“What I believe is going to happen is this: We’ll just have a continuation budget, which will mean we’ll have about an $8 billion surplus. … We’ll just do what we’ve done this last year. We won’t put more money into schools, which I wanted to do. We won’t cut taxes, which I wanted to do. We’ll just leave the money there, and deal with it in our next session, which starts in January.” – Gov. Rick Scott on Fox News’ On the Record with Greta Van Susteren idiocy – is throwing in a dangerous towel. We don’t buy it, and nor should you, but Scott’s reasoning seems to be that if he is going to alienate every entity that is not a business in this state, then it might as well involve those By the time this bit of political who loosely operate within his own “party” whittling has been digested by the huddled, as well – even though Scott was more green sunburnt masses yearning to be treated fairly in tea than Republican when he purchased his Florida, there will likely have been an actual call way into this mess. Or, perhaps, for that very for a special session of reason. the Florida Legislature But even those in the beginning June 1, because Republican brass aren’t if there isn’t, then – at least biting that party line, Amount Gov. Rick Scott told according to the smoke according to the Tampa Fox News that the state had signals being sent by Gov.

Even though they prior to finalizing a budget or even a legdo not agree on Medicaid expansion, Senate islative session earlier this spring. Medicaid President Gardiner and House Speaker Steve expansion was almost too hot of a button to Crisafulli, R-Merritt Island, are throwing touch for most of the icetheir hands up in the hearted conservative air over this notion of a legislative majority, even government shutdown. if the Senate – via OrlandoScott’s been watching too Scott’s proposed budget for based Senate President and many outdated national 2015-2016, including $673 Republican Andy Gardiner C-Span feeds, it seems, to million in tax cuts – was able to (once again) understand that our state dress up the proposition government can’t operate of saving a million lives as on a deficit, that there will something that could be pitched to the idiot be cuts to virtually everything, including the base as a free-market option. pet projects legislators trot out to increase their Now, however, Scott – who seems to be donor pools and their re-elections in the commimicking the “yee-haw” suicide maneuvers ing presidential election year. of Slim Pickens grabbing his slim pickings “I don’t think anybody really understands and jumping off a bomber (see Dr. Strangelove) what a continuation budget is,” Gardiner told in the name of stubborn dignity and, well, the Times. “We’ve always intended to come

back and do the budget.” Crisafulli agrees. So what we have here is a failure to communicate. What we don’t have here, however, is a true precedent. Scott’s chief of staff, Melissa Sellers, as we all know, is Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s former employee, and Louisiana kicks the budget can regularly. Moreover, it’s worth noting that Scott is being dishonest here, because if the bifurcated Legislature is willing to work out its own compromises in time for the constitutional summer deadline, what business does he have going on national television – cough, Fox News – and throwing a grenade into its negotiations? Meanwhile, you know what programs suffer when critical services are tabled (and this is from the state’s budget office, not some liberal watchdog group trying to eat your conservative babies): the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Justice, Health and Children and Families, upkeep of public schools, existing Medicaid expenditures, the Department of Transportation Work Program, the environment, funds for nationally declared disasters and the National Guard, housing and economic development – and the list goes on. All for what? A grudge match over Medicaid expansion and the inability of a man who defrauded Medicare to understand the needs of the working poor.

f Winterfell were located in Central Florida, its citizens would need not fear winter. Their mantra, instead, would be, “Summer is coming,” and they’d be preparing to do battle with mosquitoes and international tourists invading town like a horde of zombies rather than wildlings and White Walkers. But they’d surely know to pick up their copies of the Weekly to find out where to go to beat the heat and avoid the walking dead. In our 2015 summer issue, we tell you where you can lounge by a hotel pool in style without breaking the rules (page 13); what necessities you should pack to enjoy a day at the springs (page 14); we wax poetic about how much we love beer koozies (page 16); we tell you where to find the coolest treats in town (page 19); and we give you a handy list of do’s and don’ts for visiting Disney in the summer (page 22). We also help you find the best summer concerts coming to town (page 24); we’ve got a listing of the best summer events (page 45), including Fourth of July fests and fireworks (page 56), and a listing of pool parties and special events for Gay Days (page 59). As always, don’t forget to check out our online calendar at orlandoweekly.com, where we keep you updated on all the best stuff happening in Orlando all summer long. Turn on your AC and get out your coolers – summer is definitely coming. And it’s gonna be a hot one. – Erin Sullivan

No room key, no problem – beat the heat at these swanky hotel pools By HO L Ly V. Ka p H eRR
I
f the swimming hole at your apartment complex is overflowing with undesirables (eyes up here, Apartment 2B) or you’re just yearning for a lazy day where you can feel pampered and posh without spending a mint, you’re in luck. Those touristy hotels and high-rises you usually complain about are about to become your favorite staycation spot. Here, dive into some Orlando resorts that welcome non-guests to make like a tourist in their pools and float, lounge and doggy-paddle for a meager price (or totally gratis).
Hyatt Regency Orlando 9801 International Drive, 407-284-1234; orlando.regency.hyatt.com The newly rebranded sky-high hotel sports three pools, waterfalls, slides, a poolside grill and bar, as well as rental cabanas outfitted with mini fridges and flat-screen TVs. Requirements: To use the pool, just walk right out there in your swimsuit and get to relaxing. Or gather some friends and rent a cabana for a half-day ($95) or full day (10 a.m. to 6 p.m., $175).
The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes 4012 Central Florida Parkway, 407-206-2400; ritzcarlton.com/orlando Rent a cabana, dive into the 4,000-squarefoot lap pool or go to the gun show in the fitness center, then order a blackened grouper sandwich from the poolside café. Requirements: Purchase a spa treatment to get access to the pool area. A $50 pedi might just be worth it to get to hobnob with the swanky set for the day; you wouldn’t want unsightly toenails out there anyway.
Hilton Orlando 6001 Destination Parkway, 407-313-4300; thehiltonorlando.com Water slides, a zero-entry pool (walk right into the water like you’re at the beach) and a palm-lined lazy river are just a few of the 10

