Cake haters There’s a big difference between being refused to be served because of who you are and being refused to be served because you want someone else to write something hateful on a cake (“Former televangelist sics angry followers on local bakery to make a point about religious freedom,” orlandoweekly.com, April 3). The man who called the bakery has a lot of things that are central to his being that demand respect: his gender, his race/ ethnicity, his religion, his sexual orientation. But the fact that he wanted something hateful written on a cake isn’t who he is. If someone asked a Christian baker to write something hateful against Christians, I’d be very much against that too. But that’s not what happened here and that’s not what the larger conversation is about. The LGBTQ community isn’t asking anyone to write anything hateful on cakes. They are asking for equality, they are asking to be treated like human beings. They are asking to be able to live fully exactly as they were born and as they choose.

Joshua Feuerstein’s embodiment of hate and bullying is the direct opposite of what a Christian is supposed to be. If you think you are a Christian and support him, you support hate. And if you are about hate and retribution then, um, you’re not a Christian because you aren’t following his principles. Nowthatithinkofit, via orlandoweekly.com

“But in the end, the continued view of gays, lesbians and bisexuals as sinners is a decision. It’s a choice. It prioritizes scattered passages of ancient texts over all that has been learned since – as if time had stood still, as if the advances of science and knowledge meant nothing. It disregards the degree to which all writings reflect the biases and blind spots of their authors, cultures and eras. It ignores the extent to which interpretation is subjective, debatable. And it elevates unthinking obeisance above intelligent observance, above the evidence in front of you, because to look honestly at gay, lesbian and bisexual people is to see that we’re the same magnificent riddles as everyone else: no more or less flawed, no more or less dignified.” – Frank Bruni in the New York Times for office in Sanford?), but not without us getting a clear view of Brodeur’s inner Patrick Bateman slipping its mouth-foot out of the Over the past two months, while closet first. some of us were busy smearing our new gay “I think we know at the federal level that weddings with fabulous cake (OK, this writer we have protected classes that receive restrictwas), something pernicious and unnecessary ed scrutiny,” he told the House Judiciary was being pushed through Committee on April 2. “If we the Florida Legislature – or talk about religion, nationat least the House, because al origin, race or disability, the Senate seems to know those already receive restrictbetter.

discrimination. Also, conservatives, it’s not like everyone isn’t currently bearing witness to your orchestrated homophobic backlash. “Knowing these people [who run the Christian adoption agencies], and knowing that they believe in the sanctity of marriage, of one man and one woman, they will be, I believe, one day, faced with a choice: Either shut down … or get the heck out of the business, or do something that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs,” State Rep. Scott Plakon told political website Saint Petersblog last week. “I know these people. They will not be able to continue.” And yet “these people” receive special status in taxation and licensing. Oh, the persecution. But what really gets us down is that this kind of legislation inspires homophobia outright. Last month, WFTV-9 News reports, a 32-year-old gay man was jumped by idiot teens in Parramore. Way to send a message! Florida’s current bill applies only to adoption agencies, but it could be just the start of the revenge legislation the state is piling upon its dockets for the coming years. The fear is that this particular bill might be attached to an omnibus adoption bill that is meant to remove the gay adoption ban (already struck down by the courts) and a legislative tennis match on language will result in the bill landing back in
the House ultimately, and the governor signing it. “If this bill passes, does it mean that statefunded adoption agencies will have signs that say ‘Gays, lesbians and Jews need not apply’?” Equality Florida public policy specialist Carlos Smith asks. “And Jason Brodeur should be ashamed of himself.”

Across the Sea
HHHHH
d
amla and Kevin are New York newlyweds expecting a baby she doesn’t seem to want. Hoping to better understand his wife’s upbringing in Turkey, Kevin proposes a trip to the Aegean Sea resort where Damla spent her childhood summers. What he doesn’t anticipate are the ghosts of an old relationship, which may doom their future. Across the Sea, an unrelentingly depressing, though well-acted, drama in both Turkish and English, is a story of painful regret. It’s filled with moody, music-filled, handheld shots of contemplative characters walking the beach or strolling city streets – and almost nothing else, at least until the final emotional minutes. Directors Nisan Dag and Esra Saydam try to overwhelm us with atmospheric longing and thereby create a movie that is greater than the sum of its parts. Perhaps they want to bathe us in the light of lost love and conjure up an image of Jay Gatsby, transfixed by the metaphorical light at the end of Daisy’s dock. But the only light here is the green one that this film should not have gotten. – Cameron Meier Screenings: 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, at Regal Winter Park Village and 6:45 p.m. Saturday, April 18, at Enzian Theater
Aspie Seeks Love
HHHHH
d
avid Matthews is 46 years old, lives outside Pittsburgh, is perpetually single despite his mildly successful writing career, and, oh, he has Asperger’s. If that last tidbit sounds like a casual add-on, it sort of is, as he wasn’t diagnosed with the highly functioning form of autism until he was 41, despite years of social awkwardness and odd behavior that included posting flyers on trees and buildings advertising his interest in dating women. “I really do want to share my creative output with the world,” he says, “but, on the other hand, I feel self-conscious about presenting myself.” Those feelings are normal for David and others who suffer from the same neurological condition, but instead of presenting a figure isolated from the world, Aspie Seeks Love, an ambitious, multi-year documentary project from director Julie Sokolow, reminds us that we’re all quirky and unbalanced in our own unique way. Shot amateurishly and too reliant on the everyday events and chatter of David’s life, Aspie is still a sweet and startlingly intimate examination of one man’s quest for
companionship and acceptance. The doc struggles to find a style to fit the quirkiness of its subject – Crumb it is not – but it ultimately succeeds by honestly embracing its odd humanity. – CM Screenings: 7 p.m. Sunday, April 12, at Regal Winter Park Village and 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 15, at Regal Winter Park Village
Billy Mize and the Bakersfield Sound
HHHHH
I
f you’ve ever tapped your toes to a Buck Owens tune, you can blame Billy Mize for the wear in your soles. Credited as a founder of what became known and widely embraced as the Bakersfield Sound, Mize became a huge personality and influential performer in country music (like the country music equivalent to Carson Daly, if anyone still paid attention to music television) from the ’50s to the ’80s. In Billy Mize and the Bakersfield Sound, you are teleported through the stages of his career (and flashy fitted suits that made even Elvis swoon) and the personal tragedies that become a focal point of the documentary: Is there anything more authentic than a down-on-his-luck country singer? Mize’s career came to a halt in the ’90s following a stroke that rendered Mize mute for years. The film intersperses old clips from hit shows like Town Hall Party (California’s Grand Ole Opry), interviews with massive stars like Merle Haggard (who owes his first time onstage and his first time on television to Mize, both of which you get to see in the doc) and an emotional account of Mize’s continual struggle with painful, earth-shaking life events. It’s a story country music fans should hear. At times the film drags, but with a glimpse into the Crystal Palace and a heartfelt underdog angle, it’s a nice video collage of an exciting scene in a “little podunk town in the Valley” that launched charttopping smash hits. – Ashley Belanger
score to deliver chills. Growing weary of their pot smoking, three 20-something valley-girl types are seeking fun on Christmas Eve. Their quest leads them to a deserted mansion that two of the women believe is the abode of the third woman’s wealthy uncle. When they learn the truth, it’s too late, and predictable trouble ensues, leading to, of course, bloodshed and infighting. To successfully use the “innocent everyman in trouble” formula that the master of suspense perfected, the innocents in question must be, well, innocent. Even more importantly, they must be somewhat likeable and in a predicament that seems plausible. But after a healthy dose of unbelievability, a fairly large plot hole and such classic Hitchcock lines as “This place is fucking sick” and “Christmas is fucking awesome,” it matters little that first-time writer-directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen actually have some interesting things to say about morality and decision-making in a time of crisis. “What was it like, him dying? Was it fast?” one girl ponders. “Yeah, it just sort of happened,” another responds. If only the death of this film could have been as quick. – CM
don’t already know LeRoy’s weird tale, that’s the only spoiler you’ll get here. Directed by Marjorie Sturm, The Cult of JT LeRoy doesn’t break much new journalistic ground – credit the New York Times with that – but it does present LeRoy’s life in a unique, revelatory way, complete with original interviews and an appropriately uncomfortable examination of the pretentious bullshit that accompanies fandom and fame. Once Sturm reveals the twist behind the “extraordinary found object” that is LeRoy, the documentary loses steam, as does a narrative fiction piece that has just lost its protagonist. But then it carefully navigates those difficult storytelling waters, managing to switch audience sympathies – or hatred – onto another player who is accurately described as “one of the craziest motherfuckers ever.” It’s just too bad this worthwhile feature is preceded by Everything That Smiles Back, a rambling, pointless, badly shot short doc about an eccentric trailer-park resident. I guess just about everything is film fodder these days. – CM

