NEWS & OPINION EDITOR’S NOTE

BY JIM MOREKIS

jim@connectsavannah.com

AS LUCK and serendipity would have it, we have not only one but two great pieces in this week’s issue about self-driving cars.

Our urbanism columnist Jason Combs has written a compelling piece from the point of view of someone initially skeptical of the concept who has come to (almost) fully embrace it.

Straight Dope columnist Cecil Adams, in his regular syndicated column, explains some of the reservations about self-driving cars and some of the challenges facing its widespread adoption and acceptance.

Having these two columns in the same issue is coincidental, but then again maybe not so much: Self-driving cars are a topic on a lot of minds these days, and the idea is definitely a conversation (or argument) starter, that’s for sure.

And how long before the government says, oops, looks like you owe some parking tickets, or back taxes, or got flagged on Facebook. We won’t let any self-driving cars start for you today.

But the simple truth is that in an age of drone warfare, AI, algorithms, the sharing economy, and rapidly expanding wireless/cloud connectivity — not to mention cheaper global fuel prices in order to make all that electricity affordable in the first place — self-driving cars aren’t unrealistic at all. That is actually one of the weakest arguments against them.

A stronger argument against self-driving cars, and the ride-sharing economy itself, might be that they might act as a steroid rather than as a remedy for overreliance on automobiles — further marginalizing efforts to improve public transportation and alternative transportation, like bicycles.

But that is a question for more learned minds than mine.

automotive congestion has reached critical mass in the places where people most want to live.

Public transportation and ride-sharing are now not only desired politically by a larger and larger group of people, they are becoming more practical solutions than packing people onto roads which in many cases can’t be widened any further.

When my friends and I turned 16, that very day, we all insisted on getting our driver’s licenses first thing in the morning and zooming off by ourselves and with friends everywhere, as soon as humanly possible.

(Often, we even drove cars with — gasp! — manual transmissions. Oh, the humanity!)

Nowadays it’s a standard joke among parents that pushing their teenagers to go get their driver’s license is like pulling teeth. They just don’t care about it.

Millennials, quite simply, for the most part just don’t like cars very much, nor do

The more I look at it, the more I see that the real debate about autonomous cars is about differing concepts of the meaning of freedom itself.

One of the great things about Connect Savannah is we have a wide range of viewpoints here, some of which conflict with each other. That’s a feature, not a bug.

A core mission of the paper is to provide a venue for different viewpoints, ones you may not typically hear in the mainstream, or ones you may not come across in your possibly tightly curated Facebook feed.

I sometimes enjoy good-natured debates with our own writers about issues, and this is one of them.

I certainly don’t have the urban planning and design credentials of Jason, nor the research staff available to Cecil. I tend to approach these things from more of a historical, cultural, and political basis.

My initial, kneejerk take was that selfdriving cars are a grossly unrealistic form of corporate/government overreach, one that inevitably would be used to control, track, and manipulate citizens into being ever more compliant members of a sort of soft-totalitarian, technocratic hive mind, our heads buried in our iPhones, frantically liking social media posts while robots do all the important work.

A self-driving car means a tracked car, with all your movements, whether for work or for pleasure or for no particular reason at all, becoming part of a record.

Personally, the more I look at it, the more I see that the real issue is about differing concepts about what freedom itself means. That to me is the core debate.

More and more, I’m finding that younger generations tend to find security and a sense of freedom in what an older generation, like mine, would consider a stifling and insulting lack of freedom and respect.

Both points of view are understandable.

When I learned how to drive, cars were just plain faster and the roads, frankly, were much less crowded. Driving was a real pleasure, and to this day it’s an activity I really enjoy.

The concept of public transportation wasn’t popular then outside a small handful of major metro areas. Some of that resistance was political and cultural, i.e. the push to spread outward into the suburbs ran counter to the idea of urban density.

But some of it was simply practical: There was more room on the roads, because there were fewer people. The population of the earth has doubled just in my own lifetime.

However, in an ever more urbanizing America, as the phenomenon of “White Flight” reverses itself and investment returns to city centers all over the U.S.,

many of them like to drive. It’s not a priority. A stick shift seems like a medieval torture device or inexplicable ancient mystery to them.

And in their own context, that is as understandable as people in prior generations finding a sense of freedom in driving on the open road, in their own car, answerable to no one. (Bruce Springsteen built an entire career writing songs about that.)

There is freedom in firing up a fast car, or even a not-so-fast car, and just taking to the road and being your own boss — a feeling you might not have in many other parts of your life.

Then again, there’s also very real freedom in tapping on Uber or Lyft — or soon enough, summoning a shareable self-driving vehicle — and having your ride show up 60 seconds later to take you wherever you need to go, without you having to pay for insurance, or maintenance, or new tires, or gas, or killing someone on the road because you’re over the legal limit.

That’s a form of freedom too, and in the end every generation gets to determine what freedom means to them, for better or worse. CS

for regulated medical marijuana and laying groundwork for a statewide industrial hemp industry.

In addition to representing at the Georgia Assembly this year when the Senate passed a bill legalizing the use of cannabis oil to treat AIDS, autism and a handful of other conditions, the Georgia CARE Project also launched its City by City Initiative to further its legislative goals.

“This allows cities to say, ‘we don’t want to wait for the state,’” continued Ruppersberg to the 50-person crowd gathered in Bull Street Labs’ super cool co-working space (so much mid-century modern goodness here, and all the furniture is on wheels, yo!)

“We believe this is a better way to police the community.”

Technically, the city ordinances are more of a “deprioritization” than actual decriminalization, but it has the same effect of reducing incarcerations for an increasingly accepted substance.

A majority of Americans believe weed is way safer than alcohol, and 60 percent of Americans think cannabis should be completely legal in all shapes and forms.

Yet even as more states legalize recreational and medical use, enforcing existing marijuana laws continue to cost taxpayers $3.6 billion a year, and

“We’re trying to create a *buzz* about how this can change the way we think about crime and safety in this community.” dope-only arrests outnumber those for violent crimes across the country.

Policy wonks figure with 800,000 people currently in jail on marijuana charges, it will cost taxpayers a whopping $45 billion over the course of their sentences.

There’s also proof that possession isn’t equal in the eyes of the law: If you’re a person of color, you’re four times as likely to be busted, though use has been proven to be the same across racial lines.

According to a study in Atlanta between 2014 and 2016, a shocking 92 percent of those arrested for marijuana possession were African American.

And we all know how badly it can go to have weed while black: Philando Castile was killed because the officer who pulled him over said he “felt threatened” by the burnt smell in the car, and a glimpse of rolling papers gave police reason to confront Keith L. Scott in Charlotte, NC, leading to his death by shooting.

Check out our summer camp each week!

This isn’t to suggest that Savannah police target particular groups or that everyone with a one-hitter in their glove box is some kind an angel. But decriminalizing personal stashes would not only save money and resources for more serious problems, it would also go a long way to equalizing the city’s chronic social justice issues, diverting young kids just blowing off steam from a possible lifetime within the prison industrial complex.

“Once someone goes to jail, even if they get probation, their chances for getting a decent job and being a productive member of society goes way down,” reminded Sean Geng, president of locally-based head shop Smoke Cartel.

“The fees could be put towards truly progressive drug education and supporting our police department’s public safety programs,” suggested his business partner, Darby Cox, to concerns that the ordinance could send the wrong message to youth about substance abuse.

These enterprising millennials—who have built one of the largest online retail cannabis paraphernalia business in the country in the last two years, so much for the lazy stoner clichés—already know that smokers gonna smoke. They’ve taken the lead along with others of the Savannah CARE Project to strategize and educate citizens that holding a little laughing grass in Savannah doesn’t have to be a crime. (Criminal consequences for growing it, selling it and being a minor with it would still apply.)

