Announcements Out and About We’re still bogged down in lease negotiations, so there’s no news yet about a new location for Flagpole. Who thought it would be so complicated? Meanwhile, we have received official notice by certified mail that we’ve got to be out of here by Dec. 31. Nice to finally hear from our landlord. Shoot, we’ve only been at 112 Foundry St. for 20 years. Adams Optics has been downtown on Clayton Street for 31 years, but now Jim Adams has moved his business around the corner to 163 Jackson St., in the block between Clayton and Broad streets. Jim says his old building was sold and the rent went up, so he moved in order to be able to continue selling glasses for $99, as he has done ever since he started Adams Optics. One man stands firm against inflation. Don’t we wish everybody would?

Update on Harold Williams Harold Williams reports some progress in his fight to overcome the paralyzing effects of a fall in his office six weeks ago that broke his neck. In a telephone conversation from his room in the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Harold and his wife, Paula, say he has about 10 more days in his hospital room and then they will move to a nearby apartment, where they’ll be more or less on their own, without nurses. Harold will go back across to Shepherd five days a week for physical therapy, but otherwise they’ll be coping with his condition on their own. Harold had been learning to operate his wheelchair with a mouth-operated air tube, but now he can control the chair with his left hand— a great breakthrough. Harold swears he can now roll out of the room without hitting the doorjamb, an accident unkindly reported in this column earlier. Harold says he is looking forward to this next stage, and he very much appreciates all the thoughts and prayers that have been sent his way. If you’re reading this, you probably know Harold. If not, he’s the Athens native who has played in The Jesters and other bands since high school and is also an accountant and partner in the firm Williams and Guined CPA and all-around good guy, who’s constantly doing things for other people and has a good word for all and a twinkle in his eye.

Turning Points In a close game like Georgia-Florida there are so many details that can make the difference: our field-goal kicker’s unerring aim, compared to their misses. Our end’s lack of understanding that a missed lateral creates a live ball, compared to the Florida defender who scooped it up. Gurley, Gurley, Gurley. His most important run was for those couple of yards that kept the last drive alive by literally the nose of the football: sheer strength of will and determination, even after being tackled behind the line. And of course that wonderful fourth-down face-mask penalty that gave us the first down that kept the ball out of Florida’s hands at the end and iced the game. The refs had their hands full all day and probably should have suspended both teams. Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com

city dope Ding Dong, the Selig Is Dead

On pp. 8 & 9, you’ll find articles from Stella Smith, who specializes in historic preservation; Nick Sexton, a UGA law student and blogger at sustainableatlantaga.com and Jennifer Grimes, a city planning graduate student at Georgia Tech; and Melissa Link, who fought the development with People for a Better Athens, on what they think should be done with this key piece of property now that Selig is out of the picture. We’d also like to hear from readers, so send your thoughts to letters @flagpole.com.

Relocating Soon to Bottleworks!

Vanity Candidates dismissed as a vanity candidate, but his decision to put $1.1 million of his own money into the race means he should be taken seriously. There are other candidates in the primary who probably should not be taken as seriously. Eugene Yu was born in Korea but emigrated with his family to the Augusta area more than 40 years ago. He’s a former Richmond County sheriff’s deputy who now runs his own business. Yu has raised less than $40,000 in contributions, although he says he has lent his campaign $202,000. I don’t think that money is going to do him much good. Derrick Grayson is a DeKalb County minister who also says he’s running for the GOP nomination, but he’s raised less than $5,000. That isn’t going to take you very far in a statewide race. On the Democratic side, Michelle Nunn has emerged as a frontrunner who has raised more than $1.7 million. She has some name recognition as the daughter of retired Sen. Sam Nunn. She has energized the Democratic Party, with many activists and elected officials already supporting her. It appears she will win the nomination without breaking much of a sweat. There are other folks running as Democrats, such as Branko Radulovacki, a naturalized citizen from what was once known as Yugoslavia who’s now an Atlanta psychiatrist calling himself “Dr. Rad.� Dr. Rad has raised $103,458, which is a commendable amount for a novice candidate, but the chances that he can overtake the frontrunner are slim and Nunn. Todd Robinson of Columbus and Steen Miles of DeKalb County also claim to be running for the Democratic nomination, but they probably won’t make much of a dent in the race. You have to admire them for trying—and maybe that’s what really matters to a vanity candidate. Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com

You see them in every election cycle: people who decide to run for governor or the U.S. Senate, even though they have never been elected to office before, have little money and are mostly unknown to the voters. You have to figure that most of them know they have no realistic chance of winning. These are “vanity candidates,� because the only thing they can hope to accomplish with a political suicide mission is the gratification of their egos. It’s a rare vanity candidate who draws more than 1 percent of the actual vote, but still they pay a large qualification fee and devote a lot of their energy to the effort. In some cases, it’s an effective way for them to drum up public notice and promote their businesses or professional careers. Herman Cain is a good example. The businessman launched his first campaign in 2004, when he ran in the Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat. Cain was an energetic campaigner and dynamic speaker, but it was clear he had no real chance to win a statewide GOP primary. The media attention Cain received as a black conservative candidate, however, gave his career a huge boost. He got a job as a talk radio host in Atlanta, launched another losing campaign for the presidency and was invited to make numerous appearances on Fox News. Saxby Chambliss’ decision to step down from the U.S. Senate next year created an opening that has attracted vanity candidates like a jar of honey attracts flies. There are several current or former officeholders running in the Republican primary for the seat: U.S. Reps. Paul Broun, Phil Gingrey and Jack Kingston, along with former secretary of state Karen Handel. Each of these candidates is fairly well known to voters, and they have anywhere from $300,000 to nearly $3 million in their campaign bank accounts. David Perdue is an obscure businessman who might normally be

comment Thomas G. Dyer: Remarkable But Unassuming Friend I first laid eyes on Thomas G. Dyer in the winter quarter of 1972, when he and I were both enrolled in Will Holmes’ graduate class in the history of the New South. I had just finished a year of active military duty, and I was none too sure of myself after such an extended absence from the academic arena. It did not help much that the class included a very erudite and composed guy who struck me as the type one would expect to meet in New Haven or Cambridge but not so much in the Athens of Georgia, at least back then. This impression was resoundingly affirmed when, early on in the course, this fellow commented on the tendency of Southern intellectuals to engage in what he described as “vicarious self-flagellation.” Still wide-eyed when I related this incident to Lyra that evening, I would never, even in my wildest dreams, have imagined that I would one day count this truly imposing figure, with an immense vocabulary fully sufficient to send William F. Buckley scrambling for his thesaurus, as one of my very closest and most cherished friends nearly 40 years after we met.

recognize any division of labor in the kitchen, where he regularly demonstrated his absolute wizardry as a cook.

A Humane Manager Tom’s attitude toward his family carried over into his work. When he assumed responsibility for any administrative or academic unit, he made it a point not simply to urge those under his charge to drop into his office but to drop into theirs also. This was in no sense mere managerial artifice, for Tom was a genuinely thoughtful and caring person who would soon know not only the names of all the people who worked under his supervision, but the names of their spouses and offspring as well. For my money, there is no greater compliment to a leader in the academic world than the personal regard he or she enjoys among those charged with holding together the real world of leaking pipes, cracking paint and worn tires.

An Unlikely Pair As friends, Tom and I were an unlikely pair. I was certainly no match for him intellectually, and even at that point, he had already read more books than I ever knew existed. Still, we seemed to hit it off, and I began to understand why a little better after discovering that we shared a common indelible recollection of going into town with our dads in battered pick-ups crusted over with cow manure and having the almost predictable misfortune of encountering practically every good-looking girl in our high school class. Even so, neither of us was the least bit inclined to deny our rural roots, and in fact, we launched into vegetable-gardening contests and other such activities designed to show whose agrarianism was actually the strongest and purest. Tom and Anna were still more or less newlyweds when we met them in 1972, and we were anticipating the arrival of a baby almost any day. Even if I could still recall all of it, I would not know how to put into words how much fun we had, but this may well be a case where the specifics are best consigned to oblivion anyway. As our careers took us in different directions, we were blessed to maintain the kind of friendship with them where the miles between us didn’t matter, and bless their hearts, the Dyers were always there for us whenever we managed to conjure up any sort of excuse to make a return visit to Athens. Indeed, we had just descended on them a few hours before Elizabeth was born, and it was obvious immediately that she had staked a special claim on her dad’s heart. No one was less inclined to tout his own achievements than Tom, but though he strove mightily not to come across as the proverbial proud papa, Elizabeth quickly rendered this an utter impossibility. That said, while comprehensive and unconditional, Tom’s love for Elizabeth was not the smothering kind, and his parenting style was, by her own account, a bit on the Socratic side, premised I’m sure on his confidence in her ability to use her innate intelligence and good judgment to sort through her options in life and settle on the best one for her. Although Tom would insist that all the credit for how well this approach has clearly worked out belongs to Elizabeth, his parenting M.O. will doubtless strike a familiar chord with the multitude of deeply saddened former students who are now singing his praises online and elsewhere. I have always thought that in a truly strong marriage, both partners know that they can take each other’s love and support for granted but for that very reason make it a point never to do so. By this standard, Tom and Anna’s union was truly a thing of beauty and built to last. Where Anna was concerned, even the little things were big things to Tom. He might have a thousand and one things on his mind, but none of these was ever important enough to prevent him from showing his love and appreciation to her. From the moment she left for the store, he was on guard for her return, determined that she should not be left to carry the groceries up the stairs by herself. Nor did he

