EDITOR’S NOTE CLOWNS, JACK-O-LANTERNS AND ONE BIG “THRILLER” We have more than a few things that go bump in the night in this week’s Boise Weekly. For starters, BW’s Harrison Berry chats with folks from Clowns of Idaho (yes, that’s really a thing) about their uneasiness over the growing popularity of scary clowns in film and TV. People’s exhibit No. 1? Pennywise, the terrorizing, sewer-dwelling clown from It. “Just in the past couple of years, this scary clown idea seems to have [caught] fire, not just in the Treasure Valley, but in the United States and the world,” a local clown told BW. Read Harrison’s fascinating examination of what he calls the “It factor” on page 6.

BW contributing writer Cassidy Richey has a fun story on page 7, where she tells us about a Boise group joining an international effort to re-break the world record for a flash mob recreation of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

On page 8, BW’s Lex Nelson chats with local artist Brandy Davis, a competitor on The Food Network’s Halloween Wars, about her impressive pumpkin-carving skills. Davis has carved out a nice living with some spectacular displays at local farms and the Village at Meridian.

The on page 9, I introduce you to Davey Collins and Ravin Patterson, co-stars of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the NightTime, the season opener at Boise Contemporary Theater. Finally, I’ll return on page 15 to preview of Tea with the Dames, a delicious new documentary where dames Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith dish the light fantastic on their careers and the loves of their respective lives. It opens Friday, Oct. 26, at The Flicks, and I can’t recommend it enough.

STAGE REVIEW

This year’s Horrific Puppet Affair featured a new skit by Boise author Alan Heathcock.

NO STRINGS ATTACHED AT HORRIFIC PUPPET AFFAIR 2018

6 | OCTOBER 24–30, 2018 | BOISEWEEKLY

1 2 3 RF.C O M

It was opening night of the seventh-annual Horrific Puppet Affair, and the audience’s exasperation with the show’s puppet emcee was palpable. The Oct. 19 show had been plagued by technical difficulties, and the beleaguered emcee had trotted onto the stage one too many times to stall with anecdotes about the soundtrack to the 1998 film Godzilla.

This was the first time HomeGrown Theatre had thrown HPA at its new home at the Gem Center for the Arts, and the little jewel of Boise’s theater scene had decided to go big.

The presentation was in a new theater setting with elaborate staging and plenty of free rein for artists to adapt their Halloween-y visions to the stage. In this case, the witch’s broomstick didn’t quite get off the ground.

That isn’t to say the whole show was weak.

Several of the skits were HPA at its pithy best, starting with the opener, “Prize Tomatoes,” about the secret ingredient in an elderly couple’s garden fertilizer. In another, a murder of red birds deliver vengeance against a boy who kills a member of their flock.

Author Alan Heathcock participated as a playwright for the first time this year, and delivered one of the Halloween special’s all-time greats, about a soft-talking goat.

“The main thing is, I got an idea,” he said. “I sat down one night after several whiskeys and cranked something out.”

For the record, the whiskey in question was Colonel E.H. Taylor Single Barrel.

There were also sound, light and set issues.

Early on, an audio cutout interrupted a skit halfway, leaving puppeteers in the lurch and summoning the emcee to the stage. In another, the lights shut off unexpectedly.

The quality of the skits varied. The final act, “The Alligator” by Chad Shohet, was a gorgeous and technical projection show that ran long; and a skit about a Mesoamerican human sacrifice starred puppets that were so small they were difficult for the audience to see. Another, about two heckling Halloween candy baskets, was sub par, both in content and execution.

The flaws in this year’s HPA, however, shouldn’t be a reason to stay away. Tech glitches can be fixed; authentic, raw theater like the Horrific Puppet Affair is a Boise treasure; and Alan Heathcock’s startling tale about a billy goat is worth the price of admission.

—Harrison Berry

Film and television have reimagined the face-painted entertainers as menaces, to the chagrin of working clowns.

THE IT FACTOR

Are clowns scary? We asked the experts.

HARRISON BERRY Meet Pennywise the Dancing Clown. He wears makeup and a frilly outfit, and has a cherry-red nose. He’s a bit of a homebody, having lived in the town of Derry, Maine, for as long as anyone can remember, and he has a voracious appetite— mostly for children.

“I thought to myself, ‘What scares children more than anything in the world?’ And the answer was clowns,’” said author Stephen King in a 2013 interview. Pennywise plays a major part in his 1986 horror novel, It (Viking).

Since its publication, It has been adapted twice, the first time for television (1990), and again for the big screen in 2017. The first adaptation starred the legendary Tim Curry and aired on the ABC network in 18 million households, making Pennywise the most widely recognizable clown in the world almost overnight.

That rubs Robert Franklin the wrong way. He’s the vice president of a “community entertainment organization,” Clowns of Idaho, and when he’s in garb, he goes by Pop Tart the Clown. The organization’s mission is very simple.

