FROM THE EDITOR As I write this, the countdown clock stands at 1 hour and 46 minutes until the doors open at the Salt Palace Convention Center for Salt Lake Comic Con. That means that if I shrugged off the rest of my editor responsibilities for this publication and left right now, I might just make it in time — assuming I could find a place to park closer than West Valley.

I spent the better part of a September Saturday at the inaugural Salt Lake Comic Con, and it’s hard to believe a year has already gone by. And how much things have changed in that

time span.

At this time a year ago, no one knew what to expect. Event organizers were expecting maybe 30,000 to show up, but in the end, they literally had to turn people away because 70,000-80,000 was all the facility could handle. In fact, things went so well, that the powers-that-be couldn’t wait until this fall, and quickly organized an offshoot event in April called Salt Lake Comic Con FanX that was also quite successful.

Heading into this year’s Comic Con, of course, most of the recent attention surrounding the event has been centered on a lawsuit filed by San Diego Comic-Con alleging trademark infringement on the part of Salt Lake Comic Con. While that battle seems destined to be settled in court, this year’s Salt Lake

Comic Con is determined to head into hyphen-drive ... ‘er, hyper-drive. I’m still not sure if I’ll be able to make it down again, but I’d like to.

While I’m hardly a major comic book fan or sci-fi junkie, there are plenty of stars I wouldn’t mind seeing like Elaine Benes’ boyfriend from “Seinfeld,” that weird-looking, moon-boot wearing kid from Preston, Brooke Hogan’s dad, one of the “Ghostbusters,” the owner of my favorite chicken restaurant in Albuquerque, Hulk Hogan’s daughter, the hero from “Sharknado 90210” and that Jeannie I used to dream about.

It’s a pop-culture smorgasbord that is rather difficult to pass up.

Governor pays tribute to USU’s Jessop

Caine College dean receives Utah Performing Artist Award

By Denise Albiston USU Media Relations

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert honored Craig Jessop, founding dean of the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University, last month with the prestigious 2014 Utah Performing Artist Award, part of the Governor’s Mansion Artist Series.

“We want to appreciate what Craig Jessop has done to enhance music throughout the state,” Herbert said during the reception that honored not only Jessop, but St. George visual artist Roland Lee. A series started in 1997, the Utah Governor’s Mansion Artist Awards recognize the finest in visual and performing arts throughout the state. Jessop was recognized by the governor for his achieve-

ments in music and as a champion of the arts throughout the state, but also recognized for his artistic contribution to the world.

“We all feel like we know Craig,” Herbert said during a reception at the Governor’s Mansion. “He started very young in music and has done some exceptional things. Because of his talent, he has performed in some of the most beautiful places in the world.”

With more than 150 individuals in attendance, Jessop, a Millville native and former conductor of the awardwinning Mormon Tabernacle Choir, accepted the honor bestowed upon him by the Utah governor and presented one of what he calls his most crowning achievements — music students from the Caine College

have contributed to the state or represent the state throughout communities locally and nationally. Andrus said after the committee selects a number of candidates, the list is then submitted to the governor’s office.

Herbert then personally selects the recipients.

The honor is given to six artists annually. “(Jessop) is considered one of the treasures of the arts community,” said Andrus. “His body of work is appreciated throughout the state.”

‘Longest Week’ is a pale Allen imitation

By Jocelyn Noveck AP National Writer

In “The Longest Week,” Jason Bateman plays a privileged, pampered, narcissistic New Yorker whose sole effort at productivity in life is his meandering work on a novel called “The Directionless Generation.”

This may be a winking reference to the character himself, who clearly lacks direction, but alas, it’s an even more prescient reference to the movie as a whole. There are moments here and there to be enjoyed, mainly for the slick visuals (and wonderfully hip New York apartments), but basically it feels like a directionless enterprise.

And though the film is only 86 minutes long, it tends to feel bloated and even a bit tedious by the end — perhaps not an entire generation long, but too long nonetheless.

It also feels deriva-

tive of other filmmaking styles. Writer-director Peter Glanz, making his debut feature, is clearly a Woody Allen fan; he uses the same jazzy-type music to accompany his dreamily appealing views of New York City, and he likes psychoanalysis scenes, too. Heck, the first scene has our main character, Conrad, venting to his analyst about his troubles with women, and the analyst is none other than Allen favorite Tony Roberts. Conrad even refers to himself as “Jungian.”

Bateman’s no stranger to unlikable characters — remember his memorable misanthrope in the recent “Bad Words,” who mercilessly stole spelling-bee trophies from innocent kids? But at least that character had an important justification for his ugly behavior, albeit one we didn’t learn ‘til the end. Here, Bateman’s Conrad doesn’t have a redeeming secret. He’s just rich and self-centered and duplicitous.

Conrad has lived his entire life in the sump-

Conrad makes a Tom Collins, or ties a perfect Windsor knot in his necktie. The two share a few blissful days together — kissing by the river, for example, as the Manhattan lights glow (another Allen specialty) before things get really messy.

