TYLERGLASS TYRA DURGAN
In the 36 hours since I handed in my last paper of the semester, I have listened to the entire twelve-episode first season of Serial. If you are one of the presumably few people who have not yet heard about this podcast, it's essentially an update on two old forms: the weekly radio crime show and the confessional true-crime narrative. It is hosted by This American Life's Sarah Koenig and details the conviction of 17-year-old Adnan Syed for the 1999 murder of his former girlfriend, Hae Min Lee. The show is less about the murder, though, than it is about Koenig's reaction to it – and this is the point which has drawn the most criticism. Especially frustrating is the relationship of Serial to the race of its characters. As a heterosexual, middle class, white man I lack the authority to speak on many of the issues touched on by the aforementioned critics, so I'm going to cite one of them here, Jay Caspian Kang of The Awl. In his piece, Kang explains that "Koenig has left out an essential part of Syed’s story—that his arrest, his indictment and his conviction were all influenced by his faith and the color of his skin." In the wake of cases like those of Michael Brown and Eric Garner and in the midst of one of the largest, most honest public discussions on race this country has seen in decades, this aspect of Serial comes off as out-of-touch, as if the broadcast and events of the podcast exist in a vaccuum. But Serial doesn't exist in a vaccuum, even if the podcast medium is still small; pointing out how assumptions about Lee's parents (who are never interviewed), Lee's "such a teenage girl's" diary, the anti-Muslim sentiment fueling Syed's convcition, the sidekicking of Koenig's Latina cohost Dana, and other errors, Kang writes, "if Serial is not so much a story of a murder, but rather, the story of how a journalist goes about reporting a story that has grabbed her; and if Koenig is a flawed, unreliable narrator, we should add “cultural tourist� to the list of flaws." Serial may revolutionize the role of podcasts in mainstream pop culture, but it unfortunately will not do the same for mainstream attitudes on race.

HELPFUL HOLIDAY TIPS BY LEAH PAREKH For those who don’t celebrate Christmas: Take HEALINE GOES HERE delight in the holiday season anyway! While you may not put up a Christmas tree or exchange presents, it’s still fun to celebrate the holidays in nonBYLINE traditional ways. Since many places will be closed, grab your fellow non-Christmas celebrating friends and have a lock-in at someone’s house. Cooking a fancy meal together, having a game night or watching movies all night are great ways to still feel the love of the season. For those who still haven’t done their Christmas shopping: Put together something semi-home made! Get a large basket, line it with tissue paper and fill it with things like the person’s favorite cookies, candies, chocolate boxes, drinks, etc. This is foolproof because these items don’t go out of stock and will totally hide the fact that it was last minute! To top off all of your gifts, include a thoughtful handwritten card. For those who are stuck at work on Christmas: Bond with your just-as-miserable-as-you-are coworkers! Most stores that will be open will not have much customer traffic, so you can create as festive of an environment as possible. Bring in treats for everyone, make some hot chocolate, crank up the holiday music and have some good conversation! You and your co-workers will have a much better time making the best of the situation.

»Friends in a committed relationship (Disclaimer: this "Like" is almost unbearably cheesy but it is also very genuine and hopefully that helps to balance it out). Within the past year, a few of my longtime best friends who have previously identified with the labels of "forever single" and "commitment phobe" have met, started dating, and continued dating people who make them really, really happy. And that makes me happier than I ever thought it would. It's incredible to see the people who I love light up and babble uncontrollably about someone who complements them so exactly and appreciates them for who they are. These developments have weirdly been some of the most rewarding aspects of the transition to adulthood that I have been (unwillingly) thrust into. It's one of those little reminders that sometimes growing up isn't that bad.