“We’re basically all volunteers, and what we do is present the ancient and happy, silly and heartfelt and wholesome art of clowns to the Boise community,” he said.

When Franklin talks about clowns being ancient, he isn’t kidding. They go back at least as far as ancient Greece, and they’ve been ubiquitous in entertainment ever since.

More recently, clowns have come to be associated with community and charity events—roles

the Clowns of Idaho are happy to play. Franklin said he and his group, which includes approximately 30 members, perform often. In September, they participated in the Summer Block Party at First Christian Church in Nampa and at Oktoberfest at St. Mark’s Catholic Church in Boise.

This month, they gathered at Kleiner Park in Nampa for the Alzheimer’s Walk. Franklin feels clowns get short shrift when they’re portrayed in the media as madmen, killers or the incarnations of evil metaphysical entities, like Pennywise.

“Since it’s Halloween, there is a proliferation of scary clown stuff, and just in the past couple of years, this scary clown idea seems to have [caught] fire, not just in the Treasure Valley, but in the United States and the world,” he said.

The evil clown trope is comparatively new.

Representations include Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “Hop-Frog” (1849), the killer Canio in the opera Pagliacci (1892) and real-life serial killer John Wayne Gacy in the 1970s. In 2016, a rash of clown sightings in the United States quickly spread to Canada and 18 other countries, leading to warnings, costume bans and a handful of arrests. In 2017, a new adaptation of It hit theaters, adding fuel to the scary-clown fire.

“The Halloween stores sold items to help people create the scary clown look,” wrote Clowns of Idaho member Wanda “Miss Bee Havin” Jennings in an email. “Real clowns bring joy and there is nothing scary about them. Overall, our national clowning organizations are working to create fun images of clowns and to develop more

ways to help people become clowns.”

Some observers of the horror genre, however, believe it may be too late to turn back the clock on the scary clown trope. Kylie MacEntee has worked in film since she was 15 years old—for the Sun Valley Film Festival and the Idaho Horror Film Festival, where she was asked to direct programming for its second year. At Spacebar Arcade, where she works nights, she plays horror films like Scream (1996), Urban Legend (1998), Idle Hands (1999) and more. For her, quality scary-clown films are rare but provide fertile ground for horror.

“Obviously, there’s the mask. You don’t know who the person is, and the charades of it.

[Clowns] are like mimes. Mimes are like a canvas or a mirror, but clowns have a personality, and you have to take it at literal face value, which is creepy,” she said.

Clowns’ potential for comedy or horror depends on context, MacEntee said, and there’s nothing inherently scary about them, but in a media-rich environment that cuts into the attention-share of live entertainment, the creepy clown trope may be breathing new life into a fading tradition.

“Honestly, I don’t feel like it’s unfair [to clowns], because [horror] has called attention to them that otherwise they wouldn’t have,” she said. “This phobia—it keeps them relevant, in a sense, because we’re so saturated by entertainment. If clowns weren’t scaring people, I don’t think they’d be as prevalent.”

COURTESY THRILL THE WORLD BOISE

ARTS & CULTURE

This is the ninth year that Thrill the World Boise has participated in a worldwide “Thriller” dance event.

DANCING WITH THE DEAD Boiseans gather for a flash mob rendition of “Thriller” CASSIDY RICHE Y It’s not every day you see zombies dancing—particularly all over the world at the same hour. But on Saturday, Oct. 27, Thrill the World Boise and its sister groups across the globe will offer just that while attempting to break the World Record, yet again, for the largest simultaneous dance to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” The Boise event will take place at 4 p.m. at the Boise Spectrum, with an additional performance Friday, Oct. 26, at the Old Idaho Penitentiary’s Frightened Felons event.

This is not the first time Thrill the World Boise has gathered undead members of the community. In fact, this is its ninth year running. Janelle Wilson, the original founder of the Boise effort, was working for the city’s Department of Arts and History when she came up with the idea of bringing her city into the fun.

“I wanted to open up this opportunity to do something that was movement-oriented, performance-oriented, community-oriented— something that everyone could participate in even if they weren’t a dancer in their minds,” Wilson said.

However scary it was to start the flash mob, the first performance brought in 79 zombies, and that number climbed to 164 on its most successful year.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

“It’s amazing to me that people continue to show up to it. They look forward to it. They invite their friends. It’s a perpetuating beast of zombies that can’t be killed,” Wilson said.

This year, in memory of event co-producer Bob Neal, all donations and proceeds will be given to f*ckcancer.org.

“If we can raise any money at all for people in this situation right now, I can’t think of a better thing to do,” Wilson said.

For wannabe brain-eaters, it’s not too late to get involved. The zombie count that goes toward breaking the record isn’t actually conducted until the performance itself.