amenities at the I-Drive hotel’s resort area. Stay on for s’mores at the two poolside fire pits. Requirements: Book a spa treatment and get access to the bars and slides outside, or splash out on a cabana package and lunch is included – along with HD flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge and Wi-Fi.
Coco Key Water Resort 7400 International Drive, 407-351-2626; cocokeyorlando.com Sure, it’s gaudy and flashy and geared toward kids and families (small price to pay), but for a pittance you can wade in the shallow end, splash in mushroom fountains, jet down a slide or just park yourself on a lounger and people-watch. Florida residents get in for just under $22; friends from out of town will pay $30.
Reunion Resort & Club 7593 Gathering Drive, Kissimmee, 407-662-1000; reunionresort.com Here’s where making strategic friends can really come in handy – Reunion Resort & Club’s water park includes adult-sized slides and an eternally relaxing lazy river. The poolside grill boasts a full liquor bar (and food as well but, you know, liquid lunch), so you can sip Mai Tais like you’re in Oahu. Requirements: If you’re a member, you’re in. If you’re friends with a member (see above) you’re also in. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

pens do – a friend wraps your can in a koozie and next thing you know, you have a drawer full of them and never sought to own a single one. Call it serendipkoozie? But if you’re in the market, you can root out old-school designs at thrift stores and the latest neon trends in can cover-ups at tourist shops in town. There’s also local designers like VNM with their crude-dude line of koozies (thevnm.com, or at Etoile Boutique), which with a certain bro nonchalance shrugs suggestions like “Dump ’Em Out” and “Chill ’Em All.” There’s also newcomer VSOM (vsombrand.com), whose initials very seasonably stand for “Vacation State of Mind” and whose koozies show a dachshund in shades who seems to have found his beach on Gilligan’s Island. abelanger@orlandoweekly.com

weating the Florida sun is a given in the summer, but through it all, the koozie keeps its cool. (Well … unless you get one of those especially shitty foam jobs that blow out faster than Jimmy Buffett’s flip-flops.) The koozie (a.k.a. coozie, coolie, cozy, etc.) is nearly as critical an accessory as air conditioning or sunglasses for sensible Floridians. It’s a poolside tool as much as a toy, necessarily insulating our refreshments to keep us hydrated, inebriated and, on more forgiving days, even a little less jaded. Some koozie designs skew tourist-trashy, mirroring salacious bikini-clad postcard imagery, while others get punny with snortlaugh slogans or smirking, cheesy humor. Most often, koozies seem to pass between owners the way that lighters and ballpoint

Tiger’s Blood sno-cone Rainbow Sno-Cones, 3724 Howell Branch Road, Winter Park, 407-896-9105 It’s in a new location, but Rainbow SnoCones is still classic Orlando. Follow in the footsteps of Rainbow’s generations of devoted customers with a Tiger’s Blood – a sweet-tart blend of strawberry, watermelon and coconut syrups poured over perfectly crystalline shaved ice.
Frozen assets Nine freezy treats to beat summer heat By Je ssica Bryce you n g
Honeydew shaved snow Bubbles & Ice, 811 N. Mills Ave., 407-895-8833 Shaved snow is made from flavored, milky (though non-dairy) ice: frozen into giant blocks, heaved onto a rotating spit and shaved into gossamer-thin layers. The flavor and topping possibilities are almost endless, but honeydew snow topped with multicolored sprinkles and fruity popping pearls is especially refreshing.
Pistachio gelato Rome’s Flavours, 124 E. Morse Blvd., Winter Park, 407-951-8039 The owners, an Italian couple who ran a gelateria in Rome before relocating to Winter Park, make their own gelatos in house daily. The pistachio flavor is just right for summer appetites – dense, pale creamy green, intensely nutty and not too sweet.
coco-cocoa pop The Pop Parlour, 431 E. Central Blvd., 321-348-7677 The temple of popsicles has a plethora of flavors from which to choose, different every day based on what’s in season. It’s almost too hard to choose just one, but our current obsession (beating out summery vanilla-sweet corn), is the coco-cocoa: coconut milk and deep dark chocolate combined
in an all-growed-up pop that’s miles more sophisticated than the Fudgsicle of your childhood.
chocolate lava milkshake Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, 933 N. Orlando Ave., Winter Park, 407-699-9463; 8030 Via Dellagio Way, 407-352-5706 A steakhouse may not seem an ideal summer hangout, but you might make an exception for Fleming’s boozy milkshake, spun from vanilla ice cream, chocolate lava cake and Bulleit rye whiskey. Find it on their bar menu and make happy hour even happier.
Frozen Mojo Jojo Drunken Monkey Coffee Bar, 444 N. Bumby Ave., 407-893-4994 The ever-popular Mojo Jojo, a concoction of dark-roast coffee, condensed milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and a dash of cayenne, can be whirled with ice in the blender – get some brain-freeze with your caffeine fix.
sesame milk slush Quickly Boba & Snow, 3214 E. Colonial Drive, 407-270-4570 You’ve probably had Asian milk tea with boba before, but those familiar flavors – taro, green tea, cantaloupe – are even chillier when blended up into a slush. Quickly

has dozens, but we’re partial to the nuttyvanilla sesame, particularly when revved up with the addition of coffee jelly cubes (level up from your boring boba.) Boy Kong’s fantastic mural is also cooler than cool.
ice kacang Mamak Asian Street Food, 1231 E. Colonial Drive, 407-270-4688 Get exotic with a bowl of Malaysian ice kacang – a mound of shaved ice and sweet condensed milk topped with sticky-sweetstarchy red beans, creamy corn, cubes of translucent grass jelly and juicy palm nuts, drizzled with simple syrup and sprinkled with roasted peanuts.
avocado drink Loving Hut, 2101 E. Colonial Drive, 407-894-5673 Don’t be put off by the bare-bones name. This is a lush, creamy blend of soy milk, fresh avocado and unrefined sugar, whipped up in the Vitamix into a thirst-quenching pale-green slurp that actually tastes like avocado, not generic vanilla smoothie. jyoung@orlandoweekly.com

Summer Disney … summer not
Do’sney always splits a room at one of Walt Disney World Resort’s “value” hotels with friends. This ensures that Do’sney and his pals can take a midday break when the crowds have reached peak insanity. Nothing can ruin a day like being trapped on Main Street, USA trying to enter or exit the Magic Kingdom in the Florida summer heat. Do’sney prefers to be chilling with his resort pool privilege, sipping on a Captain’s Mai Tai. Do’sney also takes advantage of the Extra Magic Hours afforded to the traveling party by staying at a Disney resort. This allows them access to the parks either before or after operating hours for up to two hours, depending on the day. Don’tsney just shows up whenevs, acting like the mayor or something. Don’tsney gets a lot of panic attacks utilizing this strategy.
Do’s and don’ts to help you get the best of Walt Disney World during the dog days By TimoT hy m u r r ay
y
es, it’s summertime again and in Orlando that means one thing: Crushing throngs of tourists will flock from across the globe to enjoy our illustrious theme-park offerings. So I’ve asked my good friends Do’sney and Don’tsney to help me out with some tips for enjoying the lifeblood of our local economy, whether you hail from Lake Mary or Lake Titicaca. Take it away, fellas!
Do’sney stays hydrated with good ol’ H20 and uses lots of sunblock. Do’sney even wears a silly hat sometimes when the brutal sun is particularly intense. Don’tsney don’t care. The overconsumption of soda will most likely be the death of our pal one day. And at $3 a pop! Someone should let Don’tsney know that any Disney food cart or restaurant that has the ability to throw ice and water in a cup will do so. All it takes is the courage to ask. Let’s not even go into the crying we hear down at the office when Don’tsney gets blistering sunburns from ignoring Do’sney’s constant lectures on the importance of SPF.