The most direct path to implementing the Georgia CARE Project initiative in Savannah would take, *ahem*, a joint decision of a majority of the City Council. But it’s hard to imagine the current roster shaking up the status quo, even if in the long run it would reduce arrests and generate revenue.

There’s also the option of a special referendum, which would require signatures from 15 percent of registered voters in the city—around 9000—to bring it to the ballot.

Seems like a lot, considering the voter burnout, um, turnout in the last election.

But considering the pot poll numbers, the movement might bogart enough support to puff-puff-pass. cs The Savannah CARE Project meets at 6pm, July 24 at Bull Street Labs, 2222 Bull St.

So, eventually I took a closer look at this supposed future-trend that in the past I’d been very skeptical and dismissive of, considering it a form of techno-Pollyannaism (which I don’t completely retract).

Into my hands was placed an innocuous sounding recruitment document— “Rethinking Transportation 2020-2030” by the RethinkX think-tank (Google it). I dare you to read the executive summary and not get excited about robot cars.

The RethinkX analysis, which claims to do a better job of taking into account the dynamics of a disruptive technology than other analyses of AEVs, forecasts that by 2030, 95 percent of vehicle miles travelled will be in “on-demand autonomous electric vehicles.”

The vast majority of these AEVs will not be personally owned, but part of a fleet.

Riders will pay by the ride, or purchase a plan with a particular fleet. These fleets will also mesh with public transportation networks, creating a seamless web that

provides access to all corners of urban areas, and reaching out beyond.

This is the end-game for Uber and Lyft (and Google, and Tesla...). Their current systems (with human drivers, ha) are just potty-training you for the real revolution, my friends.

The report predicts that individually owned internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles will still make up 40 percent of vehicles in 2030, but they will account for only 5 percent of miles driven.

Thus in the near future, the decision to personally own a car will become much like the decision to own a boat—you won’t need one, but it might be fun to have, and will also be seen as something of a status symbol, a declaration of personal freedom.

Some people will still need to own a land vehicle of some sort, either by trade, or because of where they live. A roofer needs a truck, just as a shrimper needs a boat.

In rural areas, where the cost of operating an AEV fleet rises dramatically, as do wait times, residents will likely still need to have their own vehicles, just as people living on islands have boats.

For most everyone else, personal ownership just won’t make sense anymore.

As the report states: “Individual vehicle ownership, especially of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, will enter a vicious cycle of increasing costs, decreasing convenience and diminishing quality of service.”

Sounds just like owning a boat, am I right?

But wait, you say, having to constantly pay by the ride is going to be too expensive.

Not according to the report—fleet membership will be four to 10 times cheaper

than buying a new vehicle, and even be two to four times cheaper than buying and driving a used car.

Estimated savings for the average family is $5,600 a year. Aggregated across the country, that’s over $1 TRILLION of newly disposable income per year, or “the largest infusion of consumer spending in history.”

Damn. It will be like having a fleet of magic carpets that put money in your pocket. But some downsides immediately come to mind. The RethinkX report glosses over the biggest with this bullet point: “Conventional energy and transportation industries will suffer substantial job loss. Policies will be needed to mitigate these adverse effects.”

Boy, is that an understatement. We are talking millions and millions of jobs, and not just jobs lost due to the robot car revolution. Robots are coming for many more jobs, all the time—salespeople and counter workers of all types, accountants, unskilled manual laborers, to name just a few classes that will soon be decimated.

People can retrain, or follow their passions, but to what end? How many people can make a living selling products of the “Maker Culture” to one another on Etsy?

I’m sure that new jobs and industries will arise that we cannot predict. That, or we are going to have to start having some very serious discussions about Universal Basic Income, soon.

And speaking of things we can’t predict, what will The Law of Unintended Consequences have to say about AEV fleets and urban form? It seems like they would make dense, compact urban form more possible and convenient, but will human desire do the opposite and smear residential development even further across the landscape?

Anyone that can afford to own and maintain a personal self-driving car will be able to make housing choices as if they employed a live-in chauffeur. Commute time is negligible when you can sleep and/ or work during it.

And don’t get me started on what the collapse in demand for oil could do in some already volatile regions of the world.

But despite my continued worries and reservations, I have joined the Church of the AEV because I have come to the realization that robot cars can deliver unto me a very dear, very particular bit of

wish-fulfillment.

Robot cars don’t need to park. Therefore, people will have to shut up about parking issues. To me, that is worth the loss of millions of jobs and any prospect of peace in the Middle East .

NIMBYs will have to think of a new go-to gripe when they don’t want something, other than “there won’t be enough parking.” Oh, glory be to that day!

Another favorite gripe, sometimes sincere and other times just NIMBYism wearing SJW clothing, is “it displaces affordable housing.” Hopefully this can also be taken off the board, thanks to robot cars.

Real estate is a zero-sum game—in reality anything that isn’t affordable housing is displacing affordable housing. Therefore, the biggest use displacing affordable housing is, you guessed it, parking lots.

I can give you facts and figures about how much surface parking we have in this country, but I will not. Just look around.

It’s everywhere.

Douglas Shoup, author of The High Cost of Free Parking, once said on a Freakonomics podcast: “America is the Saudi Arabia of developable land” due to the incredible amount of surface area we allot to parking.

By 2030, perhaps churches alone can solve our affordable housing shortages by turning their now-useless (and property tax free) surface parking lots into affordable housing. I can think of many church parking lots in highly desirable areas for working class people. Step up, churches.

But enough of the fevered rantings of the newly converted. Robot cars will happen, quicker than you think.

Rather than being behind the curve, as with most trends, Savannah should be on the bleeding edge of this one.

The Oglethorpe Plan of the Landmark District, with its small blocks, and high proportion of area given to streets, is ideal for the operation of an AEV fleet.

The District can accommodate more residents and more tourists, but it cannot accommodate their cars and parking needs. It’s time to convert.

In 1864, the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah made a deal with an approaching force, much to the benefit of the city.

It is time to do it again. Let’s make a deal to be an early adopter of an AEV fleet. CS

‘No bombing, no rockets, no death’

Refugee family finds sanctuary and solace in Savannah

BY ORLANDO MONTOYA

JULY 5-11, 2017

SYRIAN REFUGEE and new Savannah neighbor Naji Abousaleh remembers safer times in Aleppo, where he lived most of his 67 years and taught English. But safe wasn’t happy.

“Because you’re afraid,” he says.

“Because of the spies that work for the government. You dare not speak one word against Ba’ath or the president of Syria.”

Fear became deadly in 2011. The Syrian 12 civil war has killed about 400,000 people

and displaced seven million. Abousaleh fled three years ago with his wife and three children.

“To leave your house is something very painful,” he says. “Everything that you built, everything that you bought…

And then after that you say, ‘Goodbye, country?’”

Their journey to safety and freedom involved hiring a “coyote” to guide them through a mountainous forest in an illegal border crossing into Turkey, guns firing in the distance.

It involved years living in Turkish limbo, where twin diagnoses gave Abousaleh both new fear and new hope. His wife has MS. He has prostate cancer.

Their health moved them to the front of the UN resettlement line. But this wasn’t a buffet line. They didn’t choose their new country, although they got a good one.

And they didn’t choose to leave their sons, either. The sons are older. They can fend for themselves. So the family is scattered in Turkey, Germany and the U.S. They didn’t choose any of this.

Now, Abousaleh defines happiness in pretty simple terms. It’s seeing the doctor. It’s watching his 10-year-old daughter bike around their Southside apartment complex.

“No bombing, no rockets, no death,” he says. “She can gather with some Syrian girls, three or four of them and all of them

have got bikes.”

I met Abousaleh in the dining hall of White Bluff Methodist Church, where multi-faith volunteers cooked Middle Eastern fare in a “welcome dinner” for area refugees.

