MUSIC, MARCH 9: “IT DON’T MEAN A THING”

MUST’VE BEEN YOU, ALEX Interesting swing dance experience. It’s such an unusual experience to not have made friends or met girls on your first goround. In the ‘90s and early 2000s, there were a lot of venues, and they were packed with chicks, at least two for every one guy.

I understand your scowl at the neoswing bands, but at the time, they really drove the scene. And although I agree about the name (Cherry Poppin’ Daddies), I still contend without them being played in Gap ads and TV shows, swing would not be where it is today. Interestingly enough, CPD just released a new album.

Way to go, though, giving swing another whirl. I’ve been to a lot of different states and different countries, and everywhere

JUST SAVED $200.00!

She had to put Sargent, her old Golden Retriever, down as he was sick and suffering.

The veterinarian who euthanized Sargent said “We can arrange for Sarge to be cremated in Albuquerque and have his ashes back to you in three or four days.”

Through her tears she asked the Vet what the cremation would cost? He gave her the price of

$300.00!

“On top of the price for the euthanization?” “Yes” he said.

She told him that she would have to think it over.

After her beloved friend was euthanized she went home and called a dear friend and told her what the Vet had said.

Her friend suggested that she should call Loving Care at Braemarr “They’re local, kind and loving and much less expensive. You remember when I used them for Precious last year.

I wouldn’t go anywhere else!”

She did call, and she saved $200!

Rancho de Chimayó on James Beard Shortlist

The prestigious James Beard Foundation awards have been called “the Oscars of food,” and New Mexico’s own Florence Jaramillo, owner of Rancho de Chimayó Restaurante, has been named one of “America’s Classics.”

While the official winner of that category and others will be revealed on May 2, its award goes to an eatery that is “distinguished by timeless appeal … they serve quality food that reflects the character of their communities.”

Rancho de Chimayó certainly fits the bill, being a nigh-cornerstone of the Northern New Mexican town also known for its santuario and upcoming annual Holy Week pilgrimage. Despite a brief closing in 2008 due to a fire, the

BRIEFS

eatery has been in business for almost 51 years.

From the outside looking in, it might seem like a whirlwind, but Jaramillo has known for quite some time. “They called me in the middle of February. I couldn’t say anything to anybody, not my staff, not anybody,” Jaramillo explains to SFR after the news broke Tuesday. “When they first called, I thought somebody was playing a joke on me. I’ve had a lot of locals and old employees from 48 or 50 years ago come in and congratulate me.”

Before she knew it, a writer and a cameraman from the James Beard Foundation were in her restaurant, interviewing patrons and staff.

She says it’s hard to tell that business has picked up with before-Easter traffic. “We get lots of traffic this year any way,” she adds, “with people going back and forth to the church.”

Jaramillo says she hasn’t been sick all winter, but now she’s feeling fantastic. “It’s a really great honor. I’m so happy for my staff and for the restaurant and for all the hard work that we’ve done all over the years. I never expected this.” (Ben Kendall)

City to Resume Easter Egg Hunt The Easter Bunny is on his way back to Santa Fe, on the city’s dime this year.

After a yearslong hiatus, a city-funded Easter egg hunt is set to take place on the day before Easter at the Municipal Recreation Center’s softball fields.

The candy-centric event was cancelled in 2011, when city leaders said they wanted to focus on more healthy options for kids. Peggy Trujillo, who has been the city’s Parks and Recreation marketing and special events administrator for the past seven years, says she’s glad it’s back on.

“This Easter egg hunt was a continuous, annual Easter egg hunt up until about six years ago,” Trujillo explains, “and it was discontinued. So we brought it back to life.”

The event, which generated costs of up to $20,000 in the past, has a smaller budget this year. So far, Trujillo reports she’s spent about $8,000.

Children can expect clowns and

face painters at the event, as well as hunts on separate, age-specific fields with collection bags provided: 5- and 6-year-olds; 7- and 8-year-olds; 9- and 10-year-olds. Those 4 and under will get pre-filled bags, she says, “because they are too small to go out and hunt.”

Children may have more activity options at the event, like potato sack races, if the city gets more volunteers (to volunteer, call Trujilllo at 955-2143).

All the city is asking in return for the Easter extravaganza is that participants bring one canned good to donate to efforts to relieve hunger.

Catch the candy hunt from 11 am to 1 pm Saturday, March 26, at the facility at 205 Caja del Rio Road.

Meow Wolf’s bowling alley redo dazzles with details

e’re coming down to the wire when I finally tour the new Meow Wolf space in the old Silva Lanes bowling alley.

They’re just about three weeks away from their March 18 grand opening, and the narrative-driven immersive arts experience—not entirely unlike the burgeoning first-person exploration genre in video gaming—housed within a Victorian-era house and brimming with tantalizing secrets at every turn looms massively before me. In a way, it’s almost scary. The experience would have us believe that people lived in this house, and the feeling that we’re invading the innermost thoughts of complete strangers feels all at once slightly wrong yet exhilarating.

“You can really get into these people’s lives through journals and home movies and exploring the house,” artist and longtime Meow Wolfer Benji Geary says during the tour. “There’s almost no way for someone to uncover everything in just one visit.”

As various workers, contractors, and artists hustle and bustle to complete painting, mechanical surprises, the installation of flooring and other details in the reimagining of the space, Geary and Vince Kadlubek,

It all sounds great on paper, and obviously The House of Eternal Return will be worth visiting after Meow Wolf opens to the public. At the very least, some of the best and brightest local artists finally have a tangibly important space for showcasing their work and a playground with which to experiment in any way their imagination allows. In a town that has built much of its reputation on the arts but that doesn’t exactly foster help or hope for those who are more experimental, it’s a huge step in a positive direction.

Still, there are surely a lot of people, both from Meow Wolf and otherwise, who are holding their breath and hoping for a success story. This will take time, and Santa Fe will surely show up in droves for the first several months the new space is open (after the opening weekend, the space is open 10 am-8 pm Wednesdays through Sundays, with late-night events on Fridays and Saturdays). Without delving too far into doom and gloom, it’ll certainly be interesting to see what shape they’ll be in a year from now, or two. For the moment, however, the future is definitely looking bright for Meow Wolf, and we encourage you to make it down there as soon as humanly possible. You’re going to have fun.

COURTESY OF MEOW WOLF

When it comes to sustainability, Kadlubek readily admits that the scope of their vision exceeded their initial financial plans and timeline, but he says he believes that Meow Wolf will do just fine if they can attract 5 percent of an estimated 1.5 million visitors to Santa Fe per year, plus a good number of local visitors. At $15 a pop for admission, however, it isn’t exactly cost-effective for average people to visit repeatedly.

Kadlubek says he believes this hurdle can be offset both by special rates for groups and families, concert and/or performance events with a different cover charge and gift shop sales, an especially cool feature that allows for the sale of original art from Meow Wolf regulars and rotating guest artists. As for gentrification, Kadlubek says there is work to be done.

