Old Theaters, Old Trucks Caps off to the investors who are buying the Georgia Theatre. (See story on p. 13.) From the little we know about them, they sound like people who love this great place, appreciate it for what it is and have the means to assure its continuation as an iconic music venue.

But what’s with the anonymity? Taking over a place that was saved by an outpouring of public support but remaining unknown to the public just doesn’t feel right. Maybe as time goes along, we’ll understand this part of the deal more, but right now, the Theatre belonging to anonymous owners in Athens and Atlanta feels weird. There are no doubt many reasons for anonymity—modesty, not wanting to be bugged for tickets, day jobs where owning a rock-and-roll palace wouldn’t play well—but there are a lot of creepy connotations, too, and it just seems like this venue, which belongs to the public, demands transparency in its ownership.

Classic Work Truck When I was growing up, our store always had a pickup truck for delivering groceries—usually a Chevrolet. We had a Ford once, but that was left over from the furniture business that was abandoned when it came to light that the route man was using the truck more for courting than for deliveries. My favorite among those trucks was the 1954 Chevy five-window

pickup. There was something elegant about the design of those rear windows, not to mention the increased visibility. The truck was sturdy and simple: manual shift on the column, the old reliable straight-six engine under the hood; no air-conditioning, but a nifty side vent to let in the air while you drove. It was a work truck, but with some concern for the driver.

1954 was the last year of the post-war Chevy design. The next year, the bodies bloated and the V-8 became the standard engine. Since then, pickups have only grown larger, plusher and more complicated and also more popular than ever, though you wouldn’t want to haul a load of gravel in them.

Visiting friends in Decatur in recent years, I have admired a real, 1954 five-window Chevy pickup, a working truck, rather than a restored showpiece. Recently, I noticed a For Sale sign on it, and my heart leapt! A brief family conference reminded me that a 60-year-old truck that foreign-car specialist Garry Cummings doesn’t work on does not fit into our game plan, but maybe it does in yours. The owner, Bill Selman, uses it for yard work, etc., but has decided that it’s time to sell this classic old truck, so I told him that even though I could not buy it, there might be somebody in Athens who would like to have it.

He describes the truck as a “1954 Chevy pickup truck, Limited Edition with curved corner cab windows; real collector’s dream.

Runs good. Decatur, GA 30030. 678-459-2434.� You can drive it as is or restore it, depending on your abilities and resources.

city dope Just Another Moral Monday

BandSwap: The Athens-Clarke County Commission was set to vote on this Tuesday, Aug. 4, but they had an interesting conversation about a “band swap” with Fort Collins, CO, at their agenda-setting meeting last month.

BandSwap is a Fort Collins program that invites bands from other cities—including Portland, OR, Lafayette, LA and Charleston, SC—to play shows with Fort Collins bands in their hometowns, then travel to Colorado for a festival in October.

The Athens Downtown Development Authority has proposed spending $5,000 in CEP funds (a $60,000 pot the ADDA uses to assist downtown events like the Twilight Criterium and Hot Corner Festival) to participate in BandSwap.

Commissioner Jared Bailey, who has years of experience in the live music business as the founder of AthFest and former owner of the 40 Watt, said that BandSwap will benefit Fort Collins far more than Athens.

“It seems we’re being sold a bill of goods, and that’s my opinion of the event,” Bailey said. “That’s why when they called me, I declined to participate. They’re showing a lot of initiative, but I just question the value of this particular event.

“I just don’t think we need to be paying another city $5,000 so they can bring their bands here to promote them. Our bands—Athens, GA bands—don’t have a problem getting booked in Fort Collins or anywhere because of our reputation. A Fort Collins band probably would never get a gig here in Athens, just because it’s very competitive.”

Commissioner Mike Hamby, who’s on the ADDA board, defended the expense, saying that ACC needs to build relationships with other progressive communities like Fort Collins. So did Commissioner Kelly Girtz, who applauded the ADDA for funding new events. “It’s about bringing folks here who otherwise might not come, and certainly about giving some Athens bands an opportunity to get out to places they might not get otherwise,” Girtz said.

capitol impact oconee observations What Color Is Georgia?

The conventional wisdom about Georgia politics has been that the state’s changing demographics will eventually bring about a change in its political orientation. The state’s population is becoming less white as the percentages of black, Latino and Asian residents increase. In theory, the growing diversity means Georgia could become less Republican in its voting patterns and might evolve from a red state to a purple state or even a blue Democratic state.

These demographic trends are a major reason why Democrats are enthusiastic about the candidacies of Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter in this year’s races for the U.S. Senate and governor, respectively. Nunn and Carter have an outside shot at winning this year, Democrats believe, but even if they lose, the state could still be winnable for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race or more hospitable to a Democrat running statewide in 2018.

It’s a theory popular with many political pundits, but Sean Trende is one analyst who disagrees with that thinking. He projects that Georgia probably won’t change its Republican preference for quite some time. Trende recently analyzed population data in Georgia, Arizona and Texas, trying to project when those red states might become more purple. Trende calculated that none of them will flip to the Democratic column anytime soon, even with their growing Latino populations. He predicted that Georgia won’t turn Democratic until 2028 or 2048.

“The idea that these three states are on the cusp of competitiveness has been around for over a decade now, yet the states have remained essentially unchanged,” Trende says.

“That’s not to say that this decade won’t be the one where we finally see Democrats break through in one or more of these states. It’s simply to say that these projections have been around for quite some time, and for whatever reason, have yet to bear fruit.”

He could be correct in that projection.

Georgia’s percentage of white voters has certainly declined from 72 percent to less than 60 percent over the past 12 years. During that same period, however, the state’s political power has become more tightly controlled by conservative white Republicans.

Georgia’s Republican voters have also weeded out much of the diversity among their own party’s candidates for top offices. There was a time when Republican voters nominated women (Linda Schrenko, Kathy Cox and Karen Handel) for statewide offices. In 2010 and 2014, every Republican nominated for a statewide office was a middle-aged white male.

