Generous endowment inspires director, singers
By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
The talented voices of the Dallas Symphony Chorus (DSC) represent Dallas’ community voluntarism at its finest, and DSC’s voices are
raised in gratitude for a generous endowment gift from a devoted patron. Recently The Jean D. Wilson Chorus Director Chair was endowed with a benevolent gift from Dr. Wilson, who has enjoyed the Dallas Symphony Orchestra

(DSO) since his 1951 move to Dallas to study medicine. Wilson said, “I have attended Dallas Symphony performances regularly for 64 years, some 500 performances overall, and there is no question but that my life has been enriched immensely by this experience. I feel this gift is a thank you for all those beautiful musical moments, which continue to mean so much to me.” The Jean D. Wilson Chorus Director Chair is administered by the Dallas Symphony Foundation. “I envy people who sing well and provide so much pleasure to those of us who don’t,” Wilson said. “I hope this Endowed Chair will enable director Joshua Habermann and the Dallas Symphony Chorus to continue to inspire people like me for years to come.” Dr. Wilson is Professor Emeritus of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
The 2014-15 season marks Habermann’s fourth year as Director of the DSC, occupying the Jean D. Wilson Chorus Director Chair. Habermann said, “The Dallas Symphony Chorus is a dedicated group of volunteers who work tirelessly to perform at the highest professional level. Each singer in the chorus enriches their communities through music, and I am very grateful to Dr. Wilson for this generous endowment gift.” Habermann, who first met Wilson at a concert he directed for the Santa Fe Desert Chorale said, “One significance of Dr. Wilson’s generosity is its recognition of the incredible job the chorus does. Its singers perform because they love music, and they’re dedicated to the DSO and Dallas Symphony Chorus.” Between 170 and 190 singers perform with the DSC

david@katytrailweekly.com This week’s notes are coming from my second private email account ... I have bitten my tongue on this issue for weeks, but I must at least raise my concern. And the timing could not be better. As the Texas Senate appears ready to approve a law allowing Texans to openly display and carry firearms (in shoulder or belt holsters), the question for me remains “Why?” Handguns are at the root of so much wrong with America. Yes, I know we have a constitutional amendment supporting the right to bear arms. But we also once would not allow women to vote, anyone to drink and had embarrassing policies on the books against minorities. After centuries, just because there is a right doesn’t make it right. A disclaimer: I do not own a gun. I am from the inner city, was never allowed to play with toy guns as a child and have never had an interest in hunting or shooting. But after the fiasco in Waco on Sunday — I know many will say that the stories do not parallel — how can we justify having anyone that wants to walk around with a firearm strapped to them be allowed to do so without being properly licensed? I know a defense will be that those innocent people in the restaurant were vulnerable. I feel deeply hurt for those people who never considered they would be part of a gang war when they sat down to a plate of chicken wings. But I still maintain that if you have a gun on you, there will be an inclination to use it. One of the current considerations is if law enforcement will
IMPROVE YOUR LIFE
be allowed to check people carrying a gun for their license. One state representative said the law could combat racial profiling. What? I know that there are good cops and bad cops, but I tend to support the side of law enforcement. If the police are against this measure — and by all indications the majority of law enforcement officials are opposed — then that is good enough for me. I don’t want some idiot taking a shot at me because they suffer from road rage or don’t like the way I look. Since I won’t have a gun, I won’t be able to shoot back, whether I have the right to or not ... After the tragedy in Nepal, do you think Warner Bros. Pictures might have considered a delay in the release of the earthquake movie “San Andreas?” David Mullen Based on the amount of early promotional effort behind the film — to be released May 29 — I am guessing ... “No!” Some of that marketing money would be better spent to aid the victims. ... I had a fun sighting at DFW Airport on Sunday morning at the baggage claim in Terminal C. With no fanfare, I saw Texas Rangers pitchers Ross Ohlendorf and Tanner Scheppers grab their duffle bags from the carousel and head out to Arlington. Between them, they pitched three perfect innings on Sunday afternoon in the Rangers 5-1 win ... “Mad Men,” one of my all-time favorite shows, ended with a bit of a whimper, but at least seemed to get all of the loose ends tied up. It was a beautifully crafted series — better earlier than later — but still satisfying. I once ran into the ’60s
ad icon Jerry Della Femina in New York when I was an advertising executive. I asked him “Is ‘Mad Man’ real?” Della Femina said, “Oh no. It was much worse.” Anyone think that the final scene of the last episode was what had been planned all along? ... The weather gods were crossed up this past weekend. It rained hard. They thought it was Byron Nelson Classic weekend, which has been moved to May 28-31... In the early ’80s, the casinos in Lake Tahoe were bustling with entertainers. Harrah’s had the “Big Room” (as the South Shore Room was called) and their back bar lounge on the main floor. As incentive, Harrah’s would send postcards to my parents to come up and visit and see free shows. They would hand over the postcards to me. On a snowy Tuesday night, I got to see Sammy Davis, Jr. on a free pass. It might have been one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. He could sing, dance, tell jokes and play the drums. Still wired (and young) I went to the 1 a.m. show in the lounge. It was B.B. King. He walked out on stage and scanned the crowd. Counting myself, there were 11 people. King sat down — with his beloved guitar Lucille in his arms — and said “Alright then. Let’s have some fun.” He was brilliant. I saw him a final time in Fort Worth at Bass Hall. In between he was touring as part of a classic blues festival. The show came to the Fair Park amphitheater, then called Starplex. King was the headliner on the tour everywhere but Dallas. That honor he gave to hometown star Stevie Ray Vaughn. Those moments you never forget. B.B. King died on Thursday at 89 ... AAA is predicting the most cars on the road Memorial Day weekend in 10 years. Be safe out there and watch out for pistol packing road-ragers.

