Readers react to blog posts and stories from the March 28 issue. On March 28, we reported that U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio had sent a dire warning of a “level of overconfidence” about the security of the nation’s election system heading into the 2018 midterms. Rubio, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters in his Tallahassee office he wasn’t satisfied enough safeguards are in place – from the federal, state and local levels – to ensure the accuracy of the upcoming elections. @Judy LaBossiere Froman Oh my god, so this starts now? Before we even get close to November, start casting doubt. Why? Because the Democrats are going to get rid of all of you … forget it. We all saw this coming from a mile away. @Mindy Hunter F.U. Rubio. I didn’t vote for you the first or second time. Your days are numbered.

@Irwin M. Fletcher He is doing 45’s bidding: With a huge flip impending, there is speculation that Trump will suspend or delay the midterms to make sure they are “legitimate,” and this is how it starts. On March 27, we reported on the arrest of popular YouTuber Jason Ethier while outside the ticket area at Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Ethier was taken into custody by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office on suspicion of trespassing and resisting an officer without violence, according to the arrest affidavit. An excerpt of Ethier’s interaction with authorities was recorded and posted by fellow YouTube user The Fam, who claims that Ethier’s belongings had been stolen. @Jeffries D. Robertshaw This guy and his followers are fools. @Chuck Strom What a doofus. Hopefully he’s banned for life. @Joe DeLustro Does anyone else have this inexplicable urge to punch this guy in the face?

Pulse gunman’s widow found not guilty, a costumed vigilante at UCF, the fight against poop water and other things you may have missed last week. »

Noor Salman found not guilty on all counts in Pulse shooting: A federal jury has found Noor Salman not guilty of helping her

husband in his plans to murder 49 people at the gay nightclub Pulse. After deliberating for almost 12 hours over the course of three days, jurors unanimously acquitted Salman of aiding and abetting Omar Mateen in his plans to conduct the 2016 mass shooting in support of the terrorist organization ISIS. The 12-person jury also found Salman not guilty on a charge of obstruction of justice after federal prosecutors accused her of lying to FBI agents during their investigation. The 31-year-old widow faced a possible life sentence in prison if convicted. By Friday last week, Salman was released from the Orange County jail, where she was being held during court proceedings.

UCF student who owned assault rifles and showed disturbing behavior will be deported: Classmates told UCF Police

they noticed a “distressing change” in Wenliang Sun’s appearance and behavior in February. During an interview with police, the international student disclosed that he owned a LWRC 300 Blackout rifle and ammunition, which he kept in a storage unit off campus. Days after being interviewed by officers, Sun allegedly bought a modified .308 caliber rifle with a scope and bipod. The purchase of the second gun was alarming, and UCF notified federal officials. Sun’s student visa was revoked because he wasn’t going to class and his gun ownership became illegal, though he never made specific threats. UCF officials said he was ordered back to China on March 21 and is not allowed to return to the U.S. for at least 10 years.

Opponents say the bill would allow “partially treated poopy water” to be pumped back into the aquifer that supplies drinking water to a majority of people in the state. Supporters say the water would meet federal drinking standards, but environmentalists argue those guidelines are outdated and certain toxins could not be filtered out.

Florida ordered to create new voting rights restoration system for felons: U.S. District Judge Mark Walker ordered Gov. Rick Scott

and Cabinet officials to revamp the state’s “fatally flawed” voting rights restoration process for former felons by the end of this month. Scott and other officials who serve on the state’s clemency board cannot rely on “whims, passing emotions or perceptions” in their new system to restore felons’ rights. Under the current system, felons must wait five years before applying to have their civil rights restored, and the process following that initial application can take years to complete. A state review showed that about 1.5 million former felons have been disenfranchised in Florida. mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY (AND OBLIVIOUS!) Marco Rubio’s guide to surviving the Trump White House Sen.

Marco

Rubio

spent

much of the last week imploring us not to freak out. Having spent the bulk of March being pilloried for his slavishness to the death merchants of the NRA – and trying to cast himself as a sort of “common sense” gobetween, even though he voted against expanded background checks after Sandy Hook – Little Marco now wants to be the calm voice of reason, the adult in a room of hyperventilating children. And so we all need to calm down. We should not be worried, Rubio says, about the Department of Commerce’s plan to include a question about citizenship on the 2020 Census. “Latest absurd freak out is over #census2020 citizenship question,” he tweeted. “In every nation citizenship matters, so shouldn’t we know how many we have? And districts apportioned based on # of people not here legally dilutes the political representation of citizens & legal residents.” Never mind that the Census already ascertains citizenship information on the American Community Survey, and that the short-form census hasn’t asked about citizenship for a half-century. Never mind that the Department of Justice – headed by unreconstructed racist Jeff Sessions – has dubious motives for seeking the change, which it did ostensibly to protect voting rights. (If you believe that, I’ve got some swampland to sell you.) Never mind that the change is nakedly political, designed to give rural conservatives a further lock on power. Right now, the Constitution requires that legislative and congressional districts be divvied up based on the number of residents; however, Republicans have been pushing for this count to be done on the basis of citizens,

which would take members of Congress away from immigrant-heavy urban areas and distribute them to rural (read: Republican) areas. The Supreme Court cracked open the door to such a move in a recent decision, and this is a part of a larger plan to exploit it. And never mind that asking this question will cause an inaccurate undercount of immigrant communities. Undocumented parents of citizen children and other mixedstatus households won’t want their families included. More than that, though, given the administration’s lackluster record on civil rights, it seems likely that immigrants, people in poverty and others who are likely to be undercounted in the first place will decline to participate, which will have lasting ramifications for how billions of federal dollars are spent.