In this year’s Republican primary for state school superintendent, the candidates included two blacks and four women.

The candidates who advanced to the runoff, however, were white males: Richard Woods and Mike Buck.

Karen Handel ran for the GOP nomination to the U.S. Senate but didn’t make it to the runoff.

In the U.S. House races, the Republican contenders included strong female candidates like Tricia Pridemore and Donna Sheldon, but they also lost out in their primaries to white males.

At the legislative level, the only black Republican serving in the General Assembly, Rep. Willie Talton of Warner Robins, was ousted by GOP primary voters who chose a white candidate in that district instead.

Growing diversity hasn’t changed the reality of state politics. As the percentage of white voters shrinks, those white voters are more determined than ever to turn out and elect conservative white candidates.

Political partisans can argue whether Georgia will turn out to be a red state, a purple state or a blue state. Given the current voting patterns, it looks like it will continue to be a white state for the time being.

In the end, the issue was simply put off until the board meets at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 5. Chairman Melvin Davis said he will ask for the board to vote then on whether it wants to put the issue on the ballot for the Nov. 4 election.

County Clerk Jane Greathouse had anticipated that the two agreements, as well as one for construction and widening of Jimmy Daniell Road, would be tentatively approved and had them listed on the draft consent agenda for the Aug. 5 meeting. Instead, Davis, who has been pushing the three projects in negotiations with the state, agreed to put them on the Aug. 5 agenda for further discussion.

Undocumented Students Fight to Attend Georgia Universities N

ew student orientation at the University of Georgia has an extra step that students at the University of Texas, University of Arizona and University of Southern California, as well as most of the of the other top research universities in the country, don’t have to confront.

The extra step is a “papers, please” table in front of the door to the Tate Center Grand Hall, where orientation will be held and all the new students will be told how happy UGA is that they chose to become Bulldogs. But most students don’t know that they are required to show a sharply dressed UGA representative their papers because of a 2011 ban on undocumented students.

Under the University System Board of Regents’ policy 4.1.6, students who are not lawfully in the United States are barred from enrolling in competitive admission schools—UGA, Georgia Tech and Georgia State in Atlanta, Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville and Georgia Regents University in Augusta. Even valedictorians are banned.

“I was recruited in my senior year, because I was an outstanding student, to come to the University of Georgia and spend an entire week meeting professors,” says Eduardo Samaniego. “I sat down in classrooms with a lot of other kids coming from other states, and then a few months later, when I go to my school counselor’s office and tell her I’m ready to apply to the University of Georgia, we go through all the basic stuff, then we came to that point where you need to have a Social Security number to apply to the University of Georgia. At that point, I didn’t know what to do, and she said, ‘I didn’t know you were an illegal immigrant,’ and I told her, ‘What is that?’ What does that mean?’ That’s when I realized what it meant to be undocumented, that I couldn’t pursue my dream like any other of my classmates.

“I was the student body president at one of the largest high schools in Cobb County [North Cobb High School]. I was one of the first ones at school every day and one of the last ones to leave, and I graduated with honors, but everything was gone when I walked into my counselor’s office that day. I had decided that UGA was my dream college; I wanted to be there; I wanted to have an education, and Policy 4.1.6 said no.”

Freedom U Samaniego now attends Freedom University, a program started by UGA and Emory University faculty in response to 4.1.6 that offers college-level classes to undocumented students for free.

“Growing up, college was such an abstract idea, because I didn’t know anyone that had gone to college, because I’m a first-generation immigrant, and growing up no one in my family went to college,” says Alejandro Galeana Salinas, who graduated from Cedar Shoals High School in May. “There were always the pep talks at school—‘You’ve got to go to college to have a better future’—and this, to me, growing up undocumented in Georgia, when I heard these talks about, ‘You’ve got to go to college’ back then, I didn’t think that applied to

of these laws coming out. I remember talking with my parents about possibly going back to Mexico after HB 87 became law.”

House Bill 87 is the Georgia version of the Arizona antiimmigration law that drew national outcry.

“It meant if you can’t provide documents, you will get deported immediately, and if you get caught even riding in a car with a U.S. citizen, they get in trouble in addition to you getting deported,” Salinas says. “The law is just so meanspirited and hurtful. Now, you can’t even have a person who is undocumented in your car, and everyone in the car gets in trouble if one of the passengers is undocumented. It’s crazy, and it’s ridiculous that it’s happening here in Georgia. Me and my family were scared, we were scared and fearful.”

Salinas compares Dreamers—the nickname for those who support the DREAM Act, a federal bill providing a path to citizenship—to the civil rights activists of the 1960s. “There have always been groups that have been marginalized and fought against,” he says. “There were a lot of people that opposed the Civil Rights Act and are still racist towards African Americans today. It’s absolutely ridiculous. We learn from history that we don’t learn from history… If you’re not even going to try and be empathetic, you also have to look at the facts and don’t buy into the rhetoric that is used—that we are lawbreakers, that we don’t pay taxes. We do pay taxes.”

Such rhetoric bothers Salinas. “I read a comment on one of the stories about a past demonstration, and it said, ‘These kids are just trying to use our Georgia taxpayer dollars again,’ and I just think that’s ridiculous,” he says. “Some of those taxpayer dollars are mine and my parents,’ and some of the taxpayer dollars are from the 11 million undocumented people living in the U.S. You have to look at the facts. We are not the enemy here.

We are not a bunch of lawbreakers. We are also not perfect, but we have to find a common ground and look at what this ban represents.

“This ban is not about the few dreamers who want to get access to a great education. The reason that this ban is happening is because there’s a bigger problem of America forgetting its past. The United States would not be the country it is today without immigration. And people want to argue, ‘Why

me, because only a few years ago the word for us was ‘illegal,’ and we would call ourselves that, and I was used to seeing my parents just work in the factories. My parents work, work, work just to make ends meet, and that was normal. No one I know had a career—it was just work.