Do’sney dresses appropriately, wearing just enough to stay cool but not so little as to not offend. Nobody wants to see that, sir or ma’am. For the safety and comfort of those around you, please put it away. This isn’t Mons Venus. Don’tsney lets it all hang out, New Orleans-style. Nothing is going to stop the madness that is Don’tsney’s summer wardrobe. Holes everywhere. Sometimes, those around Don’tsney are lucky that there’s even enough fabric to have holes in it! It’s difficult to look away when you’re stuck in a 120-minute wait for Peter Pan. Do’sney finds quiet areas and lessertraveled pathways like the one that takes you from behind Space Mountain in Tomorrowland to the Fantasyland Train Station. Areas like this can make all the difference on an overly crowded August day. Do’sney also likes the Morocco pavilion at Epcot for “getting away” inside the theme parks. Don’tsney tries to hit all of the most popular attractions during peak times. Don’tsney doesn’t even try to utilize Fastpass+, an easy-to-use tool that lets you reserve a ride time for all of your favorites, sometimes as many as 60 days in advance with a resort stay. So there you have it, folks! When you’re going to Disney, don’t be a Don’tsney. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

The Orlando Museum of Art has finally fully embraced the Fringe this year, opening their SunTrust Auditorium up as the festival’s Gold venue. Between the newly installed LED lights and comfy padded seats with excellent sightlines, this could become one of the best performance spaces at the Fringe, provided they can work out some sound-system snafus. So it’s appropriate that the first Fringe show to preview in this gem of a venue is John B. DeHaas’ delicately crafted song cycle Just This Once. DeHaas has been one of Orlando’s most in-demand pianists and prolific composers for nearly two decades, but this piece dates to his days as a Williamsburg, Virginia, theme park employee. The work was originally written for his 30th birthday, but DeHaas has revived it for his 50th, and most of it still feels surprisingly relevant (if endearingly naive) 20 years later. Unlike some of his other creations, this song cycle is not a fully formed musical, but a plotless series of loosely related numbers, with little movement and zero dialogue to connect them. Characters go unnamed, existing only for the length of a song, but a common theme of longing for love links the vignettes together. DeHaas’ Broadway pastiche melodies seem oddly familiar, as if you’ve always known the tune, and if the lyrics aren’t as trickily witty as some of his later work, they a bear straightforward simplicity befitting the show’s tone of insecure optimism. The cast of Just This Once is directed by local favorite Andrea Canny, and includes some of the area’s most talented singers inside (or outside) a theme park: Kevin Kelly, Kelley McGillicuddy, Paul Padilla, Shawn Walsh, Stephanie Warner and Susan Williams. Each gets a solo or two in which to shine, though my favorites were the comic combos – a barbershop ode to washboard abs, Padilla and Walsh whining about the worst dates they ever had, or Williams and Warner despairing at the deficit of suitable straight men. A few bits, like a twee lullaby with a trio of mothers-to-be, come across as overly precious, but the bulk are quite charming. The cycle’s best moments come during the full-cast opener and finale; when this entire ensemble joins their beautiful voices, the blend is something you’ll want to hear more than just once. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com MAY 20-26, 2015

Fill up the tank and hit the road to dine at these top-notch spots outside Orlando’s city limits By Holly V. KapHERR
S
ummer is road-trip season, and if you’re looking for reasons to venture into the great Beyond Orlando, these restaurants are as good as any. High-tail it to NSB’s coastline or DeLand’s horse farms (yes, DeLand), or take Highway 50 far out (and then farther!) to where ZIP codes don’t start with 328. At the end of the road, you’ll find these stellar bites.
ClerMonT
The Crooked Spoon Gastropub 200 Citrus Tower Blvd., Clermont, 34711 352-404-7808, thecrookedspn.com
Formerly a food truck famous for the “420 Burger” and helmed by the well-loved chef Steve Saelg, who passed away last year, devotees of that gut-buster now have to travel to the outer edges of Clermont to get one at this gastropub in the Citrus Tower’s shadow. Sample innovative dishes like duck consommé ramen, coconut-crusted chicken over cardamom-spiced waffles with garam masala maple syrup, and probably the best homemade potato chips we’ve ever had. The customer service is as friendly and unctuous as the lobster grilledcheese sandwich.

204 Flagler Ave., New Smyrna Beach, 32169 386-402-7864, thirdwavensb.com
Flagler Avenue’s offerings are growing by leaps and bounds, but this spot stands out. Though a hot pourover might not sound like ideal après-beach fare, maybe a scoop of ice-cold gelato or a craft brew from the tap would do the trick? Stick around for dinner under the bistro lights on the patio and order kielbasa-spiced hanger steak with sweet mustard, fresh-crunchy kale salad or a charcuterie board to share. Maybe after dinner, with the drive home ahead of you, ordering that coffee will seem like the thing to do.

from the more casual “tasting room” that adjoins. The reason to visit is the prix fixe menu that boasts both foie and filet, and don’t skip the wine pairings. (You’ve driven all this way; might as well.) If you overindulge, hey, you’re in a hotel – spend the night.

Cress Restaurant 103 W. Indiana Ave., DeLand, 32720 386-734-3740, cressrestaurant.com
Even if it weren’t hailed as one of the country’s best restaurants or if chef-owner Hari Pulapaka hadn’t been nominated for a James Beard Award multiple times, Cress would still be worth visiting because, well, the food is just damned good. Current standouts on Cress’ eclectic carte de menu include roasted butternut-and-cashew Wellington, grilled heritage pork chop with barbecued onions, and lemongrass-coconut Rendang curry, but selections change daily. If the smoked Florida fish tacos (one of our Best of Orlando winners in 2014) are on the menu, don’t pass them up.