TRUMP IS REMOVING THE GUARDRAILS FROM HIS OWN ADMINISTRATION. But don’t worry about it, Rubio tells us. The Trump administration is totally on the up and up. Nor should we worry about Trump’s firing of National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, whom he replaced with Fox News talking head John Bolton, a man who never met a war he didn’t love. Again from Twitter: “Ridiculous media freak out over John Bolton continues. It is a blatant lie to portray him as just some media pundit. With years of combined experience at DOJ & StateDept he is, by far, more qualified than Tom Donilon or Susan Rice were when they got the same job under Obama.” Bolton was, for a hot minute, U.S. ambas-

sador to the United Nations. He was a recess appointment under George W. Bush who could not even come close to clearing a Senate confirmation. Thus, when his recess appointment ran out, he and his mustache were banished to cable punditry, where Bolton has advocated for making war on Iran and North Korea and still defends to this day the godawful decision to invade Iraq, which he championed. Bolton was for a pre-emptive strike on a nuclear-armed North Korea (which is nuts) and believes we should bail on the Iran nuclear agreement (also nuts). Of course Bolton starts wars, for the same reason that when you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. It’s the only thing he knows how to do. And the president isn’t sophisticated enough – or, frankly, smart enough – to keep him in check. And that is why John Bolton is so incredibly dangerous. But the bigger problem is not just Bolton. It’s that Trump is removing the guardrails from his own administration. Back in August, the website Axios reported that a group of White House generals, New Yorkers and Republican congressional leaders had formed a loose alliance dubbed the Committee to Save America, more accurately described as a committee to save America from Donald Trump’s worst impulses. This informal group included chief of staff John Kelly, National Security Adviser McMaster and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, three former generals. Now McMaster is gone, replaced by a frothing-atthe-mouth warmonger. The D.C. rumor mill is rife with speculation that Trump might dump Kelly and become his own chief of staff. And who knows how long Mattis – a voice of sanity in this administration, though he was considered overly hawkish by the last one – will hold on. The New Yorkers and the congressional Republicans have similarly been unable to keep Trump in hand; the president is untamed and unbridled, acting on impulse and whim. The Committee to Save America has failed. Now we have John Bolton and the Committee to End the World. But sure, Marco. Nothing to see here. Move along. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Its structure, devised by Bernstein and colibrettist Stephen Schwartz (Godspell), leans on the traditional segments of the Catholic liturgy, interspersed with all those popular styles. It is also a moving – though some might say hokey – story. “Think of it as an oratorio with more staging and dramatic content than a typical oratorio,” says stage director Michael Wainstein. Fresh in his new position as director of the UCF School of Performing Arts, Wainstein was approached last fall by music director David Brunner with the idea of inaugurating this year’s UCF Celebrates the Arts festival with the Mass, joining the worldwide celebration of Bernstein’s centennial. UCF’s original production – Wainstein and the creative team used no references to past performances – opens this weekend at the Dr. Phillips Center. It is one of the largest-scale productions UCF has presented, “like a dance concert, a theater show and an oratorio all rolled into one,” says Wainstein.

rative of Mass. The libretto juxtaposes the serenity of the devoted with the harsher voice of the disaffected; in the hymn-like “A Simple Song,” the Jesus-like Celebrant croons, “Sing like you like to sing/ God loves simple things/ For God is the simplest of all” over clean electric guitar chords, somewhat naively. It has the spirit of contemporary nondenominational church music. In “I Believe in God,” the opposing Street Chorus challenges with “I believe in God/ But does God believe in me?” The chorus represents youth voicing their concerns and feelings about authority, says Wainstein. For the production, he is having them carry cell phones, playing the part of contemporary students who have had it with governmental policy and political opacity. There’s also plenty of kitsch in the libretto: “I believe in F-sharp/ I believe in G/ But does it mean a thing to you/ Or should I change my key?” sings what you might call a more pragmatic character, as if arguing for belief in only that which can be submitted to self-referential scrutiny. Bernstein’s catchy melodies support the narrative arc; in the end there is a final return to the “Simple Song,” a symbol of the human capacity – maybe the need – to still believe in God, in something, despite all adversity. Maybe because of it. And it’s a great show. The Mass largely works because of the cathartic narrative to which we all can relate, to various degrees. At its most daring, it questions “the purpose of a creator and what we should expect from religion,” says Wainstein. This reaches a climax in “Things Get Broken,” an extended spiritual-breakdown aria in which the Celebrant defies his Creator: “Are you still waiting? Still waiting for me/ Me alone/ To sing you into heaven?/ Well, you’re on your own,” he condemns Him. Still, faith prevails, as the Street Chorus empathizes with him and they praise the faith that brought them together in the first place, even if it seems too easy a solution to the problems society has built up for itself. In the end, says Wainstein, the Celebrant “realizes – I think – that faith is possible regardless of its challenges.” arts@orlandoweekly.com

WRONG: OPERATIONS

BY SETH KUBERSKY

Last week, while all the good

Jews were busy preparing matzo-ball soup for the seder, I was noshing on roasted pork and other delicious (though decidedly non-kosher) Latin dishes during a media preview of SeaWorld Orlando’s Seven Seas Food Festival. The second annual event, which has been extended for an additional two weekends through April 29, represents another strong entry in a growing seasonal calendar that also includes this summer’s returning EDM-inspired Electric Ocean party and a first-class Christmas celebration starring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. However, if you follow the theme park industry, you know that these are challenging times for the home of Shamu. Attendance and revenue dropped last fiscal year, leading to a $200 million loss and the recent departure of CEO Joel Manby, who had been brought in to turn the company around in the wake of the Blackfish backlash. Although animal rights activism is certainly impacting SeaWorld’s bottom line, it’s far from the park’s only problem. While I don’t have any definitive advice for interim CEO John Reilly (other than “keep your résumé polished”), as a seasoned attractions observer I can point to places where SeaWorld appears to be swimming in the correct direction, and others where it’s swiftly sinking.

