Evolution Congratulations! Your “No” recommendation on San Jose’s Measure D indicates you have completed your transition (Endorsements, Oct. 10). You have evolved from “alternative weekly” and are now editorially identical with

the “establishment daily.” You and the Mercury News offer interesting economic arguments that in my opinion are well refuted by the students promoting “Yes on D” (the measure to raise San Jose’s minimum wage to $10 an hour). But the real issue is not about economics. It is about character. What kind of a city do we want to become? A “No” on D is a vote for poverty wages—here in the heart of the richest valley in the history of the world. A “Yes” on D is a vote for the young people who are the backbone of this campaign. They represent the energy and vision of a better future for our community. Take a look in the mirror, Metro. Your hip ads and snappy prose can no longer hide the truth of what you have become: just another stodgy

mouthpiece for the Chamber of Commerce. SANDY PERRY s J8E AFJ<

Wage Page Regarding Proposition D to increase the San Jose minimum wage from $8 to $10 per hour: Will someone who is currently earning $8 per hour please advise Metro readers on how to vote on this one? DAVID GROSS s J8E AFJ<

From the Phone Lines I’m disappointed in your cover story (“About Mitt,” Oct. 10). I can’t believe you did this. Mr. Dunn needs to be reprimanded.—Anonymous

You current cover proves that you are obviously on the far left. This is stepping over the line so close to an election.—Anonymous

From Metrofb.com I think this cover totally rocks! Mitt’s a stuck-up elitist & he deserves no less hazing than any other political ﬁgurehead!—Amanda Greiten Who cares? He advised her against getting an abortion—that’s what people do in a free society. And by the way, I’m not voting for him. Kevin Riley O’Keeffe Just ﬁnished the article and stopped reading at a point cuz I was so disgusted. How can another human think like that? LilOne Wells

Quite a few points will converge when the facility opens in 2014,

providing a way for Quakes fans to connect with their roots. For instance, 2014 will mark the 40th anniversary of the ﬁrst incarnation of the Earthquakes, back when Norman Mineta was mayor. Soccer-wise, much has folded and unfolded since then, all of which is equally important, but 1974 will live on. Many clubs throughout the world include the year of their inception on their crests or logos, so on the back of the Quakes’ jerseys, it now says, “Est. 1974.” For little tikes growing up in San Jose during that time, there was rarely anything to do except go to Frontier Village or Eastridge Mall. Except for a minor league baseball team, the town had nothing close to professional sports. When the Quakes started, other teams in the ﬂedgling North American Soccer League (NASL)

were drawing 4,000 or 5,000 folks, tops; then San Jose started drawing upward of 16,000. Spartan Stadium became the most heralded home turf in the league, for several reasons, one of which was Krazy George, a wild man already known for instigating crowds at SJSU football games. For every Quakes game, he would enter the field in a different manner: helicopter, ambulance, police car or camel. During the games, instead of standing on the sidelines and thus separated from the crowd, he tromped up into the stands and interacted with the audience to set off cheers, believing that if the crowd experienced a strange man sweating and screaming and bashing a snare drum right in their faces, they would be more apt to join along. It worked. At the time, San Jose Mercury reporter Fred Guzman wrote a book encapsulating that first season, titled The Great Quake of 1974. On page 21, he describes what it was like having Krazy George on the scene, from the very first home game: “His arrival at the Earthquake opener was to establish a tradition. Just before

kickoff, a garbage truck rolled onto the field and took a slow lap around the befuddled players. Out rolled George, and the crowd went crazy. He made a different arrival to each of the Quakes’ games during the season and his appearance became a bigger part of the pregame festivities than the National Anthem.” If you were a kid during those years, the games were like stadiumrock shows. There was a raucous buzz right before every match. Everyone made sure to be in their seats before kickoff because they wanted to see how Krazy George was going to arrive and what he was didn’t see half the going to do. You did during the first 10 crowd trickling in d game, like now. minutes of the gam George preferred to call himself rather than a an “instigator” rathe was fine, since cheerleader, which w the Quakes also had their own cheerleading squad, the Shakers. In like the vanishing what now seems lik Wild West, back in tthose days, the Shakers would greet the opposing team at the airport with bottles of photo). This was champagne (see pho before the existence of security anyone could just checkpoints, so anyo walk up to the gate area. Along with the players, the Shakers would do promotional appearances all over the city. Debbie Hilpert, seen in the photo at the left, was a Shaker back in the mid-’70s and still lives here. Back in those days, she says, everyone was a member of the same family—the players, the cheerleaders, the fans and the front office staff. “It was all geared to family,” she said. “That’s what was so great about it. The players stopped at any given time to sign autographs, pat a kid on the head, and say, ‘How you doing?’ Even George, he would let kids hit his drum. That’s what it was about. It was always about giving back.” With a new 18,000-seat stadium, complete with historical displays, the family will be that much bigger. I’m getting the shakes already.

JANE’S ADDICTION

Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium Wed – 8pm; $48 It’s hard to keep a good band down. That’s why even after not one but two breakups, and Perry Farrell’s constant distractions with everything from Lollapalooza to Porno for Pyros, Jane’s Addiction lives on. Besides the fact that their songs have become gospel standards for the alt-rock generation, they pioneered the sound that made that generation possible. Their current tour features their ﬂashiest and most

visually stunning stage show yet, piggybacking on themes from last year’s album, The Great Escape Artist. (SP)

