IN MEMORIAM: THE ORLANDO 49 Every week between now and the one-year anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shootings, Orlando Weekly will profile a person killed on June 12, 2016. This week: Darryl “DJ” Roman Burt II Beneath his dapper bow ties and professionalism, Darryl “DJ” Burt was someone who could make you laugh until your stomach hurt, says his cousin Takesha Burt. “DJ has been my best friend for the past 29 years,” she says in an email. “He was so smart and even though I was a year older, I really looked up to him. Since the day he was born we have been like twins because we looked so much alike and refused to be apart.” Burt, 29, was a financial aid officer who focused on military students at Keiser University in Jacksonville and had previously worked in management at McDonald’s and Forever 21. He had recently become a member of the Jacksonville Jaycees, an organization made up of young people who are trying to make communities better. “He was definitely one who wasn’t afraid to take the lead,” says Shawn DeVries, the

president of the Jacksonville Jaycees. “He had just chaired his first project in January. It was a clothing drive to raise awareness and bring clothes to the homeless shelter. He was definitely all about giving back. He really wanted to help others.” Takesha Burt says her cousin loved to spend time with his family, especially during Christmas, and when he wasn’t trying to change the world, he loved to sing, particularly gospel music. In June, Burt and his family were celebrating because he had just graduated from DeVry University with a master’s degree in human resources management. On June 12, he was out with friends celebrating his accomplishments at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, according to the Richmond Free Press. Burt was killed in the mass shooting that started in the early morning hours, along with 48 other people. “His sense of humor and his confidence are the things I admired most,” Takesha Burt says. “I really miss him.” DeVries says Burt’s death was a “shock and surprise” for all the Jacksonville Jaycees. The group has helped raised money to benefit Burt’s family and plans to dedicate a bench to his memory in a Jacksonville park. On Facebook, Burt’s mother, Felicia Jackson Burt, posted baby pictures of her son and photos from his graduation. “We refuse to let the hatred of others steal the joy of our child,” she says. “Our God is bigger.” – Monivette Cordeiro

Donald Trump’s reign begins, FBI arrest widow of Pulse shooter, Markeith Loyd is caught and other things you may have missed this week. »

Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th U.S. President:

Orlando Police catch murder suspect Markeith Loyd:

Noor Salman, widow of Pulse mass shooter, pleads not guilty after arrest:

America welcomed Trump into the White House this week and promptly overshadowed his presidential inauguration after more than a million people rallied in women’s marches around the world against Trump and his policies. It’s going to be a long four years, but hey, we’re only three years, 11 months and three weeks away from 2020! Law enforcement agencies found Loyd, accused of killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon and OPD Lt. Debra Clayton, in an abandoned Carver Shores home armed with two guns and wearing body armor. After unsuccessfully trying to escape, Loyd surrendered through the front door and crawled several feet to police. Aerial video footage of his arrest appears to show officers kicking Loyd in the head after he surrenders to them. Orlando Police Chief John Mina says Loyd resisted arrest and prompted officers to use force when he did not put his hands behind his back. Loyd was on the run from police since Dec. 13 after he allegedly shot and killed Dixon and injured her brother. On Jan. 9, Clayton tried to stop Loyd at a Princeton Walmart, where Mina says they exchanged fire and Loyd shot her in the manner of a “cold-blooded execution.”

Salman pleaded not guilty in a California court to federal charges alleging she helped her husband in the attack that killed 49. Last week, she was arrested by FBI agents at her home outside of San Francisco for obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting her husband’s “material support or resources” to ISIS. Prosecutors accused her of knowing her husband was going to conduct the attack. Salman’s lawyer says she had no foreknowledge of the attack.

Florida gator reminds tourists who’s boss by jumping onto their boat: Tylor Hindery was recording his wetlands trip with his wife on Facebook Live when they spotted the resting 8-foot-long reptile. After their tour guide said he was going to have to push away from the bank, he asked Hindery if he was close enough to slap it. Apparently, the gator did not take too kindly to that last statement because seconds later it lunged into the boat and got stuck in the railing. After some thrashing from the gator and screams from the humans on the boat, the animal managed to slip back into the murky waters. mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Hear me roar The day after Trump’s inauguration, thousands march in downtown Orlando for Central Florida Women’s Rally BY D EANNA FERRANT E AND M O NI VET T E CO RD EI RO

Model Jill Miller emulates the “We the People” artwork of Shepard Fairey, painted on her by body painting artist Shannon Holt

ania Davy just wants for her daughter to see the future. Strapped to her back, Davy, 34, carried her sleepy 2-year-old toddler in a crowd of thousands marching against sexism, racism, xenophobia and other forms of oppression at the Women’s Rally of Central Florida at Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando. Her child may not remember the colorful signs, pink hats or jubilant chants, but Davy will remind her years from now that on the first day of President Donald Trump’s term, they fought back together. “I just want her to know that whoever represents this country as president – that’s just a symbol,” Davy says. “That’s not America. Everyone that’s here is really what America is. She’s only 2, but I want her to learn from a very young age that every individual person has a democratic right to participate in this country.” In a strong rebuke to newly inaugurated President Trump, his campaign rhetoric and the policies they believe could endanger their rights, millions of people gathered in Orlando and hundreds of other cities across the world in demonstrations supporting the Women’s March on Washington. The women who organized the march asked “all defenders of human rights” to join them in protecting the rights of women of all races, immigrants, Muslims and people of other faiths, LGBTQ people and other marginalized groups. Gricel Fernandez, co-organizer of the Orlando march, says she and her partner, Autumn Garick, thought about 500 people would come when they first announced the rally. More than 6,000 people ended up registering for the event. “We want people who come to realize democracy is something you take part in every single day,” she says. “It’s not just every four years. If an issue matters to you, it should matter to you every day. … Even though you may just be one person, one voice, it doesn’t matter. I am one person and made one phone call, and now all these people are here.” On the stage of the rainbow-colored Lake Eola bandshell, several women gave impassioned CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

