THE BULLHORN

The Adult Day Health Care Domino Effect 0G A/@/ 1:/@3<0/16

O

N FRIDAY, May 29, Gov. Schwarzenegger announced another $3 billion in budget cuts that include eliminating adult day healthcare centers (ADHCs) as a Medi-Cal benefit in California, thus displacing over 36,000 beneficiaries statewide. Given the frailty of the adult day health client population, institutional care will be the only option left for thousands, just as demographic trends and national policy are shifting toward home and community-based care. Here in Santa Cruz, Salud Para La Gente operates the county’s only ADHC, Elderday, located at 100 Pioneer St. in the city of Santa Cruz. Elderday currently has 133 enrolled participants, and averages 81 participants per day, five days a week. In calendar year 2008 Elderday had 19,300 participant visits. Among Elderday’s participants, the three top medical diagnoses are heart problems (50 percent of the participants), diabetes (34 percent) and cardiovascular problems (30 percent). Eighteen percent of the participants are diagnosed with dementia and an additional 8 percent with Alzheimer’s. Twenty-two Elderday participants suffer “wandering� issues, 23 need medication management, 13 exhibit psychotic behaviors and 42 are “fall risks.� As is the case statewide, the overwhelming majority of Elderday’s participants are entirely dependent on Medi-Cal support for that care. Participants are poor, frail and in ill-health. Without adult day health care, many participants will deteriorate and will have to move into a nursing home at four times the cost to the taxpayer. Elderday estimates that if the program closes, within 30 days of closure 13 participants will have gone to skilled nursing facilities; 18 will have gone to a hospital emergency room. Within six months of closure, an additional 27 elders will be in skilled nursing facilities, and an additional 31 will have gone to a hospital emergency room. Closing Elderday will disastrously impact not only the participants themselves, but also their families and caregivers who depend on Elderday as their only affordable source of safe, secure, and reliable supervision for the elders. Working caregivers will be forced to give up paying jobs and face their own impoverishment to care for their elders. Elderday employees will also be impacted—they’ll lose their jobs. On Wednesday, June 3, the Legislature’s Joint Budget Conference Committee took public testimony on the governor’s proposal to eliminate Medi-Cal funding for adult day health centers. Representatives of adult day health centers testified in opposition to the governor’s proposal. The Conference Committee is presently conferring in closed session and will shortly make its decision. Salud urges all Santa Cruz Weekly readers to voice their support for ADHC funding by contacting our legislators and the governor and first lady. Assembly: Bill Monning—831.425.1503, Anna Caballero—831.759.8676; Senate: Joe Simitian—831.425.0401, Abel Maldonado—831.657.6315; the governor and first lady—916.445.2841. For a list of contacts for conference committee heads and other legislative leaders, call Salud Para La Gente at 831.728.8250. Sara Clarenbach is director of Advocacy, Community Engagement and Community Relations for Salud Para la Gente.

well, but Santa Cruz has had issues with loitering, drug use and public urination for more than 20 years. The kids usually don’t cause much of a problem, but I think they attracted some negative attention.� Mathews doesn’t deny meeting with church leadership several times last month, but says she only got involved when other residents began complaining about the youths. She also says that owning a house in the area didn’t affect her decision to try and crack down on the street kids, and that the “hostile environment� they created had become intolerable. As for Jack’s Hamburgers, Hutchinson says she spoke with Norse two weeks ago after fliers showed up downtown that labeled her restaurant “anti-homeless� and “anti-youth.� She says, however, that once the two groups started talking, they quickly reached an accord. “I remember hearing about the fliers and thinking, Wow, that’s really not true. We’ve been in Santa Cruz almost 20 years and we’ve served everyone. We’re certainly not antihomeless or anti-youth,� she says. “So I called Robert [Norse] and said, ‘Look, here are my concerns.’ He told me his concerns, and

in the end we came to an agreement.� The “agreement� Hutchinson talks about is laid out in six rules, authored by her and agreed to, for the most part, by Norse’s minions. Chief among the rules are concessions on the part of Jack’s that allow all the youths that were previously banned from the restaurant to return, providing they refrain from defecating on the property, giving free drink refills to their friends or changing diapers on the tables (issues Hutchinson says she’s also had problems with). One rule Hutchinson refused to change despite Norse’s prodding, however, was one that says Jack’s employees will refuse to serve anyone with “strong odors.� “It’s really a health code issue,� Hutchinson says. “We serve food here and people without proper hygiene can spread E. coli and other bacteria.

After bucking county staff and supes, a rowdy appeals board gets the ax 0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

T

HE REMAINING three members of the Building, Accessibility and Fire Code Appeals Board really, really didn’t want to be fired. Even after the resignation of two of their members after only three meetings. Even after county Counsel Dana McRae wrote that her office “will not provide legal advice or representation to your board� and administrative officer Susan Mauriello penned a request to the Board of Supervisors that the members be removed. “Give BAFCAB time to work out our operational difficulties,� implored board member and civil engineer Richard Irish in a statement he read at the June 2 Board of Supervisors meeting. Nor was the audience, comprised mostly of the same people who crusaded for months to have the board formed, ready to see them go. “I applauded your intelligent actions

by instating that board and am very disappointed that any consideration would be made to disband it now,� said independent land-use consultant Claire Machado, who has spoken before the supervisors numerous times over the appeals process. Two other speakers called the supervisors “domestic terrorists� for attempting to eliminate the board. BAFCAB chairman and electrical contractor Dan Bronson spoke last. “County staff is out of control. If you, the Board of Supervisors, do not take action, you’ll find yourselves in court time after time,� he said. “I have to question who’s in charge of this county.� Despite all that, it became clear when Supervisor John Leopold began to speak that the board didn’t have a prayer. “I want to thank the members of BAFCAB for the work that they’ve done,� he said. “I’d like to make a motion to remove the existing members . . .�—the rest of his