When the actors in the latest film he’s editing begin to turn up dead with their fingers cut off, all signs point to Rey. But there’s something darker at the heart of this mystery, one that will send Rey and the investigator on his tail into the deep abyss of irreverence, bad lip-synching, neon lighting and blaring synth scores. Even if you aren’t familiar with giallos, The Editor has plenty to offer. It’s also the most quotable film you’ll see at the festival, so don’t be surprised if afterward at Eden Bar you hear people explaining how “a good man holds a beer.” – Patrick Cooper Screenings: 11:59 p.m., April 11, at Regal Winter Park Village and 11:59 p.m., April 17, at Enzian Theater

a
ll too often in film, mental illness is treated like an adorable quirk – something hunky eccentrics have to deal with (see 2013 Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook). Very rarely is it depicted as the debilitating condition it actually is, the motherfucker that breaks families apart and leaves its victims in cuffs or drugged to high hell. Lou Howe’s debut, Gabriel, takes its titular protagonist Gabriel (Rory Culkin) and his condition very seriously, but the script is so painfully flat and lacking in emotional
resonance that by the end of Gabriel’s slim running time, who the hell cares. This is a movie about a psychopathic kid acting psycho and his desire to rope in his one true love who wants nothing to do with him. On paper it sounds awesome, but watching it play out is agonizing. Culkin does his best with what’s on the page, but there’s zero connection between his character, his family and his love. It’s like watching a patchwork ensemble cast shade for 90 minutes. – PC Screenings: 9:30 p.m. Saturday, April 11, at Enzian Theater and 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16, at Regal Winter Park Village
best work, perhaps because it needed a director with more of a British sensibility to match that of writer Julian Fellowes (of Downton Abbey fame). Veteran character actor Bob Balaban co-produced Gosford Park and also plays, appropriately, American film producer Morris Weissman, so it’s no surprise he chose the film for his April 12 “Evening With” event, at which he will participate in a Q&A. (But if you’re like me, you’ll want to ask the legendary character actor about his roles in Seinfeld and Close Encounters of the Third Kind – and why he never seems to age.) – CM

o director dealt with multiple stars and storylines like Robert Altman. His skill at juggling and ultimately merging myriad plots and characters into a single, emotionally profound experience is legendary. From his masterpiece, Nashville, to classics such as Short Cuts, The Player and M.A.S.H., down to underappreciated gems like Popeye and A Prairie Home Companion, Altman left an indelible mark on cinema. Regrettably, Gosford Park is not among the master’s top-tier work. For most other directors, that would mean a thumbsdown review, but not for Altman, as the 2001 British mystery starring everyone from Maggie Smith to Clive Owen to Helen Mirren has energy, charm and intelligence. It just doesn’t crackle quite like Altman’s

his movie, made by husband-and-wife team Clay and Tif Hassler, is a distressingly depressing piece about a teenager named Gosh who travels to North Carolina after the death of his grandmother. With no resources and no family to help him (his father is in prison), he ends up living in a homeless shelter, searches for work and tries to figure out who he can trust. This movie was shot in a homeless shelter and correctional facility in WinstonSalem, and among the actors are actual staff members and residents of the shelter. This gives the film an epic heaping of realism that makes it feel super bleak, uncomfortable and unfair. However, it also makes those moments when the movie tries to tell a story or hint at the motivations of its characters feel too forced and empty, making it tough to empathize (in more than in a detached way) with Gosh as he tries to navigate his cold, unwelcoming world. – Erin Sullivan Screenings: 6:30 p.m., Monday, April 13, at Regal Winter Park Village and 4 p.m., Wednesday, April 15, at Enzian Theater

hat is this monstrous mound of lowbudget primitive absurdism called I Am a Knife With Legs? It’s part-animated, part-musical, part – wait, what is this thing with letters and numbers I’m typing on? It’s not really a typewriter and it’s not really a keyboard. It’s weird. I digress. So, “I’m a knife with legs and special pants and a cat with a bag of eggs,” pop superstar Bené (writer-director-musician Bennett Jones) sings to us amid halfheart-
ed jump cuts, dream sequences, music videos and intentionally bad mixes of looping and live sound. He’s struggling to get over the death of his girlfriend Baguette at the hands of a suicide bomber while dodging a random fatwa. Yet he still finds time to croon such classics as “Changes Make Things Different,” “Sexy Love” and “All Religion Is Stupid, Especially Yours.” Accompanying Bené is his “manager/ security/DJ/foil character/drinking buddy” Beefy (Will Crest) who, in a metaphor for the film, asks his abhole-shirt-wearing, Tommy Wiseau-acting friend, “Where are we going with this?” The answer: absolutely nowhere. Yet if you love folk-art cinema, long for an even-lower-budget Borat or have recently been beaten severely about the head and face with a custardfilled éclair while watching Harrison Ford fend off a bear and converse with a tiny Frankenstein’s monster, see this movie.

I Am Thor
HHHHH
o
ne thing the Florida Film Festival is unfailingly good for: introducing audiences to oddball has-been types like Jon Mikl Thor, a bodybuilder/actor/metal musician who fronted the band Thor beginning in the 1970s. The movie recounts Thor’s early days working as a buff blond sex symbol who let women give him blowjobs on stage, follows him through the highlights and low points of his music career (the band tours, finds itself on the cover of metal fanzines, then eventually goes down the tubes and disappears), and eventually morphs into a movie star. But the fame is fleeting, and Thor (the man, not the band) recounts how he burned out: The stress gets to him, he has a nervous breakdown, and he tries to commit suicide. After recovering, he gets out of the business and tries to become normal, but a decade later, he decides to revive his music career. These days, the band Thor is back together, touring and trying to recapture some of the notoriety they used to enjoy. The film follows the band as they travel to shows and cons, playing as mostly a novelty act. They dress in elaborate getups and practice ridiculous stage moves in which the aged Thor conquers monsters while the metal band plays in the background. Diehard fans eat it up. It’s equal parts hilarious and depressing. If you remember Thor from when the band played CONTINUED ON PaGe 13

I’ve simply never seen a better documentary about same-sex marriage. Preceding Limited Partnership is the short doc Sandorkraut, about revered food author and fermentation expert Sandor Katz.

Directed competently by first-timer Bret Fetzer, divided into nine chapters and performed entirely by Smith, the movie meditates on such typical adolescent activities as disrupting Mass, smoking, shoplifting, hocking loogies at nuns, discovering stashes of nudie magazines, stealing money from the collection plate, sticking your dick through knotholes, burning said dick with a lit cigarette, street fighting and “queer-bashing.” Ah, boyhood. I wish I could say that my disappointment with this movie stems from my desire to see it live instead of on film, but, regrettably, it’s the material I found tedious. Though Smith is likeable and weaves amusing yarns that those who grew up Catholic might enjoy, he’s essentially a poor (and crude) man’s Garrison Keillor, offering us little meaningful nostalgia, little magic and little wisdom to accompany his endless tales of amateur depravity. – CM Screenings: 9 p.m. Monday, April 13, at Regal Winter Park Village and 1:30 p.m. Friday, April 17, at Enzian Theater
My Life in China
HHHHH
C
inema is overflowing with immigrant stories. Indeed, those famous words by Emma Lazarus inviting the world’s tired, poor, huddled masses to America practically read like a movie premise. Joining the genre is My Life in China, a documentary by Kenneth Eng about his father’s defection to the United States in 1966 and their recent return to the family’s native village. But instead of reinforcing the idea of the American Dream, this Cantonese film turns that dream upside down, instead seeking an addendum to Lazarus’ poem: profound regret. “If I could choose all over again, I would choose to stay in China – better than in America,” Eng’s father says. “Because nowadays, when I’m in China, there’s freedom to make money. Nobody tries to stop you. … [But back then] I needed to find a way to help my family.” Despite a strong ending, genuine moments of emotional discovery and eye-opening truths about the changing conditions in China and the United States, Eng’s film, at just 53 minutes, feels underdeveloped and only a step or two above an impromptu handheld-camera travelogue. When combined with the 28-minute Vietnamese documentary War Within the Walls, about a group of disabled children
living with the effects of Agent Orange, My Life in China could be a worthwhile watch. But judged as a stand-alone feature, it comes up just short. – CM Screenings: 4:15 p.m. Saturday, April 11, at Enzian Theater and 1:30 p.m. Friday, April 17, at Regal Winter Park Village
Once Upon a Crime: The Borrelli-Davis Conspiracy
HHHHH
“s
even years ago, I set out to tell a story involving crooked cops, a mafia godfather, murder, poisonings, Elvis Presley, prison gang leaders and a coke-addicted newspaper editor,” writerdirector Sheldon Wilson tells us. “Who would have thought that that was just the beginning of the story?” OK, so Wilson’s documentary, Once Upon a Crime: The Borrelli-Davis Conspiracy, has virtually nothing to do with Elvis, cocaine or poison, but the facts of the real story are actually more fascinating. Retired New York policeman Mike Borelli and his friend and former cop Bob Davis were falsely accused in 1975 of the murder of a man Borelli worked with. It mattered little that there was no evidence tying them to the crime; they weren’t in the city at the time and Davis didn’t even know the victim. The police simply wanted a conviction. Wilson doesn’t exactly uncover a unique smoking gun to explain the case these 40 years later, but through emotional interviews with most of the participants, non-obtrusive re-enactments and a careful presentation of the facts, he forges an intriguing marriage of solid journalism and thrilling entertainment that’s on par with some of Errol Morris’ best work. Playing before the feature is the documentary short Mr. Gold (2 stars), which won’t mean much to non-locals but will grab the interest of Orlando residents who have seen the unique sign holder tipping his hat and waving to passersby on Colonial Drive. – CM Screenings: 9:30 p.m. Saturday, April 11, at Regal Winter Park Village and 3:45 p.m. Friday, April 17, at Regal Winter Park Village

