Bonnie Parker beret, harbors dreams of the Rive Gauche.

One of the few things she took when she left her home was a Françoise Hardy 45rpm and a portable record player.

Maybe The Fantastic Mr. Fox was Anderson’s best film because he could

pose his puppets by hand. Gilman and Hayward demonstrate flawless precociousness, but the conceit proves uneven. Sometimes, the film plays out like Our Gang, with a camp of kids acting like adults, like Sam’s gang of fellow scouts, and the flashes of slapstick lightning. Sometimes, it’s as ooky as Alan Parker’s Bugsy Malone, when there are supposed to be smokier, heavier feelings.

The adults are all duds compared to the purity of the children, naturally.

The searchers might be better off looking for themselves; they’ve ruined their lives. The proactive characters are military types, called in when the crisis heightens.

Harvey Keitel plays the Scout commander, who has a Nathan Brittles mustache. Jason Schwartzman shows up as the chaplain at the Khaki Scout camp at Ft. Ivanhoe.

He’s a worldly cynic, with mirrored sunglasses like a mid-1960s Italian priest. As Suzy’s father, Bill Murray reprises the checked-out, drinker’s gloom he embodied in Rushmore.

Anderson’s toy showboat is keeled with adult regret. And being Anderson, he has given Moonrise Kingdom a heavyweight soundtrack, with Alexandre Desplat and much tender and obscure Britten, especially “The Cuckoo” from his songs for Friday Afternoons. This choral music fits in strangely well with Hank Williams.

Anderson’s film nods to Poe’s “Annabel Lee” and the young Humbert Humbert’s seaside holiday with “Annabel Leigh” in Lolita. But the coolness and precociousness keep a glass barrier up, as thick as a store window.

Once again, Anderson works in the uneasy space between an expensive children’s book and a fable for adults. Moonrise Kingdom has dollhouse aesthetics and New Yorker cartoon punch lines. It’s a boutique gift that might be given from an uncomfortable parent to an uneasy child.

Moonrise Kingdom PG-13; 94 min.

metroactive FILM BEL AMI (R; 102 min.) Bel Ami is what the French call â&#x20AC;&#x153;une catastrophe.â&#x20AC;? De Maupassantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, far fresher than this overacted and overheated ďŹ lm, describes Duroy, an opportunist played by strangely anemic heartthrob Robert Pattinson, still in emo-vampire mode.

He gets a good turn from a former comrade in arms (Philip Glenister); the man has prospered and is now the political editor of the La Vie Française.

The most useful advice this editor gives Duroy is that Parisian women have more power then men; dutifully, Duroy

sleeps his way to the top, beginning with the sweet but married Clothilde (a decorative Christina Ricci, ďŹ&#x201A;attered by the Belle Ă&#x2030;poque fashions and coiffures), to a well-off and recent widow Madeleine (Uma Thurman); then to the seemingly shrewd wife of his condescending publisher (Colm Meaney). Pattinson and Thurman are only the two most 20th-centurylooking actors in the business, and the two directors act as if they were rendering a dusty tome into a sweaty play, but this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Dangerous Liaisons.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re showing the hard work. So does Pattinson in the sex scenes that are the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only draw. (Opens Fri at Camera 3 in San Jose.) (RvB)

The beastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two lives come together thanks to the return of an evil crime boss (voiced by the Ray Winstone sound-alike JB Blanc). The color is fetching; there are appealing visuals of the cat sauntering among the chimney pots; and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a climax among the rooftop gargoyles of Notre

The Gods Must Be Crazy RIDLEY SCOTTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S curtain raiser to Alien, Prometheus, is an antidote to Avatar. The giants are less blue and more foreboding.

But the contrast is like leaving one dormroom party of the blessed for another one where the pointlessly cynical are airing their own world-view of doom.

In the 2090s, the Chariots of the Godsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style research of Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) win the couple a berth aboard the deep-space explorer Prometheus.

What clinched the ride: the discovery of a Cave of Forgotten Dreamsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;like mural, showing an alien gesturing to an alignment of stars.

Keeping a sleepless vigil over the crew is the android David (the terriďŹ c Michael Fassbender). This nigh-humorless ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best joke: the Weyland Industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo is imprinted in the whorls of Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ngerprint. (Maybe the second best is that the android is a movie fan.)

The Prometheus, full of soon-to-be murdered expendables, lands on a planet of grit and cold, near a mountain-sized hive full of artifacts, 2000-year-old cadavers, and a living slime akin to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Oilâ&#x20AC;? from the X-Files series.

Prometheusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eďŹ&#x20AC;ects are already being

described as immaculate; the 3-D holograms of the vanished humanoid aliens are mysterious cyclones of pixels.

The idea of a mission to ďŹ nd the engineers of the human race is enthralling. But Prometheus unfolds into a dim, visually Gifd\k_\lj monotonous movie of (R; 234 min.) spelunking and marveling 0pens Fri at statues that look like prevalleywide Columbian cabezas.

As the plot progresses, the script makes less sense. The astronauts are grumblers. Why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they more wowed by their journey? The movie gives us an absence of info about Earth in the 2090s, except for a few improved gadgets aboard. Have we been to other planets? Is this just another day for these travelers? Is this all just supposed to mack on the blasĂŠ-ness of 2001? And why , in the future, is the theatrical old-age makeup not improved? (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Guy Pearce, as the evil Weyland, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreadful).

The icy smile on David (as in 2001â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daveâ&#x20AC;?) becomes the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compass. You start to harbor bad robot thoughts that this crew is too stupid to live, from the ice-queen boss (Charlize Thereon) on down to Rapaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annoyingly innocent Dr Shaw, proudly clinging to her faith.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Richard von Busack

On his most recent mixtape Where’s My Money? he raps in different cadences over an array of production both old and new.

His voice, calm and confident, continues to age well. But his music is mainly—and has always been—more about personality than delivery; more vibe than subject matter.

That’s how he has grabbed such a huge following through the years. After all, Nickatina is hardly the first rapper to fixate on his chosen subject matter. Yet he’s popular enough to have toured internationally since his 1993 debut, The New Jim Jones, when he was

still known as Dre Dog (a handle he dropped after his second project).

The subsequent I Hate You With a Passion peaked impressively at No. 3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart with no major promo push or marketing campaign.

He’s also maintained a mysterious aura around his whole hustle, rarely doing interviews and often times eluding journalists and fans. What’s special about his rise is that the Internet wasn’t then what it is now.

And while his career got a shot in the arm certainly as file sharing exploded, he’s essentially thrived on what even the most mainstream of artists sometimes can’t: simple word of mouth. He’s gone from performing at public venues or any college campus that would have him to his current 44-city tour, selling out huge venues.

Even with the success of his solo career, Nickatina is best known by many hip-hop fans for his work

Andre Nickatina Friday; 8pm; $25 Avalon Nightclub, Santa Clara

Hustle and Flow

with Mac Dre, the East Bay rapper who came up at the same time and who was fundamental in developing the “Thizz” movement that blew up in the early 2000s. In November of 2004, Mac Dre was shot to death while on a freeway at a tour stop in Kansas City. His driver, who was also shot at, subsequently survived the shooting and his label, Thizz Entertainment, relocated back to the Bay Area.

Their collaboration from 2004 finally saw the light of day in 2008 with A Tale of Two Andres, which featured the pair’s lost recordings, remixes and outtakes. The album didn’t deviate much from cocaine and Cadillacs, giving loyal fans precisely what they expected. A typical Nickatina line: “The bird gets the worm, but everybody knows the early pimp gets the perm.” Tale of Two Andres was a huge seller and some consider it a West Coast masterwork.

In 2012, the terrain of rap music has broken off into more subgenres than ever, and even some subsubgenres. As rappers age, fans dissipate or become younger and younger, and many try to change their image or their sound. But Nickatina has stuck to his guns with a stubborn lack of pandering.

Whether you like his songs or not, it can’t be said that he chases trends.

Like another Bay Area icon, Too $hort, Nickatina’s voice sounds the same as it did 20 years ago. But his coked-out street narratives now engage fans almost a quarter of his age. In fact, the third release, Raven in My Eyes, which marked his name change is now 12 years old.

Whatever wild, belligerent image he projects, he’s really an impresario who’s been in total control of his career. And judging from his recent work, especially his new single, “Still Gon Ball” featuring Messy Marv & J. Valentine, this rap vet has no plans to act his age.

Julius Papp and DJ Kirk FOR HARDCORE soul music fans, hearing the same old Curtis Mayfield tunes or Al Green songs can get a little tiresome. Nothing against them, James Brown, Marvin Gaye or any of the other well-established geniuses from the soul era, but for a lot of DJs, that’s about the extent of their soul music catalog. Not so for Julius Papp and the Selector DJ Kirk, whose knowledge of soul music is vast.

