Now that the Avengers have stopped an alien invasion, the Dark Knight has foiled Bane’s plans to occupy Gotham, and the Amazing Spider-Man has wallcrawled his way to new heroic heights, we can thankfully be rid

of superheroes for the time being. The Men in Black have hung up their sunglasses, Snow White and her Huntsman are done slaying ogres, and the conspiracy theorists toiling to find a larger cover-up involving all those connected to Jason Bourne have run

There’s more to Adam Levine than the celebrity tabloids would have you believe. The 33-yearold front man of one of the world’s biggest pop bands is also a straight ambassador to the LGBT community – he recently told MTV that if he were president, his first act would be to legalize same-sex marriage.

TONY BENNETT KEY ARENA September 2 Tony Bennett is the man. At 86 years of age, he’s in amazing condition and continues to thrill audiences around the world. On his final stop of a European and North American tour, the 17time Grammy winner attracted concertgoers of all ages, from schoolchildren to college students to grandparents, to Key Arena for a nostalgic afternoon performance during Bumbershoot weekend. see bennett page 37

There’s a story Nelly Furtado likes to tell of her seeing two Lesbian teens squeeze each other while crying as she sang “… On the Radio (Remember the Days)” on one of her first tours. Furtado doesn’t remember the venue. She doesn’t even remember what state she was in. But the emotion that connected all three of them hasn’t left her.

“They were feeling it in a way that I never imagined,” says Furtado, 33. “That really struck a chord with me.”

Those girls would likely find bravado and strength – and maybe even shed a few tears – after hearing the liberation, empowerment, and sense of individuality

performance, raw and unvarnished in all the ways that matter, Dunst proving once again (as if she needed to after Melancholia, All Good Things, and The Cat’s Meow) she’s one of the more underrated actress working slightly under the radar today.

Caplan and Fisher also shine, the latter somewhat surprisingly so, but their characters don’t have nearly as many shadings or prove quite as interesting as their costar’s. The trio as a whole do have melodious chemistry with one another, however, as well as with their male co-stars – James Marsden, Kyle Bornheimer, and Adam Scott – who come into their circle during their night of debauchery. They’re clicking on all cylinders, and whether they’re screaming obscenities, shouting offcolor putdowns, or embracing one another as sisters, their journey intimately connects practically every step of the way.

There aren’t any surprises as far as the narrative itself is concerned. As great as the relationships she’s created are, Headland’s script doesn’t go anywhere that isn’t anticipated four or five beats beforehand. The final scenes are surprisingly flat and somewhat banal, partially muting the rousing emotionally complex hysterics that came before. Becky’s wedding isn’t so much a letdown as it is a flaccid snooze, the rousing highs of the first two-thirds left in the stampeded high-heel-laden dust.

No matter. When Bachelorette gets things right – when it is running fullspeed-ahead barking out what’s on its mind and presenting its three heroines as the complicated sympathetic emotionally resonate messes they are – the comedy soars to heights that had me wanting to cheer. Headland is a filmmaker with inspiration and talent to burn, and when her next effort is ready for courting I’ll be first in line to walk down the aisle hand-in-hand with it. bcdf picture s

Bachelorette September 7 Becky (Rebel Wilson) is getting married. She’s brought back together her old high school clique, asking former best friend Regan (Kirsten Dunst) to be her maid of honor. Also along for the ride are the sarcastically sexual Gena (Lizzy Caplan) and the ditzy yet lovable Katie (Isla Fisher), the group on paper complete opposites yet in practice absolutely accepting of one another for who they really are.

Not that this makes the night before the wedding any less chaotic.

Regan is upset she’s not the first to walk down the aisle, and she’s intent on throwing a bachelorette party so over-the-top that it will become an urban legend. But Becky doesn’t want that at all, and when she puts her foot down this forces her three bridesmaids to clandestinely head into town for an afterhours fete all their own.

Comparisons to The Hangover are unavoidable, as both that comedy and Bachelorette deal with a wild night gone wrong and its repercussions on a beloved friend’s nuptials. But in many ways, writer/ director Leslye Headland’s debut is far more complicated, finding a ribald and risqué way to dive headfirst into female relationships like few similar films, including last year’s hit Bridesmaids, have done. Adapting her own play, she’s

delivered a foul-mouthed exposé that’s as hilarious as it is profound, as

the climactic moments is nowhere near the problem it might otherwise be.

Dunst is hysterical. At the same time, her ferocity is colored with a passionate depth of pain and self-inflicted suffering that’s immediately palpable. She’s the sort of Type-A firebrand that’s become something of a modern stereotype while at the

LAWFULLY WEDDED AROUET October 4–17 Roy Arauz’s company, Arouet, is mounting a special effort designed to raise awareness of the issues surrounding marriage equality. Titled Lawfully Wedded, this evening of short pieces (which he terms “micro-plays”) also includes original poetry and music.

Arauz described for SGN how the project came to be.

“Daniel Cords is studying anthropology at UW Bothell and there’s an emphasis in Gay Studies, and part of his schoolwork was to interview people and run surveys on Gay marriage. He’s been doing a lot of research on Gay relationships. Back in March, he and I were having a conversation about the work he was doing. I thought it would be totally a fun play to do. Once the referendum came about, we decided we had to do it.

We’re using his research as a basis. We can’t use actual stories that were told, for privacy reasons, but they were used as a launching point.