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 6, 2013

Nobody enjoyed a good laugh at his own expense more than Tom Dyer; another certainty about him is that he never met a pun he didn’t like, and whether or not you liked it, even on the first occasion he pulled it on you, mattered but little to him. In fact, he perfected the fine art of making a decidedly comedic ritual of inflicting the very worst of his puns on you again and again. Despite his tremendous sense of humor, Tom Dyer did not necessarily suffer fools any more gladly than anyone else, but, ever the realist, he was also fully aware of their profusion, even in the hallowed ranks of academe, and thus he understood that certain things might only be accomplished by suffering them patiently and tactfully, up to a point, at least. I do not mean to imply that his patience and forbearance were merely strategic, for he was one of the genuinely kindest and most charitable people I have ever known. He abhorred gossip and refused to take any satisfaction in the troubles of anyone else, regardless of his own strictly guarded impression of the person in question.

Any number of Tom’s administrative accomplishments and contributions could have been career makers in and of themselves, even if some of the most important of them were rendered largely out of the spotlight. Tom held a reciprocally deep and abiding affection for this institution easily comparable to that of any of the biggest, barkingest, red-britcheswearing Bulldog boosters who ever lived. Tom’s affection was by no means blind and uncritical, however; it was precisely because he loved the University so much that he wanted to make it better. The striking success and lasting importance of the minority-faculty recruiting effort that he spearheaded in the 1980s was in no small sense simply an expression of his determination to do what it took to do what clearly needed to be done. His efforts to integrate the living and the intellectual environments on the campus made fewer headlines perhaps, but it facilitated a much more meaningful and satisfying university experience for hundreds of students searching for life beyond fraternity or sorority row.

A Talented Historian As marvelously effective as Tom was in academic administration and leadership, he was no less talented and dedicated as a historian, and I make bold to say that through it all, history remained his first love. His dissertation and subsequently published book on Theodore Roosevelt and the idea of race could easily have passed as the work of a distinguished senior scholar. Nuanced and sophisticated, it offered insights into Roosevelt’s behavior that were hailed as absolutely brilliant and original when they were recycled in another book on Roosevelt published thirty years after Tom’s. The History of the University of Georgia that Tom wrote in conjunction with its bicentennial broke new ground by demonstrating how wonderfully useful and instructive it can be to place the history of an institution of higher learning within the broader state, regional and national experience. Johns Hopkins University Press nominated Secret Yankees, Tom’s study of unionists in Civil War Atlanta, for the Pulitzer and the National Book Award, and well they might have, for it was as brilliantly conceived, meticulously researched and beautifully written a book as I have ever had the pleasure of reading. How in the world he managed such a magnificent scholarly achievement with all of the administrative responsibilities he was shouldering at the time, I will never know. When I reflect on Tom’s passing, nothing makes me sadder than to think of his thwarted desire to devote part of his retirement to preserving and illuminating his own historical roots. He could hardly have been more thrilled when he traced his lineage from Missouri back to ancestors who arrived in Virginia around 1770, even if the discovery left me more or less obliged to observe that the Cobbs had already been there some 135 years at that point. The addition in 2010 of both his family home and the nearby community church to the National Register of Historic Places was truly a triumphant moment for him and every bit as much a testament to his dedication to meticulous research as any of his excellent published monographs. The same was true of his work on a history of his family farm in Missouri. I once expressed my indebtedness to Tom for repeatedly convincing me that his writing was going even worse than mine, and it was a real treat to see him so excited, even if it meant hearing a good deal more about hemp production in Saline County, MO, than I ever dreamed it was possible to know. William Faulkner came close to capturing perhaps the most painful aspect of the untimely loss of someone we love in describing “tomorrow night” as nothing but “one long, sleepless wrestle with yesterday’s omissions and regrets.” After a wonderful visit with Tom and Anna out at the farm in Missouri last September, Lyra and I came back dismayed that we seemed to see the Dyers so infrequently back in Athens and vowing to change that. Less than two months later, though, Tom was diagnosed, and the rest, all too quickly, was history. If a person’s impact on those around him may be gauged, however perversely, by the number of people he left behind who always meant to thank or commend him but never got around to it, then Tom was a phenomenal human presence during his lifetime. If, beyond that, someone’s full and enduring measure lies in how little he actually sought or coveted all the thanks and praise he rightly deserved, then Tom Dyer was truly a man for the ages.

With Selig Gone, What’s Next?

How to Encourage Better Development The Selig development’s enormous scale, bland appearance and corporate use ignored many people’s goals and desires for downtown Athens. The inability of city officials to slow or prevent approval of the plan was both shocking and enlightening. Now that Selig has officially pulled out, we have a great opportunity to figure out exactly what we want in this part of downtown and what changes need to occur to get it. The development’s overwhelming focus on luxury student housing was a major complaint by many, but student housing likely provides the least financial risk for residential developers. A downtown site caters to two major demands of students: proximity to campus and proximity to bars and restaurants. Downtown is a natural fit for students, but a more awkward fit for people in other stages of life. Until this changes, student housing will likely be the primary focus of residential developers. To make downtown a truly livable place for a wider variety of people, it needs to offer far more everyday amenities. The frontrunner in this category is clearly a grocery store. Not a co-op, not an expensive organic marketplace, but a basic neighborhood grocery store that caters to most people’s needs and wants. General retail is also needed. The boutique shops that comprise most of downtown retail beyond food and drink are wonderful stores but are of limited use. Downtown needs affordable options for basic goods to attract a wider variety of residents. Unfortunately, most new developments must charge high rents, which means larger national brands are the most likely new tenants. We may have to deal with this in order to make downtown more versatile. Even if we can’t dictate the exact businesses that will comprise a future site development, we can address some zoning standards to potentially improve the size and aesthetics of any future development. This part of downtown is zoned Commercial-Downtown (C-D) and is located outside of the Downtown Historic District. While the C-D zone has some basic design standards, they are nowhere near as detailed as the historic district’s. Perhaps annexing this part of downtown into the historic district would solve many of the aesthetic issues many people had with the Selig development. However, considering the restrictive nature of these standards, such potentially onerous requirements on the land could possibly dissuade future investment. A major criticism of the Selig project was that it didn’t conform to the scale of the rest of downtown Athens. One way to prevent this problem from occurring in the future would be to revise residential density downwards. Currently, 200 bedrooms per acre are allowed in C-D zones. This is roughly eight times as dense as any other commercial zone. It’s important to note that this density is perfectly fine if residents aren’t reliant on the automobile, but many downtowners and future downtowners are or will be reliant to some degree on a car for transportation. The zoning code recognizes this and requires off-street parking for residential units. Until we create a more versatile downtown where residents can do most of their errands by bike or foot or create a more

comprehensive, reliable mass transit system, this density dedicates too much land to needed parking and potentially creates localized traffic congestion. The same concern was voiced regarding commercial density. Unlike other commercial zones, C-D zones have no maximum square footage requirements for retail or convenience stores. Creating a maximum seems like an obvious solution, but perhaps this wasn’t done with the idea that other safeguards, combined with small downtown lots, would ensure conformity in scale and aesthetics. One such safeguard is the floor area ratio (FAR). The amount of floor space allowed on a lot is directly tied to the area of the lot, ensuring an aesthetically balanced structure. C-D zones have a FAR of five, meaning the total floor space can be five times the area of the lot. This effectively limits the scale of development; when all lots are roughly the same size, it creates conformity without a maximum square footage requirement. However, this doesn’t protect conformity when multiple lots can be combined to create a super lot and, consequentially, a development that seems out of place. A progressive solution may be to use both minimum and maximum lot size requirements. While changes are necessary to foster desirable growth, we should be cautious not to deter downtown development. Even infill development that doesn’t meet our standards is better than leveling a forest and creating more sprawl. Development will occur. If it’s not in downtown Athens, then it will be on undisturbed land in Oconee County or along some suburban highway. We should make changes to create better infill development, but we should be careful not to be too restrictive in our solutions. Nick Sexton and Jennifer Grimes