speeches about how to resist Trump’s administration for the next four years. Rasha Mubarak, the Orlando coordinator for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, says people often confuse a state of being neutral with righteousness. “That motion goes against what morality truly stands for,” she says. “To be neutral in times of justice is to be an essential and indirect contributor to the transgressor. … The most destructive of its kind is a fatal silence.” Lifting a poster at least 6 feet tall with an orange Trump cartoon identified as a “Fake Prez” into the air, Eileen Lee, 53, an Orlando resident who works in medical records, says that she doesn’t view President Trump as legitimate. “I think he’s a fake president. He’s not a real president because the way he was elected was in a false and phony and underhanded way,” Lee says. “The first couple of weeks, I cried every day thinking about it,” she adds. “I used to watch the news all the time … but I can’t. If I start listening or reading, I get upset and I just have to turn it off.” While many participants painted posters, some artists took their inspiration to other canvases. Shannon Holt, an Orlando-based body painter, spent time during the event painting models to resemble the artwork of Shepard Fairey, famous for the Obama “Hope” poster. She says the project was about visibility. “It’s about being seen, coming out for this cause,” Holt says. “I’m an artist, so real artists contribute to what they believe … I’m just using my art as a vehicle for communication.” Royalty even graced the event as the masses congregated around the amphitheater. A sparkling crown atop her head, Naysa

Sheena Meade speaks to the crowd at Lake Eola

Smith, a senior at Wekiva High School who was recently selected as Miss Black Teen Florida U.S. Ambassador, greeted participants and encouraged them to share their reasons for marching. Smith says she came out to support the rally because of her belief in the importance of women’s rights. “It is important that we show ourselves as the queens we are in our community and that we stand in solidarity with the women who marched before us and the women who will continue to march in the present and in the future.” Davy says that as an immigrant and a woman of color, she has struggled with the way traditional feminism has focused on white women and their concerns. She wanted to physically be present with her daughter at the march so “that truth can’t be erased” and to remind people “there’s not a monolithic vision of what women’s rights are.” Despite the Trump administration’s plans for the country, Davy says she has hope. “I’m heartbroken that this person that’s such a racist, such a xenophobe, such a homophobe has so much access to the media to represent what America is supposed to be,” she says. “But I refuse to accept that’s what the future is going to look like. That’s why I fight. That’s why I march. That’s why I struggle.” feedback@orlandoweekly.com

ime has slowed down for this inexorable event; Trump, his stiff comb-over windmilling in the breeze, his hand on a Bible, swearing, for what that’s worth, to uphold the constitution of the United States. I want time to stretch infinitely between now and then, before America commits to a future that feels like the past. While the Trump family attends a service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, two Bikers for Trump, retired firefighters dressed identically down to their ball caps, shades, gray moustaches, middleaged girth and black leather jackets, ride the DC Metro. A woman wearing a Nasty Woman T-shirt gets on at a stop. The bikers politely make room for her. She smiles and says, “Thank you.” orlandoweekly.com

But outside Union Station on Massachusetts Avenue, the protest is gearing up. People mill about bearing posters and banners: “This Is Very Bad,” “Resist the Fascist Tide,” “Keep Your Tiny Hands to Yourself,” etc. There is pageantry as well. A woman in black stands on a median wearing a sign that reads, “Mourning in America.” There is a Trump Darth Vader, breakdancing, and a man with a Putin head dangling a tiny dancing Trump puppet. There’s even, for some inexplicable reason, two llamas. Posters on lampposts advertise: “#Disrupt J20.” Down Delaware Ave. toward the Capitol, the D.C. police, the Secret Service and the National Guard are out in full force. Vendors sell Trump T-shirts, buttons and souvenirs. The lowly press who lack blue tickets are searched and herded to a gated enclosure, near the Frances Perkins Building. It is sparsely populated and looks like a cage. The Capitol, the spectators and the inauguration are miles away. It is barely possible to hear what they are saying. Someone calls for a moment of silence. There is singing. The invocation. Finally, Trump’s inaugural address. His voice floats out into the streets: “This moment is your moment: It belongs to you. It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country.” Back out in the street, his voice mingles with the cries of protesters. Down the block from Ford’s Theatre, there is chanting. Hundreds of people are in the street, arms locked, blocking access to the inauguration. They turn away people in red “Make America Great Again” hats. They chant, “How do you like this wall?“ and “Go another way.” One of them breaks off long enough to scream, “Fascist bigots. We’re taking a stand.” Suddenly the protesters rush into the street, expand, take over, disrupt traffic. Some wear masks or cover their faces with bandanas, some beat on drums, chanting, “Ain’t no power like the power of people.” At some point they merge with protesters of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The “Festival of Resistance” breaks up around McPherson Square with speeches and music. On the way back, there is smoke in the street. It is not a burning Trump effigy. Someone set fire to a newspaper vending machine. Protesters mill about uneasily. “This is stupid,” someone says. Most of the streets are blocked off by black-clad police in riot gear. They stand, impassive, as some protesters taunt them or get too close. “Back off,” one says, brandishing what looks like a tear gas canister. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Later, someone throws a rock at a Starbucks, breaking the plate glass. Protesters are arrested. A limousine burns. An army truck blocks the road to the Capitol, which looms in the distance. Donald Trump is president of the United States of America.