This was the first of what organizers hope will be monthly repasts of hospitality for those who find themselves in our part of the world after fleeing terror.

“Resettling refugees is not just the right thing to do, it’s a responsibility that we have as a powerful country,” says Lauren Cruickshank, our local refugee resettlement coordinator.

Cruickshank works for Lutheran Services of Georgia, one of many nonprofits

nationwide that do the hard work of moving refugees to self-sufficiency within 90 days of arrival.

“The backbone of this program is employment,” she says. “Our employment specialist works with a number of employers here in Savannah who often will approach us.”

God bless these employers. And even if you don’t have a job or an apartment to offer, you have unwanted furniture, clothes and food or a free hour with you car. You can help.

Because these people didn’t win the jackpot, as some would have you believe.

I met Abousaleh between radiation treatments. His wife is disabled. There’s no cure for MS.

What will happen to the three of them?

Of course, Abousaleh would like for his family to be made whole, especially for the youngest child in case, well, she needs her brothers.

But only time will tell with their health.

And only time will tell with the politics, too.

Since January, resettlements have slowed to a trickle. How long will fear rule us?

I ask Abousaleh why he was so eager to speak with me that night. Honestly, I didn’t expect to meet anyone who spoke English or wanted to open his or her life to questions.

He says he wanted me to tell you something. “Islam wants us to love everybody,” he says. “We don’t accept any kind of terrorism.”

“It feeds into my mission of bringing new things and ideas to people, and this parade is right on the money.”

NEWS & OPINION STRAIGHT DOPE

People talk as if self-driving cars are only a few years away. This seems nuts to me. My Galaxy smartphone can’t even do voice recognition properly, and we’re banking that a car will be able to drive itself safely in the complexity of city traffic?—Astro, via the Straight Dope Message Board YOU MAY not expect to see self-driving cars on the road soon, but you know who does? Ford, for one, which plans to release a fully autonomous vehicle by 2021. BMW says the same thing. Audi wants to debut one by 2020; Volkswagen, by 2019.

Like objects in your passenger-side mirror, the future may in fact be closer than it appears. Still, you’ve got a point. No technology goes from rare to ubiquitous overnight.

So will driverless vehicles really be on the road in two or three years? Heck, they’re there now: as of March, 27 developers were operating a total of 180 autonomous cars on California highways.

Will we see them in cities? Uber’s been testing its cars in Pittsburgh since last fall. Will they soon become available to any buyer who’s ready to try one? Well, that’s what could take a little longer. Some roadblocks between here and widespread

adoption: Regulatory. Fifty different states? As it stands, that makes 50 entities with different regulations governing self-driving cars, if they’ve bothered to write any. This presents an impediment to manufacturers who want their products to go national and can’t design a car for both Michigan (where regulators are leaning toward allowing steering-wheel-less, brake-pedal-less vehicles) and California (where they’re not). Then there’s the city level. According to a recent report, only 6 percent of major U.S. municipalities had a plan on the books dealing with autonomous vehicles. Should, for example, driverless cars get their own lanes? Don’t expect consensus off the bat.

Legal. Whose insurance company is on the hook in a crash where both drivers are computers? Here’s an example of the wholesale cultural transformation that any significant switch to driverless vehicles will entail, changing not just how we design cars and roads, but how we think about things like car insurance, public transportation, etc. In this case the short answer is: most experts figure that in the self-driving-car era, liability will no longer be on drivers but on manufacturers, as with most consumer products.

(The question of “fault” isn’t just for lawyers; ethicists need to chew it over too.

Say a kid jumps in front of your car and the only way to avoid hitting him is to swerve into a pole, thereby putting Grandma, riding shotgun, in mortal danger. Tough enough for a human to think through; how’s a computer going to make the call?)

Technological. Plenty going on here.

Proposed federal regulations would mandate, in the next few years, that all cars come equipped with vehicle-to-vehicle technology, whereby they can share data with one another—to activate, for instance,

autonomous braking if one car finds itself too close to the next car’s bumper. Driverless cars will also need to get better at staying in their lane when road-surface markings are obscured by rain or snow.

And developers are figuring out how to provide vehicles with site-specific info about wherever they’re driving: Google, perhaps unsurprisingly, is out there making ultra-detailed 3-D maps, to be updated continually.

I left the tech part for last because in some ways that’s the lowest hurdle—it might take some tinkering, but everybody assumes it’s only a matter of time. From another angle, though, it presents the biggest problem: not the apparatus and software itself, but getting people to trust that these cars aren’t going to get them killed.

This is no small matter: a recent survey found that 78 percent of Americans are afraid of self-driving cars. As analysts have pointed out, new car technology faces a unique degree of marketplace resistance; with a smartphone, say, consumers will overlook a few not-yet-resolved bugs to get the latest functionality, but they’re not quite as risk-tolerant when those bugs might involve pulling out in front of a semi.

So any minor incident tends to put a chill on the self-driving conversation—as it did last year, when a Google-operated Lexus sideswiped a public bus in the company’s hometown of Mountain View, California.

“For there to be consumer acceptance of these vehicles, they have to be virtually perfect,” a former director of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration told a panel audience last year.

In other words, we’re dealing not so much with technological problems as with ones of human behavior—suggesting we may yet have a while to wait. CS

In May, Maxcy Dean Filer, 60, of Compton, California, finally passed the California Bar exam. He graduated from law school in 1966, but had failed the exam in each of his previous 47 tries.

2004

The New York Times reported on a Washington, D.C., man whose love of music led him, in the ‘60s, to meticulously hand-make and hand-paint facsimile record album covers of his fantasized music, complete with imagined lyric sheets and liner notes, and, even more incredibly, to hand-make cardboard facsimiles of actual grooved discs to put inside them.

“Mingering Mike,” whom a reporter and two hobbyists tracked down, also made real music, on tapes, using his and friends’ voices to simulate instruments. His 38 imagined “albums” were discovered at a flea market after Mike defaulted on storage-locker fees, and the hobbyists who found them said they were so exactingly done that a major museum would soon feature them.

1999

From a police report in The Messenger (Madisonville, Kentucky), concerning two trucks being driven strangely on a rural road: A man would drive one truck 100 yards, stop, walk back to a second truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the first truck, stop, walk back to the first truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the second truck, and so on. The man’s brother was passed out drunk in one of the trucks, so the man was driving both trucks home (though the success of such a scheme is better imagined if the driving brother has a high blood-alcohol reading, too—which was the case).

1988

And, from the very first “News of the Weird” column came good ol’ Hal Warden, the Tennessee 16-year-old who was married at 15 and granted a divorce from his wife, 13. Hal had previously been married at age 12 to a 14-year-old (and fathered children with both), but the first wife divorced Hal because, as she told the judge, “He was acting like a 10-year-old.” CS

WHEN THE entire Lucas Theatre staff was fired in April, questions began to arise.

Who would snatch up those hardworking and passionate employees?

What would happen to the familyfriendly movie nights that became synonymous with the historic building’s programming?

And, among Savannah’s live music fans: what would become of Onstage Cabaret?

Established in 2013, the Onstage Cabaret series showcased the unique talents and personalities of Savannah’s finest musicians in an intimate, cabaret-inspired environment.

Singers like Trae Gurley would belt mere feet from the crowd; the warmth of Jared Hall’s piano playing was tactile. And the shows were selling out.

Tickets were so in demand that Onstage decided to offer a presale months in advance of the program.

Fans were already snatching up passes for Summer 2017’s series when the Lucas news started circling.

“I didn’t want us to sit onstage and people sit below us in the audience.

That wasn’t at all what we were about.”

“Presales had happened at the box office, and they were refunded,” says Onstage organizer Natasha Drena. “The next day—I never get this many emails—so many message from patrons who were not sure what was happening, their ticket was refunded.”