“Then I started to go to Freedom U classes, and that changed all of this for me,” Salinas says. “The classes weren’t like the standardized high school classes I was use to, where they try and squeeze in so much material into a single semester… Freedom U was very student-driven, and you had to really think critically.

“Then there was our first rally back in 2011; that was where my activism started. I can’t believe how much I’ve changed over the last two years because of Freedom University. At first, my activism was very broad and very emotion-driven with all

Undocumented Students

Eric Uhls, another MBA and law-school graduate, says he’d support a policy similar to Texas or Arizona’s, where a student who graduates from an in-state high school can attend any just have DACA. You don’t think this is going to happen when university in the state. “You’re punishing people for something you come to the U.S., but next thing you know, it happened.” they didn’t have any control over,” Uhls says. “I think it would be a good idea, because it wouldn’t be punishing people that had no choice in the matter in coming here; so at this point, what are their options?

movie dope drew’s reviews GET ON UP (PG-13) James Brown might have had more energy than

 any of his entertainer peers. Perhaps that’s why his biopic, directed

by The Help’s Tate Taylor from a script by Jez and John-Henry Butterworth (the summer’s most underrated movie, Edge of Tomorrow), has a little more pop than recent, popular, award-winning biopics Ray and Walk the Line.

Disjointedly constructed out of chronological order, the life of James Brown (Chadwick Boseman) unfolds from his poor childhood through his (glossed over) jail time. And in the middle are all the hits that made the Georgia native the Godfather of Soul. After receiving high marks for his Jackie Robinson in 42, Boseman tackles a tougher icon in Brown, whose appearance and voice many filmgoers still recall. Again, Boseman nails his subject. He simply is James Brown. Nelsan Ellis, longtime “True Blood” fave, is long overdue for his high profile role as Brown’s longtime friend, Bobby Byrd. Nonetheless, this musical biopic falters in its third act just like its aforementioned peers. It’s hard to keep the drama compelling when the end is so well known, and ultimately, Get On Up’s James Brown lacks the real man’s complexity. But it sure is entertaining and informative.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (PG-13) Marvel has been on a role, but who would have thought a practically unknown comic adapted by a cult favorite would be their best flick since Avengers and vie for top dog status? This version of the spacefaring team of superheroes brought to the big screen by Slither filmmaker James Gunn first appeared in 2008. Star-Lord née Peter Quill (the always amiable Chris Pratt) was kidnapped from Earth.

His latest heist lands him in jail with one of Thanos’ daughters, Gamora (Zoe Saldana); a genetically engineered raccoon named Rocket (v. Bradley Cooper, who has more zingers than the other actors combined); a talking tree that only repeats, “I am Groot,” in the voice of Vin Diesel; and a vengeful fellow who goes by Drax the Destroyer (the film’s pleasant surprise, WWE’s Dave Bautista). The Guardians must break out and defeat the evil Kree, Ronan (Lee Pace). Don’t shy away from Guardians because you don’t know the characters or because it looks dumb. It’s funnier than The Avengers, and it’s a stellar sci-fi adventure flick. Comparisons to top action-comedies like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Big Trouble in Little China aren’t mere hyperbole.



also playing k ABOUT ALEX (R) A millennial Big

Chill, About Alex stars Aubrey Plaza (“Parks and Recreation”), Jane Levy (Evil Dead), Jason “son of John” Ritter (“Parenthood”), Maggie Grace (“Lost”), Max Greenfield (“New Girl”’s scene stealing Schmidt), Max Minghella (son of late Oscar winner Anthony) and Nate Parker (The Great Debaters and Red Tails) as college friends who reunite after one of their own attempts suicide.

Writer-director Jesse Zwick makes his feature debut.

AND SO IT GOES (PG-13) This Frankensteinian mashup, a pseudosequel to Annie Hall and As Good as It Gets, might as well be titled Old People Movie. It ticks all the stereotypical checkboxes for its target demographic.

Too bad it lacks the romantic humanity of James L. Brooks or the fashion sense of Nancy Meyers; director Rob Reiner has lost all touch with his sense of character or comic timing. If not for the average work done by the two graceful leads, Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton, this movie would be an utter disaster. As it stands, it’s merely a minor, forgettable one.

BEGIN AGAIN (R) Writer-director John Carney is best known for the luminescent Once, and that familial connection does Begin Again the most harm. Starring Mark Ruffalo as a down-and-out music executive and Keira Knightley as an aspiring singer-songwriter, Begin Again lacks the authenticity, sought by Knightley’s Greta, and attained by Carney’s Once.

The movie does improve after its novelistic opening, during which Dan (Ruffalo) and Greta’s current situations are revealed. He is separated from his wife (Catherine Keener), daughter

10

(Hailee Steinfeld) and job; she lost her boyfriend, Dave (Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and NBC’s “The Voice”), to fame. Together, they set out to recover their lives by recording an album on the streets of New York City. Not surprisingly, when the music starts flowing, Begin Again gets into a lovely groove. If one is interested in Once without the thrill of discovery, Begin Again is catchy and stays mostly onkey. (Ciné) DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (PG-13) In the eighth installment of the venerable franchise, apes have yet to completely take over the planet. A band of humans survived the Simian Flu and struggle to rebuild in San Francisco. Meanwhile, Caesar (Andy Serkis) has created a community in the forests outside the city. Soon man and beast will clash, thanks to the machinations of evil ape Koba (Toby Kebbell). I never thought I’d fully back a PotA flick without humans shuffling around behind stuffy masks, but with the digital FX in Dawn I don’t miss them at all. The work done on the apes is truly wondrous to watch.

EARTH TO ECHO (PG) Found footage is not the cinematic dead end many believe it to be, but the gambit needs a narrative purpose to be used.

The trailers for Earth to Echo, an E.T.looking wannabe that brings to mind 1988’s Mac and Me, betray no such narrative need for the found footage frame. A group of kids could help this alien named Echo return home without filming every second of it. The familyfriendly sci-fi flick is the first feature from director Dave Green.