“Every week, the writing team gets a topic and has a week to write something that addresses that issue. Sometimes it’s a story, sometimes it’s statistics. That’s been the inspiration for plays, poetry, and music.

“Some of the pieces might make people uncomfortable, and that’s what I’m interested in. I want to challenge people’s beliefs in what love and marriage are. I want you

in the audience to judge and then question what you’re fighting for. One piece we’re considering is about a straight couple who are swingers and want to swing with a Gay couple. The Gay couple judges them and is horrified by the situation. But that’s exactly what ‘they’ say about Gay marriage, that it’s disgusting.”

The project, says Arauz, is “not a soapbox to say we’re right, but it’s all just opinion and we all judge. It’s just a different aspect of love. If a 52-year-old guy is dating a 22-year-old gal, who are we to judge that?

Why is it when it’s two men it’s so alarming, but it’s been so accepted for heterosexual couples?

“There will be pieces that will have you laughing. It will run the gamut.

“Barbie Humphrey, the face of Purr, has been a huge supporter of Gay rights and Gay marriage, and she has given us free rehearsal space and is throwing a party for us, so we’ll fundraise for Washington United for Marriage [the Approve R-74 campaign].”

fall movies continued from cover

into a brick wall. Summer has come and gone, and the fact that we no longer have to think about the last three months of cinematic overkill doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

On to fall we go, and holding my excitement in check over the lineup of curiosities and events to come might just prove to be impossible. With new flicks from the likes of Paul Thomas Anderson (The Master), Rian Johnson (Looper), Tim Burton (Frankenweenie), Lee Daniels (Paperboy), Ben Affleck (Argo), Martin McDonagh (Seven Psychopaths), Andrew Dominik (Killing Them Softly), and Andy & Larry Wachowski and Tom Tykwer (Cloud Atlas), the months of September and October alone are filled to the brim with potential goodies I can’t wait to see.

Here are some of the films hitting Seattle-area theaters this month and next. As always, release dates are subject to change.

SEPTEMBER 21 Dredd – In this attempt to remove the Sylvester Stallone version from our collective memories, the bloodthirsty comicbook hero returns to wreak havoc and save the citizens of Mega City One from a new mind-altering drug. The trailers make this look like an almost instant remake of The Raid: Redemption, only with more automatic weapons fire and less martial arts.

End of Watch – Found-footage thriller involving a pair of rogue cops (Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Peña) marked for death by a vicious drug cartel. Written and directed

by David Ayer, the man behind such similar titles as Dark Blue, Street Kings, Harsh Times, and Training Day.

ACT UP activist Peter Staley in How To Survive A Plague

and you don’t even have to speak Whale to think so.

Little White Lies – This massive, starstudded French comedy written and directed by Guillaume Canet (Tell No One) revolves around a group of friends on vacation and the one member of their posse left behind after a near-fatal accident leaves them trapped in the hospital.

Resident Evil: Retribution – The fifth entry in this seemingly never-ending series finds a bevy of previous cast members (most of whom we thought were dead) returning to the franchise, assisting star Milla Jovovich in trying to bring down the unstoppable Umbrella Corporation.

SEPTEMBER 28 Backwards – A sports-themed drama about a wannabe Olympic rower (screenwriter Sarah Megan Thomas) forced to take a coaching job to make ends meet, who finds redemption and a new purpose for her life in the process. Nothing overly familiar or cliché about this premise at all. Not a tiny bit.

The Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best – A music-driven comedy that has generated its fair share of buzz at film festivals across the United States, including here in Seattle. All you need to know is that the buzz is completely warranted.

Hotel Transylvania – A computer-animated comedy revolving around Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler) and his attempt to run a Transylvanian hotel for those of the supernatural persuasion. Things become complicated when a human boy (voiced by Andy Samberg) discovers the place and books a reservation, much to the consternation of the other guests.

Looper – In perhaps the year’s most-talked-about sci-fi thriller, Rian Johnson (Brick, T he Brothers Bloom) crafts a scenario about 2072 hit man Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a killer who specializes in taking out his targets 30 years removed from the present. When his latest assignment turns out to be an older version of himself (Bruce Willis), Joe is thrown into a head-spinning conspiracy traversing the very fabric of space and time.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower – Director Stephen Chbosky’s spectacular adaptation of his own acclaimed novel is, as of this writing, the best film I have seen in 2012. In all honesty, I don’t think anything else needs to be said.

Won’t Back Down – An inspirational drama with Viola Davis, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Holly Hunter about two mothers – one a teacher – looking to transform a run-down inner-city school into something positive.

Guess what happens?

William Lucas Walker

SEPTEMBER 7 2 Days in New York – Julie Delpy’s semisequel to 2 Days in Paris is a showcase for Chris Rock, something I never thought I’d write. The hyperbolic standup comic comes into his own as an actor here, stealing just about every scene he’s in. The rest of the movie? Sadly, it’s more or less forgettable.

Bachelorette – The greatest comedy ever?

No. Goes places or does things we don’t expect or see coming? No. Funny? Hell to the Yes. Laugh-out-loud? Most definitely.

Would I watch it again? In a heartbeat.

The Cold Light of Day – Henry Cavill (the new Superman), Bruce Willis, and Sigourney Weaver star in a thriller about a young Wall Street trader searching for his family after they’re kidnapped while on vacation in Spain. It isn’t screening for the press in Seattle, which probably tells us all we need to know about its quality.