“Everyone wanted answers,” she remembers, “and I honestly didn’t know.”

The fans had spoken: Cabaret needed to stay.

Drena and teammates David Harris and Lauren Schwan got to work with a smaller team and a big vision.

“It’s totally a lesson in understanding the jobs everyone was doing,” Drena says.

“It’s been a whirlwind to get it back up and running with no notice. When you start something as a group, as a collective, it’s kind of like, ‘Who does this belong to?’

We just had to answer some questions for ourselves. It’s a lot of work.”

At the former venue, audience members entered through the back door of the theatre, giving it an exclusive feel, and the show took place onstage with the performers’ backs to the theatre seating.

It was a picturesque, cozy affair, one that felt distinctly Savannah in its blend of old and new, elegant and laidback.

As Drena began looking for a new venue, she knew “it had to be special.”

“I didn’t want us to sit onstage and people sit below us in the audience,” she says.

“That wasn’t at all what we were about.

If a venue couldn’t be found this summer where we could create something different and unexpected—I kept referring to MTV Unplugged—then I didn’t want to do it. That’s not what we had created or what people had liked about us.”

Throughout the hardships—Cabaret organizers were scrambling, looking for

The series kicks off with “RESPECT: An Evening of Southern Soul.” As the name promises, the audience will get to hear favorite songs from the 1950s and ‘60s from the catalogs of Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and more.

The cast includes vocalists Laiken Williams and Cecilia Tran Arango, pianist Eric Jones, bassist Darius Shephers Sr., and drummer Robert Britton Saunders.

Plus, as the Cabaret hints, stage favorite Trae Gurley may stop by for a few numbers.

There are four more opportunities to catch a show this summer. On July 13, check out “Get Happy: A Tribute to Babs & Judy,” “Mercer: Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home” on July 20, “Havana Nights Savannah” on July 27, and “Go Your Own Way: A Tribute To Fleetwood Mac” on August 3.

With a new stage and a fresh outlook comes a new name: Key Change Cabaret.

“The key change is usually the most exciting part of the music,” Drena explains.

“It’s where everything kind of kicks into gear. And I think after four years, going into the fifth year feels like our key change.” CS

new jobs, considering moves out of Savannah—the community and Cabaret fans rose to the occasion.

“Savannah is amazing,” Drena marvels.

“It just seemed like every other day, people were like, ‘What about here? So-and-so opened this place, let’s look.’”

The Cabaret’s new home, Ben Tucker Memorial Pavilion at The Club at Savannah Harbor, is vastly different than The Lucas.

The greenhouse-style glass building offers a view of the golf course that bassist Tucker enjoyed, and the sunset vista is to die for—but it’s the perfect place for Cabaret stars to raise their voices.

“It seemed like kismet,” says Drena.

“The Westin has always been great about sending us patrons and telling their guests about us while they’re in town. And it’s strange, but Ben passed away the same month we started the Cabaret. I didn’t know [the Pavilion’s] name, and I got there: Ben Tucker Memorial Pavilion. ‘Oh, hello, old friend. Thanks. We needed a space.’”

Once the new venue was confirmed, the Cabaret team revisited their lineup; there was a full schedule in place from The Lucas, but with the cancellation, some restructuring had to occur.

“Some shows gracefully exited the program, and some got renamed,” Drena explains. “We wanted to have a story.

We had a soul show—it’s now called ‘RESPECT.’ The Fleetwood Mac show didn’t have a title—it’s ‘Go Your Own Way.’ Johnny Mercer’s, ‘Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home.’ You can tell our story through the titles.”

GABBA GABBA BLOOD AND GUTS

Punk legends the Dwarves hit The Jinx with Richie Ramone

BY ANNA CHANDLER

anna@connectsavannah.com

EVERYTHING legendary that the punk band Dwarves embodies can be summarized in the name of their definitive record: Blood, Guts, & Pussy.

Founded in the early ‘80s, the Chicagoborn and California-bred band has been shocking, scandalizing, and stimulating their audiences for over 30 years. In the early days, the infamous live show (clocking in around 15-20 minutes) left the band and audience members covered in bloodstains (and not GWAR’s theatrical stuff), gashes and bruises, blurring the line between the stage and the pit. Shows were often cut short due to audience injuries; guitarist HeWhoCannotBeNamed frequently broke free of his signature jock strap, and bass player Salt Peter favored wearing women’s lingerie onstage.

Bands priding themselves on “stage antics” are at the Dwarves’ mercy: aside from the king of filth himself, GG Allin, little compares to the earth-scorching experience of a Dwarves’ show. Savannah gets its own taste this weekend with the “Gabba Gabba Blood and Guts” tour.

At its core, the Dwarves is vocalist Blag Dahlia and guitarist HeWhoCannotBeNamed. They’ve had numerous bandmates over the years, but Dahlia has a loose idea about “who” is a member—though some players may have left the touring lineup, many still assist in the Dwarves’ songwriting process.

In the early stages, playing at places like Chicago’s Cubby Bear Lounge, Dwarves were writing ‘60s garage-inspired songs and covering psychedelic trailblazers like 13th Floor Elevators and The Chocolate Watchband. Those songs can be heard on Lick It (the psychedelic years 83-86).

Even in its young form, the Dwarves were notorious for their performances and getting thrown out of venues for fighting.

When they released Toolin’ For A Warm Teabag in 1988, punk influences started to break through their garage roots.

The Dwarves are nothing without their mythology. There’s the time bassist XXXXX, on a bender, (allegedly) completely vanished in Detroit during a 1992 tour, or most famously, the time HeWhoCannotBeNamed died and rose again.

The latter was a decidedly elaborate affair. The band was signed to Sub Pop Records, the historic label that released Blood Guts & Pussy in 1990. They were poised to release a new album, Sugarfix, through the label.

In a press release, issued by Sub Pop, the band announced the untimely death of HeWhoCannotBeNamed, claiming he had been stabbed in Philadelphia. Sugarfix was dedicated in his memory. It didn’t take long for Sub Pop to learn that the deceased was, in fact, alive and well and cackling right along with the joke. The label was none too pleased, and the band was dropped from the star-studded roster.

The Dwarves took a break after that, reforming in 1997 with the album The Dwarves Are Young and Good Looking. The

Left: Dwarves. PHOTO BY ESTER SEGARRA Above: Richie Ramone.

Dwarves Come Clean, The Dwarves Must Die, The Dwarves Are Born Again, and The Dwarves Invented Rock & Roll followed over the next 14 years.

Most recently, the band released a live album, Radio Free Dwarves. Recorded live in one take for Estonian radio in 2012, the LP includes definitive Dwarves tracks, rarities, and alternative version of classic cuts.

Richie Ramone joins the “Gabba Gabba Blood and Guts” tour as support. The Ramones drummer from 1983 to 1987, Ramone contributed to the records Too Tough to Die, Animal Boy, Halfway to Sanity, and Smash You: Live ’85. He left the band in 1987 after a dispute with Johnny Ramone over T-shirt sale profits (could any quarrel better predict their over-merchandised future?). He was replaced by Blondie’s Clem Burke, er, Elvis Ramone, who stuck with the band for two gigs before Marky Ramone rejoined.

Ramone released his first solo album in 2013, Entitled, which showcased his childhood arena rock influences and an affinity for punk and metal. His latest album, Cellophane, came out in 2016.

Tickets are selling fast for the “Gabba Gabba Blood & Guts” Jinx stop, and with good reason. It’s difficult to imagine that a band as wildly irreverent and divisive as Dwarves can still exist in 2017, but Dahlia claims the band will continue to celebrate sex, nudity, humor, and profanity as long as they can.

One-man tin pan Americana band Breadfoot teams up with The Train Wrecks’ Jason Bible for a Starland show this weekend.

