❱ Word of the week stonewall \ STOHN-wawl\, verb; 1. To block, stall, or resist intentionally. 2. In cricket, to play a defensive game, as by persistently blocking the ball instead of batting it for distance and runs. 3. To filibuster. Quotes: Shelley was standing right in front of me so I had to stonewall it by saying that Tarah was “delusional” just like they’d said about me at the trial. — Jim Harrison, The Woman Lit by Fireflies Origin: While “to stonewall” conjures associations with the bar in New York that played a role in the gay rights movement as well as Confederate General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson, this verb originates in the simple sense of obstruction conjured by a wall made of stone. The first recorded use of the verb form occurs in 1914.

Leave it to the Sisters to show us the way The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt; Ecco, 2011; 328 pages, $24.99.

By Steven Whitton Special to The Star

America seems anything but beautiful in Patrick DeWitt’s quirky and ultimately touching new novel The Sisters Brothers that’s already been termed “cowboy noir.” It isn’t that exactly, nor is it by any means a traditional western. What it does hilariously and very often miraculously is take the mythos of American Western literature and use it to comment on how and why we are as we are today. They are Charlie and Eli, these Sisters Brothers, and they are basically Western hit men. They work for The Commodore out of the Oregon City of 1851. Their new job involves a picaresque journey south to Sacramento to eradicate Hermann Kermit Warm, the latest person to run afoul of their hotheaded boss. Eli is the younger, fatter, more introspective—even more wistful—of the brothers. He is more the dreamer than is the power-hungry drunkard Charlie. He really likes his pitiful horse Tub, oneeyed and hobbling. He hopes for affec-

tion, even from the pitiful women he encounters on the way to California. In effect, Eli embraces the distorted promise of the Gold Rush, believing hard that money will result in an easy life and enable him to find a loyal and trustworthy woman. What he and Charlie find instead are any number of idiosyncratic characters, like a dentist who can, if nothing else, introduce them to ways of deadening pain and to the joys of tooth-brushing. There are also assorted Indians, an old witch, a redpelted bear, a miner with stories to tell, opportunism, and bloodshed. In fact, the novel is both off-handedly violent and profoundly poetic. Scenes of dismemberment (Tub’s eye, Charlie’s hand) are indeed wince-inducing. Yet these scenes are informed by Eli’s desire—his need—for something more, something he expresses in a stilted,

formal word choice that is both amusing and affecting. Eli is such a winning character that, when he determines that he’s on his final job for The Commodore, we want him to be telling us the truth. And where exactly is this haven for the Sisters Brothers? It certainly won’t be found along the ferociously brutal frontier. It is in its consideration of this question that the novel truly takes wing. Despite a milieu as horrific as the one they live and work in, the Sisters Brothers learn a simple lesson that seems to be one deWitt urges on us all. Eli takes Charlie back where they’ve come from: eastward to live, not westward to overreach. The Sisters Brothers will seem a cruel romp to some, but Patrick Dewitt has written more than that, leaving in our hands not just a warning about the American Dream but a primer on how to deal with its legacy. Steven Whitton is a professor of English at Jacksonville State University.

Against All Enemies revolves around the world of Moore, a former Navy SEAL and CIA paramilitary operations officer. The book opens with a devastating attack off the coast of Pakistan. A U.S. ship carrying a Taliban prisoner finds itself suddenly under attack in a scene that’s signature Clancy. Of course Against All Enemies doesn’t have that Cold War-era mystique that Clancy’s earlier books possess — like Le Carre, Clancy in his own way is still seeking his footing in the contemporary world of terrorism, tribal menace, provincial thugs and shadow groups. But there are still plenty of bits of what his fans have always enjoyed most — the gadgetry.

