NEWS & OPINION EDITOR’S NOTE

BY JIM MOREKIS

jim@connectsavannah.com

NIEMA ROSS’ final post on Facebook was a photo of an Albuterol inhaler, with a simple caption whose desperation only became apparent a day later: “ISO: do you have a box of these laying around unused? LET ME TAKE THEM OFF YOUR HANDS PLEASE” I don’t know if Niema ever got an inhaler, but if she did it was too late. Niema Ross passed away over the weekend, leaving behind three children and hundreds of stunned friends and family in Savannah. Niema was not only one of Savannah’s most widely beloved and universally admired community members, her passing is also tragically emblematic of our nation’s long-running inability to adequately pro-

Indeed, that was a near-universal sentiment among all those who mourned her death: What a crime to live in a country of such great prosperity and opportunity, yet a country where a working single mother cannot afford basic health care such as a simple inhaler for asthma. I have no idea if Stacey Abrams has all the answers, but I do know — we all know — the current system isn’t working as it should. The centerpiece of Abrams’ plan is a simple one: Expand Medicaid within the current bounds of the Affordable Care Act. Georgia is one of many states which have so far opted not to expand Medicaid, its Republican leadership mostly citing reasons of fiscal conservatism and the supposed spectre of single-payer healthcare. However, as Abrams points out: “Mike Pence successfully expanded Medicaid when he was Governor of Indiana.” Supporters say expanding Medicaid wouldn’t only result in better healthcare

While Abrams has been characterized by political opponents as serving a narrow slice of Georgia’s citizens, her apparently sincere devotion to the cause of improving rural health care belies that notion. Indeed, a core part of her health care plan involves leveraging the Medicaid expansion to boost health care investment and outcomes far outside her metro Atlanta base, in rural areas which — to put it bluntly — are unlikely to vote for her, or for any Democrat. “This problem is largely in Republican districts,” she says flatly. “Rural hospitals are shutting down or dramatically cutting back in capability.” The maternal mortality rate in Georgia, Abrams says, “is exacerbated by lack of health care.” She says 79 Georgia counties have no resident practicing OB-GYN, and 54 counties have no pediatrician at all. That’s basically the level of a developing country (my description, not Abrams’).

Georgia currently has the nation’s third-highest rate of uninsured citizens. It’s not just a number – these are real people we’re talking about, real people like Niema Ross. vide healthcare in a fair, equitable, and just manner. Her tragedy is both a deeply personal one, and a national tragedy of limited access to health care that brings disgrace and shame to the country. Personally, my interactions with Niema were mostly confined to sharing the front row with her at many a Cusses concert at the Jinx. Posting up at the foot of Angel Bond’s vocal monitor, Niema knew every word of every Cusses song and sang along. Her contagious charisma and warm personality could galvanize an entire crowd in a single moment, and often did. I’m sure many of you who knew her much better than I did have many more similar stories to tell. A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to briefly speak to Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams about the roll-out of her health care plan. Candidly, I never found a good moment to go with that story. Until now, writing about my interview with Abrams felt more like writing a campaign ad than a work of journalism, so I begged off. Until now. Niema Ross’ passing has made crystal clear the desperate need for an overhaul of how health care is delivered in Georgia.

outcomes, but that it might add as much as $8 million a day into the state economy. “Expanding Medicaid would result in higher reimbursement rates for doctors,” Abrams explains. “That’s one reason we’re losing so many doctors right now. Expanding Medicaid access would increase rates across the board.” Abrams also says to accommodate the necessary field of practitioners, “we also have to increase grad school medical slots.” Georgia currently has the nation’s thirdhighest rate of uninsured citizens. It’s not just a number – these are real people we’re talking about, real people like Niema Ross. Expanding access isn’t enough when rates skyrocket. So Abrams also says she supports using what’s called a 1332 State Innovation Waiver, currently allowed by the ACA, to create a Georgia Premium Stability Program. In Abrams’ words, this would “build on the ACA and keep more money in the pockets of Georgians by reducing vulnerability to loss of health insurance due to a rise in premiums.” She says she will also push for an enhanced Earned Income Credit for working families. “Closing the gap in income closes the gap in outcomes,” she says.

At the time I talked to Abrams, her opponent Brian Kemp’s health care plan was literally only seven words: “improve access to healthcare” and “lower healthcare costs.” Probably in response to Abrams’ attacks and the detailed specificity of her own plan, Kemp has since expanded his health care plan on the website. And behold, it looks a lot like Abrams’ plan at first glance: He talks about improving rural healthcare and stabilizing premiums. But Kemp still opposes expanding Medicaid, saying “Stacey Abrams’ extreme agenda builds upon the systemic failures of Obamacare by moving us towards a government run, single payer healthcare system that will cost billions, triple state income taxes, worsen the doctor shortage, dramatically reduce access to quality care, and ultimately bankrupt our state.” I’m not here to tell people how to vote. That’s a personal decision. I have no doubt that both Abrams and Kemp are sincere in wanting better health care outcomes for Georgia’s citizens. It just seems objectively true that we have been trying it Kemp’s way for quite awhile and it’s not working out so well — not for people like Niema Ross, and maybe not for you either. CS

THE Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and Half Marathon returns this weekend with a few enhancements, culminating in a free concert in Forsyth Park Saturday afternoon from Michael Franti. Marketed as “The Beautiful Marathon,” Savannah is the smallest market for Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. Still, with roughly 15,000 runners, from all 50 states, participating, the local event is no small thing, and is a major boon for the local hospitality

industry. The Savannah event has a few key selling points for Marathon runners in addition to the scenic beauty. The Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon is the last qualifier race for the Boston Marathon, and its combination of comparatively flat terrain and generally pleasant weather makes it easier to log a really good time. That said, organizers say about one in five participants has never run a marathon before. This year, ownership of the event has been taken over by Ironman. “We’re excited to be there as a team and

bring fun to the run,” says Ironman’s Keats McGonigal. In bid to make the event even more “runner-focused,” McGonigal’s Ironman team broke down the event into three segments: The running experience, the music, and community. “For the runners, we’re bringing more activiation on the course. We’ve increased the number of bands,” explains McGonigal. “The other piece that’s new is with the mile markers. In the past that’s been a static sign. But this year we’re actually setting up a mile marker structure that shows the distances and also has speakers for music.” McGonigal says there will be a new start/finish arrangement of the corrals, “that will help in terms of pacing. Runners

will have more flexibility and freedom to run with people who are at their own pace, without needing to mix with people going either too fast or too slow.” McGonigal explains the ongoing, and growing appeal of marathons and halfmarathons to the general public. “You’ll always have that very small, elite group” of hardcore marathoners, he says. “But the majority are what you might call average participants. The draw for them is to have the motivation to live a healthy lifestyle. They put time and effort into training for these event, whether the half or the full marathon.” This year, McGonigal says the age range of participants in the half-marathon range from 12 to 81 years old. “Ultimately, everyone has their own motivation as to why