The Inbetweeners Movie – A theatrical spinoff of the hit BBC series, this isn’t as funny or as endearing as its makers clearly intended it to be. Fans of the show will probably enjoy it, but overall this American Pie-style riff on adolescents at play doesn’t do anything new and offers up little of value for the uninitiated.

The Words – Intriguing premise, bad movie. That’s all that comes to mind when I process The Words with Bradley Cooper, Dennis Quaid, Olivia Wilde, Zoe Saldana, and Jeremy Irons. A muddled mess, this film floats between two competing narratives, never finding the balance necessary to make either of them resonate. Everything builds to the type of melodramatic, threadbare conclusion that had me rolling my eyes in frustrated disbelief.

SEPTEMBER 14 Arbitrage – Richard Gere gives an impassioned performance as a Wall Street hedge fund manager dealing with a variety of personal and corporate crises on the eve of the recent financial meltdown. While this movie isn’t nearly as successful or as profound as it wants to be, Gere is admittedly fantastic.

Chicken With Plums – A French import about a talented musician (Mathieu Amalric) who loses the will to live when his wife destroys his treasured violin during an argument. It gets quirkier and more surreal from there, and the less said about it here, the better. A gem.

Finding Nemo 3D – The classic returns,

struggled to combat the AIDS epidemic ripping apart the LGBT community. Inspiring, educational, and filled with emotion, this is a film everyone should see.

Liberal Arts – A comedy written and directed by How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor, involving a thirtysomething man returning to his alma mater and falling in love with a 19-year-old coed (Elizabeth Olsen).

The Master – Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood) returns with this intriguing drama centered on a charismatic cult leader (Philip Seymour Hoffman), his loving wife (Amy Adams), and the naval war hero (Joaquin Phoenix) who falls under his spell. Without a doubt, this is September’s most anticipated release.

Trouble With the Curve – Clint Eastwood headlines (minus the empty chair) as a Major League Baseball scout who is forced to show his estranged daughter (Amy Adams) the ropes before being put out to pasture by his bosses.

Hello I Must Be Going – Smart, funny, and perceptive, Melanie Lynskey shines as a struggling thirtysomething who returns home to live under her parents’ roof and enters into a May-December affair with the son of one of her father’s business associates. A winsome, heartfelt gem.

The House at the End of the Street – Fresh off The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence stars in this thriller about a single mother (Elisabeth Shue) and her teenage daughter moving into a house hiding a gruesome secret involving a murdered family who used to live next door. Let’s just hope it isn’t as OCTOBER 5 derivative as it sounds.

Frankenweenie – Tim Burton crafts a How to Survive a Plague – A fantastic feature-length version of the short film that documentary chronicling the rise of ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group) during the 1980s and ’90s as both groups see fall movies page 37

All hail King Tut

Egyptian treasures highlight Seattle’s overflowing fall arts scene

by Milton W. Hamlin SGN A&E Writer The Emerald City hosts a cornucopia of outstanding museum and art exhibits. It may be a milestone of the fall arts season for Seattle to have seemingly endless choices in the visual arts world – everything from the fabled gold of Egypt’s King Tut to the (literally) glowing glass instillations at Dale Chihuly’s new Garden and Glass exhibition at Seattle Center to the lemons-into-lemonade exhibit of post-Civil War quilting at the Bellevue Arts Museum.

TUT DRAWING RECORD CROWDS The current North American tour of treasures from King Tut’s tomb has surprised no one by shattering attendance records at the Pacific Science Center. Now on the last leg of its multi-year journey, the 150 objects in Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs arrived in Seattle to great fanfare in May. For the most part, the exhibit (open through January 6) exceeds expectations.

The previous Tut exhibit, in the late 1970s, featured about 75 high-quality, world-famous objects from the long forgotten tomb of the obscure “Boy King,” who died after less than 10 years on the throne. Early 20th-century Egyptologist Howard Carter believed fervently that Tut’s tomb was unfound, unplundered, and held unimaginable riches. And he was right – his dis-

that is simply not the Tut mask – which, inexplicably, is still being used for the exhibit’s poster and other promotional materials. Strange.

One of the most touching items is a simple cedar wooden chest with a rare (we are told) dome top. This unpainted, unadorned chest holds the embalmed fetuses of Tut’s two stillborn children. He and his child-wife had no heirs when the Boy King died mysteriously at about age 19.

Electronic displays behind the actual objects are a revelation. The three sets of golden shrines protecting Tut’s mummy are “removed” in the electronic recreation, to stunning effect.

The step-by-step preparation of the four canopic jars (used to store the internal organs in the mummification process) is likewise revelatory.

Another highlight is the placement of the exhibit items against oversized photo murals of the tomb in disarray – plundered early on by grave-robbers who took the gold and left the everyday objects, including alabaster lamps of incredible delicacy, childhood board games, and beaded sandals. To see one of the lamps stacked with other items in the photomural, and see the actual lamp in front of it, is simply breathtaking.

A few quibbles: This special, timedticket exhibit is expensive, and it is also user-unfriendly (no chairs or benches are offered for a contemplative moment, and there are no restrooms inside the exhibit area).

courtes y Chihuly Garden and Glass

The exhibit, ranging from recreations of European installations to a semi-”closet cleaning” gallery to brand-new creations – exceeds all expectations and displaces any fears of crass commercialism. A highlight is the on-premises restaurant, crammed full of items from Chihuly’s private collection.