JOIN THE THRILL

‘Storyville’ combines fairy tales, summer reading and the Italian Renaissance By Brooke Carbo bcarbo@annistonstar.com

“Come with us to Storyville / We’ll have fun, I know we will” “Come along and join the thrill / Here in Storyville” Storyville, an original children’s musical written by JSU drama professor Eric Traynor, opens Tuesday at JSU’s Stone Center. Performances run through Saturday. Traynor, who also directs and performs, described the production as “a light musical romp” that throws all the familiar fairytale faces under one mixed-up, magical roof. “Storyville takes place where all the stories of the world take place,” he said. “All the fairytales are here.” The plot centers around the Ugly Duckling and those old feelings of insecurity are creeping up once again. “She’s upset she’s being made fun of again so she decides to visit the Old Witch,” Traynor explained. As visits to fairy tale witches often do, it turns out to be a bad idea. “The Witch changes everything in Storyville around and everyone is confused and lost,” he said. In the ensuing chaos, fears are faced, hearts are won, the Ugly Ducking learns an important lesson and the audience has more fun than a

And part of making the show fun is getting the kids involved. “I pull a Goldilocks from the audience, a Baby Bear,” he said. “The show ends with a kick line of audience members on stage.” Cast member Cody Hunt, a JSU sophomore majoring in drama, said the audience participation is what sets the show apart. “The energy of the kids makes the show a lot of fun,” Hunt said. “It’s really upbeat.” Traynor chose the script, written back in 2001, for his summer show after learning the theme of the public libraries’ summer reading was ‘One world, many stories.’ Please see storyville ❙ Page 5

storyville Continued from Page 4 “Storyville just fit,” he said. Traynor’s original production called for a cast of 16 but the current version has been scaled back to just three with Traynor and Hunt playing multiple roles in the comedic style of the Italian Renaissance known as Commedia dell’Arte. Commedia dell’Arte features familiar character archetypes, often signified by a mask, with actors donning multiple masks throughout a performance. Traynor said he studied the theatrical style while writing his master’s thesis at the University of North Carolina. He narrates and portrays the roles of Fudgey Pig, Papa Bear and Big Bad Wolf of Little Red Riding Hood fame, not to be confused with the Three Little Pigs’ huffing and puffing Big Bad Wolf. He has also taken up residence in Storyville, one of the eight characters played by Hunt including the Handsome Prince and the Old Witch. Judy Shealy, a threetime veteran of Traynor’s children shows, tackles the duckbilled mask of the Ugly Ducking. As Traynor described it, the inspiration to incorporate Commedia dell’Arte into a children’s musical was the style’s capacity for make believe. “I put on a mask and suddenly I’m a handsome prince, suddenly I’m a pig. And that gets across to the kids,” he explained. “They see us changing and becoming different characters. It teaches them to use their imagination and they can be anything.” Traynor last tackled the serious side of theater, directing JSU’s production of the heavy, historical drama Southbridge last month. “It’s nice to get into the dark stuff but for me, theater should be fun,” he said. “This is fun.”

After three decades of decadence By Wade Tatangelo

2 0 1 1 summer tour

Bradenton (Fla.) Herald

he bad boys of Motley Crue are making news again. But this time the headlines have nothing to do with infighting, drugs, jail, rehab or a sex tape. The hair metal heroes — traditionally reviled by pundits — are being lauded on a near daily basis since launching the U.S. leg of their 30th anniversary tour earlier this month. Publications ranging from Rolling Stone to the Hollywood Reporter to the Kansas City Star are celebrating Crue’s greatest hits show. “We usually don’t get good feedback from critics but this one is hard for even our worst critics to say that anything’s wrong,” Crue vocalist Vince Neil said during a recent phone interview. “Everybody is at the top of his game and playing amazing.” Motley Crue’s wild ride to rock stardom accelerated with the release of the 1982 single “Live Wire.” Nearly three decades of decadence later, Neil still vividly recalls the first time he heard the song playing on the radio. He was driving to his home on Redondo Beach from the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. “I just stopped the car,” Neil said. “I wanted to yell and tell someone but nobody was there.” Crue’s career enjoyed another huge boost at the US Festival over Memorial Day weekend in 1983. The event featured four days of music, with each dedicated to a separate genre: new wave, heavy metal, rock and country. More than 650,000 people reportedly attended the

