Feds urged to meet UN deadline Domestic violence. All countries called on to have plans to end abuse against women by 2015 Survivors of domestic violence, aboriginal women, and MPs were among people who rallied in Ottawa Thursday to call for a national plan to end violence against women. The United Nations has called on all countries to have plans by 2015. “Working on a broad political, economic, structural response is critical,” said Susan Young, director of the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses (OAITH). She said a national action plan should include legislation, funding, and a public inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Nisha Dansal, who co-chairs OAITH’s survivors’ advisory committee, said survivors should help develop a national plan. “We are the survivors, we

have the experience, so we know what we need,” said Dansal, who said she was in an abusive relationship for 23 years. “I was completely isolated from the outside world. I wasn’t allowed to say hello to my neighbour.” Dansal said she left the relationship in 2004. “If I wouldn’t have left him, I would have been killed, and my daughters too.” According to OAITH, a woman is murdered by her spouse in Canada every six days, a stat derived from 2009 Statistics Canada data. “On any given day, there’s 8,200 women that find themselves in shelters with children, so whether it affects you directly or not, all of us know someone that it does affect,” said Eva Kratochvil, who also co-chairs the survivors advisory committee. NDP MP Niki Ashton and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May joined the rally at Parliament Hill. Rona Ambrose, minister for the status of women, was not available for comment.

Naomi Klein to attend PowerShift conference Award-winning journalist Naomi Klein will be joining Harvard University graduate and internationally-acclaimed author Winona LaDuke in Ottawa and Gatineau for PowerShift 2012. More than 1,500 youth will attend the Oct. 26-29 conference at the University of Ottawa where workshops, panel discussions and activities will lead a discussion about climate change and social injustice. According to the PowerShift website, the last day of the gathering will include an advocacy campaign to “end the $1.4 billion in handouts the federal government gives to oil and gas industry ever year.” More information about the event is available at wearepowershift. ca.

Officer charged with criminal harassment, again Gatineau police say they have charged one of their own for a second time with criminal harassment. The officer was first charged in February, officials said, but a second separate complainant came forward to police Wednesday, and the officer was arrested and charged Thursday. A police spokeswoman said the harassment was not related to the officer’s duties and instead related to his personal life. David Berard, a 12-year veteran of the force, was remanded into custody and will appear in court again on Monday. SEAN MCKIBBON/METRO

Trips reduced. OC Transpo Unlicensed. Inquest announces service changes announced in toddler’s OC Transpo announced a num- additional two or three min- pool death at daycare ber of service changes to be utes for their bus as a result of implemented between Dec. 23 and Jan. 7 on Thursday. One of the more significant changes involve reducing the number of trips on several lines to account for higher capacity on new double-decker buses. “The new schedules will reduce the number of trips, while still keeping enough capacity for the actual ridership levels,” reads a memo on the changes from OC Transpo general manager John Manconi, released Thursday afternoon. The memo adds that some customers will have to wait an

the change. Service on Route 130 will be extended via Brian Coburn Boulevard to Millennium Station, and a new Sunday service will be introduced on Route 177 — subject to council’s approval of OC Transpo’s 2013 budget. Buses will be increased on Routes Five and 93 during the busiest hours on Monday and Friday to reduce crowding. Manconi said the full details of the changes will be released in December.

The east region coroner’s office has announced an inquest into the drowning death of two-year-old Jeremie Audette. Dr. Roger Skinner, the regional supervising coroner for the east region, revealed an inquest into Audette’s death will be held in Ottawa in November. Audette died in July 2010 in a backyard pool while under the supervision of an unlicensed daycare provider. Skinner is examining the circumstances behind the

toddler’s death with the aim of making recommendations to prevent similar incidents in the future. He declined to comment on the decision to look into Audette’s death, saying the details will come out during the inquest. A total of 15 days have been put aside for the inquest, which is expected to hear from 23 witnesses. It begins on Nov. 26 at the Ottawa Courthouse. Dr. Louise McNaughton-Filion will preside.

Ontario election timing not up to PCs: Hudak Quoted Criticism. Progressive Conservatives continue “This basically locks a to hammer McGuinty government that wasn’t over prorogation doing its job on autopilot.”

ALEX BOUTILIER

alex.boutilier@metronews.ca

Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak downplayed a media report Thursday that said he believes a spring election is in the cards. Hudak said the timing of the next election rests with the next premier and Liberal leader, not with his party. “We don’t actually know when the election is going to happen, whether a new premier will call it right away or not,” Hudak said Thursday morning. “Whenever that comes, that election, people will know where we stand. And we’re laying out piece-by-piece, brickby-brick, our plan to get the economy moving and balance the books of the province.” The opposition parties,

Tim Hudak on Dalton McGuinty’s decision to prorogue the legislature

which together hold a majority in Queen’s Park, could force a spring election by voting down the Liberals’ next budget. Hudak would not speculate, however, as to whether his party would vote against the next budget as they did last March. Hudak, travelling through Ottawa Wednesday and Thursday, continued to criticize Premier Dalton McGuinty’s decision to shut down business at Queen’s Park. McGuinty announced he had prorogued the legislature on Oct. 15, the same day he shocked the province by announcing he would be stepping back. By proroguing, McGuinty ensured the Liberals would not be forced into an election before a new leader is selected

— a move panned by experts as an abuse of power for partisan gain. McGuinty recently defended the move, saying that the legislature was no longer working.

But Hudak suggested it had more to do with the legislative committee investigating the cancellation of two gas plants in Liberal ridings — a decision that cost the province hundreds of millions of dollars.