Influenced by a diverse array of artists, including X, Tom Waits, The Carter Family, and The Sherman Brothers, Breadfoot picks his guitar dirty and finds fluid melodies to steer his narratives.

The singer-songwriter’s latest album, Salvatella, demonstrated Breadfoot’s abilities to push the Americana envelope and tell meaningful, raw stories. He’s shared the stage with the likes of The Avett Brothers, Regina Spektor, Langhorne Slim, The Decemberists, and more.

Bible plays a solo set hot off the release of The Train Wrecks’ new LP Once Again.

Danette Sperry’s

gentle

soul

‘Harmony’ at Roots Up shows self-taught talent

BY RACHAEL FLORA

rachael@connectsavannah.com

JULY 5-11, 2017

EVERYTHING about Danette Sperry, from her artwork to her personality, is refreshingly simple. A self-taught artist, she paints things that she likes.

“I get inspiration from stuff that keeps coming up in my head,” she explains.

“Sometimes you get an idea in your head and you want to go with it.”

Sperry and her husband John live in Maysville, Georgia, a small town about an hour outside of Atlanta. The country life helps keep the two stay true to their simplistic lifestyle—Sperry jokes that all she does is create art.

“We have a 1917 farm house we live in,” Sperry says. “Our studio is out back; it’s fifty steps to work. The only traffic is the birds.”

Sperry’s approach to art, as with life, is gentle, making the title of her solo show, “Harmony: The Gentle Soul of Danette Sperry,” incredibly fitting. Her relief paintings range in subject from dogs to birds to the blues musician Muddy Waters and follow the typical folk art style, fitting right in at Roots Up Gallery.

Sperry’s relief technique is more complicated than traditional relief, as she combines layers of paint with hand-etched detail done with a small knife.

The detail in Sperry’s pieces is, at times, unbelievable. In “Dog Walkers,” for instance, the dogs are fully marked up with tick marks, wavy lines, and swirls all over their bodies.

It’s impossible to overstate how much physical work this is, since some dogs need 26 more than one layer of etching, but Sperry

Sperry’s paintings range from dogs to birds to the blues musician Muddy Waters.

wanted each dog to look unique.

“When you first do this, it’s really thick,” Sperry explains, gesturing to another one of her paintings, “Poppies.”

“All your mediums and stuff you use and paint thickeners, and then when it dries it just comes down.”

Sperry started her style of relief paintings as a way to blend her love of sculpture and painting.

“I like the 3D sculpture, but you’re limited on what you can create,” she says.

“When you’re painting, a painting is just a painting. They’re beautiful and all, but I

love texture, and that’s how I evolved to where I am.”

As many folk artists do, Sperry uses symbols to convey themes in her work. The painting “Madonna” includes character symbols for faith and hope.

Her husband John is also a folk artist— on a visit to see his work, Roots Up owner Leslie Lovell discovered Danette’s pieces and decided to bring them to Savannah.

Back in Maysville, Sperry also runs a woodworking shop, Primitive Folks, where she creates tables out of centuries-old repurposed wood. She uses the same wood for her frames, attached to the outside of the painting.

“Since it’s primitive art, I wanted something simple to go with it,” Sperry says. “I didn’t want something too fancy because I didn’t want the frame to be the art, I wanted the art to be the art.”

Sperry’s intricate works need to be seen in person to be believed. “Harmony” hangs at Roots Up until July 18. CS

Southern charms Atelier Galerie celebrates 20 years

BY JESSICA LEIGH LEBOS

jll@connectsavannah.com

Jewelry designer Phyllis Lang is best known for her work inspired by Savannah’s wrought iron gates and balconies.

pieces called Atelier 150 is crafted on site

by Lang and her apprentice Sherry Haas, using a unique patina she developed.

In order to keep the inventory stocked, Lang doesn’t accept commissions for custom work, no exceptions. Several years ago she had to gently rebuff a particularly persistent customer, who called several times hoping for a special design.

Lang later found out the caller was superstar Sandra Bullock, but she has no regrets.

“I couldn’t have done it anyway,” she says.

“I have to stick to my model to make it work.”

(She also has a celebrity fan in Adam Sandler.)

Complementing the edgy original works are on-trend styles like lariat necklaces and spin rings. Most items are “gift priced” and average in the $65 range, and the “Bird Girl” charms and ornaments fly out the door.

But it hasn’t all been breezy sunshine.

The 2009 recession was a challenge, and Lang often put in 16-hour days, designing and making jewelry long after the shop’s doors were closed.

“I was driving all night to sell at a show just to make a few hundred dollars, but it got me through,” she remembers.

These days, the store bustles with tourists and loyal locals, and Lang hopes to stick around this historic corner for at least another couple of decades.

“I don’t plan on going anywhere. There’s still too much I want to make,” she laughs.

“My to-do list from three years ago still has things on it.” CS

ATELIER GALERIE 20TH ANNIVERSARY

When: 5-8:30pm, Fri., July 7 Where: 150 Abercorn St. Info: 912-233-3140 or www.agsavannah.com

JULY 5-11, 2017

THE SUMMER sky is pouring down rain, but jewelry designer Phyllis Lang doesn’t seem to mind.

The proprietor of Atelier Galerie has ridden out plenty of storms since she first opened her tiny studio shop on the corner of Abercorn and Oglethorpe in 1997 and knows the old adage well: “If you don’t like the weather in Savannah, wait 15 minutes.”

Sure enough, the sun begins to peek out from the clouds as Lang describes her journey from a hobbyist looking to swap out her corporate day job to a small business owner with an original jewelry line coveted by visitors and locals alike.

“I came to Savannah in 1996 to get a Masters in Fibers from SCAD, thinking I would get a job in textile design,” she recalls.

“Jewelry had been a hobby for years, but I didn’t know anything about marketing or selling it, other than at a few shows.”

The city’s charms worked their wiles on her, however, and when she discovered that the adorable 300 sq.-foot space across from Colonial Park Cemetery formerly occupied by an insurance agent was up for rent, she took the risk, setting up her blowtorch and tools behind the display cases.

Foot traffic and word of mouth brought a steady stream of clients eager to purchase Atelier Galerie’s collectible earrings, necklaces and bangles, and the shop is celebrating 20 years in business with a reception on Saturday July 7.

“We are just so happy to be here, every single day,” says Lang.

“Twenty years has just flown by.”

Savannah continues to serve as an inspiration for her work, and Lang is best known for her layered silver and bronze pieces inspired by the city’s exquisite wrought iron gates and balconies.

“The architecture here is part of what makes this place special, and the wrought iron is the jewelry of these beautiful buildings,” she muses.

Dragonflies of all sizes are also a recurring theme, adorned with turquoise beads or a coppery patina.

“In real life, they tend to follow me around,” she grins.

“They’re pretty magical.”

Atelier Galerie also carries selections from 35 other jewelers and artisans from around the globe, including local Margie Sona’s icy blue larimar pieces and embellished oil paintings by Michele Snell. A separate line of bronze nature-inspired

Auspicious Baking Company: Baked goods handcrafted from scratch

BY MARIA WHITEWAY

acommonconnoisseur.com

A variety of breads, including this Mediterranean Focaccia Loaf, make Sunday’s lineup.

Naturally leavened Yuengling Lager and Cheddar bread is a labor of love, taking 24 hours from start to finish.

“It takes time. People lose sight of the tender love and care that goes into baking.

We make it the way grandma did, and that is what sets us apart”.

As a self-taught baker, Bryant recalls the serendipity of her high school years, where serving as a line cook under the wing of a pastry chef turned into a newfound passion.

Bryant became a bread aficionado, metamorphosing a base recipe into unique flavor combinations.

“It was my first experimentation with food. It was exciting and I was allowed to be creative,” she says.

Ekstrom similarly worked in the restaurant industry during high school, learning everything from kitchen preparation to front of the house. The lovebirds met in Pennsylvania and began their relationship directly after high school. Seeking to escape the treacherous winters, they hightailed it to the South.