SAturday Verizon Wireless Music Center, Pelham Sunday Aaron’s Amphitheater at Lakewood, Atlanta

festival held in the sizzling interior of Southern California. Crue — wearing more makeup than your average groupie — went on after Quiet Riot and before Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Triumph, Scorpions and headliner Van Halen. “We were doing songs from Shout at the Devil,” Neil said of the album that wouldn’t be released until months later. “ ‘Heavy Metal Day’ was the biggest with 360,000 people there. We went on second and people loved us. For a young band to play to that many people, that was a big day for us.” When Shout at the Devil finally dropped in September it established Motley Crue as one of the most entertainingly sleazy bands on the planet. In addition to the classic title track, the album also produced the hits “Looks

that Kill” and “Too Young to Fall in Love.” Theatre of Pain came out two years later, and for the first time Motley Crue had an album in the Top 10. The hard-living Hollywood musicians’ cover of the 1973 Brownsville Station song “Smokin’ in the Boys Room” gave them their first Top 40 single. “Home Sweet Home,” which Neil wrote with band mates Tommy Lee (piano/drums) and Nikki Sixx (bass/vocals), featured a video that became ubiquitous on MTV. “In South America, where we started this tour, Tommy started playing the opening piano part and by the time I sang ‘I’m a dreamer’ the whole place started singing along,” Neil said with a laugh of disbelief. “It was hard to sing with all them singing.” Despite consuming copious amounts of pills, powders and booze, Crue continued to sell millions of records and play packed arenas. The band’s 1987 album Girls, Girls, Girls hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Almost a quarter century later, the hit title track, an homage to exotic dancers, remains an anthem, especially in strip club-rich Tampa, Fla. It’s also Neil’s favorite song to perform. “I love doing ‘Girls, Girls, Girls,’ “ he said without hesi-

tation when asked what Crue tune he likes singing best. “The crowd loves it. That’s when all the tops come off and the girls are dancing. That never gets old.” Motley Crue finally topped the Billboard 200 in 1989 with Dr. Feelgood. The title track, “Kickstart My Heart,” “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)” and “Same Old Situation” were all hits. But the band’s popularity soon nosedived. There’s a memorable scene in the 2008 movie The Wrestler that reflects how many felt when the 1980s hair metal glory gave way to Kurt Cobain’s Nirvana and similar sounding bands that made records that were the antithesis of “Girls, Girls, Girls.” “Then that Cobain ... had to come around and ruin it all,” Mickey Rourke’s Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson says to Marisa Tomei’s Cassidy, who’s wearing a Motley Crue shirt. Then she goes, “Like there’s something wrong with just wanting to have a good time?” “I’ll tell you somethin’, I hate the (expletive) ’90s,” Ram says. Neil takes a slightly more diplomatic view than Ram. “The ’90s didn’t really suck, they were just different,” Neil said. “There’s always going to be something new that comes along but none of those bands from the ’90s are still around, and we’re selling out arenas 30 years into our career.” And how does the 50-year-old singer account for Crue’s current comeback? “We’re just really, really excited about it again,” Neil said. “It’s so much fun to be on stage, doing the show, knowing everybody is just really good.”

Gillian Welch returns with long-awaited album By Chris Talbott Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As Gillian Welch has promoted her long-awaited new album, The Harrow & The Harvest, there comes a point early in each interview when a reporter asks her why it took her eight years to deliver it. Every. Single. Time. There’s no good answer, of course. These things occasionally take a while. Welch knows this is not the satisfying, tabloid-flavored answer people are looking for — marriages, divorces, babies! — but it’s the truth. “No one wanted this record out faster than we did,” Welch said with a small laugh. “That’s just a fact. There’s no way. I don’t actually believe that anyone was more miserable than myself about the eight-year wait because it isn’t like we took a vacation. We actually were working the entire time. But the creative breakthrough really came when we kind of somehow managed to step outside the stress and the panic about it, you know? That’s just no way to work.” By “we,” she means her life (and music) partner, David Rawlings. They’ve been working as a duo under a soloist’s name for more than 15 years now. The pair wrote hundreds of songs for the new album, recorded them in rough form and eventually discarded them in “a song cemetery.” Some