NEWS & OPINION ENVIRONMENT

Georgia Conservancy urges a YES vote on Amendment One BY CHARLES H. MCMILLAN THE Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Amendment is on the ballot on November 6 as Amendment One. This amendment is an opportunity Georgians have had to dedicate funding for conservation, and it will be done without a tax increase. This amendment will allow a portion of the existing sales tax we already pay on outdoor sporting goods to be dedicated to the protection of the state’s land, water and wildlife. The amendment creates no new taxes or fees. If the amendment passes, over $20 million would be dedicated every year for the next ten years. This money will protect wild places for generations. This money will keep Georgia’s air and water clean and healthy. This funding cannot be used for any other purpose and will be subject to strict accountability provisions and public review. Only projects consistent with the state’s established goals for conservation will be approved to receive funding. When you buy a kayak or a soccer ball, you know that you pay a sales tax on that purchase. Amendment One will designate those taxes you have already paid to be used towards creating and protecting the lands and waterways where you use that kayak and soccer ball. If passed, this amendment will: • Protect lands critical to clean drinking water and the quality of Georgia’s lakes,

rivers, and streams • Expand and improve local and state parks and trails • Maintain and improve access to wildlife management areas and create new opportunities for hunting and fishing • Support Georgia’s $27 billion outdoor recreation industry The Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Amendment is supported by a broad coalition of leading conservation organizations including The Conservation Fund, Georgia Conservancy, Georgia Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, Park Pride, and The Trust for Public Land. Locally, we are working to build support with a diverse group of stakeholders including the Savannah Tree Foundation, East Coast Greenway Alliance, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Longleaf

The Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Amendment is supported by a broad coalition of leading conservation organizations

Alliance and the Savannah and Altamaha Riverkeepers. It is important to note that by constitutionally dedicating funds through a voter referendum, this money will be protected from any other use – in a manner similar to the Georgia Lottery. That is why the coalition advocating for the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Amendment went the extra step to ask for a constitutional amendment, rather than a set-aside or earmark in the annual state budget. Georgia currently relies upon an annual appropriations process to fund our conservation needs, which has traditionally been priority for elected leaders, but this yearto-year process makes long-term planning difficult. A dedicated funding source will

provide a reliable, predictable amount of annual funding that will not only help that planning process but will also better position Georgia to attract additional federal, philanthropic, and private investment. We need your help to pass this historic Amendment. This is a once in a generation opportunity. Please vote yes on Amendment One! For more information, you can go to the website: www.GeorgiaOutdoorStewardship.orgor email gaoutdoor2018@gmail. com or cmcmillan@gaconservancy.org for Savannah related concerns or questions. CS Charles H. McMillan is the Coastal Director of the Georgia Conservancy and is based in Savannah.

NEWS & OPINION AN URBANIST VIEW

Reflections on Hurricane Michael BY JASON COMBS I HAD planned to drive to my hometown, Panama City, for my father’s birthday on October 11. A few days before the intended trip, I was on the phone with my mom, and we discussed the tropical depression that had formed in the Caribbean, that would probably move north through the Gulf of Mexico and impact the Florida Panhandle. “Don’t worry,” I said. “I’ve driven through worse. I’ll pull over if it gets too bad.” In just a day, plans changed. Hurricane Michael was coming, and strengthening as it did. I would not be driving home. I would instead be watching online updates

and texting incessantly with friends and family. Dad was going to stay in the house, the one that I grew up in, the one on a small bayou on St. Andrews Bay. In his defense, it was a Category 3 when he made this

decision. My mom and my sister’s family retreated inland, to the complex of medical offices where my father worked, where his group of orthopedic surgeons have their own X-ray facility with lead-lined walls, which

could be retreated into if things got really bad. We had previously followed this strategy when I was a child, though then my father had accompanied us. CONTINUES ON P. 16

The eye made landfall in the early afternoon of October 10. I lost contact with my family shortly after that. We all use Verizon, and their service would be knocked out for over a week. I spent several tense hours not knowing what was going on, watching the intensity of the damn-near category 5 hurricane on the news. Nobody had predicted that it would land with so much strength. Finally, in the evening, I got a call from my sister, Audrey, from a friend’s AT&T cell phone, but it was still choppy and garbled. The medical complex had survived, but she thought that if the storm had moved through any slower the roof wouldn’t have clung on. All the trees around the complex were down. “There are trees out here I don’t recognize. I don’t know where they came from.” She was going to attempt to drive into our neighborhood, The Cove, and check on dad. This would prove impossible, as the Cove has (had) a dense canopy of trees, which were now largely lying across houses and roads, bringing power lines down with them. Audrey managed to drive in as far as was possible, with a few companions, allowed this far by the police only because she works for the City. They then left the SUV and hiked in, over 1.5 miles, over trees,

branches, debris, and power lines. They finally made it to our little cul-de-sac that juts into the bay. My dad was ok, though perhaps a little shell-shocked. The same went for Simon, his German shepherd. Two trees were down on the house, but the metal roof installed a couple of decades ago stood up to them. Two more were down on the covered carport. Many more trees were down in the yard, including the big oak out front that everyone loved. Our house had taken much less damage than most of our neighbors, many of them missing portions of their roof, or trees protruding through them. My dad couldn’t make the hike out, so my sister had to find an operable boat the next day, my dad’s birthday, and negotiate all the floating debris to get to the back of the house. She got Sam out, and Simon too. The next day they all drove up to Columbus. It was obvious that recovery in Panama City was going to be a long time coming.

The Drive to Panama City

I managed to make my delayed trip to PC on the 16th. My sister and her husband had returned, since she works for the City, but they left their two-year-old daughter (Annabelle - her birthday had been on the 12th) with my parents in Columbus, since

their house was still lacking both water and power. The bed of my truck was full of pallets of bottled water, canned food, gas tanks, and a generator. I started seeing downed trees as soon as I’d made it a few miles west of Tallahassee on State Road 20. Thirty miles farther, I passed through Bristol and then Blountstown, the sibling settlements that bracket opposite banks of the Apalachicola River in different time zones. The damage was now immense, and I was still more than 50 miles from home. Tents filled the courthouse parking lots and parks of these little towns. Mobile command units and service vehicles emblazoned with logos from Central and South Florida jurisdictions were parked all around. Bedraggled citizens stood around looking dazed. From Blountstown I turned south onto SR 71. My plan was to head west again from Wewahitchka (Wewa, for short) and enter Panama City using SR 21, thus entirely avoiding the Highway 231 from Interstate 10, which I’d heard could take hours due to convoys of utility trucks entering the area. On SR 71, I first saw destruction on a truly epic scale. There were vast swaths of pine forest where it looked like 75% of the trees were snapped about 15 to 20 feet up their trunks, all laying down in the same direction. This must have been right where the eye passed over, because things actually improved further south in Wewa. The beautiful old live oaks of Lake Alice Park seemed to be mostly intact. Callaway, the town on the east side of Panama City, truly looked like a war zone. It was reminiscent of images of a place that had been heavily shelled, like Grozny. Not a single structure was undamaged, and many were completely destroyed. I soon moved into The Cove. Structures seemed to have fared better, but so so many big gorgeous trees were down. Those blocking roads had already been dismembered and put into huge piles to allow passage.

The trees that made The Cove the undisputed “most beautiful” neighborhood in Bay County – gone. Despite an urge to see it for myself, I did not even try to visit Mexico Beach, or more accurately the stretch of Gulf-front formerly known as Mexico Beach. I doubt it would have even been possible. The small, largely working-class beach town was basically wiped from the map – a complete loss. There were however, some notable exceptions. Anyone who watched any news coverage probably saw the image of a newly constructed beach house standing by itself on its piers, seemingly undamaged, while surrounded by a quagmire of strewn debris composed of less sturdy structures. This is the Sand Palace of Mexico Beach (look it up – it has its own Facebook page). The owners of the house have done many interviews, but they remain coy about its cost. The architect however, has commented that construction to that standard is double the cost per square foot of simply building to code. So, why is this an “Urbanist View” column? Because Mexico Beach and Panama City could have been Tybee Island and Savannah. That was in the back of my mind the entire time I was there. The Cove is so similar to some of Savannah’s waterfront neighborhoods that one might have trouble distinguishing the two from Google Maps street views, at least before the hurricane. If Chatham County’s recent brushes with disaster brought by hurricanes Irma and Matthew were not enough, then images from the aftermath of Hurricane Michael should be. Unfortunately, with everything else going on in the country, and the fact that Panama City is not Houston or New Orleans, these images have left the mainstream media all too soon. Look them up. Hurricanes are getting worse. We need to think hard about what we can do to prepare Savannah, Tybee, and the rest of Chatham County for its own “big one.” CS

#SAVFF INTERVIEW

Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali star in Peter Farrelly’s ‘Green Book.’