sentence was drowned out in a chorus of booing and shouts of “This is tyranny!� and “Dictatorship!� Supervisor Ellen Pirie called the situation “severely dysfunctional.� In the end, the termination of the board received unanimous approval, and the room emptied into the hallway for a spirited bout of complaining and halfjoking about a recall on Leopold. “This was a show—they had decided that we had to go beforehand,� said Irish. “I’m concerned that the county is doing something illegal.� The few dozen members of the public that rallied around the board are extremely familiar faces around the county building—the group has been fighting for years over what it believes is an overly punitive Planning Department. “For quite a while, we’ve had a small but passionate group of people who feel very strongly that the Planning Department is too strict,� says Supervisor Neal Coonerty. “They saw this appeals board as a way to overrule the Planning Department, to sort of become a very independent authority. This was not ever contemplated to be the venue they hoped it would be.� Planning Director Tom Burns says that many in the group have had their property red-tagged by the county (a red tag is a stop-work order issued over unpermitted construction or remodeling) and feel they have no proper recourse. “People want to get into a philosophical conversation about whether our planning process is ethical,� he says. “[But we’re saying,] was it built without a permit, yes or no? What’s the big confusion?� BAFCAB was never meant to hear red tag appeals, but its members seemed to be pushing for a rewrite of county code that would eventually expand their jurisdiction to include red tags and other appeals, invoking State Building Code 108.8, which says building appeals should be heard by an independent body of experts not employed by the county. Tensions between the Planning Department staff and BAFCAB came to a head four weeks ago when Bronson called a meeting to hear an appeal that planning staff had already deemed outside of BAFCAB jurisdiction. Though the meeting was ultimately canceled, it was the first tangible result of the fact that BAFCAB board members Irish, Bronson, David Parks and architect Marty Fiorovich were convinced that state law gives them a bigger role than the one given them by the supervisors. BAFCAB was only allowed to hear appeals on technical issues like how wide a doorway or a road should be, and only after the Planning Department, acting as gatekeeper, had determined it should. Supervisor Coonerty agrees that the

board’s action—dismissing the remaining members and taking over the BAFCAB duties—was swift, but says it was done to protect the county from legal action. “They indicated they wanted to hear appeals they were not allowed to hear. If they would have heard those appeals and ruled on them, it would have bogged down into a complete legal farce,� he says. “We would have had to hire an outside attorney to defend them, with taxpayers’ money. It would have gone on endlessly.�

‘They saw this appeals board as a way to overrule the Planning Department, to sort of become a very independent authority. This was not ever contemplated to be the venue they hoped it would be.’ Coonerty says the supes will likely hear the first of two appeals that have been languishing in the controversy before the end of the month, and that any attempt to reform an independent BAFCAB is not likely until two years down the line. Leopold agrees that the situation was simply untenable. “It’s unprecedented to have county counsel say they can no longer represent a commission,â€? he says. “It became clear what the board should do.â€? Both Fiorovich and Irish have said they will file a complaint with the state of California Department of Housing and Community Development, and Bronson is building a website to help residents who’d like to file an appeal or lawsuit against the county. Leopold is well aware the controversy isn’t going anywhere. “This is the end of this chapter. I’ve lived in Santa Cruz County for 25 years. We’ll never hear the end of this,â€? he says. Ă

I think I’m lucky that way, because I go on these tours so often. The month of April I went to 30 cities—a city every day—no, 29; I was off on Easter. I could actually see my audience. I try to have it dark when I do the reading; I try to have it light for Q and A. When I sit down and write, I don’t know how to make those people happy. In one row, there’s a 70-year-old woman sitting next to a Chinese couple sitting next to a 14-year-old girl with her parents sitting next to a pair of lesbians. . . . ¨

1=D 3 @ j 2/D 7 2 A 3 2/ @ 7 A I tend to think more of myself when I’m writing. There was something that I wrote a couple months ago, and it made me laugh very hard. I don’t laugh at the typewriter or the computer now very often. I was laughing at a word choice. What I’d written was so completely ridiculous, but at the heart of it was losing weight. Again, probably everyone in that row had tried to lose weight. Once that was established, I could go anywhere, but it was ultimately about drinking your own breast milk. How many people in that row had done that? I look forward to reading things out loud, and I have new things that I’m going to be reading on this tour that I’ve never read before. I look forward to that and I’ll make notes about what works and what doesn’t work. EVOb Oa^SQba ]T g]c` ZWTS O`S ]TT ZW[Wba b] e`WbS OP]cbI don’t write about sex because it’s not really my subject. I love it when other people write about it, but it’s not my subject, and I don’t want anyone I’ve had sex with to write about it. Plus, you’re in front of an audience, and they picture wherever you’re writing about. I’m 52; no one in the audience wants to picture that. I didn’t write about political things. Not because I didn’t feel that way, but because it felt like pandering. Say you’ve got 3,000 people in the theater. Two thousand, nine hundred and eighty voted just like I did. It’s incredibly easy to get them to cheer, too easy. Often, they want to sit in a room and feel like they hate the same people their neighbor hates, and they want to hear John McCain being made fun of. I just got a letter (regarding a New Yorker essay on the 2008 presidential race) saying, “I was going to come see you in Zurich, and then I read that garbage in the New Yorker. To make fun of a patriot and a soldier who gave so much to this country. . . .â€? But that’s not the reason that I don’t write political things. I’m not an original thinker that way. I don’t reveal other people’s secrets. Everyone in my family has things they don’t want the world to know. I don’t write those things. I try not to write those things about everyone—things that would prevent them from getting a job. 7\ g]c` SaaOg ¡1VWQYS\ W\ bVS 6S\V]caS ¸ g]c SaaS\bWOZZg e`]bS OP]cb V][]^V]PWO P]bV W\ ZO`US` a]QWSbg O\R W\bS`\OZWhSR 1][^O`W\U g]c`aSZT b] O ab`OWUVb [OZS ab`O\US` eV] QOacOZZg a^]YS

This happens when pedophilia comes up. People tend to associate it with homosexuals. I was just watching Milk on the plane—in the 1970s they were trying to get gay teachers fired—that was just a particular period when you felt paranoid, just watched very closely. But that same group of people would say, “We need to protect our children,â€? and yeah, you do need to protect your children from pedophiles, but not from me. And the majority of pedophiles are heterosexual anyway.