CBS hit with boycott over Grammy f lap NEW YORK — A coalition of musicians that has protested the Recording Academy’s decision to drop 31 categories from the Grammy Awards is stepping up the pressure, calling for a boycott of the Grammys’ telecast partner, CBS, and hiring a lawyer to explore legal action. “We will ask people to stop watching CBS, boycott their sponsors and then write them,” said Bobby Sanabria, a Grammy-nominated Latin jazz musician and the leader of the coalition. Sanabria has claimed the reductions unfairly target ethnic music and called the Academy’s decision racist. In response, the Recording Academy said Thursday evening that while it respected the coalition’s right to disagree, it rejected its allegations. CBS, which declined to comment, is scheduled to broadcast the Grammys next February from Los Angeles. — Associated Press

Fleeing is the new fighting.” All along, Griffin can’t see how sweet and seemingly available the zoo’s eagle expert and vet (Rosario Dawson) is. She’s into guys who are into animals. “You’re like the frickin’ hippo whisperer,” she cracks.

Director Frank Coraci, a veteran of Adam Sandler’s comic style (The Waterboy), is more at home with the slapstick than the would-be romance or the movie’s darker subtext. Bernie (Nick Nolte), a forlorn gorilla, has long been kept in a cave so he can’t repeat his attack on a cruel zookeeper (Donnie Wahlberg). The film’s silliest scenes involve Griffin dragging Bernie along to Bernie’s dream eatery — T.G.I.Friday’s — where Bernie, supposedly on his way to a costume party, is a hit. The film’s mix of digital critters and real animals results in far too many shots of this beast or that one standing alone in the shot, mouth moving, cracking jokes. But the cuddly, ever-put-upon James takes his comic lumps like a man. His Griffin suffers injuries and indignities and lets us laugh at him as he does. No matter where the script wanders and where the direction founders, at some point, James’ comic instincts take over. And this time, they don’t let him down.

Don’t judge a show by its genre One of my favorite television shows of all time often gets discounted on account of its genre. I tell people to check it out if they haven’t seen it and they say: “Oh it just isn’t for me.” or “I’m not really into that type of thing.” Of course I’m talking about Bobby Bozeman Battlestar Galactica. It’s one of the Pop great shows of the Cultured past 10 years, right up there with The Wire, The Sopranos, Mad Men and Breaking Bad. But because of its setting, it’s often shrugged off as some Star Trek ripoff or the like. This isn’t something you should let happen with HBO’s recent addition Game of Thrones . Often works of genre fiction — sci-fi, fantasy, westerns — put themselves in that category because the story is more about the setting, and the setting dominates every-

thing that happens. Occasionally a work is so transcendent that it no longer is deemed worthy of fitting into a neat little genre box. The Dark Knight comes to mind or The Lord of the Rings. They work because fundamentally they aren’t about a man who dresses as a bat or Elijah Wood trying to fit into a world of normal sized people and Orlando Bloom. They work for the same reason any story works, they work because they are about us, humanity. And Game of Thrones — based on the series A Song of Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin — works for the same reasons. Strip away all the medieval fantasy trappings, the blood, the sex, the sword play and this is still a great story. The same goes for Battlestar Galactica or Harry Potter. Plus, Game of Thrones has something that Battlestar Galactica never had. A budget. HBO executives go to sleep each night on beds of money and their pillows are stuffed with the ashes from the 100 dollar bills they use to light their cigars with

(they recycle, it’s good for the Earth). And HBO has come off incredibly dedicated to making everything work, and have spared no expense in time or delays to make sure everything is just right. And the show? It’s great. I just binged through it after a couple of friends raved about great it was constantly. I didn’t really plan on it, but I couldn’t stop. If you choose to catch up and watch the first season this summer (the first season just wrapped up and it was only 10 episodes long so you don’t have too much to catch up on) be warned that this show, like a lot of HBO shows, puts a good deal of expectations on the viewer. You really have to keep an eye on things and all the character introductions can be a mess to untangle in the first couple of episodes. But once things hit stride around episode five, Game of Thrones really takes off. I’m already looking forward to next year, so you should do yourself the favor and check out this brilliant show.