Mental health. Prisoners with illness should be treated in hospital: Official

Sword stabbing. Man accused of murder points finger at roommate

Doctors at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre say they support the Correctional Investigator of Canada’s recommendation this week to treat federal prisoners with mental illnesses in hospitals, not prisons. “An offender with a physical illness gets treated in a community hospital by people who specialize in health care,” said Dr. A.G. Ahmed in a press release. “Why do we deny those with mental illness this same basic right?” Howard Sapers, Canada’s correctional investigator, reported on Tuesday that correctional staff members are not trained to deal with selfharming prisoners. “It’s very gratifying to know that experts in the mental-health community are supportive of our findings,” said Sapers of the Royal’s communiqué. His report found self-harm in federal prisons has almost tripled in the last five years. He said some prisoners are permanently brain-damaged or physically disfigured as a result of self-injury, while others spend thousands of

A man accused of seconddegree murder in the death of Dominic Doyon told a jury Thursday he wasn’t the one who stabbed his roommate with a sword, even though he told police he did. Toby Land, 28, said it was his other roommate, Carl St. Cyr, who wielded a sword on Doyon on May 4, 2009, although he admitted using a hammer to strike Doyon. After moving in with St. Cyr and Doyon at an apartment on Murray Street, he made it clear that he didn’t approve of Doyon dating a 14-year-old girl. One time he said he walked in on them without their shirts on. The jury also heard Land was sexually abused when he was a kid, and in his early teens had a physical altercation with his father. He agreed with one of his lawyers, Anne London Weinstein, that he got into fights with people who he thought had hurt children or women. On the night of the sword attack, Land said he drank about eight “king cans” of Budweiser and then confronted Doyon — who was in his 30s at

days recovering in hospitals. “Not only is there a huge cost in terms of human lives, quality of life, and dignity; there’s also a huge financial cost in transferring these folks back and forth between prisons and hospitals,” said Sapers. He said that while the Correctional Service of Canada has received funding for training, computerized screening and assessment and policies that provide guidance to correctional staff, significant gaps remain. He added that the correctional service should purchase more services from provinces and territories for high-risk, mentally ill offenders.

the time — about his relationship with the young girl. “I said, ‘You’re a piece of sh--. What’s wrong with you? You’re a diddler,’” recalled Land. “Then he said it’s his life and he can do whatever he wants.” That’s when Land saw Doyon pull a sword from in between the couches. Then Land grabbed a hammer with his right hand and started swinging at Doyon, striking him in the head and hands, he said. He said he blacked out and the next thing he remembered was St. Cyr pulling the sword from his hand to use it on Doyon. “I remember he stabbed him in the leg,” said Land. “He stabbed him in the stomach and pulled (it) out and I saw blood fly and it hit me.” In a video interview with Det. Sean Gordon shortly after the incident, Land said he was the one who stabbed Doyon in the stomach or chest. He admitted in court he lied to police to protect his friend. “I was trying to protect Carl, mostly because of his kids,” Land said. “He was a good father.” joe lofaro/metro

Start of something new. Comedienne prepares for Final Days! finale A mysterious mouth infection, four-hour-long surgery and a three-month-long recovery may slow down some 65-year-olds. Not Andrea Martin. The SCTV veteran said a fluke but potentially deadly strep virus made her reexamine her one-woman show, Final Days! Everything Must Go! “It was a nostalgic look at my past. I wanted to share with my fans where I come from,” she said. “Now, I want to share with them where I’m going and where I am in the moment. It’s much more about the present.” While she prepares to perform Final Days! one last time, Martin is already working on her next project, a revival of the 1970s Broadway musical Pippin. “When you’re face to face with something that could be life-threatening, you make a bucket list of all the things you want to do that you’ve never done,” she said. Along with learning new skills, Martin said being a part of Pippin fulfils her childhood dream of joining

the circus. “These young people from Europe do acrobatics, aerial acts, juggling, trapeze, contortion — so I feel like I’m in a different world,” she said. “I could just sit there all day long and look at everybody.” Despite her new lease on life, Martin said comedy remains the core of her work. “If I can alleviate problems, stress, worry, or anxiety in people’s lives, then I feel I’ve done my job,” she said.

Along with cuts to the public service, some 70 journalists found themselves out of work in Ottawa this summer. Laid off from Postmedia, editor Alan Kors has turned a negative into a positive, forging a new business restoring old photos, using skills he learned in the newsroom. “What has more resonance than old family photos?” said Kors from his home in the Glebe. “I really love old photos.

There’s a different look to them. It’s a window on a different time.” Kors discovered his passion when a friend sent him a picture of a relative’s grandmother. The shot had been scorched in a fire that burned the rest of the photo album. “It was the one picture left from the fire. There was enough there that I reconstructed it,” he said. “I’ve had photos that took days to fix. It’s a nice thing to take something that looks ready for the garbage can and make it whole again.” Now teaching Photoshop in a multimedia class at Algonquin College, Kors is taking his skills in a wholly different direction. “A lot of these skills I’ve gained through journalism,” he said. “Part of my job was to find and fix art and make sure the photos looked appropriate.” He said photo restoration and the preservation of old photos through digitization is a mostly untapped market. “It’s a unique gift that’s not another gadget. Something that has emotional resonance for the gift receiver.”

Conrad Black loses Order of Canada hearing bid Ruling. Advisory council deciding whether or not former media baron can retain award of distinction Former media tycoon Conrad Black has lost his bid to force a hearing before the Order of Canada advisory council. The council is deciding whether to recommend he be stripped of his 1990 honour after being convicted of fraud and obstruction of justice in the United States. Black wanted to take his case in person, but the council refused. Federal Court on Thursday said it would not interfere. In its ruling, the court said the council’s refusal is not immune from judicial review but that procedural fairness and natural justice do not require an oral hearing. The court said Black can make his arguments for keeping the honour in writing. Meanwhile, an American

this month, Judge William Hart of the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois blasted Black as “intransigent.” Hart was especially unhappy with Black’s denunciation of the courts and justice system in

a book he has written. Black, who spent three years in prison for fraud and obstruction of justice, has requested a stay of the judgment while he appeals related convictions. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Correctional Service an ‘abuser,’ lawyer tells court Ashley Smith inquest. Judge rejected the government’s request to stop the probe into teenager’s death in jail With one court challenge out of the way, the inquest into the prison death of teenager Ashley Smith is now expected to carry on next week. The government’s failed attempt at stopping the inquest proceedings has angered Smith’s family. Their lawyer says Correctional Service Canada is out of control. Prison officials don’t want the public to see disturbing surveillance video of Smith’s treatment before her choking death five years ago. However, a Divisional Court judge rejected their bid for an emergency stay. The inquest is expected to resume on Oct. 31. The decision to continue with the inquest came amid assertions prison authorities