In our tight-knit theater community, tales of the Fringe Festival Lawn are told far and wide throughout the year. Friendships are forged (and sometimes broken!) as Fringers take the opportunity to mingle not just with each other, but also with all those performers from out of town. Sure, the heat can make you feel like a walking case of swamp-ass, but the fair food is tasty, the company is unbeatable, and with every beer you kick back, there’s a good chance you’ll be suckered into a few more just to see who appears next on your people-watching safari. To top it off with a shameless plug, the free Orlando Weekly live stage hosts kickass local musicians every afternoon and into the night. The beer tent awaits! 64

Swine & Sons Handcrafted charcuterie may headline at this Winter Park takeout joint, but executive chef Rhys Gawlak’s unpretentious yet sophisticated Southern fare is the real star. His butcher sandwiches (love the pimento grilled cheese) and daily “Blue Pig Specials,” like Nashville hot chicken and coffee-grilled spare ribs, keep the small parking lot perpetually full. Desserts by noted pastry chef Alexia Gawlak guarantee endings are nothing but sweet. Don’t leave without perusing the retail provisions. 595 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park, 407-636-7601; $$
Pharmacy Pharmacy brings the speakeasy trend to Dr. Phillips, placing an emphasis on creativity in the kitchen, as well as behind the bar. Start with one of their many “elixirs” – stiff, handcrafted potions – before diving into such shareable options as roasted bone marrow with oxtail and ghost chili strawberry preserves or fried green tomato nuggets served over creamy corn curry. Mains vary by season, but what we ate – Swiss chard with sausage and pasta sleeves, and sea bass with a tableside pour of lemony Parmigiano broth – was superb. Dinner only. 8060 Via Dellagio Way, 407-985-2972; $$$$
The Boheme Restaurant Resplendent resto in the Grand Bohemian Hotel puts the “art” back in culinary arts, both in restaurant design and chef Laurent Hollaender’s creations. Escargots de Bourgogne play up Hollaender’s French heritage, but crispy fried smelt is the superlative starter. Current seasonal mains (roasted lamb loin; Maple Leaf Farms duck breast served with starfruit, spring forest mushrooms, Swiss chard and roasted marble potatoes) impress. To end, choose Momofuku-like crack pie, no doubt. 325 S. Orange Ave., 407-581-4700; $$$$

Capa Sexy rooftop resto at the Four Seasons shows off its style with Basque- and Spanish-inspired specialties and USDA Prime steaks. It’s hard to go wrong with any dish, but you’ll go right with a plate of acorn-fed Iberico ham and hamachi crudo to start. Succulent roast duck with braised

salsify, Florida peaches and pickled mustard seed is also a must. If beef is your craving, the bone-in filet is sublime, even if it sets you back $69. Desserts are all Instagramworthy. 10100 Dream Tree Blvd., Lake Buena Vista, 407-313-7777; $$$$
Francesco’s Ristorante & Pizzeria Sicilian specialties star at this Maitland ristorante, with wood-fired brick-oven pizzas stealing the show. Pastas, like the beautifully plated penne Palermitana, are worth seeking out, but be wary of mealy veal Siciliano and flavorless calamari steak. Hand-fashioned desserts like profiteroles and strawberry tiramisu make small service deficiencies more bearable. 400 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, 407-960-5533; $$

Modest joint on Curry Ford Road serves dependable pho and other Vietnamese staples. While we weren’t blown away by the bún vermicelli bowl with bland grilled pork and shrimp, the hearty beef stew banh mi served with doughy French bread and an aromatic pho tai were both stellar. A decent list of vegetarian items are offered, including fat tofu-filled spring rolls and taro-stuffed egg rolls; no desserts are offered. Open daily. 3334 Curry Ford Road, 407-930-6267; $
Boca Tampa-based boîte is the latest to make a go of this jinx spot. 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.” Pan-seared wahoo over celery puree is a hit; don’t pass up fish specials – or dessert – here. 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.

Opening this week The 100-Year-Old-Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared It’s OK if you can’t read this title without thinking of the scene in Ghost World where Enid walks into the video store and one of its monitors is advertising a little gem called The Flower That Drank the Moon: Some indie titles practically hit themselves over the head with unintentional selfparody. (One day, they’ll all be part of a film festival with Patton Oswalt/Neill Cumpston’s Thinkin’ ‘Bout Feelin’ Sad and Zoe Gets a Latte.) To its credit, 100 gives us just what we’d expect: A senior citizen who takes it on the lam from a retirement home, encountering new adventures while recounting the fabulous occurrences of his past. Plus, it’s Swedish, so it has to be good! (NR) Poltergeist Every now and then, I get really pissed off at the thought of somebody befouling Steven Spielberg’s classic Poltergeist – one of the greatest haunted-house movies ever made – but then I
remember that Spielberg himself fucked up Robert Wise’s The Haunting beyond all recognition, and suddenly my whole life seems back in balance. (And yes, I know that Tobe Hooper technically directed the ’82 Poltergeist and Jan de Bont has his name on the ’99 Haunting, but I’m going with the longstanding industry scuttlebutt that Spielberg had ultimate sway over both.) And honestly, the new P-geist has some impressive credits, including a starring role for the always fascinating Sam Rockwell, direction by Gil Kenan of Monster House and a screenplay by Pulitzer-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole, Shrek the Musical). So maybe this thing does have a reason to exist beyond reinterpreting classic material for a generation that can’t figure out what those fuzzy lines on the TV screen were supposed to be. Still, I do kind of miss the days when you could just come right out and say that the woman telling you to go into the light was a midget. (PG-13)

Tomorrowland Disney’s parks division just doesn’t know what to do with Tomorrowland. They finally ditched its original look and concept about 18 months before the Shag-led cocktail-art revolution would have made the place the height of retro-futurism. Perhaps in an attempt to avoid that sort of bad timing, the movie world’s Tomorrowland is an alternate dimension that exists totally beyond the realm of traditional time and space. No Imagineers! No furious shaking of the Magic 8-ball! No Stitch! Just a good old metaphysical mystery for families with kids too young to have worked their way up to Christopher Nolan movies. Filmmaker Brad Bird takes yet another giant leap away from Pixar, while his co-writer and –producer Damon Lindelof really, really wants you to forget what he did to LOST and Alien. Hey, in Tomorrowland, none of that might have even happened! (I hear they’re getting that swing music there any day now.) (PG) ●