Review | VIDEO GAMES

Game downloads, big fun at a small price By Lou Kesten Associated Press

Video-game publishers seem to believe their audience would rather risk sunburn than have fun in air-conditioned comfort, so you won’t find many major new games in stores during the summer. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing new out there — and you don’t need to search any further than the online services Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Store. One studio that’s made a big impression in the download-only market is Double Fine Productions, led by industry legend Tim Schafer. Its new release is called “Trenched” (Microsoft, for Xbox 360, $15), and it’s a witty mash-up of the third-person shooter and tower defense genres. You control a “trench,” a giant, walking mech that you can deck out with machine guns, cannons, grenade launchers and other weapons. You can also place a limited number of stationary turrets to help defend your territory. You’ll need all that to save Western civilization from the Tubes, an electronic menace bent on enslaving humanity. “Trenched” isn’t as silly as Double Fine’s previous downloadable titles, “Costume Quest” and “Stacked,” though it does have some laugh-out-loud gags. (From a menu describing an olive paint

Microsoft/Associated Press

In this video game image released by Microsoft, a giant mech battles electronic monsters in a scene from ‘Trenched.’ job you can apply to your trench: “This paint is not actually made of olives. Please do not eat it.”) On the other hand, the game play is more expertly paced, smoothly ramping up the difficulty as it provides access to more powerful weapons. It’s a relatively short campaign, but the ability to join forces with up to three friends online boosts its replay value. Three stars out of four. In “Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax” (Marvelous Entertainment, for Xbox 360, $10), you have just 30 sec-

onds to stop a madman from unleashing Armageddon. Fail, and you can reset and try again. Succeed, and the credits roll — until you discover there’s another madman waiting in the next town over. Over the course of more than 60 quests, “Half-Minute Hero” deftly parodies all the cliches and conventions of Japanese role-playing games like “Final Fantasy.” Three stars. “Red Johnson’s Chronicles” (Lexis Numerique, for PlayStation 3, $13) is less frenetic but still absorbing. It’s a detective

story laced with brainteasers, much like Nintendo’s Professor Layton games, but the mystery is more down-to-earth: Who killed a much-loathed street thug? It’s not a particularly surprising or rewarding case, and the end game — in which you have to answer about 50 multiple-choice questions to build an indictment — is a drag. However, during the investigation you have to solve a few dozen puzzles of observation and logic. These challenges are generally clever, and a few are downright diabolical (but fair). Two-and-a-half stars. “Magic: The Gathering, Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012” (Wizards of the Coast, for Xbox 360 and PS3, $10) may be a mouthful, but it offers a slick introduction to the venerable collectible card game. The object is to wear down your opponent by flinging spells or monsters at him while blocking his counterattacks. The core campaign pits you against a succession of increasingly tough computerized opponents. You can also invite two other humans to join you in epic threeon-one battles against extra-powerful “Archenemies.” Or you can just dive into online one-on-one matches. I haven’t played Magic in years, but “Planeswalkers 2012” got me hooked again. Three stars.