that. But when said film is also lacking in emotional impact, implausibly plotted, badly paced and student-filmy, you’ve got a problem. Writer-director Thom Southerland’s black-and-white drama, which is getting its Southeast premiere at the festival, focuses like a laser on amateur playwright Krasimira Stanimirova (co-writer Katerina Stoykova-Klemer), who travels to Lexington, Kentucky, from her home in Bulgaria after winning second place in an international writing contest, to see her play performed. But when she gets there, she finds that the community theater troupe has little time for her. “I didn’t know traveling would be so lonely,” she says to herself in Bulgarian-language voiceover. “I keep waiting for people to appear and yell ‘surprise’ at me, or at least ‘Welcome to Kentucky, genius playwright.’” She wanders the streets, tours horse farms and befriends a single mom who invites her into her home and, preposterously, gives her complete control over her young child while she spends the night with an old boyfriend. Thanks to a promising premise and an interesting autobiographical, even extemporaneous, feel, Proud Citizen has its heart in the right place as it tries to offer unique commentaries on unmet expectations and cultural differences. But like Krasimira’s American Dream, the film never quite congeals. – CM Sceenings: 5:15 p.m. Saturday, April 11, at Regal Winter Park Village and 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, April 15, at Enzian Theater
The Search for General Tso
HHHHH
B
e sure you eat before seeing this film, because the stickysweet, citrus-pungent, crunchy-fried, orange-and-green indulgence known as General Tso’s chicken is on screen making your mouth water for at least three-quarters of The Search for General Tso’s 71 minutes. Where did this delicious American-Chinese hybrid come from? The filmmakers stand on an American street asking passers-by about the dish; every one knows it, but no one’s heard of General Tso (though they’re happy to advance imaginative theories regarding his person). They repeat the exercise on
a street in Shanghai, and everyone’s familiar with the general – a wellknown historical Chinese figure – but no one recognizes the dish. (Again with the theories: One woman pokes at the picture and says, “It doesn’t look like chicken. It looks like frog.”) And there you have it: What we think of in America as “Chinese food” is in fact not Chinese in the least, aside from being cooked for us by Chinese people. We aren’t eating Shanghaistyle frog; we’re eating dishes created specifically for American palates with American ingredients, presented in a theatrically pleasing “ethnic” fashion. In The Search for General Tso, Ian Cheney and Jennifer 8. Lee trace the history of Chinese immigration to America, the few jobs that were open to the Chinese after the breathtakingly racist Exclusion Act of 1882 was passed, and the device by which regional Chinese associations assiduously disseminated the model of the American Chinese restaurant. Maybe you’ve never wondered why a Chinese restaurant in the middle of Boondock, Utah, has the same name, the same decor, the same scrolly script on a menu offering the same dishes as a Chinese restaurant in Sticksville, Massachusetts, but Cheney and Lee did. And they’ve not only answered that question, but used it as a tidy metonym for racial discrimination and patterns of integration. “I don’t think that General Tso’s chicken is the most popular ethnic dish in the country,” says restaurateur Ed Schoenfeld at the beginning of the film, “only because there’s pizza.” The history of Italian immigration to America parallels that of the Chinese in some ways, as does the history of “Italian” restaurants in America. The fact that this culinary strategy for assimilation seems to be shared by all émigrés proves on a larger stage the adage that the best way to someone’s heart is through the stomach. – Jessica Bryce Young
Smut
Short takes: Some highlights and lowlightS from this year’s short film selections t
he shorts are often the most rewarding watches, and this year’s festival is packed with 120 of them. While you probably shouldn’t choose a program based on a review of just one film in that block, I nevertheless present some brief critiques – from worst to best – of the shorts I’ve seen. In Haze (HHHHH, part of Shorts Program #4), a young man tries to find out what really happened during a one-night stand. When he discovers the truth, it sure would be nice if he’d fill us in, because without that information, this technically well-made drama seems pointless, except to posit a vague idea about the perception of date rape.
Smut (HHHHH, part of Shorts Program #1), a quirky coming-of-age tale, has its comedic sensibilities in the right place but seems a tad too familiar and rough around the edges to make much of an impact. A North Korean general is torn between his obedience to his country’s oppressive regime and his daughter’s desire to attend music school in the United States in The Loyalist (HHHHH, part of Shorts Program #3), an emotionally charged, politically tinged melodrama.
HHHHH
At 23 minutes, the documentary Unmappable (HHHHH, part of the 8X Very, Very Real Doc Shorts Showcase) feels too short, but, through stylistic glimpses into both the actions and psyche of its unique subject, it nevertheless paints a memorable portrait of Denis Wood, who, for good and bad, doesn’t see the world the way most of us do. Raised by an anarchist father and believing that “laws are horrible things, by and large,” Wood doesn’t draw inside the lines. That applies both to his maps, which blur the distinction between cartography and art, and his personal indiscretions, which led to his incarceration for having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy.
rom the very beginning you know where this is going. An artist colony in New Delhi, India – one that features some of the more remarkable, sometimes utilitarian,
A uniquely touching drama about the role animals play in psychotherapy, Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre’s Rabbit (HHHHH, part of Shorts Program #3) also serves as a darkly smart commentary on the similarities between animal and human captivity. It’s one of the must-sees of the festival. – Cameron Meier

hired personalities that bend over backwards to pick up sticks or don comic masks for parties or work the strings of a marionette in order to make events seem otherworldly – is under attack, because the land that they live on in the Kathputli Colony is purchased for development. It’s an odd take on gentrification (usually these stories don’t involve the amount of methodical whimsy shown by the artists in this film), but it’s familiar in its futility. Typical documentary gazes aside, Tomorrow We Disappear brings an artistic flair to its storytelling, and also the pain and grimaces of a generation and a culture being pressed out of its history. The personalities here are magical – as are some of their acts – but the frustration and fear is likewise palpable, which makes for some occasionally saddening asides, especially when it comes to bringing up another generation. The so-called “tinsel slum” will never be the same, but it’s definitely worth the 85 minutes to watch its heart beat. “Are we artists,” one of the subjects of the doc asks, “or are we poor people? We have no idea.” – Billy Manes Screenings: 11:45 a.m. Sunday, April 12, at Enzian Theater and 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 15, at Regal Winter Park Village

romantic feelings are met with constant frustrations, his uncle’s life is unwinding as the police and a local good ol’ boy cast shade on him. The parallel stories both involve characters trying their best to keep primal feelings at bay, but every time the film cuts to Ben, all the wonderful tension built up with John is lost. His relationship with his boss is not nearly as interesting as what’s going on in the country. Fortunately, once the two stories converge, Piet ratchets up the anxiety to nearly unbearable levels. Ashton delivers a remarkably expressive performance and the alwaysgreat Ronnie Gene Blevins (Joe) brings an unnerving menace to every frame. The seesawing between nerve-wracking crime drama and romance just doesn’t always work. – PC Screenings: 6:15 p.m. Sunday, April 12, at Regal Winter Park Village and 4 p.m. Friday, April 17, at Enzian Theater

they’re also heavily armed with itchy trigger fingers. Filmmakers Michael Beach Nichols and Christopher Walker have crafted a gripping documentary that isn’t interested in exploring First Amendment legal rights. We’re clearly rooting against Cobb and all of the film’s tension is drawn from wondering what idiotic thing he’ll do or say next. The one downside is that Welcome to Leith ends on a very anticlimactic note. It’s obvious Nichols and Walker should’ve pursued the story further, but what they do present is both horrific and humorous. – PC Screenings: 2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 11, at Regal Winter Park Village and 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, at Enzian Theater

hen 14-year-old Mackenzie’s mom goes into rehab, she’s sent from Seattle to Juneau, Alaska, to stay with her uncle for the summer. What seems at first like a sullen teen/ eager-to-please adult scenario soon morphs into a situation surely worse than whatever was happening when she lived with her mom. As the creepily unnamed “Uncle,” Brian Geraghty (the priggish co-pilot in Flight; the by-the-book bomb special20
ist in The Hurt Locker) ably builds on his repertoire of straitlaced guys who come unhinged. Newcomer Ella Purnell, as Mackenzie, doesn’t act so much as point her Clara Bow face at people and things, but the Alaskan wilderness in which much of the film is set is as heartbreakingly gorgeous as her mug, so it’s a good match. Bruce Greenwood, the reluctant father figure she turns to when she runs away from Uncle, could do this role in his sleep, but luckily, he doesn’t – he is fully present in each scene, his intense focus sometimes filling in for Purnell’s lack of articulacy. That deficit can’t be blamed completely on her; she may not yet have the screen presence of her more seasoned co-stars, but she’s given very little coherent dialogue, reduced to sucking on her hoodie sleeve to demonstrate her agitation. Rounding out the cast, the marvelous Ann Dowd (The Leftovers) is underutilized but magical in her brief on-screen time. Cinematographer Hillary Spera renders the landscapes and the actor’s faces with equally lucid beauty, and composers Daniel Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans provide a haunting underpinning. Any flaws in this, writer-producer-director Frank Hall Green’s debut feature, are wiped away by the intermittent moments of loveliness Wildlike strings together. – JBY Screenings: 1:30 p.m. Saturday, April 11, at Enzian Theater and 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, at Regal Winter Park Village

