T

he man who carried a semiautomatic rifle to the Square on Monday has an digital footprint trailed by some unsettling crumbs. Stephen Passariello took a loaded AR-15 to the Square and confronted longtime local activist Willie Hudspeth as he protested the Denton County Confederate Soldiers Memorial.

Within hours of the confrontation, social media sleuths began sharing damning sentiments posted under Passariello’s account. One screen capture shows a conversation about race and crime in which he wrote: “Get the [expletive] lynching ropes out.” In another post, he proposes torture as a method of countering extremism.

By Wednesday, screen caps were up on lefty political websites, along with his photo.

■ We observed an orange Nissan pickup with personalized license plate “FRENCHY” roll through the stop sign on eastbound Mulberry Street at Locust Street.

Who cares, right? Well, there were cars coming. Cutting it a little close, Frenchy?

■ A reader has a recommendation for Denton Community Market shoppers: Try the ‘Sugar Queen’ cantaloupes at the booth of an Aubrey farm vendor. He reports that they are “wonderfully sweet.” The market is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday, April through November, at Mulberry and Carroll Boulevard.

■ We’ve been watching Denton resident Whitney Hennen sing and dance for years. The local performer got a glowing feature in D-FW theater blog Theater Jones.com. Hennen, daughter of local roots musician Joe Pat Hennen (and one half of the first same-sex marriage at the Denton Courthouse on the Square), plays the title role in Sweet Charity at Addison’s WaterTower Theatre, opening on Friday. Read Theater Jones’ feature at http://bit.ly/1TSeMUD and make reservations for the musical here: http://bit.ly/1cD3xxv.

What he doesn’t know is that Princess Fiona is cursed, and becomes an ogre at night.

The DCT Theatre School performs the live-action musical, with Joshua Burley as Shrek, Seyla Williams-Bates as Princess Fiona and Timothy Bernal as Donkey. The large cast fleshes

Princess Fiona (Seyla Williams-Bates) shakes off a curse in DCT Theatre School’s “Shrek Jr.” out the swamp and the kingdoms they travel through to get to that happily ever after.

rock Besson can’t get enough of himself.

Besson is the singular man in the one-man show I’m Always on My Mind.

On Friday in Carrollton, Uppermost Entertainment opens the one-man musical about the handsome, charismatic and intelligent Besson — who is oblivious to his vanity.

The 90-minute show is written by playwright Scott Rolfe Jo-

sephson. Plano actor Ken Orman plays Besson, a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard who was president of his fraternity and has since become an A-list, single businessman.

The show is directed by television and Broadway actress Linda Leonard (of Cats). On My Mind follows Besson’s journey through therapy and relationships through tunes along the way.

Uppermost Entertainment is based in Frisco, and focuses on creating and producing shows for television, the stage and online streaming platforms. Company principals Lisa Bills and

Leslie O’Hare come to center stage with a quarter-century of experience in creating, producing, directing, acting, and writing in a variety of productions.

I’m Always on My Mind premieres at Theatre 166, 2425 Parker Road in Carrollton. The show will be staged in the theater’s black box theater. The production will run Friday and Saturdays, July 24 through Aug. 22.

Performances are at 2 p.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Jealousy laid bare in Dallas group’s ‘Othello’ S

econd Thought Theatre closes its 2015 season with William Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello, at Bryant Hall on the Kalita Humphreys Theater Campus, 3636 Turtle Creek Blvd. in Dallas.

The play, which runs through Aug. 8, tells a tale of jealousy, love, betrayal and seduction.

The play stars Tyrees Allen as Othello and Alex Organ as Iago, with Morgan Garrett, Taylor Harris and others rounding out the cast. Director Joel Ferrell, is returning to the company after a critically acclaimed run with Gruesome Playground Injuries in 2013.

Ferrell’s staging is minimal-

ist, with little separation between the performers and the audience.

Ferrell said the staging is meant to make the audience think about whether they would intervene in the characters’ plotting.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays, and 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets cost $25, with “pay what you can” performances this Monday and on Aug. 3. For reservations, visit http:// bit.ly/1IjEgGm. For more information visit http://secondthoughttheatre. com.

Austin alt-rockers Nic Armstrong and the Thieves will make a stop in Denton today when they play at Dan’s Silverleaf.

Armstrong rolls in with a sound that is reminiscent of the British Invasion, but with twangy, Texas-inspired rock.

And that makes sense, considering that Armstrong and the Thieves got their start in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England.

The band released a six-track EP, Pocketless Shirt, in 2013.

Strains of 1960s blues and rock put a little Rolling Stones chutzpah in the souls of the musicians.

Total K.O. Gyllenhaal knocks out a victorious performance again

By Chase Whale Film Critic

Fear the man with “FEAR NO MAN” tattooed across his back.