Owners Kaytlin Bryant (left) and fiancé Mark Ekstrom handcraft hundreds of baked goods each week.

Even though their original destination was Florida, Savannah won their hearts.

Bryant was given liberty as an employee at Rum Runners Bakery, but desired a bakery of her own.

When the space on Skidaway became available, Bryant and Ekstrom saw it as a sign.

“It felt like destiny.”

JULY 5-11, 2017

IT’S SUNDAY at 8 a.m. Most people are preparing for church or in bed, hung over.

Me? I was racing to Skidaway Road.

“Catch us at the bake house early as last week we SOLD OUT,” Kaytlin Bryant warned.

I pulled into a parking lot crammed with cars at 8:15 a.m. Parents with babies, socialites, chefs, beach ready kids, men in their Sunday best —you get the point—a gamut of people were all pouring out of their vehicles into the Auspicious Baking Company.

Inside, the quaint space was bursting with the bustle of eager patrons. After hugs and “welcome back,” the reoccurring theme was that everyone set their alarms early to beat the rush.

As I shot pictures of patrons ordering “one of everything” from the bake case, I was struck with an anxious sense of urgency. If I didn’t place my order soon, everything may be sold out right before my eyes!

I followed suit and wondered, “What makes Auspicious Baking Company such a hot commodity?”

Branded as being conducive to success, the duly named Auspicious Baking Company has already found favor with Savannahians since opening day on June 18.

Owned and operated by Bryant and fiancé Mark Ekstrom, the twosome rustically crafts everything from breads and pastries to cookies and cakes from scratch, the good old-fashioned way.

Bryant passionately explains their baking methodology: “A lot of baked good products from grocery stores are commercially processed.

We are handcrafted from scratch. We do it with the sweat off our backs and with our muscles,” she says.

However, opening Auspicious Baking Company could not be fully attributed to luck or chance, but genuine benevolence.

A few months prior to opening, the couple reached out to the community for financial support. Savannah’s response left a humbling impression on the duo.

“It became real obvious to us that we were starting a community-supported bakery. One hand washes the other, and both wash the face.”

Auspicious Baking Company’s snug space is lavished with antique furniture, continuing the old-world motif that embodies Bryant’s baking technique.

While Ekstrom handcrafted elements of the shop, other pieces such as the bake case were donated.

Serving as the only two bakers, the optimistically exhausted couple spends countless hours each week prepping to open every Sunday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m.

Bryant says, “No one realizes the time it takes to make 175 pastries and about 50 loaves of bread by hand.

As an example, their naturally leavened bread takes 24 hours from start to finish.

Bryant and Ekstrom have to be on the clock to feed the starter, mix it, and let it rest.

“The loaf of bread becomes your baby.

There is a lot of pride that goes into it, to the point where you are happy to see it going to a good home when you sell it.”

Each week the bakers auspiciously fashion a myriad of baked goods including artisan levain crackers, turnovers, croissants, pop-tarts, brownies, cinnamon rolls and of course, bread!

Focaccia, pan loaf, challah and naturally leavened selections like Yuengling lager with cheddar and honey-fig can be found on Sunday’s lineup.

“We tweak recipes from things that we enjoy ourselves. It’s nostalgia.”

Banding with other local small businesses, the Auspicious Baking Company’s goodies will be available at the Tybee Island and Richmond Hill Farmer’s Markets.

“We are trying to keep it local and source local. It’s important to have a connection with our community,” Bryant says.

On the drive home Sunday morning, I reached into a paper bag and tore off spongy pieces of Mediterranean Focaccia loaf. The sweet roasted tomato juices and olive oil oozed all over my fingers.

I indulged with a sense of pride, that feeling you get when you are among the first in line to buy that coveted item.

My advice? Get to Auspicious Baking Company at 8 a.m. next Sunday and don’t be late! CS Auspicious Baking Co. is at 5224 Skidaway Rd.

BABY DRIVER

OOO Guaranteed to reign as the hipster fave of 2017, Baby Driver comes tearing off the starting line and leads the summer-movie field for the duration of the ride. Only when it hits the final stretch does it become clear that a little more maintenance while still in the shop might have subsequently allowed it to enjoy a few more victory laps.

Nevertheless, this style-over-substance endeavor does itself proud as one of the few worthwhile achievements in what’s turning out to be a rather desultory cinematic season thus far. Writer-director Edgar Wright deserves the lion’s share of the kudos, not only for assembling a noteperfect cast but also for providing them with dialogue that’s often a pleasure to encounter.

Landing many of the best lines is Kevin Spacey, cast as a verbose crime boss who masterminds a series of bank heists. Spacey’s Doc likes to use different players for different jobs, but he always keeps one constant on the team: Baby (Ansel Elgort), a taciturn getaway driver who choreographs all of his moves (both in and out of the car) to the tunes emanating from his iPod. (In this manner, Baby is not unlike Guardians of the Galaxy’s Peter Quill, who similarly shimmies to the beat of his Walkman.)

Baby is so quiet and reserved that his demeanor endears him to some of his accomplices while enraging the rest. For their part, lovebirds Buddy (Jon Hamm) and Darling (Eiza Gonzalez) like the kid; conversely, Griff (Jon Bernthal) and Bats (Jamie Foxx) do not. As for Baby, the only person who interests him is Debora (Lily James), the new waitress down at his favorite diner.

Between the character dynamics, the vehicular stuntwork (much of it <I>not<P> CGI), and the carefully chosen soundtrack, Baby Driver clicks on all cylinders — at least until it hits the homestretch. Suddenly, a storyline that had admirably been kept edgy and unexpected turns careful and conventional, with unlikely character pirouettes and an overextended climax — one, I might add, featuring a villain seemingly as indestructible as Terminator 2’s T-1000 — emerging as the primary, predictable culprits. That’s a shame. Certainly, Baby Driver establishes its own irresistible rhythm — one which deserves a sizable audience — but when it perhaps matters most, it turns out that the song remains the same.

THE BEGUILED

OO Based on Thomas Cullinan’s novel, Don Siegel’s 1971 drama The Beguiled cast Clint Eastwood as John McBurney, a wounded Union soldier who gets nursed back to health at a remote all-girls school in the South during the Civil War. All of

Baby Driver: this style-over-substance endeavor does itself proud as one of the few worthwhile achievements in what’s turning out to be a rather desultory cinematic season thus far

the women, from the middle-aged head of the institute (Geraldine Page) down to the precocious preteen (Pamelyn Ferdin), are drawn to the male in their midst, leading to jealousy, mistrust and violence.

Between the poor marketing by Universal Pictures and an atypical role for Eastwood, The Beguiled was a box office flop, yet its status as a complicated and intriguing work remains undisturbed. Writerdirector Sofia Coppola has now chosen to offer her own interpretation with a new picture, also titled The Beguiled. But what’s baffling is her decision to strip the piece of all nuance and all complexity.

Colin Farrell is fine as McBurney, but whereas the ’71 model fascinatingly presented the character as fundamentally rotten but blessed with the ability to compliment, cajole and con at will, this version offers basically a nice guy who eventually snaps and turns into a raging psychopath.

As Martha (Page’s old role), Nicole Kidman also delivers a strong performance, but her character is less layered than before – all touches of madness have been removed, leaving only a character whose actions don’t always make sense within the context of what’s presented.

Two of the women who become involved with McBurney remain front and center, but both Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning are miscast in these roles. Missing completely — to the project’s great shame — is the character of the slave (Mattie in the book, Hallie in the previous movie) who works for Miss Martha — unlike all the school teachers and schoolgirls draping themselves over him, she alone sees McBurney in his true light.