“We’ve had a lot of residents stop by and ask about the sculptures in the parking lot, and the interactions have been good, but it’s still going to be a learning curve for us and for the community, since we get tagged with the ‘art’ identifier, and immediately that makes us gentrifiers,” he says. “It just goes to show how big the gap has existed culturally between art and the rest of the world when it’s a negative connotation like, ‘Oh no, here comes more art into our neighborhood!’ but creativity and art … this is not a white person thing, it’s a human thing, and it’s unfortunate that it has become identified as such an elitist white person thing. … We have a lot of work to do, but we will be able to find a place for anyone who wants to participate, and a lot of that goes back to our early

How the city accidentally eliminated help for some of Santa Fe’s neediest families

BY EL IZABE TH M I LLE R el i zab eth @ s fre p o r te r.co m

A

s Santa Fe’s housing market sets record levels for occupancy and rents run high, its residents often have to spend more on rent than they can really afford, subsisting on a tight budget and, essentially, living one disaster away from homelessness. From August 2014 to December 2015, a city-funded pilot program for emergency rental assistance, administered through The Life Link, stepped in to help those who occasionally get dropped off the bottom rung of the ladder.

During that pilot phase, the program kept 86 people from losing their homes. Emergency cash recipients reported an average annual income of 10.66 percent of the area’s median income of about $50,000. Most of the $206,999 from the city paid for rent, though some clients also received help with security deposits, utilities and fees. On average, these people recieved help for a couple months, and then they exited the system.

“It was truly helping keep people out of homelessness,” says Alexandra Ladd, special projects manager for the Housing and Community Development Department’s Affordable Housing Division.

Ladd says she hoped to dedicate $90,000 to supporting the program through this fiscal year from funds that had been rolled over from previous years.

But city managers are reining in that practice, and the rental assistance program got caught in that effort.

“For the time being, this leaves this particular pilot project in the lurch, but there was no decision specifically made to cut the program,” says Matt Ross, public information officer for the city of Santa Fe. “It’s something that would enjoy support; we just need to identify the funding for it … and I think that’s something that’s being worked on right now.”

A survey of Santa Fe’s apartment market by commercial real estate services firm CBRE found rent increased on average by 6.24 percent from January 2015 to 2016, discounts dropped by half and occupancy levels for both affordable and market-rate rentals continued to set records. A BBC Research and Consulting analysis also found a “rental market mismatch” in both the high and low ends, for people with annual incomes less than $24,999 and more than $75,000.

That shoves renters from both edges into the middle, driving up demand and thus costs.

As the city shifts focus from increasing homeownership to addressing the rental market squeeze, City Council recently loosened the requirements for developers, allowing them to pay a fee in lieu of building 15 percent of their apartments as affordable housing.

That fee could support the rental assistance program, but these projects inch forward, and it’ll be years before those dollars are available to use.

Without affordable rentals, people aren’t saving for down payments to buy a home and build equity, and

The Tipping Point Drivers say state’s embrace of Uber should include lessons in tipping etiquette

N

BY MAR I A EG O LF- RO M E RO

ew Mexico’s state laws allow for the operation of smartphone-based ride-sharing services like Uber thanks to a bill signed this month by Gov. Susana Martinez. But drivers for the company say they don’t feel any different, or any more legal, than they did before.

“We were having no problem,” says Dave, a driver for the company who gave SFR a lift around downtown Santa Fe but preferred not to use his last name for publication.

Despite a flap with the Public Regulation Commission, the ride-sharing service has operated in Santa Fe and around New Mexico for years. In November 2014, Mayor Javier Gonzales became the first person in Santa Fe to use Uber when he took a short ride from City Hall to the Plaza to introduce and publicize its arrival to the city.

The new law, signed on March 9, intends to resolve confusion about these companies and their operating requirements in New Mexico. The governor says she favors the law change because it has the potential to motivate Lyft (one of Uber’s competitors which vacated the state in 2015), and companies like it, to reconsider the state.

The law holds ride-sharing services to their own set of standards, however. It requires drivers to undergo background checks and maintain insurance, and companies must spend $10,000 for a permit. It does not require that Uber drivers be drug-tested, even though their taxi-driving counterparts must undergo those tests.

The discrepancy in drug-testing requirements between the transportation companies is not the only one. “City policy does require each Uber driver to get a business license,” says Matt Ross, city spokesman.

“As far as cab companies are concerned, each cab company just needs a business license, not each cab driver.”

But city officials also say they can’t rapidly query the business license database to determine how many, if any, Uber drivers have taken that step.

ANS ON STEV ENS -BOL LEN

If half of the riders put in a dollar or two, you have all your gas taken care of for a night.

Santa Fe’s sole cab company, Capital City Cab, has been operating taxis regulated by the state Public Regulation Commission for more than 30 years.

Shortly after Uber appeared in the City Different, the company launched its own app that potential passengers can use to hail a cab. Capital City Cab also participates in DWI prevention efforts by offering rides from bars at discounted rates on Friday and Saturday nights. Knowles did not reply to SFR’s request for comment this week.

Heather Vandagriff, a lifelong New Mexican and regular Uber rider, tells SFR she prefers the new option over traditional cabs. “It’s cheaper, it’s easier and it’s faster,” Vandagriff says. “I think it helps cut down on drunk driving, a lot,” she added.

Drivers generally report that working for Uber is flexible and can help fill in the gaps.

“It’s the freedom,” says Joshua Milelkowsky, who started driving for the company in Santa Fe in February. “I go online whenever I want, and work like an hour or two hours and go home. So, it’s the fact that

I can do that, and it’s my call. It’s not a set schedule.”

But one reason people perceive Uber as cheaper is because they’re often leaving out an important part of the cost. Milelkowksy says the profitability of the venture fluctuates. Uber drivers use their personal vehicles and pay for their own gas. The company sets the fare and takes a significant chunk of every transaction, recently upping their percentage from 20 to 25 percent, he says.

Uber drivers don’t get tipped by the automated payment system, and the app does not feature a way to add a tip digitally.

And Uber itself appears to discourage—at least not encourage—the practice.

“You don’t need cash when you ride with Uber,” its website states. “Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file—there’s no need to tip.”

Tipping, Milelkowsky says, is “not required, but it is appreciated.” .

This lack of certainty about tipping etiquette shows in both drivers and riders. Some drivers tell riders they can’t accept a cash tip, while Dave says, “If half of the riders put in a dollar or two, you have all your gas taken care of for a night.”

Vandagriff tells SFR she tips “sometimes, if I have cash on me.”

Ben Grossklaus, who uses Uber frequently in Albuquerque, says, “I think that’s something Uber has tried to work on, and I don’t know, I feel like it’s almost a gray area, but personally, I do not tip.”

Representatives of Uber and Lyft did not respond to SFR’s requests for comment for this story.

ROUND REFLECTION MUTATION Actors are a many-layered and oft-misunderstood bunch. “Even when there’s silence, the subtext is present in their behavior,” says Maureen Joyce McKenna, co-founder of the Adobe Rose Theatre.

Five people in small-town Vermont come together in a community center at an acting class, and hilarity ensues in the Adobe Rose’s new production, Circle Mirror Transformation. “It pulls the veil back on the actor, and what you see is their life experience, their training, and their desire,” explains McKenna, who takes the stage alongside Marika Sayers, a 15-year-old student from the New Mexico School for the Arts.

Song sculpting by Melaena Cadiz of-a-kind.

“I wrote everything as one piece, not that I was thinking of a theme, but I wrote the whole thing in Joshua Tree last year, while my husband and I were on an artist’s retreat,” she says. “A lot of times, you’ll write from a place of longing, and the songs on this record were about this point in our lives where we wanted to make a change but didn’t necessarily know what that looked like.”