“I never know what’s going to happen until it happens. It could be five people. It could be 500 people. That’s terrifying, but it’s also part of the fun of it,” Wilson said.

For many participants, this event enables them to share a lasting experience with their families.

“One woman told me she personally had a challenging year with her family and that she brought her daughters to the practices,” Wilson said. “It was the first time she had seen her daughter [happy and] alive in a year.”

The Boise undead community has no plans to stop its gruesome yet beautiful gathering, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2019.

CITIZEN BRANDY DAVIS

A local artist-turned-pumpkin-carver stars in the Food Network’s Halloween Wars LE X NEL SON

When Boise Weekly got local artist Brandy Davis on the phone, she was pushing a shopping cart full of pumpkins to her car—props intended not for her porch, but for a carving demonstration on a local news segment. While most Boiseans probably know Davis for her Native American portraits painted on feathers that often take home awards at the Western Idaho Fair, during the Halloween season she steps from her job as a freelance artist and full-time mom into another role: professional pumpkin carver.

This year, that skill and a well-placed application landed her a spot on season eight of The Food Network’s Halloween Wars, a competition show that pits teams of three (one pumpkin carver, one cake master and one sugar artist) against each other in timed challenges to create intricate, terrifying displays with themes like “The Boogeyman’s Worst Nightmare” and “Clowns vs. Zombies.” Brandy’s team, Team Tricked-OutTreats, and others have already competed for four weeks leading up to the show’s finale Sunday, Oct. 28.

For people who haven’t seen Halloween Wars, can you walk me through what it’s like?

I understand there are two different challenges each week.

You do the Small Scare, which is 45 minutes, and you have that [time] only, which is insanely difficult because to build these huge pieces in 45 minutes is next to impossible, but they do it. So that’s the first one and those are judged, and then the winner of that challenge gets to have extra help in the next challenge, which is so handy, because you want as many hands on board as you can get. So when the Spine Chiller comes, that’s the main challenge. I want to say we had 8 hours to finish our pieces, and that time just flies by.

How did you get started pumpkin carving?

So this is back in 2012, there was an online worldwide pumpkin carving contest … I just wanted to enter and see if I could win, and part of me knew that I could if I just kept going.

Sure enough, I think I entered in three or four pumpkins—and they were only like the second, third and fourth pumpkins I’d ever carved in my life—and after about a month, I think it was like October, maybe it was the 31st, they announced the winner. And there were some fantastic,

fantastic entries, I mean I was in awe of the stuff that was coming in [from] top-of-the-line artists. But I entered in a 3D pumpkin carving of The Grinch and it actually won the whole contest, and I was so excited! That kind of kicked things off for me.

When you’re not on TV, how do you put your pumpkin carving skills to work in Boise?

Here in Boise I’ve been contacted by Linder Farms [and] The Farmstead. They would have me go out and carve pumpkins as a live demonstration, and I’ve carved for the Village at Meridian when they have events there for Halloween. I just sit and I carve live and I set up pumpkin displays, and it’s really neat. It attracts a huge crowd because most people have never seen that kind of pumpkin carving before.

“ PRE T T Y M U C H E VERY THING THAT CAN GO WRONG WILL PROBABLY GO WRONG .”

And what kind is that? I assume you’re doing something a lot more complicated than what the rest of us do in our kitchens before Halloween.

These are so far from that. I guess the thing that I can liken it to the most is, have you ever seen subtractive wood carving, when they kind of chip away at it and reveal a face? This is very similar. You just remove the rind of the pumpkin, and we use clay sculpting tools and pottery tools and we just scrape away until we start seeing the face that we want, until it’s done. And that can be anywhere between five to...gosh, I’ve spent 10 or 11 hours on one.

Can you describe one of the displays you made for Halloween Wars?

We had to come up with something the Boogeyman would be afraid of, which is kind of hard because you’re thinking, “Well, everyone’s afraid of the Boogeyman,” so you have to put yourself in his shoes and think, “Hmm, what would he be afraid of?” So we’re thinking, why does the Boogeyman go out and scare kids at night? And well, we’re like, “Oh, idea, maybe he has someone else to answer to. Maybe he doesn’t even like scaring kids. Maybe he’s just collecting them to pay a ransom to this snake that comes and visits him every so often.” So we decided to make a really ferocious-looking, two-headed snake that he’d be offering this little bag of children to.

Have you had any challenges with things falling apart? Anything unexpected?

Everything on that show is unexpected.

You think you go in prepared, but you have to understand that when you get on there, pretty much everything that can go wrong will probably go wrong … But that’s what I love about it, that’s part of the challenge—to fix it and make it work.

One last note: I noticed looking at the teams that you’re the only woman featured as a pumpkin carver. Is carving a male-dominated field?