LED ZEPPELIN: CELEBRATION DAY Local theaters Wed-Thu – 7:30pm The timing doesn’t matter— every day is Led Zeppelin celebration day at my house. Ofﬁcially, the band is releasing Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day, the ﬁlm of their storied 2007 reunion show in London (with Jason Bonham, son of the late John, on drums). No further reunions seem to be in order, judging

from a testy press conference in New York, so the film—which runs through many Zep classics, from “Whole Lotta Love” to “Kashmir”—must suffice, especially since it offers an upgrade on the sound quality of the scattered YouTube clips of the concert. By way of preparing, set aside 20 minutes or so and listen to the Jimmy Page’s epic vision of “Dazed and Confused” as heard on the BBC sessions album—the ultimate exploration of the sonic possibilities of the electric guitar. Locally, the film shows at the Cupertino 16, Mountain View Cinemas 16 and the Oakridge 20 in San Jose. (MSG)

There is something inherently sad about Snow Patrol, not in that over-the-top, melodramatic, slash-your-wrists kind of way— it’s more of a quiet, contemplative kind of sadness. Originally formed in Scotland in 1994, the band ﬁrst

got noticed in the United States in 2003, when its song “Run” became a modest hit thanks to the somber piano part, along with Gary Lightbody’s breathy vocals. But it wasn’t until 2006, when Snow Patrol released “Chasing Cars,” that this very same formula would result in mainstream notoriety. Even though some of Snow Patrol’s songs have a harder rock edge, the group has always remained a textured amphitheater band and not a ballsy club band. (AC)

Get Away From Me. While it seemed an odd choice at the time, there was a certain logic to the project. Her musical palette, after all, was downright scatterbrained. Get Away From Me has Caribbean music, as well as rap, disco, show tunes, Billie Holiday–style jazz and even big-band numbers. The whole is far stranger than any one isolated part. Her approach is an odd blend of authentic and playful, with lyrics that are thoughtful, clever, funny and all over the place. As she’s matured, she’s tamed some of that chaos, but she’s never lost the manic gooﬁness and dry humor that makes her music so delightful and heartwarming in the ﬁrst place. (AC)

CUPERTINO

Arya 19930 Stevens Creek Blvd., Cupertino; 408.996.9606 The goal at Arya is to introduce Persian food, culture and art to the Silicon Valley—then add an Italian touch to every detail.

Ayra’s Italian side comes from executive chef Mike Hashemi, who has traveled to Italy and brought home his favorites to share with family and friends. Mike has received numerous awards for his Italian menu at Florence Italian Cuisine, his ﬁne-dining restaurant in Orange County. Arya is a result of his love for both cuisines.

What’s more is that he’ll be back with fresh veggies from one of the local markets in the area. Chef Renzo doesn’t mince words when it comes to freshness (although he does mince some of those fresh veggies). If you’re looking for authentic Sicilian flavor, you need a man who can talk shop about how the mineral content in the soil affects the flavor of vegetables and chef Renzo knows a thing or two about that. Experts like chef Renzo make produce sellers sweat. Cool, calm and collected, chef Renzo only finds joy and relaxation while in the kitchen—two ingredients always prominent at Café Renzo.

Café Renzo

CHAD KANESHIRO Inspired by their homeland’s culinary heritage and customer requests, the owners of Oryza—the modern Asian dining destination that opened in January at Westfield’s Valley Fair Shopping Centre in Santa Clara—has brought in executive chef Chad Kaneshiro and expanded its menu to include a new array of signature dishes with a focus on contemporary fusion fare. A fixture on the South Bay culinary scene since 2003 when he started as a sous chef at Straits and Blowfish, Kaneshiro has proven to be a local favorite whether he is creating a James Beard House menu for Sino Restaurant; cooking up delectable dishes at Barracuda and Scratch in Mountain View; or serving as executive chef at Kingfish in San Mateo. “I envision a menu for Oryza that is simultaneously authentic and contemporary,” says Kaneshiro, who was brought on board to modernize the current menu, while insuring a smooth transition that builds on proven Oryza favorites. “Perfect for an intimate date, quick lunch while shopping, an after-work happy-hour get-together or a group celebration, the new dishes I’ll be adding from now through early October will offer artful, yet unfussy presentations that are geared to the casual, but sophisticated tastes of Silicon Valley diners. Oryza is a modern Asian restaurant grounded in classic flavors but integrating ingredients and cooking techniques from around the globe,” Kaneshiro explains.

Gravity Bistro & Wine Bar 544 Emerson St., Palo Alto; 650.327.3161 While some humans may complain about the gravitational force of this planet, and its knack for pulling us down into the sidewalk when we trip and fall, no one can complain about the Palo Alto restaurant that shares its namesake.

As the executive chef of Palacio restaurant in Los Gatos and at the Left Bank Brasserie in Menlo Park, and the “chef de cuisine” for the Reposado in Palo Alto and Brigitte’s French Restaurant in Santa Clara, Martinez learned the delicate art of not only Latin foods but also of French and Mediterranean cuisine. He has used his knowledge to create original dishes focusing on a Latin inﬂuence with a seafood ﬂavor for his restaurant, La Viga. All of his creations showcase fresh, local ingredients skillfully combined to create unique Latin seafood dishes.

TUYEN CHUNG Tuyen Chung came to the United States from Vietnam as a teenager, by way of mainland China and Hong Kong. He started cooking in his mother’s restaurant more than 25 years ago, honing his technique until he was ready to open his own restaurant, Fu Kee, a small self-service Asian Pacific Rim spot, in 1997, soon after getting married. He then opened the first Ginger Cafe in Gilroy in 2004, seeking to push his food and creativity to another level. He followed on the success of the Ginger Cafe, which still thrives today, with a second outpost in Sunnyvale in February of 2007. Chung’s complex style stems from history, where migration brought Chinese food into new places and mingled with local ingredients resulting in new twists on traditional dishes. While Ginger Cafe’s menu is rooted in Chinese cuisine, it is broadened, flavored and inspired by Chung’s travels through Asia. The food at Ginger Cafe is a reflection of Chung’s creativity and attention to local palates.