Small package, big dream Envizion’s EVO2 game system gives Anniston a reason to smile Derrick Samuels has heard all the criticism about his EVO2 console. People say his product will fail or has no use. Some even believe the console doesn’t exist. But one look in the eyes of the Envizion CEO tells the story — a dream that began with $5 contributions from friends and family members. The support allowed him to create a video game console, and now he aims to create a system that can be enjoyed worldwide. Chris The negative remarks only help to Pittman fuel Samuels’ drive to make the best possible console he can. iSpy “We got a bad rap because people didn’t realize the original EVO was not intended to be mass distributed,” he said. “It was a stepping stone to the new machine.” Terrence Johnson, director of operations, said some people don’t take the company seriously because of its location. “People see Anniston and dismiss us immediately,” he said. “Outsiders don’t realize that we work just as hard as the big gaming companies.” Samuels is the first to defend his city and wants Annistonians to rally around Envizions. “We want to get the community involved as much as possible,” he said. “We want to create jobs and provide educational tools to local schools.”

nent of the console. A client can also be downloaded on Windows, OS X and Linux platforms to save computer files. Samuels demonstrated the speed on his laptop. A single click to upload a file and within seconds, it’s in the cloud. The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. “We are all about cloud computing with the EVO2,” Samuels said. “I feel like cloud storage and gaming go together.” Cloud computing is a term for pulling data off a server using an Internet connection. This method is less expensive because a hard drive is not required. Then it was time to game. Johnson loaded up Angry Birds to show me how it compares to 10 other iterations I’ve played. The EVO2 loaded the game in less than 10 seconds. Maneuvering around the menus was problemfree using the EVO2 remote control. Every click and movement was fluid and felt smooth. Quite a feat for a game designed for touch controls. I was a little concerned about actual in-game controls though, as the title requires precision. Again, the EVO2 remote worked exactly as it

“I wanted to create a gaming console with a social conscience.” — Derrick Samuels, Envizion’s CEO

should. I was able to fling my angry birds just as easily as on the iPad. The game looks fantastic when output at 1080P. The image is not stretched at all. A baseball game was next on the docket, one that I have played quite a bit of on iOS devices. The image was once again crystal clear. Controlling the action on-screen was fluid and solid. Envizions has plenty of exclusive games in development stage. These titles will take advantage of the modified operating system. “We have platforming, shooters and more in the works,” Samuels said. “There will be a little bit of everything on the EVO2.”

Bringing people together Samuels’ vision has always included a large social and community presence. “I wanted to create a gaming console with a social conscience,” he said. Twitter and Facebook are all that’s needed for many these days, but they didn’t quite fit the criteria of Samuels’ plan. Thus, Qquip was born.

Inside the beast Walking into the demonstration room revealed an immediate surprise — an Android version 2.2 on a monitor. The lone difference was a mouse cursor created to replace the normal touch control method. Samuels had to point out the EVO2 unit resting on the table next to the screen. The machine is small and compact. The professional appearance and sleek design fits right in with other consumer products you’d connect to your television. Johnson maneuvered around the menus, stopping to show off how fast the EVO2 can load different media. The machine can load music, photos and videos in mere seconds. Envizions’ new technology, called GameBox, powers the storage compo-

Qquip is a social site that works a lot like Twitter. The biggest difference is a rewards system that awards points to users. These points can later be redeemed for free downloads of certain games. The service also features a trivia game. Users who correctly answer questions will receive a bump to their points total. “We wanted a site that would reward people for something they are already doing,” Samuels said. “Why not post from our site and earn prizes instead of a simple Tweet?”

One in a million Envisions also wants to help ease the pain caused by the April 27 tornadoes. The company has announced its 1 Million Dreams Campaign, which aims to provide a free EVO2 to storm victims. “We want the community to rally around those that lost everything in the tornadoes,” Johnson said. The premise is simple. Purchase an EVO2 and Envizions will donate a console or tablet to a needy child for Christmas. The company is extending the campaign to cover abused and neglected children. The goal is quite a lofty one, but Samuels feels confident the campaign will take off. “We have families that have nothing right now,” he said. “With all that is going on, many have no idea how they are going to handle Christmas this year. “We’re thinking about it for them.”

