AN I
DINO DE LAURENTIIS CENTENNIAL
Starting Friday August 9, the Brattle will be celebrating the centennial birthday of acclaimed and prolific producer, Dino De Laurentiis (born August 8, 1919). De Laurentiis was one of the major producers that helped launch Italian cinema onto the global stage following World War II. He produced such classics as Fellini’s La Strada and Nights of Cabiria. Although still active in the ‘60s, De Laurentiis relocated to the US in the ‘70s and pivoted to produce blockbusters such as Serpico, Conan the Barbarian, and King Kong—the latter of which WHEN: made him a household name. Through8/98/12 out the ‘80s and ‘90s, De Laurentiis would go on to produce such influential works as Blue Velvet and Manhunter. Al- WHERE: though De Laurentiis died in 2010, at the Brattle age of 91, his cinematic works continue Theatre to be discovered and beloved. The Brattle will be showing a number of these movies across a diverse range of genres, from La Strada to Barbarella, and King Kong to Blue Velvet. Although the movies themselves vary wildly, their one similarity is that they all deserve to be seen on the big screen. Happy Birthday, Dino. Check BrattleFilm.org for

HOW TO LEAD A ZERO WASTE LIFESTYLE
PLACES Y O U C A N HANG: Echo Bridge in Newton
It’s moving season, my trashy babies! Need a hard-core visual of the engorged shillelagh of endless W/ MELANIE BERNIER waste that’s crammed into each and every orifice of modern life? Look no further than the gaping garbage hole of moving day. Being ZW means considering the life cycle of everything I own: how it was made, how it’s useful to me, how it will be regenerated when I no longer need it. Ideally, I acquire only what’s of use, but like everyone else, I get shit I don’t need. Packing up to move, I question the wisdom of Past Mel: what kind of “art” was that b trying to make with 30 lbs of metal studs and acid wash jeans? Lesson noted. Distinguishing items of use and value is personal work, Built in 1876, the Sudbury Aqueduct carries fresh water from Farm Pond in Framingham to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir in and it comes with practice. This practice alone won’t transform the epicenter of our city’s annual garbage Brighton. Along its way is Echo Bridge, an American Water orgy, Allston Christmas - but it would help. Nothing says “my parents pay my Landmark, spanning the Charles River at Hemlock Gorge rent!” better than the street waste generated by thousands of young folk, as between Needham and Newton Upper Falls. they scramble to vacate neighborhoods they feel little connection to. In this The gorge offers scenic, secluded trails on both steep banks. fashion, the curbs of Allston become monuments to our deeply wounded Descending from the Needham side leads to a boardwalk, culture of garbage chaos.

If we willingly let this happen to our then onto a peninsula featuring the craggy puddingstone resources, why bother buying them to begin with?

The real place to hang, however, is under the bridge on the Instead, it could be a time to re-assess the value of objects in our lives, and return resources to the local community. Doing so is relatively simple: 1 - give Newton side, on the deck, with some friends if you can rally yourself enough time to sort through your sorry collection of crap and 2 them, with some musical instruments if you can carry them, or - know where to sell or donate unwanted items.

voice. The echo is exceptional - a natural delay pedal. Play a call-and-response rhythm, play sparse for a straight trance feel, or find the pocket, hit between the echoes and play a triplet or 6/8 groove. Sing arpeggiating melodies or bend notes and you’ll harmonize with your own echo. If you’re more a dramatist or poet than musician, experimenting under Echo Bridge will no doubt be enjoyable and fruitful for your practice. The Hemlock Gorge public parking lot is on Ellis Street in Newton just south of Route 9, or walk, bike, or “cab” it from the Eliot T-stop on the Green Line D-Line. —Neil Horsky