They moved to California shortly thereafter. Cadiz says she likes to sculpt her sets so the songs tell a story, which is frankly a lot more interesting than a whole hell of a lot of performers. Thusly, if you value your folk—and we know you do, Santa Fe— you’ll make a point to be there when Cadiz starts singing. There are layers to the beauty of her songs and a moving quality to her voice that cannot be manufactured or underestimated. In a word, her stripped-down efforts are gorgeous.

OK, so here’s the premise: A couple of unlikely drone pilots wind up working together in some trailer in the American Southwest. The guy is a former fighter pilot now afraid to fly, and the gal is just a real whiz at video games but has never been in a plane. Interesting, right?

It totally is! Unmanned, by playwright Robert Myers, follows the troubled Borden as he becomes a sort of mentor to the naïve Asfour and grows disenchanted with the shady world of piloting drones. Probably they rub off on each other? There’s only one way to find out.

ART OPENINGS THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE There are so many reasons to celebrate women, and Edition One Gallery on Canyon Road knows this. It’s pretty much the entire impetus behind their new show, Woman, which runs in conjunction with Women’s History Month and features gorgeous prints of various women in different stages of their lives. “Woman is an important look at the many interpretations and experiences of womanhood in the US and in other cultures from around the world,” Edition One’s Pilar Law tells SFR. “From the sensual to the serious, this is a show that reveals the power and dynamic diversity of woman.”

The term “singer-songwriter” is a tricky one. It seems to kind of serve as a catchall for any solo artist with a guitar but doesn’t really do a whole lot to describe an entire sound. This is especially unfair when it comes to an artist like folk singer-songwriter Melaena Cadiz.

“I like to call it folk music, because it’s a little more specific and gives people something they can relate to,” Cadiz tells us from her home in Los Angeles. She’s hitting the road soon to play at the celebrated music festival South by Southwest, but she’ll come through town for a special one-off show at Shiprock Santa Fe on the Plaza on her way. The tour is also in support of Sunfair, Cadiz’ most recent release out now on Pittsburgh imprint Misra Records. Sunfair’s style is most easily likened to the flawed yet gorgeous vocal work of celebrated folk maven Joanna Newsom, but with an entirely more grounded (read, less precious and/or precocious) feel that somehow lives up to obvious folk heroes like Mitchell or Dylan and operates within well-known genre definitions, but that also comes across as decidedly one-

From dwindling resources and a volatile climate to persistent inequality and societal upheaval, the signs are clear: we need to reinvent growth.

First, the new growth model must generate value for the many, instead of a small elite...Second, we must stop sacrificing the living standards of future generations to preserve today’s wastefulness. And third, we must rebalance the relationship between mankind and nature, so that prosperity need no longer involve laying waste to the environment that ultimately sustains us.

What began as a Syrian youth revolt morphed into a civil war and then into a set of apocalyptic Muslim extremist movements. These developments provoked regional, followed by international, intervention

by NATO, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Iran. Millions of Syrians have fled abroad, creating a European refugee crisis. How to make sense of this most devastating conflict?

Happy Days

BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex

H

ave you guys ever noticed that the days of the week come with a certain feeling?

It’s sometimes hard to put your finger on, but we sat down and thought about it and came up with these themes:

MONDAY’S THEME:

Why Did We Go Out Again?

Barring any of those Monday holidays of which we are all devoutly observant, such as Flag Day, Monday tends to be fairly quiet since everyone is just trying to get through the hangovers. Still, if you’re looking for non-Nazareth hair-of-the-dog solutions, the things to do are either Metal Mondays at The Underground with Pascual Romero (9 pm, $5, 200 W San Francisco St., 819-1597) or Cowgirl Karaoke with Michéle Leidig (9 pm, no cover, 216 Guadalupe St., 982-2565).

Most of the bigger places (which we say like there’s a lot) save up the real good stuff for the weekend, but you’ll be damned if you stay in. What’s the point of living if you’re not in a bar someplace all the time?

TUESDAY’S THEME: Open Relationships

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

As the Canyon Road Blues Jam invites certain musicians (read, people who actually know what they’re doing) on board for the business of 12-bar blues at El Farol (8:30 pm, free, 808 Canyon Rd., 983-9912), musician Paul Wagner hosts an open-mic over at the Palace (9:30 pm, free, 142 W Palace Ave., 428-0690) for you bedroom-ers who totally finally have your version of “Hallelujah” right where you want it. Elsewhere, Ben Wright of Mi and D Numbers helms an open-mic every other Tuesday at Second Street Brewery’s Railyard location (7 pm, free, 1607 Paseo de Peralta, 989-3278) that opens with intimate full sets from local pros before the signer-uppers get up to play

You have no idea how hard it is to find an AC outlet in back alleys like this.

“Wagon Wheel,” and John Rives and Randy Mulkey host their own open thing at Tiny’s (7 pm, free, 1005 S St. Francis Drive, 983-1100), which is a place we love because they do that thing where the tortilla chips are warm. What’s the takeaway? Tuesdays are great for amateur musicians and up-and-comers.

WEDNESDAY’S THEME: Now You’re Cookin’ with Gas

Things start to happen on Wednesday. Maybe it’s because the realities of work are sinking in, or maybe it’s because you look forward to the print edition of SFR so badly each week that waking up in the morning feels like Christmas. Either way, there’s a lot more to do.

Here’s an idea: Grab a copy of the paper or go to sfreporter.com and pick something out for yourself. Word.

THURSDAY’S THEME: Repeat Offenders

A lot of recurring events go down on Thursdays.

Things like Branden James of the TV show America’s Got Talent and his cello/vocals residency at Vanessie—they’ve got all the wine (7 pm, free, 427 Water St., 982-9966)—or traditional Irish music champ Gerry Carthy and his hat at Bar Alto atop the Drury Plaza Hotel (7 pm, free, 828 Paseo de Peralta, 424-2175). In a shocking twist worthy of Hitchcock himself, Skylight hosts not one but two DJs, Rebel Frog and VDJ Dany, in the main room and Skylab, the smaller upstairs club, respectively (10 pm, $7, 139 W San Francisco St., 982-0775). It’ll be bass heavy, and you’ll probably dance.

FRIDAY’S THEME: Party Like It’s 1999

Whereas other towns might boast touring bands or bigger-name acts on a regular basis, we’re content in

Santa Fe to have DJs everywhere. But it’s not about the music, folks, it’s about zoning out to the rhythmically timed “boots and pants and boots and pants and boots and pants” of house or techno. We’ve actually heard it can be spiritual, a sort of hypnotic means of decompression and meditation. All you gotta do is relinquish control. Easy, right?

SATURDAY’S THEME: The World Is Your Oyster

There are usually good daytime things going down, like the year-round Farmers Market (8 am-1 pm, free, 1607 Paseo de Peralta, 983-4098) or a nice tour of the many galleries on Canyon Road, assuming that kind of art is your thing, but let’s get real about how Saturdays were made for partying even harder than Fridays, somehow. Once again, Skylight will be pulling out all the stops and has even hosted some pretty sweet non-DJ events. It’s also a good night for theater events at places like the Santa Fe Playhouse (142 E De Vargas St., 988-4262) or the newly opened Adobe Rose Theatre (1213 Parkway Drive, 629-8688).

