/A6 B63 E=@:2 BC@<A Some downtown clubs allow smoking; most require patrons to step outside.

which routinely pick up thousands of the slowly decomposing butts from the sands. Indeed, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the butts and not the smoke that seems to draw the most ire of downtown shop owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank God for the Hope Services folks that come around and sweep up the butts every day,â&#x20AC;? says Sonja Brunner, general manager at Old

School Shoes on Pacific Avenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say we only occasionally get smoke that wafts in, so for me the biggest issue is definitely the butts.â&#x20AC;?

Brunner, however, still says that an outright ban is a bit â&#x20AC;&#x153;extreme.â&#x20AC;? Her attitude proves in line with a majority of downtown shop owners, managers and clerks interviewed

including Linnaea Holgers of Artisans Gallery, Derek Olsen of Kiantis Pizza & Pasta Bar, John Blake of Palace Art & Office Supply, Jared Johnson of the Parlor Salon, Richard Dellis of Union Grove Music, Lisa Harris of La Playa Gift Shop, Linda Hutchison of the Asti Bar and Rebecca Moore of Eco Goods, all of whom contend that a ban on smoking is unnecessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the issue is really about people standing around outside the stores,â&#x20AC;? says Moore.

The smokers themselves, unsurprisingly, are mostly opposed to the ban. Between drags of a Camel cigarette outside Rosie McCannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish Pub, local resident Michael Lombardo says he has as much of a right to smoke as anyone else has to demand clean air. Yet one smoker seemed to toe the line between wanting the freedom to enjoy his American Spirit cigs and wanting downtown Santa Cruz to be cleaned up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a smoker, I actually think the ban is a great idea,â&#x20AC;? says Mike van Leynseele, popping an unlit cigarette back into his pack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think maybe it will help save me from myself.â&#x20AC;? 0

ERONICA ADAME, a harm reduction supervisor at the Santa Cruz AIDS Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drop-in Center, leads an impromptu tour around the small Front Street space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is kind of the little living room area,â&#x20AC;? she says, gesturing at some black couches and a television hooked up to an old VCR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all watch movies together and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty fantastic.â&#x20AC;? She stops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fantastic,â&#x20AC;? she corrects herself.

On Wednesday, Sept. 2, Adame and the rest of the Drop-in Center staff were informed they are losing their jobs and that, after 10 years, the center will be closing on Sept. 15 for good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a place like this that exists in Santa Cruz, a place you can go where you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be judged,â&#x20AC;? says Adame, tears forming in her eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a family.â&#x20AC;?

The center provides HIV testing and referrals to housing and health services, but it is also used as a meeting place for the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated 900 monthly clients.

Clients are permitted to pick up donated clothing, get a bite to eat and play gamesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, crucially, exchange dirty needles for clean ones. The centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location across the street from the bus station has made it especially convenient for young transients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We care about people. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here for everyone no matter what,â&#x20AC;? says harm prevention specialist Penelope Jernberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many people who come here who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anywhere else to go.â&#x20AC;?

Merle Smith, executive director at SCAP,

says the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final round of blue-line cuts eliminated about $300,000 worth of funding that covered staff and kept the doors open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The facility will no longer be there, but the programming will continue,â&#x20AC;? she says.

The centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidential needle exchange program will continue with staffing provided by volunteers, and most other services, such as youth and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hours, mental health referrals and HIV testing will be shifted to the main SCAP offices across the street. Smith says that SCAP is also working with the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Services Agency and the Board of Supervisors to devise a plan to provide the same level of services at different locations. She says she is hopeful that in three months, a number of grant applications will be approved, allowing the agency to rehire its staff. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that the drop-in location will reopen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not asking the landlord to hold it for us. There has been some discussion about moving the programming into the Beach Flats area and sharing space to save cost,â&#x20AC;? she says.