Jan. 21, 2017 This is the day of the Woman’s March, and it is off to a bad start if you actually want to go. In Baltimore, at 7:30 a.m., the line of people runs around Penn Station and down the block. Everyone grabs cabs or Ubers, and the hell with the $100 fare. Coming from every direction toward the Capitol, people text and tweet: “We are 13 miles out and exits are blocked off.” “We are trying to get as close as we can and walk.” The roads to the Capitol are filled with chartered buses; Florida alone sends 200 bus riders. The police planned for 200,000. Half a million people showed up. According to Florida organizer Emma Collum, 27,000 were from Florida. Being in a crowd that big in the National Mall is a unique experience. I thought my presence in the march would be counted as a face in the body of a movement. Instead, smashed into a space near the Air and Space Museum, feeling the pressure and the weight of bodies front, back and center, I felt more like a molecule in a cell. I learned the many pungent varieties of body odor. There was a Jumbotron in the distance, but in spite of the crowd’s chants of “We can’t hear,” the speakers were visible, but 14

inaudible. People stood on ledges and climbed trees. We chanted, “Thank you, Obama.” When familiar faces appeared on the screen, we chanted their names. I heard later that Gloria Steinem said that we “looked like an ocean.” People held up banners: “Girls just wanna have fundamental rights,” “Physicians support healthcare for all,” “Resist intolerance,” “I’m not giving up and neither should you.” A giant cutout of Hillary Clinton bobbed above a sea of pink-hatted heads. To pass the time, we talked among ourselves. I was surrounded by women from Iowa, Canada and New Orleans. Gillian Wells from California said, “I just didn’t know what to say to my son the morning after the election.” Someone else said, “I thought Bush W. was bad. That was nothing compared to this.” It took an hour to get out. You could go an inch, wait for another small opening, then go another inch. People with small children and people in wheelchairs were part of this huge, compressed crowd. There would have been a real danger of being trampled except that everyone, without fail, was polite and good-natured. Sarah Clark Hendess, the Orlando organizer, said afterward, “One of the best parts of the event for me was how friendly the crowd was. All 500,000 of us truly stood together in solidarity.” The actual march could have been a logistical nightmare because of the gargantuan multitude. But by midafternoon, the crowd did march toward the White House. Many continued marching the streets of D.C. until well after dark. No one was arrested. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

BY SETH KUBERSKY GEORGE TAKEI

After Election Night, I’d fully

planned to spend this past week in a media-free bunker and avoid any mention of the unreal reality show unspooling in Washington. If you’d told me at the time that I’d instead end Inauguration Eve imbued with if not hope at least resilience, I would’ve called you crazy. And if you’d told me that the source of my inspiration would be a meme-spreading Facebook celebrity and friend of Howard Stern, I would have backed away slowly and called the cops. But while some say celebrities should stay silent on serious social issues, the Winter Park Institute’s Jan. 19 lecture by actor and activist George Takei turned out to provide exactly the historical context many of us craved to hear. Takei’s appearance at Rollins College’s Alfond Sports Complex naturally touched on his career as Star Trek’s original Lt. Hikaru Sulu, with warm remembrances of departed colleagues James “Scotty” Doohan (“a really down-to-earth, easy to like guy … he became my favorite drinking buddy”) and creator Gene Roddenberry, who was “a trailblazer” who “wanted to use science fiction as a metaphor for the real issues of our time.” Takei said Roddenberry began the “table read” for Trek’s first episode by explaining, “Starship Enterprise is a metaphor for Starship Earth, with people of all races and cultures coming together and working in concert.” That utopian appeal for equality, represented by the Roddenberry acronym “IDIC” (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination), was not only the underpinning of Star Trek’s long-term success, but Takei’s deeply personal interest since the age of 5. In 1942, Takei and his family were among the 120,000 innocent Japanese-American citizens dragged from their homes at gunpoint and sent to “desolate, hellish” locations across the country where they were “imprisoned behind barbed wire” in internment camps.

Actor and activist George Takei gives a message of hope and resilience at Rollins College’s Warden Arena “Children are amazingly adaptable,” said Takei, recalling how he thought the sentry’s spotlights were there to aid his nighttime outhouse visits. “What would be grotesquely abnormal became my normality behind those barbed wire fences.” Once released, Takei’s impoverished family returned to Los Angeles, where they could only find housing on Skid Row. Takei’s parents lived the American Dream, working their way up from dry cleaners to real estate investors, but as an “arrogant, idealistic teenager” he couldn’t reconcile the “noble ideals of American Democracy” with his childhood internment, which was absent from the history books. Takei’s father responded by forcing him to become politically active. “He used to tell people that ‘we’ volunteered for the [Adlai] Stevenson campaign, but actually he volunteered me.” That was the first of several losing candidates Takei backed, but as his father said, “in a democracy, you never give up, you keep on keeping on.” Takei helped L.A.’s first African-American mayor win, and was involved in the civil rights movement, even performing at a rally with Martin Luther King: “I shook his hand, and for three days this hand wasn’t washed.” He also worked with Donald Sutherland and Jane Fonda to protest the Vietnam War, and testified to Congress about the Japanese internment before President Reagan’s long-awaited official apology and “token” redress. But for all his public activism, Takei admits he remained private “on the one issue that was closest to me, that was

organic to me.” He became aware of his homosexuality at around 10 years old, which left him feeling “isolated, as popular as I may have been, and alone” in school. After discovering gay bars, Takei was able to “let my guard down, to relax, and to enjoy camaraderie and friendship,” but the threat of career-ruining exposure kept him closeted, “living a double life” filled with “needle-prick anxiety … a tense, torturous feeling with which I lived all the time.” In a question-and-answer session conducted by 90.7 WMFE’s space reporter Brendan Byrne, Takei expressed solidarity with the Pulse nightclub victims, calling the attack “an assault on one part of the First Amendment: freedom of assembly,” and advocating communal action to “deal with the wanton misunderstanding of the Second Amendment.” Despite watching the Stonewall riots and the growth of gay civil rights, Takei stayed silent until 2005, when then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed California’s marriage equality bill. “I thought, I’ve had a good enough career,” Takei recalled. “Maybe it’s time that I spoke up. I spoke to the press for the first time as a gay man and I blasted Arnold Schwarzenegger’s veto.” Since then, he’s come out “vociferously, loudly, and with amplification” with Brad, his now-husband and partner of nearly 30 years, and lobbied legislators for marriage equality. It may not seem like it at present, but Takei insists that “we have made amazing progress towards the core ideal of democracy: equality.” If a man who has seen America’s darkest horrors up close can still say, “I’m an optimist; sometimes I get tired, but I don’t get disappointed because I know that there is a solution that can be arrived at by all of us working together,” then what excuse do the rest of us have for not boldly going where no one has gone, no matter who is sitting in the Oval Office? skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BULLA GASTROBAR South Florida Spanish joint serves up some mighty fine tapas and tipples. Chef Felix Plasencia gets it going with marvy croquetas, stellar octopus salad, and pintxos of charcoal-fired cuminmarinated pork. Jamon ibérico de bellota and Leonora cheese are good any time of day. For more substantial plates, consider the seafood paella, arroz marinero cooked with plankton, and the red snapper fired up in a charcoal oven.