Physical activity is very important, so I’m not suggesting you abandon your physical activity goal. However, if you hate walking on a treadmill, you’ll dread doing it. Instead, find an activity you enjoy so that exercise isn’t another chore on your already overflowing to-do list. By getting rid of the treadmill, you’re making room for something you’ll use and that brings you pleasure. If you answered “no” to any of the first four questions and/or “yes” to the last two, let the item go. Sell, donate, recycle or throw it away. Don’t you feel more productive and creative already?

Readers Digest published an article a number of years ago about “throwing your hat over the fence” — once you throw it over the fence you have no choice but to go get it. This is the remedy for procrastination. Like many bad habits, procrastination is easy to develop, especially in our world of multi-tasking, high-tech and an overabundance of “to-dos.” The habit of procrastination will never change until you make the decision to replace that habit with the new habit of acting and doing. Steve A Procrastination is a suicide spiral that continues until we make a decision to stop it. Procrastination or putting things off is learned early. The problem occurs when we do the trivial and postpone the important. Goals and objectives generally get put aside when procrastination takes over. Here are a few suggestions to reduce or eliminate procrastination: “Throw your hat over the fence:” Do something that forces you to act on what you may tend to delay. For instance, tell a good friend that you will begin to exercise every morning — have them call daily to check on your progress. Tell your boss that the report that’s due next week will be on his desk two days early. Use a “to-do” list: As tasks begin to pile up, write them down. Make a list of each item and put a deadline date when it needs to be completed or started. “Just do it:” Nike said it, and you should too. Just doing it now can soundly defeat procrastination. Make a decision that whenever there’s a task that you may Co-founders Nancy Black Rex Cumming David Mullen Andy Simpson Publisher Rex Cumming Editor in Chief

feel like putting off, act on it immediately. If you don’t feel like doing it — act. Action should always precede feelings. Swiss cheese it: Many times projects or tasks are delayed because there is so much to do. Spend 10 to 30 minutes working on that task and then go on to something else. Like Swiss cheese, you’re poking holes in the project and sooner than later … it’s done! Back time your list: Years ago during my radio career, I learned to back time any songs or commercials prior to the hourly news. In other words, if the network news had to be heard on the hour, anything else needed to fit within the time allowed and not go over. Back timing is giving you a deadline. Arbitrary deadlines impose a sense of urgency and Klein compel you to meet your objective. Work backwards: Once you’ve “back-timed” your work, break your project into pieces. Work on your project daily based on how long it will take to reach your objective. By the date of the deadline, the project will be completed. Do it, dump it, delegate it or delay it: Make a decision on every item on your list prior to ending the day. Delaying something to be done later is not procrastination; it’s a target date. If you can’t do an item today then dump it (it never needed to be done), delegate to someone else or delay it (with a deadline to do it). Procrastination is suicide on the installment plan! Procrastination is your decision. Make the new decision to change the habit and replace it with action. Steve A Klein is an author and talk show host.