Preserve Downtown’s Historic Warehouses After two years of controversy, Selig Enterprises has pulled out, leaving probably a majority of Athens to breathe a sigh of relief over this project’s demise. While most of us agree that the former Armstrong & Dobbs property is a prime piece of real estate and should be developed, it just needs to be developed in a little more Athens-friendly way. The development, which clearly belonged in metro Atlanta, would have demolished all the historic structures on the property and replaced them with generic-looking student housing and parking decks. While many of the Armstrong & Dobbs warehouses and surrounding buildings are in poor shape, if not ruins, not all of them are. Creating the most controversy was the proposed demolition of the building that formerly housed Jittery Joe’s Roasting Co. In an effort to save the historic structure, Jack Crowley’s downtown master plan proposed moving the building across the street and incorporating it into a park in front of the Multimodal Center. Moving the building may no longer be necessary. Though the roaster has gone to the Quonset huts on Barber Street, there’s now a possibility that something else could take its place in the former beer warehouse built

in the 1920s. Like the roaster, many of the buildings Selig planned to demolish were contributing structures within the Athens Warehouse Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places, the only totally non-residential historic district in Athens. It’s largely comprised of late 19th and early 20th Century brick structures that originally served as warehouses, commercial structures and depots. Though the district is not architecturally unique, it serves as a great—and large— example of turn-of-the-century development patterns in small Southern towns. Perhaps more importantly, the district serves as a time capsule for Athens’ industrial heritage. It denotes a time when Athens was a center of industry in the South and railroads, not four-lane highways, were the means to transport goods. A large portion of the Warehouse Historic District was to be torn down to make way for the Selig development. While the Jittery Joe’s building garnered the most attention, two other contributing structures to the district were slated for demolition—a warehouse constructed in 1918 and a former cotton shed built between 1903–1908 and used as storage for the F.M. Coker Cotton Warehouse (Flagpole’s office building, for now). Several other buildings on the Armstrong & Dobbs property were slated for demolition, though they are non-contributing structures, and some are just outside of the historic district. Other buildings located within the Warehouse Historic District that were not a part of Selig’s plans include: the F.M. Coker Cotton Warehouse, the Farmer’s Hardware Building (aka Farmer’s Exchange Lofts), the Hodgson Oil Refinery, the Foundry Street Warehouses and the Foundry Park Inn & Spa. These old commercial buildings on the Armstrong & Dobb property may very well be torn down for future development, especially considering that some of them are non-contributing structures in disrepair. Even if the future holds new development in this part of town, like the R.E.M. steeple, these historic structures should be adaptively reused and preserved, not demolished. Keeping every old building in town is not feasible, efficient or desirable, but those buildings that have been deemed important, such as those that contribute to a historic district, should be preserved and reused. Stella Smith

Bring Back the River District Selig Enterprises’ plan for a massive 10-acre compound of high-rise, student-apartment-coated parking decks on downtown’s doorstep has officially bitten the dust. For the many local activists who opposed the project from its initial announcement in November 2011 all the way through the redesign, official submission and approval this summer, all that yelling and screaming, both online and at the podium, all those phone calls, sleepless nights, calls for action, and constant meetings have paid off—for now. Some of us never gave up. Even after the project got the go-ahead from the Athens-Clarke County Mayor and Commission, we obtained open records, sent emails, made phone calls and, yes, consulted attorneys.

Who knows if any of this influenced Selig’s decision to pack it in? Their official story about changes in the marketplace is definitely believable, and community outcry certainly stalled the project, allowing several other projects to get the jump on the downtown luxury student housing market. At this point, one wonders if even those already under construction stand much chance of making it in the new economy. But we also must wonder if GDOT didn’t like the plan to reroute two lanes of state highway into a dog-leg down what is essentially an alley (Foundry Street) to take a left turn up the steep hill of East Broad Street. Or perhaps the State Historic Preservation Office stepped in to protect a National Register Historic District and historic rail corridor. The ACC Future Transportation Corridors Concept Map shows both a rail-trail and an extension of Hickory Street traversing the property and connecting to UGA’s North Campus at Thomas Street. But the Selig development would have obliterated intended connective corridors between the Multimodal Center, the rails-to-trails project running parallel to Oconee Street, the park-and-ride lot a mile to the southeast and the region’s largest employer, the University of Georgia. There was an alternative, but Mayor Nancy Denson, who was snuggly with Selig from the beginning, effectively killed the Blue Heron/River District project proposed by the now-defunct ACC Economic Development Foundation and local developers in 2010. Blue Heron was a $25 million public-private partnership proposal to lure business, tourism and research development to the area between downtown and the North Oconee River. The Armstrong & Dobbs tract between East Broad and Oconee streets was to make up the lion’s share of the district. ACC officials had misgivings about voters’ willingness to support bonds to fund the project. Denson then delayed the release of a warm, fuzzy economic feasibility study that projected Blue Heron would bring $4.2 million in tax revenue and 2,500 jobs with average wages of $65,000 until after Selig acquired an option to buy the property. She then called an illegal, closed-door meeting to cancel hiring a project manager in September 2011, revealing that a private developer had gained rights to the property and Blue Heron was no longer feasible. Two months later, Selig announced its plans, and the rest is history—along with the Selig project. While the mayor served as Selig’s head cheerleader all the way through the planning process, open records reveal that ACC did not inform nearby property owners of a December 2012 pre-application conference with Selig, one that also excluded the commissioners whose districts were affected: Kelly Girtz, Alice Kinman and Harry Sims. Planners subsequently brushed aside concerns about the development from the Transportation and Public Works and Leisure Services departments, the Greenway Commission and the Rail-Trail Committee. When the project came up for the final vote, citizens lined up by the dozens to plead for a delay. ACC Planning Director Brad Griffin, Manager Alan Reddish and Attorney Bill Berryman shrugged off the corridor issues in an expertly choreographed tap dance. Commissioners Jared Bailey, Jerry Nesmith and George Maxwell sensed something was rotten, but Commissioner Kelly Girtz’s last-minute compromise to improve bike and pedestrian access through the development provided enough of a rose-colored smokescreen to obscure the project’s very real transportation problems. As the dust of Selig’s folly settles, let us take a step back to three years ago and see if perhaps Blue Heron can rise again. Don’t count on Mayor Denson to lead the charge. “I am very sad to see what I considered a very good project for our downtown, built by a reputable company who build to keep and manage versus a speculative build-and-flip project, abandoned,” she said. Add to that the fact that the EDF has been dismantled and replaced with an Economic Development Department overseen by ACC Manager Alan Reddish, who had nothing good to say about Blue Heron from the beginning. The fact of the matter is, for the most part, the project complied with the ACC zoning code. Another one just like it or worse could come on its heels if the powers-that-be do not start to heed our adopted plans and policies. We should also move to implement new regulations dictating reduced density, updated parking guidelines, historic and natural landmark protections and a greenway overlay zone to guide appropriately scaled and buffered development along alternative transportation corridors to ultimately encourage their use. It is now up to everyone out there who hated Selig’s plan to barrage the Mayor and Commission with pleas to prevent a similar fiasco from ever happening again. Let them know you really mean it by showing your faces at City Hall the first Tuesday of every month wielding pitchforks at the podium until they follow through. Melissa Link

A Garden of Eden

Remembering UGA’s First Botanical Garden T

he State Botanical Gardens of Georgia are one of Athens’ treasures, and as the leaves turn and the air grows cooler, their South Milledge Avenue grounds offer a heavenly place for visitors to jog or stroll. Few, however, realize that an equally beautiful predecessor was once only blocks from the edge of North Campus. From 1833–1856, a lush four-acre botanical garden existed in the residential neighborhood directly west of downtown and was home to all manner of exotic trees, herbs and flowers. Some of these plants’ descendants still thrive in the area, unremarked by most passersby, and some of the original trees still tower over the town. Now this largely forgotten piece of Athens history has been commemorated. On Tuesday, Oct. 29, the Athens Historical Society unveiled a marker on Pope Street detailing the garden’s history, capping one University of Georgia professor’s long effort to have the site honored.

