Flattering

The Zen c$ Gott

When a student pilot and his instructor experienced engine trouble over Boca Raton, Florida, they lined up for an emergency landing on the first fairway of the municipal golf course. Four golfers remained on the fairway, however, forcing the Piper Aero to veer off into a tree. "Everything would have been OK if those damned golfers would have moved out of the way," instructor Scott Slinko complained. "We were coming down, and they weren't moving, so I went for the tree." The foursome said they never noticed the plane. "Concentration, that's the name of the game," Irv Brown, one of the golfers, explained, "We were concentrating."

Paper

Imitations

When a celebrated exhibition of paintings by the Dutch master Vermeer opened in The Hague, another exhibition opened in Rotterdam that featured Vermeer forgeries by Hans van Meegeren. According to The European, the painter, who earned millions with his versions of works by 17th-century artists, turned to forgery after cridcs called a 1917 exhibition of his own work "unoriginal." One customer, Baron van Beuningen, bought a van Meegeren fake "Last Supper" after selling 19 authentic works by such masters as Tintoretto and Goya to raise the money.

Quick

Cash

In Finland, a computer system that was designed to shorten the length of time people had to wait at automated teller machines to withdraw cash turned out to be too fast. In some cases, the security system in the program allowed customers only 15 seconds to retrieve their cash before keeping it or their bank card. Automatia, the company that developed the system after customers complained about having to wait in sub-zero temperatures, said it would add five seconds to the length of time before the security system acts. •

To fight a severe drop in tax collection in Argentina's Mendoza province, economy minister Aldo Ostropolski said that in lieu of cash the government would take shoes, brooms, computer diskettes and other goods that could be used to keep provincial agencics running. Short of rubles to pay workers, managers of Russia's Enikmash machine-building plant in Voronezh began paying them in brassieres. The newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda reported that the company traded some of its industrial products, which are in low demand, for a shipment of Chinese-made bras.

CURRENTLY SPEECHLESS The review of Currently Nameless {Seven Days, April 3) is what's causing me to write. Oughtn't the originality of any group with a "name" like Currently Nameless be questioned? What a shame to have to settle for something so "non-committal" and from a language with so very precious few choices. Speaking of words, the phrase "eponymously nameless" is absurd. Could you and the band please get some words? And by the way, "noncommittal" is not hyphenated. Nowadays the trend is toward leaving out hyphens, not adding them. — Guy Henderson Burlington W H A T A JOKER Well, it looks like Peter Freyne wk is out of what few ideas he had. The only thing left to do is resort to the old tactic that is used by his colleagues in the media business, "name calling." ^Immgm The saddest thing about Freyne's tirade on Dennis te. Delaney in your April 3 issue is Cjl 1 that Freyne actually thinks he's funny. While in reality, Freyne is newsprint's answer to Howard Stern and Pauly Shore. The comments that he blurts offer as much insight into politics as a broken toaster. Dennis Delaney is a person whose actions are done in the best interest of the people of Vermont, while Peter Freyne consistently provides Vermonters with something to line their kitty litter boxes with. Peter Freyne loves to try to tell jokes. Yet for those of us who have the misfortune of reading his column, the joke is on us. — Darren J. Rillovick Colchester *

CONSERVATISM UNLEASHED? I understand the importance of having a conservative voice among the columns in Seven Days, but why does it have to be someone who lacks the ability to intelligently articulate conservative concerns, and instead limits himself to spouting venomous McCarthy-era slanders ("ungodly communism," "Stalinist commune," "the forces of darkness")? There are plenty of conservative people who