Presidents pitch baseball at Bush Jesuit and HP play ‘Tollway Series’
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com “None of my committee members are up for trade,” 43rd U.S. President George W. Bush once said. “Our [presidential] team is clicking on all cylinders and I know how trades turn out. I’m the one that traded Sammy Sosa to the Chicago White Sox!” Now through Oct. 4, the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum on the SMU campus presents a special exhibit entitled “Baseball: America’s Presidents, America’s Pastime.” It is an impressive tribute to the role that baseball has played in American history and how often U.S. presidents turned to the game for various reasons. The best evidence of that is when you first enter the room and watch a short video in small theater on the left. The film focuses on the need for baseball to return after the 9/11 tragedy. The New York Yankees had won the American League, were hosting game three at Yankee Stadium against the Arizona Diamondbacks and Bush was throwing out the first pitch. “This is my first World Series game,” Bush confided in the player’s locker room. “I vowed that I would never go to the World Series unless the [Texas] Rangers were in it.” A seventh umpire, an armed undercover Secret Service agent would accompany the president out to the mound for the opening ceremony. The emotions of the crowd, the nervousness of a president wanting to make sure that he threw a strike and simply the memory of that distressing time in U.S. history all make for a dramatic entrance to the exhibit. President Herbert Hoover attended the World Series in 1929 and 1931 to calm fears of Americans during the Great
Depression. There are letters displayed from then baseball commissioner Kenesaw “Mountain” Landis asking the White House if baseball should continue during World War II. Six days after Japan surrendered in Sept. 1945, President Harry S. Truman threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a game. But no U.S. president was more directly involved in the game of baseball than “W,” who was the Rangers general managing partner from 1989 until 1994. He was very visible at Rangers games, promoting the club and taking pictures with

Georgia native president Jimmy Carter is standing next to Atlanta Braves Hall of Famer Hank Aaron. It is said that Carter never threw out the first pitch at a baseball game. Allegedly, the tradition of presidents throwing out the first pitch baseball game was started by William H. Taft, who is also credited for starting the “Seventh Inning Stretch.” When he stood in the seventh

It is believed that he sold his shares in the Rangers in 1998 for more than $15 million or nearly 19 times more than his initial $800,000 investment. Since he was the president most active in baseball, and the fact that it is George W’s presidential museum, the lion’s share of the exhibits are dedicated to the younger Bush. Like his father, George H. W. Bush, the 41st president of the U.S., his love of baseball came from his playing days as a youth. A striking photo of a young George H. W. Bush with Babe Ruth and a tribute to his playing days at Yale University are part of the show. The presidential displays
inning to relieve the pain from his bulky body, the crowd stood as well. That claim has been challenged for decades. The photographs of the presidents throwing out the first pitch — early throws came from a front row seat in the stands before presidents began throwing from the pitcher’s mound — was cause for a smile. One forgets how many presidents are and were lefthanded. Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, the elder Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are all lefties. Clinton threw out the first pitch on opening day to crown the new Jacobs Field

This is an exhibit for fans of baseball and fans of presidential history. There are many things to marvel over, but the most impressive takeaway is the role baseball has played in presidential politics. “In baseball,” President Ford said, “when they say you’re out, you’re out.

increase in rain causes a dramatic increase in rodent populations but also increases the spread of disease that can cause large die-offs in the species. The more water in areas can also cause an increase in the spread of disease to humans. The World Health Organization states, “Increased precipitation may increase the presence of disease vectors by expanding the size of existent larval habitat and creating new breeding.” Scientists expect the rain to keep coming this year. NOAA expects El Niño conditions to strengthen this year and above normal rainfall to continue in the fall of 2015 into 2016. In times of increased rain, it’s hard to remember water is a valuable resource. Thinking back a few months to when we were still amidst a drought, reminds us that at some point in our future the rain will be less plentiful. Wise use of our water resource, such as planting native plants and conserving water in your home, is just as important now as it is in a drought. The increase in rain is also a good reminder that whatever we put on our yards, agricultural crops (insecticides and fertilizers) and on our streets is washed into our own watershed and effects our environment. This time of plenty water is exciting as we can all celebrate turning off our sprinklers, but we can’t forget the complexity of issues more rain brings to our area.

