‘Hannibal Rising’ sinks By David Germain
“The Silence of the Lambs,” a role he reprised to considerably lesser effect in the sequel “Hannibal” and the prequel Hannibal Lecter grew tiresome “Red Dragon.” Author Thomas Harris, for the first the second and third times Anthony Hopkins played him as a full-blown time writing the screenplay for one of psychopath in all his seasoned, insa- his Lecter tales, expands on some brief reflections of Hannibal’s childhood tiable glory. Young Hannibal, as played by Gas- in an earlier novel to offer the full pard Ulliel in the ponderously silly back story of how a bright-eyed boy “Hannibal Rising,” is a green, boyish, becomes a cannibalistic monster. The story opens in Lithuania in bland pup by comparison. Watching the earnest but under- 1944, where Hannibal, sister Mischa qualified Ulliel perpetrate Hannibal’s and their parents are trying to ride out initial grisly slayings is like going back the last gasps of World War II. Caught between the Soviet adin time to hear the screeches of a violin virtuoso’s incipient swipes on the vance and the final savagery of local strings the first time he picks up the Nazi sympathizers, Hannibal winds up orphaned and emotionally shattered instrument. “Young Hannibal” chronicles the by an atrocity involving his adorable early years of Lecter, the serial killer baby sister. Harris and director Peter Webber, masterfully played by Hopkins in making a gruesome U-turn from his quiet, artful “Girl With a Pearl Earring,” gloss over Hannibal’s early teen years in a Soviet orphanage and his escape to the West, clunkily transplanting him in an instant to the bosom of his beautiful aunt, Lady Murasaki (Gong Li), in France.

him well in his future hobby as carver and consumer of human flesh. Early on, there are traces of wicked humor and insight into Hannibal’s bestial development, but “Hannibal Rising” quickly tumbles our vicious protagonist into carnal, vengeful butchery merely to satisfy his - and the filmmakers’ - bloodlust. Hannibal embarks on a reign of revenge involving a local butcher who insulted his aunt and then on the brute (Rhys Ifans) and his henchmen responsible for his sister’s horrible fate. It’s savage, visceral - and kind of boring. Nothing Hannibal does, internally or externally, is terribly interesting, and Ulliel’s lightweight presence doesn’t help. Ulliel is best-known to U.S. audiences as Audrey Tautou’s missing lover in “A Very Long Engagement,” where the actor’s boyishness served the story well. As diabolical iceman Lecter, Ulliel’s fresh-faced bloodlust is often farcically grotesque. Gong is typically grand as Murasaki, though realizing the demon her nephew’s becoming, her character’s attachment toward Hannibal is incomprehensible. Dominic West adds a fine supporting role as a French detective on Hannibal’s trail, yet his character’s passivity toward his quarry also is puzzling. The real trouble is with Harris’ story, which asks the audience to embrace Hannibal as a sort of hero and victim whose terrible actions are justified because of his childhood trauma. Hannibal’s a far more engaging character as he appears in “Silence of the Lambs,” a devil without a past, a mythic creature born with the cannibal chromosome, a monster who just is, not one that needs to be explained away. Like that violin virtuoso scratching tunelessly on the strings, Hannibal Lecter had to start somewhere. Doesn’t mean we want to sit through his gradeschool debut recital, though.