Omnibus budget bill. Tories move to limit debate on legislation Just one week after introducing it, the Conservative government is moving to fast-track its controversial omnibus budget bill. The House of Commons passed a motion Thursday to impose time allocation on Bill C-45, essentially limiting how long it can be debated by members of parliament. “They’ve introduced a law and then right away they introduce time allocation,” interim Liberal leader Bob Rae said after the motion passed. “I think it’s pretty strange and pretty bizarre. “I don’t find it a normal way to conduct public business to introduce a time-allocation bill Brothels

Poll: Obama losing ground among female supporters Poll shows no harm done. Romney narrowly leading with female voters, despite ‘rape’ comments made by Senate candidate A hoarse President Barack Obama swung into a second day of a campaigning blitz in a narrowing race while a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows he has ceded his 16-point advantage among women, a surprising drop among a key group that is crucial to his winning a second term. The poll also shows Republican challenger Mitt Romney is favoured by 47 per cent of likely voters to 45 per cent for the president less than two weeks before election day.

Obama has been working to build his support among men, who tend to be more Republican than women. A month ago, Romney’s advantage among men was 13 percentage points. Now it’s down to five points, with most of the shift toward Obama coming among unmarried men. Obama was campaigning in Florida, Virginia and Ohio on Thursday before heading back to the White House. He and former President Bill Clinton will campaign together Monday for the first time, opening the final full week before election day with a three-state battleground blitz in Ohio, Florida and Virginia, three of the most important yet-undecided states. Romney was kicking off a daylong swing through three Ohio towns, sharpening his focus on a state that is critical to his hopes of winning the White House. Public polling has shown Obama with a slim lead.

Wounded activist girl will return home: Father Malala Yousufzai. 15-year-old shot for advocating education for Pakistani girls recovering in England The father of a 15-year-old Pakistani activist girl who was shot and wounded by a Taliban gunman vowed Thursday that she would return home after finishing medical treatment abroad despite new insurgent threats against her. Since she was shot on Oct. 9 in northwestern Pakistan, Malala has become a hero both at home and internationally, although her work in speaking out against Taliban atrocities and advocating for girls’ education has long been respected and known beyond her native Swat Valley. The comments by her father, Ziauddin Yousufzai, were recorded by Pakistani state television. He’s expected to fly soon to Britain to see his daughter and it was the first time he has spoken publicly since the shooting.

At the age of 11, Malala began writing a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC about life under the Taliban in Swat. After the military ousted the militants in 2009, she began publicly speaking out about the need for girls’ education. She appeared frequently in the media and was given one of the country’s highest civilian honours for her bravery. A Taliban gunman shot her in the neck and head as she was in a school bus on her way home from school in the Swat Valley city of Mingora. Two other girls were injured. She was airlifted to a hospital in Britain on Oct. 15. The Taliban have vowed to kill her, raising questions about whether it would be safe for her to return, but her father dispelled reports the family might seek asylum abroad. “I first laughed at it because all of our sacrifices, my personal (sacrifices), or this attack on my daughter, cannot have such a cheap purpose that we would go to some other country and live the rest of our life there,” he said, speaking in Urdu.

Finger-pointing

Iran leader blames Israel, U.S. for Syrian civil war Iran’s Supreme Leader is blaming the U.S. and Israel for the bloody, 19-month civil war in Syria. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also warns Western powers not to intervene in the conflict. In his message to Muslims performing the annual hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, he char-

ges that the civil war, which he characterized as “young Muslims killing each other,” is a “crime initiated by the United States and the Zionist regime, Israel,” punishing Syria for resisting Israeli occupation and supporting anti-Israel Palestinian and Lebanese groups. His statement was read Thursday on Iranian state TV. Iran has been a close ally of Syria for decades. It has staunchly supported the regime of President Bashar Assad during the civil war.

Strained partnership

Two U.S. troops killed in apparent insider attack in Afghanistan A man in an Afghan police uniform shot and killed two American service members Thursday, in what appeared to be the latest in a rash of attacks on international forces this year by their Afghan partners.

breaking point a partnership that U.S. and NATO officials consider a key part of their exit plan — preparing the Afghans to take over responsibility for their country’s security in just over two years’ time. It was the second suspected insider attack in two days. On Wednesday, two British service members and an Afghan police officer were killed in an “exchange of gunfire” in Helmand province, the British Ministry of Defence said in a statement.

From a petri dish to your plate Metro talks to biotechnologist Isha Datar on why your tacos could contain lab-grown meat in the future.