Letters Policy: SEVEN DAYS

don't feel, as Freyne does, that any gain by poor children must necessarily be a loss by rich otfes. Presumably in the world according to Freyne, this would be a better place if child-labor laws had never been enacted ("the status quo would be threatened. Anarchy unleashed"...). If I want to read the incoherent rantings of a militant conservative, I can buy Soldier of Fortune. Please try to find a' columnist who can intelligently serve both liberal and conservative viewpoints, and not make a mockery of them both. — Shaun Stephens Burlington STOP OBJECTIFYING W O M E N Over the last few weeks it has been impossible to be insulated from hearing or reading anything about rape. We have been subject to grisly recounts of recent rapes. We have been subject to numerous articles trying to examine why men rape. And we have been subject to reading how our safe haven of Vermont is not all that safe. It is extremely important that we continue to expose the reality of just how widespread sexually violent crimes have become in the United States, and to create an environment where women who are violated can report the crime whether it is against "friend," relative or stranger without fearing the repercussions of being victimized all over again by the legal system. I commend Seven Days for attempting to answer some questions for us ("Why Men Rape," April 10). I agree with the statement by Gary Martin, "The vast majority objectify the women they rape, which therapists say allows them to inflict harm without remorse." Genevieve Jacobs poignantly ends the article by saying "We have a predatory context for relationships that prevents men from connecting with women in a loving and trusting manner." [Until that changes, we are all the losers.] I guess we wont expect any changes too soon. Three pages following that quote, the readers are invited to be "entertained" by Misty Mountains, a Penthouse centerfold at Club Fantasy. Can we not expect change if the "almight buck" is involved? Did the money from this advertisement override any social responsibility Seven Days may have to its readers? Isn't this a grotesque example of just where some of the problems lie? So, Seven Days, can we expect that you will continue to advertise the objectification of women? Please assist all of us in doing what we can to turn some of the horrific statistics of sexually violent crimes around, so maybe Vermont can someday become that safe haven we thought we had. — Karen Whalen Burlington

^^ ed by Albert Walker and Ire'lano Malomo. One Stone is not, as critics hailed 1977's Two Sevens Clash, one of the best reggae albums ever made — for one thing, it lacks the legendary riddim. kings Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. But that's not to say these studio musicians slack. There's no thunderous undercurrent here; instrumentation is right-on but minimal, showcasing the vocals as it should. Hill's talent for spiritual/militant song-writing and colorful imagery hasn't abated, though the majority of tunes on One Stone are lopers. "Tribal War" is more upful, tempo-wise, and contains the interesting vision of ladies marching "to make a big war with their big spoon." Hill continues his rastafied call to nonviolence, love and unity, and it still sounds sweet. Culture sings for another cause — the Peace & Justice Center in Burlington — this Saturday at the Memorial Auditorium Annex.

S O L I D C I T I Z E N , RELEASE (self-released CD) - Add J ^ to Burlington's Good Citizen the Solid variety. This trio up and left its , rj native New York City to put down some roots in Vermont — they now ^^^^ live in Bolton Valley. Solid Citizen calls itself alternative rock, but Release f,^^ ' suggests that "rock" is not quite the right word. I don't know what is. I O / The five songs here are slow, substantial., moody, majestic. The sound is flip # ; both spare and orchestral, sometimes heavy, but not bombastic, thanks 1 - „ to sophisticated arrangements and players who seem to really listen to \ % each other. Can't call this progressive rock, can't call it New Age — there's -%-CV* not a synthesizer in sight. The only studio supplementation, besides soaring ' jazz-metal solo overdubs by guitarist Eric Liner, comes from the atmospheric ^^^ notes of a cello (Peter Brown) in "Wasted," and producer/engineer Chuck Eller's Oberheim vibrations on the near-catatonic "Adjusted." On the aptly titled "Open Wide," Liner bends guitar notes into yawning chasms, met with the rhythmic assurance of of drummer Andrew Fisch and bassist Craig Adams. The latter also contributes strong vocals that can soar or drop to an intimate whisper. You won't catch these guys getting any speeding tickets, but they definitely know how to drive. Welcome the new Citizens to Burlington this Friday at Metronome, with Wide Wail.

As a consequence, Only True Lovers Cry has an oddly retro feel — you can imagine Patti Page or The Maguire Sisters singing a few of these. My mom would like this. For my money, the best thing here is not the tear-jerker title song but the starkly haunting "When You Call" — I can imagine it in a smoky arrangement by Sade. Otherwise, this is a floral bouquet of an album — pretty, cheery and sweetly arranged. Meg & Robyn celebrate its release this Friday at the Williston Coffee House. Jjgfo