the iron fence around North Campus and the now-iconic Arch at the entrance. Hubert McAlexander, a retired English professor, has been interested in the garden for many years, poring over accounts of it in various histories of the university and wondering about its past—where the entrance gates were; what trees might survive from it. A Chinese umbrella tree from the era stands in his yard. A neighbor’s house is built around what had been Ward’s residence across from the garden. “It’s just so fascinating,� he says. Two years ago, McAlexander hatched the idea of a historical marker when Vince Dooley, best known as UGA’s former football coach, made a presentation to McAlexander’s book club on his History and Reminiscences of the University of Georgia. To McAlexander’s delight, Dooley, who has also published a book on gardening, mentioned the former botanical garden in his talk. None of the other members

Hubert McAlexander (right) greets attendees after dedicating a historical marker at the former site of UGA’s botanical gardens on Pope Street. In 1833, Malthus Ward, the first professor of natural history at UGA, founded the garden in a small dell bordered to the south and west by oak and hickory woods. A brilliant horticulturist, Ward soon cultivated the area into a paradise that featured unusual tree species— cypress, gingko, Chinese umbrella trees and willows, to name a few—as well as a conservatory full of then-oddities such as pineapples and passion flowers. Ward’s project carried out President Abraham Baldwin’s early proposal that the University of Georgia should contain “a plat of land where agricultural experiments might be made and observations in Botany and Natural History be taken.� Charles Lanman, who visited Athens in the 1840s, described the garden as “an Eden-like spot� of hills and streams. Unfortunately, budget woes were just as likely to plague 19th Century universities as they are today’s institutions, and Ward soon found his garden on the chopping block when, in response to the financial fallout of the Panic of 1837, university trustees became interested in selling the garden. Ward lost his job in 1842 during cutbacks, but UGA President Alonzo Church managed to keep the garden safe until 1856, when it was finally sold for $1,000. The money was used to erect

had ever heard of it. Dooley recruited Michael Dirr, a world-renowned horticulturist who is also a retired UGA professor, to the cause. “He found a willing partner in me,� says Dooley, who holds a master’s degree in history and is on the board of trustees for the state historical society. “If [the university] hadn’t fallen on hard times, it might have still been one of the great gardens of today.� The precise boundaries of the garden are somewhat of a mystery, in part because no one has located a deed for the land. But an educated guess, based on Porter Kellum’s research, is the area bounded by Broad, Finley, Reese and Pope streets. Fittingly, in recent years some of this land is being used again for its previous purpose. Neighborhood residents have planted community gardens nearby, and UGA students have done experiments along the banks of Tanyard Branch, which, sadly, is highly polluted. McAlexander hopes that the university will embrace the garden’s history and continue to use the land for educational endeavors. “I’m so glad that this is going to be marked,� he says. “The main thing we should say that we all feel is, ‘At last!’� C.J.

Spotlight on Jim McKay Director’s Career Spans R.E.M. to Breaking Bad

Editor’s note: The University of Georgia’s Spotlight on the Arts festival includes more than 60 performances, lectures and exhibits. Please see our calendar for a full listing.

T

hirty-two years ago, Jim McKay was a college student home in New Jersey for the summer, heading into the city to catch Gang of Four. The opening act was some unknown band called R.E.M. “I was just completely flabbergasted by their show,” McKay says, speaking by phone from Los Angeles, where he’s working on a pilot. He struck up a conversation with band members afterwards, leading to a lifelong friendship and business partnership with singer Michael Stipe and a career as a writer, director and producer in film and television. His work will be the subject of a retrospective later this month as part of the University of Georgia’s two-week Spotlight on the Arts festival. McKay bought a copy of R.E.M.’s 1981 Hib-Tone single “Radio Free Europe” and played it on his radio show at Boston College. After graduating, he moved to California and reignited his friendship with Stipe when the band came through San Francisco. At the time, he was planning on driving cross-country, and six months later, Stipe called and asked him to meet him on the Life’s Rich Pageant tour in Michigan, where they took road trips together on days off. “They somehow trusted that I would bring him back in time for the next gig in the next town,” McKay says. When McKay—by that time an aspiring filmmaker documenting a Boston nursing home employee who brought in new wave bands to perform for the elderly residents—ran out of money in 1987, Stipe suggested moving to Athens. “Michael said, ‘Come to Athens,’” McKay says. “’It’s cheap. You can get a restaurant job and edit your documentary down there.’” McKay lived in Athens on and off for the next six years, washing dishes at Bluebird Cafe and forming the production company C-Hundred with Stipe, making music videos for local bands like Pylon and Chickasaw Mudd Puppies, with whom McKay also played. With Tom Gilroy, they filmed public service announcements (alternative versions of Nancy Reagan’s “Just say no” spots) on topics like environmentalism and organic farming. “They were just weird little pieces,” he says. “Again, we didn’t know what we were doing.” In 1989, McKay accompanied R.E.M. on its Green tour. The resulting concert documentary, Tourfilm, will be screened at

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 6, 2013

Ciné at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15, with a reception an hour beforehand. The $50 ticket fee will benefit the education nonprofit Whatever It Takes. If the price is too steep, even though it’s for a good cause, a $5 screening is at 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17. Tourfilm shows R.E.M. playing at a time when they had just left I.R.S. Records for major label Warner Bros. and were on the cusp of superstardom. But McKay doesn’t remember it as much different from the band’s previous tours, when they were merely college-radio darlings. “I guess it was big in retrospect, but it still seemed kind of funky,” he says. “We were just winging it. It’s an incredibly, incredibly un-slick film. It’s also a reflection of Michael’s credo in a lot of ways… one of collaboration and development.” Slowly, C-Hundred “began to lose less money,” as McKay puts it. Any profits were invested in beginning directors to buy equipment or fund their projects. “The basic premise was neither of us gets paid. If we made money, that means we can give away more money.” In 1993, McKay moved to New York and enrolled in an acting workshop. Out of it grew his first feature film, Girls Town, about a group of high-school girls dealing with a friend’s rape and suicide. Ciné will screen Girls Town at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, followed by 2004’s Everyday People—the story of a diner owner struggling with whether to shut down his business—at 7:15 p.m. Our Song, also about a group of New York high school girls and released in 2000, will be screened at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17. Angel Rodriguez, the 2005 tale of a homeless Brooklyn teenager, will follow at 4:30 p.m. Three of McKay’s four critically-acclaimed feature films are about teenagers, which he attributes to studying to be an English teacher. “That definitely started my interest in youth and social issues involving young people,” as well as feminism, another key theme in his movies, he says. Everyday People and Angel Rodriguez were both financed by a short-lived HBO division formed to produce films for theatrical release, although they both aired on the cable network. Through that connection, David Simon hired him to direct an episode of his HBO drama “The Wire,” launching the third phase of his career. In the past seven years, he’s probably directed one of your favorite TV shows—”Law & Order,” “Breaking Bad,” “Gossip Girl,” “Big Love,” “In Treatment” and “Treme,” to name a few. A “Treme” episode he directed will be

shown at 9:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15 at Little Kings Shuffle Club. Afterward, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, a retro New Orleans swamp-rock duo that appears in the episode, will perform. Although he’s worked on some of the most prestigious cable dramas, McKay disputes the notion that we’re living in a golden age of television—something he plans to talk about during a panel discussion with Salon.com editor David Daley at 1:25 p.m. Sunday. Nov. 18 at the UGA Fine Arts Building’s Balcony Theatre. In addition to the hundreds of channels on cable, websites like Netflix are now producing original programming. In fact, the pilot McKay’s working on is a detective show based on a Michael Connelly novel for Amazon. All that content will eventually lead to a decline in quality, he says. “There’s just so much stuff being made, it’s absurd,” he says. “It’s great that it’s being made, it’s great that people are working, but there’s no way it’s sustainable. People just can’t watch that much stuff.” He enjoys TV work, he says, but he’d prefer to be making movies. However, it’s much harder to raise money than it was a decade ago, he says. The ‘90s and early aughts were a time when Sundance buzz could lead to multi-million-dollar bidding wars among distributors. But the indie bubble burst. Now, McKay says, studios have “become like big, fat Wall Street hedge fund people,” churning out profitable explosionladen blockbusters for overseas audiences at the expense of more modest, character-driven films. He cites David Byrne’s recent essays in the British newspaper The Guardian about how economic inequality and the Internet are stifling creativity. “If the kind of super-capitalist equation is the only thing that defines the creative world, we’re doomed,” he says. “If a whole generation of kids grows up and never pays for a song, what happens to singers and songwriters?” Still, McKay has an idea for another film he hopes to somehow find the money to make. He won’t say much about it, other than it’s “a script about a female singer-songwriter who’s in her mid-career, sort of, and is just having a rough time of it.” And he remains at least somewhat optimistic that indie filmmaking will bounce back. “Maybe we’ll have an entire new generation of wonderful small films,” he says. “That’s the hope.” Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

Pride and Prejudice

UGA Fine Arts Building · 8 p.m., 2:30 p.m. (Sunday matinees) · $12 (w/ UGA ID), $16 Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s classic rom-com, University Theatre presents a stage version adapted by Joseph Hanreddy and J.R. Sullivan, under the direction of George Contini. Austen’s timeless tale has resonated strongly throughout the decades for its insight into the misconceptions and missteps surrounding romance and the complicated etiquette of dating. Set in England at the turn of the 19th Century, Pride and Prejudice follows the matrimonial matchmaking of five sisters, focusing on the passion and perils of courtship between witty, spirited Elizabeth Bennet and wealthy, arrogant Mr. Darcy. Over the course of a year as guards are gradually let down, Darcy’s “pride” and Elizabeth’s “prejudice” are reconsidered, ultimately proving that first impressions can be wrong.

grub notes A Tale of Two Burgers Fairly recently in Athens, we’ve had two new burger places open, each part of a small (or smallish) chain. Between the two of them, they kind of tell the story of food in America, the dichotomy of fast vs. slow, cheap vs. expensive, good enough vs. really good. The moral high ground is on the side of slow, expensive and tasty these days, but food choices aren’t always (or at least not always primarily) about morality.