ocal filmmaker, writer and educator Wilson Santos should not be here. He wriggled through the net that ensnares many children living in environments plagued by poverty. His parents, immigrants from the Dominican Republic, moved to a rough area in the Bronx. “We grew up on welfare,” Santos says. “My mother raised eight children in a small three-bedroom, roach-infested apartment.” His family later moved to Paterson, New Jersey, where he attended Eastside High School, famed for its hard-nosed principal Joe Clark, the inspiration for the movie Lean on Me. Despite Mr. Clark’s interventions, Santos’ schooling was violent and educationally unproductive. He and his friends suffered constant beatings by school gangs. In response, Santos organized his own gang, which served to protect them but also drag them further into the net. “The majority of the guys from that gang were either deported, put in jail or dead,” says Santos. “A few of us were able to get out, and I’m one of the few lucky ones.” After high school, Santos wandered from Paterson and discovered a different world in New York City – one of writing, art and film. He sought education, earned a master’s degree in English, and became an English instructor, even teaching back in Paterson to children in the same gang he started years before. “I know poverty,” he says. “And I know the importance of education as a catalyst to get oneself out of poverty.” This philosophy has been his driving force in his film work. His short film My Verse, an official selection in the 2015 Florida Film Festival’s Florida Shorts program (screening 2:15 p.m., Sunday, April 19 at Enzian Theater), exposes the brutal reality of children dealing with neglect, violence and poverty worldwide. “I have long been concerned with the suffering of the disenfranchised of the world,” says Santos. “Especially the most innocent of those who suffer – the children. I felt it was my job to give a voice to the voiceless.” Melding black-and-white shots of Santos performing his titular poem with found footage of horrific global living conditions, the film explores the plight of impoverished children, the greed that spawns it and the uphill battle to eliminate it. Santos names the children in the film, humanizes them and then juxtaposes them against symbols of excess or indifference. Homeless 12-year-old Eduardiño sells drugs in the Brazilian favelas while “the Swedish tourist shivers.” Malai, a 10-year-old Bangkok prostitute, is rented to “fat-bellied, gray-haired Americans.” Dharani, a 9-year-old scavenger in Calcutta, wades “knee deep in middle class trash.” But the film’s message is not just preaching from the pulpit. My Verse reflects Santos’ inner struggle with his own complacency in the face of suffering. “I write it down/right here/not for myself/but to myself/because all I do is write/and all you do is listen.” Santos challenges the viewer and himself to act beyond writing and listening. And act he does. Santos’ latest goal “is to focus on literacy for the poorest of the poor and collect enough funds to buy these children the school supplies they desperately need.“ Inspired by his aunt’s 35 years of charitable work in the Dominican Republic, his newest film project shows that nation’s poverty and desperation for educational supplies. Viewable on his website, wsantosblog.com, the film links to a fundraising site, which raised enough money this March to send 12 boxes of donated clothes and books. “Today I write my verse/not because I want to/but because I have to,” intones Santos in the opening lines of My Verse. His film invokes the passion and candor of a victim turned champion and of an artist compelled to act. – Vincent Crampton feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Sad news came late last month as the Maitland academy of Performing arts ended operations on March 18. Formerly known as Starving Artists Studios, MAPA was founded in 2011 by Tim Evanicki, providing acting, dance and music lessons to area students. But their recent relocation to a 22,000-square-foot space in Altamonte Springs ran aground; their farewell letter stated, “The associated loss of students since the move ha[s] proven to be too much of a financial hardship.” MAPA is searching for a new home and will refund prepaid tuition fees; call 407-370-4909 for more information. The Dr. Phillips Center’s education program – rechristened the Dr. Phillips center Florida Hospital school of arts & Wellness – has released the schedule for its first summer of intensive seminars in dance, jazz music, vocal performance, musical theater and even magic. There’s a Broadway seminar for adults, but otherwise the sessions are for kids between 7 and 19. Classes run June 16 through Aug. 7, and registration is $275-$425 per week before May 15; visit drphillipscenter.org/artseducation for more. gen y Productions and director Kenny Howard hold auditions at the Mezz April 7-8 for Annie Baker’s play The Flick, to be performed in June and July at the Dr. Phillips Center’s Pugh Theater. The show, which is set in a decaying movie theater, will be one of the first locally produced plays presented in the new arts center.

T
he University of Central Florida, like most large universities today, is firmly committed to propelling its students’ success in the STEM fields: science, technology, engineering and math. But what of its vital arts department? Are the arts being phased out – in fact, should they be – merely because they don’t offer an easily quantifiable career path? Proponents of STEAM, an initiative that seeks to integrate the arts into STEM programs, say no. Inserting arts into the STEM mix affords students the ability to think creatively, helping to drive innovation in those tech and engineering endeavors. Count UCF among STEAM supporters, as evidenced by the centerpiece of their upcoming UCF Celebrates the Arts festival. Among the visual art, writing workshops, dance, theater and musical performances filling the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts April 10-15, one of the most exciting events is the multimedia program Icarus at the Edge of Time, and it’s a co-presentation of the arts and science
departments. So what does an art film based on a children’s book, accompanied by a live orchestral score, have to do with science? In Icarus at the Edge of Time, everything. String-theory physicist Brian Greene’s book recasts the myth of Icarus as the story of a young boy, a space traveler, exploring a black hole against his father’s wishes. The screenplay was adapted by playwright David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) and filmed by AL + AL, the British duo of Al Taylor and Al Holmes, known for their surrealistic, CGI-infused art films. The book Icarus owes its dreamlike power to its illustrations: images beamed back from deep space by the Hubble Space Telescope. The live presentation possesses the same power, but expands the cosmological tale with flights into the visual and aural (Philip Glass’ mesmerizing score and the live narration, here to be performed by Kate Mulgrew, beloved of science-y types for her role as Star Trek: Voyager’s Capt. Janeway). Speaking to local composer Charlie Griffin on his WPRK show, Zero Crossings, Jeff Moore, director of the UCF School of Performing Arts and artistic director of the festival, said that plans for UCF Celebrates the Arts have been in the works since before the Dr. Phillips Center was completed. UCF’s $15 million donation entitled them to a few nights in the center, and the decision orlandoweekly.com

was made to string them together rather than space them out. When a UCF physics professor approached Moore and the dean of his department to tell them that the National Science Foundation had given them a grant to present Icarus, everything fell into place. “I think a lot of people think of University of Central Florida maybe as engineering or STEM, and of course it is that. But there’s incredibly vibrant and large arts units on the campus as well. This gave us a world-class platform to show off and really demonstrate the depth and breadth we have in the arts units at the university,” says Moore. So it seems the marriage of arts and STEM at UCF is a harmonious one. And how fittingly named the STEAM initiative is – the image it summons of a wisp of vapor, while poetically diaphanous, is also an elegant symbol of the laws of thermodynamics.

Dennis Giacino and Fiely Matias, creators of Disenchanted!, show how far Orlando Fringe fame can take you There’s just over a month left before the 2015 Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival, with this coming Monday’s local artist preview kicking off the final pre-fest countdown. For many area performers, the point of producing a show at the Fringe is to have fun with friends and hopefully make a few more bucks on tickets than they spend in the beer tent (fat chance). Others dream of selling out their seven or so shows, earning a Patron’s Pick award, and perhaps extending their run on a nearby stage. But the truly ambitious should be looking at Dennis Giacino and Fiely Matias, creators of the current off-Broadway hit Disenchanted!, for proof of how far Fringe fame can take you: from Florida to Missouri to Manhattan, and all the way to … a floor in New Jersey. I’ll admit up front that when Disenchanted (originally subtitled “Bitches of the Kingdom”) debuted at the 2011 Orlando Fringe, I was not among the first to jump on the princess parody’s bandwagon, unlike OW critic Steve Schneider, who presciently declared it the “standard-bearer of the Orlando Fringe, now and maybe forever after.” While I loved Giacino’s wickedly witty songs, Matias’ deftly delirious direction and especially the show-stopping performances by Michelle Knight’s Snow White and Lulu Picart’s Mulan, I wanted more meat to connect the stand-alone songs. Since then, the show has been workshopped numerous times in Orlando and across the country, with each new script
revision sharpening the satire and adding complexity to the characters. As a supporter of Orlando exporting its artistic talent, it’s been immensely gratifying seeing Disenchanted’s growth over the past four years, a process that hit a new peak on April 7 with their official opening night at the off-Broadway Westside Theater. After a sold-out nine-week New York run in a 160-seat venue, the production has moved to the 270-seat stage that gave shows like John Leguizamo’s Spic-oRama and I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change (the long-running hit produced by Jonathan Pollard, who is also backing Disenchanted) their start. While visiting family over PassEaster, I had the pleasure of seeing one of Disenchanted’s final preview performances, just a couple of days after Knight and Picart were nominated for prestigious Lucille Lortel Awards as Outstanding Lead and Featured Actresses in a Musical. At the Westside, Disenchanted has been fleshed out with spot-on sets and costumes from Disney vets Gentry Akens and Vanessa Leuck, as well as peppy choreography by musical stager Matt West. While I miss Orlando cast member Andrea Canny’s cray-cray takes on Belle and the Little Mermaid, the current supporting players (Becky Gulsvig, Jen Bechter, Alison Burns and Soara-Joye Ross) are all excellent, as was understudy Anthea Neri, though no one can nail the comic timing of Mulan’s lesbian anthem like Picart. As the revue’s ringmaster, Knight is always in complete command of her audience, drawing helpless laughter with just an arched eyebrow or sidelong stare. Most importantly, Giacino and Matias have taken critiques (including mine) of past productions to heart and greatly enhanced the relationships between
the characters, finally giving their show the emotional through-line I always craved. After their Big Apple achievements, you might expect Giacino and Matias to have outgrown their Orlando past, but the opposite is true; the pair graciously provided me with press passes to their show and sat down with me afterward to express their gratitude to the city that supported them. “We wouldn’t be here without the Orlando Fringe,” says Matias. “We want to pay it forward and give back” by contributing artifacts to a proposed Orlando Fringe 25th anniversary museum exhibit. They also haven’t lost their sense of wonder at how far they’ve come: “It’s still fun to go over to TKTS [the Times Square ticket booth] and see our name,” says Giacino, who met Ben Vereen and was asked to write lyrics for Simon Cowell as a result of Disenchanted. “It’s funny how it happens; it just happens. It blindsides you, you have no idea it’s coming and then somebody says, ‘Let’s go do this in New York.’” Though they are currently attending and giving notes on every performance, once the show is officially open and “frozen,” Giacino and Matias will have to let it go and turn their attention to the show’s next phase, as they work on a Spanish translation for a Dominican Republic production of Desencantada. There’s also talk of licensing the script and sending it on tour, which Giacino likens to “send[ing] the kid off to college.” But despite the exciting success, one thing still hasn’t changed: Just as when I last talked to them a year ago, they are still sleeping on friends’ floors (now in New Jersey) until those big bucks come rolling in. So take note, Orlando Fringers; dreams can come true, but don’t dispose of your air mattresses just yet. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