RIGHT: DEMOGRAPHICS

With festival booths serving authentic Latin dishes like mofongo con carne frita and bacalaítos, and the Bayside Stadium hosting Puerto Rican musicians Yandel (April 7) and Jerry Rivera (April 8), SeaWorld again demonstrates its leadership among Orlando’s attractions in outreach to our region’s fastest-growing community. “It’s not something new to us,” marketing manager Maribel Alicea says. “We’ve had 17 years of doing Viva Musica;

really Black Russian,” Feb. 4, 2015 – and this seemed like a golden opportunity to break it out again. With coconut gelato in mind, I wanted a coconut-based cocktail to base my Remix on, but I did the Pina Colada last month. So I settled on the Painkiller, a tiki-inflected recipe developed in the British Virgin Islands in the early 1970s using Pusser’s Rum, a high-proof dark rum based on the formula issued to British Navy sailors. The ice cream is blend of indulgent flavor and texture with a healthy-ish formula – Greenery Creamery’s black-ash coconut ice cream is a vegan coconut-cream-based blend. To echo that in the cocktail, I skipped the highly processed Coco Lopez sweetened coconut cream usually used and substituted coconut water. (It’s questionable how “not processed” it would be, but coconut LaCroix could also be used.) To keep the flavors sweet and streamlined, I omitted the orange juice and call here for fresh-pressed pineapple juice. (Don’t even bother with canned juice. Blech.) And instead of Pusser’s, I swapped in blackstrap rum for its caramelly molasses flavor profile, significantly reducing the ABV. See, healthy-ish can be tasty too. jyoung@orlandoweekly.com

THE PAINKILLER BY JESSICA BRYCE YOUNG

ast week the Greenery Creamery, a new vegan-friendly ice cream shop, opened downtown and completely took over my social media feeds. It’s a given for a small food-based business to focus heavily on Instagram for marketing purposes and Greenery Creamery was no different; most of its adorable photos prominently featured their trendy black-ash ice cream and waffle cones against a background of millennial pastels. What can I say, it hit me right in the demographics.

Black-ash ice cream, a startling sweet popular in bigger cities for the past couple of years, is often flavored coconut or a similarly clean-but-creamy nut or fruit flavor. This may be because the edible charcoal used to give it its Gothy hue is sometimes made from burnt coconut shells, though the charcoal lends no flavor and usually very little texture to the ice cream. (Each shop’s process and product is different, of course.) I’ve used charcoal in Remix cocktails just once before – see “The really,

Omelet Bar “Nothing beats an American breakfast,” says Mr. Tarek Kanso, the owner of local brunch spot Omelet Bar. Kanso would know: his extensive international travels after graduating from the University of Central Florida in 2005 allowed him to try his favorite meal of the day in a number of foreign countries, but nothing hit the spot like American-style bacon, eggs, waffles and, of course, omelets. During Kanso’s time at UCF he noticed a lack of dining options in the area: aside from one restaurant, there was nowhere to get your breakfast on. He looked into opening a breakfast restaurant with a friend, but upon further research they shelved the idea for a while. After working in the corporate world for a few years, Kanso grew tired of it and returned to

Orlando to begin working on his dream restaurant. He’d seen the economic growth that was beginning to take place in Orlando during his time in college and saw a lot of potential in the area. After waiting three years to find the perfect location, Kanso opened Omelet Bar near UCF in January 2017. The love and commitment to creative, high-quality food is obvious in Omelet Bar’s menu. “I did a lot of research going into the restaurant business, looking not only at what was out there but at what was lacking,” Kanso says. “At a lot of places you don’t feel the soul in the food, it just feels like another fast food joint.” That’s definitely not the case at Omelet Bar. With a commitment to fresh ingredients, from the New York strip steaks

shaved fresh daily into their Philly Steak Omelet to the house made raspberry butter and bourbon syrup that comes with their Chicken & Waffle flight, you won’t find a dish that tastes like another assembly-line egg and pancake combo meal at a chain restaurant. The fresh ingredients are met with fresh twists on breakfast classics, like the Southwestern Bowl (a Mexican-inspired scramble inside a bread bowl) and the Bostonian Omelet (a pepper jack cheese and mushroom creation topped with lobster bisque). The savory dishes aren’t the only things worth sticking a fork in here. French Quarter beignets are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with the perfect dusting of powdered sugar on top and fresh raspberry syrup on the side. Omelet Bar’s inventive nature doesn’t stop at food. Kanso loves a good cocktail, and that love shines through in the restaurant’s extensive selection of unique drinks. Many of the drinks are ambitious, like the chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker concoction titled “More Smore’s Pwease,” but the combination works surprisingly well as a 21-and-up treat. Patrons can go well beyond the typical mimosa or Bloody Mary order with orlandoweekly.com