SUNDAY’S THEME:

And on the Seventh Day, We Rest Santa Fe gets super sleepy on Sunday, but it’s a great chance to catch a movie at an awesome beer-accessible theater like Violet Crown (1606 Alcaldesa St., 2165678) or, if you’re a local, go to certain museums like the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (108 Cathedral Place, 983-1666) or the New Mexico Museum of Art (107 W Palace Ave., 476-5072) for free. We fully recommend brunching at Tecolote (1616 St. Michael’s Drive, 988-1362) or the French Pastry Shop (100 E San Francisco St., 983-6997). Plus, it’s nice outside now, so you could even do something archaic like sit in the shade of a nice tree and read something. Whatever it is, just take it easy. You went nuts this week.

Ailyn Pérez comes to the Lensic to crush some opera

A

BY JOHN STEGE

chtung, lieder-lovers. Fans of French mélodie, listen up. Aficionados of canciónes Españoles, get ready. Mark your calendars for Santa Fe’s premier vocal recital of the season when soaring lyric soprano, Ailyn Pérez, sings a multilingual concert with pianist Gary Matthewman in a program sponsored by the Santa Fe Desert Chorale. The event takes place Tuesday, March 29, at the Lensic.

She’s a jewel, beguiling and pathetic by turns. Can Pérez float a note? Don’t even ask. Her voice gleams with expression, making coloratura seem effortless.

Above all, there’s personality in her technique. She combines feeling and power with the deft phrasing that characterizes everything she sings.

Wait a minute. Doesn’t that last paragraph sound familiar? Yes! It’s plagiarized! Busted! SFR published those self-same words in a review of Pérez singing Marguerite in the Santa Fe Opera’s 2011 openingnight Faust. The byline?

REBECCA FAY

as you learn to know your voice, use it. Keep using it. And then use it some more.

KEN HOWARD

Ah-pera!

Well, mine. Is self-plagiarism such a horrendous sin? Handel got away with it, plenty of times. Why should the present writer be given an exception? Especially since recent hearings do absolutely nothing to amend his opinion of that glowing soprano voice.

Pérez’ vocal career has been in powerhouse mode since her memorable Marguerite, notably as winner of the ultra-prestigious 2012 Richard Tucker Award for young singers. She’s performed at all the leading opera houses: La Scala, Zürich, Hamburg, Glyndebourne, Barcelona’s Liceu, the Royal Opera House, and stateside at Houston, San Francisco, Dallas and the Met. This summer, Pérez returns to the Santa Fe Opera in another Gounod role, Juliette, in the company’s first-in-sixty-years Roméo et Juliette. Last week, we managed a cheerful phone chat (Pérez’s schedule is crazy) during her ecstatically received Manon at the Dallas Opera.

SFR: What are your thoughts on Santa Fe and our opera company?

Pérez: “I love it here. It’s like family.

So many opera people look forward to a summer off. Not me, not here.

I’m the fairest of them all, I don’t need no damn magic mirror.

We’re all artists together for a matter of several weeks, and we all grow and learn together. I especially like working with Ste- Kanawa reprised her Dame Nellie Melba turn, Pucphen Lawless, who directed that 2011 Faust and now cini’s “O mio babbino caro,” from the series’ fourth the new Roméo. He’s a man I trust, plus he’s full of season. Matthewman was at the piano both times.) great ideas.”

Ms. Pérez, you’re well known for your master Any roles that you want to add to the repertoire? classes and your engagement with young singers. Any advice for them?

“Oh, yes. I’m enjoying Manon so much, I want more Massenet. For starters, put Thaïs on the list. And “Oh, yes. I grew up in Illinois in a nonmusical family. there’s Musetta next month. I’m really into roles for My parents were Mexican immigrants from villages strong, sympathetic women with fully developed near Guadalajara. But they encouraged me. And I had wonderful teachers in high school and, of course, at characters. Violetta set me on my operatic path.”

Indiana University and especially at Philadelphia’s Academy of Vocal Arts. So I’d advise three things: What about your March 29 program?

“Well, we begin with back-to-the-basics: a set of First, know your voice. Really know it as it develops Schubert songs. Then, and I’m really excited about and matures. Second, get all the experience you posthis, Robert Schumann’s great, great cycle, Frauenli- sibly can in hearing, seeing, feeling your and others’ ebe und -leben, the deepest, truest story of woman’s voices. And third, as you learn to know your voice, use life and love in all song literature. It’s a whole world. it. Keep using it. And then use it some more.”

The concert’s sponsor, the Desert Chorale, takes After the interval, we’ll do songs from the French and Pérez’ advice mighty seriously, to the point that Spanish repertoire: Fauré, Hahn, Turina, de Falla— they’re offering 80 free recital tickets to Santa Fe and some of them on my solo album, Poème d’un jour. And Albuquerque high school and college voice students. encores. I love encores.”

A win-win? Just pay attention to Puccini’s lyric, as Dame Kiri sang it: “Si, si, ci voglio andare!” Or, in EngYou call this a debut recital. Why? lish: “You bet I want to go there!”

“Well, this is my first concert with the wonderful young song pianist, Gary Matthewman. We met at AILYN PÉREZ AND GARY Glyndebourne in 2013. I was singing Alice Ford in MATTHEWMAN RECITAL Falstaff; he was working on Ariadne auf Naxos with 6 pm Tuesday, March 29. $35-$150.

THE CALENDAR to get to know the local kinksters than to pitch in and help out. I’ll e-mail you directly about your shiny new membership.

And speaking of safe words…

I’m a 27-year-old, feminist, conventionally attractive, straightish, GGG woman. Over time, my tastes have changed, and now I find myself more of a kinkster. A few years ago, my desire for kinkier sex and my willingness to take a chance came together in a mutually beneficial, exciting D/s relationship. I’ll be honest: I wasn’t as smart as I could have been. I met this guy on Tinder, and after verifying his identity, I told some friends where I’d be and I met up with him. He was great for a while, but a big move took me away from the area and I grew tired of his conventional gender ideals. I assumed I would find another partner in the future as functionally great as him but maybe a better conversationalist.

Fast-forward to today. I’ve dabbled with pain and submission play with a few boyfriends with no great success. (A subsequent partner who didn’t respect my safe word, in fact, assaulted me.) I’m now greatly discouraged in my search. The cycle always goes like this: I get horny and want kink, I go looking for it online, and I am then buried in a landslide of creepiness, typos, and aggression. There are just so many men out there who hate women.

These men are more interested in condescending to me and bossing me around than they are in power exchange. It was recommended to me to join the local center for sex positivity in Seattle, but that costs money. I want to engage in kink to relieve stress, not to cut into my already tight budget. Are my only options perseverance or an extra grand lying around?

-Perseverance Or Withdrawal, Eternal Regrets I definitely think you should keep hacking your way through the creeps, typos, and aggros, POWER, and, more importantly, your pussy thinks so too—excuse me, that’s crude.

Perhaps I should say: Your erotic imagination and your libido think so too. But you may find the search for kinky play partners a little less frustrating if you devote a few hours a week to it—set a regular schedule: two hours a night, twice a week—instead of waiting until horniness and desperation drive you back online. If you search for kinky guys only when you just gotta have it, POWER, your inability to find it immediately is gonna be that much more frustrating.

And you might wanna get out there and find a kinky guy now, POWER, while you still can.

“Uh-oh, kinksters: Sex cops could be coming for you next,” Elizabeth Nolan Brown writes at Reason.com. “According to a new federal court decision, Americans have no constitutional right to engage in consensual BDSM because ‘sexual activity that involves binding and gagging or the use of physical force such as spanking or choking poses certain inherent risks to personal safety.’ Thus officials could constitutionally ban or regulate such activity in the interest of ‘the protection of vulnerable persons,’ the court held.”