In the meantime, staffers like Adame and Jernberg are anxious about keeping their clients informed of the changes, though both plan to continue volunteering in order to provide some kind of continuity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two weeks to close down an establishment that for 10 years people have come to trust and rely on,â&#x20AC;? muses Jernberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who knows what impact this is going to have,â&#x20AC;? says Adame. 0

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the modern equivalent of the ancient city-states of Athens and Sparta. California has the ideas of Athens and the power of Sparta.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER â&#x20AC;&#x153;California is like an artificial limb the rest of the country doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really need. You can quote me on that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;SAUL BELLOW

P

ERHAPS Schwarzenegger and Bellow divined whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now painfully clear to everyone: Arnieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s California is HumptyDumpty, the Hindenburg and some kind of sociopolitical Holocaust all rolled up into one overstuffed exploding burrito. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ungovernable, near-criminally impotent and outdated mess. Remedying Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s woes requires draconian cutbacks to essential services and infrastructure. Anyway, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we are told, grand allusions to Athens and Sparta notwithstanding. Others insist the fix lies with the feds, that the U.S. Treasury needs to bail California out at the begrudging consent of Congress.

But another still largely muted scenario is slowly gaining traction. Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two megaregions, the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California, may fulfill the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s histrionic vision in an entirely unintended fashion. They well may reinvent themselves as the Athens and the Sparta of an emerging city-statedominated worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d leave California in order to do so. ¨

Little Big â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Un To be fair, California never was truly governable. Long before it housed one of every 200 souls alive on the planet today, California was a mulligan stew of incompatibly brutal self-interests. The discovery of gold instantly transformed California from a sleepy backwater frontier into a madcap magnet for the wildest, freest, most antisocial and avaricious individuals each corner of the world could ever want to say good riddance to. And so it remains today. Just as a powerful economic elite began to emerge, divergent regional and personal interests were already hip-deep in state secessionist conspiracies, duels to the death and all manner of off-color connivery. Things have always been bad here, but Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ungovernability has only plummeted from terrible then to untenable today.

California remains the most populous, least represented state in the union. Politically speaking, consider this: Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House congressional delegation outnumbers those of 21 states combined, yet California has but two senators representing it in the upper chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;exactly as many as Wyoming, a state with a quartermillion fewer people than reside in the 47 square miles of San Francisco. These 21 mostly red states send filibuster numbers to the U.S. Senate. A lot of the legislation they chloroform could benefit both California and the Bay Area.

Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the stream of federal tax revenues heading to D.C., dwarfing what California receives in return.

But no matter the unfair taxes and machinations of the upper house of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legislature, the bottom line is this: weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just too damn big to be a state. Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population equals Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with Ireland thrown in for good measure. Tally up the populations of 57 sovereign nations, and their combined sum total is less than that of our state. In fact, Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population exceeds that ofâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;count â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em!â&#x20AC;&#x201D;189 nations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often said that were it a sovereign country, Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy would rank it anywhere from the fifth to the eighth largest in the world, depending on where France is on any given day. Impressive as that is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a fraction of the story. In fact, were our Bay Area a nation, it would rank as number 18.

So, what if an inertia-bound California should break into pieces? In a 2007 international report titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rise of the Mega-Region,â&#x20AC;? researchers from the United States, Canada and Sweden

found that rampant globalization eliminates the traditional need to rely upon oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nation-state for economic markets, supports and protections, thereby making even dominant nations like the United States open to sovereign fragmentation. Subsequently, national borders, once jealously guarded, are likely to fade to dim recollections of pre-transcorporate yesteryears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Capital can now be allocated freely around the globe,â&#x20AC;? they write, â&#x20AC;&#x153;seeking maximum returns wherever they may be. Even labor, particularly highly creative and productive labor, can be reallocated globally in a way that would once have been impractical.â&#x20AC;?

New Bohemia doubles the U.S. average in economic productivity and boasts the highest per capita economy in the world. And it even has good wine.

The report ranks â&#x20AC;&#x153;NorCalâ&#x20AC;? 14th in worldwide economic muscle. Their NorCal includes the sweet center of the Central Valley, shotgun-wedded to the entire Bay Area. But NorCal sounds more like a diet beverage than a region, and the San Francisco Bay Area is as worn a label as California itself, so henceforth weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give our megaregion a spiffy new sobriquet. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call it New Bohemia.