Beautiful mayhem Director george Miller puts younger action-moviemakers to shame with much-anticipated Mad Max sequel By Patr i c k co o P e r
Mad Max: Fury Road
HHHHH
I
t’s been 30 years since Australian filmmaker George Miller brought Max Rockatansky to the screen. Over three films from 1979-85, Miller took action cinema to glorious new heights (well, maybe not with Thunderdome, but I’m not here to beat on that dead horse). The action was visceral, the danger was palpable, and the stunts were enormous. Many imitators followed, but no one has been able to capture the majesty and urgency of those original films. With the current state of CGI, stunts have been reduced to animations that never feel as remarkable as the real thing. There are some exceptions (the recent Raid series comes to mind), but for the most part, contemporary action films toss out any concept of reality in an asinine competition to one up each other. And people eat it up. CGI superheroes punching robots bring in billions while there’s no end in sight to a franchise where beefcakes drive cars out of skyscrapers only to adjust their shades and ride away. With Mad Max: Fury Road, 70-year-old Miller has made younger filmmakers seem like dinosaurs. The fourth film in the series is head and shoulders above other modern action films. That’s because Miller still thrives on the kind of precise craftsmanship and ingenuity that seems to pass by

the likes of James Wan and Michael Bay. All of the classic aspects that make for good action cinema – a sense of spatial awareness, editing tempo, real goddamn stunts – still matter to Miller, and Fury Road is like a gift for everyone fed up with the silliness and shaky cams plaguing action flicks nowadays. Stepping in for Mel Gibson, Tom Hardy plays Max. And this might be the maddest he’s ever been. Like he was in The Road Warrior, Max is driven by self-preservation, but this time he’s haunted by visions of those he left behind. Early on he’s captured by warlord Immortan Joe, played by Hugh Keays-Byrne, the original baddie Toecutter in the first film. Max is brought to the Citadel, Joe’s desert compound where his pale, bald War Boys worship him and he divvies up the resources to begging castes. The series has had its share of over-thetop villains, most notably the homoerotic hockey-masked Lord Humungus, aka the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll-ah. I’ve personally always favored the Toecutter for his Shakespearean mannerisms. Immortan Joe fits nicely in this rogues gallery. He’s like a chubby, white-haired Darth Vader (breathing apparatus and all). His sidekick, Rictus Erectus, is a nice heir to Wez, the strongman with a mohawk in Road Warrior. Max spends most of the first act muzzled and chained to the front of a War Boy car. While he’s tied up in the film’s early stages, the focus turns to Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), the one-armed driver of Joe’s War Rig trusted with making gaso-

line runs for the Citadel. During her latest run, she attempts to secretly deliver some human cargo to safety: the Five Wives that make up Joe’s personal harem of breeders. In a thermonuclear wasteland, healthy babies are rare. These women are meant to birth Joe’s legacy. Max is begrudgingly swept up in their escape plan, as is War Boy Nux (Nicholas Hoult), who surprisingly has one of the strongest characters arcs in the whole film. While this may be a Mad Max film with Hardy getting top billing, Fury Road is at its core about Furiosa. Played with a cool physicality by Theron, she is the film’s beating heart and its real hero. Typically when there is such a strong female lead in an action film, her femininity is replaced with an overt masculine badassness. Or she has to dress in something tight and shiny so it’s easier to use her sexuality as a weapon. This isn’t the case with Theron, who always feels like an actual woman, using her fighting and weapon skills to attack, rather than what’s between her legs. The Five Wives – Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley, Riley Koegh, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee and Courtney Eaton – even get their own arcs. While in any other film they would be treated as plot devices to be abused by the baddies, Miller gives them all their moments to be actual human beings. Miller has managed to make his three decade-old franchise more sophisticated, but without losing any of that “fuck the world” charm that made the originals so special. There’s an excessiveness and brutal beauty to Fury Road that feels simultaneously wild and completely controlled. It’s also a relentless blast from start to finish. The set pieces left me shaking with giddiness in my seat and each new bizarre, fetish-infused bad guy had me squealing with joy. The production and costume design are incredibly detailed and there’s lots of stuff only shown for a split second (a Brannock Device used as a gas pedal, for example). As a fan of the originals, I do wish there were more downtime in between chases. From its first minute to the last, Fury Road barrels along, barely leaving any time for character-driven drama or gallows humor. Some of the CGI color correcting I could’ve done without, and don’t get me started on the guitar guy. All of these complaints are minor, however, and never take away from the beautiful vehicular mayhem that Miller has gifted to our eyeballs. I sincerely hope all the action movie hacks take note and start giving a damn about things like authentic stunts, cutting, geography and other aspects Miller pulls off with heaps of imagination and superior craftsmanship. In a summer weighed down with empty popcorn blockbusters, Fury Road is the real deal. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