Even the individual tables contain glassed-over displays. You name it, Chihuly collects it. Great food, greater service. Five stars. Highest recommendation.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

covery of the pharaoh’s basically intact tomb in 1922 captured the imagination of the world, and the year-by-year revelations of its riches captivated the art world.

About half of the current exhibit celebrates Egypt’s long history, with Tut’s treasures comprising the other half.

While the fondly remembered 1970s blockbuster, the first real smash-hit exhibition Seattle had ever experienced, featured only major items, the current show offers a strange mixture of the mundane (even the 10 gold fingernail protectors from the mummy can seem mundane) and the unbelievable. Gone is the world-famous gold mask from the mummy cases. Another golden mask, from a lesser-known pharaoh, is on display in the exhibit’s first half, but

AUSTRALIAN ART BIZ BOOMING As SGN – and this scribe – reported early this summer, the Seattle Art Museum’s major show of Ancestral Modern Australian Aboriginal Art and the Jeffrey Moose Gallery’s showcasing of similar art for sale gave Seattleites a rare opportunity. The tongue-in-cheek “See it at SAM, Buy it at Jeff’s” ad campaign became reality as the gallery and the museum shared guest speakers, hosted important art experts, and collaborated in other ways. Although the SAM exhibit is now closed, the gallery show has been extended through October.

While the exhibit’s centerpiece – a monumental $45,000 painting by a group of major artists – has not yet sold, the entry-level items were “snapped up in a matter of hours or days,” says Moose. The Gallery is on the second floor of the Rainier Square building and in its new space on 5th Avenue.

Celebrating 39 Years!

by Albert Rodriguez SGN A&E Writer SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS KEY ARENA September 2 There were probably some folks gathered inside Key Arena who weren’t familiar with Sharon Jones, or who may have heard of her by name only. But when the sassy R&B artist had finished mopping up the stage, it was a sure bet that no one would soon be forgetting her.

Jones, a singer known for her old-school style of soul music, was a lively opening act for Tony Bennett at Bumbershoot. This woman can work a crowd, and she had the audience totally in her grasp throughout the concert.

Introduced by her band, an entourage of eight men dressed handsomely in various colored suits, Jones was a big ball of energy from the start. The group’s hour-long show included a brassy, fast-paced version of “He Said I Can” and a smooth take on the Motown favorite “I Heard It Through the Grapevine.”

furtado

continued from cover beaming through Furtado’s first Englishlanguage studio album in six years, The Spirit Indestructible (out September 18).

Azzopardi: Why has it been so long since you released an English-language album?

Furtado: Getting inspired again, making time for pursuits and hobbies and families and friends, and taking some time out to establish my label, Nelstar. Nelstar was the first project I did after Loose. My first signing was a group called Fritz Helder and the Phantoms. We put out their release and did some fun traveling with them and showcases, but eventually they broke up.

Then I launched another album on my label, which was my Spanish album, Mi Plan, and I wrote that with Alex Cuba. That journey ended with him winning Best New Artist at the Latin Grammys, and my album won Best Female Pop Vocal Album.

Azzopardi: What’s a new hobby that you’ve picked up?

Furtado: Working on my label, more than anything. I’m obviously spending time with my family and enjoying being a mom and doing all the hands-on things that you don’t have as much time to do when you’re traveling around. And I actually picked up basketball! That’s been fun.

Azzopardi: Can you dunk?

Furtado: I can’t dunk, but I’m fast. I’ve got some moves. [laughs] Azzopardi: Where have you been traveling?

Furtado: Right before I started cutting some of the record I did with Rodney Jerkins, I went on this crazy tour of national parks and forests of the United States. It was this awesome journey. Sometimes you have to get really unplugged to get inspired. I feel like if you really live your life, you’re going to put all your energy into your songs, and your songs are going to feel alive and like they’re living and breathing, [but] if you don’t feel alive, your music’s not going to feel alive. At the end of the day, I want people to press Play on that album and really feel like it’s taking them somewhere – like that energy is taking them over. That’s why, I think, I take all these musical detours in my career.

Azzopardi: You’ve gone from the popfolk of your 2000 debut, Whoa, Nelly! to hip-hop on Loose. What about dance music inspired the change?

Furtado: When I was a child, every birth-

Sharon Jones brings the funk to Key Arena

“It is such an honor being here today,” said the Georgia-born vocalist. Later in the show, Jones playfully complained that Bennett has collaborated with so many other artists but never with her. Time will tell if her wish ever comes true, although she sang a few bars of “Moon River” to state her case.

During a song-and-dance medley, Jones wowed the audience with a range of moves that showcased everything from the Twist to the Mashed Potato. Wearing a sleeveless metallic silver and black cocktail dress with a pair of medium heels, she shuffled her feet, shook her hips, and shimmied her small frame to the cheers and whistles of the audience. At one point, she put her own spin on the Funky Chicken, telling the Dap-Kings to “give me some chicken music!”

Jones was electrifying on two numbers, “When I Come Home” and “100 Days, 100 Nights,” the title track of the band’s 2007 breakthrough album. The latter entry closed out her set, which also featured a brand-new song that has yet to be recorded.

Sharon Jones As the horn section blared away, a sweaty Jones excused herself to the Key Arena that were primarily there to see Bennett. In wise overlook.