I doubt that’s usual, but it is indicative that large crowds can be a problem for the kitchen the way things are organized now. Grindhouse is open for lunch and dinner daily, takes credit cards, does take-out, screens trashy movies and has a full bar. BURGER TWO: Cook-Out Restaurant (1097 Pkwy Blvd., between Kohl’s and Walmart off Epps Bridge), on the other hand, reminds one of where McDonald’s must have started out. The chain, out of North Carolina, aims to serve a lot of people efficiently and without bankrupting them. The place is busy, with both dine-in and two drive-thru lanes packed frequently, but orders are taken smoothly and food delivered speedily. There’s an extra menu board posted in the drive-thru before you get to the ordering station, which is a smart idea to minimize stress if you’re unfamiliar with the menu. Not that it’s super-complicated. Cook-Out focuses on burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot

BURGER ONE: Grindhouse Killer Burgers (1553 S. Lumpkin St., 706-612-9327) is the third iteration in Alex Brounstein’s miniempire, started out of the Sweet Auburn Curb Market in Atlanta, where the original Grindhouse still flips burgers behind a long, shiny counter. The location here in Athens is significantly bigger, with a downstairs where you can order at the register, sit at the bar or get table service and an upstairs that is limited to those 21 and up. The Five Points area is still relatively lacking in bars (Aromas, The Royal Peasant, Marker 7 and Five & Ten are your only other options), especially considering the residential population within a couple of blocks’ radius, so Grindhouse seems ready to pull in some folks for sporting events and regular blowing off of steam. The building is attractive, designed by locals E + E Architecture with lots of hard surfaces, brushed metal and pretty details.

Here, There, Everywhere Place and Time and Television

“The difference between downstairs and upstairs seating is like night and day. Downstairs is like a sports bar, and upstairs is like a fine dining restaurant. It’s also a ton quieter upstairs as well, and there’s a whole other separate bar (would be great for renting out for holiday parties!).” —Kenny C., from a Yelp.com review of St. Andrew’s Pub, 140 W. 46th St., New York, NY

On

Mar. 2, 1974, a newly formed band called Television staged its first-ever performance at the Townhouse Theatre, located at 140 W. 46th Street in a near-bankrupt New York City. At present, things have changed, and they’ve changed all over. Even the band’s more well-known scenes of sonic activity have undergone transformations. Max’s Kansas City closed its doors in 1981; its space is currently occupied by a Korean deli. On the Bowery, the infamous CBGB club now houses a retail location for menswear designer John Varvatos. Some of the “rock memorabilia” of CBGB has been granted immunity and allowed to retain some nostalgic space in Varvatos’ store—alongside $2,000 jackets, of course. If all that remains of these punk meccas is a few token physical remnants, so be it. One can surmise that nostalgia played little role in the game plan Television laid forth at the outset. The fashion of the New York City punk scene was never the group’s focal point, leaving the iconic leather to forerunners like the Ramones. Stylistically, the members of Television galvanized as much as they divided, ascribing to the portions of the punk aesthetic they wished to emulate (musical economy, individualistic attitude) and discarding what they regarded as unnecessary (simplistic harmony, party-line subject matter). Standing in for stereotypical punk moves were lyrical images drawn from French poetry and guitar heroics that echoed the great American electric tradition. The weight of these choices cannot be understated today. Punk’s lean meat was meant to carry with it a raw liberation from rock music’s stodgy, early-’70s development into haughty, experts-only prog dross. By re-asserting the improvisatory guitar solo as a major aspect of its futuristic version of punk,

Television played the role of pariah in the eyes of the purists. Communistic egalitarianism! No experts allowed! Up the punks, and up the punks only! But Television’s classic lineup—vocalist and guitarist Tom Verlaine, guitarist Richard Lloyd, drummer Billy Ficca and bassist Fred Smith—had a greater grasp on the psychic immediacy that punk could offer than these crusty naysayers. Through their bold improvisations and signature rave-ups, they remembered their forebears’ implicit statement of intent: embodiment of the present via psychedelic searching. The solos on the band’s ‘70s LPs, Marquee Moon and Adventure, picked up a frayed thread once carried by the Byrds’ Roger McGuinn on “Eight Miles High,” by John Coltrane on “A Love Supreme” and by the traditional Indian music that turned Coltrane’s mind towards a life of spiritually inquisitive performance. By fusing that timeline with the basics-first restraint practiced by the Velvet Underground, the Modern Lovers and other contemporaries down on the Bowery, Television created a perfect balance between punk’s insistence on an absence of frills and psychedelic rock’s personal exigency. So what if the locations the group once vibrated with its mighty, brainy sound no longer bear the same names—fuck it. Television was always about living in the moment. All is fluid along time’s unforgiving trajectory.

So

that’s our history lesson. What of the sky-struck rando development that is Television’s current three-stop U.S. tour? What do audiences in San Francisco, Austin and Athens (and abroad) have to expect from a band that has been off-and-on (with an emphasis on “off”) since 1992? Band members weren’t available to interview, so we have to glean scant facts where we can find them. We do know that Richard Lloyd is no longer with Television, following an amicable break in 2007. In his place, an old-hand session man named Jimmy Rip is playing alongside Verlaine. The interplay between Verlaine and Lloyd is a crucial element of Television’s delicate chemistry, but fans may find some solace in the information that when Mick Jagger records or performs solo, Rip has traditionally been his guitarist of choice. (Take that however you wish, but at least admit that Rip is no stranger to filling considerably sized boots.)

We might turn to a few archival resources to get an idea of what the most in-the-moment punk band ever might be like in front of our own eyes. The group’s most popularly known live document, The Blow Up, sees it wholeheartedly embracing the past with a slack take on Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” doused with harmonics and deliberate group dynamics. It emphasizes the fact that Television rarely employs textures that showcase a single instrument: it is a unit force, reliant on each member’s presence to fully inhabit a collective sound. Another live album with superior sonic quality, Live at the Waldorf, takes the group to the historically loaded setting of San Francisco and sees it both shine and blast. The rhythm section’s playing could almost be described as delicate on “Venus,” while “Foxhole” rides a wave of cool menace. And while the term “rave-up” is almost a cliché when discussing the first hippie punks, Television neatly defines the term at the close of “Ain’t That Nothin’,” among other songs. Finally, a BBC performance available on ye olde YouTube betrays Ficca’s traditional “jazz grip”; the viewer bears witness to the band’s sublime nonchalance. While Verlaine’s leads—circuitous, unpredictable, a personification of electricity—are what define the group’s controlled improvisations, it should be understood that there isn’t a moment of recorded Television that one would describe as “aimless.” An alternate version of the band’s signature song, the sprawling tone poem “Marquee Moon,” nearly exactly matches the album version in duration. The expansive vision that Verlaine and company set forth way back in 1974 can be viewed as an insistence on maximum exploration while remaining firmly in the now. That is, it doesn’t matter where you are, as long as you’re right there. Jeff Tobias