The Hay Market

ALISA CHOTIBHONGS At Siam Orchid Organic Fine Dining, chef Alisa Chotibhongs prepares traditional Thai meals with a delightfully artistic attention to detail. The restaurant strives to present its customers with dishes worthy of representing Thai culture. Each dish, like the culture itself, is rich in taste, yet delicately presented. Born and raised in Suphan Buri, Thailand, chef Chotibhongs knows what she’s doing when it comes to the preparation of traditional Thai dishes. Cooking rich and classic Thai food has been a tradition in her family for many generations, and she has taken part in that tradition since she was a little girl. “[Cooking] is part of my life and part of our culture,” Chotibhongs says happily. When she and her husband, Tony, moved to California and opened Siam Orchid, chef Chotibhongs found an outlet for her love of both cooking and design. “I want people to try what we actually eat in Thailand,” Chotibhongs says when asked what her motivation for cooking is. Indeed, the dishes at Siam Orchid may at ﬁrst seem a bit foreign to those who have eaten Americanized Thai food all their lives. Chotibhongs notes that her curry is much richer than some of the curries she has tasted in the United States, and that her customers have commented on that fact. She feels that it is very important to stick to the ways that each dish is traditionally prepared in order to give each customer a true Thai experience. Chotibhongs also places a heavy emphasis upon the visual aspect of each meal and has found that making each dish aesthetically appealing is her favorite part of working at Siam Orchid. “I enjoy deciding how my food looks,” chef Chotibhongs says. This fact is evidenced by the creative ways she prepares each dish. For instance, her cashew chicken dish is playfully served in a crispy taro nest, creating an exquisite blend of traditional Thai cooking and artistic presentation.

1185 Lincoln Ave., San Jose; 408.295.4800 The Hay Market is the work of San Jose native Joe Cirone.

Paolo’s Restaurant

SAM CARLINO JR. Sam Carlino Jr. learned at an early age that good quality and hard work were key to success. Sam Jr. was working beside his father in their grocery store at age 8, learning the craft of making their famous Italian sausage. At 15, he began working weekends selling fish at the San Jose Flea Market. Three years later, father and son would team up for their first business venture, a sausage stand at the San Jose Flea Market, specializing in homemade Italian sausage and extra-high-quality Mexican chorizo, among other things. Sam Jr. recalls making 500 pounds of sausage every Friday night for the weekend sales. “My friends in high school would be off to the parties, and I was knee deep in ground pork.” He learned how to bone-out pork shoulders, and properly trim the meat. The hard work paid off and was a great learning experience for the younger Carlino. By 1987, Sam Jr. was employed as a meat cutter for Zanotto’s Market in San Jose. In 1991, Sam Jr. began working on the additional items needed to complete the menu at Sam’s. The baby-back ribs and salsa-marinated chicken were the flagship products. Sam’s Bar B Que is gaining more notice in the Silicon Valley restaurant scene. With humble beginnings and limited formal chef training, Sam Jr. has helped earn Sam’s Bar B Que a place in the top 100 restaurants in Silicon Valley, as well as “Readers’ Choice Best Of” winners in the BBQ category for the past six years in a row.

KATI KYME Conductor

WILLIAM SKEEN Cellist

Carl Philip Emanuel was more famous than his father, Johann Sebastian, and helped usher in the new “classical era” in the early 18th century. CPE was a great inﬂuence on the young Mozart, whose youthful Overture to Thamos kicks oﬀ our 47th season. Featuring the PACO debuts of conductor Kati Kyme and cellist William Skeen, the program will end with Barok's great Divertimento, a neo-classical masterpiece inspired equally by Mozart and the expressive folk music of his native Hungary.

The 25-minutes-or-less Short Film Festival is the latest trend in Northern California, from Healdsburg to Morgan Hill. Local popularity of short ﬁlms

goes back as far as Geoff Alexander’s programs for Cine 16 at which 16mm films, mostly shorts, were shown in various venues in downtown San Jose during the 1990s. The recent Stars in Shorts compilation allowed audiences to see the work of rising talents, baited with the marquee names. One of the more interesting Stars in Shorts offerings, Sexting by Neil Labute, turns up at the Short Film Festival. Bill Hargreaves, co-founder of the festival, is a local entrepreneur. (One of his businesses was Metro’s onetime rival The Wave). Hargreaves is as interested in the arts as he is in business opportunities. He also admits that he was looking for an excuse to make his wife let him watch hundreds of films. “I realize it’s not a novel idea,” Hargreaves says, “and that there are hundreds of film festivals. I wanted to focus on the short-film genre, so I met

with Sinohui Hinojosa at Philz coffee in downtown San Jose.” Hinojosa has run the Santa Clara– based Emerging Artist Productions for some 12 years. EAP is a production house that has catered to various corporate clients, including Yahoo. Meanwhile, Hinojosa had a short film at the L.A. Comedy Short Film Festival. He is also finishing his own Morgan Hill–shot feature film, Dark Harvest (“It’s about things that go bump in the night”), which he plans to market at next year’s Cannes Film Festival. Now four years old, the SJISFF has grown from a two-program, 10-film selection to a series of some 67 films from 25 nations. Hargreaves and Hinojosa check out direct submissions as well as competitors from Sundance, Cannes and the 300-film-strong Palm Springs International SFF. This isn’t common for film festivals at all, but Hargreaves and Hinojosa still personally screen all the hundreds of submissions. Hargreaves tells me, “The highlight for us has been twofold. First, it’s been getting feedback with the filmmakers— and that’s a big highlight over the