In 2003, the US Supreme Court ruled that Americans have a constitutional right to get their asses fucked, and one day soon we could be asking the Supreme Court whether Americans have a constitutional right to get their asses spanked.

Finally, POWER, I’m a huge fan of Seattle’s Center for Sex Positive Culture (thecspc.org).

And I’m an even bigger fan of people getting out there, meeting up IRL, and making face-toface connections with like-minded kinksters.

I’m such a big fan that I’m going to pick up the expense of your first year’s membership at the Center for Sex Positive Culture. While there are additional charges for most events at the center, POWER, there are also tons of volunteer opportunities—and there’s no better way

You messed up in your response to THINK, the man whose wife wanted to engage in consensual role-play rape scenes despite having been sexually assaulted by a previous partner who didn’t stop “when she said ‘no.’”

THINK said he worried “the same thing could happen” to him. Due to some ambiguous wording, you thought he doubted his wife’s account and was worried the “same thing” he was worried about was “being falsely accused of rape.” I think he was actually worried about accidentally making his wife relive that trauma in a non-sexy way. Although it was poorly worded, I don’t think his intentions were motivated by the fear of being falsely accused. His worries were based in the ambiguity of when does consensual rape play cross the line in this very delicate scenario.

The other thing you forgot, the most important thing you forgot, the thing that should never be forgotten when talking about roughsex role-play, consensual rape scenes, power exchange, bondage, or SM: a SAFE WORD! -Simple And Frequently Effective Word Omitted Recently, Dan! THINK’s wife told him she was raped by an ex who refused to stop when she said no, SAFEWORD, and here’s how THINK described his concerns: “I’m over here wondering if her previous trauma was a result of her encouraging forceful sex and regretting it later, and I worry the same thing could happen to me.”

[Emphasis added.] Awkwardly worded, yes, but THINK’s meaning seems clear: He didn’t want to go for it, like that other guy may have, and be accused of raping his wife if she came to regret it later. That doesn’t seem ambiguous to me.

But you’re right to ding me for failing to advise Mr. and Mrs. THINK to agree on a safe word. And I didn’t just leave “get a safe word” out of my response, SAFEWORD. It was worse than that: I deleted “get a safe word” from my response. There were two very similar paragraphs in the original draft of my response to THINK, both on the mechanics of making it happen, and I had to delete one paragraph for space. In an unbelievably stupid move, I deleted the one with “get a safe word” in it. I should’ve caught that, I didn’t, and I’m grateful to SAFEWORD and everyone else who did.

And remember, kids: We have a new universal kink/BDSM/power-exchange safe word: scalia.

I am the only liberal in my family. I love them, but there is no talking to them on the issues.

I have come up with the idea of a Planned Parenthood jar. It is like a swear jar, but I will put money in it when I am too chickenshit or conflict-avoidant to have a hard conversation.

Every time one of my family members puts up a stupid, ill-informed article on Facebook and I don’t say anything, I will put money in the jar. Any time they tell me why Hillary Clinton is the devil, I will put money in the jar. It will assuage my guilt and make those moments easier because I can smugly think: “Keep talking, the only one you are helping is Planned Parenthood.” Is this a cop-out or a narrowly tailored, appropriate penance?

-Fearful And Milquetoast, I’m Leaning Yellow Can’t something be a cop-out and a creative, appropriate penance? But whether it’s one or the other or both, FAMILY, I’m strongly in favor of anything that benefits Planned Parenthood.

For those who don’t want to go through the motions of filling a jar with money before making a donation, just go to plannedparenthood. org and click Donate.

THIS FRIDAY - ONE NIGHT ONLY!

March 18 | 7:30pm

SELFIE

Local artist Stephanie Alia has been more of a visual arts/ photography kind of creator, but as the writer of a new comic book, Alcheringa, she’s breaking free of creative constraints to provide a new take on the age-old story of light vs. dark. Along with a stellar team of local artists and musicians, Alia’s got big plans for the future. For now, with the zero edition (available at Big Adventure Comics and alcheringathecomic.com), they’ve taken their first steps into a potentially enduring story. (ADV) Can you give us a brief idea of the story?

Alcheringa, which is this Australian/Aboriginal term that means “dream time,” is about a troubled young girl who has unusual dreams and later finds out there are these guardians and deities that inhabit people’s dreams.

There’s a battle going on between light and dark, but there’s supposed to be this balance between them, and the dark breaks the deal and starts to attack the dream worlds and other realities.

Sounds like the story itself is dreamlike?

You’re going to wonder if she’s crazy or if it’s really happening. Right now, I haven’t even answered that question myself, and I’m treating it all as if it’s real. I’ve been thinking about this idea for 10 years, and it’s still evolving. And since a lot of it is dreaming, we aren’t really limited in terms of what we can do or draw. It’s pretty wild.

Will you be supporting and adding to the story?

With our team of people, we’ve just been doing our own thing and doing it on our own, and we wanted to do this differently. We have a soundtrack that accompanies the story; we’re hoping to put out an app that will be a part of it and make Alcheringa a little more interactive.

I’d love to just keep making comics; it’s something I always wanted to do, but I was just too shy artistically, and finally I said, “I have tons of ideas, and I daydream all the time!”

Go Bitter and Sweet This St. Patrick’s Day

ROB DeWALT

FOOD

A trio of traditional and easy recipes to ring in the holiday B Y R O B D e WA LT @ Th e Fo r k S a n t a Fe

S

hould you find yourself entertaining a hungry crowd at your home this St. Patrick’s Day (Thursday, March 17), corned beef and cabbage with boiled potatoes certainly comes to mind as a go-to dish. But at our house, a vegetarian also has a say, so corned beef isn’t really an option.

Instead, we prepare baked colcannon (from the Irish cál ceannann, meaning white-headed cabbage), a simple, rustic dish of chunky mashed potatoes, hardy greens and butter. Luckily, the winter garden has been good to us this season, so the following recipe uses baby kale and arugula plucked straight from the ground, plus store-bought green cabbage.

You could substitute more mature kale, as long as it’s de-stemmed, rinsed well and chopped. The Irish oatmeal biscuits are more of a cookie—not too sweet, but the perfect accompaniment for a shot of housemade Irish cream liqueur, a year-round staple in our home refrigerator.

BAKED COLCANNON

(Serves 4-6)

5 large russet potatoes, peeled, rinsed and quartered 2 cups green cabbage, sliced thin 2 cups rinsed and roughly chopped fresh arugula 1 cup rinsed and roughly chopped fresh kale 1 cup low-fat milk

This vegetation is green, so you’ll have to refrain from pinching it.

Place the potatoes in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Salt potatoes liberally once the boil has been achieved. Cook until soft, drain off excess water, and mash in the milk and ½ cup butter over low heat to desired consistency (we like it chunky). Season again with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. In a separate covered pot, steam cabbage, arugula and kale until wilted but not overdone, about five minutes. Remove the greens and cabbage from the pot, cool slightly and squeeze out any extra moisture from them over the sink, using a clean kitchen towel. Fold the cabbage-greens mixture into the mashed potatoes until well incorporated. Mound the entire mixture into a buttered baking dish, brush with beaten egg and bake at 400 degrees until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve hot with Irish soda bread.