TASTE OF YUCATÁN No-frills Mexican joint serves up a taste of Yucatán cuisine with a grand selection of tacos, salbutes (deep-fried tacos) and panuchos (salbutes stuffed with refried beans), as well as tortas, quesadillas and rice bowls. Fillings you’ll fancy: cochinita pibil, al pastor, barbacoa and vegetarian rajas poblanas. Pollo adobado can be a tad dry, but superb housemade salsas, like tamarind-habañero and salsa macha, counter the effects. Closed Mondays. 1375 S. Semoran Blvd., 407-704-2248; $

BARTACO Beach-themed taquería fuses Mexican tradition with Latin, Mediterranean and Asian flavors and, for the most part, does so successfully. Tacos are on the small side, but when corn tortillas are filled with such succulent meats as duck confit in tamarind glaze, rotisserie pork pastor, and soy-, sesame- and srirachamarinated Angus ribeye topped with kimchi, substance tends to trump size. Vegetarian options (falafel, cauliflower, portobello) abound, but don’t overlook other items like kicked-up, creamy guac and grilled corn rolled in lime, cayenne and cotija. Cocktails please even when desserts don’t wow. Open daily. 7600 Dr. Phillips Blvd., 407-801-8226; $$

There may not be a more zeitgeist-y, New Year’s resolution-centric lifestyle change than committing to a bi-weekly meditation and yoga classes. Like athleisure fashion, cold-pressed juices, or quinoa, Eastern spiritual and physical exercises have struck a pose in popular culture as of late. At the end of every yoga class, instructors guide students through meditative breathing exercises: a deep inhale, followed by a billowing exhale. Though all based in the ancient practices of another time, today’s yoga offers something for everyone, whether you delve into a full mind/body/ spirit approach or prefer keeping your focus primarily on the physical body and athletic conditioning. So unroll your floor mat, align your chakras (and spine!), and join us as we explore the worlds of spiritual health and Power Yoga.

and emotional health. Along with meditation and exercise, auras and chakras—accurately reading them, taking the steps to harmonize them—are important factors when considering your overall 2017 health and wellness regimen. Also known as “electromagnetic fields” in the scientific community, auras (colorful, halo-like projections surrounding the human body) can help identify subconscious mental and spiritual imbalances in someone’s psyche. Although they’re invisible to the naked eye, meditation and healing centers like Soul Centre in Winter Park, founded and managed by locals Kari Ghanem and and Chelsea Michaud respectively, use finely calibrated machines that can read and display auras. “You know when you’re in a public place and your mood suddenly swings?” Michaud asks. “Often times, that’s your aura entangling and swapping energies with someone near you. But you can take steps to strengthen your aura and, consequently, your overall well-being.” A healthier aura will feature bright, vibrant colors with few gaps or holes, while flagging auras appear porous and washedout. Regular aura readings can help you set benchmarks for mental and emotional health moving into the new year. “Aura readings make us more cognizant of our own mindfulness and positivity, or

lack thereof,” Michaud says. “People have visited us assuming their auras would look unhealthy, have hopped on the reading machine, and their auras were spectacular.” Chakras are closely tied to an individual’s auras. Every human being possesses seven of these distinct energy centers. Aligned vertically from the crown of the head to the pubic bone, these non-physical nodes are linked to internal organ health and harmony. If any one of the seven chakras overpowers the others—say, your third eye outshines your throat chakra—the subtle body (that is, the physical body’s spiritual, non-corporeal energy) can become unstable and have a tangible impact on your emotional state and wellness. Gurus can identify and balance your wayward chakras, giving your juju a muchneeded jump start. Popular methods for balancing chakras are flower and crystal therapies. Like all of us, various flowers and crystals also project auras which can restore human auras and even rebalance chakras by absorbing negative energy for their wearers. “For instance, to balance my heart chakra, I would carry a rose quartz,” Michaud says. “This quartz’s aura removes resentments and emotional pain, which knock my heart chakra out of alignment.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 32

BREATHE OUT

If flower and crystal healing represent that deep inhale, Power Yoga is an outward push into the Universe. Derived from vigorous, dynamic disciplines including ashtanga, vinyasa, and Bikram styles, Power Yoga rarely rests on its laurels. Yogis flow between poses and positions, all the way through and back again, rather than holding single position for long moments at a time. “I was looking for something different to do with yoga,” Orlando Power Yoga founder Kelly Senn says. “I had been doing Bikram yoga for several years, and I started doing Power Yoga at home. There were more poses that were harder for me to do. … I fell in love with it and had the opportunity to open up a studio right away, which I did as I was going through teacher training. And here we are.” The traditional yoga styles Power Yoga draws from rely on fixed routines of asanas, or poses—a student attending a noon Bikram class, for example, will have a nearly identical experience to that of the 5 p.m. attendees. Not so with Power Yoga. Instructors can modify their routines midclass to fit students’ physical and spiritual needs. Power Yoga’s most renowned feature is perhaps the heat and humidity. It’s a pillar borrowed from Bikram yoga, and the sweltering environment is there for more than just evoking that euphoric, sweaty feeling. Beginners and yogis recovering from injury often discover the increased temperature and humidity help improve flexibility during classes. Over time Power Yogis will experience a slimming sensation—weight loss, lower blood pressure, and a lithe, toned physique. The constant movement and Power Yoga’s emphasis on upright poses strengthens the core and increases stamina. But instructors like Senn also incorporate meditation and breathing regimens into their classes for reflection and self-fulfillment. Power Yoga, when paired with proper spiritual health, can help balance the best of both worlds. “I have people there just for the fitness benefits in my classes,” Senn says. “I also have people who treat this studio like their church. Some are going through physical therapy. The beauty of Power Yoga is you can take anything you want from it and leave the rest.” 32