HERCULES (PG-13) Immediately forgettable, but not altogether unentertaining, this stripped down take on the Greek demigod—son of Zeus by a mortal—falls somewhere

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 6, 2014

between television’s campy “Hercules” and Conan, which it more or less resembles. Explaining away the myth of Hercules (played far less charmingly

by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson than one would expect) as the trumped up work of a band of extremely talented mercenaries—each hailing from a different Greek city-state—the action movie focuses on a brief post-12-labor period in which the legendary warrior adventured into Thrace, seeking to save the kingdom of Lord Cotys (John Hurt), from the evil Rhesus (Tobias Santelmann). The less serious one takes this picture, the better it plays; try not to envision Eddie Murphy’s Mama Klump when repeated chants of “Hercules!” swell from the army’s ranks.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 (PG) How to Train Your Dragon 2 aspires to make a wonderful family film and turn it into an epic. Hiccup (v. Jay Baruchel) and his dragon, Toothless, spend their days flying across the world, discovering new locations and hopefully new dragons. Writer-director Dean DeBlois fantastically ups the ante from the first film.

Freeman shows up to explain everything. One can hope for a new Besson heroine to join The Fifth Element’s Leeloo and La Femme Nikita.

MALEFICENT (PG) Maleficent is clearly birthed from the Alice in Wonderland strain of family fantasy, and despite being more successful than either of 2012’s dueling Snow White retellings, overdoses on style while lacking the original cartoon’s charm.

No one benefits from this ultimately unrewarding retconning of Disney’s classic Sleeping Beauty, least of all the titular evil fairy (Angelina Jolie). Here, the powerfully wicked Maleficent is relegated to a petty trickster in snakeskin head wraps.

MARY POPPINS (G) 1964. Ciné’s Summer Classic Movie Series continues with this supercalifragilisticexpialidocious matinee. (I have always wanted to type that and only barely misspelled it the first time, misplacing a mere two letters.) Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke star in the timeless Disney film about the magical nanny for which Andrews won a Best Actress Oscar. Van Dyke also tapped his way to Oscar gold with “Chim Chim Cher-ee.” (Ciné)

I wish we could afford a top sheet.

THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY (PG) From the trailer, I should have guessed this literary adaptation (Richard C. Morais wrote the novel) was directed by Lasse Hallstrom; I would not have guessed Steven Knight (an Academy Award nominee for Dirty Pretty Things) wrote it. An Indian family (led by Om Puri) clashes with Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), who owns a nearby traditional French restaurant, until the family’s talented young chef, Hassan (Manish Dayal), falls in love with Madame’s cuisine and her sous chef.

INTO THE STORM (PG-13) I thought it was too early for a Twister remake, but this found footage thriller about a town threatened by multiple tornadoes is strongly reminiscent of that 1996 Bill Paxton/Helen Hunt hit. Richard Armitage (The Hobbit’s Thorin), Sarah Wayne Callies (“Prison Break” and “The Walking Dead”) and Matt Walsh (very funny on HBO’s “Veep”) are the familiar, adult faces of this disaster flick, whose focus will be on a group of high schoolers, from director Steven Quale (Final Destination 5).

LUCY (R) Scarlett Johansson stars as Lucy, a drug mule who has the secrets of her brain unlocked by a mysterious drug that has leaked into her system.

As she reaches 100% consciousness, she becomes superhuman, learning Chinese in minutes and to move objects with her mind. Morgan

A MOST WANTED MAN (R) It’s always nice, if not quite successful, when someone attempts to adapt John le Carre to the big screen. In A Most Wanted Man, director Anton Corbijn (The American, which was not as good as his debut, Control) and screenwriter Andrew Bovell (Mel Gibson’s Edge of Darkness) are in charge of one of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s final performances, as he plays a German intelligence agent planning what to do with an illegal Chechen Muslim immigrant. With Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe, Robin Wright and Daniel Bruhl. (Ciné) ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE (R) See Movie Pick. (Ciné) PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE (PG) Dusty Crophopper (v. Dane Cook), now a world-renowned racer, experiences an engine injury and changes his focus to aerial firefighting. Dusty joins the Smokejumpers, a team of all-terrain vehicles led by the veteran chopper, Blade Ranger (v. Ed Harris). Remember this is just Disney, not Pixar.

THE PURGE: ANARCHY (R) The second Purge steps out from the luxury security system of the original and goes into the dangerous streets on the one night when laws are encouraged to be broken and help is not on the way.

Our group of protagonists—separating couple (Zach Gilford of “Friday Night Lights” and Kiele Sanchez), mom and daughter (Carmen Ejogo and Zoe Soul), and vengeful dad (Frank

Grillo)—wind up on the streets for different reasons but must come together to survive. What amounts to Manhunt: The Movie is alarmingly pessimistic about humanity and cynical about the government.

THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH 1955.

Ciné’s Summer Classic Movie Series continues with a film best known for the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe in a white dress atop a windy subway grate (you know the one I mean). That the film is written and directed by Hollywood legend Billy Wilder is just icing on the cake. The slim plot concerns a faithful husband (Tom Ewell) who is tempted by a sexpot neighbor (Monroe) while his family is away for the summer. (Ciné) SEX TAPE (R) While trying to reignite their sex life, a married couple, Jay and Annie (Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz), make a sex tape that inadvertently gets synced to the multitude of old iPads Jay had repurposed as gifts.

Even the mailman got one, so they repeatedly tell us. It’s a pretty contrived setup, even for today’s high-concept comedy. While the movie is not obnoxious, it is virtually laughless.

STEP UP ALL IN (PG-13) Time to put your dancing shoes back on for the fifth installment in the biannual Step Up franchise. Can you believe we have had a new Step Up every other year since 2006? Essentially, every year a congressional election is held, we get a new Step Up. This time, the all-stars from previous movies—Ryan Guzman, Briana Evigan, Adam Sevani, Misha Gabriel, Twitch and more—battle for dance dominance in Las Vegas.