This is the nerve-jangling tattoo inked into Billy Hope’s skin, and it’s exactly how he fights in the ring. He’s a hungry pit bull who feeds off getting the pulp beat out of him before landing his final blow for a knockout victory.

His method of madness has kept him from losing a fight — he’s currently the undisputed lightweight champion of the world. His sensible wife (Rachel McAdams) lovingly reminds him that this way of fighting is some day going to leave him mentally handicapped. He thinks that’s funny.

In the beginning, Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal) has it all: fame, money, a beautiful wife and a daughter. He’s on top of the world once we meet him, but it doesn’t last long. All good things come to an end, as they say.

When tragedy strikes and Hope loses everything, including custody of his daughter, he falls deep into the rabbit hole of selfdestruction.

After a bit of cleaning and wising up, Hope goes to boxing trainer Titus “Tick” Wills (Forest Whitaker), a professional who trains only those with maturity — something Hope doesn’t have at the moment. If he wants to

Jake Gyllenhaal bulked up to transform himself into the rough-andtough fighter Billy Hope in “Southpaw.”

The Weinstein Co.

win his daughter and title back, he must learn resilience in the face of adversity. This will be the ultimate fight of his life.

Southpaw is the most realistic, bone-crunching boxing movie to come along in a long while. It’s up there with, yes, Rocky and Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull.

Like Rocky, Southpaw is about love, not boxing or being a gangster. And like Rocky Balboa, Hope grew up poor and isn’t very educated. He has come a long way but still has a long road ahead of him. The fire in his eyes shows he feels the need to constantly prove he’s worthy, a somebody. This is his Achilles’ heel.

There have been a lot of great boxing movies since Balboa first stepped in the ring — Raging Bull (being the most notable),

The Fighter and Million Dollar Baby, to name a few — but the madness, tears, hope and edgeof-your-seat raw intensity Southpaw pounds out makes it one of the best. It would be fair to call it this generation’s Rocky.

It’s a lean and mean moving picture that — excuse the pun — pulls no punches. Its grim realism will make you feel angry, sad and fired-up.

Southpaw’s triumph-overtragedy story stars Jake Gyllenhaal, who sneaked his way into being one of the greatest and most versatile actors of our time.

Gyllenhaal has been a chameleon in his recent roles. In last year’s excellent Nightcrawler,he wowed audiences as a vicious, rail-thin con-artist-turned-convideographer who lets nothing stand in his way of becoming the king of grabbing news media

footage.

As left-handed boxer Billy Hope, Gyllenhaal turned up the heat and bulked up his figure so thoroughly that he’s almost unrecognizable. When he’s on screen, I don’t see Gyllenhaal the actor. I see Billy Hope, the fighter. His stirring and mighty performance is worthy of Oscar recognition. Southpaw is another victory lap in his career.

Southpaw is directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) and written by Kurt Sutter (creator of Sons of Anarchy), and is the last film scored by the late,

The locals implore results, dividing the village. Another him to reopen his meeting hall,

great James Horner (Braveheart, Titanic), who died last month in a plane crash. If you need another reason to see Southpaw, it’s to hear his sublime score, which adds more punch to the sharp and fierce boxing scenes.

Southpaw is a rebellious boxing movie about dropping that inflamed ego and doing what it takes to recover and revel in the maddening mess life can throw like a swift right hook. It’s bold and biting. It’s frenetic and filthy. It’s a rare movie about a bloody sport and learning to live and love again.

Southpaw is a knockout and one of the most sterling films of 2015.

QuakeCon this weekend in Dallas features a huge LAN party — gamers from North Texas and beyond bring their own computers to play alongside each other on a local area network. The free four-day event starts today at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas.

Multiplayer magnitude

By Nicholas Friedman Staff Writer nfriedman@dentonrc.com

For the last 19 years, the QuakeCon video game expo in Dallas has rocked the gaming world. With games like Fallout 4, Doom and more leading the pack, this year’s convention, which starts today and runs through Sunday, is looking to break new ground.

QuakeCon, at its inauguration in 1996, was held to showcase the franchises of Id Software, a game development studio based in Richardson.

Id developed legacy video game titles such as Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake

Long-running Dallas video game expo is a four-day feast for fans and Commander Keen.

For years, the convention focused solely on titles within these series, but when Id was acquired by ZeniMax Media in 2009, the game library grew tenfold, bringing titles like Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Dishonored and The Evil Within to the Hilton Anatole, off Interstate 35E in Dallas.

“It’s a celebration of these games,” University of North Texas computer sci-

ence junior Cory Cleaveland said. “The big appeal of the convention is a massive LAN [local area network] party that takes place every year.”