It is. As a matter of fact, when I got there, the judges even acknowledged that. So one of the things that didn’t air but that when I was there, Shinmin [Li], who’s the female judge on that show, she really complimented me on my ability, especially as a female pumpkin carver … She was very impressed with it, and did comment that it’s a highly male-dominated industry. And I didn’t think about it until after, but I’m like, you know what, it really is. I only know of myself and two other pretty good female pumpkin carvers, and the rest are men. We hold our own though. We can do anything they can do.

GEORGE PRENTICE

CITIZEN RAVIN PATTERSON AND DAVEY COLLINS The not-so-curious stars of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time GEORGE PRENTICE

The creative team at Boise Contemporary Theater isn’t sparing with its use of the word “ambitious” in describing its 2018-19 season and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

“BCT begins its most ambitious season ever with its most ambitious show ever,” reads the company’s press release, announcing that its season opener was a resounding critical and box office smash on London’s West End before taking Broadway by storm and winning the Tony award for Best Play.

Leading BCT’s cast of The Curious Incident is 20-year-old Davey Collins, who is tasked with one of the most challenging theatrical roles in contemporary drama: Christopher, an English boy who is presumably on the autism spectrum and is obsessed with solving the mystery of the brutal slaying of a dog. Along the way, Christopher reconciles his own personal mystery, unraveling a twisted bundle of life-changing secrets. New Jersey-native Ravin Patterson portrays Siobhan, a special education teacher who inspires the boy to turn his diary-like remembrances into a play.

I was fortunate enough to see this show on Broadway; I still can’t shake it. To say that this play is a major undertaking for BCT is an understatement. When did this first come on your radar?

Collins: I had a general audition and then a callback, specifically for the role of Christopher, this past August.

Patterson: It was right around August for me, as well, when our director Tracy Sunderland and BCT Artistic Director Matthew Cameron Clark came to New York to conduct auditions.

Can I assume you began tackling your roles through late summer and early fall?

Patterson: I started right away on dialect.

What, specifically, is the dialect?

Patterson: Something called Estuary. It’s a bit of a modern bleed of different English BOISE WEEKLY.COM

accents. I worked quite a bit with BCT’s dialect coach, Ann Price.

Collins: I also worked on my dialect with Ann. Additionally, I had to start working with Tracy on a physical vocabulary. Plus, I did a good deal of research on neurotypicality.

Pardon the pun, but when did the two of you recognize that you were on the same page?

Collins: You just feel it when your synapses are firing on the same level. Sometimes, it’s more about doing it wrong enough times until you ultimately find when you’re doing it right.

It’s a painstaking process of elimination.

Patterson: There is a moment, truly, when it just happens.

The Curious Incident is indeed about a particular incident and a particular boy. But there’s much more at stake here, right?

Collins: It’s a story about love. Life is so complicated; living with other people, understanding other people, communicating with other people is so difficult. To a large degree, the show is about honesty and understanding, particularly with someone who is difficult to understand.

Patterson: It’s about encouragement, not judging people. There’s something special about each and every one of us. When you watch Christopher’s journey, you’re stepping outside of your own assumptions of what is normal.

Let’s talk a bit about Christopher’s challenge. In the play, Christopher doesn’t have a formal diagnosis of being on the autism spectrum.

Collins: It turns out that my mom is a special education teacher, so I actually grew up knowing a bit about physical [and] mental disorders. I really enjoyed researching this and growing my own perspective. What was so great for me was staring with the movement. The lines and the actual character of Christopher came next.

Patterson: And I also come from a family of teachers. My mom, my sister, my brotherin-law: They’ve all worked with special-needs children.

Can I assume that you’re emotionally and physically spent following a performance of this show?

Collins: It’s very demanding, and I have to take care of myself. That said, if something happens to me, the show still goes on. I just have to make sure that nothing is going to go wrong on my end.

Do have particular day-of-show routines or, for that matter, traditions or even superstitions?

Patterson: I like to journal in the morning, and quite coincidentally, yesterday I wrote something down: “Don’t be superstitious.” In the past, I had these little things that I would do, but now, I’m trying to be open and just listen to my body and be in tune with what’s happening. So now, in the morning, I wake up early, play some classical music, go through all my notes. I’m just trying to get as much peace on the inside as possible.

Collins: Mindfulness is really important.

Davey, you’re in a unique position here at BCT because a good chunk of your formative years were here in Idaho.

Collins: Boise is in this awesome transitional phase right now and the city is yearning for more theater. Here at Boise Contemporary Theater, they’re really pushing the envelope.

Not to put any more pressure on you, but expectations are very high. The reviews from London and New York were off-thechain amazing.

Collins: This play really reminds us why some stories belong on the stage and not in front of a camera. It takes advantage of this medium in such an elegant way.

