I took my 12-year old daughter shopping to this place called ——— in Westfield Mall. I was already a little peeved because for the first time, my daughter refused to let me buy her school clothes at Target. I blame those awful materialistic shows on Nickelodeon and Disney with those heavily made-up little girls acting so adult. Anyhow, I saw you poke your head out of the dressing room while still struggling to get on a pair of too-tight leggings. You pointed at a boy barely older than my daughter, your boyfriend one assumes, but who knows? I thought you were going ask his opinion about your outfit but you pulled in him into the dressing room with you! In front of me and my daughter!

What you did in there for 11 minutes (yeah, I kept track) is between you and God. You kept looking back at me and laughing in the checkout line like it was the cutest thing in the world. What you don’t know is I made sure to tell the store manager and he assured me that he will personally be checking the dressing rooms for such behavior in the future.

WHAT’S W H AT ’S T THE HE D DEAL? E A L? Aziz Ansari tackles feminist f topics like the absurd d gender pay gap gap..

But ther theree is mor moree to it than tha that. at.

A Ansari is older and wiser wiser.. So Soon on to o bee 32, Ansari has mo b moved ved on fr from om telling te elling jok jokes es ab about out how lame it iss that th hat the girl he ask asked ed out via te text xt never ne ever rresponded. esponded.

NATURAL PAIR Lure + Till’s baby beet salad has taste and colors that pop off the plate.

URE + TILL has the swankiness and cool one would expect in a neighborhood where bumper-to-bumper Teslas park and venture capitalists power lunch. An industrial chic dining atmosphere in step with its home at the luxuriously modern Hotel Epiphany, Lure + Till makes presentation a focus.

3+2 &21* /<

The restaurant serves artfully plated dishes made from locally sourced ingredients for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a weekend brunch. An attractive collection of spirits and a menu of modern cocktails also make the bar more than a little popular.

Soft earth tones, with dark wood and white ceramic tiles, decorate the interior of the restaurant and accompanying hotel, while an outdoor patio that stretches the length of the hotel’s Hamilton Avenue facade features a mix of high tables and cozy two-seat teak tables.

A recent visit for brunch offered an enjoyable tease of the flavors offered by Lure + Till. I could already guess the flavor of my companion’s Bloody Mary ($11) when it arrived on the table. The cardinal-colored mixture was speckled with pepper and chili flakes and indeed had a delicious smoky and fiery flavor. I enjoyed the El Camino ($12), which was a tart and smoky blend of mezcal, apple shrub and lemon juice, although it may have benefited from some agave nectar to sweeten the tartness of both lemon juice and shrub.

As an appetizer, the fried flatbread with a trio of pureed eggplant caponata, romesco and tapenade ($12) was perfect for sharing and comparing flavors of the different spreads. Deviled eggs complemented by a tang of whole grain mustard ($5 for three halves) were also an enjoyable starting option. Delicious as it was beautiful, a baby beet salad ($14) arrived on a black slate dish, which made the rainbow colors of the dish really pop. Sweet, colorful segments of roasted baby beets, creamy dollops of yogurt and zesty arugula topped three little mounds of quinoa and wheat berries.

I was torn between Lure + Till’s take on the classic French Niçoise salad with seared albacore tuna, baby gem lettuces, quail egg and haricot vert ($20) and the house burger ($12). After much debate I think I made the winning choice by going with the latter. Topped with white cheddar and crispy strips of bacon (each $2 extra) the thick and juicy burger, complete with a flavor-packed crust, was incredibly delicious without the addition of unnecessary condiments.

Complementing the mighty burger were the crispiest fries I’ve enjoyed in a long while. —Jeff Cianci

THE SPACE-TRIX After discovering her destiny as space-princess, Mila Kunis must fight for the fate of Earth in the wholly unoriginal ‘Jupiter Ascending.’ Sound familiar?

Space Tater 3000 THEY SAY WE are all born with a limited number of thoughts, and the career of the Wachowski siblings is proof. Considered deep thinkers over the way philosophy met bullet-time photography in the Matrix series, they’ve done without thought whatsoever in Jupiter Ascending. There isn’t a single fresh idea in the movie.

Crammed with all the wow-ride sequences you’ve seen before—the climactic battle on the flaming exploding gantry, for instance— the movie rest mostly on the heavy eyelids of Mila Kunis. While my interest was piqued by the interstellar dogfights and cosmic palaces, which were furnished with some of the most deliberately hysterical decor this side of the disco-era Flash Gordon, I found more stimulation in Kunis’ reaction to her sudden elevation to space-princess.

Her magic eyelids are powdered with cranberry-colored eyeshadow in one scene where she’s about to marry the evil space prince Titus (played the way-too-pretty Douglas Booth). Is the left lid fetchingly lazy by a millimeter or two?

The film’s real love interest is not this fey prince, however, but rather the Charming Tater, a former space legionary called “Caine”—on account of him wandering about the stars like the guy from Kung Fu. In a swipe from Cordwainer Smith, Caine turns out to have some wolf genes in him.

Whatever spirit animal dwells in Channing Tatum, wolf isn’t it—neighing might be

more on the money, if indeed the DNA wasn’t taken from an Idaho russet.

Tatum can’t seem to generate much warmth for Kunis, who is called “Jupiter Jones.” He’s supposed to be internally wishing hard that cross-species romance wasn’t against his prime directive. Why he worries, it’s hard to guess; nature’s law has been fractured all over this galaxy.

There are spliced critters and androids Jupiter Ascending galore—talking dragon-men, ratfaced PG-13; 127 min. bounty hunters, and Plays Valleywide Samuel Barnett’s robot lawyer, who survives the deliberately sub-bad, Star Trek-esque moments of comic relief.

The sky-skating scenes, which take place in the air above Chicago during a major bombardment from the air—that’s Flash Gordonish fun. The rest of the film is embalmed in one space bunker after another as Eddie Redmayne—as the ultimate space evil, Balem—does the Richard Harris-style whisper-to-a-scream.

Jupiter Rising isn’t a bore, but it is a heavy sedative, cudgeling your brains with the awe-hammer. When did “visionary” become a synonym for “dumb”?