course of the four years. The second highlight is the audience’s response.” Hinojosa recalls talking to a set of parents and their daughter. He learned that all three had a different favorite movie at the festival. This fits in with the festival’s plans to address not just one audience but a part of all of them. The two founders agree that one of the best of this year’s festival is Bryan Buckley’s Asad, about a fishing village in Somalia on the brink of joining the pirates. It was shot in South Africa with a cast of real-life Somalia refugees. Craig Rosenthal is a TV commercial maker. His entry, Shanghai Love Market, is unusual; “candy-colored” and “frothy” aren’t the usual adjectives used to describe a film set in China. Shanghai Love Market follows the payback to a pushy mom trying to force her unwed son through an arranged marriage, using the People’s Park open-air matchmaking market in Shanghai. Australia’s Christopher Kezelos’ allegory of creation, The Maker, is strangely moving, and not just because of the music by the classical composer Paul Halley. It’s School-of-JanSvankmajer in which a stop-motionanimated stuffed bunny rabbit, with disturbingly real and crooked human teeth, begins work on a strange new invention. I was not so sold on Alex Merkin’s Heads Up. Like Seven Psychopaths, it’s another set of discourses at gunpoint; the cuter it gets, the less its violence means, and the farther it wanders from real life. Merkin’s no novice; he has worked on TV’s The Girl’s Guide to Depravity and one of Brittany Murphy’s last movies, Across the Hall. Grant Orchard’s A Morning Stroll was a semifinalist for last year’s animated-short Oscar. It’s clearly the one that should have won. Two popular subjects—zombies and urban chickens—meet during the course of 200 strange years. The U.K.’s Pitch Black Heist, by John Mclean, is the festival opener; it stars the fascinating Michael Fassbender and Liam Cunningham of The Game of Thrones. Two inept burglars named Michael and Liam attempt a morning safecracking job in London’s financial district when it’s a Sunday-morning ghost town. Any source of light will set off the alarm. Rather than whiteknuckle Rififi heist, what happens is something more akin to one of Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes

GCL:BP ;8PJ K_\ J_fik =`cd =\jk`mXc n`cc jZi\\e >iXek FiZ_Xi[Êj FjZXi Ó eXc`jk É8 Dfieè^ Jkifcc%Ê shorts—even unto the blackand-white film stock, and the eventual bonding over pints and ciggies. Of the previewed films, I was most bowled over by The Runaway by Barcelona’s Victor Carrey. It’s not just a smallscale reproduction of largemovie ambitions. Instead, Carrey makes particularly apropos use of the short-film format. The prodigiousness of details in the short would be exhausting at 90 minutes. You could say there was something slick in the way Carrey made a 50-euro bill the hero of his story. This is just the old magician’s trick of taking something valuable to draw an audience’s focus: a gold watch or a lady in peril. This strayed piece of valuable paper is the calm at a storm of human energy: of fantasy, combustion and destruction. “It’s so well cut,” Hinojosa agrees. “Look at some of the shots that are only five seconds long. It’s shocking how good the production is on them.” Here is humanity littering, spilling, littering and staining an urban landscape. A couple of the passersby are fanciful children. These kids are surrogates for Carrey’s own daydreams of what lurks just outside our vision, about what might be glimpsed if one took a literal core sample out of a city. There’s even a guest

appearance by Iron Man. Meanwhile, slapstick accidents come together, engineered by a careful and malign fate: a waiter napalmed by hot chocolate, an old-fashioned Mack Sennett tumble over a taut dog leash. The Runaway is sure to amaze those who understand the technique as well as those who just let it ride. If this year’s SJISFF is the kind of hit it has been in the past, the founders hope to spread it to two screens eventually. Hargreaves finishes: “We initially didn’t know if people were going to be there—so we just wanted to make sure we were showing the kind of films that people would like. The reason why people go to the movies is to be entertained. I went to festivals and I’d walk away more confused. Here, we’re trying to show films that amaze and have a lot of heart. I couldn’t be more proud of the fest.” (Full disclosure: Metro is one of the media sponsors of the festival.)

SAN JOSE INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL Oct. 18–21 at CinéArts Santana Row

Local debut of an Israeli comedy/ drama that played the Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival in 2008. Miri (Mili Avital) is a twice-widowed El Al stewardess in Tel Aviv who is saddled with her vanished cleaning woman’s child. The 6-year-old boy is named Lee Yu and nicknamed “Noodle” (BaoQi Chen). Miri and her bitter elder sister Gila (Anat Waxman) decide to scheme up a way to return the boy to his mother in China. Director Ayelet Menahemi takes what could have been a contrived plot and moves away from its soapy, implausible perimeter and the parts of the detective drama that seem easily solved. The way the sisters bond and get on each other’s nerves is consistently interesting. That interest amps up when the possibility of some out-of-bounds romantic rivalry arises between them. It’s a puzzle why Avital, who was in Stargate and Jarmusch’s Dead Man, never became a star; in some lights she looks more like Michelle Pfeiffer than Michelle Pfeiffer looks like Michelle Pfeiffer. (Plays Oct 19-25 in Cupertino at BlueLight Cinemas.) (RvB)

ones: an angelic little girl very ill with strep throat, a young man facing the real possibility of testicular cancer and no place to go, a middle-aged carpetlayer disabled by pain and a habitual toxico (“He presents ‘out of it,’” says a nurse, describing his symptoms). Perhaps the standout: nurse assistant Cynthia Y. Johnson giving a lesson in how to deal with angry strangers in pain. Watching how these physicians and nurses triage and care for these sufferers makes you wonder what miracles they could achieve if there

It’s worth sticking with Vibeke Lokkeberg’s documentary past the first few minutes. You can see how rigged it is—every time a wide-eyed little boy looks up, there’s a cut to a helicopter or a drone. At first, Tears of Gaza is indeed tearful: less contextual and more sentimental than Jezze Neumann’s Children of Gaza. But then when the smuggled-out images of the bombing of this encircled ghetto occur, the film justifies itself as an indictment of Israel’s policies. Here we see the ruling Likud party’s campaign of civilization (i.e., jet fighters and phosphorus bombs) vs. barbarism (i.e., widows and orphans). The film is worth seeing to get a measure of the continuing misery, paid for in U.S. foreign-aid money. If there’s no daylight between Lokkeberg and his full-faced close-ups of weeping children whose families have been destroyed—this documentary shows the severe problem (I’m quoting Paul Ryan’s eloquence of the other night) of “not allowing any daylight between us and Israel.” (Opens Fri at Camera 3 in San Jose.)