CHRISTOPHER
Nolan’s new sci-fi epic Interstellar has been playing in theaters for a few weeks now and, if you haven’t already seen it, you’ve probably at least thought about making the trip to see what all the fuss is about. Guess what, though—it’s cold outside, and you have to go outside to get to the movie theater. And who needs that in their lives? So, here are three awesome sci-fi films that you can watch instead of Interstellar, from the warm comfort of your own couch. The Signal (2014) Opening with a sequence of three undergrads from MIT setting out on a road trip, complete with fun, artsy montages of the friends stopping at gas stations and laughing at restaurants, the first moments of The Signal might cause you to pause the film and double check its title. “Really? I thought this was a sci-fi thriller that had creepy guys in hazmat suits on the poster” you might say to yourself. Rest assured, if you were to fast forward 20 minutes you would be treated to a shot of one of those undergrads, clothed in only a hospital gown seated across from Laurence Fishburne, questioning him from behind the mask of his hazmat suit about the mysterious “signal” that the undergrads came across in Nevada. Walking the lines between genres is something that quite a few films do, but rarely will you see a movie take the tonal 180 that William Eubank’s The Signal does, let alone do it well. This movie will scare you but at the same time leave you with a sense of a loss of adolescence that is accomplished through the juxtaposition of the trio’s lifves before and after they find the signal, an ambitious undertaking that makes this film a standout among the recent crop of low-budget sci-fi.
Mr. Nobody (2009) If star power is what you’re looking for, the other half of Dallas Buyers Club stars in this mind-bending film from 2008. Jared Leto plays Nemo Nobody, the last mortal on earth, who will soon be the last person to ever die from old age. As he begins to recount his life however, his stories fragment into different realities: He has different occupations and different wives in each of them and yet speaks of them as if they have all actually occurred. This makes for a surreal and compelling story as director Jaco Van Dormael takes us through all of the past lives of Mr. Nobody. What is striking about the film though is its visual experience. Van Dormael was born and raised in Belgium, and his film reflects the conflicting cultures within his home country. There is a direct French Impressionist influence throughout the film, seen within the repeated use of montages that reflect Nemo’s fractured lives. However, the darker portions of Nemo’s lives feel as though they have hints of a German Expressionist influence hidden within the shadows of the scenes. These stylistic differences make Mr. Nobody a truly artistic look into the small and big choices in life, and the way these choices can have impacts that we could never hope to anticipate.

Coherence (2013) Sometimes the story of how a film came to be is just as important as the story within the film itself. James Ward Byrkit had made a career in film working on big-budget projects like Pirates of the Caribbean and Rango but now was craving the experience of making a film stripped down to its bare essentials. Coherence, his first theatrical feature film, had no crew and no script. The entire thing is filmed in Byrkit’s own home and was done over the course of five nights with eight improvisational actors who didn’t know each other before Byrkit asked them to be a part of the film. They were given note cards every day with plot points and character motivations, but had no idea of the movie’s overarching plot other than that they were eight old friends who were having a dinner party on a night where a comet is passing close to the Earth’s surface. It’s important, as a viewer, that you know nothing else about this remarkable sci-fi film before seeing it, and go through the same realizations and thought process that the characters do as the night progresses. The naturalistic feel of the entire film brings the suspense and fear of the audience to heights that could not be otherwise reached and create an overall experience that leaves you feeling wonderfully disjointed and, ultimately, intrigued.