SAT.-SUN., OCT. 27-28 COURTESY PAST BLES SINGS FARM

Stories of hauntings are de rigueur for Halloween fiction, but generally the protagonists are trying to trap or shoo away the spirits in question—not sit them down for a chat. In the spooky comedy Polter-Heist: A Ghostly Murder Mystery coming up at The Playhouse Boise, though, that’s exactly the goal of Madame Zelda Von Schpookum, the president of the Boogeyman Outreach Organization (aka BOO).

From start to finish, Polter-Heist is a fiendish Halloween romp that’s sure to keep audiences laughing and gasping in equal measure. Even better, Playhouse pairs the show with a multicourse dinner catered by Romio’s Greek and Italian restaurant, and real fans can snag VIP tickets that include not only dinner and the show but a cast shoutout, gift and cast photo.

7 p.m., $25-$350 table of eight. The Playhouse Boise, 8001 W. Fairview Ave., 208779-0092, playhouseboise.com.

10 BARREL’S PRAY FOR SNOW

PICKIN’ TREASURE VALLEY

If there are little kids in your household, a blood-and-guts horror movie or corn maze full of chainsaw-toting actors may not be at the top of the list for Halloween entertainment. Zoo Boise’s Boo at the Zoo event, though, should definitely make the cut. Billed as family friendly, the day-long event features costume contests for all ages from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (check out the categories and specific times online), face painting, photos, games, Halloween-themed activities with the animals, costumed employees passing out candy to kids and more. Plus, the zoo itself will be open for business as usual, so your little zombies, witches and vampires can check out their favorite critters all day.

Admission cuts off at 4:30 p.m., so come early for a full day of fun.

10 a.m.-5 p.m., FREE-$10. Zoo Boise, 355 Julia Davis Dr., 208-608-7760, zooboise.org.

Yes, it’s still fall, but the chill in the air and the frost already coating our windshields hint that—as Game of Thrones fans so delight in saying—winter is coming. For the folks over at 10 Barrel Brewing company, it can’t come fast enough, which is why they’re back for another snow-centric event, this time featuring the full-length film Praying for Snow, a local skiing and snowboarding movie starring powder buffs Ben Ferguson, Curtis Ciszek, Eric Jackson and Lucas Wachs.

Organizers promise this year’s event will be on “a whole new level” with a ski and snowboard waxing station, “Jerry of the Fest” and Halloween costume contests, prize giveaways, live music from DJ Indica Jones and Flobots, the ceremonial tapping of special beer kegs and more. If you’re already looking up at the sky in search of those first flakes, despite the fact Halloween hasn’t hit yet, this one’s for you.

5-10 p.m., FREE. El Korah Shrine Parking Lot, 1118 W. Idaho St., 208-343-0571, 10barrel.com.

If you’ve ever been to a flea market, garage sale or craft fair, you’re probably familiar with the euphoria of the bargain, when that longsought or beautifully hand-made item is finally safe in your shopping bag. If you’re addicted to that feeling (we certainly are), then Pickin’ Treasure Valley is bound to be one of your favorite events of the year. Billed as a vintage show and artisan market, Pickin’ brings in vendors and shoppers from across the western U.S. each year for two days of “fair and affordable junking” at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa. The purveyors are chosen by jury, which means only the most unique and highquality jewelers, crafters and upcyclers make the cut. It’s a treasure trove that no bargain hunter should miss.

THE LION KING IS THE PRIDE OF THE MORRISON CENTER Before Disney’s The Lion King could take center stage at The Morrison Center in Boise, the auditorium was redesigned to accommodate its choreography—a good indicator of the scale and magnitude of the production. On the Oct. 18 opening night, the audience was giddy even before the glowing, symbol-splashed curtain rose. Applause filled the room as the lights went down, and apart from the musical’s tender and dramatic moments, almost never stopped.

The story of The Lion King has been beloved The Lion King runs through Sunday, Nov. 4. since Disney released its 1994 animated classic, which has its roots in Shakespeare’s Hamlet and soon became the highest-grossing production on Broadway. But while the tale is the stuff of childhood legend, it’s the intricate puppets, carefully designed costumes and mind-blowing sets that put the stage production in another league. The audience was immediately immersed on Oct. 18, starting when giant elephants and rhinos (puppets supported by multiple actors) lumbered up the side aisles to join giraffes, cheetahs and stamping zebras on stage for “Circle of Life.” Adding to the drama, much of the performance took place in mid-air: For fight scenes and songs like “Be Prepared,” the actors scrambled and leaped across towering set pieces, including Pride Rock and a larger-than-life elephant skeleton.

It’s difficult to describe the magical marriage of actor and animal that The Lion King pulled off. When the lions snarled, their masks dropped from above their heads to hover in front of their faces, adding a pall of menace to the air, and when the meerkat Timon cavorted in the jungle, his green-clad puppeteer melted into the background. But it’s easy to say that the added songs fit seamlessly into the well-worn story, and the sneaked-in pop-culture jokes—including a Frozen reference and a well-placed line from the hornbill Zazu about his “annoying brother that’s constantly tweeting”—were perfectly timed.