Peter Farrelly brings powerful story, unlikely friendship to the big screen The beloved comedy director talks about his new film The Green Book and the amazing true story behind it

BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com CONNECT SAVANNAH | OCT 31-NOV 6, 2018

PETER FARRELLY has had a career that many would envy, and likely have envied, over the last several decades. Along with his brother Bobby, he’s responsible for classic comedies like There’s Something About Mary, Me, Myself & Irene, Dumb and Dumber, and Shallow Hal - among numerous others. The brothers’ brand of comedy is so ingrained in our culture that the idea of either one stepping outside of that box might feel a bit like culture shock. Peter has done just that, however, with Green Book - a movie that tells the fasci20 nating story of Sopranos actor Tony Lip

Vallelonga and jazz musician Don Shirley, who forged a special friendship after the former was hired to be the latter’s chauffeur and bouncer during a tour of the South in the 60s. It’s a film that deals with the issues of race that were plaguing the country at the time, and examines how the two became friends despite the tension that existed in the region. The title refers to a book from that era known as the Negro Motorist Green Book, which is a travel guidebook that helped African-Americans navigate the region amid segregation and Jim Crow laws. Farrelly’s film stars Viggo Mortensen as Lip and Mahershala Ali as Shirley, and it’s become one of the most buzzed about movies this year. It’s screening at the

SCAD Savannah Film Festival, and will be followed by a Q&A with writers Nick Vallelonga and Brian Hayes Currie. Farrelly, the film’s director, talked with us about its origins, the timeliness of such a unique story, and how he ended up working with the likes of Ali and Mortensen. How did you get involved in this? Were you aware of the story? Peter: No! I was just kind of lucky. I ran into Brian Hayes Currie – I wrote it with him and Nick Vallelonga – about three years ago. He’s an actor who’s been in a few of my movies in small parts. He told me he was writing a screenplay, and he explained it. [He said it was about] a black concert

pianist in 1962 who lived about Carnegie Hall, and his record company was sending him on a tour of the deep South. He was afraid to go, so he hired this bouncer - an Italian guy who was racist himself – to drive him. I said, “You’re fucking kidding me! That’s a home run.” It’s a great story. So I kept thinking about it for a month or two, and finally I called him back and said, “Hey, how’s that script coming?” He said, “What script?” I said, “The fucking concert pianist and the bouncer!” He goes, “Oh, we haven’t even begun that.” I asked if I could write it with him because I loved the story, so we all got together and did it.

Peter Farrelly’s ‘Green Book’ screens Sat., Nov. 3 at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival.

I never know that kind of thing. Usually I don’t think of people while I’m writing. We write the script as best we can, and then we say, “Who is the best guy for this?” Viggo doesn’t work a lot. He’s very picky. He does a movie when he wants to do a movie – he’s not in, like, three movies a year like most actors. So it was kind of a long shot. Everybody discouraged us and said, “Don’t go to him. You’re going to waste your time, he’s never going to do it.” But I just saw him in it. I wrote him a long letter and said, “Listen, this is different for me. It’s a departure. Please read it.” He did and really liked it, but even then he was reluctant because it was a different role for him. But with a little arm twisting we finally got him to commit, and then once we had Viggo we had the pick of the litter because anyone wants to work with him. So we said, “Who do we want? How about that guy Mahershala Ali? He was good in Moonlight.” Boom. Wow. Well, it’s an amazing cast. The thing that strikes me most is the fact that something like The Green Book even existed. Given the climate we’re living in, we’re not that far off from that level of segregation and discrimination with certain groups of people. So the movie seems sort of timely, in some way. Yeah. We started writing this before the shit storm happened two years ago, but it was still bad before that. One of the big things that happened was that they put cameras on cops and we found out that there are some bad cops. By the way, not all cops. Most cops are great. But there are some bad ones, and that opened up people’s

eyes. I think black people knew that all along, but white people were suddenly confronted with a reality that they didn’t want to admit existed. So there was a lot of that at the time, but The Green Book we stumbled on in the telling of it. Luckily, Nick Vallelonga – who we wrote this with – audiotaped his father for an hour and a half telling the entire story in detail. We used to listen to it over and over with all these things that happened, and along the way he’d keep mentioning, “The record company gave us the book where black people could stay.” I let that slide by a couple of times but then I was like, “What the hell is he saying here?” Then we googled it and found out about the Negro Motorist Green Book – which I was not aware of. Not many people knew about it.

Was there a specific part of this story that moved you or affected you? Does anything stand out in particular? The thing that I loved about it the most is that they were complete opposites. One guy has three doctorates and is a concert pianist. The other guy has a sixth grade education but didn’t really pay much attention after third grade. And he was racist. And yet, they became lifelong friends. I just loved that they would go through this and end up friends, and I wanted to study how that happened. That’s what I really liked about this – the upside. My feeling is, anybody can change. They both changed. They both had to change to grow towards each other. This isn’t a one guy saved the other guy story. This is, each guy saved the other guy. Tony Lip saved Don Shirley from some earthly perils and got him out of some pickles, but Dr. Shirley saved Lip’s soul. CS The Green Book screens Sat., Nov. 3 at 7 P.M. at Trustees Theater

Fantastic foxes to postapocalyptic dogs:

Tristan Oliver

Stop-motion cinematographer appears at Isle of Dogs screening BY JIM MOREKIS

CONNECT SAVANNAH | OCT 31-NOV 6, 2018

jim@connectsavannah.com

ONE OF the most sought-after names in stop-motion filmmaking, Tristan Oliver, appears at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival with one of his best-known projects, the Wes Anderson-directed Isle of Dogs. The Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit cinematographer worked with Anderson on a another — and very popular — stop-motion film, Fantastic Mr. Fox. Oliver has played a key role in mainstreaming the appeal of stop-motion, or stop-frame, filmmaking – a form of animation using figures set by hand for each frame. The realistic textures provide a warmth and appeal much greater than typical CGI – at a much lower cost as well. Isle of Dogs screens at the Festival, along with a standing exhibit at the SCAD Museum of Art. We spoke to Tristan Oliver, who will give a Q&A after Thursday’s screening. Everyone can see the similarities between Isle of Dogs and Fantastic Mr. Fox, but what do you think are the key differences in terms of cinematography?

Fabulous Mr. Fox had more of a confined 22 environment. It was very much set in

England, with colors reflecting winter and autumn. It was a dry palette. There was a warm glow that was consistent with the movie’s general cozy, folksy vibe. Isle of Dogs is more like a Bond movie! (laughs) There’s a big city environment as well as the island of trash, which is a sort of a trackless, post-apocalyptic wasteland for dogs. It’s all smacked out, overcast, a void made of decrepitude. Whereas making the city scenes was more like lighting individual jewel boxes. Tristan Oliver at work on Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs.