YOUR STARS THIS WEEK By Stella Wilder
The coming week will see the lid lifted off many issues that are considered difficult, controversial or even taboo. Those that are most personal in nature will demand attention of a kind they have not received in the past. There is no place for sheepishness where dealing with these matters is concerned; everyone must have the intelligence to know that now is the time to delve into them, the confidence to do so without reservation, and the heart to see things through to their conclusion, knowing that all is for the best and that love can indeed prevail. A careful balance between the head and the heart — between what one knows and what one feels — can be struck all week long. And it should be! It may be difficult for some to come up with satisfactory arrangements that accommodate everyone's needs and desires, but that is surely the goal. Why shy away from doing so, just because it is difficult? Truly, some of the most important and beneficial accomplishments have been the most difficult in the past! GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may have trouble communicating your deepest needs to someone who is not used to thinking of you as needy in any way. (June 7-June 20) – You should make room in your week for someone who, in the past, has made very few demands on you or your time.
CANCER (June 21-July 7) A good deed completed some time ago is remembered as the week opens, and someone is likely to return the favor in more ways than one. (July 8-July 22) – It's a good week to talk about your differences with someone who shares much of your life. Good things are in the offing! LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Now is the time for you to think about yourself in a way that you haven't in the past. This new perspective allows you to see new possibilities. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – A loved one is willing to go to bat for you, even though you already owe him or her a great deal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You may have some very tricky scheduling to work out. You must do so before things come to a head in any serious way. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You may not want to be left alone, for any number of reasons. Make your desires known to that certain someone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) It may be difficult for you to keep all the balls in the air at once, but juggling your time is something you can be quite good at!

to be a little more self-sufficient by week's end. You'll soon have need of more freedom, yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You're going to have to run your ideas by someone in charge before you even think of putting them into motion. One is quite unusual! (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – Getting started will very likely prove the hardest part of each day. Is this a phase, or is it something to keep track of closely? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) You may benefit from having things speed up considerably, while others may feel as though they can't keep up. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You're interested in following through on something in a way that others do not expect, but they're almost certain to approve. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You may not be fully prepared for what comes your way, but your improvisational skills will serve you quite well. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – You're not likely to find yourself comforted by what happens as the week opens, but you can adjust quickly to the changes that come your way.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may have trouble making a certain logistical decision. Leave it to a superior to make it for you, perhaps. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may not know quite how to respond when you hear precisely what you were hoping to hear. Nothing may ever be the same! (March 6-March 20) – A mishap early in the week will cause you to be much more cautious, even during routine endeavors, until the sense of danger has passed. ARIES (March 21-April 4 If you don't have time to do something right in the first place, how will you find the time to correct it if it's done wrong? Do it right! (April 5-April 19) – You're not going to be interested in the same old things; you are after a certain amount of novelty — and spice! TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may not know what lies ahead, but you are confident that you will be able to field any questions that others may want to ask you. (May 6-May 20) – There is no such thing as being overcautious; hazards abound, even though they may not threaten you directly.

this project will produce. “She is known to push the boundaries of design,” Droese writes, in her first press release. Indeed! They may be plucking brilliant minds from out of town, but Ltd Edition is all about Dallas, as Christopher Wein, president of Great Gulf Residential, Norman and Elly Reisman of GGH, told us back in November 2013. Great Gulf chose Dallas as their very first real estate venture outside of Canada. Not New York City, not San Francisco, not even dot com rich Seattle. “Why Dallas?” Geoff Matthews, director of acquisitions and development for Great Gulf, said. “It’s the key center of economic prosperity in Texas, really in the southwest U.S. You have the Nasher Sculpture Garden, the Arts District, and you submerged a freeway to create more public space.” From the Droese press release: “Great Gulf chose Dallas as the site for this signature project because of the city’s emergence on the world stage, and its residents’ demonstrated appreciation for the finest in luxury living, art, architecture and design.” “This is not just another luxury property,” Wein said, “but a truly curated living experience. Discriminating Dallas buyers looking for an alternative to the traditional low-rise luxury home will find it here.” In 2013, we were told these would be estates in the sky.