seductive advantage of mainstream distribution. Osborne worked with a team that had produced Cyndi Lauper, Sophie B. Hawkins and Patty Smythe, and worried that they might push her too far into the "acceptable" realm of girl pop. But two months — and a little hypnosis, a little dreamwork — later, Relish emerged. Despite its more polished, big-studio sound, Osborne's blues, soul, gospel, country and rock 'n' roll roots still show. W i t h the notable exception of Bazilian's "One of Us" and a handful of cover tunes, the writing on Relish is a reflection of Osborne's sensibilities and mini-saga song structures. Her themes tend to come in dialectics about the mysterious workings of the human condition, in haunted souls skirting the perimeters of despair and redemption. Like many singers before her, she strikes a balance between purity and profanity. "For me, that tension between the sacred and the sexual and the sensual — I find that all those things overlap," she says. "It's not like you can draw a neat little line down the center and say, 'This is the religious part, this is the worldy part.' I don't see it in those terms." If Osborne worried that "One of Us" would misrepresent her to the world — she initially wanted to leave it off the album — she can't be too worried anymore. "It was like, what am I gonna do?

His haunting voice blends Western harmonics with African rhythms, and mixes French with African dialects.

think the rest of [Relish] is pretty strong, so I don't mind it too much that it's sort of a back door for people to come into the record." That "back door" has included positions on both adult alternative and modern rock radio charts. But when people experience Osborne onstage — and her blistering band, led by guitarist/mandolinist Jack Petruzzelli — they find the front door, too. Even the sweet "One of Us" takes a more aggressive tone live. "I want to direct the world around me, create this microcosm or something," Osborne concedes. "But it's more than that. Sometimes things come through you, not a product of your ego and your consciousness trying to impose its own vision. There are times when I kind of go into a trance when I'm onstage...almost like putting yourself at the disposal of God. It's just being like a lightning rod and letting things come through you." •

Schappy has airbrushed other cars as well — including a van for Burlington developer Bob Miller — and even a jet ski. "I like for people to know that I'm an artist," he says.

in South Burlington. Learned's store also sells those neon lights you've seen glowing eerily beneath some cars. "They're not a real popular item because they don't operate well in the wintertime," notes Learned. "In the winter, slush gets into them, and they freeze and smash." Bummer. More apropos for frigid Vermont winters: the remote car starter. Basically, this turns on your car's ignition from up to 500 feet away — sort of like what the Clapper does for your TV. Imagine being able to wake up, press a button, then take a nice hot shower while your car warms up. All slacker rumors to the contrary, it's older people who tend to buy this stuff, Learned insists. Their tuned-in children, meanwhile, are buying car stereos. "The market has changed a lot," testifies Jon Merrill of Great Northern Stereo in South Burlington. "Now you have younger kids. It ranges anywhere from 17 on up." The typical customer spends from $200 to $400 dollars for a

basic system, called a "head unit," explains Merrill. "But you can get crazy insane with those." Going "crazy insane" i.e., spending heaps of money — is what gives birth to those "yo boy" cars with the occupants moving in time to music blasting from behemoth speakers that take up all the trunk space. There's not much room in Schappy's cat-eyed Fiero, and he admits that plenty of people

But those cat's eyes are about to get a new look: a menacing stare courtesy of fiber-optic lighting. "So they'll glow at night," he explains. "It'll be really cook" And that, of course, is what every car should be. •

can also learn the basics of bike repair. "The age range is 17 to 70," he says. "We have a man 70-plus who comes in to repair his old three-speed." Brassard profiles the typical Planetary customer as someone who has fixed a bike before but doesn't own tools. "People who like to tinker" account for much of the shop's business.

P C operates as a satellite of the Ski Rack, the downtown bike emporium. It was founded by Glenn Eames, who's something of a biking historian and a keen proselytizer. Eames' inspiration was Freewheel, a bike repair co-op in San Francisco that he frequented in the early 1980s while working as a bicycle messenger. He wanted to open a