Revivals THE BAD SISTER/SEED (Both 1931) Two by the young Bette Davis, so misused by Universal Studios that they had her playing the good sister in the ﬁrst drama and a good daughter in the second one. Sidney Fox plays the title role in the ﬁlm that was Davis’ debut, based on a Booth Tarkington novel. Humphrey Bogart is the scoundrel who runs off with her. In Seed, a writer abandons wife (Lois Wilson) and family. (Plays Oct 17-18 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

THE EVIL DEAD II (1987) Bruce Campbell stars as the luckless imbecile who tangles with the dread Necronomicon, unleashing a riot of puckish yet bloodthirsty demons—perhaps the vengeful ids of the Three Stooges, damned for the sin of wrath. Memorable for the then-most breathtaking use of the “Shakycam”—a camera fastened to a stabilizing board carried by a running cameraman, allowing the viewer to soar through the haunted woods and splat right into the trees. “Who’s laughing now?” Directed by Sam Raimi. (Plays Oct 18 at 9:30pm and Oct 20 at 11:55pm in San Jose at Camera 3.) (RvB)

GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) The quote-along experience. (Plays Oct 19-21 in San Jose at the Retro Dome.) (RvB)

THE INVISIBLE MAN/THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD (Both 1933) Filed under sci-fi instead of horror by some experts, the surprisingly scary and disturbing The Invisible Man introduces a Universal Studios monster of particular danger to the world. Dr. Griffin has larger aims than self-protection, love or a quiet tomb: “We’ll begin a Reign of Terror.” The bandage-wrapped megalomaniac may be invisible, but he’s fully fleshed: anxieties about money drove him to the dark side. A debuting Claude Rains’ full-throated theatrical voicing of that shame balances Griffin’s unholy exuberance under the effect of the mind-melting drug monocaine. Some would say the hero of this film is the celebrated special-effects expert John P. Fulton, making objects dance and turning Rains into a hollow man under

his bandages and welder’s goggles. Director James Whale’s nostalgia for the British pub life is thick and sweet, and that grounds the nightmare story. The pace of the police investigation is as brisk and modern as a gangster ﬁlm. Whale’s sense of humor, hardened in a POW camp, makes Grifﬁn’s assaults cross the border of comedy into fear. It’s as if someone started violently murdering the Keystone Cops. BILLED WITH The Mystery of Edwin Drood, with Rains as a wicked, opium-addicted uncle. (Plays Oct 19-21 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

REVIEW

Reviews FRANKENWEENIE (PG; 87 min.) Tim Burton turns his 1984 short into a feature-length 3-D animated movie. In the bland 1960s small town of New Holland, the precious pup Sparky is hit by a car and killed. Learning of galvanism, Sparky’s master, young Victor Frankenstein (voiced by Charlie Tahan), decides to go through the door that man was not meant to enter. Some passages really ﬂow. Victor, suffering after his dog’s death, endures his day. The revived monster dog is cute, naturally, with a calico patch stitched into his back and a pair of bolts jutting above his collar. When he runs away, Sparky takes refuge in the pet cemetery whence he was disinterred, and turns around three times before settling under his tombstone. All this sounds witty, but Frankenweenie is not an extremely funny movie, and it’s far too rough for young children. The mood is autumnal, looking backward. (RvB)

THE MASTER (R; 137 min.) P.T. Anderson’s bewilderingly exciting film doesn’t offer a specific rebuke to L. Ron Hubbard. The story tells of a partnership between a shell-shocked Navy vet of 1950, Freddie (Joaquin Phoenix) and a dapper, bigger-thanlife fraud, Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Dodd picks up Freddie and conducts quasipsychiatric experiments on him, leading up to a new crusade called “The Cause.” Dodd’s stirring of Freddie’s soft brain heralds bigger things: the rise of the intelligence apparatus, the think-tank, Cointelpro, the lies of World War II furthered by new means. The bigger picture looms like Hoffman’s screenfilling head, demanding obedience in sickeningly insinuating tones. The voice echoes against the background of postwar America, a nation about to get gigantic. (RvB)

THE OTHER DREAM TEAM (NR; 89 min.) A documentary about the 1992 Lithuanian basketballers and their amazing run at the Olympics in Barcelona.

We Cover the Earth DARYL HANNAH’S pale yet leonine force enlivened ’80s film. She’s best known as the killer replicant in Blade Runner, with the airbrushed raccoon mask of eye makeup. A woman warrior among women warriors, Hannah even anticipated the current craze for women with bows and arrows in the John Sayles film Silver City. Hannah executive-produced the Fridaynight headliner at this year’s United Nations Association Film Festival: Craig Rosebraugh’s politely titled Greedy Lying Bastards. The film surveys the oil companies’ mission to stifle ecologists, overrun small nations and game the system. Hannah (recently arrested in Winnsboro, Texas, as a protester against the North America–fouling Keystone Pipeline) will be on the red carpet Friday. There are film fests that promote towns and ethnic groups and the talents of up-and-comers, but the United Nations Association Film Festival has the single greatest range of any film fest in Northern California. Begun by a group supporting the aims of the United Nations, the festival’s mission is to deliver short and feature documentaries about the troubles of the world: reportage of wars, refugees and food shortages. The UNAFF was the festival that broke Gasland to our area, the first documentary about the hellish problems of fracking.