When it comes to acting chops, 11-year-old Salahedin Safi stole the show with his energetic performance of young Simba. Not only were his antics a delight to watch, his voice and inflections were nearly identical to those of voice actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who played Simba in the 1994 animated film.

That attention to detail helped turned The Lion King into a world for all ages to get lost in, even if just for a night.

Usually when you visit a band’s website, the first page is one giant ad for its latest album, offering up full-screen music videos and easy-click tracks. But Brooklyn-based “slacker rock” group Active Bird Community is different. Though its new album, Amends (Barsuk Records, 2018), dropped just last month, ABC’s page opens with a block of text: an impassioned letter from lead vocalist Tom D’Agustino explaining the album and its importance to the band. “To be honest, I’m pretty nervous about putting this out into the world, finally,” D’Agustino writes, before going to to assure readers that his band actually “gives a s***” about the songs they’ve written. ABC’s members have been playing together since they were 11 years old, giving them the license to do things a bit differently—a promise born out in their indie-meets-grunge tracks. Packed with quirks at every turn, the honesty of Amends isn’t to be underestimated.

PSYCHOSTICK, THE SHREDDER, OCT. 30

LISTEN HERE

In its new surprise-release album, DO (self-released, 2018), comedy-metal band Psychostick doubled down on its mission to never take anything too seriously. This is the band that brought fans the heart-wrenchingly funny ballad “From the Heart (I Hate You),” which features lyrical gems like “I hope every puzzle you make / Is missing one piece” and “I hope your children / Can’t learn to read;” and the intentionally awful “Adulting,” which chronicles a simple man’s struggle with going to work when he just wants to play video games. Though its schtick may not appeal to every listener (think Weird Al meets Slipknot, and if you don’t like that, turn around), its dedicated fan base catapulted DO to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Comedy Album charts—an achievement the band greeted with a bemused “Well this is unexpected.”

Catch Psychostick on its Socks, Sandals and PJ Pants Tour in Boise on Tuesday, Oct. 30.

COURTESY IFC FILMS

SCREEN THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A DAME— OR FOUR

A spot of tea, a bit of gossip and a few F-bombs

OCT. 25-28

KEVIN

GEORGE PRENTICE One lump or two? Oh bloody hell, make it four.

It’s Tea with the Dames, after all. And by dames, I mean the sauciest quartet on the far side of the pond: Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith.

I loved, loved, loved and loved this 92-minute frolic, wishing it was at least twice as long. That said, my unbridled adoration for Tea with the Dames is measured by my own crush on all four of these women, which started long before they were anointed with knighthood. Additionally, I confess that I’m absolutely mad for anything that takes a swan dive into mid-20th century British pop culture. So, to be fair, you should gauge your enthusiasm for this film based on your own taste.

For example: If you like a jolly-good documentary, there’s about an 80 percent chance that you’ll embrace Tea with the Dames. If you’re also a fan of British culture, your mirth meter should approach 90 percent. If you have a special place in your heart for theater, it will be closer to 95 percent.

And if you love any combination of Atkins (Gosford Park), Plowright (Enchanted April), Dench (Shakespeare in Love) and Smith (Downton Abbey), you have one of this year’s loveliest cinema experiences in store. One caveat: These four dames drop more than a few F-bombs between sips of tea, but somehow it’s more poetic than profane.

LIVE COMEDY 6 NIGHTS A WEEK

DOWNEY JR. Four salty dames show up at a cottage to drink tea. What could go wrong?

The opening title of the film reads: “From time to time, four old friends, all extraordinary actresses, meet up in the English countryside to gossip, to remember and to laugh. This time they let the cameras in.”

Emboldened by off-screen questions from director Roger Michell (Notting Hill), the dames wax poetic on their careers, triumphs, regrets and, in some rather teary moments, the loves of their lives. Plowright, for instance is as famous for her marriage to Laurence Olivier as for her performances on stages in London and on Broadway.

“It was momentous, even earth-shattering. It was a great privilege to share his life,” says Plowright. “It was also a nightmare.”

The other three dames also knew Olivier all too well, at least professionally, co-starring with him on the stage of the National Theatre in London.

“I think I was more nervous of him than the critics,” says Smith. Seconds later, viewers see a film clip of 1965’s Othello, in which Olivier slaps Smith in the face, with vigor. “He nearly knocked

me out,” says the typically unflappable Smith.

“But I must say, it was the only time I truly saw stars at the National Theatre.”