Vermont version of Freewheel soon after moving to Burlington in 1986. But Eames decided he first needed to acquire some experience in running a business, so he took a job at the Ski Rack, eventually becoming a co-owner of the Main Street outlet. Planetary Cycles strives to re-create the cooperative arrangement that prevailed at

maintenance

Freewheel in San Francisco. Annual memberships ($35 for adults; $25 for students) entitle P C customers to reduced rates for self-repairs and for the oneto-one instruction that Brassard and manager Charlie W h i t n e y provide upon request. Members also get a 10 percent discount on parts purchased at Planetary Cycles or the Ski Rack. "We're very much into the

philosophy of self-initiated repairs," says Eames. He sees biking as complementary to an overall attitude of self-sufficiency, insisting that the world would be a happier place If more people pedaled bikes and fewer people drove cars. In Eames' vision, bicycles will become accessible to everyone. He's made a modest start toward, that goal by establishing a "white bike" project. Using recovered but unclaimed bikes donated by the Burlington Police Department, Eames makes them available to any C i t y Hall employee who wants to take a lunchtime spin on a sunny spring day or pedal between home and office. Ten white bikes are there for the taking in a room in C i t y Hall's basement. None have disappeared. Eames would like to procure funding for the program and expand it to include all C i t y employees. And then, he'd like to scatter white bikes all over the city so that anyone needing a quick, free means of getting from here to there could just hop on and ride. As Utopian as the scheme may seem, it's actually operating in Madison, Wisconsin and in a few European cities, including Amsterdam. If Eames has his way, it will operate here. "We revere the bicycle," says a promotional flyer for Planetary Cycles, "as the finest alternative to motorized transportation, a pathway to improved health and able to be maintained by even the most mechanically illiterate rider."

ALL WORK AND PLAY For Vermont playwright Yeaton, all life's a stage

ermont artists can stop waiting to exhale. Despite doomsday predictions, the Vermont Council on the Arts was not axed from the 1996 state budget. It took a long campaign to convince the Legislature that arts monies make a difference. But advocates might have saved some time if they'd just told lawmakers one story — Dana Yeaton's. He's the nationally ranked Middlebury playwright who traces his success to a modest 1987 V C A grant which made him believe in himself.

"I got a needed boost at a critical time," Yeaton says. "It made me think, 'I must be a writer.' That's a big part of what a small amount of money does when it comes at the right time." What's happened since is enough to silence any arts-funding detractor. Not only has Yeaton become an established presence in Vermont's schools — developing acting, writing and technical programs for young people throughout the state — his plays have drawn attention from all the right places. In 1993 alone, he received Manhattan productions of Alice

in Love and Helen at Risk and a Russian run of To Bed

with

Betsy. But it was last year that Yeaton became a hot commodi-

It was a chance meeting with a grade-school friend in 1991 that inspired award-winning M i d d l e b u r y playwright D a n a Yeaton to write J u m p Cut. A car accident had damaged Yeaton's former classmatc memory and altered his personality. Shaken and intriguec by the encounter, Yeaton start

ty, when he received the coveted Actor's Theatre of Louisville Heideman Award for playwrighting. Filmmaker Jay Craven has since enlisted him to collaborate on a new screenplay, calling his plays "versatile, imaginative and original." Vermont Stage C o m p a n y made Yeaton its first Playwright-in-Residence, and next week will co-produce the premiere of his revised Jump Cut, as part of the Flynn's OnStage Series. V S C is also planning a tour of Yeaton's next play — working title, Promised Land— before he's even written it. "Dana is one of the state's strongest playwrights," says Flynn Theatre artistic director Philip Bither. "He's earning a regional and national reputation and he's committed to the state and to what it is building culturally." New Hampshireborn Yeaton comes by both his work ethic and creativity honestly. His mechanical engineer father c a m e from what Yeaton terms "a Yankee farming family where silence passes for strength and intelligence." Dana's mother, however, was "a talker, storyteller and occasional liar. She was one of those people who could tell you about her morning and make it sound like the most exciting adventure ever." he recalls.