She earned a way, this is what Bumbershoot is all about will overlook Sharon Jones & the Dapa standing ovation from thousands of people – discovering artists that you might other- Kings in the future. day I would ask for old Casio keyboards and sound-effect machines. I had a collection. I remember trying to sample Billy Joel into my tape recorder from vinyl when I was four years old. I was just always obsessed with technology in music. Even when I first moved to Toronto from the small town of Victoria, I engaged myself in the trip-hop and electronica of Toronto. I sang at urban talent shows. I made trip-hop music. I used to cut electronic tracks of my DJ friends in Victoria when I was in college. So it’s been a natural love affair. Although, from time to time, I like to unplug and be like, “Will this song sound good on acoustic guitar?”

Azzopardi: Will you ever return to the pop-folk sound on Whoa, Nelly! and Folklore that made you a star?

Furtado: People really hold those two albums dear. I just think there’s nothing like your debut. You’ll never be the person you were when you did your debut. There’s an innocence there – a real naïveté and a beautiful idealism that’s awesome. And just musically you spend all your time making music and then, when you start making records professionally, you don’t have as much time to explore sounds in music. That’s why I took a break for this album. I really wanted to chill and bring the music back, so I think fans of those first two albums are really going to enjoy this new one, because there’s a lot of breadth to the album musically.

Azzopardi: Did you go to any Gay clubs as a teenager?

Furtado: Yes! I will never forget coming to Toronto – I was sleeping on my sister’s couch at the age of 17 and my sister took me to this awesome Gay club, which was the first time I saw beautiful queens on stage.

I’d never seen them before. And I’m coming from Victoria, this little town, and I’m going, “Oh my God, there’s a whole other world out here.” I was transfixed. I remember we’d go to a rave all night and then catch a Greyhound to Montreal and do it all over again. I’d have my bottle of water and just dance all night. It was really about the dancing and getting lost in the music for me.

That’s never changed.

I really feel like music can take you places. This was proven to me again when I saw Tiësto play at the Winter Music Conference in Miami about three years ago and, near the end of his set, I actually began to cry because the music was so emotional. It reminded me that dance music, just by itself, can really take you to emotional places. He actually produced one track on my album,

called “Thoughts.” It’s not typical Tiësto.

Azzopardi: What song do you think your Gay fans will be into most?

Furtado: I have a really good dance track called “Waiting for the Night” – an ethnomusicology track that’s got accordion and a dance beat. It’s all about this summer I spent in Portugal as a teenager waiting to run into this boy while on the island. It’s just a really fun, upbeat song. “The Most Beautiful Thing” is really special, I think. And “Spirit Indestructible” is all about how strong our spirits are and how we can really conquer anything. Great things have happened in the [Gay] community in the last couple of years.

Azzopardi: Who’s the closest Gay person to you in your life?

Furtado: One of my best friends, who I just adore and have known since childhood.

He’s a wonderful guy – and a diva in the best way! [laughs] Azzopardi: Are you talking about more than just earrings with “the bigger, the better” line on the first single from the album, “Big Hoops”?

Furtado: [laughs] It’s funny: One of my Gay friends said the same thing! He said, “Oh, this one’s dirty.”

Azzopardi: Are you a size queen?

Furtado: No, no! But no matter what you’re doing – and whether you’re in the bedroom or walking down the street – you’ve gotta have that thing that makes you feel tough and gives you swagger. Whether it’s a hoop or a watch or a special memento, or maybe it’s just the way you did your hair that day – something that makes you feel good. The bigger, the better.

Azzopardi: You were “Like a Bird” 12 years ago. What animal best represents you now at this point in your life?

Furtado: I’ve really been connecting with eagles lately, because the eagle represents the spirit, so this bird thing just ain’t going nowhere!

Lady Gaga announces Tacoma date

by Albert Rodriguez SGN A&E Writer Two and a half years after towing her massive, and rather impressive, “Monster Ball” tour to the Tacoma Dome, Lady Gaga is doing it again.

The international music icon revealed more dates for her new road show, the “Born This Way Ball,” for early 2013, including a Tacoma stop on January 14. The tour began last spring in Asia and Australia, and is currently winding its way through Europe. Between now and the North American leg, Gaga will also perform in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Columbia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and South Africa.

The tour is giving a boost to last year’s album, Born This Way, which already has produced the chart-topping hits “You and I,” “The Edge of Glory,” and the title track.

Ticket information for the Tacoma show and all other North American appearances will be unveiled on September 18. Grab a copy of SGN or like us on Facebook for tour updates.

Come meet Tim and Matt and join the family.

Seattle Gay News 35

levine

continued from cover With so much going on in Levine’s life – judging this fall’s third season of The Voice (NBC-TV; season premiere September 10), making his acting debut on Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story (FX; season premiere October 17), and touring with Maroon 5 – it’s no wonder his band’s latest album is called Overexposed.

In this exclusive chat, Levine talks about how fighting for LGBT rights has little to do with his having a Gay brother, what he really thinks of people who don’t believe in marriage equality, and whether we’ll see him (ahem) overexposed on American Horror Story.

Azzopardi: Of all the things you could’ve said, why did you tell MTV that you’d legalize Gay marriage first if you were president?