For reasons too spoilerish to blurt out, Hallie (superbly played by Mae Mercer in ’71) is integral to key revelations revealed late in that film. For her part, Coppola simply drops the character altogether, marking this as a particularly unpleasant example of whitewashing.

Then again, such an excision isn’t exactly shocking. Since her out-and-out masterpiece, 2003’s Lost in Translation, Coppola has only written and directed middling movies about the inconveniences faced by privileged white women. The old axiom states that one should “write what you know,” but in Coppola’s case, that’s proving to be unfortunate career advice.

DESPICABLE ME 3

O A constantly ka-chinging cash register disguised as a major motion picture, the utterly banal and utterly boring Despicable Me 3 is largely the animated equivalent of the current Transformers: The Last Knight. While it may not be as stridently idiotic as the Michael Bay dud, it’s similar in that it also merely goes through the motions expected from an established and profitable franchise. It’s full of rote sound and fury, but while it’s tempting to say it signifies nothing, that wouldn’t exactly be correct.

It signifies the continued standing of Hollywood as the ultimate babysitter, providing harried parents an opportunity to dump off their little darlings somewhere, anywhere. If Minions are involved, so much the better.

SCREENSHOTS

unique in the 2010 original was that he was a villain, only softening toward the end of the film. That sharp edge was filed down in 2013’s Despicable Me 2, since he was now a full-fledged good guy. In this latest outing, he’s only grown more uninteresting as a character, so the filmmakers compensate by introducing a twin brother named Dru (also Carell). Unfortunately, he’s even more bland than his sibling.

The sop to adults who are unfortunate enough to accompany their kids to see this comes courtesy of the villain. Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker), a former child star in the 1980s, is now a mullet-topped super-villain, committing his crimes while backed by Top 40 hits from the era (Michael Jackson, Dire Straits, a-ha, etc.).

It’s calculated rather than clever, and it’s just one more sign of the crushing laziness that this picture proudly if perversely displays at every conceivable turn.

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT

JULY 5-11, 2017

O As a filmmaker, Michael Bay has never seemed particularly interested in coherency or linear thinking or anything else that carries an idea from Point A to Point B. With that in mind, here’s my own stream-of-consciousness look at Bay’s latest bray, Transformers: The Last Knight.

At 7 hours 15 minutes, the fifth film in the robotic series surpasses the 4-hour8-minute Gettysburg as the longest theatrical feature ever made. Keep in mind that I did not have a watch or cell phone on me during the screening, so my estimate of the running time might be slightly off, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5 hours.

But it certainly felt that long.

If nothing else, T5 is the first movie in the franchise that could be described as educational. For starters, it’s ascertained that not only did King Arthur and Camelot exist, but Arthur and his Round Table companions all had Transformer knights watching their backs. (The recent King Arthur: Legend of the Sword failed to mention this, which is probably why it bombed.) In addition, the Transformers were responsible for the tide turning in favor of the Allies during World War II; they were responsible for the mystery surrounding Stonehenge; and they were responsible for the 2016 presidential election being hacked (or was that the Russians? I forget).

Mark Wahlberg returns for his second appearance as Cade Yeager, the Transformers’ BFF. Here, Cade’s the one who best embodies the spirit of King Arthur and thus is chosen to save all of humanity. Back in 2012, Wahlberg stated that 9/11 wouldn’t have happened had he been on one of the hijacked airplanes. “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t 32 have went down like it did,” he told Men’s

Journal. “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’” While most Americans were offended by Wahlberg’s imbecilic statement, Bay apparently gurgled and cooed over such a shining display of machismo – hence, we now have Dirk Diggler as The Chosen One. The latest distinguished actor to opt to slum in this series for the sake of a gargantuan payday is Anthony Hopkins. Unlike, say, past players Frances McDormand and John Malkovich, he does not seem embarrassed by his appearance. Then again, Hopkins already has a long tradition of swooping down on paychecks like a hawk targeting a bunny rabbit – see, for instance, Alexander, Bad Company and that daft werewolf movie with Benicio Del Toro.

One scene features a pair of bickering Transformers voiced by John Goodman and Steve Buscemi. With John Turturro also appearing in the film, it’s safe to say this is the reunion movie that The Big Lebowski devotees were eagerly awaiting. Fans of Walter and Donny, be sure to thank Michael Bay in your prayers tonight.

ROUGH NIGHT

OO Never a Bridesmaids but always a Bridesmaids wannabe, Rough Night stars Scarlett Johansson as Jess, whose political campaign gets put on hold for one weekend as she heads to Miami for her bachelorette party. Set to marry sweet Peter (Paul W. Downs, who also co-wrote the script with director Lucia Aniello), she’s joined on her outing by her best friends from her college days: needy Alice (Jillian Bell), sophisticated Blair (Zoe Kravitz), outspoken Frankie (Ilana Glazer), and, from her studies abroad, eccentric Aussie Pippa (Kate McKinnon).

After much consumption of alcohol and cocaine at a nightclub, it’s determined that a male stripper should be summoned to the house for Jess’s pleasure. But in her state of perpetual horniness, Alice ends up killing the dude, and the five ladies spend the rest of the picture determining how best to cover up the crime.

Rough Night never gets as ugly as 1998’s comparable Very Bad Things, but even acknowledging (semi-spoiler, I guess, though it’s pretty easy to guess where the movie is heading) that it will eventually be revealed that this man deserved his gruesome fate, the filmmakers never find the proper degree at which to pitch their black comedy, making the scenario more lurid than intriguing.

Moving beyond the killing, the remainder of the picture just isn’t very funny, with the great McKinnon largely wasted and Bell receiving far too much screen time while playing a truly odious character.

CARS 3

OO The previous pictures are perhaps Pixar’s most underrated offerings — 2006’s Cars offered a lovely look at Route 66 mythology while 2011’s Cars 2 was an engaging espionage caper — but I daresay this one will probably be rated about right. Resolutely sweet-natured and marked by some compelling visuals, it’s still the weakest of the trio, with Lightning McQueen (again voiced by Owen Wilson) and other old-school race cars finding themselves becoming obsolete with the emergence of newer and sleeker models.

Chief among the upstarts is Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer), who usurps Lightning’s position as the sport’s reigning champion. Combatting both injury and depression, Lightning falls into a funk during the off-season, requiring his friends (including Bonnie Hunt’s Sally and Larry the Cable Guy’s Mater) to talk him off the mental and emotional cliff. With his optimism and enthusiasm restored, he undergoes a vigorous training regime, aided by his new coach Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo).

Narratively, Cars 3 spends too much of the early going in idle, repeating familiar beats about how it sucks to get old (a sop to aging adults in the audience?) while fetishizing shiny new cars and accessories that will look great on Target shelves.

Still, the movie is always agreeable if rarely exciting, and it does kick into high gear for the final stretch, which offers a pleasing plot pirouette that’s right in line with the usual Pixar philosophies of solidarity and self-worth. If this turns out to be the final Cars film – only the studio bean counters know for sure – there are worse ways for the franchise to ride off into the celluloid sunset.

THE MUMMY

O A plastic product made by mercenaries, pimps and profiteers rather than filmmakers who give a damn, The Mummy is the first official entry in what Universal is billing as Dark Universe, the studio’s attempt to duplicate the interconnected worlds showcased in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe.

Of course, this isn’t the first time this century that the conglomerate has tried to milk profits from the exhausted udders of its classic horror line from the 1930s and 1940s: Previously, audiences had to suffer through 2004’s Van Helsing, 2010’s The Wolfman and 2014’s Dracula Untold.

The last-named was supposed to be the opening film in this new world order, but it bombed so badly that the studio drove a stake through its publicity and opted to try again. With The Mummy, there’s no turning back — the film opens with the newly minted Dark Universe logo, and future

films starring the likes of Johnny Depp (The Invisible Man) and Javier Bardem (the Frankenstein monster) have already been announced.