This year’s offerings are just as strong. The Lord Is Not on Trail Here Today is Jay Rosenstein’s history of the 1948 case McCollum v. the Board of Education, which first struck down officially mandated times for prayer in school. Love Free or Die is a profile of the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, Gene Robinson. UNAFF Oct. 18–28 Hazaribagh, Toxic Leather is a raking of Various South Bay venues literal muck: a view of the Bangladeshi tanneries where a frightful eco-catastrophe is underway. California State of Mind: The Legacy of Pat Brown is Sascha Rice’s study of the San Francisco–born governor. Rice returns us to California of the California Über Alles era, with visions of superuniversities, infrastructure, transit grids and social services for all. It’s a different picture than the broke and ungovernable mess we’ve been living with these last decades. And Trisha Ziff ’s The Mexican Suitcase similarly recalls lost history. It records the recovery of a valise full of never-seen photographs of the Spanish Civil War. The festival’s venues include East Palo Alto schools, the Cantor Art Center and the Cardea Center for Women in San Jose; check UNAFF.org for showtimes. Richard von Busack

Neil and Pegi co-founded the Bridge School in 1986 after finding

limited educational options available at the time for their son Ben, who was born with cerebral palsy. The first benefit concert took place that same year, and now every October Young puts together a stellar lineup of different bands and artists, which has included everybody from Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam to Elvis Costello, David Bowie and Sonic Youth. As one of the figureheads for the Bridge School concerts, Young performs every year, generally playing one song to kick off the show before bringing on the other acts and eventually coming out for his headlining slot. The show often ends with a big, all-star jam session with most of the performers from the bill.

This weekend ﬁnds Young slated to play with Crazy Horse, with whom he reunited to record and release Americana, a collection of mostly covers, earlier this year, along with the forthcoming album Psychedelic Pill, which is due out at the end of the month. Based on their epic two-and-a-half-hour gig at Outside Lands in San Francisco this past August, and the fact that the opening track of the new record supposedly clocks in at 27 minutes and 36 seconds, one could surmise that Young and company will be in a jamming mood this weekend. Jack White, who also played at this year’s Outside Lands, comes back to the Bay Area in support of his excellent debut solo album, Blunderbuss, a blues- and countryinfused collection of songs that mark the ﬁrst time he has released material under his own name, and not that of the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, the Dead Weather or any of the numerous collaborations and projects he’s worked on over the years.

White has been touring with two different backing bands this year—one all male, the other all female, with each group performing different songs. It’s unclear if he’ll bring just one band for the two shows, or if the guys will hit the stage on one day and the girls on the other. And will Jack be in a good mood or cranky like he was at a truncated New York concert at the end of September? That’s what makes the Bridge School Benefit Concerts so great, the unpredictable nature of who’s going to sit in with who, what odd cover or rare gem an artist might unearth or, in the case of this year’s lineup, whether the singer in a headline act will show up on time. The inclusion of Guns N’ Roses on the bill likely came as a surprise to many, especially considering the acoustic slant of the shows, but then again, Ministry played back in 1994, and after taking the stage with 19 acoustic instruments and playing a a set s of cover tunes, they turned on the th distortion and ripped through a couple of songs to end their time slot. sl The question on many fans’ minds will probably be, “Which m Axl A Rose is going to show up?” Will it be the one that led GN’R to be one o of the biggest rock bands of the ’80s ’8 and ’90s with his fiery stage presence and searing vocals? Or will p it be the angry, bloated one who comes on two hours late and gets in fights with fans? He might have blown off the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and his former bandmates, but if recent review are accurate, and Rose and his current group can manage to pull out the stops and tear through some epic versions of “November Rain,” “Don’t Cry” or “Sweet Child o’ Mine,” it will be worth it. Also performing at this weekend’s concerts are the Flaming Lips, Sarah McLachlan, Foster the People, Lucinda Williams, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, k.d. lang and Gary Clark, Jr.

Although they are still working out the details of how to do so, Make a Scene is starting with the release of a free compilation of San Jose bands.

NAGLEE PARK’S LAST TWO SHOWS OF 2012 After a summer schedule full of interesting bookings, Naglee Park Garage will host two more concerts before ending its live music season for the year. Doctor Nurse brings atmospheric indie rock on Oct. 17 and the Golden State Ramblers close the season Oct. 24 with folk, Irish and novelty tunes from the 1920s and ’40s.

NXpe\ :fpe\ AS THE FLAMING LIPS approach their 30-year anniversary, it is impossible to guess just what they will do next. In the last year alone, they released Heady Fwends, an album of collaborations with everyone from Nick Cave to Bon Iver and kei$ha. They released a 24-hour song that can be streamed on their website, broke Jay Z’s record for the most shows in 24 hours and continue to tour. As 2013 approaches, they are set to release their 13th studio album. “It is possibly the greatest record we have ever done,” says Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, by phone, as the band Bridge School Benefit prepares to head to Shoreline for the Bridge School Benefit. He describes it as a collection of strange, somber, Oct. 20 & 21 melodic, beautiful music. In the midst of everything else Shoreline this year, Coyne says the band took breaks to just play Ampitheatre music with no thought of what it would be. These “magic moments,” as he calls them, seemed to just pour out from some subconscious place, he says. While the Lips seem to always be touring, Coyne says he prefers to constantly switch things up—recording new material, collaborating with other musicians, filming videos, etc. Last week, they were working on a commercial that will air during the Super Bowl. “I have a studio at my house, so I am able to wake up and do my thing each day,” says Coyne. It truly is a DIY operation—he stays connected to every project. The band’s performance at Shoreline this weekend follows a Big Sur concert in September, where they debuted their new “Emerald City” stage in front of a crowd of about 300 people. Whether it’s a large-scale festival—the band has earned a reputation for mind-blowing live shows with performances at most major festivals—an intimate gig like Big Sur or the one-off show at Bridge School, Coyne says he believes it to be a collective experience between the band and audience. “Our audience encourages us to be ourselves,” he says. Coyne remembers his own formative audience experiences, including seeing the Who in 1977, and wanting to be in a band ever since. More recently, he says, Radiohead blew him away at a show earlier this year. As for the upcoming benefit, Coyne says he’s excited and honored to play at the benefit, which has hosted some of the biggest names in rock history. Special for this show, Reggie Watts will sit in with the Lips to showcase his beatboxing skills, and they hope to do a cover of the Beatles’ “A Day in the Life” with Neil Young.—Sean George