ocal keyboardist and bandleader Lefty Hathaway has long been known for his steadfast blending of musical styles. Funk, jazz, rock, soul, blues: they all fit cozily into the talented Hathaway’s wide-ranging repertoire. To a novice, it can be somewhat overwhelming. Thankfully, on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at Hendershot’s, Hathaway and his band will kick off a monthlong residency that aims to break it all down. “Really, the concept was, we have so many different kinds of influences,� Hathaway says. “And a lot of people like to meld those influences into one night, but sometimes the intent gets lost in translation. That’s what happens a lot with jam bands. They’ll have a polka-bluegrass thing that goes into a wild fusion, Weather Report thing. It gets so muddled. We thought, ‘We have four weeks—why not break it up?’� On Wednesday, Hathaway and his bandmates—longtime drummer Mike Strickland, along with recent recruits Daniel Bell on guitar and bassist Greg Cooler—will explore their funk and soul roots, diving deep into the catalogs of greats like Stevie Wonder, Billy Preston, Dr. John, the Meters and more. The following week, on Nov. 13, the group will host a hip hop night, backing up local MCs, including Dwayne “JuBee� Webb and Elite tha Showstoppa, in a highly improvisational fashion. “You’ve gotta see what the MCs moods are, what their cadence is,� says Hathaway, who played in a live hip hop outfit prior to his move to Athens. The third show, on Nov. 20, has been designated the “blues and country� week, when the band will run through tunes by New Orleans legends like Allen Toussaint and Professor Longhair, as well as Taj Mahal, JJ Cale and many more. The band will perform a selection of its own material during all its appearances, which will also feature various special guests. (“We’ve played with a lot of people. And we know a lot of bands in town,� says Hathaway.) But the fourth and last show on the schedule, on Nov. 27, will be strictly dedicated to showcasing Hathaway and company’s originals. The set will reportedly be heavy on unreleased material, songs the band is working on finetuning for inclusion on its upcoming second studio album, the follow-up to last year’s ecstatic Shacks. The new record, which Strickland drolly says is “slowly but surely� coming along, likely won’t see the light of day until next winter. But in the meantime, the band plans

to cull the best of the live recordings from its Hendershot’s stand into a digital-first double release, which will be available by summer. The point of this month’s residency, aside from the stylistic segmentation, says Hathaway, is twofold. First, it will give audiences a chance to catch the band in a loose, rehearsal-type atmosphere. And second, it will allow the band itself to explore its boundaries while simultaneously gauging audience feedback. “It gives us a chance to really focus on our performance in a casual setting,� Hathaway explains. “Not really worrying about the restrictions of a 45-minute set, or getting someone’s attention.� If you’ve never seen Hathaway live, a couple things must be made clear. That he spends large chunks of live performances focusing on revisiting music written by his forebears doesn’t mean he’s in the cover-band business. Far from it. Rather, the keyboardist and his adept crew offer their own distinct takes on the classic material, opting for brash, colorful improvisation over rote muscle memory. But lest you take that thought too far and get the impression these are a bunch of overfueled, under-focused jam-band types—that ain’t it, either. Hathaway is acutely aware of the danger presented by technical overindulgence—wankery, as it were—and takes great pains to keep his music on the good side of the taste divide. “There’s a difference,� he says with a laugh, between improv and jamming. “It’s excess versus access.� And Hathaway says his current band, which has only been together for about a year, is more poised to conquer this chasm than any he has led in the past. Until now, he says, “We haven’t been able to explore the older groovefunk stuff we grew up listening to. But when you find musicians who have those same influences, obviously it works out better.� The obvious: any opportunity to watch a performance by a group of ultra-talented musicians who have that rare, preternatural connection is special. Four chances in one month is a real treat. Gabe Vodicka

Fanning the Flames Burns Like Fire Gets Busier In pretty much any subset of the Athens music scene, there is a band that, through default or design, becomes that grouping’s galvanizing force. For the current Athens pop-punk/hardcore scene, that band is Burns Like Fire. Since starting up three years ago, the group’s four members have tirelessly played, promoted, toured, written and recorded. In other words, they’re behaving like a band should: they’re working. “We may get even busier,” says guitarist and vocalist Josh Smith. Burns Like Fire has just inked a promotional/digital distribution deal with new artist-development company Autumn and Color, which will release the digital version of the band’s upcoming five-song EP, titled To the Ground. The physical version of the EP will take the form of a split independent release between Burns Like Fire and Atlanta band Seagulls, which also contributes five songs. The smart-alecky title: I’m Too Old for This Split. Drummer Parker Bradshaw says of the new deal, “[Autumn and Color] is like the new school of indie record labels. It’s more of a partnership. They’re able to help us do things that we can’t do ourselves, like push our music to TV [and] movies.” Burns Like Fire “hit the ground running,” the group says, in 2010, though it started fomenting plans several months before. Since that time, BLF has recorded one full length record, D.F.L., a single, “King of Satire,” and the Year of the Rat EP. Except for the time the whole band was arrested in Texas on multiple dubious charges—which led to wildly varying degrees of punishment—and that time it flipped its trailer on Hwy. 316, Burns Like Fire has led a pretty charmed existence thus far. But, as the saying goes, the harder you work the more opportunity you get, and that’s where Burns Like Fire finds itself now. The band has managed to perform on bills with a host of its heroes, including legendary punk acts Bad Religion, Sick of it All, Antiseen and Propagandhi. (To wit, BLF will host an after-party atop the Georgia Theatre’s roof Wednesday after notables Less Than Jake and Anti-Flag play the main stage.) That’s not to say the group has totally avoided controversy, no matter how unintended it might be. The cover art of D.F.L. depicts a female zombie who is appropriately bloody and wound-riddled—but the underwear-at-knee-level bit feels aggressively gratuitous. Similarly, the artwork for To the

Ground features a 1940s-era photograph of two women fighting each other. Bassist and vocalist Charlie Ferlito says, “[With D.F.L.] we didn’t know how it was gonna look. We asked our buddy who’s in prison to do it, and that’s what he came up with. We’re not misogynists.” And there’s a story behind the EP’s cover and title, he says. “We had a woman come up to us at one of our shows and tell us that she was gonna ‘fuck us [beat us up] to the ground’.” Guitarist Web Couch weighs in, saying, “We didn’t mean anything offensive. We don’t see it that way. Maybe we’re too dumb to realize it’s offensive.” Of course, the imagery in question, though potentially disturbing, is also misleading: anyone who knows the Burns Like Fire dudes will readily admit they’re among the most polite and easy-to-work-with musicians in the Classic City. The band plans to get its new EP out in the next couple of months. To the Ground was recorded across a handful of sessions at Atlanta’s Gresham Park Studios, and there’s an anger and frustration present in the new tunes that seems informed alternately by exhaustion and excitement. It’s easy to see how the band could feel both. The workload won’t be slowing down any time soon: Burns Like Fire hopes to complete a new full-length album by this time next year, but in the interim, the group will be on the road as much as possible. Still, BLF has exceeded many of its goals already. “When we started, I had a list of bands I wanted to play shows with,“ says Bradshaw. “And now [having played with so many of them], I have to start making a new list.” The new relationship with Autumn and Color may help usher the band into arenas it’s not yet entered (festivals, supporting slots on bigger tours, etc.), but there’s not really any doubt that the road hogs in Burns Like Fire will keep spreading their gospel no matter what. They’re a working band, and this is what they do.

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week. • indicates new review THE ARMSTRONG LIE (R) The Academy Award winning documentarian behind Taxi to the Dark Side and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room tackles the one-time cycling hero and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong. Having won the Tour de France a stunning record eight times, Armstrong’s star quickly fell as allegations of doping turned into truths. Director Alex Gibney was able to chronicle that swift descent while filming what was originally supposed to be a doc about Armstrong’s return to cycling. • BAD GRANDPA (R) Much funnier and more poignant than one would expect from a production company named Dickhouse, Bad Grandpa expounds upon the “Jackass” sketch featuring Johnny Knoxville’s elderly alter ego, Irving Zisman. Like Borat, Knoxville and company (including director-cowriter Jeff Tremaine and cowriter Spike Jonze) capture people’s real reactions to the interactions of a naughty, oversexed grandfather and his eight-year-old grandson, Billy (Jackson Nicoll). Knoxville tests just how much patience people have for old people in sketches narratively connected as grandpa Irving takes his grandson to live with his father. The credits offer a glimpse into the fascinating filming. (A behind the scenes doc about Bad Grandpa’s making would be worth a watch.) Sure, it’s raunchy, but Knoxville never breaks character, even when Zisman’s all alone. If one can laugh at (or simply ignore) their new flick’s sophomoric hijinks, one will find the crew’s grown up…a little. BAGGAGE CLAIM (PG-13) This romantic comedy about a stewardess, Montana (Paula “Mrs. Robin Thicke” Patton), conducting a transcontinental search for a spouse wastes a talented cast (Derek Luke, Taye Diggs and Ned Beatty) in a sub-Tyler Perry situation. Many (not all) of Perry’s movies leave something to vaguely recommend, but David E. Talbert’s adaptation of his own novel does not. There’s little to nothing to see or like here. Don’t bother making this connection. BAYOU MAHARAJAH This documentary is about James Booker, a legendary pianist from New Orleans. Part of UGA’s Spotlight on the Arts Festival, this film is directed by UGA alum Lily Keber and produced by Nate Kohn, professor of Telecommunication Arts