An opening date is still pending, but Black Rooster Taqueria’s scratch kitchen will feature house-made organic corn tortillas, along with such traditional Mexican items as cochinita pibil with local pork, seasonal ceviches, sopes and huaraches, and “bowl”-style items like posole verde and achiote braised beef. The Iceman cometh! Robert Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice, hosts the grand opening festivities at McFadden’s Irish Restaurant & Saloon April 9-11.

here are some undeniable merits of dining at Pho Curry Ford, not the least of which is saying the restaurant’s name. “Fuckery-ford? Fuckery-ford!” we giggled at the (I assume) unintended phonetic perversity; we just couldn’t help ourselves. Naturally, the sudden appearance of our server put a halt to those puerile titters, which nevertheless resumed soon after she headed back to the kitchen with our order. “Oh, you play the didgeridoo, do you? Well, I play the fuckeryford!” I guess you just had to be there. Anyway, when the vegetarian lotus stem salad ($8.95) we ordered came out not vegetarian, I promptly put my restaurantreviewing game face back on. Something clearly had been lost in translation – we ordered No. 65, but were served No. 7. In the end, though, the shrimp and pork looked so appetizing on the plate that we opted not to mention the error, instead
just enjoying this invigorating opener. The salad – minty, tangy, tart and sweet – was livened up further with Thai basil and a side of crackling fried prawn crackers. We scratched the veggie itch with corpulent spring rolls filled with tofu ($3.50) and egg rolls stuffed with a dense taro filling ($3.95). Both served their purpose, though neither was particularly compelling. So it was a good thing the pho tai ($7.95) lived up to expectations. Surpassed them, in fact. The rich, dark, aromatic broth is worthy of being served in Mills 50, and the add-ins (bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños, spiky saw leaf and the like) were impeccably fresh. We followed the first-rate pho with a bloody good banh mi bò kho ($8.50) – a bowl of hearty beef stew served with doughy French bread. The broth was slightly runnier than expected, but sopping it up with bread procured from Boston Bakery (on the corner of Colonial Drive and North Ferncreek Avenue) was an absolute delight. If the banh mi bò kho was the savory
highlight of the evening, the bún with grilled pork and shrimp ($8.95) stood on the opposite end of the flavor spectrum. While aesthetically pleasing – lettuce, cucumbers and sprouts all artistically positioned atop a heap of rice vermicelli noodles – both the grilled pork and shrimp were just so utterly bland it made eating the rest of the dish a tedious exercise. There aren’t any desserts offered, and they didn’t have any salty lemonade, my beverage of choice when dining at a Vietnamese restaurant. So, yes, there’s certainly room to enhance the overall experience here, and I have to credit the server for soliciting our feedback. There seems to be a genuine willingness among the staff and the owners to improve, and that’s always encouraging to see. The space itself once housed Regional Grill and Bayou, and Pho Curry Ford’s interior is pretty much the same – that is, there’s nothing really stimulating or amusing to hold our attention. But that name!
BrIeFly: The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic is slated for Oct. 30-31 … Toca Boca at I-Drive 360 is now going by the name of Tapa Toro … The Coop now serves breakfast until 2 p.m. … Black Cauldron Brewing and Broken Strings Brewery are joining forces to open their respective operations under one roof, one block away from Orlando City Stadium on West Church Street … The North Quarter Tavern (near Citrus just north of downtown) is staffing up and prepping for a mid- to late-May opening … New Jersey-based Seabra Foods Supermarket, a pan-Latin grocery store, will open this fall on I-Drive and feature an in-house butcher shop, raw bar and bistro.

Boca Tampa-based boîte is the latest to make a go of this jinx spot, and does so with intermittent success. Wonderfully crisp fried green tomatoes with pimento, tomato jam and house bacon are an impressive starter, as is the farmhouse salad with greens grown right on the walls in the resto’s “vertical garden.” Mains can be hit (pan-seared wahoo over pineapple salsa, black bean paste, celery puree) or miss (overdone and over-garlicked bistecca). Cocktails are somewhat cloying, but desserts, thankfully, aren’t. 358 N. Park Ave., Winter Park, 407-636-7022; $$$
Rome’s Flavours Roman husband and wife bring a small slice of the Eternal City to Winter Park with simple, rustic, full-flavored dishes. Rustic “paddle pizzas” served on floured cutting boards are just as delectable as the hearty potato soup and flank steak served over arugula. The focused menu also features a variety of salumi and al dente pastas. Whatever you do, sample their gelatos, preferably in the form of an affogato. 124 E. Morse Blvd., Winter Park, 407-951-8039; $$
Another Broken Egg Another Broken Egg’s menu is rooted in Cajun and Creole cookery, which means flavor, flavor and more flavor. Don’t miss the fried green tomato app or the perfectly melty lobster-and-Brie omelet. What the biscuit beignets lack in lightness, they make up for with buttery richness. A full bar slings Bloody Marys and Kahlúa-spiked coffees, and the dark roast is served in earthenware crocks; this place has charm down to a science. 430 N. Orlando Ave., Winter Park, 407-790-7868; $$
The Egg and I As far as breakfast joints go, this SoDo eatery is as pedestrian as it gets. Breakfast standards and some with South-of-theBorder slants are, well, standard. Nothing particularly remarkable about the waffles, French toast, frittatas or Benedicts. Weekends are busy, so be sure to call ahead. No reservations. 2380 S.

The Meatball Shoppe Small Azalea Park eatery serves up (what else?) meatballs in six different varieties, which can be enjoyed three different ways – on top of a side (consider penne pasta, polenta or white bean ragout), “smashed” into a ciabatta roll or “alone” (over greens). Meatballs, be they traditional Italian, spicy pork or lamb, are moist and juicy, though meals can leave you wanting more, given that just three meatballs come in an order. Local Muse gelato and pricey but tasty mini cannoli comprise the dessert offerings. 7325 Lake Underhill Road, 407-270-6505; $
Mynt Understatedly elegant Indian joint brings standard curry house fare in the guise of haute cuisine to Hannibal Square. Flavors work for such dishes as uttapham sliders, but fancy plating makes for impractical eating. There are plenty of options on the menu, though many fall in the middling range. Tandoori Cornish hen was marred by a cakey marinade, though creamy, subtly sweet lamb pasanda made for an enjoyable meal along with flaky lacha paratha. 535 W. New England Ave., Winter Park, 407-636-7055; $$$
American Q Barbecue makes rodizio-style rounds at American Q. Buffet cuts like brisket with Texas bark and andouille sausage are Lone Star State-worthy; be wary of desiccated pork shoulder and flank steak, however. A la carte items like Texas beef ribs and Mississippi fried catfish gratify, but hit the pocketbook hard. Service is professional and friendly but, unlike Texas de Brazil, can lag. Interesting cocktails and swine candy keep barflies buzzing. 1905 Hotel Plaza Blvd., Lake Buena Vista, 407-827-3080; $$$
Atlantic Beer & Oyster Adjacent to Boca, this beer-and-oyster bar suffers from uninspired offerings and lackadaisical, sometimes absent, service. Bluepoint oysters, as well as those from Texas and Louisiana, are the main attraction – try the oyster shooters with horseradishinfused vodka and gazpacho – but the smoky fish dip also makes a worthy nosh alongside a beer, of which there’s a decent selection. 358 N. Park Ave., Winter Park, 407-636-7021; $$
The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar In the midst of celebrity-branded restaurants and kiosks slinging themepark kitsch, the Cowfish fills the need for inventive, delightfully weird cuisine. There’s a menu section for burgers, one for sushi, and a selection of bizarre combinations requiring a suspension of disbelief, like the Buffaloooo-shi burgushi roll: chipotle bison, fried green tomato and feta rolled in crispy tempura flakes. It works. Universal Citywalk, 6000 Universal Blvd., 407-363-8000; $$$ n

