A legacy of art Creative Arts Complex celebrates
RACHEL HERGETT for the Chronicle
Montana State University’s College of Arts and Architecture is celebrating an anniversary of sorts this week.
Celebrations mark the 50th anniversary of MSU’s Creative Arts Complex, three buildings in a row on South 11th Avenue near Grant Street that house much of the College of Arts and Architecture.
“It’s kind of funny to be celebrating a building, but we’re not celebrating a building, we’re celebrating 50 years of activity that’s happening in this college,” Josh Deweese, director of the School of Art, said during an interview on Tuesday.
According to the MSU website, the complex was built in 1974 for $4.1 million. It includes Haynes, Howard and Cheever Halls. Haynes Hall, the home of the School of Art, was named for noted Yellowstone National Park photographer Jack Haynes. Cheever Hall, home to the School of Architecture, takes its name from Hurlburt Cheever, campus architect and head of the school from 1945 to 1961. Howard Hall, home to the School of Music, was named for Louis Howard, MSU’s first bandmaster.
The School of Film and Photography is also included in the celebrations, though it is housed across the street in the Visual Communications
Building, which was built in 1983 and not part of the original complex.
“It would be weird to leave one unit out,” joked Dean Adams, dean of the College of Arts and Architecture, over the phone on Tuesday. Adams also reiterated that rather than the buildings, the anniversary is a celebration of the “transformational experiences” that have happened for students within them.
Events throughout the week have included a film screening, architecture panel and concert. The public is invited to an open house including all four buildings from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4. Studios will be open and students and faculty on hand to answer questions. Current works on display include an exhibition of College of Arts and Architecture faculty works at the Helen E. Copeland Gallery in Haynes Hall through
Oct. 25. A reception will be held Thursday, Oct. 10, at 5 p.m.
In Cheever, the Dean’s Gallery hosts “Terry Melvin: A Life in Art” through the end of October, showcasing work by MSU School of Art graduate Terry Melvin, who died in 2023. Melvin and her late husband Paul, whose support helped the School of Art convert a 6,000 square-foot former swine barn into what is now the Terry and Paul Melvin Graduate Art
Studio in 2001, will be honored at a reception on Friday, Oct. 4, from 3 to 5 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Lower Cheever Gallery is displaying a series on the history of the College of Architecture. Outside of the university, the Jessie Wilbur Gallery at the Emerson Center is hosting an exhibit of works by MSU metalsmithing faculty and alumni through Nov. 27.

movie review
BY JAY BOBBIN
‘Men in Black’ came back, to mixed results
If there’s one lesson Hollywood never has seemed to learn, it’s to quit while it’s ahead.
The “Men in Black” concept yielded three movie blockbusters, and seven years after the last of those, its studio went back to the well to try to redevelop the series without most of the original team (Mistake One, usually) that included stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones and director Barry Sonnenfeld.
Released in 2019, “Men in Black: International” – which FX shows Sunday, Oct. 6, and Monday, Oct. 7 – has the requisite aliens and people in cool business suits saying cool things, but in trying to emulate what the earlier trilogy seemed to achieve so effortlessly - though the bountiful special effects obviously take a lot of effort - the latest chapter simply tries too hard. And it very notably lacks Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones, whose ideal

teamwork was a huge factor in the first three pictures being such giant hits.
Instead of them, “International” offers Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson (reunited from “Thor: Ragnarok”) as ultra-secret government agents and new partners who have to stop a global threat from aliens, the same sort of case their movie predecessors had. The more immediate peril facing the duo is a pair of twins who can change their images at will, giving the good guys all sorts of headaches.
Thompson, who also was the love interest in the “Creed” movies, fares rather nicely with what is the more original of the central roles. Hemsworth’s duty is to play Mr. Irresistible, or an agent who generally skates by on sheer charm — and most of his colleagues know it, so his comeuppance here entertains them while it rattles him. It’s pretty much a one-note part for Hemsworth, though, something ordinary in a story that relies heavily on the extraordinary