form, Yeaton had no interest in theater until college. W h i l e getting his poetry bachelor's at Middlebury College, he acted in a few plays "as a fun thing to do." But it wasn't until his 1979 junior year in Scotland, when he saw a Samuel Beckett play, that something clicked. "I went, 'Oh, m y god,'" Yeaton recalls. " M y journal from that year is full of little scenes and dialogues. After years of squeezing out these painful poems, I found out if I wrote dialogue, I could write a lot more." His first public attempt — a rough 1985 adaptation of J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey — caught the eye of thenMiddlebury Playwright-inResidence Doug Anderson, who took Yeaton to lunch and "told me what to do to be a successful playwright." W h i l e he worked days as a preschool teacher, Yeaton wrote one-acts, entered contests and applied for grants. It started paying off in 1987, when the V C A gave him the first of three fellowships on the strength of his writing. T h e Council also signed him on for the Arts in Education program — a stint which turned into Yeaton's eight-year involvement in elementary- and high-school theater training. At 38, Yeaton leads a life most artists only dream of — he makes his living with his craft. Anyone who's tried it knows that lifestyle requires a vigilant eye for opportunity, an often dizzying patchwork of jobs, and personal sacrifice. But Yeaton is not merely surviving, he's downright stable. Married for 16 years, and a father of two in the suburbs, Yeaton looks more like an easygoing exec than a denizen of the drama world. "If I were a single guy in a garret, I probably would have written more plays by now," Yeaton says. "But it doesn't feel like a sacrifice to me. There's always part of me saying 'get this down.' Whatever I'm doing feels like a part of playwrighting." • impending operation to cure his epilepsy. H o w and w h y he attempts to record his life is revealed onstage through live and taped action.

A R T I S T S WITH A CAUSE Sexual assault as the subject of an exhibit could elicit some powerful — if predictable — works of art. However, "The No Excuse for Abuse Art Show," presented by the Women's Rape Crisis Center and currently filling the Daily Planet restaurant in Burlington, wisely does not rely on the numbing, sensational or manipulative. Rather, it's an exhibit in which the majority of work is done by artists who support the cause of ending sexual assault, rather than produce works which directly address it. Cases in point: a brilliant floral pastel by Bonnie Acker; a cheery still life by Janet Bossange; a vivid, semi-abstract, semi-figurative vision in oil by Anne Cooke. Consequently, those works which do address sexual assault have the room, as it were, in which to do so. The solarium grouping is most pointed: A series of five autobiographical, mixed-media works by Montpelier artist Amy Brandt addres her memories of and recovery from sexual abuse as a child. Xeroxes of childhood photos and child-sized hands lend poignancy to these simple collages. Anchoring tthis room — if not the entire show — is Bridget Nardiello Smiths black-and-white painting in Roy Lichtenstein's comic-book style, entitled "Rape is No Illusion.' The acrylic painting was produced for this occasion, and features a line drawing of a woman's head, blindfolded. With 20 contributing artists, the show is too large to mention all of them here. A few other notables include the large-scale acrylic painting, "The Boo Boo Series #3," by Jean E. Waltz, in which a young girl with a leg in a cast curls herself amid folds of sheets in bed; Carol MacDonald's "The Wound," in which a bloodred wrapped stick is trapped by huge staples on a piece of black-painted driftwood; the cryptic pastel-and-pencil drawing by Elizabeth Mead entitled "Jen's Egg," in which a naked woman bends over backwards, literally, and supports a bird's nest on her chest. Eggs appear to drop from her own crotch as she contorts unnaturally. The drawing speaks, if oddly, to the myriad impossible expectations set before women in this society.

Perrault perfects pedestrian

t wasn't the set for Oklahoma that led JeanPierre Perrault to wander, clapping, down the aisle of the Flynn last Wednesday. Or to climb up onstage and start stomping — down front by the orchestra, up stage by the back wall — on suspect sections of floor. Black-clad and booted against the sunny backdrop of a midwestern musical, the French-Canadian choreographer looked like a crazy cowboy who had lost his horse somewhere between Burlington and Montreal. Those who find themselves at the Flynn Theatre on Friday night will understand his investigation from the first footfall. W h e n your soundtrack consists of 32 pairs of marching Doc Martins, acoustics are key. Joe has moved hundreds of spectators, and busted a few floors, in its 13-year history. And now, after five sell-out revivals in Montreal, the wildly popular dance piece is hoofing it to Vermont. "I have refused Paris and places like that," Perrault says without a trace of pretension. "The

about their own society." As an artist, Perrault has gone both with the grain and against it. He b /ew up in Montreal, where he was trained in modern dance and ballet at the Groupe de la Place Royale. As a dancer, he worked his way up the company and eventually served as co-director with founder Jeanne Renaud. But as a choreographer, he felt stifled by the prevailing "gorgeous feet, thin body" aesthetic. "I was doing very well, getting good reviews, but I was not satisfied with where my work was going," he recalls. It was in London, working with non-dancers, that Perrault discovered the power of pedestrian movement — "the basics of how we move" still inform his loose-limbed vocabulary of walks, falls and turns. But the result is not the slow-moving stuff of early post-modernists, but a high-energy locomotion that is as structured as ballet, as entertaining as tap. Perrault traces his fancy footwork to Spanish dance, and a north Indian dance tradition known as katak that makes per-