SEMISWEET IRISH OATMEAL BISCUITS

(Makes 8-12)

½ cup butter plus 1 tablespoon for greasing pan

1 cup Irish oatmeal (not instant or quickcooking), such as McCann’s brand

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out dough

1 beaten egg, for brushing colcannon before baking

add more milk by the teaspoonful.) Form dough into a flat disc and refrigerate for 45 minutes. Roll out chilled dough on lightly floured surface to ¼-inch thick. Cut out 3-inch-diameter discs and place them on parchment-lined cookie sheets, about 1 inch apart.

Place sheets with dough discs back in the refrigerator for 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cookie sheets in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Transfer cookie sheets to wire racks and cool completely.

HOMEMADE IRISH CREAM LIQUEUR

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 cup half-and-half

½ cup plus 2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small pieces, room temperature

14-ounce can sweetened, condensed milk

3 tablespoons milk, plus a little more, if needed

1½ cups Irish whiskey 1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso powder

In a blender or food processor, grind the oatmeal until it resembles coarse corncorn meal. Add the ground oats and flour to a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, butter and milk and knead mixture with hands until a sticky dough forms. (This may take a while.

Just consider it exercise. If it’s too crumbly,

2 tablespoons flavored chocolate syrup, such as Torani brand, for coffee drinks 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Blend all ingredients on high in a blender for 30 seconds, or until well combined. Pour Irish cream liqueur into sealable jars and refrigerate for up to three weeks.

t. Patrick’s Day is an excuse to let our inner leprechauns out to play by knocking back some Irish whiskey. What makes this particular kind of whiskey special? As the luck of the Irish would have it, I’ve got a quick overview.

Whiskey is made around the world, and each region—America, Canada, Scotland, Japan and Ireland—has its own set of regulations. Irish whiskey is made within its national boundaries, from grain, aged a minimum of three years in barrels, and typically has a light, fruity quality. Poteen is the equivalent of American moonshine, meaning it doesn’t follow official laws of production or aging.

Irish whiskey’s popularity and sales have quadrupled in the United States over the last decade. In fact, it is one of the fastest growing spirits categories, worldwide. In congruence with global trends, new micro distilleries are popping up across the landscape. Meanwhile, most well-known brands have been bought by larger companies, helping them reach enthusiasts around the globe.

Irishman Tim Herlihy is the brand ambassador for Tullamore D.E.W., and he has spent the last month traveling throughout the United States, seeking the most interesting St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and recording his findings. Along the way, he visited San Francisco’s Buena Vista, known as the birthplace of the Irish coffee, and saw the world’s largest shamrock in Georgia. Herlihy also attended the world’s shortest one-man St. Patrick’s Day parade, in Arkansas. He even stopped in Albuquerque. His trip ends at the famed Dead Rabbit, an Irish pub in New York City. Tullamore D.E.W. was the first to boast a triple blend of grain, malt and pot-still whiskies, which impart sweetness, citrus and spicy notes. Its name comes from Daniel E Williams, the distillery worker who made it up to head honcho, back in the 1800s. During his travels, Herlihy is also introducing Americans to Tullamore D.E.W. Trilogy, their new 15-year-old version, which is thrice distilled and aged in used bourbon, oloroso sherry and rum casks. With the power of William Grant & Sons behind the small brand, it is now sold in 80 countries, winning 35 gold medals in the last decade.

JAMESON is perhaps the most widely known brand and has seen huge growth here. Consistent, versatile and affordable, try it in place of vodka in a Moscow Mule (with lime and ginger beer) for your St. Pat’s celebration.

TEELING SINGLE GRAIN is made from malted barley. The Teeling family’s distillery dates back to the 1700s, and the youngest generation has opened the first new distillery built in Ireland in 125 years. Teeling’s tasting notes include fig, melon, citrus, vanilla, spice and cloves.

BUSHMILLS is marked by clean, fruity notes, and this pot-stilled whiskey has followed the same recipe for four centuries. It is one of the top sellers in the United States.

CONNEMARA is an enigma in the Irish category, being the only peated version, giving it a rich smokiness. It’s high proof, so enjoy it with a little dilution or as the base of a cocktail.

Bittersweet Memories A Miyazaki production you may not have seen

by ben kendall culture@sfreporter.com

Hidden beneath the layers of your adult-self, obscured in the forest of past experiences and your relationship with your family, lies perhaps the more real part of yourself. Maybe this version of you is 10 years old and walks alongside, not directly influencing your actions or speaking to you, but a distant reminder that you’re the sum of your history plus unfulfilled desires. That’s the gist of the film Only Yesterday, produced by Hayao Miyazaki in 1991. It was never released

in the US, and with the success of The Tale of the Princess Kaguya last year, Studio Ghibli decided to record an English dialogue track and send it to Western audiences.

The main character is Taeko Okajima (voiced by Daisy Ridley), a single woman with a “good job in Tokyo.” She travels out to the country to pick flowers historically used for rouge by aristocrats during Japan’s feudal era. The process is slow, painstaking and entirely manual labor, but she can’t wait to get started. Taeko’s perception is split between memories of her childhood when

to push your way through. Yet, it’s well worth the effort to keep your butt in the seat and make it past the first half.

The handdrawn animation is simply beautiful. Every cell is colored with extreme care, and it shows. This is par for the course for any Miyazaki film, and Only Yesterday does not disappoint.

You could level the criticism that the animation isn’t used to its potential.

Indeed, this could be a standard motion picture with living, breathing actors on screen instead of cartoon characters, so why animate at all? However, there’s a subtlety in the color and character design that couldn’t be done easily with real sets and people. The animation captures your attention, where it might otherwise run astray. It’s not your standard fare for anime; there are no talking cats or robots or earth-shattering psychic powers. There’s just a woman grappling with who she’s become and who she was as a child.

Overall, the latest foray by Studio Ghibli (for Americans) can be hit-ormiss. It’s really not the most exciting or powerful movie you’ll ever see, but if you’re lucky, you might just learn a little something about yourself after you leave the theater.

she was 10 years old and her current experience in the countryside. During the childhood moments, she’s back with her family in Tokyo, where she grew up, nearly reliving that portion of her life wherein the disappointments and difficulties in being a small girl in mid-sixties Japan are in sharp contrast to the pastoral idealism that she’s partaking in as an adult.

The crux of the film forms around the notion that the dreams and wounds of youth influence who we are (duh), but more than that, they inform how we see ourselves, how we engage in our own personal dialogue. Taeko begins to question what it is to be happy and successful. Only Yesterday is a touching love letter to the era of youthful idealism and the regrets of adulthood. It’s challenging not to be struck down to your core when watching it. And though the film is well steeped in post-war Japanese culture, the personal takeaways transcend those cultural boundaries.

There’s a character in this movie somewhere that you can connect to, even if you can’t connect to the lead. The writing is so strong that you genuinely feel emotions for every person, and that is a rare feat for any motion picture, animated or otherwise. There are some definite feels here.

The pacing is a remarkably slow burn, especially when compared to more modern US studio system flicks.

The runtime is a bit long for what the movie is, and it’s a difficult slog at times

DEADPOOL “f-bombs and dismemberment”

10 CLOVERFIELD LANE

What begins on a rather Hitchcockian level quickly devolves into a mildly enjoyable tangle of run-of-the-mill jump scares, so-so performances and unresolved plot lines in 10 Cloverfield Lane, a spiritual successor (sort of) to 2008 shaky-cam monster flick, Cloverfield. In Lane, we join the emotionally unstable Michelle (Scott Pilgrim’s Mary Elizabeth Winstead) as she flees from her boyfriend into the Louisiana back country, for some reason. She drives in jarring silence along a two-lane highway until you’re pretty sure this damn movie is never going to start, which is conveniently when she gets into a terrible car wreck. She awakens some unknowable amount of time later, injured and chained to a wall in the subterranean fallout bunker of conspiracy theorist/former military man/complete fucking nut-job Howard (played by the always excellent John Goodman).