When I was growing up, I don’t think I believed that anyone was homosexual, that anything that bad could have befallen anyone besides me That was a period when I think every gay man I know felt particularly like he was being watched, being judged more harshly than in years. It’s amazing to me—interesting watching that movie Milk as well—just how much things ¨

have changed in my life. When I was growing up, I don’t think I believed that anyone was homosexual, that anything that bad could have befallen anyone besides me. There wasn’t anyone gay on TV, you couldn’t go to the library in Raleigh, North Carolina, and read about homosexuals, except maybe in some book on deviant behavior. When I go on tour now, there are these college boys, and I say, “Where did you meet?� and they say, “We’re high school sweethearts.� [Growing up], the thought that you could be [samesex] high school sweethearts—you would have felt the need to turn that person in to the police. There’s no way you could have enjoyed yourself. You can have those 3,000 people in the theater, and 10 percent of my audience is gay. It’s interesting to me that those other people are relating to me as a human. When I write about [boyfriend] Hugh, they’re relating to it as a way to connect with another person. Perhaps it’s because of the way I write

about it—maybe if I did write about sex, people would think, “No, I can’t relate, you’ve lost me there.â€? But I don’t not write about sex because I’m afraid of losing them. =bVS` e`WbS`a eV] O`S UOg ZWYS /R`WS\\S @WQV AO`OV EObS`a O\R /`[WabSOR ;Oc^W\ O`S OZ[]ab OZeOga `STS``SR b] Oa ¡UOg OcbV]`a¸ W\abSOR ]T ¡OcbV]`a¸´bVOb Wa OZeOga eWbV bVS _cSS` []RWTWS` BV]cUV g]c ]TbS\ RWaQcaa g]c` `SZObW]\aVW^ eWbV 6cUV O\R e`WbS OP]cb Q][W\U ]cb W\ g]c` ZObSab P]]Y OZ[]ab OZZ O`bWQZSa e`WbbS\ OP]cb g]c `STS` b] g]c Oa aW[^Zg ¡OcbV]`¸ ]` ¡/[S`WQO\ Vc[]`Wab ¸ /a O e`WbS` eVOb Wa bVS W[^OQb ]T PSW\U ZOPSZSR ]` \]b PSW\U ZOPSZSR Oa O ¡UOg OcbV]`¸Twenty years ago, I would be in the gay section of the bookstore just because I used the word “boyfriend.â€? ¨

No offense, but that’s not where I wanted to be. I wanted to be with the other books: I didn’t want to be with that ghetto. It’s always interesting to see where people put my book. Sometimes somebody puts my books in the gay and lesbian section; that’s the decision of the bookstore. Again, it doesn’t bother me in any way to be called a gay writer. I mean, I’m gay and I write. I don’t know what the difference is between a gay person who writes and a gay writer—is it just that gay writers write about sex? I don’t know, really. ;O\g ]T g]c` SaaOga VO`YS\ POQY b] eVS\ g]c eS`S g]c\US` c\ ]` c\RS`S[^Z]gSR `S\bW\U `]][a VWbQVVWYW\U O\R ]bVS`eWaS TOW`Zg ^]]` /b bVS bW[S RWR g]c` ROga ]T PSW\U P`]YS TSSZ Oa O[caW\U Oa

Maybe you got the newspaper and maybe you looked through the want ads, and after you take this nap, you’re really going to call about that job, you really are. You really would have done it when you got up from the nap, but then somebody called and you rode your bike over and now it’s past 5 o’clock. There’s no depression like that, that unemployed depression on the couch, that imagining, “Even if I got the job today, I wouldn’t get a paycheck for two weeks.� When you get old you think, “I was young, you’re supposed to do that when you’re young.� It would be worse to be that way at 52. I can look back on it now and sort of make fun of myself for it. No one was worse at getting a job than me.

I’m lucky. One thing that hasn’t changed since I’ve been writing is that I haven’t tried any less. I haven’t gotten to the point when I think, “Yeah, that’s good enough.� I haven’t written anything for money. A French magazine asked me to write [what essentially added up to an advertisement]. It didn’t feel right to me. I’ve never written that way before, and I don’t really see the point, and I’m not in a position where I have to start. Often strangers will give me their writing. This guy in Manchester, England, he worked in a bookstore where I was giving a reading, and I talked to him off and on all night. It took him a long time to admit that he wrote, and then I pestered him some more and I finally got him to agree to send me something. It was fantastic; it was original and surprising, it was just as if he had reinvented language. I kind of knew it was going to be. Compared to people who come up and say, “‘Here’s this thing I wrote. I took a creative writing class; how do I get this published?� and I already know it’s going to be no good. It was shocking to me when I moved to New York, went to a play and half the audience had invitations for their own plays—you can see people just promoting themselves. I was just so appalled and sickened by that self-promoting behavior. You’re going to get a lot further when it’s someone else’s idea that you’re good. Let yourself be someone else’s discovery. 6OdS g]c caSR bVS 7\bS`\Sb gSb-