his face and looking up toward the coffee shop ceiling, Tyler Headrick attempts to pinpoint the exact age when he started performing music. “I didn’t start playing shows until maybe… I want to say thirteen,” the lead vocalist of local band Krelboyne said. “But I feel like I can’t count that because they were horrible shows in my friend’s garage or at a church.” Sitting opposite of him, bassist Tyler Day also contemplates his musical beginnings. He replicates Headrick’s mannerisms but with added emphasis provided by his hands. “I started going (to shows) probably when I was 14 or fifteen,” Day said. “I played a show around then, but it was bad—I was in a bad band for a long time.” Now older, Headrick (23) and Day (20) create music they can be proud of in the relatively fresh Krelboyne, with guitarist Jake Lagrou and drummer Daniel Ledbetter rounding out the lineup. The band recently released its debut full-length,
Linger || The Light Fades, to positive reviews from buzz as well as others. With momentum behind them, Krelboyne is looking to make their mark as one of CU’s newest pop-punk bands—something that’s been a long time coming for its members. Originally from three separate small towns in Central Illinois, the band members slowly came together through local music. With few opportunities to see shows in the area, each member would congregate to wherever there was one nearby. Sometimes, these shows would feature Headrick’s earlier acts. “He was in this band called ‘The Soviet’ that Daniel and Jake really liked; I liked his next band more,” Day said. “But he was in three or four bands before I ever started seriously playing music, and I liked all of them.” Through mutual friends, Day would eventually sit in on a rehearsal for another band of Headrick’s, The Wisdom We Gain, allowing the two to officially meet one another. Sometime after, an opportunity for Day to play with Headrick would
present itself in the form of Headrick’s new act: Hometown Heavyweights. Day said Hometown Heavyweights’ former bassist was absent from shows much of the time, forcing the band’s other members to perform acoustically. “I was like, ‘Well, I’ll just figure out how to play bass and fill in for these shows,’” Day said. “And then he quit, and I was like, ‘Well, I guess I’m in this band now.’” Once all the pieces were in place, the band began writing music and ended up with an entire album under the moniker. However, instead of immediately releasing it, they opted to take their time in creating something better. “We didn’t think it was good enough, and we didn’t get it finished before we decided it wasn’t good enough,” Headrick said. “We scrapped all but four songs.” Day elaborated that Hometown Heavyweights would continue rewriting until reaching what they felt was the final product. They also decided to
change their name, having always intended to do so, and because they knew they be would stuck with it for good when the full-length came out. Quickly, the frontrunner became Krelboyne (a reference to Malcom in the Middle’s reference to Little Shop of Horrors)—initially to the disdain of Day. “I think everybody but me was down with it at first,” Day said. “And I was like, ‘We should think about this. Are we sure?’” After the name had grown on him, Hometown Heavyweights became Krelboyne and released Linger || The Light Fades in late October. Headrick said that moving forward, Krelboyne is expanding their sound and making more music with the intent of releasing it via split EPs, including one with Indiana-based band We Love You. Recalling his determination with the band from the start, Headrick remembered a moment of clarity during the band’s inception. “This was what I’m doing with the rest of my life,” he said. “Music, and that’s it.”

eat because we’re bored, we eat because we’re emotional, we eat to be social, etc., etc. As James Beard once said, “Food is our common ground, a universal experience.” Along with a stupendous last name, he has a point. None can deny that food has held a colossal amount of importance since the beginning of time. It gives us energy and keeps us alive. It brings people together in every season and in all types of weather. It’s an essential element in many celebrations, and it’s given for grief and consolation. It’s a political issue for the millions in famine and contains a spiritual reference often seen in doctrines. To acknowledge the influences of food in various societies and to showcase the marvelous talent of Urbana-Champaign’s local artists, Figure One, the exhibition space of the University of Illinois’ School of Art + Design, presents Fill Your Plate! Senior Tori Baier, a Photography major on the Marketing and Promotions Team said, “Fill Your Plate is an exhibition executed by the students of ARTE 475 (Art Exhibition Practice). From formulating the concept, to collecting the works, to installing the show... our class was involved in the exhibition process from start to finish.” Fill Your Plate is composed of artwork from a variety of community members. In addition to the contributions from art students at the University, local physician and art collector Dr. Ian Wang also “generously donated multiple food-related works
from his personal collection,” said Amanda Adreani, Curatorial Team member and senior in Art History and Psychology. Centennial High School and Rantoul Township High School art teachers were able to “incorporate (the theme) into their curriculum,” and, as a result, students from the two high schools have also provided many artworks. So where exactly do craft and cuisine collide in Fill Your Plate? “All the works answer a prompt,” Baier said. “‘What does food mean to you?’ ’What is a meal that you remember?’ and ‘Where does your food come from?’” Senior Jennifer Baielat, a Sculpture and Photography major on the Curatorial Team and Programming Team said that this exposition includes local artists’ responses to “current issues surrounding food as well as the visually appealing aspects of food and local food culture.” “A lot of important concepts about consumption and food within our society are reflected in the artworks,” Adreani said. “I love the themes that have emerged based on the works that were contributed to the show.” While Fill Your Plate brings to attention matters of starvation, a fascinating aspect of the exposition is that it allows the viewers to not only consider the hardships of those without food but also to engage in efforts to fight world hunger. A food
drive turned installation in the show called “Living Pantry” allows visitors contribute to the exhibition by donating nonperishable canned and dry goods that will be given to Eastern Illinois Food Bank at the end of the show. “I think this allows the impact of the exhibition to go beyond the space of Figure One,” Adreani said. She been working with Figure One for about a year. The opening reception for Fill Your Plate was held on Dec. 12, and the exhibition continues through Jan. 17. So come on out and see the wonderful collection of compositions accenting diverse cultures around the globe at Figure One, and bring a can of vegetables while you’re at it!
When you’re done checking out Fill Your Plate in the main gallery, meander on over to the project space to see Naïve Objects, New Work displaying artworks by UIUC MFA Photography candidate Eli Craven, who will also be holding an artist talk on Friday, Jan. 16 from 6 to 8 pm. Other upcoming events include Cafeteria Man on Tuesday, Dec. 16, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and Dish It Out: Artist Talk and Family Day on Saturday, January 17, from 2 to 4 p.m. “Fill Your Plate” will be on display at Figure One, located at 116 N. Walnut in Champaign through Jan. 16. More information can be found on Figure One’s Facebook page, https://facebook.com/seefigureone.