Levine: It’s just so silly and it doesn’t make any sense to me that you wouldn’t be able to marry whomever you want to marry. It’s not our business. I don’t know why we’re obsessed with making everything in this country our business, all the time. It seems we’re a little behind on that, and we

just need to make it legal and stop caring so much. It doesn’t matter. And it shouldn’t matter.

Azzopardi: What would you say to other straight people who don’t agree with you on the marriage issue?

Levine: Listen, I’m always willing to hear all sides of all arguments. Anyone who doesn’t agree with it is essentially putting themselves above other people. That’s what they’re doing. And that’s not OK with me.

People have their personal preferences as to what they want to do with their own lives, and they have every right to do that – just like a Gay couple has every right to do that. It’s just not anyone’s business except the people involved. That’s all I would say: “What makes you better than these people?”

People have a million different justifications and reasons why they don’t want [same-sex marriage] allowed, but it doesn’t check out. Whenever I hear people’s reasoning behind it, I think to myself: First of all, marriage isn’t always successful anyway.

Look at the divorce rate and all the things that go wrong with marriage. Whether it’s Gay or straight, there are issues with it.

Clearly people have a hard time staying together, and that’s just a sad truth about

w e e k o f S e p t e m b e r 7 - S e p t e m b e r 13

ARIES (March 20 – April 19): When people disagree with you, it’s not about you!

This can be hard to remember, especially at work. Efforts to charm will probably backfire. Just keep your nose to the grindstone and do your best.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): You want to make big changes at home, but are there others to consider? “Brilliant” surprises will not be appreciated. New recipes are a safer bet. Treat your creative efforts as experiments – there are no failures, only lessons.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): Glib charm will not go down well. Make your words matter. Use your charm to convey challenging notions. Being nice helps get the message across, but by itself it’s no message at all.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22): You need to take care of yourself and get back to basics if you want to care effectively for others. Reconsider your recent accomplishments and talk them over with a close friend. The new moon on the 15th will bring new ideas to explore.

LEO (July 23 – August 22): No matter how much charm you pour on in your efforts to help others, they may not be much appreciated. Self-improvement is always a worthwhile effort. Working on yourself can open opportunities to play with others.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Trust your creative and erotic instincts. Some rational discernment is necessary, but you should know within a count of 10 whether you are hearing the call of passionate brilliance or a siren’s song.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Even without malicious intent, gossip can be very damaging. Your friends mean well, but do you need sloppy blabbermouths complicating your life? Trust your partner’s advice on who your friends really are.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Challenges at work can bring out your best.

It will take hard work, creativity, and shrewd thinking, but you can win accolades.

Your innovative instincts are good. It will take subtle persuasion to get others to go along.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): Kindness and charity can take considerable effort. Some poor annoying fool probably has no idea that he or she is hitting your sensitive points. You don’t have to put up with it, but you can be kind and gentle when stopping it.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): As in a bad romantic comedy, a misunderstanding could lead to a passionate affair. More than that? Probably not, but it could still change your life. New ideas at work need some polish, but will help you push forward.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): News from your partner could knock you for a loop and change the relationship. If you think of it as a battle, you will lose the war. Pay attention and adapt. Necessary changes won’t be easy but will make things a lot better in the long run.

PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Confusion can lead you to friends for advice.

Listen, but consider carefully how their suggestions conflict with your own values. Out of that clash of ideas you’ll come up with something very useful. If your partner is being annoying, he or she really needs your support now.

marriage in our society. People should be allowed to succeed and fail at marriage as they so desire.

Azzopardi: Has having a Gay brother influenced how outspoken you’ve become for the Gay community?

Levine: I don’t think that having a Gay brother has affected the way I feel about it, because I would feel the same way regardless. I happen to have a Gay brother, but that doesn’t mean I’m more of an advocate for equal human rights. That shouldn’t change anything about the way that I feel.

Azzopardi: But he’s your brother, so certainly some of your passion for Gay rights is an extension of that relationship, right?

Levine: Of course! That contributes on some level to the way that I feel. But I don’t know – I don’t think I would feel any differently if he happened to be straight. The relationships that I have with people – whether it’s my brother or a friend, Gay or straight – shouldn’t really ever come into play. Someone’s sexual preference is their sexual preference. Let’s move on.

When I’m talking about dating a girl and they’re talking about dating a guy – big fucking deal. It doesn’t faze me. Obviously I was brought up to believe that everybody is on a level playing field and we’re all crazy, cool, and all that fun stuff – and I don’t pay much mind to it, because who am I to judge people? I judge people based on the things that they do. I judge people based on their character. If you have a friend who decides to do certain things in their own private time, even if they’re straight, whatever the fuck they’re into, fine. It doesn’t matter. It just simply doesn’t affect the way I view a person. It’s so arbitrary.

Azzopardi: How big of a role do you think the Gay community has had in Maroon 5’s career?

Levine: The music that we make is for people to enjoy, and as far as all communities are concerned, the band’s mission statement is that we make music for everybody and that we love everyone who appreciates it and we appreciate everyone who appreciates it. There’s every type of person at our shows. And I love that. The more diverse our crowds get over time, the happier we get as a band.

Azzopardi: What’s been the best part of shooting American Horror Story so far?

Levine: It’s so much fun. I’m having a blast and obviously Ryan is amazing and so passionate and so cool, and I thank him for giving me this opportunity. It’s a really special show to be a part of, and it’s been really fun and I’m very excited to see the results.