IfZb f] 8cc 8^\j UNDERAGE MUSIC FANS will have another option to see live music starting this weekend with the debut of the Rock Shop’s new all-ages performance space. Part of what makes the opening so exciting is that the people behind it—Dave Nevin and Jimmy Arceneaux (full disclosure: a Metro employee)—are both avid San Jose Rock Shop music lovers with longtime histories in the San Jose scene. Nevin has owned the rehearsal/instrument30 N. Third St., repair center San Jose Rock Shop (at different locations San Jose in the South Bay) since 2008, and Arceneaux booked 408.215.2065 acts at the Edge in Palo Alto for 10 years back in its heyday. They were able to make the San Jose Rock Shop financially feasible (and all-ages) by agreeing to not sell alcohol, which doesn’t bother Nevin and Arceneaux at all. “It’s about people that actually want to show up and enjoy live music,” Nevin says. “It’s not about selling beer. We wanted to do an allages venue, because that’s what the city needs. There is no outlet for this. It’s the community that needs to be fostered.” Arceneaux has a particular passion for all-ages venues. In his career, he has chosen to book exclusively at all-ages venues. Before the Edge he booked at the Omni in Oakland, the Stone in San Francisco and One Step Beyond in Santa Clara. After the Edge, he booked at the Pound in Oakland. “When I was growing up in Texas, I had to sneak into venues to see shows ’cause they were 21 and over. Kids need something to do,” says Arceneaux. “I don’t see why it can’t be successful, because there is no place for kids to go.” Like the Gilman in Berkeley, San Jose Rock Shop will be a private club. All attendees must be members, which equates to a couple bucks a year for membership fees, membership cards and leaving some basic personal information on file with Nevin and Arceneaux. Unlike Gilman, it won’t be a nonprofit venture. But in the case of San Jose Rock Shop, they will depend on the retail portion of the business to make money, not live shows. “We’re putting together shows that we believe in,” Nevin says. “It’s not something we’re worried about making money with. It’s the passion part of the business.” San Jose Rock Shop celebrates the opening of the venue with a three-day grand opening event. On Oct. 19, the venue will host Scarlet Stoic and the Antioxidents. Dark Earth, Molly Murphy, Grimace and the Fakers perform on Oct. 20. Stickup Kid, Leer and the Proxy Stalkers will play on Oct. 21. All the shows start at noon.—Aaron Carnes www.bridgeschool.org

The way things are going, it shouldn’t be long before you come down to the breakfast table and walk in on your husband cutting up egg sandwiches and playfully popping them in Dax’s mouth. In fact, it seems your cabana boy needs a sign-up sheet. When he isn’t busy removing his shirt in your backyard and letting sweat glisten on his taut pecs and drip down to his tight abs, he’s got tease-offs with your husband. Then, it’s off to the mall for a little shoe shopping with your daughter—before sitting down for the family dinner. An aspiring two-timing wife just can’t get a sex rendezvous in edgewise! So, your husband is “ill-tempered” and “domineering”— and apparently has been for 22 years. By all means, do nothing about that. Of course, getting naked in the tool shed with a sexalicious lawn boy is loads more fun than getting emotionally naked with your husband and some disapproving therapist. The thing is, fair

play in a marriage involves sticking to that boring “forsake all others” business until you’ve notified your spouse that you want out of your contract. And no, letting him catch you in bed with your lawn intern doesn’t count as notification. It isn’t too late to take the step you should’ve when you first started feeling miserable in your marriage—do that adult thing and use your words. Tell your husband how unhappy you are— in a way that motivates him to take action and makes him feel that he may lose you if he doesn’t change. Think of this as triggering a positive crisis—positive in that it gives you a shot at turning a despot into a husband and a dictatorship into a partnership. You may ultimately decide to end your marriage, but at least you’ll do it in a way that doesn’t leave your kids with a sordid story of how Mom left Dad for the lawn guy and then the lawn guy left Mom for a hot 22-year-old with crabgrass.

The question isn’t whether opposites attract. The question is, Would they spend the entire evening ﬁghting over whether one’s chicken bone touched the other’s frying pan? The answer to that question hinges on your answer to a few more questions, like, Why are you a vegetarian? Do you hear “medium-rare” and think “morally bankrupt,” or do you just think meat is icky? And let’s say you’re OK with the ethics of meat-eating. When you think of kissing the guy, are you imagining

his lips on yours or around that chopped dead cow? Next, consider that cooking together would probably be more like cooking separately together but with shared meat stench. And ﬁnally, be sure you wouldn’t eventually feel compelled to bully him into becoming a meatless meatball eater, like by starting a cute mealtime ritual of estimating what percentage of the rainforest was destroyed by farting cows to put that steak on his plate. Thanks, hope you enjoy your dinner, too.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): When Spanish

conquistador Francisco Pizarro laid waste to Peru in 1532, his soldiers found green stones on the land. Were they emeralds? A priest who was traveling with them gave them bad advice. He said that the way to determine whether they were merely colored glass or else precious gems was to test their hardness by pounding them with hammers. In this manner, many actual emeralds were shattered into fragments. Learn from this mistake, Aries. Make sure you recognize treasures for what they are. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force them to submit to unwise tests that misconstrue their true nature.