metro custom publishing

Contributed/Dave Gillespie

Growing, slaughtering and processing animals for food create lots of problems. There are animal-welfare concerns, for example: animals housed and transported in what many consider inhumane conditions. Then there are sustainability issues — large animals consume a lot of resources. But biotechnologist Isha Datar thinks there’s a solution: “animal-free” meat grown from cells in a lab. In 2010 Datar examined possibilities for growing meat in vitro that hadn’t yet been explored; her investigation contributed to the development of Canada’s first in

vitro meat lab at the University of Alberta. What motivated you to investigate the possibility of creating meat in vitro? In vitro meat could address nearly all our meat-related issues — animal rights and sustainability being the major ones. But there are tons of (other) issues. Meat production involves having a lot of animals close together, in close contact with humans, too. This makes excellent conditions for viruses to evolve. Bird flu, swine flu — it is no coincidence that these are

diseases from animals that we raise for food. Sustainability-wise, it’s about minimizing the use of water and land, and minimizing the output of greenhouse gases and other wastes. What is unique about your approach? My personal agenda is to make the world look at high-tech foods fairly. We have so many preconceived notions of technology in food — that it is unsafe, or disgusting. But I think these are primarily driven by fear, not facts. Golden Rice (genetically modified to produce more vitamin A and thus reduce blindness) was shut down mostly out of fear. The Enviropig, which was modified to excrete less phosphorus in its waste (thereby reducing algal growths that damage water systems) was also shut down. Why is the public shutting down these ideas without understanding them? I want to change that. How long might it be before cultured meat is available to consumers? This is hard to say because scaling up the technology to produce in vitro meat is complicated. Cultured meat

is going to look something like ground beef in the beginning … more like a mushed-up product than something structured like a steak. There are discussions of bringing it to market as a filler for ground meat products. I don’t know how much I agree with this marketing scheme. I think it would be great to introduce in-vitro meat as a high-end gastronomy experience. Put it in a fancy taco! Have you received any criticism of your initiative? The greatest criticism is that we could adopt vegetarian diets instead of resorting to a high-tech solution like in vitro meat. But for most of us, we want options. In-vitro meat is another option. Who is your hero or heroine? Bill Nye is my hero. He went from being an engineer at Boeing to doing standup comedy to doing the Bill Nye the Science Guy show to patenting a ballet shoe. He highlights all the things you can do in science. Are you vegetarian yourself? Not at all! kathy ullyott/for metro

For a company that has launched products with Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and Jay Leno — and has even paid to light up the Empire State Building in its signature colours — Microsoft’s unveiling of Windows 8 on Thursday was a subdued affair. Windows 8 is Microsoft’s radical reimagining of its ubiquitous operating system. What makes it vastly different from past Windows releases is that it’s designed from the ground up to work on touchenabled PCs and tablet computers. Microsoft is also making its own tablet computer, the Surface, marking the first time that it will manufacture a general-purpose computer. Both the Surface and Windows 8 will go on sale Friday.

Woody talks wood: Actor backs Prairie eco-paper company Actor Woody Harrelson has played every character from a gullible bartender to an irascible porn publisher to the drunken hero in The Hunger Games, but in real life he wants to be a paper-industry revolutionary who saves forests from chainsaws. Harrelson, on the phone from Atlanta, Ga., where he’s filming the sequel to The Hunger Games and reprising his role as the heavy drinking Haymitch Abernathy, says his support of Manitoba-based Prairie Pulp and Paper Inc., is not an act. Prairie Pulp and Paper

Inc., produces paper made from waste wheat straw, and Harrelson said he wants to get in on the movement that will see North America’s first non-wood pulp-and-paper mill set up in Manitoba. “When we build a plant there in Manitoba, it’s going to be 100 per cent wood free ... really from agricultural waste,” said Harrelson, a twotime Academy Award nominee. “I’d like to see a revolution in the paper industry and I think this is an important part of that process.” Prairie Pulp and Paper has commissioned an environ-

mental study that concludes that the company’s recently launched Step Forward wheat-based paper has the least amount of environmental impact among North American copy papers, including 100 per cent recycled paper. Step Forward paper, currently made in India with 80 per cent waste wheat straw and 20 per cent wood fibres, has been available at more than 330 Staples stores across Canada since last summer. Of the seven categories studied, Step Forward was found to have the lowest environmental impacts with Air Canada

Alberta discovery

Fossil find leads to theory

Feathers possibly used for courtship A set of 70-million-year-old fossils found in Alberta has added weight to theories that dinosaurs may have first sprouted feathers to show off, not take off. Darla Zelenitsky, a paleontologist at the University of Calgary, says three years of study on dinosaur fossils found near Drumheller, Alta., suggest that the features most closely linked with flight evolved for a completely different reason.

“These wing-like structures would have been used for reproductive activities (courtship, display, brooding) and were only later ... co-opted for other roles including flight.” From a paper published Thursday in the journal Science

Dinosaur dig • The fossils — the oldest

feathered dinosaurs ever found — are from three members of the species Ornithomimus edmontonicus (pictured above in an artistic reconstruction), an agile, two-legged dinosaur that looked like a large ostrich and most likely lived off a mixed diet of leaves, eggs and small animals.

• At about 150 kilograms,

the dinosaur was too big to fly. The fossils also suggest real feathers didn’t grow until adulthood.

RICHARD CROUSE AND MARK BRESLIN

The year’s ‘most’ movie Cloud Atlas. Sprawling epic from the Wachowskis is threaded together by a somewhat trite sentiment Richard: Mark, the movie’s structure seems random at first, but as the running time ticks on connections begin to assert themselves and through lines emerge. Each story has a distinct look and feel, but share a common cast. Each actor plays many characters — so to stop your mind from wandering, you may find yourself playing a Where’s Waldo game, trying to identify the actors in their various guises. Did you find it confusing? Mark: All part of the game, Richard, all part of the game. And the Wachowskis are nothing if not game

players. There are some people who will think this is the best movie of the year. I don’t know about that, but it is the most movie of the year — eight movies by my count. Usually after I see a film I want to go for coffee — after Cloud Atlas I felt I needed a vacation. But you can’t fault its ambition. What you can question is its spiritual balderdash of “we are all connected.” If so, why won’t Spielberg return my calls? RC: I hear you, it is a whole lotta movie. I also get what you mean about the idea that we are all connected. While spiritually satisfying, it is the most simplistic of the movie’s concepts. We get it in the first hour, it’s reinforced in the second and by the end of the third act you want to scream, “I know! I know! We’re all connected!” What did you think about each actor taking on six roles?