Kevin Gillese and Luke Davis in That Was Awesome!

That Was Awesome! brings big laughs and starts a vital conversation

Writer Kevin Gillese and star Amber Nash talk their new short film and the need for representation for people with disabilities BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

KEVIN GILLESE is an actor and writer who’s known for being the artistic director of Dad’s Garage, a long-running theater based in Atlanta. When he was approached by the Spotlight Theatre - an acting program for adults with special needs – about doing a project together, he jumped at the opportunity to be involved. “My younger brother is just a year younger than me and he’s special needs,” Gillese tells Connect. “That gave me a lot of exposure to that community and some of the realities that people might not think about if they don’t have that kind of personal connection.” The resulting short film – called That Was Awesome! - is set for a screening at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival on November 3, and tells the story of a special needs floor hockey team preparing for the game of their life against some ignorant and often mean-spirited competitors. The cast includes many Spotlight actors, all of whom have disabilities. Another notable cast member is Amber

Nash, who is perhaps best known for her role on the hit animated series Archer. Working on That Was Awesome! was a chance for Nash and Gillese, who are married, to team up creatively – something they try to do any chance they get. “We basically always try to work on projects together, because show business can be such a crazy rollercoaster ride. When you work together, it means you get to spend more time together,” Gillese says of working alongside his wife. “There was no doubt in my mind, when I was writing this, that Amber would be the coach.” Aside from getting to work with her husband, Nash says that the project was something she was passionate about being involved in from the get go – as was her team, which included Gillese and director Arlen Konopaki. “As a team, we always make sure that whatever project we move forward on we’re all excited about. For this one, I thought it was so different,” she says. “You don’t hear this story, and you don’t see actors like the guys that are in this film ever represented. It also doesn’t shy away from the comedy and doesn’t have a happy ending in its own way. It was just so

different and fun.” For Nash, one major takeaway from the project was the fact that there isn’t much representation in the arts, whether it be theater, film, or otherwise, for people with disabilities. “We’re living in a time right now that’s so about equal representation and treating everyone with respect, and I don’t think that people with disabilities are being included in that conversation well enough yet,” she says. “That’s a whole other part of the conversation that we still need to work on. There’ve been times throughout entertainment history where there’ll be an actor with a disability who plays a role, and people say, ‘Oh, that’s awesome’ and then it fades away. I think there needs to be more quantity so that it becomes the norm.” That Was Awesome! is a comedy that has a lot of heart, and it also shines a light on some characters that are seen primarily as bullies towards the special needs team. That aspect of the movie drew somewhat from Gillese’s own experiences with his brother. “It’s funny because some of the feedback we’ve gotten has been, ‘Some of these

characters are one dimensional. They’re one note. That’s not realistic,’” he says of the bullies in the film. “I said, ‘You have no idea how disrespectful people are.’ It is somewhat drawing from real life experience. I feel like people lack empathy and understanding [with special needs individuals] that they might otherwise demonstrate. You don’t have to be an evil person. You can be kind in other ways and still be disrespectful to other groups of people.” Perhaps the biggest statement the film makes, however, isn’t about the bullies – it deals with the people who care for those with special needs, and the importance of letting people with disabilities make their own decisions. “When we think of people that are treating folks with special needs in a negative way, we always think of these bullies,” Gillese says. “But, the people who say, ‘Well, all special needs people are like this or that’ – that can be as damaging. I know it’s not intentional, but just like any group of people there’s a wide variety of personalities. So when you say, ‘All special needs people are like this,’ you’re reducing them to a stereotype.” The experience of doing an on-screen project was something unique and different for both Gillese and Nash, who are both veterans of theater. Nash has also spent the better part of the last decade working on Archer, which finds her recording her dialogue as the character of Pam separately from her cast mates. “We’re all by ourselves [on Archer], so I’m just there with the director, a couple of the producers, and sometimes Lucky Yates – who’s also part of Dad’s Garage and plays Krieger on our show.” Nash explains. “[That Was Awesome!] feels a little bit like it’s our clubhouse. We’re all in it together, we’re all producing it together. It’s really exciting because it’s new to us. I love being on set. I haven’t done a lot of on-camera work, so that’s another reason why these projects are really important to us. It’s kind of showing people that I can do that as well as doing stage work and voice work.” If there’s one thing Gillese hopes people will take away from seeing his film, it’s the need to evaluate how we treat people with disabilities – whether we’re being mean spirited or not. “The message of the film is that sometimes, in our efforts to protect and care for our special needs relatives and friends, we can actually end up depriving them of the opportunity to live a full life,” he says. “Which is to say, people deserve to make mistakes. Nobody gets a full life inside of a bubble.” CS That Was Awesome! Screens Sat., Nov. 3 at 4:30 p.m. at SCAD Museum of Art

Judge R.W. Buzzard got a free pass on doing his cardio on Oct. 16 after two inmates appearing in his courtroom at the Lewis County Courthouse in Chehalis, Washington, made a break for it. The Daily Chronicle reported that Tanner D. Jacobson, 22, of Onalaska, and Kodey L. Howard, 28, of Winlock, were being escorted out of the courtroom by a deputy when they turned and ran out the public door of the chamber. Judge Buzzard stripped off his black robe and set off in hot pursuit, grabbing Howard as he followed Jacobson down the steps. Jacobson was caught a few blocks away. Both inmates were charged with felony second-degree escape.

Police officers in Clearwater, Florida, shared their good fortune on Oct. 16 after they recovered a stolen van filled with Krispy Kreme doughnuts, reported the Tampa Bay Times. The van was stolen almost 200 miles north of Clearwater, in Lake City, where the store manager donated the sweet cargo to the officers, who shared their treats with local homeless people. Evidently the resulting sugar coma impaired the officers’ ability to hunt down criminals, as the doughnut thief is still on the run.

William Friedman, 68, of Franklin Township, New Jersey, told police officers when he was apprehended that his weird practice of dumping his grandson’s used diapers around town “almost became a game.” Friedman had been disposing of the soiled nappies along several roadways over the past year, until an officer spotted him at 3:15 a.m. on Oct. 21 making another deposit. Not only is the littering disgusting, but officials told the Associated Press that a motorcyclist crashed in June after running over a diaper Friedman had allegedly thrown out. He was charged with interference with transportation and faces up to $1,000 in fines. CS

MUSIC SPOTLIGHT

The Grascals’ Kristin Scott Benson brings her love of the banjo to Randy’s BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

SINCE 2004, The Grascals have been a leading light in the bluegrass genre releasing a series of acclaimed albums and winning over fans in high places. The band, which consists of some serious Nashville players, has won the adoration of people like Dolly Parton, Dierks Bentley, and Vince Gil - all of whom have guested on the group’s albums. Banjo player Kristin Scott Benson is a relative newcomer, having joined the band in 2008. She’s an unbelievably skilled and accomplished player, having recently won the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass. It’s an honor that awarded her a $50,000 cash prize as well as sculpture and, of course, the esteemed title. The prize was perhaps some newlyadded icing on an already well-iced cake for Benson - who’s made a career for herself playing with the Grascals and in other groups around Nashville. The South Carolina native says that the turning point for the group - who plays Randy Woods’ Pickin’ Parlor in Bloomingdale on November 3 - can be traced back to Dolly Parton’s endorsement and involvement, which came prior to her joining.