average. Large terraces of 1,871 square feet. I am talking large terraces with actual green space built into them — sprinklered landscaping, shrubs, a patch of lawn or grass, fireplaces. Then, barbecue grills, outdoor cooking environments and kitchens. These will not be available in the common areas for everyone, but on each individual huge private terrace. Of course, Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Real Estate is the broker of choice, with the rock solid marketing team of Katye Sloan and Jeffrey Lester heading up sales. I can still hear the hush at the Winspear when Sloan said: “these homes will essentially have wrap-around porches in the sky.” Sloan and Lester were kind enough to take me to lunch a few weeks ago to fill me in on the latest with Ltd Edition. Now that Suzanne Droese and team have announced their affiliation as the publicist of record, I can tell you everything I know. Just spill the beans. Ground-breaking on Ltd Edition will take place in early 2016, which, I hate to remind you, is only a little over six months away. Note there will be 100 estate homes, NOT 60 as originally planned. That is because, after careful research and due diligence, Ltd Edition has decided to appeal to a younger affluent crowd, the "Range Rover Millionaire" millennial, who would like a slightly smaller sky home, probably because this will be one of two or more homes they will enjoy. The developer also wants to reach the baby boomer with multiple homes. In other words, yes, the “one percent,” and those who want to be around them just like the folks who fly first class from San Jose, Calif. to JUST to mingle with the passengers. “There is such a migration to our area of buyers from the east and west coasts who are accustomed to smaller living spaces,” Sloan said. “We have made changes in the sizes and options of floor plans available, but we have made no changes in the level of luxury." Thus, the smallest units will be 1,700-ish square feet, not 3,000. The thinking is, of

A new 22-story tower is planned for Turtle Creek Boulevard and Fairmount Street. course, some might want to buy 1,700 square feet alone or some might want to combine two (or more) units. In any case, there will be no more than six homes per floor. Research also showed that luxury buyers at this level wish to customize their homes, and buyers will certainly do that at Ltd Edition. The entry level price tag has also been reduced from $3 million, and there will be a few lower priced units with lower price per square footage points, at least on the lower units. Price per square foot was originally said to be $1,000, now it's closer to $800, averaging out at $950. So yes, you might as well get in for $1.7 million. Sign me up. “We found there are 72-year-old widows who are not interested in a $3 million home,” said Katye. “For them, $2 million is more appealing.” Jon Anderson, our high rise correspondent, tells me there are a couple buildings in town that do charge higher HOA fees the taller the units become.

or contemporary, with warm touches. Recall that the building will be designed as an arc so it is constantly capturing the sunlit view of the park, much like the time lapse over a flower. All units will face the parkside; exteriors will be clad in light gray masonry and glass. Every unit will have a private elevator. There are 20-foot terraces. And there are no columns, which overjoyed Siamak Hariri to no end when I interviewed him... because of the design possibilities it affords. Despite all the careful scrutiny of this project, or perhaps because of it, the marketing team has already met with more than 40 private buyers who have had an active interest in this property. There are already several buyer reservations on the property, too. Yes, several reservations and one speck of dirt have not even turned. This is why Great Gulf loves Dallas.