scious." He wants the audience to "feel" the movement. "Like in Joe" he explains, "when the people are crashing down the ramp, there is solidarity with the audience." Perrault never expected m u c h of an audience for Joe — he made it in 6 0 hours with a group of students at the University of Montreal. "All of a sudden we were getting stand-

After trying to retire the piece several times, Perrault seems to have accepted that his master work will not go away. Joe bounces back not only because it is a remarkably inventive example of post-modern dancemaking, but because it illustrates contemporary alienation with Orwellian honesty via a compelling mob of androgynous Joes in hats, raincoats and heavy black work boots. "It talks to people in a very elemental way about their lives," Perrault explains, "and

cussive use of the floor. His emphasis on eye contact is derived from a dance study in Bali. His anthropological awareness, from a lifelong interest in watching people. "You have to be open to everything, to what is good and strong in everything," he says, looking like a cheerful mixture of Rudolph Nureyev and Elton John. Perrault came to dance because he was interested in contemporary art — his selfdesigned sets, and eye for surreal imagery, set a precedent for visual drama that has developed into a Quebec aesthetic. But he dislikes its extreme form — dance theater. Perrault believes the "strength of dance is as a physical m e m o r y to the uncon-

Vermont filmmaker David Giancola is ready for action s a person w h o actually gets paid to go to the movies and then critique the actors and filmmakers, I have a special admiration for David Giancola. After all, the 26-year-old Rutland-based filmmaker has succeeded at something the world's legendary directors have surely dreamed of doing: He's come up with a w a y to make guys like me irrelevant. Months before the first reviewer watched a print of

Giancola's Diamond Run — even more months before anyone purchased a ticket to it, the director's latest shoestring opus had already made its money. T h e secret? It's called "direct-tovideo," and Giancola has the distinction of being the first Vermont filmmaker to crack the market. After completing Tangents, his 1993 sci-fi adventure, Giancola mailed videocassettes of the picture to every distribu-

tor he could track down, eventually collecting in return no fewer than 70 letters of rejection. But he only needed one to take the bait, and that one turned out to be a Los Angeles company called Artists View Entertainment. Last spring the young director met with the distribution firm's president and hammered out a deal that would land Tangents (later renamed Time Chasers) in countries as far-flung as Turkey and Brazil. "It was very L.A.-like," Giancola recalls. "We sat around the table in a Chinese restaurant, and within four hours we had the story developed." The Vermont native has carved a career path that has little in common with that of the classic university-bred filmmaker — another reason w h y I admire him. Giancola didn't bother with film school, preferring to just get down to business. Secondly, he was smart enough to realize that the business of being a Vermont-based independent filmmaker was unlikely to be profitable any time soon. Giancola's father is one of the largest landowners in Rutland County, but where many a young scion with a vision would think nothing of living off m o m and dad while waiting to be discovered by Hollywood, Giancola preferred to pay his own way. And, while on the road to a career as a commercial filmmaker, what better way to pay the bills than to start a business filming commercials? Edgewood Entertainment opened its doors eight years ago. It's allowed Giancola both to support his expensive habit

and to hone his skills along the way. "I'd l i k e to say the name had something to do with being on the cutting edge," he admitted in a recent interview, "but Edgewood Drive is where m y parents live." These days the company produces 6 0 0 television spots a year and houses some of the state's most sophisticated digital editing equipment. If you have cable and subscribe to one of the major systems in this area, you have undoubtedly seen the results of Giancola's film theories put into action. And action is the operative word where this guy's feature aspirations are concerned. W h i l e fellow Vermonters like Jay Craven ( W h e r e the Rivers Flow North) and John O'Brien {Man With a Plan) labor for a stake on the medium's high ground, Giancola has no

qualms about taking an arguably lower road and paying a professional stunt man to drive a car down it really, really fast — before flipping it over a few times and blowing it up. In Diamond Run, things blow up a lot. In this story of a jewelry heist gone sour, a hard-bitten New York C i t y cop loses a partner in the course of the robbery, then develops an unlikely romance with a shapely thief (who just happens to hightail it