MB: Part of the fun, and an Oscar shoo-in for whoever did the makeup. There is another theme to the movie that I found less trite, which is humanity’s pursuit of freedom and free will over the ages. Some of the stories make this point better than others. I was most engrossed in the Seoul 2144 plot and least impressed with the nursing home geezers, although Jim Broadbent was terrific, as always. But I found it kind of depressing to find that in the far, far future, we all talk like Ozark hillbillies. RC: I liked the nursing home story! But then again, Benny Hill always made me laugh. The action scenes, however, let me down. Surprisingly for directors who redefined movie action in their Matrix trilogy, the anticipated Wachowskis touch is missing in the bigger set pieces. MB: I think if the action

Words like audacious and ambitious will be used to describe the sprawling threehour saga from co-directors Lana and Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer. Based on a novel by British author David Mitchell, the story careens through history like a time machine with a broken steering wheel. It’s a nonlinear epic that connects six characters — make that souls — throughout different times in history. •

Sarah Silverman. Star can get obsessive when it comes to video games

metronews.ca WEEKEND, October 26-28, 2012

Kids’ movie is about mid-life crisis: Reilly Wreck-It Ralph. Film about a video game bad guy has Boogie Nights actor voicing the main character Ned Ehrbar

Wreck-It Ralph opens next Friday. handout

In Wreck-It Ralph, Sarah Silverman voices a sprightly, sweetly obnoxious glitch of a driver in Sugar Rush, a Candyland-themed racing game. But when it comes to her own gaming preferences, Silverman admits she goes in for stuff a bit more violent — like the classic James Bond multiplayer shooting game Goldeneye. But that doesn’t mean she’d want to live in it. How much of a video game fan are you? I grew up near an arcade called Space Center that my sisters and I would go to all the time, and the Dairy Queen where I worked had a game called Joust that I was obsessed with, that I would master between dipped cones. And then I got really into Nintendo 64. Actually, when I was working on Mr. Show, they got Nintendo 64 Goldeneye, and any time any of us weren’t shooting, we were playing that obsessively. I would dream about it. I think I know every square inch of

Runaway

If Sarah Silverman could run away to a video game, which would it be? “I don’t know, because all my favourite games are terrifying killing games, so I don’t think I’d want to go in there — although all my dreams are action-adventure lately. But I think I would pick something more like golf or ‘the Sims’ or something, where I can socialize and not be scared.

To hear John C. Reilly tell it, Wreck-It Ralph — in which he voices the titular video game bad guy who leaves his game on a quest to become a hero instead — is a movie about a midlife crisis. But the folks in marketing at Disney probably don’t want to put that on the posters, he admits. How much of a video game fan were you before this movie? You know, I think there’s not enough hours in the day these days to play video games, having a family and stuff — especially given how complicated they are. Just learning the game takes hours at this point. But it certainly made a big impact on my life when I was a kid. I’m of a generation that was there when Space Invaders first came out. Maybe there was a game before that one, but to me that was the huge game-changer. I just think it’s hard for people to appreciate these days what a big change that was, because there were no computers,

no cellphones. I didn’t even have a VCR at that point, so the idea that you could manipulate something on a television screen? Just that alone, let alone what the game was about and how cool the game was, just the

ability to do that was huge. And you kind of had to use your imagination back then. I think [the graphics] did seem realistic — compared to Pong, you know? The first game, I guess, was Pong, before Space Invaders. If you could disappear into a game yourself, which would you choose? To tell you the truth, the idea of being trapped in a video game seems kind of nightmarish to me. I mean, they’re all a fight for survival. I think life is enough like that already. That said ... I don’t know. I

have always wondered what those cherries tasted like in Pac Man. It’s been 15 years since Boogie Nights came out. It has? You know, as Bob Dylan said, I’m an artist, I don’t look back. Or something like that. He said, “She’s an artist, she don’t look back.” Yeah, I don’t spend too much time watching stuff I’ve done, to tell you the truth. It just makes you feel old. I don’t think you’re old. Well, I’m older than I was 15 years ago.

Chasing Mavericks Director. Curtis Hanson, Michael Apted Stars. Gerard Butler, Jonny Weston

••••• As frustratingly formulaic as it is, Chasing Mavericks has a strange allure. Whether it’s the skillful performances, expert cinematography or the hippie magnetism of surfer logic, this true story about a teen (Jonny Weston) who attempts to conquer the world’s largest waves under the guidance of a seasoned surfer (Gerard Butler) is much more cohesive than expected, especially considering Michael Apted assumed directing duties for Curtis Hanson midway through due to health concerns. steve gow

The question of where we go when we die — if we’ve been bad — is parsed in Kevin Miller’s intriguing but ultimately frustrating Hellbound? By interviewing a wide range of theologians reaping disparate positions, Miller creates an impression of balance, but the film proceeds from a basic assumption of belief on behalf of the viewer — a position that may limit its appeal. It also doesn’t help that Miller uses 9/11 and Ground Zero as a shortcut to the emotions this otherwise talky and at times downright abstract documentary can’t quite access.

•••••

The Paperboy may be the long-awaited follow-up to the award-winning hit Precious but director Lee Daniels’ shouldn’t hold his breath for nominations this Oscar season. Set in 1969, this Southern melodrama explores two brothers investigating the questionably incarcerated hillbilly husband of an oversexed seductress (Kidman). While Daniels’ cloaks the film in intolerance and tension, the rambling plot and overcalculated shocks simply antagonize its audience — especially an infamous scene involving Kidman peeing on Zac Efron’s jellyfish sting.

Truth may be stranger than fiction but in Stories We Tell, Sarah Polley proves it to be particularly compelling as well. A four-year semi-secret project, the actress-turned-Oscar-nominated filmmaker explores her ebullient late-mother’s possible infidelity and her own biological probability through family interviews and a fascinating blend of real and recreated footage. Not only is it stirring drama but the film’s such an engrossing dissection of truth and memory, it’ll leave you curious about your own family’s stories.