I’ve never really seen myself do any of this before, so I’m a little wigged out about that – actually watching myself. It’s all new and it’s all fun and it’s a fresh experience.

I’ve gotten super into it and hope there are more cool things like that to come. And I’ve got a lot of blood on me!

Azzopardi: What does it taste like?

Levine: It tastes like gross corn syrup crap.

Azzopardi: Dylan McDermott is known for getting naked a lot on the show. Should we expect you to get naked as well?

Levine: [laughs] I don’t think I’ll be getting naked on the show. There’s no nudity for me. But you’ll see. It’s definitely interesting.

Azzopardi: Who’s the bigger diva on The Voice – you or Christina Aguilera?

Levine: Probably me. [laughs] You know, it’s cool because at this point, we finally hit our stride as friends – all four of us. Anytime you get four people together who don’t know each other very well, at first certain people gravitate toward others and alliances are formed and friendships are formed. But what’s great now is that all four of us are very close and having the best time because we’re the most connected we’ve ever been.

Azzopardi: Blake Shelton seems very connected to you. So connected, in fact, he has said that he wants to kiss you. Is there a bromance going on that you want to tell us about?

Levine: [laughs] I’m pretty sure all that is in good humor. I’m sure he doesn’t really want to kiss me. He’s married; he’s taken.

Azzopardi: When was the moment that you felt like Maroon 5 had become overexposed?

Levine: [The album title] is more just a

humorous take on the fact that the band is everywhere, which is a wonderful thing. It’s kind of nice to put a spin on it and make fun of it and be silly about it rather than turn it into a bad thing. Because it’s amazing.

We’ve been lucky enough to withstand over a decade of, I guess, what you’d call relevance, and we’re really excited about that – continuing to have songs on the radio, playing big concerts, and having this wonderful career. But we’re everywhere, so I do believe there is some truth to that statement, and it’s funny to poke a little bit of fun at it.

Azzopardi: A lot has changed in the business since you started 10 years ago. We have Chely Wright, an out Gay country artist, and now the first major out hip-hop artist, Frank Ocean. How do you think these people, and the music business as a whole, can be influential in changing people’s mind regarding Gay politics?

Levine: It’s a great platform for that.

We’ve made a lot of strides in a lot of ways as far as acceptance is concerned. What’s funny is everyone is always talking about the world being so fucked and such a disaster, but when you really look at it, there’s an argument in there that the world’s become a better place. Look at the strides. It’s really easy to look at all the things that are wrong with the world and say, “Oh my God, we’re all going to Hell in a handbasket.” But I think what’s cool to say is, “Look at the wonderful things that we have been able to achieve and look at how much more equally people are treated now as opposed to the past.”

I think we have a lot of really big strides [yet] to make. For some reason, someone being homophobic is still somewhat acceptable in our society, which I don’t like. That’s what I hate so much, but I think that we’ve made strides there, too. It’s going to be a long battle. People make fun of people too much for being Gay – it’s too culturally accepted still, but it’s better.

You used to watch a movie and people used to say – I won’t say it, but – ‘f-a-g’ all the time. And that doesn’t happen anymore.

You have to look at that and say, “That’s a good thing, man.” It’s not this derogatory thing that’s widely acceptable. You look back to the ’70s and ’80s and you’re like, “Whoa, I can’t believe that’s in this movie or on this television show, or that it was casually thrown around a lot.” It’s become a bad word, and that’s a good thing. There’s always going to be a lot wrong with the world, but I do think it’s becoming a better place in that regard.

Azzopardi: What about the music business itself? Do you see it evolving faster than the rest of the world?

Levine: That would be a nice idea. You do tend to find that a lot of people who are involved in music don’t care about whether someone is Gay or not, or is Gay themselves. Who knows why that’s the case.

Maybe that particular part of entertainment is evolving or has always been that way.

[For] most of the people I know, it’s just not an issue. Most people in the music industry don’t necessarily judge people for that kind of thing and it doesn’t really come into play – it doesn’t matter. People, especially musicians and artists, were more guarded a while ago. Now it doesn’t seem to bother anybody very much, which is great.

Listen, the forward movement with this whole thing is good, and getting it all out there and having discussions and debates only helps us advance, so I’m all about discussing it with someone. I’m still very interested in getting to the bottom of why people don’t understand that in saying certain people aren’t allowed to marry – what leg do you have to stand on there? Unless you can admit that you’re putting yourself above them, then there’s no argument. Otherwise you would say, “Everyone has the right to marry.” That’s a hard pill to swallow because, like I said, I’m always ready to play the other side and to try to appreciate the other side for what it’s worth, and you can’t really argue unless you can start to understand where that side comes from. But I still don’t quite get it. It still baffles me.

bennett

continued from cover Appearing on stage not a minute late, Bennett greeted the crowd with a huge smile and immediately went to work. His 90-minute set list included polished versions of numerous pop and jazz standards while leaving room for a few of his signature tunes. Dressed in a snappy yellow dinner jacket and black slacks, Bennett was not only impressive with his vocals, but he also charmed with a dash of humor.

“Rosemary Clooney and I were the first American Idols,” he joked, before singing a beautiful rendition of “Cold, Cold Heart.”

Backed by an all-star band of veteran musicians, Bennett dazzled on Irving Berlin’s “Steppin’ Out With My Baby” and a tender interpretation of the Fred Astaire classic “The Way You Look Tonight.”