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Bite into dogs on Commerce Street
By Sara Newberry Brian Luscher is Dallas culinary royalty. Owner and executive chef of The Grape, he’s been honored with such accolades as Best Burger in Texas (Texas Monthly), 10 Best Foodie Spots in Dallas/Fort Worth (USA Today), and perhaps most prestigiously as the leader of Meatallica, the winner in the “brisket” category at 2013’s Meat Fight. So when he started making his own red hots — Chicago-style hot dogs — there was really no question that the masses would line up to get a taste of Luscher’s latest venture. He started small at the former White Rock Local Market, but before long you could find them packaged at local grocery stores like Local Yokal. Which is awesome, except when we want our fix and can’t get to McKinney to get it. But since Luscher’s Red Hots opened on Commerce Street back in March, we don’t have to drive any further than Deep Ellum to get our Red Hot fix! Or if you prefer, you can get a darn good burger or sandwich and some pretty stellar sides. A lot has been said about the “snap” of a Chicago dog, which comes from the slight resistance from the casing when you bite into it. The snap on a Luscher’s Red Hot is textbook. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, stop reading and go get one right now.) A Chicago dog is served with tomatoes, onions, piccalilli (a version of relish) and sport peppers (small pickled peppers), in a steamed poppy seed bun. There’s mustard, never ketchup. If you’re new to the experience, choose the Post Oak Red Hot. The “Depression Dog” is based on the Depression Sandwich legendarily created in the 1930s, which included a frankfurter topped with French fries. It’s a perfect option for you if you don’t want to get a whole order of fries. But you’d be missing out, because these fries are perfect. If you are not in the mood for a dog but have found yourself at Luscher’s Red Hots, there are several

The “Uncle Herky” burger at Luscher's Red Hots on 2653 Commerce St. in Deep Ellum. sandwiches available. The Overnight Pork Sandwich is loaded with long-cooked chunks of pork that literally fall apart as you’re eating the sandwich. To me, it’s reminiscent of the famous DiNic’s pork sandwich served at the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, with giardiniera standing in for the broccoli rabe on the Philly version. It’s an intense experience. The Eye-talian Beef is also intense, with a pile of shaved Wagyu beef and more of that giardiniera. It’s the kind of sandwich that renders a table silent — no conversation is interesting enough to tear you away from taking another bite. The burger at The Grape is somewhat high-falutin,’ with white cheddar and house-cured peppered bacon. The “Uncle Herky” burger comes with American cheese and prepared mustard. It is also made from two Wagyu beef patties and topped with horseradish pickles and grilled onions. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d had American cheese before
biting into this burger, but I wouldn’t want it any other way: the texture and saltiness balance the sweetness of the onions and the crunch of the pickle. Whatever you choose, make it a basket so you get the amazing fries and the flavorful napa slaw. The fries are golden, crisp and delivered to the table steaming hot. The slaw is creamy, with just enough vinegar-y bite. Then skip the overly mayonnaise-y potato salad and get an order of the crisp, golden onion rings instead. Service is friendly and seems as enthusiastic about the food as it warrants (that is, very). I’ve been enjoying the Red Hots since Brian Luscher started selling them on Saturdays at the White Rock Local Market and am so excited that I can enjoy them every day.

DOTTY'S TRUE TEXAS CUISINE
Anything but a standard pour By Dotty Griffith
dottykgriffith@gmail.com Standard Pour mixologist Christian Armando Guillen created a prize-winning cocktail that propelled him to a national contest. Although Guillen didn’t come away as the national Mixing Star, his South Central regional win got him a trip to New York for the finals on May 13. A native of Peru, Christian came to the U.S. with his mother and brother 10 years ago. He started working behind the bar at a few local restaurants Dotty Griffith and fell in love with the people factor. What Guillen loved most was the interactions with people at the bar and putting smiles on their faces. “Throughout the years, one learns to walk, fall, laugh, cry, but most importantly, care. When you have that, the rest will come along. I don't consider my job work even though I'm on payroll
and have to start and finish a shift. I can truly say that I love what I do. This is a different form of art and expression which I tend to keep for the rest of my life,” said the mixologist at uptown watering hole Standard Pour. THE STANDARD POUR 2900 McKinney Ave. (214) 935-1370 tspdallas.com

Singers bring one prepared piece, which doesn’t have to be memorized, and they are provided an accompanist.

But don’t get distracted by the app, which only deals with artifacts about the tragedy displayed around the actual exhibition, which I almost missed entirely.