getting a job with the Larry Stephenson band in my sophomore year of college. We were playing at least 80 or 90 shows a year at that point, so that’s what springboarded me towards maybe thinking I could do this for more than a hobby.” Benson says that her love of bluegrass music is trumped only by her love of the banjo, which is an instrument that dates hundreds of years and can be traced to “I don’t think they necessarily knew African music. It’s a uniquely challenging how serious they would be about [the instrument that is not really comparable to band] until Dolly Parton heard them any other kind of stringed instrument, and recording and offered them the chance to that fact is something that fuels Benson’s be her bluegrass band,” she says. “Once love affair. that happened, it became a serious thing “It’s very percussive,” she says. “It’s for all of them. When that ended, they had responsible within a bluegrass context for some legs to get started on their own. I the momentum that you hear in a bluegrass think they would really attribute a lot of band. I love the banjo for all the things the magnificent start that they had to her.” it can do. It’s not just a bluegrass instruWhen she joined in 2008, Benson says ment. It tends to attract more analytical, she knew that their previous banjo player left brain personalities because it’s really was leaving. She’d become a fan of the band a series of puzzles. When you put the rolls and had a mutual friend who became the together, you take this leap of faith that if link between her and her soon-to-be Gras- you play this sequence of strings it’s going cals bandmates. to create something musical. Because “We had a mutual friend in Sonny when you play the notes isolated, they don’t Osborne, because [The Grascals’] Terry necessarily do that.

He and I knew each other tions of the bluegrass genre and twisted really well, so he put in a good word for them - infusing progressive songwriting me,” she explains. elements, tackling songs from outside Benson began playing music as a child, genres, and reimagining what a band can having grown up listening to bluegrass. do with bluegrass instrumentation. New She’d played mandolin as a kid, but got a Grass Revival, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, banjo at the age of 13 and started getting Nickel Creek, and the Punch Brothers all serious. come to mind, but the Grascals live in that “I joined my first band a couple of years world as well. later, it was a local gospel band,” she says. They’ve successfully expanded and “Then I decided to go to college in Nashevolved the genre, recording pop songs and ville just to be near the music. I ended up venturing outside the standard bluegrass

song structure. A shining example of this is their cover of The Monkees’ “Last Train to Clarksville,” which is so well done that you forget it was a 60s pop song. “I think one of the reasons that the guys have always been open to doing that goes back to the lineage of the Osborne Brothers. In the 60s and 70s, they were on the forefront of mainstream music. They were one of the very first bluegrass bands to have mass appeal, and they did all kind of experimental things,” she explains. “I think having the Osborne Brothers as such a powerful influence on this group has set the precedent for doing lots of different songs in lots of different genres.” After nearly 15 years, The Grascals show no signs of stopping. They’re still a force to be reckoned with, and their individual accomplishments are just as notable as the things they’ve accomplished together on a musical level. Winning the Steve Martin Prize was an accomplishment that Benson says was truly special for her. “It’s one of the few things that have happened that I’ve really had trouble finding words [to describe],” she says. “What can you really say when someone does something like that for you? There really aren’t words.” Benson says she “can’t believe” that the prize allows people to “get awarded to do something that you love this much.” “This music is such a passion for me,” she says. “I have to do it. I couldn’t stand not to do it. So, to get awarded for something that you’re involuntarily involved in because you love it so much is just beyond amazing.” CS The Grascals @Randy Woods’ Pickin’ Parlor Sat., Nov. 3, 8 P.M., $34

Carrie Christian is crowdsourcing to launch the Scribble Subscription Box, an art play subscription for kids.

Local artist Carrie Christian talks about her new art subscription service for kids, bringing it to hospitals, and providing a creative outlet for the imagination BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

IT’S not a new idea, but it’s a powerful one – kids love simple things. That applies to toys and crafts as well, and you’d be hard pressed to find a child who wouldn’t have a great time with nothing more than a cardboard box. That’s the idea that led Carrie Christian to create the Scribble Subscription Box. Christian, a local artist and art teacher who happens to be married to beloved Savannah music icon Keith Kozel, started the service alongside artist Kristie Duncan

with the idea that kids could start with a box and end up with something truly magical. “I very much believe in the creative process as being something that’s really helpful for kids, and parents too,” Christian tells us. “I think that especially in today’s world where kids are always on their phone or tablet or iPad, and it starts earlier and earlier, making art really helps kids with problem solving and creative solutions. I’m really passionate about kids having hands on creative play.” The subscription begins with a cardboard box that is filled with components

to build a house out of, and each month kids are sent new art projects that can all be added to the house. The idea is that the houses grow with each monthly shipment, and the subscription lasts for one year. “A year-and-a-half ago we opened up Henny Penny [Art Space & Café], and started making art kits. We just really loved making them, and I think we felt like we were putting out a quality product,” she says. “We were thoughtful about how we tried to design them, to where they weren’t over in just one second. Kids could keep on playing with them and adding to them.”

Right now, Christian is raising funds to get the subscription service off the ground – using Kickstarter as a platform and offering incentives for different levels of donation. Some of the incentives include framed prints and specially-designed versions of the boxes from Duncan. Backers can also get a special, one-hour party with the theme of their choice at Henny Penny – which includes an art project for guests, mini cupcakes, and lemonade. The highest-tier incentive available is one-of-a-kind artwork created by Duncan (and hand delivered, if you live in or near Savannah). Worth noting is the special “super early bird” subscription pricing that’s available only through the Kickstarter fundraiser, which gives you the full year-long subscription for a lower price. The Kickstarter fundraiser will go until November 8, and only receive funds if it meets its goal of $35,000. From the early stages of development, it was clear that the project could be used as not only a creative outlet for kids, but also act as a therapeutic tool and a refuge for kids who were either in the hospital or whose parent was in the hospital. “My husband Keith has a rare blood cancer, so we have to spend a lot of time in the hospital. As a mom I think, ‘This must be impossible for kids and families with kids.’ I can’t imagine, really, anything worse,” she says. “I’m not a doctor and I can’t really do all that much to help them, but the way that I felt like I could help would be to lift their spirits. To give them something to fill that time, so that you’re not always just waiting. The more you’re in a hospital, the more down you get. So anything that can even pull you up out of the bed or excited even a

little bit can really help.” One of the most significant details about the Scribble Box service is Christian and company’s partnership with the Children’s Hospital. The biggest goal with the service is to be able to donate one box to the hospital for every subscription sold. Those hospital boxes will be specially designed and given to a child in the subscriber’s name. “I’m really familiar with what a hospital room design is like,” Christian says. “So as soon as we started designing, we said, ‘Okay, we’re also going to be designing for a hospital room.’ We picked a box that was big enough to play in but not so big that you can’t fit it on the tray. We worked really closely with the hospital to make sure these were everything they wanted them to be, and they were!” “Anybody who’s had any experience with being in a hospital, they understand. They understand the smells, the sights, all of it. They get so clearly why this might be something that’s helpful,” she adds of the hospital box initiative. Christian has been able to do amazing thing with the project so far, including sending boxes to a family in Texas whose son is battling brain cancer. “He has to relearn everything,” she explains. “He has a little sister who

obviously wants to go visit her brother [in the hospital]. It’s tricky as a parent because you don’t want your kids to have horrible associations with the hospital, so having [the Scribble box] as something that’s fun and engaging will hopefully help her with hospital association so that she’s not feeling scared or anxious when she’s there. Instead, there’s a ray of light – something to look forward to along with seeing her brother. It just takes away some of the fear.” The idea of her boxes also serving as a therapeutic tool for kids is an important factor in what makes the project so special for Christian. “One time I asked my daughter, ‘How do you play?’ because I don’t really remember since I’m older,” she says. “And she says, ‘It’s stories in your mind.’ Which is true! So, these boxes are art play. They’re designed to basically be art that you make and also play with. It’s not just an art project where you make it and it’s done. Play is so valuable, and it’s honestly an escape. That’s what’s so nice about this, is that you can be anywhere, and you get a break from your surroundings.” CS Donate to the Scribble Box project at: http://kck.st/2E8iXhf