Indeed, the most delicious “finger sandwiches” of Tea with the Dames are the photos and film clips that remind viewers how jaw-dropping the four dames were more than a half-century ago (I still think they are). That said, the ladies are selfdeprecating.

“We were not in the first rank of world beauties,” says Plowright.

Au-contraire. Then, now and always, they’re all heartbreakers.

Near the film’s end, when asked what advice she might offer her younger self, Dench takes a moment to look out on the English countryside, and with tears beginning to well in her eyes, says, “I would try not to be susceptible to falling in love.” She takes a sip of champagne, which by then has replaced the tea, and continues, “Oh, well. Whatever. It’s too late now.”

Plowright says, “It’s never too late to fall in love.”

Ahhhhhh.

SCREEN EXTRA INGMAR BERGMAN RETROSPECTIVE BRINGS LEGENDARY FILM LEGACY TO BOISE If he were alive today, Ingmar Bergman would have turned 100 in July. Bergman is one of the most influential filmmakers ever, famed for his visual vocabulary for expressing universal human emotions. His films are for the whole world, and Boise State University has joined other institutions around the globe BOISE WEEKLY.COM

in celebrating the centenary of his birth.

“All these great cities across the world are honoring him,” said Boise State University Associate Professor of Music Dr. Michael Porter. “Now that we have this wonderful school of the arts at Boise State, why not take advantage of all this?”

The retrospective began on Oct. 22, when Dr. Rulon Wood, an assistant professor of communications, delivered a talk and presented a

screening of Wild Strawberries (1957) at the Morrison Center, followed by The Virgin Spring (1960), The Silence (1964), and Cries and Whispers (1972) with other professors. The Bergman Centenary Celebration ends on Friday, Oct. 26, with a screening of The Seventh Seal at The Flicks, presented by Professor Thomas Sobchack of the University of Utah.

Bergman’s wide-ranging influence, not just on other filmmakers

but across a variety of fields, lent the retrospective an interdisciplinary approach. Porter is, after all, a professor of music, who said he was impressed by Bergman’s use of music by classical great Johann Sebastian Bach in The Silence.

“There’s so much of a melody and a counter melody, so much dialogue between the lines … and that’s the aspect that inspired Bergman,” he said.

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH H RQ WKH YHUJH NO KIDS ON THE BLOCK DEAR MINERVA, My long-time boyfriend d and I are finally tying the knot. We’re excited for our big day and have so many ideas. We both have large families and a lot of friends.

However, neither one of us are kid people. We’re not planning on having children. We also have family members and friends who have decided to reproduce like bunnies. While I love them, I don’t want our wedding to be distracted by screaming children running around.

What should we do? Hold the wedding in a bar in the middle of the night?

—Sincerely, No Kids on the Block

DEAR NKOTB, It’s your wedding. Simply indicate on the invitation: “No kids allowed.” While this might seem outrageous, think about a couple of things. Most parents are looking for a day off to actually spend time with people without their little ones around. This is a great time to give them that. They may even appreciate the immediate stress relief of not having to dress their squirmy kids in formal wear. There have been recent trends in kid-free events.

Life is about balance and in our busy lives, having time away might help “fill up their cup.” Imagine not having to watch every word you say or dodge the sticky fingers of kids full of the kind of energy long gone for most. If your family and friends are upset by this and dare take offense, tough Play-Doh. It’s not about them. Congrats and enjoy your kid-free day!

Sure, it’s jazzy, but we love this temperature-controlled faucet light because it brings a level of safety to a kid’s bathroom.

In a few seconds, this thimble-sized device screws onto any household faucet. And then the fun begins: When the water is cold, the stream lights up with a blue hue. As the water becomes temperate, the stream is bathed in green, and when the water gets hot (and here’s the safety feature), it glows red. If there are no kids in your home, the faucet light adds a bit of elegance to any powder room. These cute gadgets are relatively cheap. We found a pack of three for about $15.

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

ASTROLOGY SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “He believed in magic,” writes author Michael Chabon about a character in his novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. “Not in the so-called magic of candles, pentagrams, and bat wings,” nor “dowsing rods, séances, weeping statues, werewolves, wonders, or miracles.” Then what kind? Chabon says it’s the “impersonal magic of life,” like coincidences and portents that reveal their meanings in retrospect.

I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because now is a favorable time to call on the specific kind of magic that you regard as real and helpful. What kind of magic is that? Halloween costume suggestion: magician, witch, wizard.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” Sagittarian author Jane Austen wrote that in her novel Northanger Abbey, and now I’m passing her message on to you, slightly altered. My version is, “If adventures will not befall Sagittarian people of any age or gender in their own neighborhood, they must seek them abroad.”