MOVIE TRAILER
‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ is an insanely brilliant ride
By Chic DiCiccio @Chiccywood
While sitting in the theater watching the insanely brilliant/brilliantly insane “Mad Max: Fury Road,” keep in mind that the man behind all the madness is 70 years old. It took director George Miller, a man whose most recent movies involved cartoon penguins, to create something that makes the “Fast & Furious” series look like “Cannonball Run.” “Mad Max: Fury Road” is perhaps the most visceral action movie ever made. It’s manic, over the top and nerve wracking. It’s also gorgeous, poetic and touching. George Miller has crafted an all out cinematic masterpiece. After a quick tie-in to 1979s “Mad Max,” we meet Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), who will spend the next two hours running, driving, fighting and grunting his way through non-stop warfare with Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) and his gang of War Boys. Initially, Max doesn’t have a name to the War Boys. Instead, he is what is called a “blood bag,” only supplying a sick Nux (Nicholas Hoult) with fresh blood. Immortan Joe controls all the utilities for a place called the Citadel, where most people live in squalor, begging for mere bowls of water. He sends his most prized driver, Furiosa (Charlize Theron), off to bring back precious gasoline from Gas Town in her massive truck called the War Rig. Furiosa has other things in mind, mostly involving escaping with Joe’s harem of wives, whom he essentially collects. Furiosa sneaks them out and hides them in her War Rig and once Joe realizes what is going on, the chase is on.

Tom Hardy is Max Rockatansky in "Mad Max: Fury Road." From that point on, “Mad Max: Fury Road” is relentless. Vehicles and human bodies flip and twist in the air like some sort of metallic, combustible ballet. Each sequence gets more and more insane, almost in an effort to one-up the mind-blowing action you only saw ten minutes prior. The most amazing thing that Miller and his cinematographer, John Seale, have done is make all of this insanity viewable. The geography of these massive scale action scenes is never lost and it’s quite easy to follow along with everything that is happening. The quick push-ins on characters faces add to the jarring aspect of “Fury Road” and turn the intensity up to levels that is almost unbearable. While editing is not something many people notice in movies, it is impossible to ignore here. There are shots that seem to last less than a second, all tied seamlessly in by editor Jason Ballantine. If you are the type of person that gambles on Academy Award wins, go ahead and place the safe money on “Mad Max: Fury Road”

eyes off him. When his reply to a character is a grunt, you somehow know exactly what said grunt means. While Hardy is well known for his previous work by several moviegoers, “Mad Max: Fury Road” will make him a massive star. George Miller initially started his plans for this movie in 1998. After several hiccups and delays, he has created an action masterpiece. It is a riotous action movie that will keep people pouring into theaters for weeks, all while tricking them into seeing a brilliant work of cinematic art. “Mad Max: Fury Road” is the new template for all future action movies to be judged.

HANDY-MAN SERVICE
for Best Editing as it is a lock. While “acting” isn’t the main ingredient for “Mad Max: Fury Road,” it plays a big part in it. The three main characters played by Hardy, Theron and Hoult are all wonderfully written and portrayed, even when they aren’t actually speaking. Hardy may not say fifty words in the entire film, but Hoult more than makes up for that with his nonstop gibberish and crazed, drug-induced stupor almost stealing the entire movie. Hoult lays his English accent on really thick, making his accent that much more difficult to understand and adding to the bizarre world that Miller has plunged us in. He undergoes the biggest plot shift in the movie and if not for Hoult’s sweet, almost childlike presence, his entire storyline may not have worked. “Mad Max: Fury Road” belongs to Hardy and Theron. Their actions speak much louder than their words, only adding to the mythology of this post-apocalyptic world. It’s difficult to picture anyone but Theron as Furiosa. This is not
only some of the best acting she has ever done, it’s one of the greatest action performances ever written and committed to film. She’s empowering and intimidating, even when she seems vulnerable. If fairness was truly important, Theron would be nominated for Best Actress, regardless of the fact that this will be deemed as “just an action movie” by Academy Award voter snobbery. Tom Hardy has completed his transformation into Marlon Brando. Everything is at his disposal here, from his physicality down to a simple shrug or half grin that is potentially the movie’s finest moment. When Hardy speaks, you cannot take your