Omelet Bar’s drink menu. Besides the dining options, Omelet Bar’s got a lot going for it in terms of ambience. The open floor plan allows diners to see their food being made behind the bar, and the modern design is clean, well-lit and welcoming. Servers are wellversed in the menu’s many items, helping diners find the best food and drink combinations for a next-level brunch. And Kanso takes the opinions and needs of his customers seriously, guaranteeing only the best for patrons of this local spot. “I personally persevere to do my best. I take everything seriously — my crew knows that,” Kanso stresses. “If somebody isn’t satisfied I sit down and try to fix it, even if it’s only one person. If I see something on Facebook or Yelp, I reply to it, and my replies are genuine.” Rather than resting on the laurels of his success with just one Omelet Bar location, Tarek is looking to branch out and add an additional Omelet Bar to the Orlando area within the next year. Sticking true to his commitment to quality, Kanso is waiting to find just the right location. But once he gets the farm fresh eggs cracking in Omelet Bar’s second spot, the possibilities (and omelet combinations) for this local business are practically limitless.

PHOTO COURTESY ENZIAN THEATER / FLORIDA FILM FESTIVAL

Film guide Everything you need to know to get the most out of this year’s Florida Film Festival BY T HADDEUS MCCOL LU M

entral Florida’s most prestigious film festival, the Florida Film Festival, returns this week for its 27th year. Boasting more than 180 films – its largest slate to date – the festival runs from Friday, April 6, to Sunday, April 15, with screenings at Enzian Theater and the Regal Winter Park Village Cinema. This year sees the festival bringing in a significant number of high-profile upcoming releases from independent filmmakers. In addition to the opening night film, American Animals, a documentary-narrative hybrid that’s garnered rave reviews from screenings at Sundance, the festival’s Spotlight Films category includes hotly anticipated documentaries like the Ruth Bader Ginsburg biography RBG and the Fred Rogers-focused Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, along with Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody’s latest collaboration, Tully, tennis drama Borg McEnroe and Hearts Beat Loud from director Brett Haley – who also directed last year’s opening night film, The Hero. 30

But while the Spotlight Films might get the lion’s share of attention, audiences would be foolish to sleep on the rest of the festival’s offerings, including 10 narrative features and just as many feature-length documentaries up for competition. And the best bang for your buck comes from the 12 different shorts programs – including animated shorts, experimental film shorts, international shorts, Florida shorts and the always uproarious Midnight Shorts. The festival is the only Oscaraccredited festival in Florida, meaning that winners of the shorts competition are automatically qualified to be nominated in the shorts categories at next year’s Academy Awards. But movies are only part of the fun of the festival. As in previous years, parties and events abound around the fest. After the opening night screening, the grounds of the Enzian become a gourmand’s playground with complimentary food and drinks at the separately ticketed opening night party. Local musicians pro-

vide a live soundtrack for festivalgoers at the outdoor Eden Bar throughout the festival. Winter Park Village hosts a Festival Block Party for ticketholders from 3-5 p.m. Saturday, April 7, just across the street from the Regal Cinema with free drinks and appetizers. The Locally Fresh program returns, with live cooking demonstrations alongside food-focused shorts and a local farmers market on Sunday, April 8. And both Sundays, April 8 and 15, feature brunch buffets at the Enzian. It wouldn’t be a film festival without a few celebrities, and this year is no different. Film star Pam Grier will be on hand on Sunday, April 8, for a screening of Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. And Ellen Burstyn joins the festival Friday, April 13, for a screening of Darren Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream. American Animals star Blake Jenner will be in attendance for the opening night screening and party. Romany Malco, known for his roles in Weeds and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, will be in attendance with his film Prison Logic, which he wrote, directed and starred in. And Nashville star Aubrey Peeples will be in attendance for a screening of Locating Silver Lake, a competition narrative feature about a recent college grad who moves to L.A. to work in film. And that’s just the onscreen talent. Plenty of directors and producers will be present to introduce their films or give Q&As during the festival.

The best place to find information on the festival is now the dedicated Florida Film Festival app, available for both iOS and Android. Within the app, users can mark films they want to see or events they want to attend, view trailers, and use the calendar feature to keep track of when and where they should go to maximize their festival experience. Purchasing tickets is a breeze as well. Individual tickets to most features and shorts programs are $11, but you can save some money by purchasing ticket vouchers in bulk or springing for passes that grant you varying levels of access. tmccollum@orlandoweekly.com

Homegrown Florida filmmakers embrace their local festival BY CAMERON MEIE R

s one of the nation’s most prestigious movie events, the Florida Film Festival has international scope. But there’s no denying its name, and this year’s festival includes roughly 40 films with some form of Florida connection. But because the festival concentrates on quality, variety, diversity and premiere status, its focus is not necessarily on movies from the Sunshine State. Some Orlando filmmakers have even labeled the festival unfriendly toward local talent. But don’t tell that to the Florida moviemakers whose films were accepted this year. “We’re very excited to be in the festival, and the main reason for that is because it is the festival we attended when we were in high school,” says Ric Serena, who directed the documentary My Indiana Muse with his wife, Jen. Both filmmakers were born and raised in Sanford and met while attending Seminole High School. “Part of me is excited about the potential of sharing this with all my friends and family in the Central Florida area, and then there’s this part of me that [is] nostalgic about being in the festival