TAURUS (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): Someone at Reddit.com posted a question to the community: Could anyone help him recreate the aroma of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland? He said he loved that smell. It was a blend of damp earth, rotting wood, and gunpowder. It had musty overtones, a hint of chlorine, and a tantalizing freshness. If only he could get that fragrance to permeate his house, he testiďŹ ed, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always be able to work at peak efďŹ ciency. You might want to follow his lead, Taurus. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to identify and gather all the ingredients you would need to make sure your environment inspires you to the max. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you asked me to be

! +)% ! -)&(* #,%%$"-&%"*&+' ! !

your personal advisor, I would prescribe supplements and herbs to build up your immune system. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d insist that you eat nothing but healthy food and get at least eight hours of sleep every night. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest that you meditate daily on images that symbolize your most inspiring desires. For fun, I might even advise you to do a ritual in which you create a big circle around yourself using violet yarn and then do a series of playful acts to pump up your freedom, like dancing as wildly as you know how and chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;love is my creator.â&#x20AC;? Finally, Gemini, if you sought my counsel, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d urge you to use your exuberant imagination in concert with your disciplined intellect as you design a long-term plan to charge up your well-being.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Free Will Astrologer: I found your website by accident today and was drawn in fast and hard. No matter what I did I could not escape and get back to my work. Your messages were too interesting for my own good. You gave me too many answers to questions Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had for too many years. I felt like I was being cured of problems I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know I had. Many hours went by until ďŹ nally I was able to pull myself out of the vortex. How did this happen?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Freaked Out.â&#x20AC;? Dear Freaked: I was born under the sign of Cancer the Crab, and it so happens that the people of my tribe are currently emanating an intriguing and inscrutable aura. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the peak of our ability to attract and seduce. Many of us are using our power benevolently, but our mysterious mojo could still be a bit unsettling. LEO (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): The past is headed your way

bearing gifts, Leo. I recommend that you make yourself available for its blessings, which may be delivered to you in unexpected ways. For example: The spirit of a dead loved one could impart an enigmatic but useful tip in the middle of the night. An abandoned dream you assumed was gone forever might return from limbo to grant you a wish. A favor you did for someone long ago could ďŹ nally be repaid. Are you ready to let history reward you in its own unique style?

VIRGO (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): Just for you, it is Shark

Week. During this dicey holiday, you should be wary of all sharks, especially the kind that look like human beings. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in their way and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t underestimate them. On the other hand, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not opposed to you getting to know some sharks better. They could teach you some valuable lessons on how to get what you want. Not that you would ever be as cold-blooded and predatory as they are, of course. But it might be energizing to your ambitions if you add just a bit of shark-like thinking to your repertoire.

LIBRA (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): Visualize yourself heading

out on a high adventure with interesting peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but all the while being distracted by the memory of a trivial insult you experienced earlier that day. Picture yourself getting intimate with a lover who inspires you to lose your self-consciousnessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;up until the point when you decide to interrupt your fun by answering a phone call

9p ROB BREZSNY n\\b f] FZkfY\i (.

from some random person. Imagine toning yourself down and holding yourself back because of misplaced politeness or unnecessary guilt or delusional fearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling a rushing instinct to surge and soar and overďŹ&#x201A;ow. Finally, Libra, understand that in getting you to envision these parodies of your current inclinations, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping to shock you into making sure that nothing like them happens.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): Sometime soon you

may dream of being naked at a public event like a class at school or a committee meeting. I think this would be an excellent omen, so I hope it comes to pass. It would signify that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to shed the disguises that have been making it problematical for you to reinvent yourself. Who is the New You? Stripping down to the bare essentials in your dreams will help you see raw truths about your waking life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): As you cross the great water in search of the unknown treasure, navigate by the light of the clouds. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your dreamy oracle, Sagittarius. What does it mean? Well, the work you do to ďŹ gure it out is essential to activating its potential, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give away too much. But here are three further hints to inspire you on your quest. 1. Be willing to go a long way to ďŹ nd a secret you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. 2. Consider the possibility of cultivating faith in a goal that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite yet grasp in its entirety. 3. Rely on shadows and reďŹ&#x201A;ections to give you accurate information you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get directly from the thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casting shadows and being reďŹ&#x201A;ected. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): Everyone has some kind of power. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yours? In the coming days, I suspect there will be some crisis and opportunity regarding how you use it. Maybe you will be invited to assume more authority or exercise greater inďŹ&#x201A;uence. Maybe your ability to wield your particular clout will be questioned or doubted, and you will be challenged to either stand up and express it with more integrity and purpose, or else relinquish it. For best results, take a moment right now to visualize the precise power you would love to command. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Rob: I really enjoy reading your horoscopes. You feel like a friend Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never met. When I try to picture what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like, I keep getting a vision of you as being fat, short, and bald with a strawberry blond moustache. Am I right?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Curious Aquarius.â&#x20AC;? Dear Curious: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to do a reality check. This is an excellent time for all you Aquarians to see if what you imagine to be true is a match for the world as it actually is. To answer your question, I am in fact tall and thin, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear a moustache, and have an abundance of long silver hair. PISCES (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got just the right message to set the tone for you in the weeks ahead. It comes from writer H.P. Lovecraft and captures the essence of your astrological omens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pleasure to me is wonder,â&#x20AC;? said Lovecraft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superďŹ cial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate; the eternal in the ephemeral; the past in the present; the inďŹ nite in the ďŹ nite; these are to me the springs of delight and beauty.â&#x20AC;? Now get out there, Pisces, and gather up all the mysterious marvels you have coming to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all the bracing encounters with uncanny grace. Homework: Tell a story about the time Spirit reached down and altered your course in one tricky, manic swoop.