no Polar Express. There will be no elves or Santa waiting to give you that magical bell. Even though Champaign’s Center City Trolley will not take you to the North Pole, it will take you past many of the “hidden gems” the Champaign community has to offer. On Saturday, Dec. 6, and Saturday, Dec. 13, the Champaign Center Partnership and the Champaign Park District began their holiday Center City Trolley Rides to Champaign. The last trolley rides are available this Saturday, Dec. 20, from 3 to 5 p.m. The trolley will pick up passengers at the parking lot in front of the Orpheum Children’s Museum, located at 346 N. Neil St. in downtown Champaign. The trolley goes south on First Street, taking trolley riders past the new Hyatt Place, the first hotel in downtown Champaign. Boutiques, cafes, and other stores will also be included as a part of the “tour.” The trolley will then go down University Avenue, showcasing shops like the Furniture Lounge. “A lot people, especially with families, don’t really come downtown all that much because they view it as a nightlife place, not so much for kids,” executive director of Champaign Center Partnership Erin Lippitz said.
Heading into the what Lippitz referred to has the “hidden gem” of Midtown, the trolley then passes Manzella’s, Cracked Glass Art Gallery, Habitat for Humanity Restore, The I.D.E.A. Store and just “funky, little, unique businesses that are here that, unless you’re driving down First Street, you’re probably not going to even realize they’re there,” Lippitz said. “We view First Street as a corridor between Campustown and downtown.” From there, the trolley takes Green Street into Campustown to show that non-students can also enjoy that area. With all the construction and new restaurants and stores that have popped up within the last five years, “there’s so much to do on campus and so much progress happening right now,” Lippitz said. The trolley will also take passengers around the Engineering Quad to see the more academic side of Campustown. “This is a good way to see campus without having to find parking and walk around in the cold,” she said. Those who plan on attending Saturday’s final Center City Trolley Ride should dress accordingly. The winter season is well upon us, and it will be cold on the open trolley. Passengers can bring blankets to bundle up in. The hot chocolate that Partnership will supply can also be brought along for the ride.
Affer riding around Campus town, the trolley will head toward Walnut Street, passing Champaign Surplus, Café Kopi and Jos. Kuhn & Co., one of the oldest men’s clothing stores in the country that will be turning 150 years old this year. The hope that Lippitz and the rest of the Partnership has for this festive venture is that people will see, want to go back to and patronize the unique and historical local businesses. ”They might be places that they’ve never thought to go before or didn’t know that was there, like the Cracked Glass Art Gallery. Lots of people don’t even know that’s there. It’s a tiny little shop on First St. People don’t know we have something like that,” Lippitz said. Champaign Center Partnership is a memberbased nonprofit organization, and this event was created to highlight its members in a fun and cheerful way. The Champaign Park District is the sponsor for this event and provided the Partnership with the trolley. The Champaign Urbana Theatre Company Dickensian Carolers have been providing those on the trolley and those waiting for it with entertainment. Frozen’s Olaf will also be making a special appearance for tomorrow’s last ride. The rides usually last about 20 minutes. Attendees will check in the Partnership at the hot
chocolate station, where they will then receive a number, which will determine the trolley group in which they will be. “We’re encouraging people to go into the Orpheum because they’re having their snow globe event, so go get your number, and then go into the Orpheum for 20 to 25 minutes,” Lippitz said. Tomorrow will also be the Orpheum’s last Snow Globe Saturdays event. The Partnership also suggests staggering visits between 3 and 4:30 p.m. so not everyone shows up at 3 p.m. and some are left waiting an extended period of time. Rides are free of charge. Think of it as a Christmas gift from Champaign Center Partnership and the Champaign Park District to you. Free cookies will also be provided, along with the hot chocolate. Dress warm, grab some treats and kick back and relax as the Center City Trolley Ride whisks you away through the winter wonderland of Champaign.