that was the first film festival that I ever attended,” he says. “Even aside from the festival, the Enzian is a place we would typically go to see independent cinema. I have such a nostalgic memory of how beautiful the theater is.” Nostalgia also runs deep for Randall Christopher. Not only is the Orlando native proud to have his award-winning animated documentary The Driver Is Red – which he calls his “first proper film” – in Shorts Program No. 5, but he’s happy to return to the festival that crowned his Backyard Jam the Grand Jury winner for animation in 2013. Typical of born-and-bred Florida moviemakers, both Serena and Christopher are now living in California. Though it wasn’t specifically filmmaking that precipitated the moves, there’s no denying that Florida – through a lack of tax breaks for the movie industry – isn’t the easiest place to film. Sure, if you’re an amateur working with no budget, you will certainly find resources, such as Full Sail University and the Orlando Film Commission. But if you have loftier goals, your road will be rockier. “When I started working at Disney in the late ’80s, there was a huge push …

where Orlando was trying to get the film industry,” Christopher says. “Tax incentives are really important, and there just needs to be support from the government and from the people.” Though the Florida film dream of 30 years ago was never fully realized, Orlando filmmakers can make a living. For instance, Jason Murphy sees success sans festivals with his unique brand of direct-to-video family films; Brendan Rogers, Will Phillips and Aléa Figueroa of And You Films produce direct-tointernet parody mash-up movies; and Stephen Stull is again bringing his twisted cinema to the Florida Film Festival’s Midnight Shorts program with The Jerry Show. Other locals enjoy seeing their short films play Enzian’s monthly FilmSlam and annual Brouhaha Film & Video Showcase. Those two minifestivals are filled exclusively with films made in Florida, as is the Florida Film Festival’s “Best of Brouhaha,” which this year includes 13 short films. (Among them is In a Heartbeat, an animated gem from Sarasota’s Ringling College of Art & Design that was shortlisted for an Academy Award.) And don’t tell director Kirk Murray that locals can’t succeed, as his A Mediocre Documentary With Tom and Dan is getting its world premiere at this year’s festival. Not only is the documentary set and filmed in Orlando with an almost entirely local crew, but its subjects (radio legends Tom Vann orlandoweekly.com

and Daniel Dennis) are local too. And Murray’s movie is not a festival anomaly, as Prison Logic (a comedy directed by Romany Malco) and Long Time Coming (a documentary feature directed by Jon Strong, about one of the first integrated Little League baseball games in the South) are also set and filmed partially in Central Florida. Another topic close to Floridians’ hearts is voting, and at least two festival films address that topic: Let My People Vote (a short documentary directed by Gilda Ann Brasch, about re-enfranchising felons) and A Greater Society (a feature doc about “super voters” in a South Florida retirement community). “Everybody was telling us you’ve really gotta screen at the Florida Film Festival. It’s one of the best,” says Stacy Goldate, co-director of A Greater Society. “It’s just really exciting to be able to premiere in Florida our film that is about Florida, [and] we really want to reach out beyond the festival, into the community to help people get out and vote.” Oh, and while you’re at your polling place, why not vote for candidates who support filmmaking tax breaks? Local moviemakers will surely thank you. Until those financial incentives arrive, the Florida Film Festival will continue to prove how much the state has to offer the world of cinema. arts@orlandoweekly.com ●

One of the festival’s most anticipated Spotlight films, Lean on Pete is a bleak and unexpectedly complex story of despair, perseverance and, ultimately, survival.

stalks a suburban town, a group of intrepid kids investigate the possibility that a local police officer is the culprit. Perfect fodder for nostalgia geeks stuck in a holding pattern until the next season of Stranger Things. – TM

For the first time, the Florida Film Festival devotes an entire shorts block to experimental film, and it looks like they’ve chosen a splendid assortment. From Animal Cinema, a compilation of up-close-and-personal clips of various animals interacting with cameras, to

This latest feature from director Michael Curtis Johnson had its premiere at this year’s Slamdance Film Festival. Based on real life events, the

film deals with six small-town teenagers and their struggles with love, drugs and hip-hop. Johnson utilizes an unnerving, edgy visual style to push the narrative forward to an inevitably violent conclusion. – TM

Chappaquiddick

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER THIS WEEK: Blockers A group of killjoy parents try to prevent their daughters from losing their virginity on prom night. Silly old fogies: Don’t they understand that making physical intimacy an arbitrary personal milestone is the only way to get empowered? (R) Chappaquiddick In its never-ending quest for “fairness,” so-called liberal Hollywood bails out (sorry!) the perpetually disgraced GOP by going back to the well (sorry again!) of one Democrat’s tragic attempt to remake Run Silent, Run Deep with an Oldsmobile. Costarring Bruce Dern as Joe Kennedy Senior, because yes, you’ve lived that long. (PG-13) Foxtrot Director Samuel Maoz’s controversial drama about the killing of four innocent Arabs by the Israeli Defense Forces was supposed to open in Orlando last Friday, but its local release was pushed back a week. Gee, how could any distributor exhibit less than 100 percent commitment to a movie that the Israeli minister of culture accused of furthering “the incitement of the young generation against the most moral army in the world”? If Foxtrot doesn’t open here this weekend either, we might have found a few more questions for Netanyahu’s deposition. (R) The Miracle Season In this Christian drama that’s based on a true story, Helen Hunt plays a volleyball coach who has to keep her players centered after one of their teammates dies in a moped accident. Forgive me, Jesus, but that was one funny-ass sentence. (PG) A Quiet Place John Krasinski directs himself and wife Emily Blunt in the story of a family