In the past week, say, a French newspaper asked me to write something, a French magazine asked me to write something, an American magazine asked me to write something, I’m closing my story with an editor at the New Yorker, I met today with an old editor at Esquire who now works at GQ. I never could have contacted those people and said, “Could I write something?� They contacted me. I tend to think of all the people who are much better writers than I am and don’t have those opportunities. It doesn’t make me think that I’m great or anything; it does make me think that

Yes. I got email last June because I was going on my book tour, and then at the same time I had to organize a trip to Brazil for a literary festival, and somewhere I was going after Brazil—it was going to be too complicated to do it over the phone, so Hugh set up an email account and showed me how use the Internet. I think that my world that way is pretty small compared to other people’s. I do sort of see what the fuss is about, in good ways and in bad ways. I’m glad that I didn’t have the Internet when I started writing. I started writing when I was 20 and didn’t show a word of it to anyone until I was 28. I had the sense to keep it to myself. Now the temptation with blogs and such, they’re just getting it out there; maybe it would have been best to keep it to themselves. I’ve never Googled myself, never read anything about myself or my sister Amy, but I know from looking on other things. . . . You can watch ¨

You can judge her?� And on these boards, it all degenerates to “You’re a faggot!� “No, you’re a fag, not me.� Sometimes I think, “Do you honestly have an opinion of this?� Sometimes I think it gives people a sense of power. People will comment on the veins of Madonna from their home, and I wonder, “Do you really care, or does it make you feel powerful to be at home and say crummy things about people?� I like the trail that the Internet created. For example, I was watching one of those Douglas Sirk movies, and I noticed that Rock Hudson towered over everyone, and I typed in “How tall was� and I saw “How tall was Jesus,� and I’m like, “Sure,� and half an hour later you’re somewhere you didn’t expect to be. It doesn’t work that same way in books, does it? Even if you have an encyclopedia, the trail isn’t that crazy. I like that aspect of it. But I’m not on the computer now. I don’t do that while on the phone. Generally, if I’m on the phone, I don’t mind doing something with my hands. Ironing is good, whittling would be fantastic (I need to pick that up again), but reading or the computer, no.

When they told me about the Kindle, I thought, “Yeah, right,� but I travel a lot, and now I see them on planes. Then my publisher just sent me a letter saying they’re aggressively going after these file-sharing sites. I don’t know how to get free stuff on the computer. I know how to download songs on iTunes, but I don’t know how to get them for free, and I don’t want to, because then I couldn’t feel so self-righteous about paying for them. Generally if I’m going to buy, say, a movie, I buy it new, because if it’s used the people involved don’t get any money, and I don’t see why they should do it for no money. When a book comes out, I buy it in the bookstore. I’m happy that people get stuff out of a library, but when people come up to me and say that they got [my work] on tape and made copies for everyone they know, I think, “Why would you say that?� Publishers are coming up with all sorts of things, coming up with these electronic book contracts they want you to sign. Somebody sat me down for a meeting about Google books, and five minutes in, I said, “Here’s what I hear from you: meow, meow, meow.�

It’s interesting to me now how you can be onstage and you can see people in the audience, you can see their lights come on and it’s their telephones, or maybe they’re tweeting or blogging. For me, especially when I’m on the lecture tour, I don’t really—I can’t control it and I can’t stop it, but I don’t want people in the next town to know what I’m going to do. I don’t want them to know what the next story is about. I used to write people letters and didn’t really think about what was in them until they started being sold on eBay. Now I don’t write anything too juicy. I would never get onstage and say anything bad about another writer, but sometimes in talking with an audience member in the book signing line, I would say, “Actually, I can’t stand suchand-such.� I don’t do that now, because I don’t know if they’ll blog about it.

There are things that Obama has done where I thought he could do better, like his appointment of [Chicago political fundraiser Louis Susman as] the ambassador to the United Kingdom. But how quickly he changed the perception of Americans abroad. How quickly he improved the life of every American living overseas. People hear your accent at a store, and they give you a thumbs up: “Obama!� It was instantaneous.

Travels With Muley One book leads to another when Mike Farrell hits the road to promote a memoir 0G /:3F A6753</5/

T TOOK Mike Farrell 31 days to drive himself from one side of this country to other and back. At least now he knows that it doesn’t have to take a lot of gas. To promote his acclaimed memoir, Just Call Me Mike: A Journey to Actor and Activist, Farrell embarked on a book tour with just a single companion, a rented Prius affectionately nicknamed Mule. Navigating the never-ending booksignings, radio interviews and perils of the road, Of Mule and Man (Akashic Books; 222 pages; $15.95 paperback) has Farrell passionately speaking on some of America’s thorniest issues. Interwoven with Farrell’s developing affection for his Prius is a running commentary on electoral politics, social activism and American life, all amidst the backdrop of the heated 2008 presidential race. While he may best be remembered as B.J. Hunnicut of M*A*S*H fame—precisely the kind of association that former actors often find irritating—Farrell’s activism is not dissimilar to the show to which he owes his celebrity. While comedic and entertaining, both have the guts to tackle real-world problems. Of Mule and Man lends page space to the organizations that co-sponsor his events. Among these organizations are Greenpeace, SEIU, chapters of the ACLU

and the Death Penalty Focus. Although it’s hard to ignore Farrell’s political slant, it is admirable that he doesn’t lose sight of what’s important in life: friends, family and community (and a Lakers win). What is most endearing about Farrell’s adventure, though, is his humility and gratitude. His celebrity is no doubt a means by which to gather support for the causes he stands behind himself, but at every stop in every city he is stunned by the kind and inquisitive crowds from which he fields questions. Through this, his respect for community leaders, fellow activists and fans shines through the pages. Thankfully, his conversational writing style isn’t weighed down by pessimistic rants. That isn’t to say he’s exempt from them, though. Cruising through Texas, Georgia and the Carolinas, he muses about the difficulty of hybrid technology and scoffs at the conservative-dominated airwaves of the Red States. “I don’t like this,� Mule grunts. Welcome to America.