The annual network party usually draws a huge crowd, Cleaveland said, as attendees reserve space in the main convention hall and set up their computers for the night. From there, whether solo or in a group, gamers will link up and run through matches of first-person shooter

Counter-Strike, multiplayer online battle arena League of Legends and more, not just staying within the realm of Quake.

“This is my fourth time at the convention,” Cleaveland said. “I’ve noticed the amount of people who attend grows every year and that PC gaming has become so popular.”

This year’s main presentations will unveil anticipated new products. There’s a Fallout 4 gameplay footage, taking players back into the Wasteland in a post-apocalyptic role-playing shooter.

The convention will have a Doom panel, See QUAKECON on 10

MOVIES Continued from Page 8 Pixels ( 1★ ⁄2) The most believable element in Pixels is that alien videogame creatures could attack our planet. The core concept is clever — space aliens misunderstand a recording of old video-games as a declaration of war, and send digital monsters based on those games to Earth as their army. But its execution in the hands of director-producer Chris Columbus and star-producer Adam Sandler is a mess. This disappointing comedy falls apart before it begins.

The few bright spots come from the music, celebrity cameos and special effects. With Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Paul Blart, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage. Rated PG-13, 106 minutes. — The Associated Press Paper Towns Based on an earlier teen fave novel by The Fault in Our Stars author John Green, Paper Towns is part mystery story, part road movie and part pre-prom graduation romp. It hinges on the lifelong fascination the smart, semi-dweeby Quentin (Nat Wolff) nurses for his across-the-street neighbor Margo (Cara Delevingne). Best friends and partner in crime as young kids, they’ve grown apart since Margo became hot and popular, so it comes as a jolting surprise to Q when Margo dares him to take her out in his parents’ car to exact revenge on her cheating boyfriend. And then she disappears. Rated PG-13, 108 minutes.

— The Hollywood Reporter

NOW PLAYING Ant-Man ( ★1⁄2)★Marvel’s Ant-Man is a film not quite sure of itself, like it’s wearing clothes a size too big.

Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang, a politically motivated cat burglar just released from prison who’s trying to right himself for the sake of his young daughter, Cassie (Abby Ryder Forston), and for paying child support to his ex-wife (Judy Greer). Lang is recruited by the original Ant-Man, scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), to succeed him in the suit. Along with his daughter (Evangeline Lilly), he’s conspiring to prevent a former apprentice (Corey Stoll) from unlocking the atomic secrets of shrinking down to bug-size, yet maintaining strength. The movie is too controlled for Rudd’s goofball charm. With Michal Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Tip “T.I.” Harris, David Dastmalchian and Michael Pena.

Directed by Peyton Reed (Bring It On, The Break-Up). Rated PG-13, 124 minutes. — AP Inside Out ( ★ ★1⁄2★ ) Pixar’s ★ animated Inside Out is a clever film about the importance of family — told through the thoughts of an 11-year-old girl, Riley (voiced by Kaitlyn Dias). When Riley’s family moves to San Francisco, her emotions have to put in some heavy work. Joy (Amy Poehler) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith) get sucked out of their spots in Riley’s brain, and they have to get back before she’s left with only Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) forever. The film is full of magical worlds inside

just one, and it’s one of the most colorful of co-director Pete Docter’s career. It’s a film for both adults and kids (as long as they aren’t afraid of clowns). Rated PG, 94 minutes. — Chase Whale Jurassic World ( ★ ★ ★) It’s here, and it’s not as spectacular as it could have been, but it’s good enough to satisfy your hunger for another good summer blockbuster. Jurassic World takes place more than 20 years after 1993’s original Jurassic Park. Scientists at the theme park lab have started getting creative, breeding bigger, tougher, meaner hybrids. The cast is rounded out with smart and gifted actors: Chris Pratt as Owen, a velociraptor trainer; Vincent D’Onofrio as one of his bosses, the sinister Hoskins; and Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire, who’s high up on the chain at Jurassic World. Claire’s two nephews (Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins) come to visit, and by the time she’s ready for some family bonding, all hell has broken loose. Director Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) makes some head-scratching choices in his first big studio film. Rated PG-13, 124 minutes. — C.W. Magic Mike XXL ( ★1⁄2)★Two hours of often rambling setup finally leads 20th Century Fox Film Corporation to a long-awaited climax when Mike Lane (the well-nigh irresistible Chaninemark Denton continues its summer movie clubhouse — a series of daytime secning Tatum), fellow chiseled stud ond-run family movies especially for young audiences.

Somehow, R&B pop music (Destiny’s Child, Willow Those who fondly remember the Smith and Lady Gaga) reinterpreted in the helium-voiced medium of the chipmunks makes original Magic Mike will be sad to the predicament better.