BURGERS FIND A WAY

PAUL ANGELILLO
Dec. 1, The Empanadas House, located near the corner of Green and Fourth, officially reopened as Jurassic Grill Burgers & Fries. While his stuffed pastries hadn’t been a hit with CU’s student diners, owner Juan Olarte knew he had a prime location to dish out one of America’s favorite combinations: buns, beef and condiments with a side of fries. Jurassic’s double-stacked patties are nothing revolutionary, but Olarte’s burgers distinguish themselves from Murphy’s Pub, Legends and Campustown’s fast-food hamburger offerings. While Jurassic Grill’s sign boasts a roaring Tyrannosaurus rex, the shop’s interior is far from a journey back in time. It’s an unassuming green and woodaccented storefront with a few small high-top tables
and a couple seats at the counter. The design makes no sort of further reference to dinosaurs, which is curious but not a serious black mark on a casual counter service restaurant. What’s not confusing, however, is the hot griddle being manned behind the counter. While the décor might be on the bland side, getting to see and smell the sizzling beef patties and bacon is a real treat. The menu is elegantly simple as far as burger joints go. There are “normal” two-patty burgers with or without bacon or cheese, “little” one patty burgers with or without the same options, and a veggie burger option. Prices range from $3.49 for a little hamburger to $6.49 for a two-patty bacon cheeseburger, only about 50 cents more expensive than

Campustown’s competing pubs. For that extra bit of cash, however, diners get their choice of some 15 different free toppings, everything from barbecue sauce and grilled mushrooms to jalapeños, green peppers and grilled onions. There aren’t any shocking or revelatory accompaniments on offer, but the staples are there and ensure an easily personalized order. There are also regular and Cajun fries on the menu for $1.99 and fountain drinks for $1.69. However, customers can get both in an Evolution Combo Meal for $2.00 with any burger. I visited Jurassic Grill around peak lunchtime on a weekday. Despite a short line at the register, it didn’t take long to place an order. Further, despite one instance where a customer had their bacon forgotten,
burgers were accurately and steadily streaming out of the kitchen. In fact, it only took my guest and me about six minutes to both receive our orders, an impressive time given there were at least four orders ahead of ours. The food itself is just as decidedly unpretentious as the atmosphere: Burgers come wrapped in foil, and fries proudly nestle in the bottom of Styrofoam cups. Unwrapping the foil, I come face-to-face with my bacon cheeseburger. This is not a picture perfect, artisanal burger, but a juicy, unapologetic old-school diner burger. The bun is thin and soft, the patties a glistening stack of tender beef. Continued at readbuzz.com

A strange pop-up book shows up at the house of Amelia (Essie Davis) and her six-year-old son Samuel (Noah Wiseman). At first, it’s nothing but a mildly creepy children’s story about a monster called the Babadook. But after Sam has a series of nightmares and things slowly go awry in their house, Amelia realizes that the Babadook isn’t just in the book. Director Jennifer Kent has created an artfully-crafted, sinister feature as terrifying in what it reveals to the audience as in what it keeps hidden, lurking in the shadows or about to pop out on the next page.