From the seemingly bottomless
talent well of Orlando progressive hip-hop clan the Solillaquists of Sound comes yet another combination: the pairing of lead vocalist Alexandra Love (Sarton) and producer/MPC master DiVinci. It’s a brand-new project not seen before and one that, on paper, holds both appeal and intrigue because it’s inspired by jazz. The appeal, of course, is hearing Sarton sing jazz again. She’s done it before with a band and proven that it’s a beautifully natural setting for a songbird like her. But the intrigue is how the form would manifest in a new-tech pioneer like DiVinci. In only its second public performance (May 14, Lil Indies), this project was more interesting than I anticipated. Now having seen this “jazz-inspired” union, I should emphasize that “inspired” is the operative word here. This is a very contemporary, experimental take on jazz, handling it as more of a concept than a style. Sarton’s gorgeous voice hit all the timeless notes with radiance and purity. DiVinci, the digital X-factor, observes some classic touches by turning his digital pad into a piano. But he found subtle, tasteful ways to bend things in modern ways, like gradually phasing drum and bass into Etta James classic “At Last.” With zephyrs of beat science and brooding, hypnotic soul floating through and carrying things into outer space, their sound is anything but a literal interpretation of the standards. Hear their elemental translation of “Nature Boy” as a tribal space jam and you’ll know
This Toronto trio works punk and noise rock in ways that wield sonic clarity like a bazooka. you won’t be seeing them play any fancy brunches any time soon, thank god. But hopefully, we’ll be seeing more of them in general.
The BeaT
The Fidlar and Metz bill (May 12, the Social) was the undisputed boss this week. In fact, it’s been a long time since a one-two punch has been as complete a knockout as this. As good and current of a genre as it is, garage punk is more than just crowded, it’s crowded with half-steppers. Fidlar, however, is the cream, embodying the kind of thrill and fun this kind of music can capture when done right. The requisite attitude is important, and these waterboard punks practically exhale it. They stand apart through exceptional marksmanship and sharpness as both songwriters and performers. And live, they incite true excitement. The searing attack of Metz’s first LP made my annual top albums list back in 2012, so I’ve been waiting – intently, patiently – for their Orlando debut. Fidlar may have been the ones who eventually pushed the party to the brink, but Metz
charged the hardest, coming down like an airstrike and sending the first serious thunderbolt into the crowd. There’s an attitude in deeper, more extreme strata of punk and metal that production and construction should be as dirty and crude as possible. In the quest for truth, intensity or whatever, this often gets pushed to its logical but pointlessly muddy terminus. But Metz is the latest, brightest buster of that flawed hard-line logic. This Toronto trio works punk and noise rock in ways that wield sonic clarity like a bazooka, proving that it can yield greater force and torque in the right hands. In fact, for all the crazed heat they throw off, Metz’s power is a model of total focus, its sum so impressive because no energy is wasted – not on sonic wandering, not on image, nothing. It’s all loaded into the music, and it speaks for itself like an elephant stampede. Much of the ’90s indie-rock redux in swing right now is dialed into the slack, cool side of that decade. But Massachusetts intellectuals Speedy Ortiz (May 10, the Beacham) are at least doing the revival thing with some real daring. They not only choose the artier, more serrated edge of the ’90s as a start point, but they push things even further out there with their own brand of fearlessness. Live, they kicked with lots of crunch, clarity and unpredictability, validating themselves on stage as on record as one of the more musically intriguing young bands in the buzz stream right now. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Lazy Afternoon Sundays with Rich Medina Determined to school Orlando on the world’s greatest grooves, Lazy Afternoon Sundays pulls in influential DJ Rich Medina. His grand design for the night will cleverly scheme through funk, soul, Afrobeat, hip-hop and house in a push and pull that dances with your brain in turns of colorful sonic curiosities and immersive, zombifying pulses. The high-profile DJ rose to legendary status with his hip New York parties in the early 2000s that drew in regulars like Prince and Talib Kweli. His Fela Kuti-dedicated movement/party, Jump N Funk, made sure the Afrobeat went beyond dedicated circles devoted to the Nigerian virtuoso. Now smart music fans can get in on all of Rich Medina’s get-down know-how in the openair environment of the Patio, a spot that’s deceptively one of downtown’s slickest dance floors. (P.S. You can pay $25 and get entry to this show plus the next two Lazy Afternoon Sundays, or pay $40 for all that plus a T-shirt and two drinks.) – Ashley Belanger

RICH MEDINA PHOTO BY DAN RAAF
Lost somewhere in the snowballing political rhetoric of the times – gay rights, immigration, abortion rights, everything else that is built to tug our society apart with reams of bad science – is the battle to secure foods that aren’t artificially tinkered with. It’s not even mandatory for companies to label commercially available foodstuffs to indicate whether they contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms), created through DNA-changing wizardry. Why? To protect the bottom lines of big-agriculture businesses, like Monsanto, which have created so many frankenfoods that it’s hard to buy a corn chip or a soybean that isn’t genetically modified. Never mind the fact that Monsanto’s also behind the weed-killing product RoundUp, which was recently declared to be a probable human carcinogen, or that the list of Monsanto business cronies reads like a bedtime conspiracy story cast by supply-side conservatives (hello, Clarence Thomas and Donald Rumsfeld) – it’s just evolution! On Saturday, across the nation, concerned consumers will gather in public spaces to raise awareness of the lobby behind the science that makes GMOs and their related businesses such a huge concern. Locally, the proceedings will begin at City Hall downtown, march to Lake Eola (where the water is artificially colored), and then return. There will be speakers, palpable angst and worthwhile information. Also, likely, there will be tea and water donated by Dandelion Café, no poisons included. – Billy Manes EVENT

Rick Ross Gilt Nightclub can be a tricky spot to track if it’s not your default party place, but they’ve got posters plastered all over downtown alerting Orlando that Miami rapper Rick Ross will be movin’ bass in lavish Gilt on Sundays fashion this week. Ross released two records last year, Mastermind in March and Hood Billionaire in November, and just last month WorldStarHipHop debuted his official music video for new track “Quintessential” (featuring Snoop, with the amazing
MUSIC
brag “ate seafood for breakfast, y’all”) off Hood. Ross is a controversial figure despite being a proclaimed Christian: He’s condoned date rape, allegedly staged drive-bys, and he stole notorious convicted drug dealer Freeway’s name, and these are only the most notable of his rumored offenses. But they say he prays before every show, so show up early to absolve your sins before Gilt sets in. – AB 9 p.m. | Gilt Nightclub, 740 Bennett Road | 407-504-7699 | giltnightclub.com | call for price

Tig Notaro There are not enough awkward situations, not enough triple meetings with Taylor Dayne in strange eateries, for us to express our allegiance to comedian Tig Notaro. Sure, she giggles in the same pools as Louis CK and Sarah Silverman while riding Conan’s barbarian tracks into infamy – her live comedy album sold more than 100,000 copies; her podcast, Professor Blastoff, is an amazing ramble from a friend you hold most dear. But she also possesses that singular trait of some comedians – the ones that are both self-effacing and amplified, completely in character but somehow relatable and universal – which makes her winding yarns so bright and grasp-worthy. Come for the downcast gazes and shoe-shuffling of an outsider; stay for the little bursts of connection that are generated by an accomplished outsider. Good stuff, Taylor Dayne included. – BM

Bad Movie Night: Garbage Pail Kids It was the ’80s-iest of bad ’80s movies – a tale of a misunderstood preteen named Dodger (played by Mackenzie Astin!) who works in a junk shop and wonders if he’ll ever fit in. Then one day, a mysterious garbage pail from outer space that oozes green slime shows up in the junk shop, and from it emerges a slew of characters straight off those weird, shortlived trading cards that were all the rage for a hot minute in 1987. Windy Winston (who farts all the time), Messy Tessie (who is a slob), Valerie Vomit (who vomits), Ali Gator (who bites people’s toes) and other very badly designed, Cabbage-Patch-Kidgone-wrong-looking puppet characters burst forth and wreak havoc on a world inhabited by bullies sporting mullets, gold chains and bad outfits. This movie is bad – like, truly bad – and Astin signed onto the starring role without informing his father, actor John Astin, in advance. When Daddy Astin saw the script, he quickly tried to extricate his son from the project because it was so career-endingly terrible. But that didn’t work, and now his son’s nearly forgotten name is tied to this project in perpetuity. Watch it tonight at the Geek Easy and ponder how this thing ever got made in the first place. – ES

