enton activist preacher the Rev. Jeff Hood (who led the now-defunct queer church that used to meet at Mable Peabody’s Beauty Parlor & Chainsaw Repair) has somehow found the time to publish an eighth book, The Rearing of an American Evangelical. The young pastor, who made television news last Friday night in the protest at the Dallas County Jail after the death of Joseph Hutcheson, has five children with his wife, Emily. Check out the book — which chronicles his journey from fundamentalist Christianity to his progressive Christianity — by visiting http://bit.ly/1JglsUB. ■ The Texas Woman’s University Flute Choir performed a showcase concert at the 43rd National Flute Association annual convention last week in Washington, D.C. This marks the choir’s fifth performance at a yearly convention for the association, the largest flute organization in the world. The choir, which features students from the TWU and Brookhaven College flute choirs, is directed by Pamela Youngblood, a music professor and the chairwoman of the TWU Department of Music and Drama. The TWU choir was chosen from a record number of entries from national and international groups to perform at the convention. ■ We didn’t know that New Yorker and Texas Monthly cartoonist Matthew Diffee was born here in Denton.

It’s just a trailer, but we couldn’t help noticing the closing shot was the artist in front of the nighttime Dallas skyline. Which is not part of “the 940” AV has been so devoted to and has done so much to popularize regionally. ■ Baylor University researchers teamed up with researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of Southern California to examine the racial attitudes of multiracial Christian congregations. What the researchers found out is that ethnic minorities in multiracial congregations are less progressive than congregations of largely black and Hispanic Christians when it comes to the topic of racial inequality. In multiracial congregations, researchers found that more black and Hispanic congregants said racial inequality is the result of personal motivation and choices — a point of view consistent with white congregations researchers examined. In predominantly black and Hispanic congregations, congregants cite discrimination as the root cause of racial inequality. ■ Want a shot of nobility with your oil change? Kwik Kar Lube and Auto Centers of Denton will donate 10 percent of total sales to the Eureka 2 Project on Saturday. Project volunteers will provide face painting for the kids. All three of Kwik Kar’s Denton locations are participating. ■ We’re going to say this once: Do not act as your own orthodontist using rubber bands. This DIY “braces challenge” is madness. The only legitimate way to straighten your teeth is to pay a highly trained sadist a lot of money to do it.

Back-to-school set Jessie Frye goes to campus for an outdoor concert
A
ll those unexpected angular notes from Obsidian are nowhere to be found on the latest by Denton’s Jessie Frye. Boys Club, Frye’s upcoming EP, drops the Tori Amos-inspired classical piano jolts in favor of a more traditional
pop-rock sound. The guitar takes more of the center stage on numbers like “One in a Million,” and where Frye’s raucous piano provided percussive beats on Obsidian, the drum kit does the rhythmic cuing here. Frye has been marching steadily toward a louder and more frank sort of style for a while, and with this upcoming record, she’s committed to the hair-thrashing, knees-up marching sound. Think Para-
more, but with a keener intuition for indie melody. Oh, and on this record, Frye trots out a powerful contralto — the woman has a lower register, and knows when to deploy it. To gear up for the release of Boys Club and to help kick off the fall semester, Frye will play on the University of North Texas Willis Library Mall at 7 p.m. Monday. The library is at 1506 Highland St. — Lucinda Breeding

OPENING FRIDAY Hitman: Agent 47 ( ★1⁄2)★The idea of the high-tech, emotionless supersoldier is so popular in movies, it’s practically a convention — see the Terminator and Bourne franchises, and even last year’s animated Big Hero 6. The same formula is at work in Hitman: Agent 47, a stylized shoot-’em-up based on a video game.