Papp and Kirk have made Luxury Soul a regular thing Pagoda at Chambers in San Francisco every Thursday night and here in San Jose at the Pagoda every second Friday Fri, Jun 8 night of the month. Their soul catalog extends all the way back to the heyday in the ’70s, up to the hot new neosoul tracks of 2012, and through everything in between.

Friday – 10pm; $5 They’ve got lesser known B-sides and remixes from the legends, lost tracks from underappreciated, forgotten masters. And if you think the ’80s and ’90s were an unfortunate dip in soul music brilliance, Papp and Kirk will prove you wrong. They’ve got lots of crazy, funky jams. We’re talking acid jazz, disco, boogie and every weird subgenre of soul that ever existed.

Julius Papp’s tenure as a DJ started way back in 1987. He always had a particular interest in collecting weird disco and dance records, so you can bet he’s sitting on gems you never knew existed.— Aaron Carnes

Kurt Vile ROCK CRITICS have been obsessed with Kurt Vile’s supposed “trad-rock” sound, constantly comparing him to classic rock icons like Springsteen. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt to be spoken of in the same breath as the Boss, and certainly he’s one of the Philadelphia musician’s many musical heroes. But I think this is a Wed, Jun 6 tragic case of confusing an artist’s influences with his art. Listening to Vile’s latest, Smoke Ring For My Halo, I 8:30pm; $15/$17 hear the lo-fi indie-rock of contemporaries like Yo La Tengo (who, don’t forget, love them some retro rock) and Beck. Vile has a personal, intimate way of delivering a song that is miles from the big, poppy sound of FM radio heroes past, and Springsteen’s worldwide-sized anthems. Yes, Nebraska is the obvious exception, but Vile’s sound doesn’t have that reductive starkness, either. On the contrary, I’d say he’s completely of his time, the epitome of the forward-looking 21st-century singer/songwriter: patching together a unique and remarkable pastiche-rock sound under slightly numbed but still emotional lyrics about the state of his world today. Let’s leave the Springsteen comparisons with Gaslight Anthem, shall we?—Steve Palopoli The Catalyst

“That show was wall-to-wall people. It was loud. And it was exciting,” The co-owner of Absolutely Wonderful Cannabis, Jennings sells cannabis bottles and jars collected from drugstores that administered cannabis in the 1800s. He and his wife Sandra, with whom he co-owns the business, have been to about 25 expos since this first one four years ago. “But I’d rather be at fairs,” he says. “I’m a loyal supporter of the Hempcon people because—number one—they’re still standing. They’re

organized, and they advertise well. It’s a very comfortable place.”

But as both federal and city governments shutter dispensary doors across California, the celebratory vibe has fizzled for some. “A lot of people are confused now,” Jennings says. “They’re disillusioned and they’re scared to death because they had a legal business and invested a lot of money in them.”

Now businesses are being forced back underground, he says.

Amidst the turmoil, Hempcon remains a place where medical marijuana advocates can breathe freely.

The expo, which comes to the San Jose Convention Center June 15–17, has been to San Jose four times since it kicked off in 2010. The medical marijuana trade show features guest speakers, live bands and a Prop. 215 area where qualified patients can browse dispensary offerings and “compassionately medicate.”

But in recent years, some attendees have translated “compassionately medicate” to “smoke fat joints in the parking lot without worrying about the cops.”

The idea of marijuana as an intoxicating substance smoked by slackers and rebels is a dated one, says

Steve DeAngelo, cannabis activitst and director of Harborside Health Center.

He says it’s also an idea that hurts the medical marijuana cause, which is why Harborside chose to withdraw as a Hempcon vendor.

The expo environment, DeAngelo says, “is harmful for the work that we’re trying to do to reduce the stigma surrounding cannabis and to treat it truly as a wellness product.

“Because cannabis has been illegal for so many years and a lot of the culture grew up 30 years ago—with High Times magazine and Cheech and Chong— there’s this sort of cultural association with youth culture, with young people, and a lot of the expos that happen don’t really pull many people over about 20 years old.”

DeAngelo argues that the medical marijuana community is more diverse than the typical expo crowds of young men, who can be found lining up for doctor’s recommendations or receiving samples from models in bikinis. This isn’t about just Hempcon, though.

Harborside has also chosen to withdraw as a sponsor from the International Cannabis & Hemp Expo.

“We market to consumers for the industry,” says Hempcon organizer Tony Zee, acknowledging that his company, Mega Productions, supports the medical marijuana industry not as activists but as a professional marketing company.

“Hempcon is open to the general public,” he adds. “It’s an act of free will. Anyone can come if they want.”