A medley of songs that spanned his career featured “One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)” and a knockout version of “The Good Life.” Bennett performed snippets of some numbers (typically the first verse and the chorus), while doing others in their entirety.

“Do we keep going?” the legend asked the audience after more than an hour had passed, and they responded with a very loud “Yes!” So he kept it going with a brilliant run-through of Frank Sinatra’s “The Best Is Yet to Come” and a short time later delighted the Key Arena crowd with his most memorable offering, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.” Wrapping things up, he performed “Smile,” recalling that Charlie Chaplin had sent him a note complimenting him on that particular track, which was used in Chaplin’s film Modern Times.

There was no encore, although the crowd certainly begged for one. Bennett did return to the stage for repeated hand-waves and farewell bows, but alas, no more songs.

One of the most respected voices in pop music, Bennett has drawn new fans by collaborating with the industry’s younger standouts, from Lady Gaga to Amy Winehouse to Michael Buble. But no one at his Seattle concert seemed to care about that.

They wanted classic Tony Bennett, and that was what they got.

fall movies continued from page 33

put him on the map, still gloriously animated using stop-motion techniques, revolving around a young boy who brings his beloved pet pooch back from the dead.

Pitch Perfect – Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air, Twilight) stars in a musical melodrama about a college freshman persuaded to join an all-girl singing group. Think Step Up meets Glee and you’ve got a good idea what’s going on with this one.

Sinister – A found-footage horror film with Ethan Hawke as a true-crime novelist who uncovers the truth behind a grisly murder, much to his dismay. The word on this is extremely positive, and I for one can’t wait to get a look.

Taken 2 – Liam Neeson returns as a mysterious man with a particular set of skills who is once again forced to save his family (this time both his daughter and his wife) from certain death.

V/H/S – Sometimes brilliant, sometimes obnoxious, sometimes nauseating, sometimes chilling, this collection of foundfootage scares revolving around a group of thieves tasked with stealing a prized videotape certainly isn’t without its positives. The scares it generates are genuine but so are the headaches, and I’m not entirely sure the positives here outweigh the negatives.

with freeing six Americans trapped at the home of the Canadian ambassador during the Iranian Revolution. Based on recently declassified documents, this movie has the potential to be nothing short of sensational.

Here Comes the Boom – Kevin James as a biology teacher who masquerades as a mixed-martial-arts cage fighter to raise money for his struggling school. Yeah, I’m not exactly sure how to respond to that synopsis, either.

The Paperboy – Lee Daniels follows up Precious with this star-studded adaptation of Pete Dexter’s novel revolving around a reporter returning to his Florida hometown to investigate a murder. The response out of Cannes wasn’t exactly euphoric, although Matthew McConaughey’s performance received praise.

Seven Psychopaths – Can’t. Wait. That’s all I have to say about this raucous-sounding black comedy. In Bruges writer/director Martin McDonagh returns with a tale of a struggling screenwriter inadvertently caught up in an underworld bloodbath after a gangster’s beloved Shih Tzu is kidnapped.

OCTOBER 19 Alex Cross – Tyler Perry takes over for Morgan Freeman as the title character of this Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) directed enterprise, a supposed origin story for the popular James Patterson creation, revolving around the detective’s pursuit of the killer responsible for murdering a member of his estranged family.

Paranormal Activity 4 – You really thought they’d stop at three? Don’t be silly.

This latest chapter in the saga sports a yetundisclosed plot, which takes place five years after the events of the first film.

Killing Them Softly – Andrew Dominik’s (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) latest garnered rave reviews out of Cannes and revolves around a professional enforcer tasked with learning the truth behind a heist during a mob-protected poker game. Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, Ray Liotta, and James Gandolfini star.

OCTOBER 26 Chasing Mavericks – A surfing drama inspired by a true story, this movie is notable for the fact that original director Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) was forced to step down due to health issues, being replaced by Michael Apted (Gorillas in the Mist) for the final three weeks of shooting.

Cloud Atlas – Andy and Larry Wachowski (The Matrix) and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) join forces for this ambitious, star-studded science-fiction spectacle sprung from the pages of David Mitchell’s best-selling book. Good, bad, or in-between, this is arguably the must-see cinematic event of the entire year.

Fun Size – This kid-friendly comedy is about a teenager who wants to go to a gigantic Halloween party thrown by the boy she’s got a crush on, but who is forced to babysit her peculiar little brother instead. Victorious star Victoria Justice and Suburgatory scene-stealer Jane Levy are featured.

The Sessions – A Sundance favorite with John Hawkes and Helen Hunt, about a 36-year-old man in an iron lung who wants to lose his virginity. Oscar buzz on this one is high, even if the concept is a bit cringeinducing.

War of the Buttons – A French import based on the timeless Louis Pergaud novel, this film revolves around a pair of rival kid gangs battling it out for supremacy during World War II, who realize their mutual animosity might be misplaced when they learn the Nazis are on the verge of discovering that their beloved neighbor is a Jew.

OCTOBER 11–21 The Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival – The Seattle stalwart returns for its 17th year. We’ll have full coverage of the festival start to finish, with capsule reviews of as many of the films as possible. For more information, check out www.threedollarbillcinema.org.

OCTOBER 12 Argo – Ben Affleck’s third trip behind the camera is his must buzzed-about yet, the talented writer/actor/director crafting a tale about a CIA “exfiltration” specialist tasked