to her Vermont country cabin). Giancola's second full-length work is a robustly crafted genre effort which cleverly maximizes its minimal resources — the budget was just $ 1 2 0 , 0 0 0 . W h i l e entry-level action films aren't exactly m y personal cup of Lipton, fans of the genre who have also previewed the picture firmly believe Diamond Run is nothing less than the bee's knees. Not that it matters. T h e local engagements allow Vermonters to witness and celebrate the fruits of a neighbor's hard work — a function as social as it is commercial. Even if no one bought a ticket, Diamond Run would be a hit — it's already on its w a y to 22 countries and countless video stores, where people who get a big kick out of Steven Seagal will undoubtedly love it. After all, that's w h y guys like Sylvester Stallone get paid $20 million a movie: T h e foreign market for mainstream American action fare is colossal, and getting more gargantuan by the day. Rather than sit around and gripe about the unfairness of it all, Giancola's identified the phenomenon that makes such skyrocketing star salaries possible and figured out a way to make it work for him. "Our goal," he explains, "is to constantly increase the budget and the size of the movies we make. T h e money we get from this movie will feed the next, and that will contribute to the movie after that, and each time we will get better at what we do and our budgets will allow us to do more." • D i a m o n d Run will open

Review FEAR***

Clueless meets Straw Dogs in the latest from James Foley — a twisted, turbo-charged tale of puppy love gone rabid, and easily the greatest crazy-stranger movie since the original (no, not 1987 s Fatal Attraction-, the genre actually dates back to Clint Eastwood's Play Misty For Me, made in 1971). Reese Witherspoon stars in a role that screams give me Alicia Silverstorte! She's a bright, blond high school student with bucks and a broken home — a miniskirted centrafuge of teenage angst, family dysfunction and identity problems. Which, naturally, makes her a LOOK WHO'S STALKING Marky prime target for the movie's creep, a monstertruck of a punk from Mark goes starky stark raving nuts in the wrong side of the tracks, played nicely by Mark "song in his his latest thespian effort. heart, pants around his-ankles" Wahlberg. In your run-of-the-mill crazy-stranger film the psycho initially appears well-adjusted. One of the beauties of Fear is that we can pick up early on the same warning signs that alert the girl's father to potential danger. As an architect whose businesses on the brink of collapse, "William Peterson is perfect as the modern divorced dad. On one hand he's wracked with guilt and wants to seem like a good guy; on the other, he's seen enough of his daughter's new boyfriend between business trips to make him want to lock her in her room for life. As we all know, though, situations like this tend to run their course. Their families couldn't keep Romeo and Juliet from screwing up each others lives, and Peterson doesn't have a whole lot more luck here. The eventual result is a blood-soaked confrontation between good and evil as hysterical as it is apochryphal. What's not to like? Courtesy of screenwriter Christopher (Last of the Mohicans) Crowe, the dialogue is smart and sassy, Foley's direction here is his finest to date, and the young actors comport themselves like old pros. The bottom line: The film transcends its loopy genre. Except for a marginally diffused climax, Fear is so good its scary. ^

BY ROB BRE2SNY ARIZS (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): How do you feel about cosmic jokes? Are you one of those paradox-loving folks who can appreciate them for their priceless teachings even as they make your whole soul feel like a bumped funny bone? I hope so, because fete has a virtual stand-up routine full of cosmic jokes lined up for you in the months ahead. I kid you not when I say that the harder you laugh, the less it'll sting. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): You may have to travel all over creation to fall in love with an asset that's been too close to appreciate. You might have to lose your faith in order to attract the experiences that'll revive your )ur Faith faith:and pump it up twice as strong as ever. It's possible you may even have to act completely unlike yourself so as to provoke the reactions necessary to teach you how to be a better lover. Are you ready for the stickiest, trickiest week of the year? GEMINI (May 21 -June 20): While enjoying a deep meditation on your future, I was surprised to discover that you'll soon be communing with die archetype of the pearl. We modern savages regard the pearl primarily as just another glossy emblem of material wealth, but for many cultures in many eras, it has been the embodiment of feminine wisdom, hidden genius and spiritual balm. I've got to say that I'm hesitant to discuss such esoteric matters in a mere newspaper column. Without getting too graphic about the sacred revelation coming your way, let me just say this. Something that's irritated you for a long time will show you the way to a moist and beautiful truth that can, if you take care of it, sweeten your life forever. CANCCR (June 21-July 22): The New World's first slave rebellion happened exactly 470 years ago this week, when kidnapped Africans on the island of Hispaniola rose up against their Spanish oppressors. To celebrate the hellraising, rabble-rousing righteousness of your current astrological aspects, I suggest you draw inspiration from those heroes. Revolt against any circumstance that's turned you into a virtual slave — whether the slavemaster is someone you depend on or is no one else but the big bad judge in your own brain.