Rocket 88 They’re one of the longest-running Orlando bands still in operation, so Rocket 88’s rockabilly roll is a well-carved groove by now. Their energy and splash as a total entertainment machine has sustained remarkably well since 1992, and that’s a reliably beautiful thing. But just when you thought you’d seen all there was to see of them, they go and throw some fresh spice into the recipe. After a recording hiatus of nearly a decade, they finally released Don’t Look Back at the tail end of last year to reveal some invigorated edges of country and surf. These new accents are so flattering to the famous Rocket 88 sound that they open intriguing new possibilities and relevance to the heritage band. It’s the best reason in many years to check back in on these tomcats. Throw in the Legendary JC’s and you’ve got solid Orlando music history crammed into one leg-shaking bill. – Bao Le-Huu with the Legendary JC’s | 9 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

By R o B B R E ZS N y
ARIES (March 21-April 19) James McNeil Whistler was an influential painter in the latter half of the 19th century. He advocated the “art for art’s sake” credo, insisting that the best art doesn’t need to teach or moralize. As far as he was concerned, its most important purpose was to bring forth “glorious harmony” from chaos. But the immediate reason I’m nominating him to be your patron saint for the coming weeks is the stylized signature he created: an elegant butterfly with a long tail that was actually a stinger. I think you’ll thrive by embodying that dual spirit: being graceful, sensitive and harmonious and yet also feisty, piquant and provocative. Can you manage that much paradox? I think you can. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Renowned author George Bernard Shaw was secure in his feeling that he did good work. He didn’t need the recognition of others to validate his self-worth. The British Prime Minister offered him a knighthood, but he refused it. When he found out he had been awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature, he wanted to turn it down but his wife convinced him to accept it. The English government also sought to give him the prestigious Order of Merit, but he rejected it, saying, “I have already conferred this order upon myself.” He’s your role model for right now. Congratulate yourself for your successes, whether or not anyone else does. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “Aha!” is your mantra for the coming weeks. Keep it on the tip of your tongue, ready to unleash. This always-ready-to-be-surprised-by-inspiration attitude will train you to expect the arrival of wonders and marvels. And that will be an effective way to actually attract wonders and marvels! With “Aha!” as your talisman, all of your wake-up calls will be benevolent, and all of the chaos you encounter – or at least most of it – will be fertile. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Do you chronically indulge in feelings of guilt? Do you berate yourself for the wrong turns and sad mistakes you made in the past? These behaviors may be sneaky ways of avoiding change. How can you summon enough energy to transform your life if you’re wallowing in worries and regrets? In presenting the possibility that you might be caught in this trap, I want you to know that I’m not sitting in judgment of you. Not at all. Like you, I’m a Cancerian, and I have periodically gotten bogged down in the very morass I’m warning you against. The bad news is that right now you are especially susceptible to falling under this spell. The good news is that now you have the power to break it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In the TV comedy-drama Jane the Virgin, the fictional character known as Rogelio de la Vega is a vain but lovable actor who performs in telenovelas. “I’m very easy to dress,” he tells the wardrobe supervisor of a new show he’ll be working on. “Everything looks good on me. Except for peach. I don’t pop in peach.” What he means is that his charisma doesn’t radiate vividly when he’s wearing peach-colored clothes. Now I want to ask you: What don’t you pop in? I’m not simply talking about the color of clothes that enable you to shine, but everything else, too. In the coming weeks, it’s crucial that you surround yourself with influences that make you pop. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Are you willing to entertain an outlandish possibility? Here’s my vision: You will soon be offered unexpected assistance, either through the machinations of a “guardian angel” or the messy blessings of a shape-shifting spirit. This divine intervention will make it possible for you to demolish a big, bad obstacle you’ve been trying to find a way around. Even if you have trouble believing in the literal factuality of my prophecy, here’s what I suspect: It will at least come true in a metaphorical sense – which is the truest kind of truth of all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “Glory” is the theme song of the film Selma. It’s an anthem about the ongoing struggle for equal rights by African-Americans. I want to borrow one of its lines for your use in the coming weeks: “Freedom is like a religion to us.” I think those will be good words for you to live by. Are you part of a group that suffers oppression and injustice? Are you mixed up in a situation that squashes your self-expression? Are you being squelched by the conditioned habits of your own unconscious mind? It’s high time to rebel. The quest for liberation should be your spiritual calling. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If you’re planning on breaking a taboo, sneaking into a forbidden zone or getting intimate with an edge-dweller, don’t tell boastful stories about what you’re doing. For now, secrecy is not only sexy; it’s a smart way to keep you safe and effective. Usually I’m fond of you telling the whole truth. I like it when you reveal the nuanced depths of your feelings. But right now I favor a more cautious approach to communication. Until your explorations have progressed further, I suggest that you only discuss them sparingly. As you put your experiments in motion, share the details on a need-to-know basis. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) There are many possible ways to create and manage a close relationship. Here’s one of my favorite models: when two independent, self-responsible souls pledge to help each other activate the best versions of themselves. If you don’t have a partnership like this, the near future will be a favorable time to find one. And if you already do have an intimate alliance in which the two of you synergize each other’s quest for individuation, the coming weeks could bring you breathtaking breakthroughs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It’s a challenge to drive a car through Canada’s far north. For example, if you want to get from Dawson in the Yukon Territory to Inuvik in the Northwest Territory, you take Dempster Highway. It’s gravel road for the entire 417-mile trip, so the ride is rough. Bring a spare tire and extra gasoline, since there’s just one service station along the way. On the plus side, the scenery is thrilling. The permafrost in the soil makes the trees grow in odd shapes, almost like they’re drunk. You can see caribou, wolverines, lynx, bears and countless birds. Right now, the sun is up 20 hours every day. And the tundra? You’ve never seen anything like it. Even if you don’t make a trip like this, I’m guessing you will soon embark on a metaphorically similar version. With the right attitude and preparation, you will have fun and grow more courageous. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Aquarian author James Joyce wrote one of the most celebrated and influential novels of the 20th century. The narrative is both experimental and tightly structured. Its chaotic stream-of-consciousness passages are painstakingly crafted. (Anyone who wonders how the astrological sign of Aquarius can be jointly ruled by the rebellious planet Uranus and the disciplinarian planet Saturn need only examine this book for evidence.) Joyce claimed he labored over it for 20,000 hours. That’s the equivalent of devoting eight hours a day, 350 days a year, for more than seven years. Will you ever work that hard and long on a project? If so, now would be an auspicious time to start. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The English writer and caricaturist Max Beerbohm moved away from his native land when he was 37 years old. He settled in Rapallo, Italy, where he lived for much of the rest of his life. Here’s the twist: When he died at age 83, he had still not learned to speak Italian. For 40 years, he used his native tongue in his foreign home. This is a failing you can’t afford to have in the coming months. The old proverb “When in Rome, do as the Romans,” has never been so important for you to observe.