that tries to evade supernatural attackers by resolving to “never make a sound.” Or, in the words of the teenager who was sitting next to me the first time I saw the trailer, to “shut the fuck up.” I loved that kid. (PG-13) You Were Never Really Here Joaquin Phoenix’s performance as a hitman who’s out to rescue a teenager from a human-trafficking operation won him the Best Actor award at Cannes – and the movie wasn’t even finished yet! (“Oh yeah, and I’m the asshole,” says Justice League.) In case you missed it, Phoenix has now appeared in movies titled You Were Never Really Here and I’m Still Here. So if you move in with this guy, make sure you get your name on the lease. (R) ALSO PLAYING: Birthmarked Married scientists try to disprove the importance of heredity by raising their kids in a way that’s at utter odds with their genetics. “Ostensibly a comedy,” offers Variety helpfully. (NR) Goldstone Last seen in Mystery Road (though maybe not by you), indigenous Australian gumshoe Jay Swan returns to search for a missing Chinese woman. But it’s too late, because Joaquin Phoenix already found her working as a sex slave. On prom night! (R) The Last Movie Star A past-his-prime screen idol (Burt Reynolds) has to come to terms with reality when he’s invited to receive an award at a minor-league Film Festival. This would be a really, really lousy place to mention that our Florida Film Festival coverage begins on page 30. (R) orlandoweekly.com

bumping into someone, it means they’re fighting. Ain’t no pit. And you go to these punk shows, and the energy is fucking crazy and it’s all love. People get bloody, all extra, it’s all love.

Having played with both hip-hop and punk acts, what’s the difference between the two crowds? theOGM: You know, we went from playing with Denzel Curry and Ghostface to playing with Avenged Sevenfold. In 2018, having a tunnel vision on just one type of music is lame. But I just like a rowdy crowd.

BY B AO L E - H U U BIG FREEDIA | PHOTO BY JEN CRAY

BIG FREEDIA, WILL’S PUB, MARCH 31

Probably the best thing to come out of the Southern underground in modern times is bounce music. It’s the most distilled and intense expression of music’s carnal spirit since booty bass. Bounce is pure sex – unleashed, put to the most slapping beat imaginable and set on repeat. If ever there was the sonic manifestation of the very act of hard fucking, bounce is it. Though it’s made some peeks into the popular music landscape since emerging in the ’90s, the fresh New Orleans hiphop breed, in its pure form, has remained mostly a regional tradition. However, Big Freedia – bounce’s larger-thanlife ambassador – is a figure that burns brighter than almost any other breakout in recent memory. You don’t make music like bounce if you don’t already have a big personality. But none have the talent and singularity of Freedia, who owns the most booming voice the genre has ever seen. It’s a power that’s not just made her the poster girl of bounce but an icon unto herself that’s inspired a reality TV series (Big Freedia Bounces Back on Fuse TV) and appearances on songs by Beyoncé, Diplo and RuPaul. Big Freedia is a show I’ve been waiting on for years. And she finally debuted in Orlando as one of this year’s most hotly anticipated tickets, a deal so big and overdue that it sold out an astonishing two months in advance. There are few experiences like being in the same room with this kind of sonic and physical insanity.

Big Freedia – bounce music’s larger-than-life ambassador – burns brighter than almost any other breakout star in recent memory.

This is a celebration of human sexuality in its most raw and revelatory form. You can’t talk about the spectacle of a Big Freedia show without her shake team, the superheroic dancers on whose butt cheeks the term “twerking” has risen to the mainstream. This is no typical arena display where an army of faceless, micro-choreographed background dancers orbits the diva. This is a cavalcade of bionic ass that pushes the imagination on human physical ability. Besides Freedia, who’s a preternaturally gifted twerker herself, her dancers are an assemblage of individual dynamos more akin to a breakdance crew, each a star with their own physical personalities and attitude. Her current squad is made up mostly of younger dancers. But it was the presence of OG shaker Tootie that made it a true Big Freedia show. Despite all the athletics from the newjacks like backflips off the wall, there’s no bigger star on the team than Tootie, who has consistently outclassed all the dance-school stiffs that insufferable choreographer Wilberto has recruited on the TV show (OK, so maybe I’ve seen a few episodes). Team Tootie till I die.

As a queer rapper, Big Freedia’s breakout has always been a great story. But Freedia’s individual force as an artist is what has brought the queen diva to her throne. And you ain’t living till you’ve seen the maximum live overload of a Big Freedia show.

MIGUEL, THE PLAZA LIVE, MARCH 29

While the pop music machine can spin seeming magic from figures of marginal talent, R&B often suffers from an opposite phenomenon. Even at its baseline, R&B is a genre overflowing with naturally gifted voices. But often, voices are all they are. Without solid songs or music, even capable voices can flap about without point like a released balloon and just become nothingness. Miguel – who’s legit enough to be one of the headliners for this year’s Afropunk festival – is one of today’s most incandescent exceptions to that paradox. As a songwriter and producer, he understands music in 360 degrees. Sure, he’s got an exceptional voice. The difference is that he has both the vision and the roadmap to really send it home. Even amid all the major-league production of panoramic video screen, two-level stage, live band and a galaxy of lights, the effortless silk of Miguel’s voice reigns. Instead of overwrought vocal acrobatics, his soul-dripped porn-pop keeps the dial at a persuasive chill that works the G-spot between horny and cool. Add the tinder of a capacity crowd and you’ve got sweet, sweet heat. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Pietà Project ART

In Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz’s powerful durational performance Pietà, the artist opens her arms and invites those in pain to lay down their burdens. “We live in a world where we’re [people of color] told to ‘get over it’ and ‘move on’ while at the same time we constantly see our brothers and sisters lost to injustice,” Raimundi-Ortiz says. “I wanted to create a space for us to be able to stop and feel. To start healing. This is a chance for me to hold my community, let them know I see them and I feel them.” In this performance, Raimundi-Ortiz invites 33 participants of color to be held in her arms for three minutes and 33 seconds each. This artist is more present than Marina Abramovic could ever be. – Jessica Bryce Young 6 p.m. | UCF Student Union, 4000 Central Florida Blvd. | events.ucf.edu | free

Writings on the Wall: An Evening With Kareem Abdul-Jabbar EVENTS

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the NBA all-time leading scorer and both a six-time NBA champion and six-time league MVP, yes, but he’s also one of the most powerful black intellectuals in America, and he’s coming to Rollins College for a talk on his new book, Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White. Abdul-Jabbar – who’s also written a novel reimagining the life of Sherlock Holmes’ brother, Mycroft, a painstakingly sourced history of a black World War II tank battalion, various roundups of black intelligentsia and inventors, and at least three memoirs – is kind of an odd dude but an unmistakably brilliant one. At a time when our political world is so starkly divided, Abdul-Jabbar’s latest work offers a uniquely aligned perspective on those divides: He’s wealthy and privileged, Muslim, African American, highly educated and creative. At the very least, we can’t wait to hear what he has to say about Ben Carson. – JBY 7:30 p.m. | Warden Arena at the Alfond Sports Center, Rollins College, 1000 Holt Ave., Winter Park | 407-691-1995 | rollins.edu | $15-$50

WPRK Presents: Frequencies MUSIC

Originally intended as a celebration of the return of Rollins College radio station WPRK to the FM airwaves – sadly delayed again due to the almost improbable discovery of an eagle’s nest in the new transmitter’s location – Blackstar will instead play host to the first in a series of WPRK-curated events dubbed Frequencies, featuring bands, DJs and guest speakers. This first edition, assembled by longtime WPRK DJ and local musician (Acoqui, White Sands) Steven Head, attempts to connect WPRK’s past, present and future through an impressively eclectic lineup. Confirmed to perform are Head’s current band Acoqui, Cabo Boing, the Palmettes, the recently resurgent Tele & the Ghost of Our Lord and a DJ set from Sales. WPRK and Head will also be bringing you a keynote from Clayton Louis Ferrara of IDEAS for Us about urban wildlife planning in Orlando. Add to the mix DJs from WPRK and Blackstar and, baby, you’ve got yourself a stew. – Matthew Moyer

Spooky Empire EVENTS

Perhaps this time more than ever, the guest list at the semi-annual Spooky Empire convention reads like a genre-crazed autograph hound’s bucket list. Linda Blair! The cast of Animal House! (Well, four of them, anyway!) And most of all, ’80s guitar wizard Vinnie Vincent, making only his second public appearance after two decades of mysterious seclusion. “This is the greatest time, you know? This is better than it ever was,” Vincent told us of his surprise re-emergence (see full interview feature at orlandoweekly. com) – and that sentiment could just as easily apply to Spooky, which enjoys a deserved reputation as one of the friendliest, bestrun cons around. Oh, and you just might get to see the Creature From the Black Lagoon play the bagpipes. – Steve Schneider 1-11 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday | Wyndham Orlando Resort, 8001 International Drive | 954-258-7852 | spookyempire.com | $30-$225

Pod Tours America EVENTS

“Pod Tours America” is one of the looser podcasts among the flourishing cottage industry of political pods our horror-show news cycle has encouraged, consisting of four former aides to President Obama – Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor – grabassing around on whatever fresh can of hell was opened in the past seven days. It’s hard to tell if they’re just punch-drunk from the amount of material they have to cover or are genuinely relaxed about the current administration, but they manage to have a laugh about it, and they might be able to unclench your jaw, too. So c’mon down and join the feminazis, Sharia supporters, antifa activists, George Soros foot soldiers and all the other scary snowflakes who want to take your guns away – this is a (temporarily) safe space. – JBY 8 p.m. | Bob Carr Theater, 401 W.

Moonwalks MUSIC

Young Detroit trio Moonwalks are living, feral proof that even when the “garage rock boom” money disappeared a few years back, the DIY underground in that city kept moving forward like nobody’s business. Somewhere between the sneer of the Dirtbombs and the wide-eyed bliss of Spacemen 3, it’s sure to be a heavy comedown. Along for the ride are St. Pete’s Glove, formed out of the ashes of Veiny Hands, specializing in a noirish dark punk-psych hybrid that brings to mind Crystal Stilts and Death Valley Girls, but with added synth textures for a crucial cinematic flair. Local opener Computer Date is the solo project of the former frontperson of RV and perhaps even more promising – all icy drum machine, brittle guitar lines and anguished baritone. Yeah, it’s a Monday. – MM with Glove, Computer Date | 7 p.m. | Iron Cow, 2438 E. Robinson St. | 407-317-4197 | ironcowcafe.business.site | $5

Buddy Guy MUSIC

Ranked 30th on Rolling Stone’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” Buddy Guy is 81 years old and he’s still kicking as much as he’s picking and grinning. Come watch him grace the stage as one of the world’s last living old-school blues savants, a personal influence on the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, John Mayer and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. And speaking of the Vaughan brothers, catch Guy’s accompaniment, Jimmie Vaughan and Quinn Sullivan, as they jam through the night alongside each other. – Xander Peters