L£0 (July 23-Aug. 22): If your life were a TV series, your likelihood of winning an Emmy would be soaring but your Nielson ratings would be sagging. Your sponsors would be pressuring you to cut out some of the artistic crap and throw in more of the kind of cliches that couch potatoes can feel sentimental about. I'm begging you, though, to stave off the arbiters of the lowest common denominator. Ihave an intuition that if you resist the temptation to water yourself down for a little while longer, you'll please your toughest critics and your ratings will start to climb.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I can hardly believe-I've neglected to tease you about what a love nut you've been lately. I guess it's because you've earned my reverent respect with your tough new wisdom. Against all. odds, you've actually figured out how great love can be if you don't expect it to be a panacea. It's just another example of the ringing rewards that can come your way when you're willing to drop your obsession with perfection. Care to try for yet another stirring triumph in the same vein? All you've got to lose are your illusions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This would be a perfect time to elope, even if it's with the person you're already mated to. For that matter, it would be a great week to wear a wedding dress everywhere you go, even if you have no one to marry and even if you're a guy. At least, for Gods sake, do something that'll symbolize your desire to concentrate on intimacy with a fierce (and fun) new intensity. Throw rice at yourself. Take listening lessons. Read — and try the exercises in — Margo Anand's The Art of Sexual Ecstasy or Charles and Caroline Muir's Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What critic Alexander Woollcott once said about Scorpio Katherine Hepburn is true about you in the next few days: You'll run the emotional gamut from A to B. That might have been an insult to Hepburn, but its actually quite lucky for you. Tnis week should not, after all, be crammed full of gooey, complicated feelings; it should be packed with clear thinking and discriminating honesty. There's no better way to prepare for the deluge of passions that'll be raining down for the next 40 days and 40 nights.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the old myths, dragons are often portrayed as being the owners of fantastic caches of jewels, gold, and talismans — which they never use. They're too wrapped up in hoarding their treasure to ever spend it on anything fun or adventurous or educational. Sometimes when I watch children play, they remind me of dragons. A five-year- old can be so intent on not sharing a toy with another kid that he doesn't even play with it himself. Why am I bringing this up? I'm hoping these hints will keep you from making a similar mistake. This is one time when giving your inner child free reign could turn you into a dragon that squanders your wealth.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A Capricorn I know has a recurring dream which captures your current predicament. She dreams she walks into a room with a picture window. There's a table draped with white linen, on which sits a vase holding a single red rose. Through the window, my friend sees a massive mountain that fills the horizon. War breaks out in her heart. She loves but also hates the vulnerable, transitory beauty of the rose. It weakens her to look at it. She willfully turns her gaze away, peering instead toward the mountain, which inspires her to be stone-strong and immutable. This dream makes me sad. I wish I could astral-project myself into her dream and implore her to focus on the rose and the mountain together.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A worried call came in to the hodine recently. A reader had heard an astrologer who prophesied danger for February 7, 1997, when there'll be a massive conjunction of planets in Aquarius — a cosmic event supposedly "unseen in 18,000 years." The result, according to the doomsayer, would be swarms of terrible earthquakes. All I've got to say is: what a crock. More awesome gatherings of planets occurred in January 1994 and November 1995, and we didn't see any "earth changes." Please, people, immunize yourself against this brand of millenial fever. Don't let it distract you from the real -— but much subder—- wonders and marvels that'll be arriving in the years ahead. This week you'll get a great chance to practice telling the difference between superstitious magic and m*/magic. /