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

BY ST EVE SCHNEID ER OPENING THIS WEEK: A Dog’s Purpose Sometimes life just steps up and takes a difficult decision out of your hands. For weeks before the release of A Dog’s Purpose, most of the people I know who are dog lovers – which translates as most of the people I know – were wondering how they could subject themselves to a movie that, like the novel on which it’s based, shows faithful pooches dying and being reincarnated over and over again. Then TMZ released shocking video of the filmmakers emotionally torturing some poor dog by forcing it into turbulent waters, and skipping the picture became a no-brainer. Now it’s the movie that’s dead in the water, with filmmaker Lasse Hallstrom and voice actor Josh Gad distancing themselves from what went down like John Landis playing keep-away with Vic Morrow’s head. First big PR disaster of 2017. And come to think of it, there was always an uncomfortable similarity between the titles A Dog’s Purpose and 101 Uses for a Dead Cat. (PG)

ness final word that Paul WS Anderson and Milla Jovovich are going to have to say about the zombie apocalypse. Me, I’m not buying it. What would life be without the prospect of another Resident Evil picture? It’s one of the three things in life I count on, along with death and the president not paying his taxes. And anyway, when you’ve already titled installments of your film series Apocalypse and Extinction – and they were only the second and third chapters, for God’s sake – it’s clear that you define the word “final” a little differently than most people. Plus, what could Anderson and Jovovich do next? I’m not particularly interested in their take on that new vampire edition of The Sims. Or Hamilton. (R) ALSO PLAYING: My Father Die Forget that the title sounds like a racist depiction of a Chinese guy calling 911. This one’s actually a drama about a deaf-mute who seeks revenge on his father for killing the family’s oldest son. Jesus, that bunch must take forever in the Hallmark store. (NR)

Gold Matthew McConaughey gained 50

pounds and shaved his hairline back to play Kenny Wells, a real-life businessman who found and then struggled to maintain control of a cache of Indonesian gold. Everyone from Michael Mann to Paul Haggis to Spike Lee was attached to the movie before it wound up in the hands of Steven Gaghan, whose Syriana struck me as clearly an important and sophisticated picture because I had no idea who the hell anyone in it was, or why they were doing what they were doing. Says the Houston Chronicle of Gold: “So much plot is crammed into the film’s relatively lengthy 120 minutes that it can be downright confounding trying to figure out who’s a good guy and who’s the villain.” That’s my boy! (R)

Paterson Jim Jarmusch’s latest is a character

study about a bus driver and amateur poet who lives in Paterson, New Jersey. And who just happens to be named Paterson himself. (Because, let’s face it, nobody was going to bankroll a movie about a guy named Hohokus.) The movie took home the Palm Dog award at the most recent Cannes film festival. Hey, so that’s a dog’s purpose! (R)

Moana The acclaimed animated musical

The Resurrection of Gavin Stone In some sort of weird-assed, faith-based cross between Role Models, Hamlet 2 and Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, a troubled young performer fulfills his community service by playing Jesus in a Church pageant.

GREAT LIVE MUSIC RATTLES ORLANDO EVERY NIGHT

human thing that’s all about feeling. I guess I just discovered that with me, I have a good voice, not a great, classically trained voice, and that I can play guitar pretty well, but I’m not an insane virtuoso where you can kind of just get lost in the groove of things. I take from the Neil Young school, sorta. It’s reachable for me.

Chlorine If his band Elsinores was a stab at Joy

Since 2008, you’ve released six LPs and a handful of EPs. At this point, do you feel that songwriting serves a different purpose in your life than it did when you first began formally releasing tracks? Is the need to create still as prevalent?

Division, Joey Elsinore has now entered lush, electro-pop New Order phase with Chlorine. Bring flowers. 10 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 25, at Uncle Lou’s, $5

Yeah, probably, I write songs a little differently than I used to. You know, I love music just as much as always, but before I looked at things in a linear way. These days I rarely have an end … I’ll write a part, and think to myself, “This could be cool.” Then, I don’t know, play a little bit of it on the piano, write a ton of lyrics, play some guitar riffs straight through, jot it all down, and think, “All right, I’m gonna finish this.” … With that said, I’m taking it a little bit slower now. I’m trying to get to my roots, get organized, and have my songs actually written out, and not have too many options. We live in a very “option” world now.

Atmosphere OG sadboy hip-hop duo come back swinging. We’ve seen them live before and trust us, it’s worth the trip. 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, at the Beacham, $22.50-$25

ALL IN A DAZE WORK A look inside the floored genius of frazzled rocker Kurt Vile BY JESSE FEINMAN

urt Vile is a man of simple pleasures, someone who prefers to leave his hair uncombed and “just have fun, live [his] life like a son of a gun.” But even though Vile has that blue-collar, “everyman” personality, he possesses a certain self-reservation, one that implies that he’s being deliberately modest and intentionally quiet. He’s a self-proclaimed chameleon, and his newest LP, b’lieve i’m goin down, effortlessly reflects this shapeshifting nature. The record’s centerpiece is “Pretty Pimpin’,” a four-minute folk-pop track that’s welcoming and full of seamless transitions. Lyrically, though, “Pretty Pimpin’” speaks on identity crises, on the inability to recognize oneself in the early morning sun. But even though Vile’s lyrics outwardly confess his confusion, he blankets his struggle with pop structures and upbeat strumming. Though we can’t say for certain why Vile chose to approach

this song (and record) this way, we have a hunch: he wants you to do the digging yourself. Orlando Weekly: b’lieve I’m goin down was celebrated for many reasons, one being its overarching subtlety - in terms of humor, sophistication and honesty. How important is subtlety in songwriting to you? Kurt Vile: I think over

Vivian K.