TAMMY (R) Melissa McCarthy headlines her hubby Ben Falcone’s directorial debut; the duo collaborated on the script. McCarthy’s Tammy hits the road with her grandmother, Pearl (Susan Sarandon), after losing her job and discovering that her husband, Greg (Nat Faxon), is a cheater. The cast includes fan favorites like Kathy Bates, Allison Janney, Dan Aykroyd, Mark Duplass, Gary Cole, Toni Collette and Sandra Oh. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (PG-13) Eastman and Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return for their first live action movie since their 1993 adventure in ancient Japan; a decent animated update was released in 2007. Produced by Michael Bay and directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans and Battle Los Angeles), TMNT’s newest

adventure stars Megan Fox as intrepid reporter April O’Neil, who stumbles upon the unlikely outcasts, righting the Foot Clan from their sewer hideout.

Inexplicably, Johnny Knoxville voices Leonardo.

THIS IS SPINAL TAP (R) 1984.

Ciné’s Summer Classic Movie Series winds down with its final late show, one of the finest works of comedy the cinema has known since Caddyshack.

David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest) and Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) comprise Tap, a brainless metal band whose flameout of a new album and American tour are captured by documentarian Marty DiBergi (director Rob Reiner).

This Is Spinal Tap goes all the way to 11 and beyond. (Ciné) TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION (PG-13) Michael Bay’s fourth Transformers movie is too long, but it’s less abrasive and offensive than its two immediate predecessors. A more appealing band of humans, led by Mark Wahlberg, certainly helps, as do the Dinobots that finally appear in the last 30 minutes. Evil government, represented by Kelsey Grammer, and evil corporations, represented by Stanley Tucci, are working together with a bad Transformer named Lockdown to hunt down the remaining Autobots.

22 JUMP STREET (R) Writing and directing duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller constantly and selfreferentially acknowledge that Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) just need to do the exact same thing again. Moving from high school to college, the undercover team must find the supplier of a dangerous new drug called WHYPHY. Stick around; the end credits contain the movie’s funniest gag.

WHAT IF (PG-13) Nice guy Wallace (Daniel Radcliffe) meets charming Chantry (Zoe Kazan) and feels an instant connection. To his disappointment, Chantry lives with her boyfriend, Ben (Rafe Spall). Can a guy and a girl just be friends? Has this question not been answered already? This romcom appears cute in its trailer, which does overshare a bit about the movie. Adam Driver from HBO’s “Girls” appears as Wallace’s best bud. With Megan Park (“The Secret Life of the American Teenager”) and Mackenzie Davis (AMC’s “Halt and Catch Fire”).

WISH I WAS HERE (R) Zach Braff hit a goldmine with his decade-old writing-directing debut, Garden State.

His long-awaited follow up starts behind the 8 ball after the “Scrubs” star questionably funded the film via high profile crowdsourcing. In Wish I Was Here, Braff stars as 35-year-old Aidan Bloom, who faces a(nother) pre-midlife crisis. I guess they occur every ten years for Braff. With Josh Gad, Ashley Greene, Kate Hudson, Joey King, Mandy Patinkin and Donald Faison.

Among the Ruins ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE (R) It should be expected that when writer/director Jim Jarmusch made a vampire movie, he would pull off the unexpected. This is not Twilight or True Blood or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, even.

Only Lovers Left Alive is a full-on romance (albeit dark and twisted) about two complicated, sophisticated and individualistic lovers who also happen to be blood suckers. If you had to compare it to previous vampire movies, Harry Kmel’s cult fave Daughters of Darkness and Michael Almereyda’s idiosyncratic lo-fi Nadja come to mind, more so than a traditional take on the genre or something like the previously mentioned contemporary revisionist interpretations. It is very much a vampire movie, but one transfused through the fertile imagination of one of America’s great indeTilda Swinton pendent filmmakers.

Adam (Tom Hiddleston) and Eve (Tilda Swinton), vampires and longtime lovers for hundreds of years, live among us humans (the mopey, depressed Adam refers to us as zombies) and feed on clean, untainted blood obtained from various inside sources in the medical profession. Although deeply in love, Adam and Eve live in separate parts of the globe—Eve in exotic Tangiers and Adam in decrepit, abandoned Detroit. Adam spends his solitary nights recording music and

ps!fnbjm!sftvnf!up

sometimes dealing with his de facto Renfield, Ian (Anton Yelchin), who obtains rare guitars and other items for his mysterious, reclusive benefactor. Eve, the more emotionally sturdy of the two, spends her nights with her great friend Marlowe (John Hurt)—the Christopher Marlowe—and talks with her lover via video Skype, patiently waiting out his fixation on morbid self-attention. Eve eventually journeys to Detroit to reunite with her lover, but when Eve’s sister, the manic pixie blood sucker Ava (Mia Wasikowska), unexpectedly shows up, the forces of chaos threaten to engulf them all.

Only Lovers Left Alive delves into the heart of the matter, cinematically examining what it means to be vulnerably human although its protagonists are beyond our flesh and blood. Jarmusch’s characteristic deadpan humor is firmly in place, though his insights into what makes couples groove are more penetrating than ever. It’s arguably his finest work to date and an extraordinary variation on the vampire myth. Languorously paced and staunchly anti-plot-driven, Only Lovers Left Alive always feels vibrant, vital and dreamily content to wallow amidst the ruination of modern life: this is cinema as narcotic, and it’s incandescent.

Guitar Glory Manchester Orchestra Leads the Rock and Roll Revival

W

er’e in the midst of an EDM-crazed zeitgeist, where synthetic sounds dominate airwaves and record grooves. But it’s not for everyone. So when, after wrapping up the tour for their last album, Simple Math, Atlanta rock band Manchester Orchestra found itself without a label, its members decided to make the kind of album they wanted to hear.

“I think there isn’t enough guitar music, so maybe we can be the band that rolls that ball down the hill,” says frontman Andy Hull. “There’s lots of bands playing really cool grunge and rock music. It’s just not what’s being focused or highlighted by the main press. There’s still people coming to our shows who are really interested in [rock music]… We’re one of those bands that’s always a little against the wave of what’s supremely popular at the time.”