Michelle is told that America has suffered an attack from unknown entities and the air aboveground is contaminated.

As luck would have it, though, Howard has been preparing for the apocalypse forever, with the help of a young townie named Emmett (John Gallagher Jr. of HBO’s The Newsroom), who is also stuck in there with them. It’s a horrifying concept on its own, made worse by how Michelle has little choice but to believe the clearly unhinged Howard, no matter how difficult it is to

trust a guy who chained you to the damn wall. The more she grapples with whether the attack really occurred or not, the more we feel her frustration. Even Emmett says he saw the attacks firsthand, but it’s hard to shake the feeling they’re both prisoners in Howard’s demented end-of-the-world fantasies.

Goodman brilliantly rides the line between prepared survivalist, fatherlike caretaker, unhinged madman and, in creepier moments, prideful pseudosavior. Subtle smiles grace his face, as if to announce he’s almost glad for the attack, as it proves he was right to build the bunker all along. And though he operates in bizarre and unpredictable ways, Michelle and Emmett come to almost begrudgingly trust and care for him in return.

Of course, the underlying fear that he might just be lying never leaves us, and whereas this could have been used to great effect, had Lane spent even a few minutes longer focusing on actual character development rather than spooky rumblings and pointless, “Oh wow, you also have painful memories?” exchanges, it might have paid off in a big way. Instead, we are left with a tacked-on ending that feels like an afterthought, questions that are brought up and never really answered and a couple of young actors who on their best day couldn’t live up to Goodman’s skills.

Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 103 min.

ZOOTOPIA

Not everyone is enamored with the saccharine-sweet films from the admittedly fine folks at Pixar, and not everyone loves CGI-produced animated films the way they love good old-fashioned cell animation. Still, it would be hard to deny that the field has come light-years since Toy Story unleashed its truly terrifying concept on the world, and every so often a sincerely special animated movie comes along. Zootopia is one of those.

A genuinely clever take on very adult topics like race relations, sexism, strained relationships and the corrupting nature of power, the newest outing from Walt Disney Animation Studios is not only a triumph in terms of storytelling for kids and parents simultaneously (which is actually much harder than you might think), but a wise step from a company that has traditionally/unfortunately often told little girls all over the world to just take it easy already, because a man is on the way to fix everything.

Zootopia, by the way, is cool as hell and looks beautiful the first time we see the city through Judy’s eyes, via brief aerial shots of dizzying rainforest treetop canopies, scorching deserts, miniature rodent neighborhoods and so on. The attention to detail is staggering, and unlike most Pixar films, there is an actual feeling that the city lives and breathes.

ok You’re entering a world of pain, in 10 Cloverfield Lane. force. No one takes Judy seriously, though, and she winds up working as a mere meter maid.

Still, she does her job well, and through a series of right place, right time moments, she is thrust into the midst of a clandestine plot alongside Nick, a slick con artist fox (played amazingly by Jason Bateman) with a tragic past, and the pair must fight the odds to find the bad guys and return order to their city.

Allowing the legitimately funny moments to eclipse whatever paint-by-numbers plot points one would expect from a kid’s movie is the way to go here, and the important lesson we’re helped to relearn is that you should never judge a book by its cover (unless that book is about sloths). Sorry if that sounds cliché, but the greatest hits are the ones that ring true forever.

If nothing else, we can all be reminded that we may need help from time to time, regardless of age, even when we truly do believe in ourselves. (ADV) Violet Crown and Regal Cinemas, PG, 108 min.

THE LADY IN THE VAN

Long venerated actor Maggie Smith frowned her way into today’s pop culture American heart and seems quite at home. We’re all hooked on her recent delivery of stodgy, strong, wittily smart, usually sort of evil characters who are also somewhat loveable, from the Harry Potter franchise to the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Just as Downton Abbey draws to its tear-jerking conclusion on PBS, you can get one more glimpse of her familiar puckered face. Perhaps having the aristocratic Dowager Countess on the brain makes The Lady in the Van even more crushing. And you sort of favor her from the get-go.

One can almost smell the sadness (and the nastyness) in Smith’s portrayal of Mary Shepherd, or we’re not sure what her real name is. At first viewers might feel like the character of Bennett (Alex Jennings) aims to bore us to death with a tired, boring depiction of the boring life of a tired writer. The slow-moving opening leaves you yearning for connection and also trying to figure out if he’s got a grumpy twin or sort of schizophrenic tendencies. But as the story unfolds in his driveway, more about his own struggles with family and foundations begin to show through the cracks.

Shepherd’s van lands in front of Bennett’s home in north London, where she lives there in a fetid collection of plastic bags for 15 years, chasing away children, shunning music and social workers. The movie carries moments of joy and little redemptions and an in-your-face unavoidable question about what the presence of “the lady’s” ilk means in our communities—

how harboring and caring for those on the fringe matters, even as it reveals our ugly prejudices. And how you never, ever really know the whole story. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, PG-13, 104 min.

GODS OF EGYPT

Poor Geoffrey Rush. Poor, poor, poor Geoffrey Rush. Even an accomplished, Academy Award-winning thespian of his caliber (who somehow made a role in the absurd Pirates of the Caribbean seem excellent) could not save the abysmal Gods of Egypt. We journey back to time immemorial, before recorded history, when the gods lived amongst the humans, even if they were 11 feet tall and all looked like fucking supermodels. Osiris, ruler of the lush Nile-adjacent capital, is to step down from the throne and his son Horus (Game of Thrones’ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is supposed to take his place. But nope—Set, god of the barren desert wastes (Gerard Butler, who will apparently be in any ridiculously CGI’d action movie based in ancient history/mythology), ain’t havin’ it. He shows up to ruin everyone’s lives and sets into motion a pain-ridden fascist regime marked only by death, ostentatious monuments and a logistics change in the underworld. A young thief named Bek (Brenton Thwaites) gets fed up with the bullshit, though, and along with his girlfriend, he sets out to change things up and restore Horus to power.

And oh, how they journey and fight. There is no obstacle too powerful to overcome them, be it windswept deserts, humongous fire-breathing snakes, the murderous Set or Chadwick Boseman’s (42) criminally awful British accent as Thoth. The baffling nature of all movies assigning British accents to any/all non-Americans aside, the above points come together to become a film not only bad by this specific sub-genre’s already low standards, but compared to pretty much anything you can think up. The gods all transform into robotically exaggerated versions of themselves, for some reason; the main guy’s wisecracks fall far short of humor again and again, until you just kind of wish he’d die; the journey to the ultimate showdown is ludicrous (and in some cases straight-up lifted from the video game series God of War); and perhaps most painful of all, Rush’s phoned-in performance as sun god Ra is so inconsequential that even a laser-spear battle with a cosmic Sarlacc wouldn’t be enough of a reason to see this hot garbage.

Why have you forsaken us, Gods of Egypt? And why do people keep allowing movies like this to happen? (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 127 min.

Bunnies wearing workout gear? Has the world gone crazy? in Zootopia.

DEADPOOL

It was hard to imagine how 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios were going to accomplish bringing a the lesser-known cult-status character of Deadpool into motion picture territory.