APRIL 4-10, 2018 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y D A N S AVA G E “ R O YA L O A K M U S I C T H E AT R E ” I visited Royal Oak, Michigan, for Savage Love Live at the Royal Oak Music Theatre. I didn’t get to all of the questions submitted by the large and tipsy crowd – a crowd that skipped the Stormy Daniels interview on 60 Minutes to spend the evening with me (so honored, you guys!) – so I’m going to race through as many of the unanswered questions as I can in this week’s column. Is there a way of breaking my cycle of being totally sexual and into someone for the first six months and then shutting down to the point that I don’t want to be sexual with them at all? What’s wrong with me? Breaking a long-established pattern may require the aid of a therapist who can help you unpack your damage – if, indeed, this is about damage. Because it’s possible this could be the way your libido works; you could be wired for a lifetime of loving, short-term relationships. While our culture reserves its praise for successful long-term relationships (think of those anniversary gifts that increase in value with each passing year), a short-term relationship can be a success. Everyone get out alive? No one traumatized? Were you able to pivot to friendship? Then you can regard that relationship as a success – or all those relationships as successes. How common a kink is it to enjoy seeing your significant other having sex with someone else? Common enough to have numerous different ways of manifesting itself – swinging, hotwifing, cuckolding, stag-and-vixen play – and an entire porn genre dedicated to it. Cis, female, 33, poly, bi. I bruise easily, am into BDSM and love to swim in my condo’s shared pool, where there are many seniors. Any advice for hiding bruises or getting over the embarrassment? Don’t assume the senior citizens in the pool are as naive and/or easily shocked as our ageist assumptions would prompt us to believe. Someone who became a senior citizen today – who just turned 65 years old – was 35 in 1988. I happen to know for a fact that people were doing BDSM way, way back in 1988. My husband is a sweet guy who is very good to me. But he is also a gun-toting rightwing conservative, and these days that feels like an insurmountable difference. We have been together for seven years and married for two. No kids yet. I love him – and the thought of leaving him is terrifying – but I honestly don’t know if this is going to work. If you’re afraid to leave him because of those guns, you need to get out. If you’re 58

afraid to leave him because you love him and couldn’t live without him, you might be able to stay. I wouldn’t be able to stay, personally, but you might. Maybe if you make “no political discussions about anything, ever” a condition of remaining in the marriage. When you are entering into something new, how do you differentiate between infatuation and real feelings? Infatuation is a real feeling. Only time will tell if other real but more lasting feelings – like, like like, love, lasting love – will surface when those feelings of infatuation inevitably fade. I can easily have an orgasm with toys but I can’t have one with my boyfriend. What gives? Your boyfriend could give you orgasms if you handed him one of those toys, showed him how you use it on yourself and then guided his hands the first few times he used it on you. Why does my girlfriend enjoy anal sex more than I thought she would? Because she does. Because anal is hot. Because the clit is a great big organ and most of it’s inside the body and anal penetration may stimulate the backside of your girlfriend’s great big clitoris in a way that’s new and different and highly pleasurable and – hey, wait a minute. You aren’t disappointed she’s enjoying anal more than you thought she would, are you? Donald Trump has been impeached, and you get to decide the punishment. So what sex toy gets used on him and who gets to use it? Trump doesn’t deserve a sex toy. Sex toys are for good boys and girls. All Trump deserves is a lump of the coal he loves so much shoved far enough up his ass to serve as a gag. Is there EVER a healthy way to partake in sensual parties while in a monogamous marriage? Yup. The Dirty Sanchez – actually a thing? Nope. I’m married and finishing my Ph.D. while working full time. As a result, I don’t get to spend as much time as I would like with my wonderful husband. I know you’re a workaholic as well. How do you manage to make your husband feel he is getting the attention/time he deserves?

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● APRIL 4-10, 2018 ● orlandoweekly.com

When I’m totally stressed out and working on several projects, and I don’t have the bandwidth to give my husband the attention/time he deserves, I take a moment now and then to reassure him that things will settle down soon and we’ll have more time together. I’ve found he’s most receptive to this message when it’s delivered immediately after I’ve taken a few minutes to blow him. Do you recommend specific prostate massage toys? Besides dick.

Looking for a new furry friend? Meet Cookie!

Forearm. How do you approach people about a three-way without ruining friendships? I think close sexy friends and the-sex-wasgreat-but-everything-else-sucked exes make the best “very special guest stars.” But if you’re worried about ruining friendships, well, don’t hit on friends. Hit on strangers. (And remember: A stranger is just a friend you haven’t had a three-way with yet. Or something.) Do you think it’s unwise to give and/or receive gay oral sex without a condom? When we speak of gay oral without a condom – which is almost all of the gay oral out there – we speak of ones that sucked not wisely but too well. Are anxiety-induced orgasms a thing? They must be, because I have them. I’m glad there’s at least one person out there who’s managing to enjoy the Trump era. I’m a 21-year-old, queer, poly, cis girl who recently got into this whole thing with a co-worker at my shitty fast-food job. Long story short, we were having a rad time fucking around in the freezer … until he bashed International Women’s Day on Facebook. I stopped getting him off by the frozen meat without an explanation, and I quit my job to go bind books instead. Is it too late to reach out and tell this dude that I dumped him because of his misogynistic online life? And how bitchy can I be? The world would be a better place if (1) women refused to sleep with right-wing assholes (to say nothing of marrying them) and (2) women told right-wing assholes that right-wing assholery is the ultimate cock-block and they have only themselves to blame for it. So it’s not too late, and you should be as bitchy as you can be. On the Lovecast, how to pack your dildo … politely: savagelovecast.com. mail@savagelove.net ITMFA.org