Daniel Craig. He’s back as Bond in Skyfall; Metro met his grumpier side

metronews.ca WEEKEND, October 26-28, 2012

Javier Bardem on being bad, very bad An evil legacy. Actor has some big shoes to fill as the latest Bond villain — here are his tricks for being bad Ned Ehrbar

It’s hard work being a sexy spy. handout

James Bond: Skilled assassin, notorious ladies man and … professional kvetch? It seems that way when we meet Daniel Craig, star of the new Skyfall. In this 23rd Bond adventure, directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty), Bond hits Macau and Shanghai and battles a villain (Javier Bardem) who’s tech-savvy and dangerously flirtatious. Meanwhile, MI6 boss M (Judi Dench) is under threat in an exploding London. Mixing old school Bond theatrics with a new school look, this sounds like fun— right Daniel? Right? “I had to do a lot of running in this movie, which I hate,” Craig says, grimacing. “I end up doing a day’s filming which on paper should look fairly easy. I don’t have any dialogue. It says, ‘Bond goes from to A to B, then he goes from B to C.’ But he goes from A to B at a lick, he runs down the stairs, he runs up the stairs, and we have to do 10 takes at a time, so by the end of it I’m just (gasping).” “Bond,” he summarizes, “doesn’t usually walk through a room.”

Metro World News in Hollywood

It’s hard to be an icon...

So what makes Daniel Craig happy? Really, truly happy? Being Bond. Being an icon. “Of course, I suppose I was concerned about being typecast,” he says. “But when you weigh it up it’s not a bad thing to be typecast as James Bond, is it really?” He laughs. “I can say that now — it’s easier now.”

No doubt. Skyfall is filled with adventure, including an underwater fight sequence that Craig enjoyed — between takes. “Nobody can find you when you’re underwater,” he says. “When we’re not shooting, I swim to the bottom — it’s a huge, great big tank at Pinewood (Studios, in the U.K.), about 30 feet deep. And I just sink to the bottom, put the respirator in and hide. And it’s so great. Sometimes I fall asleep as well. And then you hear a voice saying, ‘Where’s Daniel?’” ned ehrbar, mwn

As Silva, the new big bad guy in Skyfall, Javier Bardem joins a long and impressive legacy of Bond villains that includes such icons as Blofeld and Scaramanga. So how does Bardem make his entry into the canon stand out? Director Sam Mendes had a few ideas: “I want a certain kind of villain, and I have a very particular idea of the kind of flamboyant, lipsmacking relish of this kind of villain that dates back to the early Bond movies, the Connery pictures,” Mendes explains. Here, some key elements a larger-than-life bad guy needs to cross James Bond: An air of menace This is a bad guy who gets his kicks playing with people, according to Bardem. “We started thinking about it, and Sam gave me this great note, which is uncomfortableness,” he says. “We wanted to create somebody that creates uncomfortable situations rather than being somebody scary and threatening, somebody that really create a scenario

of insecurity, of something unexpected.” That sense of uncomfortableness comes across strongest during a charged scene in which Silva begins flirting with Bond. “It was part of the game, but he’s not entirely gay,” Bardem explains. “The main goal was to create uncomfortableness. Within that, you can read anything you wish. But he’s more into the thing of putting the other person into an uncomfortable position, where even James Bond himself doesn’t know how to get out of it. He creates something that’s a spectacle.”

A sense of fun But he also knows how to lighten the mood when he needs to. “Camp is a word that somebody taught me the other day. Now I know what camp is,” Bardem admits. “I realized that we were dealing with something that was fun to play, and that will also bring the opportunity to do kind of a little humble homage to the Bond classics mixed with something more modern.” A personal connection It becomes clear before long that Silva has past ties to MI6 and its head, M (Judi Dench),

a connection that makes him all the more threatening. “There’s a clear motive. Something happened to him that changed his whole perspective of the world that has to do with the motive in the movie,” explains Bardem. “So I think the power of this character is that we understand what he’s going through, what he went through. It’s very personal. It’s very human. This is not a man with bigger thoughts of destroying the world or something like that. It’s more like a person with a very specific goal in mind. And that makes him even more dangerous.”

Ice may be famous, but Coco’s the star

Ice-T is the former rapper and actor, but his impossibly curvy and obviously adored wife, Coco, is the star of the couple’s reality series, Ice Loves Coco. The 33-year-old model and entrepreneur (last name: Marrow, “but she just goes by Coco,” says an E! spokeswoman) is a sweet, sincere, slightly spoiled gal wrapped in a blond-haired Jessica Rabbit package. She favours form-fitting, bosom-baring clothing and perfect makeup, whether she’s running a meeting for her clothing line, checking out building plans on her new house or walking her two bulldogs, Maximus and Spartacus. Her 900,000 Twitter followers also know she’s fond of posting nearly naked photos of herself, especially

on “thong Thursday.” Coco talked with The Associated Press about what fans can expect from her and the show’s new season, premiering Sunday on E! What’s the appeal of Ice Loves Coco? I think because it’s just plain different. If you look at all the housewives shows, they do nothing but bicker and argue and fight and throw punches, and that’s what Ice Loves Coco isn’t. It’s a positive show and a loving show and I think people are kind of sick of all the negativity out there. Your fans already get to see a lot of you on Twitter! People have their own way of thinking, like ‘Oh that crazy Coco.’ But you know what? I’m just trying to add a little colour into people’s lives. I’m definitely not boring. And just because I’m married doesn’t mean I can’t show my body anymore. I work really, really hard at the gym, you know? So let me do my thing. What can viewers expect from the third season of

Any other highlights? People will get to see me be a meteorologist on (New Jersey’s) Fox 5. It’s actually kind of a dream of mine because that’s what I wanted to do as an occupation when I was a little girl, so I get to finally do that. You know how you ask little girls what they want to be, and they’re like, “A ballerina?” I wanted to be a meteorologist. I’m so into the weather. I literally watch the Weather Channel umpteen hours a day and it will say the same weather over and over, but I’m just in total awe about how weather, like, transforms into storms and systems and tornadoes. I know I’m a little strange and crazy this way, but weather’s my thing. the associated press