Pursue your dream career as Pet Groomer, Veterinary Assistant or a Veterinary Technician. The Institute of Technical Arts is an independent, private, postsecondary school, specializing in applied education and training at the diploma and associate degree levels. Your future looks bright at ITA to get your training for a new and rewarding career. We have scholarships and financial aid to those that qualify. Our history defines us. The Institute of Technical Arts (ITA) was started in Orlando, Florida by Laura Lee Lundberg, a dynamic and industrious entrepreneur, who had a vision of opening her own pet grooming salon. This dream was realized in 1988 in Winter Park, Florida when FiFi’s Poodle Palace began transforming the community’s scruffy puppies into their inner show dogs. In 1996, FiFi’s School of Pet Grooming opened, and was licensed by the Florida Department of Education, moving Ms. Lundberg’s enterprise into the field of education. In 1999, the school added a Veterinary Assistant program, attracting a more diverse student body. The arrival of the new millennium in the year 2000 marked a substantial moment in the school’s history, as we changed our name to the prestigious Florida Institute of Animal Arts. An educational milestone was reached in 2001 when the school was accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). Another exhilarating event occurred in 2002 when the school gained national recognition by the United States

Opening this week Freetown Those Mormon moviemakers sure are getting crafty. The promo materials for Freetown suggest some sort of latter-day Hotel Rwanda, with serious-looking darkskinned folk searching the horizon for signs of a better future. In actuality, the movie is a partisan portrait of some Liberian LDS missionaries on the run from religious persecution. The kind of persecution, say, that had branded you as wicked before God because of the color of your skin as recently as the late 1970s? Heck, no! That’s the sort of loving embrace you run to, not from. Ya big sillyhead. (PG-13)

The Longest Ride I kid Kevin Hart sometimes, but I have to give him credit for identifying “Let’s watch The Notebook” as the rallying cry of every faux-sincere guy on the hunt for poon. So it’s the height of serendipity that The Longest Ride, the latest big-screen Nicholas Sparks adaptation, includes a supporting role for Alan Alda, who all but invented the stratagem of feigning sensitivity to get your Ginsu sharpened. ANYWAY, Ride details the romantic relationship between a bull rider (Scott Eastwood) on the comeback trail and a college student (Britt Robertson) who is poised to make waves in the NYC art scene. I’m counting on the pair to prioritize her goals and desires by moving to the Big Apple, where she’ll become a fabulous professional success and he’ll have his mind opened to exciting new cultures and edifying new ideas. ‘Cause that’s totally what the target audience here likes to see.

Accidental messenger How Bruce Johnston helped shape the long-term success of the Beach Boys BY MATT KAMM THe BeaCH BoyS 8:30 p.m. Friday, April 10 | Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd. | 407351-5483 | hardrock.com/orlando | $33-$197
o
n April 9, 1965, the second wave of the Beach Boys began. The first wave had crashed, leaving the brothers Brian, Carl, Dennis, their cousin Mike and neighbor Al to serve as ripples that reached every shore in the world. Hit after hit blasted the Boys into stardom with their signature sound, but inevitably the winds began to change. Amid the looming threat of a creative revolutionary, Brian Wilson, losing his grasp on reality, the Vietnam War and an ever-changing landscape in the music industry, an accidental messenger emerged. At the time, Bruce Johnston was on staff as a producer at Columbia Records and “Help Me Rhonda” had just hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts. The band initially contacted Johnston to help find a stand-in for Brian on vocals and bass for a New Orleans date – none of Johnston’s contacts could make the gig. Johnston came to the rescue. Afterward, Carl Wilson called Johnston, begging him to join the band. When given the choice between suit and tie and adoring fans, Johnston chose the latter: “I was too young not to be hypnotized by the
screams and the great music.” Over the summer of 1965, Brian stayed home to work on his masterpiece, Pet Sounds, while Johnston and the band toured. “Some people aren’t meant to tour, really,” Johnston says. “Brian wasn’t meant to tour. I mean, thank God I was able to permanently take his place, so he could stay home and make Pet Sounds.” After lack of U.S. promotion from Capitol Records upon Pet Sounds’ release, Brian’s health and the fate of the band took a turn for the worst. “Certain guys have so much talent … like Brian,” Johnston says. “He wrote it, he arranged it, he produced the tracks, sang the leads, and was supposed to go on the road? I don’t know how you do that.” Johnston, now taking an active role during studio sessions, was an avid fan of Brian’s work. “I was kind of the accidental messenger because I took Pet Sounds with me to England, and everybody was so gung ho … I could do no wrong. I wasn’t Brian, but I was treated like I was.” Following the release of “Sloop John B” as a single in the U.K., Johnston played an advance copy of Pet Sounds for John Lennon and Paul McCartney. After hearing, they replied, “Play it again, please.” Johnston’s involvement gradually increased as Brian’s stability and the
Beach Boys’ relevance diminished. With war becoming a reality, the culture shifted from good-timey innocence to stalwart action and activism. The Beach Boys suffered greatly from the changing tide. “You remember Spinal Tap? Playing the Air Force Academy or something like that … the Beach Boys were forever Republicans, so we became not cool for school anymore.” “Frankly, the music business was a lot geekier back then,” Johnston says. As Capitol turned its back on Brian’s work, he spiraled deeper into destruction. Then the label abandoned what he thought to be some of his best material, Smile, which ended up locked in the Capitol vaults for almost 50 years, while the Sinatra-esque Adult Child was canned altogether – only to be compiled by bootleggers for a niche audience able to accept the absurd. “How do you expect a guy to keep running the Olympics every day and win a gold medal?” Johnston says. “I think that’s what the label expected from Brian.” By 1970, Capitol ended its relationship with the Beach Boys, resulting in a nasty legal battle. Newly started Reprise Records, backed by Old Blue Eyes himself, picked them up for their record Sunflower, Johnston’s “favorite of all the Beach Boys albums.” While the record ultimately didn’t sell well, it remains one of the few to include writing from all six members. “Brian’s needing to catch his breath really caused every guy in the band to be able to try to produce tracks and write them,” Johnston explains. After leaving the band in ’72, Johnston focused on solo work and wrote for other artists, earning him a Grammy for Song of the Year with Barry Manilow’s “I Write the Songs” – an effort which he credits to his time learning from natural masters Brian Wilson and Mike Love. He returned in ’78 permanently, touring the world and producing several albums with the Beach Boys. Although Johnston’s contributions are commonly overlooked, he remains a true Beach Boy, invaluable to the long-term success of the band and ultimately furthering their legacy by allowing the timeless work of a misunderstood genius to be recognized by history. Almost 40 years later, Brian’s vision of Smile was finally unlocked from the Capitol vaults and able to show its pearly whites, receiving a Grammy for Best Historical Album in 2013. Johnston finds it tragic that the band never saw a Grammy for any of their incredible songs, but he’s more at peace since 2013: “You fast-forward to a couple years ago … and Brian’s 25-year-old talent and momentum is honored with a Grammy.”

As ganglia for some entire
underground scenes, DIY venues are a vital incubating component to any broader scene worth its salt. Now imagine if they were sustainable. The Space Station (lowerearthorbit.com), recently covered in Orlando Music News (“DIY venue and art studio the Space Station welcomes outsiders to catch live music and collaborate,” March 25), is a newcomer that might just be. At the terminus of a street in the western industrial fringe of College Park (2539 Coolidge Ave.), the Space Station is a warehouse-cum-underground clubhouse that’s a genuine DIY zone without any of the shithole connotations that implies. Although there’s a lounge space with a turntable and vinyl library, there’s enough artwork and equipment around (screen printing, woodworking, brewing, rehearsal, etc.) to certify it as a place of creative industry and not just some basic scene hang. The recent F.N. Hostile event (April 2) had a communal vibe, with people breaking literal bread together before the show – like a chill little house party, only with face-blasting live music. The performance space is a concrete show box with a corner riser and even some lights and a disco ball, presumably for nights other than this heavy-metal congress. All events are BYOB and free, but donations are accepted for performing artists and venue operation. Shows are early and end by 10 p.m. because of the noise ordinance, which was pretty well observed the night I was there. But even for a heavy show like this, the sound was pretty contained from the outside. Of the local openers, Mom and Dan
The total effect was rhythmically dazzling, constantly surprising pop music. shot the straightest with simple, dirty and effective punk metal. Stocked with members of Primary Colors, Orlando’s Powerful Black Power packed a lot of Primary Colors’ daring and humor, but with even more hues. Like some sort of metal jazz, their blackened, experimental sound was a kaleidoscopic and constantly moving target, in turns technical, towering, explosive and swarming. Georgia headliner Dead Hand, however, was a finished and widescreen experience. With the panorama of postmetal, they’re like a truly doomed Red Sparowes whose bleak beauty unfurls like a slow-mo sweep over the ruins of fallen kingdoms. And even in a small, windowless room, their deliberate, slow-burning music was oceanic. As a DIY venue, the Space Station might actually work because it seems to have a chassis that’s not wholly built on the erratic lifeline of alms from sub-cultural youth with big ideals but often little means. I wish money didn’t necessarily have to be a factor, either, but as much as purists try to force it there, art and culture don’t exist in a vacuum. That’s just life, kids. Because of its
somewhat established bedrock and model, however, the Space Station may just have a better chance of survival than past failed missions. And having its shit together alone makes it especially worth supporting.
THE BEAT
I wasn’t always on the tUnE-yArDs train. The polarization surrounding them shows I’m not alone. From head to toe, this is a pretty labored act, sometimes to the point of high contrivance. Just look at their excruciatingly stylized name – I’m pretty sure my copy editor is straight-up seizing right now. But step by step, Tune-Yards’ vision has developed cogency beyond weird-pop circles, best crystallized in their exceptional latest album, Nikki Nack. Following through with this bright evolution, the full-band performance (April 3, the Beacham) on their first Florida tour ever was a big splash of color, show and nerve. The charged, polyrhythmic intelligence of their forward tribalism was delivered with the thrust of two percussionists and the fiery humanity of their melodies amplified with two backup singers. The total effect was rhythmically dazzling, constantly surprising pop music delivered with manifest core and force. Also impressive was opener Son Lux, whose rhythmic invention and art-pop sense made them a natural pairing with Tune-Yards. Now clearly beyond the leftfield hip-hop accents of the early Anticon days, Son Lux’s music speaks a fully modern, integrated sonic language where rock and electronics don’t feel like fusion. The result is a rich, unusual sound with a true eye on the future of pop. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