ASIAN GLOW
In many ways, Asian Glow has been a truly selfish endeavor. I wanted to meet more people like myself and see them perform. So I did it--Asian Glow, a performance series for the Asian diaspora in Boston. The mission is to be seen as an individual, perform as the majority—without explanation or apology. Asian Glow was born out of my own experience as a songwriter in Boston. When I first started out in the open mic scene, I was one of two Asian artists. I made my way through the Boston Music Scene often being the only POC on the entire bill. I would get feedback like, “I wasn’t expecting you to sound that way,” or “Have you ever thought about performing Korean music?” I wanted assimilation, but clearly, I did not fit in. Then my friend Anna Rae asked me to perform with her and two other Korean-American artists WHEN: for the “All Together Now” perfor8/20 7pm mance series (alltogetherbos.com). That night sharing that stage allowed (under 18 w me to be unapologetically me. guardian) I wanted to create that same experience for other artists, and in this WHERE: process I’ve connected with many ONCE Ballroom organizations and show producers in Somerville with the same goals as mine! This upcoming Asian Glow includes LuDow, co-creator of Bridgeside Entertainment HOW MUCH: with Aaron King; Anjan Biswas, host of $10 (+ $2.83 fee Cityside Comedy; and The Genki Spark are a staple for community events and festivals! We’re Asian, we’re hosts and community organizers, we’re raging feminists, and I can’t wait for you to see our...GLOW! Tix available at asianglowboston.com. @asianglowboston —Jane Park
NOTES FROM THE CREW:
Two fish are swimming in the ocean; the first turns to his friend and asks, “How’s the water?” The friend responds with a perplexed look and says, “What the hell is water?” I with karine Vann didn’t write that joke, but I like what it’s getting at. The things we’re surrounded by can sometimes be the least visible. As of today, seven giant media conglomerates own over half of all remaining newspapers in the country. Three corporations are responsible for 90% of the chicken we eat. Corporate consolidation of resources governs—to our detriment—nearly every aspect of our American lives. Yet like the poor fish who knows not what buoys him, it is difficult for many Americans to identify and call it out. If you’re reading this newspaper, it likely means you’re one of the few fish that not only knows what water is, but has caught on to the fact it’s polluted as shit because oh yeah, 10 pharmaceutical companies dominating the industry leaked Viagra into the water and now all the fish have boners. In other words, you want more than what giant, faceless industry can provide, i.e. a society geared around diversity and local ownership. Reclaiming our institutions starts with newspapers like these. That’s why I joined the team. I’m Kari, a new Compass volunteer, making sure articles get written and deadlines get met. So write to us, write for us, write with us—you can reach me at compassproduction@brain-arts.org. Together we can expose the volatile waters we’ve all been swimming in for far too long! —Kari Vann THIS PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED IN PART BY A GRANT FROM THE BOSTON CULTURAL COUNCIL, A LOCAL AGENCY WHICH IS FUNDED BY THE MASSACHUSETTS CULTURAL COUNCIL, AS ADMINSTRATED BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF ARTS + CULTURE

Triton As a felony-grade forlorn wave, I set tiny pebbles afloat. This causes them to panic, hiding themselves in the mangroves. The candle’s final eulogy isn’t the literary masterpiece it set out to be. Instead, it is posed in the simplest Yiddish. As I cross back over my foot prints, I leave behind my skin, like a naked, gleaming snake, headed alone, into the river.
Have you ever been 'hacked'? Was your account taken over by a malicious app, spambot, or some nefarious asshole? This month, we’re talking about simple security practices. Depending on the platform you're using, there are various precautions you can and should take. If you’re on an obscure forum with 15 members, for example, you’re probably not at a high risk of getting hacked. But your Runescape account with millions in Gold? That'll make you a target. A two-factor Authentication (2FA) is one way to significantly beef up your security. Think of it like a second password that's tied to your phone. For example, when Google freaks out about you logging in from a VPN and refuses to let you into your account until you enter a password from a text sent to your phone: that's a form of 2FA. Google provides their own 2FA Called 'Google 2-Step Verification'. There are also other non-Google options, such as Authy and AndOTP on Android. Not everything uses 2FA though, and it's not a perfect stopgap for security. The best way to enhance your security is to make your passwords long and never reuse them. Stringing together simple words is the 'CorrectHorseBatteryStaple' method (from XKCD.com) and provides an easy way to accomplish this. As for password reuse, when digital attackers go after one website, they often try the passwords they find there on the email accounts they find- then you've lost your email. It's important to keep your shit secure, so make sure you've got a good lock on it; and for god's sake, don't use 'Password1234'.

2006 was a hard year for Creed singer Scott Stapp. For the man who asked us if we could take him higher, he couldn’t get any lower. Two years removed from Creed breaking up, a sex video of him being released with Kid Rock and four other women, and battling a nasty drug addiction, it was at this time Scott found himself in Miami, fearing that his wife was cheating on him with his best friend, deciding to attempt suicide by jumping from his balcony at his hotel. Fortunately, it was also at this time, rapper, producer, actor, T.I. was stepping out on to his balcony to smoke a joint with a friend when he discovered Stapp. “I just heard moaning and groaning from up on top of the roof area. I'm looking at Phil and I'm like, 'Are you hungry?' I thought it was his stomach because Phil was always hungry. And he was like, 'Man, that ain't me.' And we continue to smoke, and then [moaning sound]. So I step out and look down and don't see nothing. And then I look up and - 'Oh shit, it's a white man up there!' That's what really shocked me. Blood shows up real good on a white man." Scott had jumped from the 14th floor and landed near the 6th floor. T.I. managed to convince Scott to not jump further by offering a hit of his joint if he was able to call someone to help get him down. When Stapp recalls the event he says the two bonded over their love of Alabama football "He came out, and as I'm laying on the ledge, blood fell to his feet and he looked up and he had an Alabama hat on. I said, 'Roll tide,' and then he looked at me and put two and two together and really saved my life." That and maybe T.I. just told him to live his life.
the demands of the afternoon with the evening peering over its shoulder that you stir your idle ass and prepare for the rituals of the sun to call yourself to twilight’s intercessionary to the mists and follies of the night and the dark shelters of sleep’s passage set the carpet alight with your phosphorescence the change is more interesting than the naming, the darkness more fertile than the light --Rob Chalfen