Gina Rodriguez
OF LUCKY 13 ON ABC/HULU
Q: I was surprised to read that Gina Rodriguez will be joining “Will Trent” for its new season. Does that mean she won’t be doing the game show “Lucky 13” anymore?
A: That remains to be seen, at least as of the time this answer was written. The ABC and Hulu contest — for which Rodriguez and Shaquille O’Neal have shared hosting duties — recently ended its freshman season, and its future is still to be determined. Rodriguez has a particularly vested interest in that, since she’s also an executive producer of the program. One would think that her staying in the ABC family won’t hurt her chances of staying “Lucky,” so to speak, for future seasons.
There’s some time for that to be decided, though, if the Las Vegas-based game remains a summer entry as it was this year. Also, it’s very conceivable that Rodriguez could do both “Lucky 13” and “Will Trent.” The latter series is expected to return for its third season early in the new year, and it’s in production now for that … whereas like most primetime game shows, a season of “Lucky 13” can be taped relatively quickly, over the course of a couple of weeks. Presumably, Rodriguez’s work on the “Will Trent” episodes would be finished by the time she was needed for the game again.
In “Will Trent,” the actress is slated to portray Marion Alba, a self-assured assistant district attorney who arrives in Atlanta and soon makes the acquaintance of police detective Will (played by Ramon Rodriguez, no relation to Gina). They reportedly don’t hit it off with each other professionally at first, but they’re soon partnered on a case and have to learn to get along.

Johnny Galecki celebrity q&a
BY ADAM THOMLISON
Q: What is Johnny Galecki doing since “The Big Bang Theory” ended?
A: Not as much as you’d think. Maybe recovering. Being one of the stars of one of the biggest shows on TV for 12 years probably tired him out a little. And at the end of “The Big Bang Theory’s” landmark run in 2019, he was moonlighting in another sitcom at the same time: “The Conners.” That, of course, was a return to the role that made him famous, “The Conners” being a sequel/rebrand of “Roseanne,” the sitcom in which he starred in the ‘90s.
As if that weren’t enough, Galecki also did a voice in the tear-jerking feature “A Dog’s Journey” (2019), which came out a few months after “Big Bang” wrapped.
Since then he’s transitioned to being a TV producer. He tried to get a medical drama off the ground back in 2022, called “Catching Babies,” which would have focused specifically on a hospital’s maternity ward, but it didn’t get picked up by ABC.
But, he’s since returned to more familiar territory — he’s developing a sitcom pilot that would follow a small startup company trying to break out in the early days of the internet. “AOK” (the title seems to be a pun on one-time tech giant AOL) would return Galecki to the world of nerds and the familiar surroundings of CBS.
It’s still in the early stages, so it’s not clear if he would star as well or just remain behind the scenes.

John Wayne shows ‘True Grit’ in his Oscar-winning role
Rooster Cogburn was the right role at the right time for John Wayne. Indeed, 1969 was an ideal year for the classic Western “True Grit” — now streaming on Paramount+ — since it came when the movie industry was making a major thematic shift. Tales of the Old West were being phased out for more modern stories, in both plotting and execution, and “True Grit” turned out to be a sort of victory lap for an actor and a category that had served audiences well for decades.
In the Henry Hathaway-directed adaptation of Charles Portis’ novel, eyepatched lawman Rooster Cogburn (Wayne) is enlisted by spirited young Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) to help find her father’s killer. The film is also notable for the presence of music star Glen Campbell, who had acted a couple of times previously, but this was his first major screen credit; he plays La Boeuf, a Texas Ranger with his own reasons for wanting to apprehend the murderer. Logically, Campbell also is given a chance to sing, though that happens offscreen as he croons the Oscar-nominated title tune.