You’ve mentioned that, while you think b’lieve is your darkest record, you hope that it isn’t too one-dimensionally dark. Are you, in a way, opposed to indulgence like that?

aggro-emo outfit before they hit the neverending road again.

Ah, no. I think I’ve learned about and gone through indulgence. But I can tell when something is over-indulgent. Or at least I try to. Like, I can write a long song, for instance, pretty long, and some might consider that over-indulgent, but a good trick in writing is to be listening. And when you’re bobbing your head the whole time to your song, and you yourself stop, that usually means the listener has stopped, too.

BY B AO L E - H U U DAVID VASSALOTTI | PHOTO BY LIV JONSE

In desperate need of a laugh out of the current political situation? Just look at the revenge of that hysterically sad-ass musical lineup for Trump’s inauguration. I almost feel bad for the event’s talent buyer.

THE BEAT

The In-Between Series covers a lot of stylistic ground. But, befitting a gallery serial focused on art music, most of it is experimental and obscure in nature, and indie rock isn’t usually on the menu. The latest chapter, however, went there and went big with a rare performance by David Vassalotti (Jan. 16, Gallery at Avalon Island). Though best known as a core member of Merchandise – the breakout Tampa band that’s now on legacy tastemaker label 4AD – he’s also a noted solo artist in his own right, currently releasing on notable Brooklyn indie imprint Wharf Cat Records. All that considered, he’s possibly the most vogue name to be featured in the series so far. Vassalotti’s 2016 album, Broken Rope, on which he played everything himself, was nice with some interesting flourishes. But live, his music takes on a whole new level of mystique. Musically, it’s an experimental braid that intertwines noise, blues, rock & roll, indie rock, pop and even some non-Western threads in intriguing and fresh ways. Live, he works in loops and layers, stroking exquisite lines and fields of texture with his guitar. On the mic, he haunts through voice, harmonica and even beatboxing, casting it all in a lo-fi filter like Dirty Beaches working out some heavy personal shit. As a one-man show, it was exceptional

On the floor of a dark gallery, under the unflinching austerity of a single white studio lamp aimed straight at the audience, David Vassaloti gave a heady, diving, gripping performance.

in both its fullness and its originality, defying the usual conventions of the solo format. Though not many to this magnitude, other loop artists have managed to encompass the full compositional range of melody, rhythm, dimension, depth and texture. But few do it with as much uniqueness of vision as Vassalotti. And almost none execute it with this sort of channeled and restless physicality. His technical ingenuity, hounded soul and flair for drama were plied to some seriously moving effect. On the floor of a dark gallery, under the unflinching austerity of a single white studio lamp aimed straight at the audience, it all conspired in a heady, diving, gripping performance that was one of the most evocative episodes of the In-Between Series to date. Soul Coughing and Wheatus (Jan. 19, the Social) are two notable relics of bygone zeitgeists if ever there were any. But, though he’s inextricably tied to yore, Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty is no retro act. He’s maintained an enduring solo career and continues to push his music forward with innovation. And

actually, thankfully, he’s far less goofy on his own. This I can now verify firsthand because his recent performance with a six-piece band (that included openers Wheatus) was generally interesting and engaging, though I wanted to cut myself each time they played one of Soul Coughing’s hits like “Super Bon Bon” or “Circles.” Doughty’s own material and interpretations just felt so much more earnest, personal and, well, soulful. Wheatus, on the other hand, are kind of the polar opposite of Soul Coughing’s arty fusion: a simple little joy. They haven’t moved the national needle since the dawn of the millennium, with my last live encounter with them way back in 2005 at the old Will’s Pub. But after all that time, Brendan B. Brown’s voice – the undeniable pulse of their songs – is still in prime condition, hitting those famous genderbending highs like a golden-throated castrato. Wheatus’ blend of endearing wit and big, guileless rock melodies isn’t just a forthright formula but a combination that clearly stuck. Brown was frequently impressed by the amount and depth of the requests that were shouted at them throughout their set. It shouldn’t be a surprise considering his eternally underdog mien, but few bands like this handle their station with such refreshing grace (summed up nicely by the frontman’s utterance of “Thanks for remembering us.”). Between their sweet blend of humor and humility and the appreciative nostalgia of the crowd, it was an unexpectedly warm engagement of both intimacy and entertainment. A little respect, indeed. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Angel’s Envy Spirited Dinner

Thursday, 26

Wicked After Dark

EVENTS

THEATER

DoveCote, the “French-inspired” restaurant from chef Clayton Miller, has made waves in the downtown dining scene since moving into the Bank of America building last year. But the pricey menu, though universally well received, can limit the scope of the culinary adventure that patrons are able to embark on. Which is why this prix fixe tasting menu, produced in conjunction with noted Better Bourbon brand Angel’s Envy, is so notable. For less than $50, you’ll get to sample four courses from DoveCote’s kitchen: beef carpaccio and grilled octopus starters, a breaded pork cutlet garnished with a brown butter sauce and lemon beurre blanc, and an olive oil cake for dessert. Plus, each course comes with either an Angel’s Envy cocktail or straight pours of their rye and cask-strength varieties. If you find any other high-end restaurant offering up a deal this good, take it. Make reservations now; seating is limited and sure to fill up. – Thaddeus McCollum

While the Dr. Phillips Center’s run of Wicked continues this week, fans may want to check out this special cabaret night at the Abbey. Opener Rachel Potter is a bona fide Wicked alumna, playing Glinda during its second national tour. Following Potter’s performance with her band Steel Union, the Abbey’s stage is graced with current Wicked stars, fresh from a performance down the street, along with some other alumni and guest stars to perform song and dance numbers from their favorite Broadway musicals. Since this is a benefit for the GLBT Center of Central Florida, there are some unique raffle prizes available, including a walk-on role during Wicked’s run, a chance to be a stage manager for a night and some one-on-one time with Jessica Vosk, currently playing Elphaba, as she goes through the process of getting painted green for her role. – TM 8:30 p.m. | The Abbey, 100 S.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