While it’s tough to entertain the idea of rock and roll as outsider art, Hull does have a point: Rock has diminished, at least in the mainstream. Cope—released earlier this year via Concord subsidiary Loma Vista and the band’s own label, Favorite Gentlemen—is Manchester Orchestra’s contribution to the counter-electrosurgency.

While not quite as heavy-hitting as the band would perhaps like to believe—Hull has thrown around the word “brutal” in interviews—it is a rough-and-tumble collection of loud, densely arranged rock songs, glazed in acrid adult frustrations.

Hull’s lyrics, which at times feel overwrought, also occasionally offer rich imagery coupled with a gut-punch of sentiment, like when he sings on “Top Notch,” the searing opening track, “We all believed in ghosts/ Until you walked into a wall.”

Manchester Orchestra’s brand of emo-tinged rock, like that of sonic brethren like Brand New, with whom the group has toured in the past, chooses catharsis over escapism.

“This will be, like, the ear-bleedingly loud rock show,” Hull says of the group’s Aug. 6 performance at the Georgia Theatre.

“It’s been the most fun album we’ve played live.”

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 6, 2014

That fun arises in part from the fact that the band—Hull, guitarist Robert McDowell, keyboardist/percussionist Chris Freeman, bassist Andy Prince and drummer Tim Very—recorded Cope while all “standing in the same room playing,” a departure from their usual methods.

In fact, most of the process was a departure—from a former record label, from an established way of working, from a former member (bassist Jonathan Corley left after Simple Math) and from the big, orchestral sound Manchester Orchestra had put

”We’re one of those bands that’s always a little against the wave of what’s supremely popular at the time.” forth on its last album. The band members even got together, bought a house in Atlanta and gutted it to build the studio in which Cope was recorded.

All that upheaval surely had something to do with the record’s title. And, from the looks of the band’s “Letterman” appearance in March, Hull and company still connect viscerally with the feelings behind the songs. Amid a near-seizure-inducing light show, Freeman lurked over the edge of his keyboards; head-banging, Prince and McDowell wore halos of flipping hair; and Hull gave a foot-stomping, voice-cracking performance of Cope’s title track—which, while not the strongest track from the record, shows quite well in the live context.

The clip is barely over four minutes long, but it gives a good sense of why the group has developed a reputation for leave-it-all-on-the-floor shows, and supports Hull’s argument that this is probably its best record yet to witness live.

There are other signs that Manchester Orchestra feels it has something special in Cope. When reached for this interview,

Hull has just left the studio, where he and the rest of the band are retooling Cope’s tracks for a re-imagining of the album, titled Hope.

“It’s all really stripped down… versions of the [songs],” says Hull. “Later this year, we’ll do a tour behind it. When we were writing the album, we found that these songs really worked in this kind of pretty, stripped down way, as well. It was always our intention to explore this counterpoint of these songs.

“I’ve gone back on some lyrics and rewritten some stuff,” he continues. “I spent a lot of time on the melody and the way the songs flowed and the lyrics. [Cope is] a very fast record.

When I listen to it now, after working on a calmer version, some of that stuff gets lost and is over really fast. When we added breadth to the songs, they were able to expand.”

As exciting as all this is—having a record he’s proud of, touring behind it and digging deep into songs he enjoys playing—Hull has one big distraction: a new baby girl, who’ll be approaching her onemonthiversary the week of the group’s Athens show. With Hope on the way and a very good excuse to write quiet music now, perhaps we’ll see Manchester Orchestra mellow soon. Still, given the band’s output thus far, we wouldn’t expect any lullabies.

Georgia Theatre Sold threats & promises

‘Silent’ Investors Buy Iconic Noise Palace

A

fter weeks of rumors suggesting a deal was in the works, Georgia Theatre owner Wilmot Greene tells Flagpole he has sold the iconic downtown music venue for an undisclosed sum to a group of anonymous investors operating under the name Agon LLC. Greene is also stepping down from his role as the Theatre’s general manager, and the venue’s new owners have chosen Drew Beskin to fill the position. Greene will stay on as for “at least six months” to assist in the transition.

Beskin, who recently moved back to Athens from Atlanta, where he had been working as an account executive at a marketing firm, is no stranger to the local music scene, having fronted the Athens-based band The District Attorneys for several years.

“This is a dream opportunity for me, to be involved in something I’d want to be involved in 24/7 whether it was my job or not,” Beskin says. “I’m back in Athens, and I’ll probably be here a very long time.”

Greene purchased the Theatre with partner Randy Smith in 2004 and spent the next five years renovating the aging building, which at various points since its construction in 1889 has functioned as a movie house, place

Though Greene says he was not actively trying to sell the venue, he admits he has been entertaining offers for some time. When the new owners approached him, he says, it felt right.

“These guys intrigued me, and they seemed like nice people,” he says. “Once I found out Drew was on board, I really started getting comfortable with it.”

Both Greene and Beskin stress that Agon’s investors—”individual investors, not corporate investors,” says Greene—don’t intend to make any drastic changes.

“They’re all huge fans of the Theatre and how it’s grown, the changes that have been made,” Greene says. “I would be shocked if [anyone] notices any difference. It’s going to be a seamless transition. We’ve worked very hard to make sure that’s the case.”

“The idea is to not change what makes the Georgia Theatre the Georgia Theatre,” adds Beskin, adding that all of the venue’s 60-plus staff members will remain on board. “We have a great team already in place.”

That team includes talent buyer Scott Orvold, who has worked at the Theatre for much of Greene’s tenure as owner and who has

Scott Orvold, Drew Beskin and Wilmot Greene of worship, YMCA and Masonic temple. It has been a music venue since 1978, with the exception of a several-year period in the ‘80s when it served as a movie theater.

In 2009, the building was gutted by a massive fire. With financial support from the community as well as from his banker, Greene was able to rebuild. The venue reopened in 2011, complete with a rooftop bar and restaurant, though renovations, totaling nearly $5 million, have continued through this year.