Conrad, it seems, is not destined to be happy. Nor is he destined to grow up.

Or is he? The movie’s epilogue seeks to impart a little meaning to Conrad’s journey.

But by then, we’ve pretty much stopped caring.

“Very soon, this whole structure that we all love so much will be gone,” prophesies Danny Huston’s wide-grinning movie studio head in Ari Folman’s “The Congress.”

He’s speaking to Robin Wright, who plays a version of herself in the film. In a meeting with Wright and her perplexed agent (Harvey Keitel), Huston’s Jeff Green, the head of the wryly fictional Miramount Studios, relishes foretelling a coming doomsday for actors: a reckoning that will rid the movie business of their gross inefficiency.

All the trappings of movie stardom — “the trailers ... the skipping out on PR ... the coke ... the sexual kinks,” he glowers, is disappearing. The industry is changing, and he couldn’t be happier to see picky actors like Wright vanish.

What he wants is to scan her, to “sample” her and turn Wright, or as he says, “this thing called Robin Wright,” into a digital avatar that the stu-

‘The Congress’

‘Guardians’ tops the summer box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — The intergalactic misfits of “Guardians of the Galaxy” are the summer’s box-office superheroes.

Marvel’s cosmic romp topped the Labor Day box office with a threeday take of $22 million — its third time in first place since its release five weeks ago, according to studio estimates Monday.

With North American

ticket sales of more than $280 million so far, “Guardians” is also the summer’s — and the year’s — top-grossing film to date domestically.

Still, summer boxoffice totals are down almost 15 percent from last year, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak.

Meta and mad, ‘The Congress’ is a trip

CELEBRATE AMERICA

Bringing the Big Band Era to life For the 15th year, the Celebrate America

Show is taking audience members on a sentimental journey to America 1930s and ’40s, highlighting the music of that era. The show started on Tuesday and will continue nightly through Saturday at the Evan Stevenson Ballroom in the Taggart Student Center at Utah State University.

“It’s an event that takes people back in time to appreciate the music of yesteryear, especially that of the Great Depression and the Big Band Era and Glenn Miller and learn what their contribution to America was through music,” said Brenda Anthony, the founding director of Celebrate America.

The show travels through the immigrant boom of the early 1900s, the swinging ’20s, the Great Depression and ended with World War II. Eight Stardust Singers and eight Stardust Dancers perform a variety of numbers, including “Sway,” “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” The 4Hims, a group of singing brothers,

present a special barbershop quartet while Addie Younker shares a special tribute to the late Shirley Temple.

This is the show’s second year hosting an educational outreach program. On Tuesday night, local school children got to see the show before it opened and even participate.

“These are fourth- and fifth-graders from six schools in the city and the county,” Anthony said before the performance. “Since school started, their music teachers have been teaching them two songs that they’ll sing in the show tonight. Along with that, they have been teaching them some music history and why these songs are important.”

New this year is the Freeman Award, given to a different World War II veteran every performance. The award is named after Lt. Col. Von Freeman, a WWII vet who came to the Celebrate America Show for many years and helped support the show financially.

“He passed about a year ago this June,” Anthony said. “Because he was such a financial support to the show, we are introducing this award in his honor. So, each of the

shows, we will honor a World War II veteran with a plaque, and we’ve partnered with the Utah Honor Flight. They will fly the veteran back to Washington, D.C., to see the World War II Memorial.”

According to Jaron Putnam, the show’s music director, the most difficult aspect of the annual performance is the fact the singers are both singing and dancing.

“I would say that from a singers’ standpoint, it’s the fact that we’re singing and dancing and trying to sell to the audience,” Putnam said. “So there are a lot of things going on, a lot of things that the singers need to be thinking about, that everyone needs to be thinking about.”

Putnam, who has been with the show for the past two years, said that there is no show like Celebrate America around.

“This is such a unique show and there aren’t many shows like this, especially 1940s, big-band-esque shows,” Putnam said. “To me, the biggest draw is coming in and having a big band playing and the singing and the dancing. It’s an all around great experience.”

A handful of Slightly Off tips from a Center comedy vet This has never been explicitly designated a humor column; I just use that description to give myself license to lie, make stuff up and generally disregard any journalistic code of ethics. That, and the fact that saying you are funny automatically makes you unfunny.

No matter what other things Robin Williams did in his personal life and career, he will always be thought of as a comedian. This is one of the traps of comedy. You can seldom be thought of as an ex-

With all respect to the dead, anybody who has even dipped a toenail into the comedy business would not be surprised that someone like Robin Williams would take his own life.

you have to come up with original material that tricks the audience into thinking you just made it up on the spot, even though you may have done the bit 100 times before.

2. Observe: You really can’t be the life of the party and be a comedian. Comedy is mainly an observational skill. You look at something and think, “That doesn’t make sense.” For instance, why that store called Old Navy when nothing in it is old or related to the Navy?