in the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication and associate director of the Peabody Awards. (Ciné) THE BOOK THIEF (PG-13) I always intended to read Marcus Zusak’s novel before I saw the filmed adaptation. That does not look like it’s going to happen now. A tale set in Nazi Germany and narrated by Death, The Book Thief stars Monsieur Lazhar’s Sophie Nelisse as young Liesel Meminger, who steals books. “Downton Abbey” director Brian Percival’s previous feature film was A Boy Called Dad. Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson star as Liesel’s foster parents, Hans and Rosa Hubermann. BLUE JASMINE (PG-13) Oh my god! Andrew Dice Clay in a Woody Allen movie? I’m so in. Not to mention Louis C.K., Bobby Cannavale, Sally Hawkins (so good in Happy-Go-Lucky), Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin and Peter Sarsgaard. I don’t even know that I need to know what the film’s plot. (A rich woman moves in with her down to earth sister after her cheating husband loses everything.) Apparently, Allen’s back from his European sojourn, though he hasn’t returned to New York yet; this drama is set in San Francisco. (Ciné) CAPTAIN PHILLIPS (PG-13) Paul Greengrass is Hollywood’s most effective director of tense docudramas. Recounting the real life story of Captain Richard Phillips, who was kidnapped by Somali pirates and held hostage in a claustrophobic lifeboat for several days, Greengrass crafts his best film since United 93. Tom Hanks stars as Captain Phillips, and he loses his typical Hanks-ness in the dramatized reality realized by Greengrass. The lack of almost any other recognizable supporting actors (that guy, Chris Mulkey, is as familiar as it gets) helps Hanks slide deeper into a role than he has since Road to Perdition. The taut effectiveness of Billy Ray’s script certainly should not be undervalued, but will be due to the incredible work done by Greengrass, whose greatest films seem like reality unfolding before our eyes. CARRIE (R) See Movie Pick. CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 (PG) The animated family comedy, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, wasn’t quite one for which a sequel seemed necessary.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 6, 2013

he must leave his job to investigate claims that his machine is creating food-animal hybrids. This flick sounds like it barely escaped a direct to DVD launch. • THE COUNSELOR (R) Is it fair to go ahead and call The Counselor the year’s most disappointing film? Ridley Scott directs a screenplay by Cormac McCarthy (his first!) with a cast that includes Michael Fassbender, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt. All that and filmgoers are definitely left wanting by this tale of a young lawyer (Fassbender) getting involved in some shady drug trafficking. At least that’s what I think happened. McCarthy has a way with words; his dialogue shines brightly. It’s his narrative that’s far too murky. The movie simply does not tell its story clearly enough to be an entertaining film nor does it provide the pieces to be a challenging work to reconstruct post-viewing. Paced like a snail (it’s only two hours long but it feels like three), The Counselor fails on so many levels, but it’s still worth watching for the McCarthy connection. One wonders if his screenplay reads better

of fiction and highly recommend it.) Young Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield, Hugo) is handpicked by Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) to be the potential savior of humanity, which is being threatened by an alien race, and must complete against a school of young starship troopers (including True Grit’s Hailee Steinfeld) on a simulated battlefield in order to fulfill Graff’s prophetic belief. The look of Ender’s Game is strong, as are the bulk of the performances. Hood struggles to adapt Card’s more complex ideas, but he wisely chooses to jettison his brother’s Earthbound shenanigans. He also fails to adequately portray Ender’s grueling exhaustion in the Command School finale, which seems much more like a middle school graduation play than a warm-up for the potential end of humanity. Maybe that’s the movie’s biggest problem; it fails to realize that it’s more than a game. ENOUGH SAID (PG-13) This comedy from writer-director Nicole Holofcener (I really enjoyed her last two features, the wonderful Please Give and Friends with Money) seems like a wonderful way to say an all too early goodbye

Oh, there’s some chocolate on your knuckle. than it watches. Bardem, with his spiky Brian Grazer hair, gives the film’s sole standout performance. Fassbender is too coolly detached, and Pitt’s Westray would be better suited for Matthew McConaughey. Ultimately a failure, The Counselor begs to be watched. DON JON (R) Jersey boy Jon (writerdirector Joseph Gordon-Levitt) loves the ladies, his pad, his car, his family, his boys, his church and his porn. But when he meets Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson), Jon learns he might have to give up his favorite pastime. JG-L proves a technically superb filmmaker in his rookie outing. Don Jon is excellently, stylishly composed and edited without being over-directed. This awfully adult dramedy might make some viewers uncomfortable with its rather frank sexuality, especially regarding Jon’s porn watching habits. But mature audiences will enjoy an all too topical discussion of how the Internet has potentially changed young people’s sexual expectations with its easy access pornography. • ENDER’S GAME (PG-13) The filmed adaptation of Ender’s Game, written and directed by X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s Gavin Hood, is not an adequate replacement for reading Orson Scott Card’s modern science fiction classic. (I would feel remiss if I completely ignored Card’s intolerance. While I don’t condone it and wholly disagree with it, I enjoyed his work

to James Gandolfini. He costars with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Eva, a masseuse dating Gandolfini’s character, Albert. Unfortunately, her newest client (Catherine Keener) is Albert’s ex-wife, and she has nothing but bad things to say about him. The trailer left me smiling. (Ciné) ESCAPE PLAN (R) If you are feeling nostalgic for the action movies of the ‘80s/’90s, Escape Plan is for you. Structural security specialist Ray Breslin (Sylvestor Stallone) has spent most of his life breaking out of prison. His latest job incarcerates him in a secret, secure prison for really, really bad guys, where he meets Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger). The chemistry between these two aging action stars is the main draw of Escape Plan, and Schwarzenegger makes the most of it. After easing back into action movies with small roles in Stallone’s Expendables franchise and the underrated The Last Stand, the former Terminator seems to be having a lot more fun than Stallone. The movie is entertainingly forgettable, but it would benefit from a little more creativity in the casting. • FREE BIRDS (PG) More an oddity than a cute family movie, Free Birds features the voices of Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson as two turkeys, Jake and Reggie, that travel back in time to stop turkey from making the Thanksgiving Day menu. Released a

few weeks too early (no one’s ready for Thanksgiving the day after Halloween), this kiddie cartoon seemed to get more laughs from the adults in the audience. Harrelson’s militaristic idiot is much more entertaining than Wilson’s too talky turkey. Wilson is not only outdone by this co-lead, supporting voices Amy Poehler, George Takei, Keith David and Dan Fogler are all more entertaining. The strange Free Birds will not become a new holiday viewing tradition, but it’s pleasant enough to be watched once, if one has no other choice. GRACE UNPLUGGED (PG) Grace Trey is a Christian singer/songwriter and daughter of one-hit-wonder Johnny Trey. Seeking stardom, Grace leaves her small, church-centered town for Los Angeles. GRAVITY (PG-13) Yes. Children of Men filmmaker Alfonse Cuaron’s latest film is as great as you have heard. An astronaut (George Clooney) and a doctor (Sandra Bullock) must work together to survive an accident in the cold, silent confines of space. Gravity is an acting tour de force by Bullock and the most incredible special effects driven film I have ever seen. You feel like you are in space, which is simultaneously awe-inspiringly beautiful and coldly dangerous. Though a science fiction film, Gravity is the most harrowing cinematic experience I can remember. Cuaron has cured me of any lingering desires to travel into space. He has also proven himself to be the single most intriguing major filmmaker working today. Taking two mega-stars and placing them in a straight up disaster movie that is heavily reliant on special effects takes so much vision and control to keep the spectacle from overwhelming the humanity. Gravity is heavyweight genre filmmaking that never lets up. It is intense, but you cannot miss it. l HOW I LIVE NOW (R) Kevin McDonald, who won an Oscar for the documentary, One Day in September, and went on to direct a decent filmography (The Last King of Scotland, State of Play and The Eagle), tackles YA lit with this adaptation of Meg Rosoff’s popular novel. A young American teen, Daisy (Saoirse Ronan), goes to live in England right before the country comes under violent attack. This flick seems like the rare YA that lacks romantic vampires or sci-fi dystopias. The Impossible standout Tom Holland also stars. • LAST VEGAS (PG-13) What can one say about Last Vegas? The comedy is funnier than expected, and the drama is worse than one can imagine. Four old friends—Paddy (Robert De Niro), Billy (Michael Douglas), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline)—head to Vegas for Billy’s bachelor party. Hilarity ensues as horndog Sam hits on all the ladies, Paddy gripes and grimaces, Archie drinks and gambles, and engaged Billy romances an older woman, lounge singer Diana (Mary Steenburgen). Astonishingly, the gags that ensue from the aforementioned clichés are funny. The forced melodrama between Billy and Paddy, who have been fighting over girls since they were little boys, drags the entire movie down, as does the unenlightened view of old people and young people, wholly represented by hot young women and “Entourage”’s Turtle (Jerry Ferrara). Director Jon Turteltaub