“The Enforcer” (BBC America, Sunday, Oct. 6): The third of Clint Eastwood’s “Dirty Harry” adventures, this 1976 entry is particularly enjoyable for the star’s teamwork with a pre-”Cagney & Lacey” Tyne Daly, who plays a novice police inspector teamed with rule-busting Harry to seek a self-styled terrorist group wreaking havoc throughout San Francisco. Harry Guardino and Bradford Dillman are enjoyable as superior officers who have little use for the maverick antics of Eastwood’s Harry.
“That Girl” (Catchy Comedy, Monday, Oct. 7, through Friday, Oct. 11): Long missing from linear television, Marlo Thomas’s thenvery-modern 1966-71 comedy series has joined the weekday lineup on Catchy Comedy. Her character, Ann Marie, served as a prototype of the contemporary young woman of the times … single, spirited and career-driven, though many of the stories were built around her efforts to secure work as a would-be actress. Ted Bessell is a pleasant co-star as Ann’s boyfriend.
“A Face in the Crowd” (Turner Classic Movies, Friday, Oct. 11): Though Andy Griffith is remembered largely for the likable image he perfected in his television series, he gave a searing performance as a highly – and sometimes cruelly – influential media figure in this 1957 drama directed by Elia Kazan. The movie is being presented as part of the TCM series “Making Change: The Most Significant Political Film of All Time,” with director Barry Levinson (“Rain Man”) making it his choice for the franchise since it involves a presidential campaign. Patricia Neal and Walter Matthau also star.
Adrian Grenier celebrity update
OF ENTOURAGE ON HBO
Q: What happened to Adrian Grenier? After “Entourage,” he was going to be the next big thing, wasn’t he?
A: HBO’s “Entourage” was a true phenomenon in the late ‘00s — the sort of hit show that became part of the wider cultural conversation — and yes, it did seem designed to make a star out of previously unknown Adrian Grenier. But that hasn’t panned out so far.
It’s hard not to map Grenier’s career against that of his “Entourage” character, also a young actor trying to make it in Hollywood. So, you could say that Grenier the actor is in the midst of his post-”Aquaman” phase (the fictional movie within the show, not to be confused with the real “Aquaman” movie released in 2018) — struggling to find his next hit and get back on the A-list. Like his “Entourage” character, he turned to indie dramas to do it. He’s starred in a number of them in the years since 2015,
BY ADAM THOMLISON
when the “Entourage” movie was released, marking the true end of the show. And also like the character, his movies cover a lot of different genres.
These include the gritty action movies “Marauders” (2016) and “Arsenal” (2017), the romantic-political thriller “Affairs of State” (2018), the musical dramedy “Stage Mother” (2020) and the rom-com “Far More” (2021).
In the midst of these, he did have a brief return to prestige series TV, in the form of the Netflix miniseries “Clickbait,” playing a family man who is abducted in a crime “with a sinister online twist” (per official logline).
His next project hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s clear he hasn’t given up on the kind of career renaissance his “Entourage” character got.
John Wayne in “True Grit”

Pittsburgh Penguins kick off the 2024-25 regular season home opener against New York Rangers
Get excited, hockey fans: the NHL is back with regular season action. The Pittsburgh Penguins open their 2024-25 campaign by hosting a Metropolitan Division rival, the New York Rangers, at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Wednesday, Oct. 9. The puck drops live on TNT and the Max streaming service.
After missing the playoffs in 2023-24 for the second straight year, the Penguins are determined for a better start to the season, aiming to set the tone early out the gate as they push for a turnaround.
If the Penguins are to have any success, a key piece will be veteran Evgeni Malkin, who is entering his 19th season in the league. Proving he still has a lot left in the tank, last season Malkin put up 67 points (27 goals, 40 assists) in 82 games, providing the Penguins with consistent offensive production once again. With offensive support from players such as Kris Letang, Erik Karlsson and captain Sidney Crosby, Malkin and his teammates will be aiming for a better outcome on the power play after struggling to muster up many offensive opportunities last season — ranking third last in the entire NHL. At the other end of the ice are the visiting Rangers, who ranked third in the league on the power play with a success rate of 26.4%. And, after a hot start to the playoffs last season — eventually losing to the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference final — the Rangers are once again a team to look out for with much of their core still intact and ready to have another successful season.
Full name: Evgeni Vladmirovich Malkin
Birthdate: July 13, 1986 (38)
Birthplace: Magnitogorsk, Russia
Height/weight: 6-3/195 pounds
Team(s): Pittsburgh Penguins (2003-present) Honors and achievements: Stanley Cup Champion (2006, 2016, 2017), Art Ross Trophy (2009, 2012), Conn Smythe Trophy (2009)