And where exactly is “abroad”? The dictionary says it might mean a foreign country, or it could simply mean outside or in another place. I’d like to extend the meaning further to include anywhere outside your known and familiar world. Halloween costume suggestion: traveler on a pilgrimage or explorer on a holy quest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): PR executives at a beer company offered to pay me a lot of money if I would sneak a product placement ad into your horoscope. They asked me to pretend there was a viable astrological reason to recommend that you imbibe their product in abundance. But the truth is, the actual planetary omens suggest the opposite.

You should not, in fact, be lounging around in a haze of intoxication. You should instead be working hard to drum up support for your labor of love or your favorite cause. Very important people will be more available to you than usual, and you’ll be wise to seek their input. Halloween costume suggestion: the Ultimate Fundraiser; Networker of the Year; Chief Hobnobber.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “What kind of idea are you?” asks author Salman Rushdie. “Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accommodates itself, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze?” I pose this question to you, Aquarius, because I think you could be an effective version of either idea in the coming weeks. If you’re the latter—the cussed, damnfool notion—you may change your world in dramatic ways. Halloween costume suggestions: revolutionary, crusader, agitator and rabble-rouser.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is no beauty without some strangeness,” wrote Edgar Allan Poe. Fashion designer Rei Kawakubo ventured further, declaring, “Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.” She also added another nuance to her definition: “For something to be beautiful, it doesn’t have to be pretty.” I’ll offer you one more seed for thought: wabi-sabi. It’s a Japanese term that refers to a kind of beauty that’s imperfect, transitory, and incomplete. I bring these clues to your attention, Pisces, because now is an excellent time to refine and clarify your own notion of beauty-and re-commit yourself to embodying it.

Halloween costume suggestion: the embodiment of your definition of beauty.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In her poem “Shedding Skin,” Harryette Mullen compares her own transformation to the action a snake periodically carries out to renew itself. Since you now have an excellent opportunity to undertake your own molting process, you may find her thoughts helpful. (I’ve rendered them in prose for easier reading.) “Pulling out of the old scarred skin-old rough thing I don’t need now—I strip off, slip out of, leave behind. Shedding toughness, peeling layers down to

BY ROB BREZSNY

vulnerable stuff. And I’m blinking off old eyelids for a new way of seeing. By the rock I rub against, I’m going to be tender again.” Halloween costume suggestion: snake sloughing its skin.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Only the young and stupid are confident about sex and romance,” says 49-year-old author Elizabeth Gilbert, who has written extensively about those subjects. I agree with her. I’ve devoted myself to studying the mysteries of love for many years, yet still feel like a rookie. Even if you are smarter about these matters than Gilbert and me, Taurus, I urge you to adopt a humble and curious attitude during the next few weeks. The cosmos has prepared some interesting lessons for you, and the best way to take advantage is to be eagerly receptive and open-minded. Halloween costume suggestion: sex researcher, love explorer, intimacy experimenter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey wrench into the machinery,” wrote Gemini author Dashiell Hammett. But I recommend that you use his approach very rarely, and only when other learning methods aren’t working. Most of the time, your best strategy for getting the lessons you need is to put lubricating oil into the machinery, not a monkey wrench. That’ll be especially true in the coming weeks. I suggest that you turn the machinery off for a while as you add the oil and and do some maintenance. Halloween costume suggestion: repair person; computer techie; machine whisperer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman was a Cancerian like you and me. One of the factors contributing to his success was that he put his demons to good use, “by harnessing them to his chariot.” He also testified that he gained control over his demons by taking long walks after breakfast.

“Demons don’t like fresh air,” he said. “They prefer it if you stay in bed with cold feet.” I suspect that now would be an excellent time to adopt his advice.

Halloween costume suggestion: Walk your demon on a leash, or make it into a puppet, or harness it to your chariot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Throughout the Halloween season, I encourage you to fantasize extensively about what your dream home would look like and feel like if you had all the money necessary to create it. What colors would you paint the walls? Would you have carpets or hardwood floors? What would be your perfect lighting, furniture, and décor? As you gazed out your windows, what views would you see? Would there be nature nearby or urban hotspots? Would you have an office or music room or art studio? Have fun imagining the sanctuary that would bring out the best in you. Halloween costume suggestion: the ultimate homebody.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look,” writes novelist Jodi Picoult. That’s crucial for you to meditate on during the coming weeks. Why? Because your superpower is going to be the ability to find extraordinary things that are hiding in places where people have almost never thought to look. You can do both yourself and those you care for a big favor by focusing your intensity on this task. Halloween costume suggestions: sleuth, treasure hunter, private eye, Sherlock Holmes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming.” Author Shauna Niequist wrote that. In accordance with the astrological omens, I endorse her perspective as true and useful for you. You’ve zipped through your time of fertile chaos, conjuring up fresh possibilities. When January arrives, you’ll be ready to work on stability and security. But for now, your assignment is to blossom. Halloween costume suggestions: beautiful creature hatching from an egg; strong sprout cracking out of a seed.