EVENTS Every year, International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemorates the day in 1945 that Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp. Last year, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Anne Frank’s stepsister Eva Schloss, an Auschwitz survivor, wrote in Newsweek that she sees parallels today to the rise of Nazism in the 1930s and ’40s. Schloss pointed out that our current president, then only a candidate – with his wall to keep out illegal immigrants and his “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” – shows the same kind of xenophobic thinking responsible for the death of 6 million would-be refugees. On Thursday, the Holocaust Center hosts a panel discussion with local Holocaust survivors who will share their stories and explain how they, like Anne Frank, were able to maintain their faith in humanity. So today might be a good day to do some listening, because God knows we are all going to need suggestions for how to do that. – Jessica Bryce Young

Billy Joel

Boy Harsher MUSIC

MUSIC

We were banging our heads on our desks, trying to think of how to properly express the artistry of William Martin “Billy” Joel, when it occurred to us: Go back to the music! That’s right, always go back to the “music.” The music of a man who has not written or recorded any new material since 1993 yet still brings the heat for thouPHOTO VIA WIKIMEDIA sands of people on the road. We know a lot of people really hated the Joelster, but we liked some of his songs. “The Longest Time” is a sweet little love song, and Joel made “Uptown Girl” back when music videos meant something, dammit. But then, we heard it. First in “Piano Man” (“the businessmen slowly get stoned ... sharing a drink they call loneliness”), then on “Captain Jack” (“so you play your albums, and you smoke your pot ... but still you’re aching for the things that you haven’t got”): contempt for pot smokers. That’s right, old Billy boy, rehab MVP, has beef with reefer. What did we ever do to you, Billy?! Did we not have the energy to get up and dance around to your damn song in that piano bar and that’s why you hate us? Maybe the only reason we were able to sit through your incessant needling is because we were high. Maybe some of your straight-laced buddies will enjoy your preachy hits at the Amway Center this week, but we’ll be at home on the couch, listening to Queen just as God intended. – Abby Stassen

Synthwavers Boy Harsher are that uniquely “Southern gothic” (in every sense of the phrase) phenomenon: a cold sonic force that emerged from fetid, humid Southern climes. The duo of Jae Matthews (vocals) and Augustus Muller (electronics) emerged from their cybernetic womb in Savannah, Georgia, fully formed and programmed from the word go. Boy Harsher are a rush of crystalline, razor sharp electronics, pounding heartbeat drums and Matthews’ martial, commanding screams and confessions. A modern update on the classic Suicide/DAF/Kas Product template, then. The twosome may have cut their teeth in the noise/experimental scene (even playing International Noise Conference in Miami a time or two), but their sense of body rhythm and groove is impeccable. From their first demo (spin “Pain”) to their album on Atlanta’s DKA Records (Yr Body Is Nothing), it’s clear that now is the time on Sprockets when we dance. Sidebar: This is the only Florida show Philadelphia’s Profligate is playing; if top-shelf synth pop is your thing, darken Spacebar’s door. – Matthew Moyer

Zora Neale Hurston: A Theatrical Biography THEATER

This weekend’s Zora! Festival features a special theater engagement that bridges Zora Neale Hurston’s importance to both Eatonville and Harlem. New York City’s New Federal Theatre presented Zora Neale Hurston: PHOTO COURTESY DR. PHILLIPS CENTER A Theatrical Biography last year in celebration of Hurston’s 125th birthday, and this one-night-only production reunites that cast and crew. Elizabeth Van Dyke’s performance has received rave reviews for bringing both young and old versions of Hurston to vivid life. The cast is rounded out by Joseph Lewis Edwards, who plays four different men in Hurston’s life. The play flashes back to 1925, the year Hurston arrived in New York City and found a voice in the Harlem Renaissance. Incorporating readings of Hurston’s own works and her love of storytelling, the play highlights the difficulties Hurston encountered as an advocate of black culture and a staunch feminist – themes that still resonate. – TM 8 p.m. | Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man FILM

Leonard Cohen left us last year, as all our loves are bound to do, with a mixture of lingering regrets but a bounty of wonderful memories and even more lovely words. In the usual reexamination of an artist’s work after death, this charming documentary and musical love letter to Cohen from 2005 has been unearthed. It captures the third or fourth (fifty-seventh?) act in Cohen’s career, which was near biblical in terms of myth. To wit: Cohen, delving deeper into Zen Buddhism, entered the Mt. Baldy Zen Retreat for what became a five-year stay, to become an ordained Zen Buddhist monk. When the old man emerged from the mountain, Cohen soon found that his manager at the time had basically made off with all of his money. As befits a nascent Zen master, Cohen simply dusted himself off and hit the road for a lengthy series of tours. This film intersperses a series of introspective interviews from Cohen around this time alongside footage from an expansive musical tribute show – masterminded by Hal Willner – wherein performers the likes of Nick Cave, Antony, Jarvis Cocker, Rufus Wainright and Beth Orton paid homage to their dark lord. Cohen only makes a brief musical appearance, and though it’s an infinite bummer that he’s backed by a bloated U2, when he opens his mouth, you forget everything else. This screening is of a 35mm print of the doc; the ticket is worth it just for that. – MM 9:30 p.m. | Enzian Theater, 1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland | 407-629-1088 | enzian.org | $11

The Casualties MUSIC

Local skatepark designer and music enthusiast Tim Payne – you might remember him as the organizer of last summer’s Sleep benefit show for Pulse nightclub shooting victims – relates a story about how as a young lad he’d want to attend the annual Surf Expo industry shindig but never could afford an entry fee tailored to industry types and, well, just ended up sneaking in. Fast forward a few years later and Payne is paying it forward (or is that backward?) by bypassing the private parties and events that are part of the 2017 Surf Expo’s extracurricular doings by throwing their own Surf Expo after party at the Social, open to all. And just to keep it gritty, street punk bruisers the Casualties will be playing their tour-ending show at this event with thrashers Intoxicated along for the ride, and yeah, that’s gonna get sodden.