On Tuesday, DeWeese talked about the inherent meaning in a university mission statement that includes a discussion of the arts.
“As the state’s land-grant university, Montana State integrates education, creation of knowledge and art and service to communities,” the mission statement reads.
MSU’s longstanding commitment to the arts is shown in the creative arts complex, DeWeese explained. Here, students are given the space to explore and create, to find new methods and work to perfect their technique in time-honored traditions like painting and ceramics.
“This is a building on campus where we can actually make a mess,” DeWeese said. “... I also feel like it’s important to remember that we still make things by hand. You know, craftsmanship and the handmade is important. That’s what we can do here.”
Yet, attending the university is not always accessible. In the college of art, the 50th anniversary celebration has become an opportunity to give something back to the students. Works from dozens of Montana artists, alumni, faculty and students of the university will be auctioned off this week, in both live and silent auctions and proceeds will be placed in an endowment that will provide longterm support for students. According to DeWeese, the endowment will fund five scholarships — undergraduate scholarships in studio
arts, art history and graphic design and graduate scholarships in fine arts and art history.
“We’re always trying to think about how we can support students,” DeWeese said. “Costs are not going down. And so everything we can do to create scholarship opportunities for students is important.”
A silent auction is ongoing and will close at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5. The pieces were donated from a variety of School of Art faculty, alumni and students, including contributions from both Adams and DeWeese. The silent auction’s legacy artist category includes pieces by those whose work has made a lasting impact on the university and community. There’s a bird-shaped carafe and cups from Frances Senska, a Jessie Wilbur print, pieces by DeWeese’s parents, Bob and Gennie, a Ray Campeau watercolor and a painting by Jerry Rankin.
“I think there’s many, many stories that can point to the value of what’s happened here,” DeWeese said
of the School of Art and its legacy in the community and beyond. “And we see nothing but a great future.”
The Emerson Center’s ballroom will be open for auction previews Friday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The week culminates in a gala art auction on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Emerson Center Ballroom, 111 S. Grand Ave. in Bozeman. Tickets are $150 to the live auction and dinner, featuring auctioneer Missy O’Malley.
To view auction items and bid in the silent auction, visit https://us. givergy.com/SchoolofArt5for50th/.
All of the celebrations, according to Adams, are a way to create more community around the arts that connect us.
“Not everybody’s going to be a maker or a performer, but certainly we all engage in the arts somehow,” he said, pointing to the buildings around us and the clothes that we choose to wear. “It completes the human experience.”

Zachary Quinto is embracing his latest television mission: to unlock what makes people tick.
That’s what the “Heroes,” “American Horror Story” and Star Trek movie franchise alum’s neurologist character does in “Brilliant Minds,” NBC’s new Monday drama inspired by the work of the late author and physician Oliver Sacks, who also was the basis for Robin Williams’ role in the 1990 movie “Awakenings.”

The unconventional Dr. Oliver Wolf (Quinto) is new to a Bronx, N.Y., hospital where he’s determined to introduce a new perspective on psychology. He guides a group of interns through dealings with patients and, in the process, gives himself and the novice doctors fresh insights into their own lives.
In making “Brilliant Minds,” Quinto notes that Sacks is “ultimately our North Star. He was an incredible, complex, inspirational and influential doctor and person. It’s this very unique alchemy for me where I get to play a character who is inspired by a real-life person but I’m not tethered to the period or the behavior of that person in real life. I get to take all of the rich tapestry of who Oliver Sacks was and inform the creation of Oliver Wolf, but Oliver Wolf exists in his own world. It’s an experience that I’ve never had before.”
Set to return to Broadway soon in “Cult of Love,” Quinto acknowledges that a certain alchemy also exists between “Brilliant Minds” and a past TV credit of his. He recalls, “’Heroes’ was the job that changed my life and my career 15 years ago on NBC, so it really does feel like coming home in a way. Also interestingly, ‘Heroes’ was about a solar eclipse awakening people’s powers and awakening people’s sense of what they could accomplish in their lives … and we started filming ‘Brilliant Minds’ on April 8, the day of (this year’s) solar eclipse.
“So there was also this connection back to ‘Heroes’ in another way entirely, which made me feel like there was something bigger at play here — and made me feel even more connected to this show and to NBC again.”