MIKE FARRELL reads from ‘Of Mule and Man’ on Monday, June 15, at 7:30pm at Capitola Book CafĂŠ, 1475 41st Ave., Capitola. (831.462.4415)

@7D3@A =4 / :=AB 1=/AB Fly fishing enthusiasts and the people who love to dress like them, take note: there once was a little-known community of Northern California steelhead fly fishermen, a group of passionate anglers who would stop at nothing to get their fish, even going so far as to slice each other’s anchor ropes. Rivers of a Lost Coast, produced by two UCSC alumni, tells their story with plenty of archival footage of fishin’ holes, including those on the once-mighty San Lorenzo (pictured). Tom Skerritt (the father in A River Runs Through It) narrates. Friday, June 12, at 7:30pm at Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $10 at the door.

0367<2 B63 A13<3A E7B6 A6/93A>3/@3 A/<B/ 1@CH Last summer, intrepid director C.M. Griffiths documented the making of a Shakespeare Santa Cruz summer festival.

107 min.) I thought that perhaps some lazy but ingenious filmmakers had finally come up with the ultimate solution to financing problems by having the audience simply go in and imagine their own movie while they stare at a blank screen. But instead it’s the new Eddie Murphy film, in which a troubled businessman finds that the answers to all his problems lie in his daughter’s vivid imagination. Aw. By the

way, Eddie Murphy told me he’s also available to star in your blank-screen movie if you’d rather see that. (Opens Fri at Aptos, 41st Avenue, Riverfront, Scotts Valley and Green Valley.) (SP) 7<27/</ 8=<3A /<2 B63 :/AB 1@CA/23

Ivan Reitman’s next movie after his 1981 military spoof. But then it turns out that, no, Venkman was originally written for John Belushi, and the movie was originally built around him, Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. John Candy was supposed to be Tully, Gozer was written for Paul Reubens and Sandra Bernhard was going to be Dana. Wow! In some alternate universe somewhere, I bet that movie got made. It’d be a cool place to visit, but I don’t know if I’d want to live

min.) Rian Johnson’s follow-up to Brick has loads of charm and no plot. The postmod intentions are clear right off in naming this pair of grifting brothers Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) and Bloom (Adrien Brody) in a story that’s part screwball comedy, part 1960s Swinging London caper. Rachel Weisz has never been more endearing as the former New Jersey invalid heiress who wants to join the racket. Their regular partner is the chic Asian demolition expert Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi). Pursuing the brothers, probably, is an eye-patchwearing Maximilian Schell. (RvB) 2/<13 4:719 (PG-13;

83 min.) A comedy about an odd couple entering a dance competition. Stars Shoshana Bush and Damon Wayans Jr. 2@/5 ;3 B= 63::

(PG-13; 99 min.) Alison Lohman makes a spirited scream queen under Sam Raimi’s endlessly witty direction. Her Christine is a bank loan arranger who refuses a mortgage extension to a doddering Gypsy crone (Lorna Raver) only to find that her soul has been given 72 hours’ notice before repossession. Delightful, gross and full of mad, fresh touches by Lohman, this movie proves that droll horror can be as effective as the more deadly serious. Here are visual effects that haven’t changed since Murnau: the scuttling dead leaves that chase a fleeing figure; the clutching shadow hand that sneaks under a doorway and falls palm first on a female face. Dileep Rao is a standout

as the mystic who tries to diagnose Christine’s problem: “Did you blaspheme against the devil in a graveyard?� (RvB) 4/2=A (Unrated; 97 min.) The Portuguese have passed down the tradition of fado music for a century and a half. This film attempts to explain why by showcasing modern fado artists performing in video-style setups. On a related note, the Portuguese also drink grappa by the truckful. When is someone going to explain that? (SP) B63 57@:4@73<2 3F>3@73<13

(Unrated; 77 min.) Stephen Soderbergh’s well-researched film about sexwork concerns the blank courtesan “Chelsea� (porn star Sasha Grey). Having a chance to hire that most intimate of orifices—an ear—some New York tycoons spend their expensive sessions moaning about their soon to be lost jobs. It’s set in October 2008; everyone in this affluent world is surprised out of their consumerist torpor by the giant flushing sound of the Lehman Brothers collapse. Chelsea, too, has career worries—a younger escort seems to be scooping her regular clients. Later, the dutiful record of Chelsea’s clothes, tricking and shoe-shopping is typed into a computer, against a background of McCain talking as the election rolls around. (RvB) B63 6/<5=D3@ (R;

100 min.) A well-built, good-looking and satisfyingly low comedy with a sturdy silentmovie two-reeler plot and the wit to realize that the Three Stooges format is solid gold. A quartet of Southern California types heads to Vegas for a bachelor party. They’re given a backhanded approval from the father of the bride, Jeffrey Tambor: (“Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Except for herpes.�) Cut, eventually, to The Morning After: The Cramps’ version of “Fever� on the soundtrack as a live

chicken struts through the smoldering ruins of what once was a $4,200-a-night Caesar’s Palace suite. The groom has vanished, and the three chumps, rendered amnesiac by booze, must search for him. They are: kitty-whipped, Larry-like Stu (Ed Helms), confident but wrongheaded Moe-style leader (Bradley Cooper) and the “one-man wolf pack� Alan, played by the film’s standout, Zach Galifianakis, Curlying beautifully. (After one typical moment of idiocy, he’s introduced like so: “Don’t let the beard fool you. He’s a child.�) What gradually materializes is an evening that included a stolen cop car, inappropriate touching of Mike Tyson’s pet tiger and one member’s marriage to a very nice stripper (Heather Graham, once again not getting enough screen time). Stick with it, since the first third is hit and miss; later, director Todd Phillips solidly builds the situations, thinking up strategies to bolster the risky comedy. Example: since no one wants to see a tiger injured, Phillips finesses the tranquilizing of the cat to a sweet piano lullaby titled “What Do Tigers Dream Of ?� Sturdy support by Rob Riggle as furious policeman, Bryan Callen as an east-of-theUrals wedding chapel proprietor, Ken Jeong, delightful as a bizarre Chinese gangster, and Mike Tyson as a suckerpunching, ex-heavy weight champion named Mike Tyson, who has a soft spot for Phil Collins.