MegaCon
EVENTS It’s that time of year again when those who are into superheroes, anime and science fiction of all types flock to I-Drive and post updates from the annual traffic jam about how far they haven’t moved in an hour. Seriously, though, MegaCon has set up two new off-site parking lots this year in an effort to avoid last year’s gridlock, so check their site before heading down. Once you’re there, you’ll be able to marvel at cosplayers, watch informative panels and get your picture taken
with stars from shows like The Walking Dead, Doctor Who and Firefly. If comics are more your thing, do your best to get a snapshot with Stan Lee, the public face of Marvel Comics, but also don’t forget about legendary talent like George Pérez, Darwyn Cooke, Chuck Dixon and tons more. – Thaddeus McCollum noon-7 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday | Orange County Convention Center, 9800 International Drive | 386-364-1826 | megaconvention.com | $20-$300

Tolkien It Off: A Burlesque Tribute to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ DANCE If you go to MegaCon and leave feeling like the cosplayers were a little too dressed up, with nary a tasseled pasty in sight, the Venue has the remedy for your hankering for high-fantasy boobies. An all-star cast of local burlesque stars open all three volumes of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic to present a tribute to slinky elves, stacked dwarves and … barefoot hobbits? Well, whatever. With performances by local favorites like Vita DeVoid and Kissa Von Addams, watching these Middle-earththemed routines should have you gasping “my precious!” while getting you hotter than the fires of Mount Doom. The $3 upgrade to front-row VIP seating might be totally worth it if any of the performers are able to put together a sexy Shelob costume. – TM

LION’S DEN PHOTO BY AJ HÉGE PHOTOGRAPHY
The Red Lion Pub has been holding down the live music scene on Howell Branch Road ever since Odin’s Den shut down, but as anyone who’s been to their Twisted Tuesday events knows, you’re just as likely to see someone spinning flaming poi sticks around or hula-hooping as you are to see a band. This week, the pub opens a new space called the Lion’s Den that’s devoted to these kinds of eclectic performances. The Lion’s Den will feature a stage with devoted sound and light systems along with a 40-foot mirrored wall for those who want to practice their poi, hooping or yoga. To kick off the grand opening of this space, three of Orlando’s most prominent young jam bands – Leisure Chief, the Groove Orient and Holey Miss Moley – are set to soundtrack the night, along with Body//Talk’s main man, VSN QST. Just look for the secret bookcase door to check out this cool new multi-purpose space, but be sure to bring cash as the bar doesn’t take cards. – TM

It’s officially spring, and what better way to celebrate than spending it out at Lake Eola? There will be more than 200 craft booths and plenty of tasty food for the whole family, along with the stunning views of the lake. Pack whatever your little heart desires, like a blanket and maybe even a picnic basket. Fiesta in the Park is pet-friendly, and there’s also an area for the kiddies to play in. WFTV Channel 9 will have their own booth, giving guests opportunities to “spin the wheel” – who knows what you could win? Whether you’re interested in homemade purses, blankets or paintings, with all these artisans on site, something is bound to catch your eye. Sunblock, water and a pair of shades will be necessities for enjoying the (hopefully) gorgeous weather throughout this two-day extravaganza. – Haley Cannon
MUSIC
Sometimes it’s hard to remember that Rollins is actually a private college and not just a Winter Park playground for all of us. They’re just so darn generous to the community – home of the Cornell Museum of Fine Arts; host to cultural organizations like the Bach Festival Society and the Winter Park Institute; and broadcaster of the radio station we need like oxygen, WPRK 91.5. (While some yellow-bellied colleges have sold off their precious bandwidth, Rollins is staying the course and continuing to provide this invaluable community resource.) Not only does WPRK give us what we love 24 hours per day, every year the student-run station throws a free outdoor concert where everyone’s welcome to loll on the great lawn and partake of their generosity. This year brings Marco Benevento’s lush, grin-inducing piano-based rock; Brooklyn-via-Tacoma DJ Eliot Lipp’s squelchy breakbeat bangers; the jammy Orlando-based Groove Orient and more. The fest begins with yoga on the lawn at 2 p.m.; salute the sun, then pollute your ears in the best possible way. – Jessica Bryce Young
EVENTS If you’re a serious music fan, the only event you need to flag this weekend isn’t any old concert; it’s the massive Record & CD Show at Central Florida Fairgrounds. Determined collectors will get there for early admission at 7:30 a.m. (that costs $10, which is $7 more than general admission at 10 a.m.) and clean out those rare, sought-after albums that fetch a pretty price on Discogs. But for the less geeky vinyl nerds, there’s plenty to pursue all day in the crates and crates of records that magically surface for one day only. There’s also memorabilia, if you’ve got one of those man-cave music rooms HGTV is always melting down vinyl to cheaply stylize, including posters, videos and other music-minded knick-knacks. Pause whatever’s on the turntable now, and take a spin through this whirlwind record-lovers version of Sunday Funday. – Ashley Belanger

You need incentive to dust off your bike, get out into the sun and cycle around the ’hood, right? Well, Ivanhoe Village Main Street is giving it to you. First, head to Retro City Cycles at 9 a.m. for a bike safety check – they’ll make sure your tired old Schwinn is road-ready for your adventure. Then join a group for a family-friendly ride around Ivanhoe Village (organizers say it’ll be a 6-mile ride), followed by a pancake breakfast at the Hammered Lamb. Pancakes are fine and all – and we’d totally eat a stack of them after riding around the Ivanhood all morning – but nothing tastes better after a bike ride than a nice cold IPA. And Hammered Lamb serves those, too, so your post-ride festivities are made. All proceeds from this event benefit the Ivanhoe Village Main Street district, which helps bring more good times (and good businesses) to the area. – Erin Sullivan