I am quite the follower on social media – Facebook and Twitter in particular. I make no trolling comments, no #MAGA hashtags; I just look with my male gaze. Like Laura Mulvey says, the male gaze is only natural. I’ve lost interest in pornography, so I use everyday pictures of women, typically selfies. It helps me to know the story behind the face and body. None of these pics are pornographic – just feelgood selfies by young women posted on social media. I don’t communicate with these people, because that would be creepy. I’m not worried about whether this is abnormal. I just wondered if people would be okay with this, if people were aware of behavior like mine when they post, and if I should ask these girls for their permission to wank to their selfies. Not Anthony Weiner So long as you’re wanking alone, wanking with a reasonable expectation of privacy, and not bothering anyone who isn’t a sex partner or a sex-advice professional with your wanking, NAW, you can wank to whatever you’d like – except for images of child rape, aka “child pornography.” You remind me of the proverbial shoe salesman with a foot fetish. (Full disclosure: proverb of mine, not a proverb of Proverbs.) Let’s say a guy working in a high-end shoe store has an intense attraction to feet. Is it inappropriate for him to get an obvious boner while helping women try on shoes? Of course it is. It would also be inappropriate for him to drool or pant – and it would be super inappropriate of him to ask the women he’s serving if he can jack off about their feet after his shift. But if he can be completely professional, if he can go eight hours without giving off any signs of secret perving, that guy can (and probably should) sell shoes. And he’s free to upload mental images to his spank bank for later – we’re all free to do so, NAW, and it’s only creepy if the people whose images we’re uploading/repurposing are made aware that we’re uploading/repurposing them. So in answer to your question, NAW, under no circumstances should you ask the girls whose selfies you’re wanking to for their permission. People who post revealing pictures to social media – men and women – know they run the risk of their pics being wanked to by random strangers. But there’s a difference between knowing some stranger might be wanking to your pics and hearing from one of those wanking strangers. Being asked by a wanker for permission to wank drags the social-media poster into the wanker’s fantasies – and not only is that creepy, NAW, it’s also no way to show your gratitude. If some stranger is going to make your day by posting a hot pic, why would you ruin theirs – or make them think twice 54

about ever posting a revealing pic again – by telling them exactly what you’re doing while you gaze at their pics? If you saw a woman on the street that you thought was hot, you wouldn’t stop her to ask if you could wank about her later. You would no more ask a stranger that question than you would flash your penis at her because, NAW, it would constitute sexual harassment. (Promise me you wouldn’t do either of those things.) You would instead walk on by, minding your own business while discreetly filing her mental image away in your spank bank. You should behave similarly on social media: Don’t harass, don’t send unsolicited dick pics, and don’t ask for permission to wank. Finally, NAW, your question inspired me to read feminist film theorist Laura Mulvey’s 1975 essay “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” in which she coined the phrase “male gaze.” Mulvey describes the male gaze as phallocentric, patriarchal, pervasive, and socially constructed – she never describes it as natural. A problem has cropped up for me ever since the reports of Donald Trump’s pissing Russian hookers made the news. Every time someone on social media tries to make a comment about how disgusting that is, someone else jumps in and scolds that person for “kink shaming.” The problem for me is that by normalizing my piss fetish, you’re making it dull for me. Piss was one of the few things that even the kink community found disgusting. I now find myself looking for different porn because, eh, a lesbian pissing in the mouth of another lovely lady on a train platform? No big whoop anymore, it seems. My polyamorous boyfriend and I found each other without knowing we shared a love for piss. Neither of us had ever had someone to enjoy that with before. The one thing the piss porn I’ve been watching for half my life completely failed to capture is how goddamn amazing it is to embrace and make out with a person you love dearly while you’re both covered in each other’s piss. If you personally don’t want to kink shame, that’s fine. I get it. But everyone, please stop telling your friends not to kink shame so that my boyfriend and I can get back to the business of pissing on each other and feeling disgusting about it and horny because of it. Pissed Off Slut Wife

I have grappled with this same conundrum, POSW. If a kink is boner- or slicker-inducing to some precisely because it’s so transgressive and disgusting to most, efforts to normalize said kink – by shaming kink shamers, for instance – could piss away that kink’s power to induce all those bonJAN. 25-31, 2017 ● orlandoweekly.com

ers and slickers. But I’m confident that the kink shamers will continue to have the upper hand for decades to come, despite the best efforts of the kink-shamer shamers. So your kink will continue to induce enough revulsion and disgust generally to keep you and your boyfriend feeling disgusting and horny in perpetuity. Listening to pundits discuss the president on the radio, I was inspired by your brilliant acronym (DTMFA) to yell, “Impeach the motherfucker already!” I’d love to see a line of bumper stickers and T-shirts bearing that sensible message: ITMFA! We need a shorthand for the obvious – think of the boost to productivity we’d get if we could cut half-hour conversations about the president to five simple letters: ITMFA! I appeal to you to bring this acronym into our everyday vocabulary. Dumped My Motherfucker Already DEAR READERS: DMMA wrote me that letter in 2006. She wasn’t referring to Donald Trump, our current awful president, but George W. Bush, our last truly awful president. I thought DMMA’s idea was great, I put up a website (impeachthemotherfuckeralready. com), and I raised more than $20,000 selling ITMFA lapel pins and buttons. I donated half the money to the ACLU and the other half to two Democratic candidates for the US Senate. (My readers helped turf Rick Santorum out of office!) I didn’t think I’d see a worse president than George W. Bush in my lifetime. But here we are. So I’m bringing back my line of ITMFA buttons and adding T-shirts and, yes, hats to the ITMFA collection. Go to impeachthemotherfuckeralready.com or, if that’s too much typing, itmfa.org, to order some ITMFA swag for yourself or someone you love. All the money raised will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood and the International Refugee Assistance Project. We’re in for a long and ugly four years, folks. Let’s raise some money for groups fighting Trump, let’s bring ITMFA back into our everyday vocabulary, and let’s remember that we – people who voted against Trump, people who want to see him out of office as quickly as possible – are the majority.