But given the desultory picture on view here, here’s a tentpole project that has its work cut out for it. Thankfully, the only way is up.

The titular monster in this case is Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella), an Egyptian evildoer whose pact with the god Set leads to her being buried alive. Cut to the present day, where her tomb is discovered by wacky adventurers Nick Morton (Tom Cruise) and Chris Vail (Jake Johnson) and furrowed-brow archaeologist Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis).

While transporting the coffin to London, where Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe) is eager to examine its contents, our heroes allow Ahmanet to awaken and escape, whereupon she plays suck-face with hapless extras and drains them of their life force (speaking of which, at this point the movie briefly turns into Tobe Hooper’s ‘80s cult oddity Lifeforce, best remembered as that film starring Patrick Stewart and a beautiful space vampire who wanders around London butt-nekkid).

It’s up to Nick to save the day, although he’s clearly overworked: He’s been picked

by Ahmanet to serve as her Chosen One, and he’s forced to play Hyde-and-seek with an increasingly irate Jekyll.

Universal already mined the Mummy terrain with 1999’s The Mummy, the hugely successful Brendan Fraser flick that resulted in several sequels of diminishing returns. That daft film swiped more pages from Indiana Jones than Boris Karloff, but at least it was reasonably entertaining.

The same can’t be said of this new version, which is so scattershot that it never retains any forward momentum from one scene to the next. The comic relief, with a plot device lifted directly from An American Werewolf in London, is downright painful, and since the shuffling zombies look like they were imported from the music video for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” it’s clear that here’s a monster movie that will be providing nothing in the way of thrills or chills. The CGI technicians are, as expected, kept busy, but the effects remain impersonal.

Through movies both good and bad, Cruise has always made his presence and star power known, but that’s shockingly not the case here. For the first time, the actor is entirely colorless and disposable – aside from a paycheck so loaded with zeroes that it was probably heavy to lift, there’s no reason for him to be here.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Unless you were raised by a pack of feral raccoons or a fundamentalist cult, now is a perfect time to dive in to your second childhood. Is there a toy you wanted as a kid but never got? Buy it for yourself now!

What were the delicious foods you craved back then? Eat them! Where were the special places you loved? Go there, or to spots that remind you of them. Who were the people you were excited to be with?

Talk with them. Actions like these will get you geared up for a full-scale immersion in innocent eagerness. And that would be just the right medicine for your soul.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

What I wish for you, Taurus, is toasted ice cream and secrets in plain sight and a sacred twist of humorous purity. I would love for you to experience a powerful surrender and a calm climax and a sweeping vision of a small but pithy clue. I very much hope that you will get to take a big trip to an intimate turning point that’s not too far away. I pray you will find or create a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart.

JULY 5-11, 2017

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

44

In Dr. Seuss’s book, *Horton Hatches an Egg,* an elephant assumes the duty of sitting on a bird’s egg, committed to keeping it warm until hatching time. The nest is located high in a tree, which makes the undertaking even more incongruous.

By the climax of the tale, Horton has had to persist in his loyal service through a number of challenges. But all ends well, and there’s an added bonus: The creature that’s born is miraculously part-bird, part-elephant. I see similarities between this story and your life right now, Gemini.

The duty you’re carrying out doesn’t come naturally, and you’re not even sure you’re doing it right. But if you keep at it till it’s completed, you’ll earn a surprising reward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

It’s prime time for you to break through any inhibitions you might have about accessing and expressing your passion.

To help you in this righteous cause, I’ve assembled a batch of words you should be ready to use with frequency and sweet abandon. Consider writing at least part of this list on your forearm with a felt-tip pen every morning so it’s always close at hand: enamored, piqued, enchanted, stirred, roused, enthused, delighted, animated, elevated, thrilled, captivated, turned-on, enthralled, exuberant, fired up, awakened.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Matt Groening, creator of the cartoon series *The Simpsons,* says that a great turning point in his early years came when his Scoutmaster told him he was the worst Boy Scout in history. While this might have demoralized other teenagers, it energized Groening. “Well, somebody’s got to be the worst,” he triumphantly told the Scoutmaster. And then, “instead of the earth opening up and swallowing me, instead of the flames of hell fire licking at my knees -- nothing happened. And I was free.” I suspect you may soon be blessed with a comparable liberation, Leo. Maybe you’ll be released from having to live up to an expectation you shouldn’t even live up to. Or maybe you’ll be criticized in a way that will motivate your drive for excellence for years to come.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Nineteen of my readers who work in the advertising industry signed a petition requesting that I stop badmouthing their field. “Without advertising,” they testified, “life itself would be impossible.”

In response, I agreed to attend their re-education seminar. There, under their tutelage, I came to acknowledge that everything we do can be construed as a kind of advertising. Each of us is engaged in a mostly unconscious campaign to promote our unique way of looking at and being in the world. Realizing the truth, I now feel no reservations about urging you Virgos to take advantage of the current astrological omens. They suggest that you can and should be aggressive and ingenious about marketing yourself, your ideas, and your products.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

In 2003, the American Film Institute announced the creation of a new prize to honor acting talent. Dubbed the Charlton Heston Award, it was designed to be handed out periodically to luminaries who have distinguished themselves over the course of long careers. The first recipient of the award was, oddly enough, Charlton Heston himself, born under the sign of Libra. I hope you’re inspired by this story to wipe away any false modesty you might be suffering from. The astrological omens suggest it’s a favorable moment to create a big new award named after you and bestow it upon yourself. As part of the festivities, tell yourself about what makes you special, amazing, and valuable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Are you familiar with the psychological concepts of anima and animus? You’re in the midst of being intoxicated by one of those creatures from inner space. Though you may not be fully conscious of it, you women are experiencing a mystical marriage with an imaginal character that personifies all that’s masculine in your psyche. You men are going through the analogous process with a female figure within you. I believe this is true no matter what your sexual orientation is. While this awesome psychological event may be fun, educational, and even ecstatic, it could also be confusing to your relationships with real people. Don’t expect them to act like or live up to the very real fantasy you’re communing with.

Here’s your riddle: What unscratchable itch drives you half-crazy? But you’re secretly glad it drives you half-crazy, because you know your half-craziness will eventually lead you to an experience or resource that will relieve the itch. Here’s your prophecy: Sometime soon, scratching the unscratchable itch will lead you to the experience or resource that will finally relieve the itch. Here’s your homework: Prepare yourself emotionally to fully receive and welcome the new experience or resource. Make sure you’re not so addicted to scratching the unscratchable itch that you fail to take advantage of the healing it’s bringing you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The best way to go forward is to go backward; the path to the bright future requires a shadowy regression. Put another way, you should return to the roots of a triumph in order to find a hidden flaw that might eventually threaten to undo your success. Correct that flaw now and you’ll make it unnecessary for karmic repercussions to undermine you later. But please don’t get all solemn-faced and anxious about this assignment. Approach it with humorous self-correction and you’ll ensure that all goes well.

As a recovering save-the-world addict, I have felt compassionate skepticism towards my fellow junkies who are still in the throes of their obsession. But recently I’ve discovered that just as a small minority of alcoholics can safely take a drink now and then, so can a few save-the-worldaholics actually save the world a little bit at a time without getting strung-out. With that as a disclaimer, Aquarius, I’m letting you know that the cosmos has authorized you to pursue your own brand of fanatical idealism in the coming weeks. To keep yourself honest, make fun of your zealotry every now and then.

The potential breakthrough I foresee for you is a rare species of joy. It’s a gritty, hard-earned pleasure that will spawn beautiful questions you’ll be glad to have awakened. It’s a surprising departure from your usual approach to feeling good that will expand your understanding of what happiness means. Here’s one way to ensure that it will visit you in all of its glory: Situate yourself between the fabulous contradictions in your life and say, “Squeeze me, tease me, please me.”