min.) Jim Jarmusch’s all-time most banal film ever is proof that some directors don’t become photographers when they die: they become cinÊastes instead. While dropping the names of directors who entertained, Jarmusch doesn’t mention Antonioni’s The Passenger or Melville’s Le Samourai, both of which might have been too close to home. The statuesque Isaach De BankolÊ plays a nameless Zen assassin traveling through

Spain on a mysterious series of quests. At cafe tables, he meets guest stars John Hurt, Gael García Bernal and Tilda Swinton, playing people in the same diamondsmuggling game as our Lone Man hero. I think Bill Murray—onscreen for five minutes—is supposed to be Dick Cheney. (RvB)

:7BB:3 /A63A (R; 112 min.) Stodgy, set-bound story of the forbidden love between poet Federico Garcia Lorca (Javier Beltran) and artist Salvador Dali (Robert Pattinson); either this movie was dead or my watch melted. The reallife Lorca is a martyr, and this movie has no room for those who aren’t; this is one of those livesof-the-saints texts that Buùuel and Dali set out to profane. (RvB) ;G :743 7< @C7<A

(PG-13; 98 min.) Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) plays Georgia, an Athens tour guide who has a degree in history and has to settle for hauling a group of passengers around the ancient ruins of Greece. Harland Williams and Rachel “Debbie Downer� Dratch play the ugly Americans who can’t figure out why the Venus de Milo doesn’t have any arms. Unofficial ring leader of the tour is salty alter kocker Richard Dreyfuss; his constant joshing hides a broken heart. (RvB) <3E1/AB:3 (Unrated;

UCSC grad Cary Fukunaga’s startling debut concerns the crossMexico run of a doomed gangbanger (Edgar Flores) and the girl who comes to love him, Sayra (Paulina Gaitan). For a young first-time feature filmmaker, Fukunaga has succeeded at reconciling the tragedy and beauty of this life on the run. The movie contains multitudes: pearlescent dawn shots of smoking volcanoes, barrios seen from the crowded top of a freight train. There are lyrical interludes of refuge at stops along the rail yards where the travelers bathe and are fed. Be warned that this passionately told, moody film includes the horrific side of urban Mexican life. Could Sin Nombre be the first post-hip-hop urban movie? (RvB) B63 A=:=7AB (PG-13; 117 min.) On again, off again true-life story of a deranged street musician (Jamie Foxx) who turns

out to have spent time at Juilliard; this and more is teased out during his troubled friendship with his Boswell (Robert Downey Jr., very good and very dry), an L.A. Times columnist named Steve Lopez. The highlight is the nighapocalyptic view of the city’s boiling homeless encampment, like something out of Bosch. The backstory of Lopez’s romantic troubles, a fictional subplot borrowed from His Girl Friday is by contrast about as believable as a bum’s tale about why he needs a dollar. Foxx does some artistically athletic turns—he switches gears fast—but his hammy, babbling rain-man gets on the nerves, and his acting in the flashback scenes is almost risible. The Soloist demonstrates one of the essential marks of simple-minded scriptwriting: the idea of that the disturbed have a special conduit to the divine. (RvB) AB/@ B@39 (PG-13; 136 min.) Happily, J.J. Abrams’ version of the 40-year-old story is a loving refurbishing of an old structure rather than a demolishing. Traditions honored include the green babe (Rachel Nichols) and the red-shirted ensign. As Kirk, Chris Pine himself

is the ham this sandwich needs. Zachary Quinto is very poised as Spock, the tragic mulatto of space. Abrams’ tendency to undervillain the picture is redeemed by his making the villain fast, raging and large. Eric Bana, made up so that his face looks like a spider’s abdomen, plays Nero, a Romulan renegade escaped from the future. The film’s only conventional love interest involves Zoe Saldana’s Uhuru, drawn to Spock, as who wouldn’t be. The film’s real tension arises in the partnership between Kirk and Spock—two halves of one great leader, calm calculation meeting insane daring. (RvB) AC<A67<3 1:3/<7<5

(R; 102 min.) In Albuquerque, two sisters get into the lucrative field of cleaning up after dead bodies. Christine Jeff ’s mostly pleasant comedy of death and bloodshed is lit up like a pink lamp shade by the ever-lovable Amy Adams and given some dark highlights by Emily Blunt as her grimier sibling. The film seems trampled over by a producer’s cold feet, but what’s left has charm and hard-nosed humor. With Alan Arkin as the feckless father of the sisters— looking fit as usual,

Arkin; he’ll probably get a shovel and bury us all some day. (RvB) C> (PG; 96 min.) During

the last Depression, a reject kid named Carl becomes fascinated with that darling of the newsreels, the intrepid dirigible pilot Charles Muntz, who discovered the bones of an immense bird in South America and was declared a fraud. Fast-forward and Carl (voiced by Ed Asner) is a square-headed, Spencer Tracy lookalike of 78. When trouble comes, he escapes in the only direction open to him—straight up, with his battered house as the gondola to thousands of balloons, Unfortunately, a pesky 7-year-old scout, Russell (Jordan Nagai), is clinging to the front porch. The pair land in South America, where they discover a 13-foot-tall iridescent goonie bird and eventually Muntz himself (Christopher Plummer). Pixar spoils us. The news that Up is one of the year’s best films isn’t really news; Pixar has faith in an audience’s ability to feel without being manipulated—that’s what makes them more than just a studio with an unusually dazzling command of the vocabulary of animation.