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Uitwaaien is a Dutch word that means to go out for a stroll in windy weather simply because it’s exhilarating. I don’t know any language that has parallel terms for running in the rain for the dizzy joy of it, or dancing through a meadow in the dark because it’s such nonsensical fun, or singing at full volume while riding alone in an elevator in the mad-happy quest to purge your tension. But in the coming weeks, you don’t need to describe or explain experiences like this; you just need to do them. Experiment with giving your instinctive need for exuberance lots of room to play. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your nasty, nagging little demon isn’t nasty or nagging any more. It’s not doing what demons are supposed to do. It’s confused, haggard and ineffective. I almost feel sorry for the thing. It is barely even keeping you awake at night, and its ability to motivate you through fear is at an all-time low. Here’s what I suggest: Now, when the demon’s strength is waning and its hold on you is weak, you should break up with it for good. Perform an ultimate, non-reversible exorcism. Buy it a one-way bus ticket to the wasteland and say goodbye forever. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When he was in his 50s, French painter Claude Monet finally achieved financial success. He used his new riches to buy a house and land, then hired gardeners to help him make a pond full of water lilies. For the first time in his life, he began to paint water lilies. During the next 30 years, they were his obsession and his specialty. He made them a central feature of 250 canvases, which now serve as one of his signature contributions to art history. “I planted my water lilies for pleasure,” he said. “I cultivated them without thinking of painting them. And then suddenly, I had the revelation of the magic of my pond.” I regard the imminent future as a good time for you to do something similar: Create or find a source of beauty that will stimulate your sense of wonder and fuel your passion to express yourself for a long time. CANCER (June 21-July 22) “Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love,” said Cancerian comedian Mel Brooks. Although he was joking, he was also quite serious. More often than we like to admit, desperation infects our quest to be cared for. Our decisions about love may be motivated by a dread of loneliness. We worry about whether we are worthy of getting the help and support we need. It’s a fundamental human problem, so there’s no reason to be ashamed if you have this tendency yourself. Having said that, I’m happy to report that you now have the necessary power to overcome this tendency. You will be able to summon tremendous courage as you revise and refine your relationship with love. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Do you ever feel reverence and awe? Are there times when you spontaneously yearn to engage in acts of worship? Is there anyone or anything that evokes your admiration, humility and gratitude? The coming weeks will be a good time to seek out experiences like these. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will get tender jolts of transformational inspiration if you blend yourself with a sublime force that you trust and respect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A lot has happened since you were … uh … indisposed. You’ve missed out on several plot twists. The circle has been broken, repaired, broken again and partially repaired. Rumors have been flying, allegiances have been shifting and riddles have been deepening. So are you ready yet to return to the heated action? Have you learned as much as you can from the commotion that provoked your retreat? Don’t try to return too early. Make sure you are at least 70 percent healed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Rent, but don’t buy yet. That’s my $250-per-hour advice. Keep rehearsing, but don’t start performing the actual show. OK? Flirt, but don’t fall in love. Can you handle that much impulse control? Are you strong enough to explore the deeper mysteries of patience? I swear to you that your burning questions will ultimately be answered if you don’t try to force the answers to arrive according to a set timetable. I guarantee that you will make the necessary connections as long as you don’t insist that they satisfy every single one of your criteria. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The Guerrilla Girls are a group of prankster activists who use humor to expose sexism and racism in the art world. Every so often they take a “weenie count” at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. During their first survey in 1989, they found that five percent of the artists who had work hanging in the galleries were women, while 85 percent of the nudes depicted in the paintings were women. More recently, in 2012, their weenie count revealed that four percent of the artists were female, but 76 percent of the naked people in the paintings were female. The coming week would be a good time for you to take a weenie count in your own sphere. Conditions are more favorable than usual to call attention to gender disparities, and to initiate corrective action. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The English term “engine” refers primarily to a machine that transforms energy into mechanical power. But its roots are in the Old French word engin, which meant skill or wit, and in the Latin word ingenium, defined as “inborn talent.” I’d like to borrow the original meanings to devise your horoscope this week. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your “engine” is unusually strong right now, which means that your cultivated skills and innate talents are functioning at peak levels. I suggest you make intensive use of them to produce maximum amounts of energy and gather more of the clout you’d love to wield. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) What I’m about to say is not a hard scientific fact, but it is a rigorous poetic fable. You don’t need to go to the mountain, because the mountain is willing and able to come to you. But will it actually come to you? Yes, but only if you meet two conditions. The mountain will pick itself up and move all the way to where you are if you make a lot of room for it and if you are prepared to work with the changes its arrival will bring. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you were a 4-year-old, cookies might be a valuable treasure to you. Given a choice between a bowl of stir-fried organic vegetables and a plate full of chocolate coconut macaroons, you’d probably choose the macaroons. For that matter, if you were 4 years old and were asked to decide between getting a pile of macaroons and a free vacation to Bali or an original painting by Matisse or a personal horoscope reading from the world’s greatest astrologer, you’d also opt for the cookies. But since you’re a grownup, your list of priorities is screwed on straight, right? You would never get distracted by a sugary, transitory treat that would cause you to ignore a more nourishing and long-lasting pleasure. Right? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) On June 23, 1917, Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in a Major League Baseball game against the Washington Senators. After the first batter drew a walk, Ruth got upset with the home plate umpire and punched him in the head. Ejected! Banished! The Babe had to be dragged off the field by the cops. The new pitcher was Ernie Shore. He proceeded to pitch a perfect game, allowing no further Washington player to reach base in all nine innings. In the coming weeks, I see you as having the potential to duplicate Ernie Shore’s performance in your own sphere. Coming in as a replacement, you will excel. Chosen as a substitute, you will outdo the original.

This pretty girl is Brooklyn (Animal ID A314884). She is a 4-year-old friendly dog who was recently surrendered to the shelter by her family because they could no longer care for her. Brooklyn’s former owners said they attempted to find a new home for her prior to bringing her to Animal Services, but they didn’t have any success, even when they reached out to other local shelters. Brooklyn gets along great with other dogs and is housebroken. She loves to spend time outside, and she really enjoys being petted. At orange County animal Services (2769 Conroy Road, 407-396-3111, ocnetpets.com), it is currently $55 to adopt a dog and the adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, a microchip and vaccinations. The shelter will be offering free pet microchipping and free rabies vaccinations to all Orange County pets on Sunday, April 19, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
B Y D A N S AVA G E I’m a straight male kinkster who used to do live performances as a rope-bondage top, but I recently jumped out of the kink community. I just think I’ll have better luck finding a long-term relationship with a girl from the vanilla world. So long as she’s GGG, I can live with it. As much as I loved the sex/ kink with people I met in “the scene,” I never found anything/anyone for the “long term.” My question: I’m unsure of how much I should share about my past. Should I tell vanilla girls that I performed at bondage shows? I don’t want to scare them off, but I also don’t want it to come up years down the road and have it scare them off then. Should He Always Reveal Experiences?
When something awesome, interesting, or commendable about you scares someone off – your fun and sexy kinks, your sexually adventurous history – your best course of action is to shrug and say “good riddance.” But if you’re afraid the otherwise GGG woman you recently met on a vanilla dating app or in a vanilla drinking establishment will panic and bolt, SHARE, you can wait to disclose your history of tying people up in front of crowds until she’s gotten to know you better. Your past as a bondage performer doesn’t present a health risk for the GGG women you’ll be tying up in private, SHARE, so you can go ahead and roll it out slowly. But do roll it out eventually. If you find that you’re unable to locate any LTR-worthy women in the vanilla world – just like you couldn’t find any in the fetish scene – then the problem was you, SHARE, not the scene. The thought of my wife being with another guy is a fantasy of mine. We’ll sometimes role-play that she has just come home from a fling, at which point I’ll go down on her while she tells me all the sexy condomless details. For health reasons, we aren’t going to actually do this. But can you recommend some substance that feels and perhaps even tastes like come that she can, um, insert into herself to add a sexy dose of verisimilitude to our play? It’s got to be safe and nonirritating for her, but it needs to look and maybe taste like semen. Boy After Realistic Emulsions P.S. This isn’t a cuckold thing for us, as I have no desire to be humiliated. It’s more of a “hotwife” fantasy with a guy/guy bi twist.
There’s a brand of silicone lubricant called Spunk that looks and feels – can you guess? – just like spunk. You might not want to guzzle bottles of it, BARE, but ingesting a little safe-and-nonirritating silicone lube isn’t going to kill you. Order yourself a case at spunklube.com. I am a bi married father who recently fell on hard times. In order to make rent, I posted a few Craigslist ads, and now I occasionally suck dick for money. I don’t intend to tell my wife, but I’m getting frequent STI tests. I’m kind of freaked out by how not freaked out I am. I mean, sucking 15 cocks for cash just to make rent seems pretty extreme, but aside from some low-level shame, I feel OK about it. Do you think regular people occasionally do this? Should I feel bad? Paying Bills Regularly
Tons of stories were written at the height of the Great Recession about average people doing sex work to make ends meet, PBR. So lots of “regular people” have done sex work. (And sex workers? They’re regular people, too.) And while I don’t think you should feel bad, PBR, I do think you should tell the wife. Regular STI testing will only let you know that you’ve caught an STI, if you should ever catch one – it doesn’t immunize you against catching an STI. So your wife, if you’re having sex with her, too, has a right to know where the rent money is coming from. A friend of mine who indulged my foot fetish (let me jack off while looking at and fondling her feet) while we were dating mentioned recently that lots of women would be up for indulging it for the right price. I replied, “Well, sure, but you can’t just walk up to women on the street and be like, ‘Hey, can I jack off to your feet for a hundred bucks?’” She said, “The Internet, duh.” My question: Is it illegal to offer money for such services online? What kind of risk would I be running if I ran an ad that hinted at what I’m interested in without getting too explicit? Cash For Toes
The risk of being busted for an ad like that – particularly if there’s no explicit offer of cash in exchange for sexual services – is low, CFT, but not nonexistent. Busting consenting adult sex workers and johns is easier than catching thieves, rapists and murderers, and it all but guarantees a police department some positive coverage on the local evening news. But the risk, again, is pretty small, and the rewards – for a foot fetishist – would be pretty great. Just remember the escort-ad dodge: You’re paying someone for their time – for their companionship, which is not illegal – and whatever happens during that time is between two consenting adults.
Longtime reader, first-time writer. I recently acquired the panties of a young lady after replying to her ad on Craigslist. She’d offered to “enhance” them for me for a small extra charge. They arrived enhanced, all right – heady aroma(s), but nothing truly memory-inducing since I’d never been intimate with her. But I digress. What I’m wondering is if I could “get” anything by holding her undies against my nose? I know the old pregnant-fromsemen-on-a-toilet-seat story is a myth, but these were still moist when I got them. Seeks Needed Info From Friendly Faggot
You’re getting a thrill from those panties, SNIFFF, but you’re probably not getting your money’s worth. A friend who helped put herself through school selling “used” panties used a small dollop of mayo to “enhance” the panties she bought and sold in bulk. Caveat emptor, caveat scortator.