Meadows opera will rock your weekend This is the kind of sleazy display of power you can drag your girlfriend to and not even have to buy her a thing for that capitalist crock of garbage we call Valentine’s Day. This opera was written when romance still had class. The sublime union of “Cosi Fan Tutte,” the opera held by Meadows School of the Arts is showing this By Austin Rucker weekend only. Not even Sigmund Freud understood women. This was the case 300 years ago, as Mozart proudly displays. The story unfolds as you might expect it would. Two men, ardently faithful to their women, take a bet out of spite to prove a jaded old man wrong. However, through his evil ways and sly cunning, old Alfonso works magic through the housemaid to bring the women to the edge of sanity. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, anyone who has a significant other of the opposite or same sex can relate to some part of Cosi. The story revolves, as they usually do, around two women who can’t seem to make up their minds. On one hand, they have their bold fiancés in uniform, off to war against a foreign foe. At home, they REVIEW
have two dangerously strange guests, actually their husbands in disguise, testing them at the will of a conniving, elder gentleman for a wager of sizeable wealth. That doesn’t happen to everyone, but then again, its also pretty rare to find a guy who will take a bet on testing the emotions of his betrothed. If that’s not enough, you get a whole gaggle of busty broads and men in uniform, capering around, yelling their heads off to some damn fine music. But it’s not yelling, it’s opera. The resonating baritones of the men drill your gut and sopranos strike like a slap in the face. When all five characters of the main cast sing in unison, the effect is hypnotic. Throw in the explosion of color and costume, and the whole thing swirls into a dream-like trance inducing bliss worthy of an Oscar if someone would just go out and buy a damned camcorder. Seriously, think Prince at the Super Bowl halftime show with a lower budget and more girls. I’m not kidding. Most people around here are idiots, and would much rather spend their early Friday nights pre-partying before heading off to freshmen crowded Homebar. That’s why Meadows will bear its talented bust not once, but three times. Both Friday and Saturday shows go on at 8 p.m., while the Sunday “I’ve got a hangover and need a dark place to relax” matinee begins at noon.
Glamorous gowns debut on Fashion Week runways By Samantha Critchell Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - It must be red-carpet day at New York Fashion Week. The collections presented Thursday by J. Mendel and Badgley Mischka were among the most glamorous to grace the catwalks at the fall previews so far, while Vera Wang’s show was the epitome of chic and sophisticated. Don’t be surprised if some of the gowns, especially Badgley Mischka’s platinum lame and crystal gown or J. Mendel’s stone-colored satin gown with a sexy cowl back and a mermaid hem, turn up on an A-list star sometime in the very near future. Wang’s finale black sequin dress with a silver beaded medallion at the bust and a floating tulle train is for a very cool customer. Fashion Week is entering its homestretch, ending Friday, but several top designers, including Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan, have yet to take their turn on the runway.
Vera Wang: The Russian influence was again evident in Vera Wang’s ultrachic show, but instead of focusing solely on the opulence of the czarinas, Wang also noted the military presence, the dignified peasants and avant-garde artists. “Life during this time represented a turbulent mix of incredible extremes, not to mention the impossible extravagance of the Romanov court,” Wang said in her notes. Want to see all that in a single outfit? How about a gray velvet sleeveless fencing vest with a padded peplum lining and a black pleated chiffon overlay, worn with a gray chiffon straight skirt with chrome sequin details. It was a look made for the runway, full of drama and great photo potential. A more wearable look, however, was an oversized gray wool turtleneck, a charcoal collarless mink coat and a wool gabardine high-waist skirt. Among the best looks overall were a dark-green printed top with a pleated
neck and a jeweled jacquard straight skirt with a padded hem, and an embroidered and padded shift dress in a black-brown taffeta with a military collar and heavy navy wool belt. However, all the padding might be unflattering on women whose figures don’t exactly line up with models. Badgley Mischka: The Badgley Mischka dresses put into fabric a feeling that editors and retailers in the front row have been talking about all week - it’s a season of change. The favored silhouette moves away from volume and becomes more fitted, but it’s not a seismic shift to an ultra-slim body, either. One beautiful smoky-gray gown had a jeweled halter neck and a formfitting bodice but then flowed gracefully from a yoke at the knee. And a sophisticated cocktail dress combined a tight claret-colored sheath with a billowy sheer black overlay. In their daywear, Mark Badgley and James Mischka emphasized the trend of using menswear fabrics for feminine shapes.

Halloween tricks & treats
Throughout the month of October, members of the University Times have been taking random samples of the student body’s vote on favorite Halloween candy. The favorite candy competition began with 16 competitors in the first round of the bracket. Then each week a poll was taken for what candy should move on to the next stage. The Final Four resulted in Snickers versus M&M’s and Tootsie roll Pops versus Skittles. In the end, M&Ms pulled ahead with only a few votes. M&Ms have now been named the official candy favorite of the UNC Charlotte campus.

Congress remains divided after Petraeus testimony WASHINGTON — The long-awaited Petraeus report to Congress, aimed at providing answers to the future of American policy in Iraq, has instead left lawmakers more divided than ever. The two days of testimony by Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker didn’t answer the concerns of those skeptical about the surge and the war or bring the two parties closer together. Most Democrats oppose the administration’s policy while many Republicans have doubts about the war but appear unlikely to join Democrats who want a firm withdrawal date. As a result, the future of the war — and of congressional action to force a change in U.S. policy — remains as murky as ever. Before the Petraeus report, legislators could at least point to it as possibly offering answers. “There’s nothing else to wait for,” said Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., chairman of the House
Armed Services Committee. “What you see is what you get.” Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, one of the most respected Republicans on foreign policy, said his skepticism about Iraq is as strong as ever — and that he has no surefire answers. “In my judgment, some type of success in Iraq is possible, but as policymakers, we should acknowledge that we are facing extraordinarily narrow margins for achieving our goals,” Lugar, ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told Petraeus at Tuesday’s hearing. And Sen. Joseph Biden, DDel., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he’d heard nothing from the two witnesses in terms of “leveling with the American people about when their kids are going to be coming home.” Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, the No. 2 Republican in the House and a strong war backer, accused Democrats of “overplaying their hand” by raising questions about the reliability of Petraeus’ information. Blunt

Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker (right), deliver their testimony about the state of the war in Iraq to the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday. and said the testimony left him “hopeful” about the situation in Iraq. Many Republicans say they’re torn because while the surge of U.S. troops has helped improve security in some parts of Iraq, it hasn’t led to political progress. “I think people recognize
the surge has made a difference, but it hasn’t enabled the Iraqi government to get its act together,” said Rep. Ray LaHood, RIll. With this backdrop, there is no clear path ahead for Congress. Skelton said he hopes President George W. Bush will work with congressional De-
mocrats to achieve a common policy — but the president has continually vowed to veto any measures that tie the hands of military commanders, and Bush’s ability to garner the votes to sustain a veto do not appear to have been lessened by this week’s events. “We have to get it done — forget politics,” Skelton said. Sen. Christopher “Kit” Bond, R-Mo., and vice-chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he remains a strong backer of the war. “The new counterinsurgency strategy to clear, hold and build has brought Iraqi citizens to our side in the fight against al-Qaida and other Islamic terrorists,” he said. This week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., signaled a willingness to listen to all proposals for changing U.S. policy, even those that don’t involve setting a deadline for troop withdrawal. Among legislative proposals are measures to order troop withdrawals to begin this fall but without a clear end point,

limiting the mission of U.S. troops or demanding that Bush submit a new war strategy to Congress. The relatively upbeat outlook provided by Petraeus and Crocker stands at sharp odds with the more pessimistic views presented by three recent government reports — providing fodder for pro-war and anti-war legislators to use whatever information they choose. Republicans have accused Democrats of seeking political advantage by attacking the independence of Petraeus. “It is unfortunate that some are trying to use this candid military evaluation as an opportunity to score political points,” said Rep. Kenny Hulshof, RMo. Skelton said the many hours of testimony will mean little in the long run. “This is the most hyped-up event in modern years, but when history is written this surge won’t even be a footnote,” Skelton said. “The hole’s been dug and it’s pretty hard to fill the hole back in.”

§ Times are a changin’: Reaching your potential and maintaining a successful lovelife
Everything in moderation BY NICOLLE NEULIST SCENE REPORTER
A
new school year is starting. You’re signing up for new classes. You’re meeting new people. You may be moving into a new apartment or dorm. You may be joining new clubs, choosing a new major, or hanging out in different places on the weekends than you did last year. Why am I pointing all of these things in a dating advice column? Simple: because you are going to change this year. You are not exactly the same person you were a year ago. You are also not exactly the same person now as you will be a year from now. Realizing these things is crucial to making the best of your dating life, whether you are single or in a relationship. If you are in a relationship at any age, you need to continually assess your compatibility with your partner as well as the direction your life is heading in relation to that of your partner. This is especially necessary when you are a teenager or in your twenties though, because young adults change so much and so frequently. Young adulthood is when you become mature enough to become comfortable with an identity and take concrete steps to shape it and live by it. Some of the choices you make will
work, and you will continue to integrate them into your life. Some of them will not work, and you will need to figure out another principle or goal that feels more appropriate and follow that instead. And as you reinvent parts of yourself, you need to make sure to keep your partner aware of the changes you make. Tell her what you have learned about yourself and fi nd out what your partner has learned about herself. Continue to discuss the changes you make in your lives, because there will inevitably be changes. Find out whether your current selves are still compatible. If you still work together that’s a good thing, but don’t let that make you complacent. Continue to be mindful of and interested in your growth and that of your partner, and continue to reassess the relationship. It is possible that you may come to the painful realization that who you have become confl icts with who your partner has become. You have to discuss the changes and the confl ict with your partner, and then you have a choice to make. Is the confl ict something that makes things between you and your partner more complex but does not undermine your core values or your ability to be happy? If so, then the confl ict is something you should
probably consider working through, because there still may be a way to make the relationship work long-term if that is what both you and your partner want. However, if your most important values and goals confl ict now with your partner’s core ideals and motivations, you may have to consider whether the relationship is worth continuing. If you impede on something that is important to your partner or your partner is a sort of obstacle to something important to you, then continuing the relationship could very likely breed resentment. Even if it doesn’t, it will at the very least send your ability to become your full adult self (as well as your partner’s ability to become his adult self!) to a grinding halt. Although the risk of realizing you have grown apart is an unpleasant one, it pales in comparison to the misery you will face if you never assess the relationship at all, and only realize years or decades down the road how little you have had in common since you were eighteen, twenty, or twentytwo. If you are single you need to apply this same critical eye to your expectations and your interests. Have you re-evaluated your “type” recently? Or have you been interested in people with the same personality traits and
life interests since you were thirteen? If you take a minute to ask why, it may be for good reason. The characteristics you have sought for years could still describe a person you will enjoy, or a person who is good for you. But, they may not. It may be time to refocus your attentions toward people with new characteristics, characteristics that will complement, nurture and intrigue you as you are now. It’s so comfortable to keep on doing what you’ve always been doing: to see yourself as the same person you’ve been for a very long time or to see your current or potential love interests as the same old people as always. But, you’re changing and they’re changing—it is unrealistic to expect otherwise. Take the time to evaluate these changes now, at the beginning of the school year, when the fact that you are changing is most obvious. You will reach your full potential and be more satisfied in the long run if you get in the habit of evaluating your ideals, your life goals and what you want out of a partner. Do you have any questions about love, dating, sex or romance that you want me to answer in a future Scene column? If so, e-mail them to studlifeadvice@gmail.com. All names will be changed and all identifying details will be confidential.