Cruise suing ‘sleazy’ mags for $50M over story that he ‘abandoned’ Suri Questioning Tom Cruise’s parenting skills can come with a hefty fee, as tabloid Life & Style Weekly has discovered. The movie star is suing the magazine — along with sister publication In Touch — for $50 million over stories alleging Cruise has all but abandoned his daughter, Suri, in the wake of his divorce from Katie Holmes,

Spears’ former manager claims she used hard drugs during meltdown

according to the Hollywood Reporter. “Tom is a caring father who dearly loves Suri. To say he has ‘abandoned’ her is a vicious lie,” Cruise’s lawyer, Bert Fields, says in a statement. “When these sleazepeddlers try to make money with disgusting lies about his relationship with his child, you bet he’s going to sue.”

New light is being shed on Britney Spears’ infamous 2007 head-shaving meltdown. Former manager Sam Lufti — who is suing Spears and her family for libel, defamation, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and breach of contract — claims that the singer had been using hard drugs at the time and was worried a judge might request a test of her hair, possibly leading to her losing custody of her young children, according to the Daily Beast. “She told me she wanted to get clean, but

Timberlake under fire over joke wedding video

Justin Timberlake is under fire for a joke video played at his $6.5 million wedding to Jessica Biel that featured Los Angeles homeless people offering the happy couple well wishes, according to Gawker. The eight-minute video, Greetings from Your Hollywood Friends Who Just Couldn’t Make It, was produced by Timberlake’s friend Justin Huchel and features

toothless men saying, “Justin and Jessica, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I hope the wedding goes fine for you. My gift is in the mail.” Huchel’s attorney insists it’s all in good fun, telling the website, “Mr. Huchel made (the) video to be used and exhibited privately at Justin Timberlake’s wedding as a private joke without Mr. Timberlake’s knowledge.”

Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy part ways quietly the word

Dorothy Robinson scene@metronews.ca

Well, this is awkward. Just weeks after Taylor Swift, 22, purchased a $4.5 million dollar home in Hyannis Port, Mass., to be closer to her new boyfriend, Conor Kennedy, 18, Us Weekly is

reporting they have split up. “They quietly parted ways a while ago,” a friend of Swift’s tells Us Weekly. “It was just a distance thing. No hard feelings. They’re fine.” Apparently, Swift was busy promoting her new album Red and wasn’t able to see much of Kennedy. That, and the dude is 18 and a junior in high school, so he has some time before he needs to be serious with any global pop stars. And really, this is great for Swift. I bet she’s writing a new song right at this very moment and wondering what rhymes with “Catholic.”

Dan Aykroyd has been called lots of things during his career: Not Ready For Primetime Player, Blues Brother, Ghostbuster, bar owner and winemaker. As if those weren’t enough titles to make his business card the size of a pizza carton, a few years ago he added distiller to his resumé. Not that he’s set up a still in his garage. Aykroyd’s working with a company in Newfoundland to create Crystal Head Vodka ($44.98 - $54.99), using the province’s pristine water. What really sets Crystal Head apart from the rest of the neutral spirit pack is during the final stage of the quadruple-distillation process (which is unique in itself), the booze is filtrated through 500-million yearold quartz crystals known as Herkimer diamonds. Apparently that’s a good thing because the output has no additives, is as smooth as silk and mixes like a dream — or should I say nightmare? With Halloween around the corner, the coolest part of this vodka is its bottle. It is shaped like a human skull — kind of like the ones in the last Indiana Jones movie -— which makes it the perfect base for a very bloody mary or caesar.

Halloween isn’t just for kids; adults deserve to have a blast too. Whether you’re 21 or 61 (or even 91), a good Halloween party is the only way to bid adieu to October. Owner of Killer Condiments (killercondiments.com) and Food Network Canada chef Andrea Nicholson is known for her time on Top Chef Canada and whipping restaurants into shape on the new season of Restaurant Takeover. The busy chef filled us in on how to make the most out of your Halloween party this year. What’s your favourite part about Halloween? My favourite part is putting my costume together. I always buy my costumes at secondhand stores. They are great for inspiration and always deliver hilarious ensembles. Not to mention, the costumes are cheap. Any good ideas for a homemade twist on a traditional Halloween candy? The Halloween treat I looked forward to the most as a kid was those small bags of potato chips. Homemade chips are so easy to make. Fry up some thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes, season them with a mixture of sea salt, cayenne pepper and a pinch of sugar. They are spicy

3. For face, press on candy corn nose, mini candycoated chocolates for eyes and make a stitched mouth with chocolate sprinkles.

eat. What’s the grossest thing you’ve ever seen offered up at a party? I went to a ‘70s-themed party and people were asked to bring a dish inspired by the era. A friend of mine made a cottage cheese, mayo, lime Jell-O, pineapple and marshmallow salad. It was wrong on so many levels, the worst part was the texture of the lettuce and Jell-O together.

Stern announces plan to retire

The Detroit Tigers’ Prince Fielder is called out at home plate on a tag by Giants catcher Buster Posey during the second inning of Game 2 of the World Series Thursday in San Francisco. MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Regular-season records count for little MLB. Both Giants and Tigers won their divisions, but were not top teams in their leagues over 162 games Best in baseball? The Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants spent much of the season trying to catch mediocre teams like the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers just to win their divisions. Those up-and-down regular seasons are distant memories now that the Giants and Tigers have raced through the playoffs and are getting ready for Game 2 of the World Series in San Francisco on Thursday night. “You know what, I think

these are the best two teams and the hottest teams, too,” Tigers reliever Jose Valverde said. “The first two months, you see Detroit is in last place. Chicago, Cleveland, everybody’s laughing. What happened now?” For much of its history, baseball was a gruelling, six-month endurance test, with only the top team in each league going to the post-season. Now, with six divisions and four wild-card teams, it’s more a matter of just getting into the tournament and getting on a roll in October. “I think ideally you like to see the teams that have the best record end up there,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “But as we have mentioned many times, once you get to the playoffs, it does become a little bit of a crap shoot,

The Giants trailed the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West as late as mid-August before making a strong run to win the division and finish tied with the third-best record in the National League.

who’s playing the best at that time. You understand that. That’s why wild-card teams have done well. A lot of them are fighting to get there, but they’re also playing well at the right time.” In the 18 post-seasons since the playoffs expanded in 1995, the team with the best overall record in the regular season ended up as World Series champion just three times.