smartly lets his four strong leads do their thing, and they are an appealing quartet. They work well together, no matter how unimaginative the script. However, the comedy will naturally play better to older audiences; cinematically uneducated youngsters will just be left wondering who all these old fogies are. LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER (PG-13) This crowd-pleasing slice of historical nostalgia chronicles the major events of the second half of the 20th century through the eyes of White House butler Cecil Gaines (Forrest Whitaker). With its exceptional cast— Robin Williams, James Marsden, Liev Schreiber, John Cusack and Alan Rickman—The Butler overcomes the natural tendency of such films to drift into sentimental nostalgia. MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (G) Monsters University lacks the Pixar pop of their undeniably great features (Up, Wall-E, Toy Story 3). In this prequel to Monsters, Inc., we learn how Mike (v. Billy Crystal) and Sully (v. John Goodman) met. Apparently, the two scarers didn’t start as best buds. First, they were scaring rivals at Monsters University. This Revenge of the Monster Nerds doesn’t creatively bend college life for monsters as one would expect from Pixar. Fortunately, the animation, especially the creature design, is as lush and lifelike as ever. THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES (PG-13) I am so over romantic-tinged, supernatural fantasies aimed at teens. The first movie in what the makers hope to be the new Twilight et al. contains every single YA genre trope. When her mother (Lena Headey) disappears, a seemingly normal girl, Clary Fray (Lily “Daughter of Phil” Collins), discovers her significance in a shadow world of demons, vampires, werewolves and witches. Maybe this sort of Junior “True Blood” seemed original a few years ago, but all it is in 2013 is boring. MUSCLE SHOALS This documentary by Greg ‘Freddy’ Camalier illuminates the role FAME Studios and producer Rick Hall played in creating the Muscle Shoals, Alabama, music scene. Music legends like Aretha Franklin, Greg Allman, Bono, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Wilson Pickett and Keith Richards attempt to explain the musical magic—that “Muscle Shoals Sound”—that emanated from a small town on the Tennessee River. This tuneful doc was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival. (Ciné) PLANES (PG) What with its Cars pedigree and Dane Cook voicework, Planes could have been a lot worse. It’s no more disagreeable than Turbo, a kiddie flick with which it shares some central DNA. A cropduster named Dusty Crophopper (v. Cook) longs to race across the skies. Unfortunately, he’s afraid of heights. With the help of his friends—including a Mater stand-in named Chug (v. Brad Garrett)—and mentor, Skipper (v. Stacy Keach), Dusty conquers his fears and the skies. PRISONERS (R) On a rainy Thanksgiving, two young girls go missing. The parents, Keller and Grace Dover (Hugh Jackman and Maria Bello) and Franklin and Nancy Birch (Terrence Howard and Viola Davis), look everywhere but eventually turn to the police, represented by Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal). A dark morality play from Contraband scripter Aaron Guzikowski, the two and a half hour Prisoners lasts a while. Jackman will probably land on the Academy’s shortlist for his turn as survivalist Dover, who won’t give up on his daughter; he also goes further to find her than the law allows. RUSH (R) You will never know you are watching a Ron Howard film during this recreation of the 1976 Formula One battle between James Hunt (Chris “Thor” Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl). The rivalry merely heats

up after Lauda suffers life-threatening burns during a midseason race. Howard recreates the sensational racing more realistically than any racing movie I have ever seen, and the script by Academy Award nominee Peter Morgan fashions realistic people from these larger than life race car drivers. Hemsworth is terrific at being likably arrogant, but we all knew that from Thor and The Avengers. It is Bruhl, best known to American audiences from Inglourious Basterds, who captivates. His level-headed, unpleasantly disciplined Lauda overcomes the odds to stand out as the film’s champion, no matter who wins on the racetrack. Whether or not you like racing (stock car or formula) or Ron Howard films, Rush is that rare adult action drama that never loses speed on or off the track. THOR: THE DARK WORLD (PG-13) Thor remains one of Marvel’s most surprisingly entertaining flicks, especially considering it was about

Thor. The sequel, helmed by regular “Game of Thronesâ€? director Alan Taylor, looks intriguing. I do hope Chris Hemsworth’s Asgardian god gets to be a lot more godlike this go-round, as he tackles a foe that not even papa Odin (Anthony Hopkins) could defeat. The excellent Tom Hiddleston returns as Loki, as do Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings, Stellan Skarsgard and, most importantly, Idris Elba. TRASHED Part of the EcoFocus Film Festival, Trashed is a documentary focusing on the extent and effects of global waste. Featuring Jeremy Irons. (CinĂŠ) THE UNITED STATES OF AUTISM This documentary follows one man as he travels across the country to meet families and individuals who are affected by autism. (CinĂŠ) WADJDA (PG) Wow! Wadjda is certainly a film to celebrate. This film is the first feature shot entirely in Saudi Arabia, where cinemas are banned, and was also written and directed by

a woman, Haifaa Al Mansour, who is not allowed to drive or vote in her native country. This award-winning film details an eleven-year-old girl’s struggle to buy a bicycle. Of course, in Saudi Arabia, bicycles are thought to endanger a woman’s virtue. Wadjda sounds like a film worth supporting. (CinÊ) WE’RE THE MILLERS (R) After running afoul of his drug kingpin pal (Ed Helms), Dave (Jason Sudeikis) must smuggle a smidge that turns out to be a lot more than a smidge of marijuana across the border. Dave hatches a brilliant plan to fake a family with stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), runaway teen Casey (Emma Roberts) and virginal Kenny (Will Poulter). Everything works out great until he runs into a swell DEA agent and his wife (Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn) and the big-time Mexican drug lord to whom the weed really belongs to catches up with them.

Girl on Fire CARRIE (R) Teenage misfit Carrie White (ChloĂŤ Grace Moretz) is tortured and bullied by her fellow students at school and tyrannized by her highly disturbed religious fanatic mother, Margaret (Julianne Moore), at home. Carrie is no average girl, however. She has telekinetic powers, and eventually her supernatural abilities are unleashed upon everyone who has wronged Carrie.

What severely hampers this remake is how Peirce simplifies the spectacular carnage unleashed by Carrie. In De Palma’s version, Carrie’s vengeance is wild and cruel to innocent and guilty alike. Violence consumes everyone without distinction. It’s what makes the whole affair both terrible and mesmerizing. In Peirce’s version, Carrie’s outlandish meltdown is tailored to horrify yet carefully

ChloÍ Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore The idea of director Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry; Stop-Loss) adapting Stephen King’s classic horror novel Carrie is certainly an intriguing one, though arguably not a traditional choice for such an endeavor. Peirce’s previous work was grounded in humanity and realism, plunging us into stories both disturbing and emotionally raw, yet all too believable. In this version of Carrie (Brian De Palma made a fantastic, stylish big screen version in 1976 starring Sissy Spacek as the title character), Peirce’s instincts become diluted under the weight of the slick production and horror movie clichÊs, but there is still plenty of room for her to explore her thematic concerns. This new version, despite some strong performances from Moretz, Moore and Greer, is still an unnecessary affair. Peirce’s version is far more earnest than De Palma’s, though some of his savage wit would have helped.

orchestrated to absolve her of moral transgressions. The bad ones get their comeuppance, and Carrie’s bloody response is thoroughly justified. Unlike Spacek, who plays the character as one overwhelmed by her own power and unable to control it, Moretz is always in control and comes across more like a superhero losing her temper than a teenage girl flooded by violence and unable to harness it. Moretz gives a nuanced performance but lacks the fragility that made Spacek’s take on the character so memorable. Moore is typically excellent, giving the over-the-top role a real sense of depth that was absent from Piper Laurie’s otherwise visceral approach in the original. As remakes go, Carrie isn’t bad, but it does feel needless, generating more smoke than fire. Derek Hill

The Duluth, MN-based group has spent the better part of the last decade touring the country, performing at about every festival you could imagine and appearing on the national television circuit in support of its latest release, Stars and Satellites. The Turtles are known for busting out indie rock standards during their sets, so if you were ever curious how a Pixies song would sound with a mandolin involved, this is your show. [Dan Mistich]