How could the two major studios backing the production possibly create a film with a lead who frequently breaks the fourth wall, who may be aware that he’s a fictional person (possibly pan-sexual), and whose wisecracking has the same lowbrow comedic resonance as it does in the comic series? Against all odds, it seems that this herculean task of mainstream cinema was completed marginally well, especially considering the current precedent regarding the glut of the nostalgia-driven licensing nightmares the US studio system is fond of churning out these days.

Self-referential and turgid with pop-culture call-backs, with even subtle jibes from almost all the film’s characters at the thin plot, the movie is a snide and sophomoric attempt at the superhe-

ro genre. But for some reason, that’s its charm.

It’s as if a couple of young guys who loved comics wrote a movie starring one of their favorite characters, and the studio, somehow being cognizant of the source material and target audience, just let it all happen. The opening credits even lampoon the Hollywood system, declaring that it was directed by “an overpaid tool” and produced by “asshats.”

Deadpool, much like your socially inappropriate and yet (against your better judgment) still hilarious uncle, isn’t for everybody. If you’re a guy 18-35, you may like it. If you like meta satire on the Hollywood system, comic book movies, pop culture and ham-handed witticisms, it might just be for you. It’s chock full of full-frontal nudity for both genders, F-bombs and dismemberment, with a surface level of snappy dialogue that’s reminiscent of Kevin Smith’s Jersey Trilogy (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy). If that’s your cup of tea, then go for it. (BK) Regal, R, 108 min.

Week of March 16th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Artist Steven Spasuk works exclusively with an unusual medium: soot from candles and torches. He spreads the stuff across a blank canvas, then uses various instruments to sculpt the accidental blobs into definitive forms. I’ve seen the results, and they’re both well-done and intriguing. What would be the metaphorical equivalent, in your world, of using soot to make beautiful and interesting things? I think you’re primed to turn waste into building blocks, rot into splendor, and lead into gold. (See Spazuk’s work at spazuk.com.)

problems you need—is the person who is wrong for you in just the right ways. (See Boyd’s original quote: tinyurl.com/boydquote.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) In her book The Winter Vault, Anne Michaels says, “We become ourselves when things are given to us or when things are taken away.” If she’s right, does it mean we should be grateful for those times when things are taken away? Should we regard moments of loss as therapeutic prods that compel us to understand ourselves better and to create ourselves with a fiercer determination? Meditate on these possibilities, Libra. In the meantime, I’m pleased to announce TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Carl Sagan said that science thrives on “two seemingly contradictory attitudes: that the things-getting-taken-away period of your cycle is winding down. Soon you’ll begin a new phase, when an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny you can become a deeper, stronger version of yourself of all ideas, old and new.” Whether or not you are a sci- because of the things that are given to you. entist, Taurus, I recommend that you practice this SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “I’ll make love when the lust approach in the coming weeks. It’s the tool that’s most subsides,” sings Denitia, one-half of the electro-pop likely to keep you centered and free of both rigidity and band Denitia and Sene. That would be a good motto for illusion. As Sagan concluded, this is “how deep truths you to play around with in the coming days, Scorpio—in are winnowed from deep nonsense.” both literal and metaphorical ways. I’ll enjoy seeing how your emotional intelligence ripens as the white-hot GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “Excess on occasion is exhilarating,” said British author W. Somerset Maugham. passion of recent weeks evolves into a more manageable warmth. As fun as the intensity has been, it has blinded “It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening you to some of the possibilities for collaborative growth effect of a habit.” Now would be an excellent time to that have been emerging. You may now be ready to take that advice to heart, Gemini. According to my explore and appreciate sweeter, subtler pleasures. analysis of the astrological omens, you not only have a

license to engage in rowdy fun and extravagant pleasures; it’s your sacred duty. So get out there and treat yourself to an orgy of naughty adventures—or at least a celebration of meaningful thrills. You can return to the rigors of discipline and order once you have harvested the healthy benefits that will come from escaping them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “The poems I have loved the most are those I have understood the least,” said T. S. Eliot. I’m going to steal and expand upon his idea for the purpose of giving you an accurate horoscope. In the coming days, Sagittarius, I suspect that the experiences you love most will be those that you understand the least. Indeed, the experiences you NEED the most will be those that surprise and mystify and intrigue CANCER (June 21-July 22) At one point in Friedrich you. Luckily, life will be ingenious in bypassing your anaNietzsche’s book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the hero is havlytical intelligence so as to provide you with rich emoing a conversation with himself. “You have wanted to pet tional stimuli for your soul. every monster,” he says. “A whiff of warm breath, a little CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Capricorn painter Henri soft tuft on the paw—and at once you were ready to Matisse made the following testimony about his creative love and to lure it.” If I were you, Cancerian, I would regard that type of behavior as forbidden in the coming process: “At each stage I reach a balance, a conclusion.

At the next sitting, if I find that there is a weakness in weeks. In fact, I will ask you not to pet any monsters at the whole, I make my way back into the picture by all—not even the cute ones; not even the beasties and rascals and imps that have slight resemblances to mon- means of the weakness—I re-enter through the breach—and I reconceive the whole. Thus everything sters. It’s time for maximum discernment and caution. becomes fluid again.” I recommend this approach to you (P.S.: One of the monsters may ultimately become a in the coming days, Capricorn. You’ve been making non-monstrous ally if you are wary toward it now.) decent progress on your key project. To keep up the LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) On a social media site, I posted good work, you should now find where the cracks are, the following quote from self-help teacher Byron Katie: and let them teach you how to proceed from here.

“Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons.” One commenter took AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “We all lead three lives,” said Austrian novelist Thomas Bernhard, “an actual one, issue with this. “’Pushing buttons’ is a metaphor that’s an imaginary one, and the one we are not aware of.” I long past its expiration date,” she wrote. “Can’t you suspect you’ll get big glimpses of your third life in the come up with something fresher?” So I did. Here are a few potential substitutes for “push our buttons”: “tweak coming weeks, Aquarius: the one you’re normally not aware of. It might freak you out a bit, maybe unleash a our manias” … “prank our obsessions” … “glitter-bomb few blasts of laughter and surges of tears. But if you our biases” … “squeeze our phobias” … “badger our approach these revelations with reverent curiosity, I bet compulsions” … “seduce our repressions” … “prick our they will be cleansing and catalytic. They are also likely dogmas.” Whichever expression you prefer, Leo, find a to make you less entranced by your imaginary life and graceful way to embrace your fate: Your current job is better grounded in your actual life. unconditional love. The job of everyone else in your life is to tweak your manias and prick your dogmas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) In the coming weeks, you will have maximum power to revise and reinvigorate your approach to cultivating intimate relationships. To aid your quest, I offer this paraphrased advice from Andrew Boyd: Almost every one of us seeks a special partner who is just right. But there is no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why? Because you yourself are “wrong” in some ways—you have demons and flaws and problems. In fact, these “wrongs” are essential components of who you are. When you ripen into this understanding, you’re ready to find and be with your special counterpart. He or she has the precise set of

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “The greatest illusion is not religion,” says aphorist Michael Lipsey. “It’s waking up in the morning imagining how much you’re going to get done today.” But even if that’s often true, Pisces, I suspect that you have the power to refute it in the coming weeks. Your ability to accomplish small wonders will be at a peak. Your knack for mastering details and acting with practical acumen may be unprecedented. For the immediate future, then, I predict that you’ll largely be able to get done what you imagine you can get done.