Japanese feature ‘Departures’ brilliantly hovers between comedy and tragedy 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

T

HE BEST comedies are always uncertain about what side of the line they fall on. Sometimes a tragedy seems about to break out at any minute. Departures, the surprise best foreign film winner at this year’s Oscars, proves that there’s just as much potential for humor in a death comedy as there is in a sex comedy. Departures begins with a kind of sketch: two men from the undertakers come to the “encoffiningâ€? of a beautiful girl. The ceremony is exquisitely solemn—corpsearranging is yet another fine Japanese art—including cloth folding, cleaning and anointing. While sponging the body, Daigo (Masahiro Motoki), the younger of the two encoffiners, finds out that the deceased had an embarrassing secret, a debacle that he handles quickly. He wasn’t always that cool. In flashback, we learn that Daigo played the cello in a Tokyo orchestra. We see its performance of Beethoven’s Ninth, performed for about a dozen grim-faced music fans. Laid off afterward, Daigo is in serious debt, since his expensive new cello set him back some $186,000. Without a better idea, Daigo decides to leave Tokyo to reclaim his family home in the country in Yamagata Prefecture. Daigo’s adoring wife, Mika (Ryoko Hirosue), agrees to the plan, seemingly without doubts. Looking for a job, Daigo finds a newspaper ad for work helping out “Departures.â€? Sasaki (Tsutomu Yamazaki), the boss, looks Daigo up and down. “You’re not depressing,â€? he judges and tosses Daigo’s rĂŠsumĂŠ on the floor without reading it. He hires Daigo right on the spot. It turns out that the ad was a misprint. Daigo will

be working not with departures but with the departed. This business sells and fills coffins. Though old Sasaki claims that fate sent the young man there, Daigo can’t accept it. He hides his new job from his wife; when Mika finds out, she regards her husband as an untouchable and leaves him. What follows are slices of life in the death trade. Daigo becomes aware that what had seemed like a job was actually a vocation. He’s very good at handling the formalities and the harsh situations: untimely deaths, suicides by charcoal inhalation or the aftermath of a motorcycle crash. The long winters in Yamagata set the mood of mourning. If Daigo doesn’t look depressing, he’s serious enough for the occasions, and he has his own dark issues: Daigo’s father left him and his mother when he was young. Certainly, his new boss is a fine replacement for any lost dad. Sasaki is a man among men. Yamazaki, never to be forgotten as the John Wayne–like trucker in 1985’s Tampopo, is an actor of absolute gravity and unreal smoothness, and he gives a top movie-star’s performance in

this role. Yamazaki’s suaveness just gets richer as the film goes along. To watch Sasaki at work is to sort of wish you were dead already. He has the aspect of a magician, explaining the steps to the mourners: “I will now affix the lid. . . . � Likewise, he comes across like an alchemist: transforming a distinctly green corpse into the likeness of a sleeping, peaceful wife. Yamagata Prefecture supposedly has a reputation as a region of bumpkins. It’s easy on the eyes; the snow-covered volcanic cones and the wetlands make you think of Washington State. Maybe the earthiness of the people is a regionalcomedy touch in all the characters, from the tranquil Sasaki to his salty, forward secretary (Kimiko Yo, a pleasure to watch). The laughter or family fights that break out at funerals might be part of this movie’s rural, working-class eye. Departures is backward looking; it favors farmland and old-fashioned wood-fired bathhouses over the Tokyo mania. It celebrates old-style, hands-on craft. Director Yojiro Takita expertly mixes what seems like unmixable material.

In one moment, clouds of swans fly as Daigo practices his cello in the countryside; in an earlier scene, Daigo emits a Jimmy Stewart–style gobble of panic after Sasaki casts him as a model corpse for a training film. (Daigo is sort of a fussbudget; caught by his wife after having hidden the purchase of the cello, he dithers his hands—the cartoon gesture of a husband found out in a lie.) Departures goes long. One perfect scene—a crematorium operator’s tale of a Christmas Eve he spent once—goes on to explain itself and spoils the mood. The reconciliation of Daigo to his father’s memory stalls, even after it’s clearly inevitable. Still, Departures is a movie about death that’s suffused with the joy of living.

DEPARTURES (PG-13; 130 min.), directed by Yojiro Takita, written by Kundo Koyama, photographed by Takeshi Hamada and starring Masahiro Motoki and Tsutomu Yamazaki, opens Friday at the Nickelodeon in Santa Cruz.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob

Brezsny

For the week of June 10 /@73A (March 21–April 19): So you’re trying to tell me that the way out is the way in. Is that right? And that the “wrong� answer just might be the right answer? And that success, if it makes an appearance, will most likely happen by accident? I don’t know, Aries. It’s tricky to get away with this upside-down approach to life unless you have a lot of discipline and yet also don’t take yourself too seriously. You’ve got to be both rigorous and f lexible—a stickler for detail and a master of improvisation. I do suspect you’re up for the challenge, but what do you think? B/C@CA (April 20–May 20): In an interview, musician Attiss Ngoval told the San Francisco Chronicle that he’d want the superpower of X-ray vision “IF and ONLY IF I could use it to see people naked under their clothes. I don’t want it if all I see is skeletons.� That’s a good standard for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, Taurus. I definitely think you’ll have an ability to see deeper into the multilayer levels of reality than you’ve had in quite some time. But your challenge will be to employ that gift to explore sights that are really interesting and useful to you, not just everything and anything that’s usually hidden. 53;7<7 (May 21–June 20): My astrological charts suggest that your immediate future is wide open—so much so that it’s difficult to predict which scenarios are more likely than all the others. This might mean that your free will is especially free right now. But in the interest of giving you something specific to grab on to, I’ll name a few of the myriad possible scenarios. (1) A self-styled anarchist scholar, heir to the fortune of a famed Japanese anime artist, will invite you to a sushi feast at a speakeasy club called “Planet Mars� to discuss the Theory of Everything. (2) A clownish saint with a tattoo of a cobra swallowing the Earth will get you high by sniffing the pimple medication Clearasil, and then tell you a secret about who you were in one of your past lives. (3) A familiar stranger will hand you a Cracker Jack toy and whisper, “Are we never going to see each other again? Or will we get married tomorrow?�

1/<13@ (June 21–July 22): In honor of the karmic clean-up phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to do the following exercise: Imagine a pit in the middle of a desert that holds everything you’ve ever used up, spoiled and outgrown. Your old furniture is here, along with stuff like once-favorite clothes, CDs and empty boxes of your favorite cereal. But this garbage dump also contains subtler trash, like photos that capture cherished dreams you gave up on, mementoes from failed relationships, and symbols of defunct beliefs and self-images you used to cling to. Everything that is dead to you is gathered here. Got that vision in your mind’s eye? Now picture yourself dousing the big heap of stuff with gasoline and setting it on fire. Watch it burn. :3= (July 23–Aug. 22): This would be a good time to activate your sleeping potentials by chanting positive declarations about your relationship to what you need. Instead of typical New Age affirmations, however, I think you’ll benefit from something edgier and more poetic. That’s why I’m offering you the statements below. They were originally written by Andrea Carlisle for use by spiders. Say the following several times a day: “I am now receiving many fine fat f lies in my web. My web is strong and masterful. My web is irresistible to all the attractive creatures I like to nibble on. I am amazingly clever and extremely popular. Even now, hundreds of juicy tidbits are headed towards my web.� D7@5= (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): A talent scout who has the power to change your course is drawing closer and closer. Find out why, and capitalize on it. Meanwhile, a chameleon who has always had your number just lost it. Find out the details, and take advantage. If that’s not enough to keep you busy, I’ll clue you in to the fact that a cool fool only recently realized you have something that he or she wants. Find out who and what, and exploit the possibilities. (P.S.: I should also mention that there’s a wild thing out there who would love to lick your hand. Find out why, etc.)

:70@/ (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): “The formula ‘two and two make five’ is not without its attractions,� said Dostoevsky. I believe you’ll benefit from embracing that perspective in the coming week, Libra. Transcending logic will be your specialty, especially

if you do so with a spiritual gleam in your eye. Being a little crooked could awaken sleeping wisdom within you, as well as boost your life force and enhance your physical attractiveness. So please follow any hunches you have that inspire you to stop making so much sense. Explore the pleasures of using imaginative f lair in your search for the truth.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): A lesbian reader who calls herself “Speedy Slow-Hand� wrote to me asking for advice. She explained that she keeps getting obsessed with the half-feral amazons whom her intense Scorpio self lusts after, and this causes her to miss making contact with the warm, nurturing women her softer side craves. Is it better to have someone to run the race with, she asked, or someone to massage her feet after the race? Whether or not you yourself are in the hunt for love, Scorpio, I think her testimony is an apt metaphor for your current dilemma. Should you go with the choice that makes your spirit burn with pungent excitement, or should you opt for what feeds your soul with rich relaxation? I would like to suggest that there’s at least a 30 percent possibility you could have both.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Of the 190 short films the Three Stooges made for Columbia Pictures, only five actually had pie fights. However, those classic scenes sum up all there is to know about the mythic meaning of pie fights, as well as the needs they address and the techniques involved. I urge you to study up on the Stooges’ teachings concerning these matters—and put them to immediate use. Nothing could be more effective in dealing with stalled negotiations, convoluted mind games, superficial exchanges, excessive gravity and bureaucratic slowdowns than a righteous pie fight. You can find a Youtube clip of a Three Stooges pie fight here: tinyurl.com/yvv8hm. 1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): Some people use sly intelligence rather than mindless rage to escape limitations that have outlived their usefulness. Do you know any? If so, soak up their inf luence. You could use some inspiration and counsel as you make your own break for freedom. The best way to ensure that your liberation will be permanent, not just a temporary reprieve, is to go about it with humor and subtlety and humility.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Writing in Earthwatch magazine, Anne Marcotty Morris rhapsodized about her trek into Brazil’s rain forest. The jungle is a fecund place, she said: “Several barbed seeds that had attached themselves to me on our walk into the forest had sprouted by the time we walked out.â€? These fast-growing seeds happen to be an apt metaphor for the state of your psyche, Aquarius. You’re a hotbed of lush fertility. Given that fact, I advise you to be very discriminating about which inf luences you give your attention to. Whether they’re good or bad, empowering or corrosive, they will grow fast. >7A13A (Feb. 19–March 20): There has rarely been a better time than now to blend your fresh sparkly innocence and your deep ancient wisdom. The childlike aspects of your intelligence are especially available, and so are the visionary elements. Furthermore, the two have a great potential to complement and enhance each other. You might be amazed at how dramatically you could transform long-standing problems by invoking this dynamic tandem of energies. 6][Se]`Y( 7b¸a OZ[]ab bW[S T]` O [WRgSO` `SdWSe EVOb VOdS g]c OQQ][^ZWaVSR a] TO` W\ '- EVOb U]OZa `S[OW\ c\TW\WaVSR- 4`SSEWZZ/ab`]Z]Ug Q][