Greene says the money and energy he has put into the building over the last 10 years have left him exhausted. “The first five years of my tenure [were spent doing] renovations,” he says. “And then it burned. And then we had to do another complete renovation after that.

“I’m pretty beat,” he adds. “It’s a younger man’s game… I would literally close the Theatre down [some nights] just so I could sleep. And that’s not fair to our employees, or the ticket buyers.”

been chiefly responsible for expanding and diversifying its calendar, introducing a popular series of rooftop concerts that have served to fill gaps in the slow summer months.

Beskin and Orvold say they plan to continue on that path, adding even more shows to the approximately 200 that populated the venue’s calendar in 2013.

Greene, who has had little to do with booking of late (he refers to himself as “the building superintendent”), says he is simply ready to move on.

“My job is over, in a lot of ways,” he says.

“The building is awesome. The management team we’ve put together, with Scott and Drew at the lead, should be ready to go for years.”

Where he’ll go, and what he’ll do when he gets there, is still up in the air. “I’ve got a couple of rollover vacation weeks,” he jokes.

“That’s for sure.”

Music News And Gossip First Up: It’s been a good while since I mentioned The Hoot, so now seems like a good time. For the uninitiated, it’s a monthly variety show of folk, bluegrass, old-time and other roots-type music (including R&B and soul) hosted by the Athens Folk Music & Dance Society. The next installment happens Monday, Aug. 11 at the Melting Point and will feature the soulful Kelvin Armstrong and the buttered Dylan stylings of Sam Burchfield.

The whole night will be hosted by Ansley Stewart, who will also open the show. To learn more about The Hoot and the Athens Folk Music & Dance Society, see facebook.com/ groups/athensfolk and athensfolk.org.

Good folks, these are.

Support ‘em.

Speaking of Which: I guess I could have included this in the paragraph above, but it deserves to stand alone. The lineup for the 30th annual North Georgia Folk Festival was released last week, and fans will be edified to Norman Blake note the exciting news of a rare appearance by the legendary Norman Blake. Although Blake is no stranger to touring, he hasn’t done a lot of it lately, and his return to Athens is a very special one. This year’s festival happens Saturday, Oct. 11 at Sandy Creek Park. The event is a celebration of all folk arts and includes kids’ activities and storytelling, too. Other featured performers include Bonnie Loggins and Mary Lomax, Phil Tanner and the Skillet Lickers, Marion Montgomery and Glyn Denham, Stone Mountain Wobblers, The Folk Society Band, Pat Shields, Emerald Road, BlueBilly Grit and Atlanta Hair of the Dog. Advance tickets are $14 for adults, $7.50 for students and kids under 12 are free. Pick up yours at athensfolk.org.

One Thing at a Time: Although it’s too late to get your band included in the series, it’s not too late for your ears to enjoy the fruits of Jesse Mangum’s labor. He is, of course, the head dude at The Glow Recording Studio, and the series I’m talking about is MOEKE Records’ “Summer Singles,” in which a song is released each week until the end of summer to form a complete digital compilation. So far, there are songs by Four Eyes, New Wives,

Tongues, Night School, Los Cantares, Chief Scout and Adrienne Hamil. Upcoming bands include Monsoon, Jacob Morris, Gumshoe, Mothers, Deep State and Semicircle. Give it a click over at moekerecords.bandcamp.com and be a pal via facebook.com/moekerecords.

Theatre of Pain: Although they don’t really claim to be an Athens band anymore, I still give death-art-rock band Entertainment the benefit of the doubt. No one in town has come close to matching the batcave-ish menace of the group’s debut, Gender, and it came out over six years ago! Anyway, the news today is that that four songs from that album have been incorporated into an experimental ballet titled Penumbra, which is to be performed at the Vox Populi Gallery in Philadelphia. Word is the show has been in development for several years but will only be performed once on Aug. 9 (“under the Capricorn moon,” say the organizers). So, damn, we’ll all miss it! Entertainment’s sophomore album is titled Horror, and should be released sometime later this year. But as much as I dig this band, I wouldn’t hold my breath—even though that would be a totally death-rock thing to do. Listen at entertainment.bandcamp. com and like ‘em over at facebook.com/ TheOfficialEntertainmentPage.

Portraits of Present: New screamo band Under A Sky So Blue released its first demo a couple weeks ago, and fans of 1990s screamo— admittedly an irritating genre splitter of a term that helped no one but sold a truckload of hand-printed rag patches—will dig it the most. It features four tracks of worshipfully faithful chug-’n’-wail, and there’s even a limited-edition CD complete with a brown chipboard cover and a blotchy typewriter font.

I wish UASSB had been around when Athens really had an embedded scene for this kind of stuff, but here’s to the outliers, the town criers and young sires. Stream the record via underaskysoblue.bandcamp.com and visit facebook.com/underaskysoblue.

Make Something

If

you’ve been thinking about picking up a new skill lately, here’s your chance.

Whether it’s wood carving, metal working or 3D printing, this weekend’s Athens Maker Fest will bring together more than 40 interactive booths for you to explore your next obsession.

The idea is to bring together artists, technology lovers and crafters to trade ideas and create something new, says Van Burns, coordinator of the Athens Regional Library System grant funding the event.

“We want people who are working away in their garages without anyone watching to show each other what they’re doing,” says Burns. “The focus is on different influences and techniques, and the idea of an opensource environment with the free exchange of ideas.”

Slated for late Saturday afternoon, Aug. 9, at Lyndon House Arts Center, the event is the first of its kind in Athens and is free to attend. Expect to find booths with folk art, ceramics, robots, cartoons, soap making, watercolor and weaving. Several interactive technology exhibits will allow viewers to immerse themselves in the environment, including Zane Cochran’s Bit Dome, which creates a 360-degree light and music experience.

“It’s a good balance of the arts and technology,” Burns says. “There’s the more traditional side, with silk painting and printmaking, and then we’ve got MFA folks from UGA doing on-the-spot portraits on tablets.

I’m looking forward to the wide selection.”