Life after EVO2

Bill Wilson/ The Anniston Star

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) showcases the biggest game developers and their newest consoles and games. This year’s show proved that most companies are content with the hardware they already have on the market. In fact, console manufacturers have stressed the importance of extending this generation for as long as possible. Many internal Microsoft employees predict the Kinect product will double the life of the Xbox 360.

System specifications Processor: Samsung 1.2 GHZ processor RAM: DDR2-512MB Operating system: Modified Android 2.2 (FroYo) USB: 3 ports Bluetooth: Yes (Keyboard/Mouse) Retail price: $249.99 (includes controller, remote and HDMI cable)

On the Net Envizions website: www.envizionsinc.com GameBox: www.gameboxit.com/ 1 Million Dreams Campaign: http://bit.ly/m8LpIS Qquip: www.qquip.com Derrick Samuels, shown at left, demonstrates his EVO2 console, at right. Nintendo was the only company to introduce a new home console machine — the WiiU. So why are companies waiting so long? “Nobody knows what the next big thing in gaming will be,” Samuels said. “Companies are taking small steps so that money and resources are not wasted.” Samuels is following the same school of thought as he prepares for the successor to the EVO2. “We’re hoping to have the next console release about the same time as the next PlayStation and Xbox,” he said. The EVO3 is planned to have a continued focus on the Android Operating System. Envizions has no plan to abandon the format fans are used to. All other features will be held close to the chest. Samuels doesn’t want the competition to know his secrets. For now, Envizions is working to make the EVO2 the best console they can. “It’s hard being the underdog,” Johnson said. “But in the end, it just drives us to work even harder.”

Winning roast

www.bamaescapes.com Associated Press

Comedy Central to tackle Sheen By Greg Braxton Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Two and a Half Men and its fired star, Hollywood bad boy Charlie Sheen, will return to TV this fall together — but not together. Sheen, who was ousted from the CBS comedy in March after numerous run-ins with the law, battles with substance abuse and fights with his boss, will be roasted on Comedy Central on Sept. 19, the same evening that Two and a Half Men premieres with new cast member Ashton Kutcher. The actor and his former show won’t compete against each other: The sitcom will air at 8 p.m. while The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen, which is being taped Sept. 10, will be broadcast at 9 p.m. Still, scheduling the roast on the same night as Two and a Half Men is an obvious ploy to capitalize on the curiosity over the fate of his character and, more broadly, Sheen’s bizarre behavior. “You could say I’ve been providing kindling for this roast for a while,” Sheen said in a statement released Tuesday. “It’s time to light it up. It’s going to be epic.” Sheen’s outlandish antics, drugfueled shenanigans and legal troubles are easy fodder for the roasts, which have proved to be some of the cable network’s most popular offerings, attracting typically between 2 and 3 million viewers. The most recent roast, of former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, drew 3.5 million viewers when it was first broadcast last August. The roasts, characterized by rude jokes, foul language and politically incorrect humor designed to simultaneously embarrass and honor the roastee, previously have skewered such celebrities as Pamela Anderson, William Shatner, Flavor Flav and Bob Saget. No roasters are set yet for the Sheen event. Although Comedy Central executives were quick to announce the roast Tuesday, they did not make themselves available to elaborate.

Summer, the new fall

Plenty of new post-Memorial Day programming to pick from By David Bauder

Paranormal Challenge. The new shows run the gamut. There Associated Press are celebrity-based reality shows, featurNEW YORK — If September is what ing the likes of Roseanne Barr, Brad Garfirst comes to mind when considering rett, Sarah Ferguson and Ryan and Tatum new television shows, there are some 82 O’Neal.