s we arrive back on campus, many “gettogethers” occur to celebrate reuniting with our friends. Much to my disappointment, it is rare to come across vegetable platters or fruit bowls at these events—you are much more likely to find dishes of the usual chips, cookies and candy. While obviously not healthy choices, it is OK to eat these foods once in a while. I may be the writer and creator of Health Beat, but that doesn’t mean I condemn the idea of eating a cupcake, a cookie or some chips every now and then. However, I do believe that that one must be very careful in doing so because it is easy to binge on tasty treats. You may not see an immediate impact on your health and well-being after enjoying something sugary, but it very well could wreak havoc on your waistline in the not-so-distant future. So what, when and how can you indulge without ending up looking like the Pillsbury Dough Boy? There is a common belief in the dieting world that when it comes to junk food, it is allowed, as long as it is in “moderation.” In this sense, moderation is referring to the quantity and frequency with which one chooses to have high-calorie foods. I’ll use a doughnut as an example of quantity control. The average doughnut has 310 calories and 16.5 grams of fat, but a doughnut hole, which is much smaller, has just 65 calories and 3.5 grams of fat. When it comes to the frequency of eating junk food, having a concrete from Ted Drewes or fries from Bear’s Den every once in a while will not ruin your health. It is when a person has a concrete or fries every night that he or she may develop problems. So what is a healthy portion and how often can you eat these treats? Appropriate portion size of different types of junk food can be determined by the calorie content of each food. For example, seven tortilla chips have more calories than fifteen mini
pretzels. Every food differs in fat, carbohydrate, sugar and calorie content, and all are important components in determining the relative “healthiness” of a food. But when it comes to weight maintenance, calorie intake is the most important thing to watch. If you eat as many
Brooke Genkin calories as you burn in a day, you will maintain your weight. Eat more calories than you burn and you will gain weight; eat fewer calories than the daily allotment and you’ll lose weight. Thus if you choose to splurge, it is important to keep in mind just how many calories you are adding to your daily intake. There are many treats on campus that contain between 200 and 250 calories. If you are a sweets person, you can indulge on 1 whole Rice Krispie treat, 2/3 of a sugar cookie with M&Ms or half a brownie with walnuts. If salty is more your style, a snack-size bag of Rold Gold Pretzels, Ruffles, Nacho Doritos or ¼ of a serving of Bear’s Den tortilla chips are all good choices. You can check the nutritional information of the “junk foods” on campus by visiting http://diningservices.wustl.edu/. Select a dining location on campus and click on the nutrition pyramids to find out ingredients and nutrition information in different food items. Keep in mind that as a general rule you should eat healthy snacks and meals, but even in a healthy diet there is always some room for junk food, as long as it is “in moderation.”