The festival is funded by the Reflecting, Sharing, Learning program, the product of a National Leadership Grant awarded to the Athens Regional Library System and Lyndon House Arts Center by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. This is the fourth and final year of the grant, with an extension funding Maker Fest and other programs through the end of September.

“The program was targeted at the Baby Boomer generation to produce programming for and by them, but we found over the course of the grant that we were attracting both younger and older Athenians,” Burns says.

“The White House held a similar makers event a few weeks ago, and we think it’s a growing trend across the country to bring creators together.”

To keep interest piqued, Hatch Athens, a local organization of artists, developers

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ AUGUST 6, 2014

and creatives, will host workshops at Lyndon House this weekend and next weekend to teach coding and other elements of interactive technology. A beginner’s Arduino coding class this weekend will teach learners how to control an LED ring to make an “Iron Man Arc Reactor” clock, and next weekend’s class will show users how to manipulate information from Xbox Kinect to control software.

“Many times, there’s a wide disconnect between disciplines, and when you’re only working in one medium, you don’t know the availability out there,” says Erica Parson, executive director of Hatch Athens. “Combining different disciplines and mindsets helps to manipulate materials and technology in a new way, which is the only way we’re going to advance anything.”

Hatch Athens, which hosts monthly “hackathons” for members to collaborate, is working to provide a 24/7 space for creators to get together and use resources to build projects.

They’ve already collected wood-working tools, metal-working tools and a variety of tech toys, such as 3D printers, microcontrollers and mini-computers.

“Everyone is creative. Everyone is a maker,” Parson says. “Whether you’re building furniture, creating connections or doing sales, you’re making the world a better place when you bring passion to it.”

Hatch Athens will host a space at the Maker Fest with information about the group’s developing space and projects the group has produced since January. Parson works with technology, modern furniture and metal, but she’s excited to explore crafts this weekend that she hasn’t tried before, such as felt making.

“People are happier when they’re able to do something that fulfills them rather than just work a job and make money,” Parson says. “We want to provide a way to harbor that creativity inside everyone.”

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions Unhappily Married

(., E% CLDGB@E JK% FG<E ;8@CP 8K .GD

rough time, you’ll be in a position to build a much happier life.

The alternative is years of the same unhappiness.

$$$ I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve gotten myself into some trouble with my credit card—not terrible trouble, but I do have about $5,000 debt that I don’t really have the money to pay off. I’m able to make the minimum payment each month and sometimes even a little more, but I’m not really making much headway against the total amount due. And every time it seems like I make a little dent in it, I have to charge something, like a car repair or unexpected bill, so I’m back where I started from.

I keep thinking that when I get some extra money, like from a gift, or tax refund, or whatever, I’ll use that to pay it down, but that money always seems to get used up or it doesn’t do much against the total amount. Should I be worried about this? Or does everyone have some debt like this? Is there anything I can do?

Lee Gatlin

I am unhappy in my marriage. Our relationship was once good-ish, but my wife and I got married too young, and things have been not good for a long time. If I were dating today, she’s not the person or even the type of person I’d chose to be with.

We sometimes fight, but even when we’re not fighting, things aren’t good. My wife has never said so outright, but I think she must be unhappy, too. The main clue is that her drinking has slowly but surely increased over the years we’ve been married.

That’s its own set of problems.

I’m at the point where I want to leave but haven’t for so many reasons. One reason is I feel guilty for even thinking about it. Putting this all down on paper feels disloyal, especially since she and I have never even talked about splitting up. She also does not have many friends or much of a support network. That is one thing that’s been a problem, actually. For a long time, I’ve felt like I’m everything in her life, and that’s too much pressure. It’s limited me doing anything on my own and even having friends. So that’s something that makes me want to leave our marriage, but also something that makes me worry about leaving.

About eight months ago, I met a woman kind of through work. We got to know each other, flirted and have hooked up a couple times. I really enjoy her and would date her in a heartbeat if I were single. A couple times, thinking about what I’ve done, I’ve felt so guilty and conflicted I’ve actually thrown up. I hate that I’ve done this, and I hate that I’ve confused the question of leaving my marriage with this affair. Like, if I was truly unhappy and wanted out, I should have done that before I cheated. I really have no idea if I would be happy with this other woman, but I know I’m not happy with things as they are now. Can you help me at all?

Paralyzed

Other people do have credit card debt, Indebted, but that doesn’t do anything to alleviate your monthly bill. You need to acknowledge that this situation is serious. Five thousand dollars is not a small amount, particularly if you don’t have it. And you don’t want this hanging over your head for the next several years. You want to pay it off, so you can do other things with your money. You also want to get your financial habits in order, so you can avoid incurring this kind of debt in the future.

Unattractive as this option is, I think you need to find an additional source of income. You don’t have to work 18 hours a day, but if you make $200 additional dollars a month to put towards this debt, you’ll start to see real progress. The pain of this additional work will also make using the card a less attractive option in Please send your questions to Paralyzed, you’re right in saying that the future. advice@flagpole.com or your affair confuses the issue of how to Secondly, find a place to cut $50 out of your current spending and apply that proceed with your marriage. This affair is flagpole.com/getadvice towards your debt. Again, unpleasant, I bread and circuses keeping you occupied and distracting you from your unhappy know, but addressing this head-on right now is the best way to move forward. situation. You need to recognize that you’re not going to have Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman both have great plans for any peace of mind or quality of life if you continue with things as they are. Ending your flirtation with this other woman paying off debt and building a solid financial foundation. I suggest you get one of their books—for free from the library, will clear the way for you to begin truly sorting out what to do with your primary relationship—the relationship you had of course—and see what they have to say. Good luck. before you met her and the relationship you’ve made the biggest commitment to.

She needs to know that you’re thinking seriously about ending the marriage. These won’t be easy conversations You definitely do not have to attend this shower. My rule to have, but the only route to making things easier and better for attending parties, showers, weddings and any other event, goes directly through this difficult work. really, is to go only if you’re 100 percent excited about going.