So far in 2011 it’s nearly 90, The deluge illustrates rapid change in with half the year left to go, he said. the television industry: It’s only been a few Networks like FX, USA and AMC all years that cable networks have actively learned over the past decade how one sought to exploit the broadcasters’ sumor two critically praised new series can mer vacation to suit their own needs, and transform their reputations, so it’s no already some executives wonder if they surprise others have tried.

they’ve seen everything before. To put something before them that feels in any way fresh is incredibly difficult.” The good thing for viewers is that the competition forces more quality material to be made. “Mediocrity sinks like a stone in this marketplace,” Landgraf said. There are other factors that limit where programmers can schedule new programming in the summer beyond the glut of competition. The NBA Finals in June are to be avoided. With good weather, people are often outside and not settled down in front of the TV before 9 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights are usually passed by because many young viewers have other social plans. To make it tougher, broadcast networks also seem a little more active this season than in the recent past; NBC’s America’s Got Talent and The Voice have been popular in the early summer. DVRs and the growing use of video on demand is one silver lining for the networks. Increasingly he’s looking at how many people watch his shows through these formats and less at ratings for the night a first episode aired, and ad campaigns are focused more on awareness of the show than when it’s on the schedule. “There really are no soft slots,” he said. “You have to go for it.”

‘The Killing’ killer will be revealed

TV CROSSWORD

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Q: It is all your fault that I am suffering from frustration. You said The Killing was so good that I watched. So intriguing was the story that I stayed through all 11 episodes. Since I’m almost 80, I told my son that if I died before The Killing ended, he should come to my grave and tell me “who done it.” And then they left you hanging. How could they be so cruel? I’ll tell you one thing, I’m not signing on for another 11 episodes. A: As I indicated above, you are not the only person to write in unhappily about the way the AMC series did not resolve its main mystery — who killed Rosie Larsen — at season’s end. (The first season also ran 13 episodes, so I hope you did not miss a couple.) Another reader griped that the finale “was so contrived and idiotic that I found myself actually laughing as it ended.” A top AMC executive told Entertainment Weekly that the network had not expected such a backlash and it “underestimated the passion viewers have for closure within this season.” According to the Hollywood Reporter, Veena Sud, who ran the series, was pleased by the passion of the reaction — comparing it to that for the ambiguous series finale of The Sopranos. She has promised the second season will reveal Rosie’s killer. Q: I was wondering whatever happened to The Million Dollar Drop. I thought it was a fun show. Is it ever returning? A: Million Dollar Money Drop, to use its full name, was based on a concept that was successful internationally but not a big draw for U.S. viewers. It also encountered some unexpected controversy when one couple was eliminated for giving what the show said was the wrong answer — but was in fact correct. In any case, Fox did not include it in its plans for next season. Q: I watched a Highway to Heaven episode called, I believe, Going Home, Going Home, about Mark saving his grandpa’s farm. I think it was either filmed in Oklahoma or Oklahoma was the setting. Can you tell me the location

Stuart Ramson/Disney/file

Michael Caine has found success in doing voice work. He played Lord Redbrick in ‘Gnomeo & Juliet’ and Finn McMissile in ‘Cars 2.’ — state and town? A: Indeed I can. The episode of the 1984-89 series was set in your home state of Oklahoma, in a town called Twin Rivers, where Mark (played by Victor French) had spent part of his childhood. Q: Could you please tell me if the Oscar-winning British actor who was featured as one of the voices in Gnomeo & Juliet is the same Oscarwinning British actor who is featured as the voice of Finn McMissile in Cars 2? A: Michael Caine is the voice of Finn in Cars 2 and was the voice of Lord Redbrick in Gnomeo & Juliet. Caine has won two Academy Awards, as best supporting actor for Hannah and Her Sisters and The Cider House

Rules, and was nominated four other times, all as best lead actor, for The Quiet American, Alfie, Educating Rita and Sleuth. Q: Since Rocky was released in 1976, has Sylvester Stallone ever appeared in a movie he wasn’t the star of? A: Although much of the time he has been top-billed in his movies — and directed many of them to boot — there have been times since Rocky’s success when Stallone was not a leading man. Among them: He was a supporting voice in Antz, had an unbilled cameo in Staying Alive (the misguided Saturday Night Fever sequel that Stallone directed) and was not the main character but the villain in Spy Kids 3-D.