•

The Tigers were merely six games over .500 with three weeks left in the regular season and made the playoffs despite posting the seventh-best record in the American League.

The Yankees did it twice, in 1998 and 2009, and Boston accomplished it as well in 2007. That one-out-of-six rate is little better than if the champion was chosen randomly. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mavs’ dealings with West get messy Mavericks guard Delonte West was suspended Thursday for the second time in as many weeks for conduct detrimental to the team, putting his future in Dallas in doubt. The first suspension lasted about a day, but a series of tweets by West soon after the team announced the latest suspension raised questions about whether he would return this time. “Just dont kick me ... on the way out the door,” West tweeted. “I didn’t do anything to deserve that.”

NBA commissioner David Stern will retire on Feb. 1, 2014, 30 years after he took charge of the league. He will be replaced by deputy commissioner Adam Silver. The announcement came at an NBA board of governors meeting Thursday. Stern, 70, told owners during their two days of meetings of his plans and the board unanimously decided Silver would be his successor. “I decided that things are in great shape and there’s an organization in place that will ultimately be led by Adam that is totally prepared to take it to the next level,” Stern said.

League pulls 50-50 offer off the table

NHL. Deal called for even split of hockeyrelated revenue for the next six or seven years

Now the NHL is skating backwards. The league is withdrawing its last offer now that a self-imposed deadline to save a full 82-game regular season with playoffs has passed. It’s a matter of raising the stakes in what has become a game of chicken with NHL players. “I think owners want us to be fearful of missing another year,” said Calgary Flames forward Mike Cammalleri. “Guys unanimously feel the same way. The lockout feels like a shakedown. That’s kind of the feeling across the board.” Cammalleri, working out in Toronto, told the Torstar News Service he can’t understand why the NHL wants

more than the $800 million in concessions the players have offered. “There’s no good answer to why except: ‘We think we can lock you out and your careers are short and we can

shake you down,’” he said. “It’s not a good feeling.” The league didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, but deputy commissioner Bill Daly told ESPN he expected to

notify the players’ association about the league’s decision. “We’re going to take it back internally and figure out where we go from here,” said Daly. “This proposal no longer works because it was a proposal to save 82 games. We have to rethink where we are, and what type of season we’re looking at.” Agent Allan Walsh, one of the league’s fiercest critics, dismissed the move on his Twitter feed, saying it was out of the “owners’ playbook: Deadline passes, take offer off table, give players reduced offer, tell players it’s only going to get worse.”

Head smart. Hockey Canada releases concussion app Hockey Canada has launched a new smartphone app aimed at reducing brain injuries in the sport. Available in both English and French, and with versions for adults and kids, the app includes medically approved information on everything from concussion symptoms to return-to-play protocol. “You can have your phone on the bench — it’s that close,” said Hockey Canada president Bob Nicholson. “It’s right in the (coach or trainer’s) hands.” In development for more than a year, the app is available for BlackBerry, iPhone and Android and can be downloaded for free from Hockey Canada’s website, BlackBerry’s App World, iTunes or the Google Play Store.

Horoscopes

Aries

Taurus

April 21 - May 21 The more you help a friend or neighbour today, the more you will help yourself. So, be tolerant of their failings and be prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt. Your fates are closely entwined.

Gemini

May 22 - June 21 If you are serious about changing the habits of a lifetime, the approaching full moon will help you make the transition. But the effort must come from you and it must come quick or the opportunity will be gone.

Cancer

June 22 - July 23 You have lots of energy and even more enthusiasm at the moment but do you have a target worth aiming for? Creatively and artistically this is a great time of year for you, so start building that masterpiece.

Leo

July 24 - Aug. 23 Some kind of emotional upheaval is likely today but that need not be a bad thing. In fact, it could be good in that it forces long-term resentments out into the open where they can at last be dealt with.

Libra

Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 There is a good chance that you will come into money over the next few days, and there is an equally good chance that you will waste it on some luxury item you don’t really need. Still, easy come, easy go.

Scorpio

Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 You will be extremely demanding today, both of yourself and of other people. If you have faith in your own abilities — and you do — there is precious little you cannot achieve. Reach for the stars and own them.

Sagittarius

Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You need to rise above setbacks and see the positive in everything that happens. If you can do that today, the approaching full moon won’t do you much harm. And you’ll be in a position to help others.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 The most important thing now is that you refuse to jump to conclusions. You certainly should not condemn people just because they approach life from a different direction or perspective.

Aquarius

Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 You can accomplish great things over the next few days but you will also need to ignore the negative vibes that come from a work colleague or even your employer. You can do it.

Yesterday’s Crossword

Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Your social life is looking good at the moment but you are advised not to get carried away. If you burn the candle at both ends now, you could be too slow to take advantage of an opportunity on the weekend.

Feb. 20 - March 20 You have total faith in your own abilities and that’s just as well because you’re surrounded by people who don’t share your upbeat outlook on life. How do you best deal with them? You ignore them. SALLY BROMPTON

March Goes Out and March Comes In

March 21 - April 20 You have a secret – something even your best friends don’t know about. Keep it that way. Knowledge is power and the less others know about what you are up, to the better. Not that it’s bad, of course.