3. Exaggerate: Don’t confuse exaggeration with sarcasm. Sarcasm is best used in moderation because it can be annoying and relies too much on inflection. You can add humor to any situa-

tion by coming up with obscure comparisons when describing anything as bigger than, faster than, dumber than, etc. To wit, this tip is about as useful as DVD for an iPad. 4. Work on your infliction and facial expression. Start with this simple phrase: “I didn’t call you an idiot.” Put the infection on a different word each time you say it. Or this one: “Are you just married, or just married?”

5. The rule of thirds.

Just like a photo is more pleasing when the main subject isn’t centered and occupies only onethird of the frame, things are funnier in threes.

For instance: “The most abused drugs in Cache Valley are crystal meth

and marijuana” is not as funny as “the most abused drugs in Cache Valley are crystal meth, marijuana and Aggie Ice Cream.”

6. The Heisenberg Principle of Humor: Studying humor changes it and may make it unfunny. Humor is all about sleight of hand and the unexpected.

It’s about making the rehearsed seem spontaneous. The worst thing you can do is say, “OK class, now I’m going to be funny.”

So go forth and be funny, but watch your step. It doesn’t always end well.

NEW YORK (AP) — “The Good Wife,” ‘’Homeland,” ‘’Scandal,” ‘’Nurse Jackie” and, well, “Girls” are just a few current shows that put women front and center.

And this fall, even more women are stepping up.

As if TV programmers were in a classroom cribbing off one another’s exams, a few common themes emerge. One prevalent theme: the fantasy world of comic books and sci-fi, courtesy of newcomers “The Flash” (CW), “Gotham” (Fox), “Constantine” (NBC) and “Forever” (ABC). Spies and antiterrorism also remain big in our heebie-jeebie era, with “Scorpion” (CBS) as well as a couple of the shows below.

But strong females are the dominant trend — and dominate in prime time this fall.

— “MADAM SECRETARY” (CBS, Sept.

21). Elizabeth McCord is a loving wife and mother and a brilliant former CIA analyst who is abruptly drawn back into public life as U.S. secretary of state after the incumbent’s suspicious death. Tea Leoni plays a woman who has it all — including growing concerns that she, too, may be on the endangered list.

— “THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA” (NBC; Sept. 24). Detective Laura Diamond doesn’t flinch, whether it’s flouting regulations to nab a bad guy or cooking up a scheme to get her twin boys into a private school. She’s always in a frenzy, forever creating waves, and mostly getting what she wants through sheer force of

Books ‘Original Sin’ is tense, disturbing thriller

By Bruce DeSilva Associated Press

The dying old man on cardiac surgeon Lucy Wagner’s operating table was bleeding out from an aortic aneurism.

As she desperately massaged his failing heart, a chill flowed into her fingers, up her arm and into her chest. And then she fell, collapsing onto the hospital floor.

The patient, as it turns out, was John Scully, the pastor of a secretive, snakehandling cult that held services outside Lucy’s small hometown of Remington, Tennessee.

As far as Lucy knew, neither she nor anyone close to her had any

connection to him. But she was wrong.

When science and faith collide, author D.P. Lyle wants us to know, things can get contentious — and occasionally violent. Followers of each are seekers, walking very different

paths to find answers to life’s mysteries. And, Lyle demonstrates in this tense and disturbing thriller, not all mysteries have answers.

In the aftermath of Scully’s death, Lucy has vivid, frightening dreams.

She has trouble remaining upright while she is operating. Her surgical patients, too, begin having similar dreams.

And then the murders begin.

Lucy’s best friend is Samantha Cody, the California police officerprotagonist in a series of Lyle’s novels. In town to visit her friend, Samantha joins local police officer Ty Everson and Lucy in an increasingly desperate attempt to unlock the mystery behind the escalating

violence. The investigation draws them into the bizarre world of Scully’s church and a collision with the preacher’s monomaniacal successor, his hired thugs and shocking secrets about Lucy’s past. The key to the case, Lucy comes to suspect, is locked inside the addled mind of the old woman who raised her.

Lyle, a practicing cardiologist himself and the author of numerous nonfiction books and thrillers, handles the medical details of the tale with expected precision. But he is also a gifted storyteller with a talent for character development.

The result is a fine thriller that crosses into the subgenres of medical mystery and police procedural.

Don’t miss French’s ‘Secret Place’ Clive Cussler returns

By Michelle Scheraga Associated Press

Tana French is irrefutably one of the best crime fiction writers out there. Her latest, “The Secret Place,” is a mesmerizing story set in a girls’ boarding school in Dublin.

The murder of Chris Harper, a student at the neighboring boys’ school, happened about a year ago and the case is cold, until Detective Stephen Moran, last seen in 2010’s “Faithful Place,” receives a visit by Frank Mackey’s daughter Holly (also of “Faithful Place”). Holly is now 16 and a student at St. Kilda’s. She brings Stephen a photo of Chris, captioned in ransom-letter text, “I know who killed him.” The photo had been posted on a bulletin board called the Secret Place, a safe space meant for stu-