Waters

A favorite poetry event returns next week

BY RACHAEL FLORA

rachael@connectsavannah.com

JEROME MEADOWS presents next Thursday “Blank Page Poetry: Waters Avenue: Voices Along the Corridor.” Meadows created Blank Page Poetry in 2012 and has held several different iterations since. At a Blank Page Poetry event, poets stand behind a lighted white sheet and use movement and their shadows to perform their poem. The result is a unique experience that strips the poem down to its essence. At “Waters Avenue: Voices Along the Corridor,” nine poets will read poems

inspired by life along Waters Avenue. We spoke with Meadows ahead of the event. Tell me about Voices Along the Corridor. Meadows: It’s about the Waters Avenue corridor from north to south. That came about as a result of Tom Kohler introducing me to the minister at the church, St. Peter’s [Episcopal Church on the Landings]. St. Peter’s had been actively establishing relationships along the corridor. The comparison is that [the church] is in the wealthiest zip code, and we’re on the lowest economic scale on this end. So the idea was, what can they do to begin to

Why is it important to bring voices to the corridor? Meadows: There’s been a lot of talk and pseudo initiatives by the city to rejuvenate Waters Avenue from Gwinnett to Victory. And every time they do it, there’s a photo op and they talk big and things fizzle and die. Which they don’t seem to understand that each time they do that, their credibility in the community is less and less. After the false promises, it gets to be, “Well, this is another promise that isn’t going to happen. The residents get sick of hearing it and they become jaded. Every place else in this city gets attention except for this avenue. What I enjoy about this is when the church stepped up, they were for real. They were actually serious about it. Phone calls were returned! [St. Peter’s] helped me do what I’ve always been trying to do. There’s the thread of gentrification, of course, on Waters Avenue. One way I look at gentrification is, it’s a double-edged sword. There are good things and bad things about it. The bad things are when the new completely ignores the existing. That history, that legacy, those family stories are meaningless because development

is its own thing and it attracts people who could care less about what was here. What I like about this is we’re bringing the voices of what’s here to light. You can’t say, “Well, I didn’t know there was a community here.” Let’s face it, the average person coming in to buy a house and flip it isn’t listening. But if you put the story out there in a way that there’s a chance somebody could hear it, you could have heard it. That’s what “Voices Along the Corridor” is all about. How long did the planning process of this event take? Meadows: The gathering of poets started in September. We put out a call and we got responses and narrowed it down to the ones who we thought were best suited for the theme and had the best poetic voice. With Blank Page Poetry, it’s always a matter of making sure—or hoping—the poets will be able to make our schedule. We require that each poet has three one-onone rehearsals because, no matter, whether you’re a professional poet or you’ve done poetry slams or whatever, you’ve never turned yourself into a shadow. That’s all the audience sees. That’s why we have more than one rehearsal. One, they can get off book and learn their poem. Two, they can get used to the shadow and develop moments that are genuine for them and will help enhance the experience. How is the performance structured? Meadows: There are two dance segments. Brea Cali is the choreographer and stage manager, and she selected a dancer, so

understand what goes on along the corridor and how they might find ways of contributing to the needs as they may be. They had already been doing that to some extent with the parishioners in various schools, but they wanted to enhance that. So, since I’m established on this end and they’re established on that end, we began to communicate, and I suggested Blank Page Poetry, because they would be a way of bringing voices to the table.

there will be a single dancer with two segments built into what will probably be a 50 minute performance. It’s interesting because it organically fell that way, but it works in terms of being able to give the audience a pretty full immersion and leaving them wanting more. Between each segment, there’s what we call a sound bridge. The poet will do their performance, and then the paper goes dark. Rather than having silence until the next poet, we have sounds that carry like a bridge from one to the next. In this case, we’re sourcing the sound from Waters Avenue. The first one is a bird chirping and cars running, which was recorded from my bedroom [laughs]. Some of the sounds are just traffic—the idea is we’re starting on the north and traveling south. What do you hope people take away from “Voices Along the Corridor?” Meadows: I like to think of it on a number of different levels. One, they will have a new, if not deeper, appreciation for poetry. One of the first things I have to do with our poets—again, there are people who do poetry readings all the time or never, they tend to race through their poem. How quickly can we get through this? I tell them, the power of the poem lies in the words, so slow it down. As the poet, presumably you’re channeling something or you’ve got this inspirational thing to write these words, so empower them. Let people hear them. It takes people a while to get

comfortable with that. It also is a matter of, once you slow it down, the words become more aligned with your movements. Just standing there without motion, you’re spilling these words, but once you slow it down and you’re not reading, your body can begin to move with the words. Some poets say that after they do Blank Page Poetry, they’ll never write poetry the same way. It changed the way they think about writing the poem. We did a performance in Portsmouth [New Hampshire] and had a Q&A afterwards. One of the audience members stood up and said, “I really felt like I was looking at the soul of the poet.” I could have gone over and given the gentleman a hug. I had never thought about it in that specific way. There was nothing about clothing or facial appearance, just this entity in movement with these words. CS

MICHELLE Perez’s inspiration for her latest exhibition includes alternate realities, living in two beautiful countries—and butts. “Behind Us” is a collection of paintings that play with and dance around abstraction. Some of her works are done on recycled glass window, an interesting effect. We spoke with Perez last week. Tell me about the body of work for Behind Us. How did you get started creating it? Perez: The themes of my works vary, but they all possess my drive to change the way in which I was used to making art, which was in a more serious and academic way. I had several jobs in which I got to spend my days creating hand drawn illustrations and paintings, but it had been years since I was able to even think about making art purely for fun. I took a break from making art for work and decided to focus on myself instead. Despite my motivation I couldn’t paint. I was blocked for years. One day I jokingly told my boyfriend, Adam, that I should paint some butts and focus on the silly underwear to make them funny rather than sexual. “Do you remember being a kid and thinking butts were funny?” Butts are pretty funny! A wall covered in silly butt paintings is what I envisioned! The butts got me out of my artist block, or should I say, out of the hole. I made three small impasto butt paintings, which initiated my exploration into mark making, abstractions, and colors. It wasn’t a fetish or anything weird like that, I just wanted people to smile when they looked at them. I’m especially interested in the multiple and alternate realities concept. Can you tell me more about that? How do you translate that into the work? Perez: Often times I find myself in awe of how life is distributed, especially when I think about the various possibilities one could find in a parallel universe. Imagine a parallel universe in which my dog is walking me on its hind legs and I am on a leash, or where ghosts could be seen in plain sight and at daylight. Weird, but anything is

Does being second-generation Latina consciously influence your work? Perez: In a way it does, but not directly. I was lucky enough to spent a lot of my childhood years living in the Dominican Republic mostly through in the 90s. My grandparents lived in the country and land filled with all sorts of fruit and vegetable trees. I loved exploring nature and playing with dirt, capturing tadpoles at creeks, studying them, and releasing them. I grew up with just about every pet animal you can imagine. Two of them were ducks. They had duck for dinner. My dad had friends with livestock farms so I became a vegetarian at a young age. My empathy for and connection with animals often seeps through my work.