in the ranks and now wants to eliminate evidence of the experiment that gave Mike his secret talents, overseen by Connie Britton’s more sympathetic Victoria Lasseter. To prevent her former student’s death, she sneaks to the convenience store and activates Mike with a few code words. When a handful of thugs come to kill him, Mike is astounded to find himself expertly stabbing one with a spoon. Afterward, he cowers behind a lamppost, looking at the bloody wreckage: “I have, like, a lot of anxiety about this,” he tells Phoebe. Much mayhem ensues, surprisingly violent and cartoonish in its extremes. The small town
comes entirely under siege. American Ultra is a stoner’s paranoia come to life. A toothless Walton Goggins joins the strong ensemble as the nuttiest of the CIA’s small army, along with John Leguizamo as a local drug dealer. The assembled talent could use more character development and a little more wit in place of the sadistic, fun-draining comic-book action scenes that increasingly co-opts the comedy, which is too dependent on the eventually tiresome joke of Eisenberg as action hero. But American Ultra has its simple genre charms, thanks significantly to its entertaining cast and leading pair. Stewart, in particular, looks like she’s punching below her weight class. As if often the case, Stewart’s the best thing in the movie. And she and Eisenberg remain lazy losers we can love, Bonnie and Clyde for a more laid-back generation.

The A-word
Lily Tomlin shines in bittersweet film about abortion and aging
By Jocelyn Noveck
Denton Time
08 20 15
AP National Writer
A movie about a wisecracking grandma and her teen granddaughter, racing around in a beat-up car to find $600 by nightfall. You might think it sounds like any number of mediocre road comedies out there, full of trite generational gags and sporting a sappy, all-is-forgiven ending. You’d be very wrong. Grandma is, instead, a brisk, bittersweet and moving film, rightfully devoted to displaying the singular talent of Lily Tomlin — especially her striking ability to fuse acerbity and crankiness with empathy and humanity, and to find the essential lovability way, way down at the core of an unlikeable person. The film, directed and written by Paul Weitz, is also about abortion, a theme that could easily have taken over every line and frame. But somehow, it leaves us thinking even more about what it means to be someone’s mother, someone’s daughter, someone’s granddaughter — and what it means to grow old. Credit for that last part goes to Tomlin and also to Sam Elliott, who darned near steals the show in a scene with Tomlin that, well, they should immediately start showing in acting classes — to demonstrate what two actors can convey in just a few minutes about a lifelong relationship. Tomlin is Elle, a brilliant poet and professor who, perhaps due to her facility with words, doesn’t mince them. We meet Elle in her living room, mid-breakup with her younger girlfriend (Judy Greer). “You were a footnote,” Elle tells her lover, with resigned honesty more than spite. But in the shower later, alone, she weeps.

We soon learn Elle is still suffering the loss of her longtime romantic partner, Violet, which explains much of her bitterness. She’s also clearly at odds with her stressed, workaholic daughter, Judy (Marcia Gay Harden, pitch-perfect). But when teen granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner, appealingly natural) comes knocking, Elle’s ready to help. Turns out Sage needs an abortion, and fast; the only free appointment is that evening, and it’s $600, which has Elle immediately ranting about how it’s impossible to get a reasonably priced abortion these days.

has no money, but doesn’t want to bring her judgmental mother into the picture. Elle herself is fairly broke, scraping by on a college writer-in-residence gig. She’s recently paid off her debt and cut her credit cards into scraps, which now serve as wind chimes. Elle is angry — as we see in an unnervingly funny minibreakdown she has in a coffee shop — but not at Sage. First, she’s angry at Sage’s obnoxious, good-for-nothing boyfriend, who has no intention of contributing to the abortion until Elle pretty much beats him — physically — into submission and grabs the few dollars he has. They also try Elle’s old friend Deathy (Laverne Cox, of Orange Is the New Black), a tattoo artist who can only offer a free tattoo. Elle has one more idea: Karl, an old flame. She shows up on his doorstep, and at first, it seems like it’ll be an easy solu-
tion. But then the layers of the onion get peeled back — suddenly, startlingly. Karl’s laconic demeanor and sexy drawl make it all the more shocking when his emotion — rage, resentment, and more — comes gushing forth. The scene is not to be missed. Of course, Judy (Harden) eventually must emerge, and she’s a trip: She works at a treadmill desk, and has espresso running through her veins. But Judy isn’t the shrew she initially seems. In one of the better scenes, three generations of women come together for a moment — very brief — in which it becomes clear that even in the nuttiest families, there are bonds that supersede all that craziness. We won’t spoil the story, but in the end, it’s just Elle on the screen. As it should be. Tomlin, at 75, is operating at full throttle, and she deserves that final shot, all alone.