These are just two of the tons of dogs, cats, kittens and puppies waiting for somebody to adopt them from Orange County Animal Services. The shelter has had an incredibly busy spring, and it’s packed with adoptable pets. If you’re thinking of adopting, visit the shelter at 2769 Conroy Road, 407-396-3111, ocnetpets.com. Adoption fees are always $55 or less, and animals are spayed or neutered, microchipped and upto-date on shots before going home.
B Y D A N S AVA G E Yesterday, I found my 5-year-old son putting things up his butt in the bath. This isn’t the first time – and it’s not just a “Hey! There’s a hole here! Let’s put things in there!” kind of thing. The little dude was rocking quite the stiffy while he did it. I’m well aware of how sexual kids can be (I freaking was!), although I wasn’t quite expecting to be catching him exploring anal at this young age. I want to avoid a trip to the emergency room to extract a toy car or whatever else from his rear end, and I don’t want to see him damage himself. So do you have any suggestions of what I can give him as a butt toy? Yes, I am serious, and no, I’m not molesting him. I know he’s going to do this on his own with or without my knowing, and I want him to be safe! Just today, he proudly showed me a toy car that he stuck up his butt. I told him that it wasn’t a good idea due to the sharp bits on it, and while he may have gotten this one out, one could get stuck. Help! Helping Ingenious Son Make Other Moves
“HISMOM has handled this really well so far, and I am impressed with her clarity and calm about this situation,” said Amy Lang, a childhood sexuality expert and educator, a public speaker, and the author of Birds + Bees + Your Kids (birds andbeesandkids.com). “But NO BUTT TOYS for 5-year-olds! This is insane and will cause a host of problems – can you imagine if he says to his teacher, ‘Yesterday, I played with my butt plug!’ Instant CPS call!” I’m going to break in for a second: Do NOT buy a butt toy for your 5-year-old kid – if, indeed, you and your 5-year-old kid’s butt actually exist. I’m way more than half convinced that your letter is a fake, HISMOM, something sent in by a Christian conservative out to prove that I’m the sort of degenerate who would tell a mom to buy a butt toy for a 5-year-old. I’m some sort of degenerate, I’ll happily admit, but I’m not that sort. “This clearly isn’t a safe way for her boy to explore his body for a variety of reasons,” said Lang. “His butthole is tiny, it’s an adultlike behavior and it’s germy.” And while adults who are into butt play are (or should be) proactive and conscientious about hygiene, grubby little 5-year-olds aren’t particularly proactive or conscientious about hygiene – or anything else. You don’t want his hands and toys smeared with more fecal matter than is typical for the hands and toys of most 5-year-olds. “It’s also on the outer edges of ‘typical’ sexual behavior in a young kid,” said Lang. “He may very well have discovered this sort of outlier behavior on his own, but there is a chance that someone showed him how to do this. HISMOM needs to calmly ask her son, ‘I’m curious – how did you figure out that it feels good to put things in your bum?’ Listen to what he has to say. Depending on his response, she may need to get him a professional evaluation to make sure that he’s OK and safe. She can find someone through rainn.org in her area to help.” Regardless of where he picked this trick up, HISMOM, you gotta tell him that it’s not OK to put stuff up his butt because he could seriously hurt himself. I know, I know: You are a progressive, sex-positive parent – if you exist – and you don’t
wanna saddle your kid with a complex about butt stuff. But think of all the sexually active adults out there, gay and bi and straight, who have overcome standard-issue butt-stuff complexes. If you give your son a minor complex by, say, taking his toy cars away until he stops putting them in his ass, rest assured that he’ll be able to overcome that complex later in life. “She should tell him that she totally gets that it feels good,” said Lang, “but there other ways he can have those good feelings that are safer, like rubbing and touching his penis, and he is welcome to do that any time he wants – as long as he’s in private and alone. You can also tell him the safest thing to put up there is his own finger. But he MUST wash his hands if he does that. Nothing else, finger only.” I’m a longtime fan, but I disagree with your advice to CIS, the lesbian who wanted to add “not into trans women” to her online dating profile. I’m a straight guy, and if I met a woman online, I would want to be sure she had female genitalia under her clothes. It’s a requirement for me, and that doesn’t mean I’m not a trans ally. I’m not into people who don’t have female genitalia – should I go out on a coffee date with a trans woman just to make her feel better? Not An Asshole
There’s nothing about preferring – even requiring – a particular set of genitalia that will result in your being stripped of your trans ally status, NAA. The issue is adding a few words to your profile (“no trans women”) that might spare you from the horrors of having coffee with one or two trans women over the course of your dating life but that will definitely make every trans woman who sees your profile feel like shit. The world is already an intensely hostile, unwelcoming place for trans people. Why would someone who considers himself (or herself, in the case of CIS) an ally want to make the world more hostile and unwelcoming? Awkwardness and “wasted” coffee dates are built into the online-dating experience. Trans women who haven’t had bottom surgery aren’t going to spring their dicks on you, and you’re not obligated to sleep with anyone you don’t find attractive. I’m a cis straight woman. I went on dates with a lot of guys from dating websites (200-plus) before I got married. Just writing to say that I agreed with your advice to the lesbian dating-site user. I agree that putting negative/exclusionary notes like “no trans women” or “no Asian guys” in a dating profile is a turnoff – and not just to the excluded group. And are there really so many trans people out there that such a comment is even necessary? Are there really that many trans people out there causing massive confusion on dating websites? And honestly, if someone is trans and you wind up meeting them for coffee, what would be the big deal anyway? It’s just coffee! I don’t understand why this would be such a huge problem.