How long ago did you move to Savannah? Is the art scene here different from the one in Philadelphia? Perez: I moved to Savannah two years ago and I love it! The art scene seems to be growing in the city, definitely smaller but more intimate. People are also a lot friendlier here so you are bound to meet other likeminded artists and strike a more meaningful conversation. CS “Behind Us” is on display at the Sentient Bean through Jan. 2, 2019. The opening reception is Friday, Nov. 2 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Chef Bailey ventured all the way down to Savannah from New York after connecting with Morisano, the brain behind the revamp of the old Greyhound bus station that now holds The Grey. It goes without saying that The Grey and the team behind The Grey have helped put Savannah on the culinary map—finally! Chef Bailey showcases local ingredients and culture while bringing in inspiration from global influences. The Grey houses two seating areas, each with their own menu, yet both offering patrons one of those dining experiences that you don’t forget.

Morisano is also from New York, so the idea to bring Savannah a third concept from The Grey team originated as he sat at a lunch counter in his home state. “I went to a place in Washington Heights, a Dominican lunch spot, and I was like Savannah needs something like this,” he told me as we chatted at a high-top in his bustling new store front. After visiting the one-of-a-kind new location, I couldn’t agree more that Savannah had a hole that is now filled by The Grey Market. The concept of The Grey Market is simple—part store with high quality food related products and part restaurant with a food counter where you can perch and eat your lunch. Morisano explained the concept to me perfectly: “Everything about this is a little familiar to Mashama and me, sort of like the bustling lunch counter with people almost throwing food at you.” As for the bodega side, the thought was to aid those that work downtown and may need to stop into a store to grab one or two items. You can also forgo stopping in to grab one or two items you forgot to pick up for dinner, and grab an entire precooked dinner created by The Grey. The market offers 44 grab-and-go dinners (for an extremely

“All of the products that are in the market we use. When we were talking about dry pasta, there was only one dry pasta in his grandmother’s Italian kitchen. Everything is picked that way.” reasonable price might I add) that usually features a meat, two sides, and bread. “We tried it on the first night and it sold out immediately,” Morisano said, referencing the popularity of the family meals. Some of the items Morisano and Chef Bailey are considering featuring with the take-away meals include baked pasta, pork tenderloin, whole roasted fish, meatloaf, ribs, and fried chicken. “All of the products that are in the market we [the Grey’s team] use. When we were talking about dry pasta, there was only one dry pasta in [his] grandmother’s Italian kitchen. Everything is picked that way,” Morisano explained describing the process of selecting products available for sale in the market.

Modeled after a true New York food hall counter, the menu is divided into breakfast, after 11 a.m., 4 p.m. to close, and all day items. You will also find baked goods and fountain sodas. Also, the bagels are a big deal. “They are straight up New York bagels. Our baker is from New York, from the same borough of New York City I grew up in,” Morisano told me. I asked Morisano about why they chose New York style bagels over the rest. He said, “in a way we don’t have a choice, we are all New Yorkers and do not know any other kind of bagel.” Keeping true to The Grey’s northern roots, lox is offered alongside the bagels that are baked fresh daily. Chef Bailey’s version of lox is beet cured and served

alongside cream cheese, red onion, and watercress. Every single baked good, available in the store and both restaurants, is baked in-house on the top floor of the new marketplace. I was told by Morisano that their NYC, a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, is another menu item that is 100 percent authentic to the big city. A true NYC bacon egg and cheese is served on a kaiser roll, and not a bagel or toast like so many southern versions. “One of the thing Mashama and I knew had to be on the menu was a New York bacon egg and cheese,” said Morisano after I mistakenly asked if their version was served on a bagel. He told me you can get the sandwich on a bagel, but the true New York way is on a kaiser. The Sizzlin’ Smoky Pig is a sandwich, on the All Day side of the menu, based on one of the original menu items served at The Grey, the Sizzlin’ Smokey Pig. It was pork served sizzling in a cast iron skillet with a cracked egg on the top. The new version features smoked pig, pepper relish, and a fried egg all served on a kaiser roll. I asked Morisano what he personally picked to feature on the menu: “I was interested in seeing how Mashama could take some of the things we cooked over at The Grey and use that as inspiration for doing things here...I was really interested in connecting the DNA of The Grey with The Grey Market.” The Grey Market has a list of approximately thirty wines that was curated by the wine and beverage director Caleb. Per Morisano, “there are more fun and big wines here, we are not limiting ourselves to the old world wines like The Grey.” So far The Market has hosted a few impromptu wine tastings, and plan on hosting more at the standing counter. CS The Grey Market is at 109 Jefferson St.

HUNTER KILLER

// If the new motion picture Hunter Killer were real life, it would merit four stars. The U.S. President is a smart, compassionate and progressive woman who prefers to spend her time governing effectively rather than sending out factually challenged tweets like some raving lunatic. And instead of allowing itself to be owned by Russia, the United States remains wary of its former Cold War adversary and still keeps a cool distance. Clearly, Hunter Killer is set in some alternate universe, not unlike those seen in vintage Justice League comic books and modern Star Trek movies. Unfortunately, Hunter Killer isn’t a striking example of cinéma vérité but rather a complete piece of fiction. As such, it’s a rampaging mediocrity, even if it does represent a slight uptick in quality for a movie starring Gerard Butler. Butler, whose resume over the past two years alone includes the laughable trio of Geostorm, London Has Fallen and Gods of Egypt, here plays Joe Glass (presumably no relation to Samuel L. Jackson’s Mr. Glass), a submarine captain who is first glimpsed in the film hunting a buck in the most manly of manly fashions, with arrows instead of bullets. But we know right off the bat that Joe is a sensitive macho man since he decides not to kill the animal once he sees it being followed by a doe and a fawn (of course, since most critters have families, why was he even out there hunting in the first place?). We also learn that Joe is a rarity in the annals of the US military: an officer who never went to any prestigious colleges but instead worked his way up from washing dishes and polishing missiles (in other words, no way he’s a pointy-headed intellectual!). So when Joe is assigned a new sub and a new crew, he tells the slobs working under him that “I know you” and “I am you.” Why he stops short of uttering, “You complete me,” I can’t say. The reason for Joe being tasked with captaining the USS Arkansas is because the Russian president (handsome Alexander Diachnko, who only looks like Putin in Putin’s own mind) has been taken hostage by his warmongering defense minister (Michael Gor), who hopes to start World War III for some vague reason (maybe he was angry that Kim Jong-un unfriended him on Facebook?). While a trigger-happy American admiral (Gary Oldman) incessantly barks like some yippy Pomeranian, another officer (Common) and an NSA agent (Linda Cardellini) talk the rational U.S. President (Caroline Goodall) into allowing a rescue mission. Thus, four Navy SEALs are ordered to retrieve the Russkie Prez while Glass is assigned to pick everyone up with all the efficiency of a 5-star Uber driver.

Gerard Butler in Hunter Killer

Approximately 99.9% of submarine flicks manage to evoke a genuine sense of claustrophobia among audience members peering down all those narrow corridors in a confined space — think back to, for example, Robert Wise’s Run Silent, Run Deep or Wolfgang Petersen’s Das Boot — but Hunter Killer is surprisingly light on the tension. It is, however, heavy on the cock-swinging exchanges, particularly between Glass and his second-in-command (Carter MacIntyre), who’s on hand to raise daft objections simply so Glass can prove his superiority time after time (in short, don’t expect any of these flaccid standoffs to match the sizzling intensity of the battle of wills between Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman in Tony Scott’s Crimson Tide). And then there’s Oldman’s gung-ho warhawk, who bellows at levels that would put George S. Patton to shame. Clearly, Oldman made Darkest Hour to nab an Oscar; just as clearly, he made Hunter Killer to nab a sizable paycheck. The last-act action perks proceedings up a tad, even if it all remains stridently silly. Still, Hunter Killer was taken seriously enough by the Navy, which assisted in the making of the movie. And Butler was even invited to the Pentagon to hold a press conference in support of the film, a real-life/reel-life merger that admittedly is less wacky than most of what’s transpiring around the nation’s capital these days.

JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN

// As fans of James Bond wait impatiently for the next installment, they can at least take (quantum of?) solace in the fact that there’s a new Johnny English film hitting theaters. Then again, Johnny English Strikes Again, the third entry in the spoof series, is so devoid of genuine wit that they might be better off staying at home and spending time mulling over who should play 007 post-Daniel Craig. Even fans of 2003’s Johnny English and 2011’s Johnny English Reborn will be disappointed in this creaky comedy that finds Rowan Atkinson again essaying the role of the bumbling British agent who’s less Bond and more Clouseau. The plot this time involves English’s efforts to expose a Silicon Valley whiz kid (Jake Lacy) plotting to gain digital control over every nation. Olga Kurylenko, who played the female lead in the 007 entry Quantum of Solace, appears here as a Russian spy, while Emma Thompson is on hand as the British Prime Minister. Yet only Atkinson matters. The British comedian (who, by the way, did once appear in a Bond flick himself, portraying Nigel Small-Fawcett in the non-series effort Never Say Never Again) once again throws himself in his role, but the material just isn’t there this time. There are a few bright bits scattered about, but most of the gags are on the moldy order of English getting stuck inside knight’s armor or smacking someone with a baguette. Such a reliance on antiquated gags of this nature patently marks this film as a Johnny-come-lately. CS 45

Frank & Ella: An Evening to Remember

This evening celebrates the life of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, two powerhouses who have been made a major impact in the shaping of American music.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You have officially arrived at the heart of the most therapeutic phase of your cycle. Congratulations! It’s an excellent time to fix what’s wrong, hurt, or distorted. You will attract more help than you can imagine if you summon an aggressive approach toward finding antidotes and cures. A good way to set the tone for your aggressive determination to feel better is to heed this advice from poet Maya Angelou: “Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

U2’s singer Bono, born under the sign of Taurus, says that all of us suffer from the sense that something’s missing from our lives. We imagine that we lack an essential quality or experience, and its absence makes us feel sad and insufficient. French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to this emptiness as “a God-shaped hole.” Bono adds that “you can never completely fill that hole,” but you may find partial fixes through love and sex, creative expression, family, meaningful work, parenting, activism, and spiritual devotion. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I have a strong suspicion that in the coming weeks you will have more power to fill your God-shaped hole than you’ve had in a long time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

52

“Most of our desires are clichés, right? Ready to wear, one size fits all. I doubt if it’s even possible to have an original desire anymore.” So says a character in Gemini author Tobias Wolff’s short story “Sanity.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to refute and rebel against this notion. The cosmic rhythms will work in your favor to the degree that you cultivate innovative yearnings and unique urges. I hope you’ll make it your goal to have the experiences necessary to stir up an outbreak of original desires.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

If you’re a typical member of the Cancerian tribe, you’re skilled at responding

constructively when things go wrong. Your intelligence rises up hot and strong when you get sick or rejected or burned. But if you’re a classic Crab, you have less savvy in dealing with triumphs. You may sputter when faced with splashy joy, smart praise, or lucky breaks. But everything I just said is meant to be a challenge, not a curse. One of the best reasons to study astrology is to be aware of the potential shortcomings of your sign so you can outwit and overcome them. That’s why I think that eventually you’ll evolve to the point where you won’t be a bit flustered when blessings arrive. And the immediate future will bring you excellent opportunities to upgrade your response to good fortune.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

“Each of us needs something of an island in her life,” said poet John Keats. “If not an actual island, at least some place, or space in time, in which to be herself, free to cultivate her differences from others.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Leo, you’ll be wise to spend extra time on your own island in the next two weeks. Solitude is unlikely to breed unpleasant loneliness, but will instead inspire creative power and evoke inner strength. If you don’t have an island yet, go in search! (P.S.: I translated Keats’ pronouns into the feminine gender.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

I’m rooting for you to engage in experimental intimacy, Virgo. I hope you’ll have an affinity for sweet blends and incandescent mixtures and arousing juxtapositions. To get in the right mood for this playful work, you could read love poetry and listen to uplifting songs that potentize your urge to merge. Here are a few lyrical passages to get you warmed up. 1. “Your flesh quivers against mine like moonlight on the sea.” —Julio Cortázar 2. “When she smiles like that she is as beautiful as all my secrets. —Anne Carson 3. “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars . . . The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.” —Rabindranath Tagore 4. “I can only find you by looking deeper, that’s

coming weeks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re in a phase of your cycle when your influence is at a peak. People are more receptive than usual to your ideas and more likely to want the same things you do. Given these conditions, I think the best information I can offer you is the following meditation by Capricorn activist Martin Luther King Jr. “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”

Of course I want you to have more money. I’d love for you to buy experiences that expand your mind, deepen your emotional intelligence, and foster your ability to create inspiring forms of togetherness. My soul would celebrate if you got access to new wealth that enabled you to go in quest of spiritual fun and educational adventures. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be thrilled about you spending extra cash on trivial desires or fancy junk you don’t really need. Here’s why I feel this way: to the extent that you seek more money to pursue your most righteous cravings, you’re likely to get more money.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

“Penetralia” is a word that means the innermost or most private parts, the most secret and mysterious places. It’s derived from the same Latin term that evolved into the word “penetrate.” You Scorpios are of course the zodiac’s masters of penetralia. More than any other sign, you’re likely to know where the penetralia are, as well as how to get to them and what to do when you get to them. I suspect that this tricky skill will come in extra handy during the coming weeks. I bet your intimate adeptness with penetralia will bring you power, fun, and knowledge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria Rilke suggested that we cultivate an alertness for the ever-present possibility of germination and gestation. On a regular basis, he advised, we should send probes down into the darkness, into our unconscious minds, to explore for early signs of awakening. And when we discover the forces of renewal stirring there in the depths, we should be humble and reverent toward them, understanding that they are as-yet beyond the reach of our ability to understand. We shouldn’t seek to explain and define them at first, but simply devote ourselves to nurturing them. Everything I just said is your top assignment in the

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey spent much of his life rambling around in the great outdoors. He was an emancipated spirit who regarded the natural world as the only church he needed. In an eruption of ecstatic appreciation, he once testified that “Life is a joyous dance through daffodils beneath cerulean blue skies and then, then what? I forget what happens next.” And yet the truth is, Abbey was more than a wild-hearted Dionysian explorer in the wilderness. He found the discipline and diligence to write 23 books! I mention this, Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to be like the disciplined and diligent and productive version of Abbey.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

For renowned Piscean visual artist Anne Truitt (1921–2004), creating her work was high adventure. She testified that artists like her had “to catapult themselves wholly, without holding back one bit, into a course of action without having any idea where they will end up. They are like riders who gallop into the night, eagerly leaning on their horse’s neck, peering into a blinding rain.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Pisces, I suspect your life in the coming weeks may feel like the process she described. And that’s a good thing! A fun thing! Enjoy your ride.