Mistress of the Pacific Sean Randolph is the president of the Bay Area Council, a partnership of business, labor, government and higher education. Randolph points out that New Bohemiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enormous lead in worldwide venture capital is almost ¨ %

The Bay Area Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own nine-county version of New Bohemia contains the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest concentration of leading research universities, matched with an equally high concentration of top-flight national, corporate and independent laboratories. In addition to that, it leads the nation in Top 10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;ranked engineering, law, business and medicine graduate programs. New Bohemia doubles the U.S. average in economic productivity and boasts the highest per capita economy in the entire world. And it even has good wine.

There are 40 could-be sovereign megalopolises worldwide, the prerequisite being that each generate at least $100 billion in annual revenues.

These city-state-like units, which make up just 18 percent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population, produce fully two-thirds of its global economic activity and nearly 85 percent of its technological and scientific innovations.

The suggestion is, of course, that each of these 40 megaregions is poised to evolve into 21st-century city-states. The logic is that city-states, being far more economically focused, compact and efficient, will inevitably replace nationstates and empires, like the United States and the former Soviet Union. These megaregions are described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;integrated sets of cities and their surrounding suburban hinterlands across which labor and capital can be reallocated at very low cost.â&#x20AC;?

That sounds a lot like what one Bay Area scholar calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;contado.â&#x20AC;? In his now

classic polemic, Imperial San Francisco, author and UC historical geographer Gray Brechin depicts how 19th-century would-be imperial families envisioned their San Francisco as extending east through the fertile Central Valley and deep into the enormously profitable mines and mountain waters of the Sierras. It would stretch from the city of San Francisco across the Pacific Ocean. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mistress of the Pacific,â&#x20AC;? was, according to its designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans, destined to eclipse New York as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center of finance and shift much of Washington, D.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political capital here. It would conquer and dominate realms west, penetrating its power and influence deep into Asia. For that they needed every resource their outlying regions could provide them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like the Roman concept of the contado,â&#x20AC;? Brechin writes, these lands would provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;the city with its food, resources, labor, conscripts and much of its taxes, while its people (the contadini) received a marketplace.â&#x20AC;?

San Francisco never realized its seat of empire. But now, more than a century later, a newly configured New Bohemia independent of both Sacramento and D.C., and competing on an infinitely enhanced global marketplace, may accomplish far more than its 19thcentury forebears could have possibly imagined.

1=D3@ j < 3 E 0 = 63 ; 7 / east to the Altamont pass and west to the Pacific. This New Bohemia is an 8-million-person-, 11-county Bay Area contado formed from the outlying suburbs, exurbs and rural hinterlands which supply the urban Bay Area core with talent, resources and materiel.

This New Bohemia still has a population larger than nine states and the District of Columbia combined.

While these nine states make up well over one quarter of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landmass, this New Bohemia is a megaregion and a sovereign city-state. Its fortunes have increasingly little to do with whatever remains of California, and even less to do with the former United States of America.

Lest we paint an inordinately appealing picture, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consider downsides to city-statedom. First, megaregion city-states risk transforming into medieval-like fiefdoms dominated by economic elites. As the Medicis controlled the Republic of Florence and Venice, New Bohemian billionaires would concentrate and consolidate power within a much smaller, far more malleable geographic and governmental unit than ever before. Their power base would no longer be diluted by the demands of an American imperium.

Freed of empire, their enhanced powers could be severely leveraged, advantaging the interests of the transcontinental corporations these elites control. In other words, emerging city-states, brilliantly promising as hightech incubators, innovators and crossdiscipline dynamos, may serve primarily to enhance the powers and fortunes of the already too rich and too mighty.

The March 2008 issue of Forbes magazine listed 47 billionaires who call the Bay Area home. A Forbes article titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greediest Citiesâ&#x20AC;? places the real estate that would become New Bohemia at the very pinnacle of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greed heap. According to Forbes, the San Francisco Bay Area has the â&#x20AC;&#x153;highest concentration of the superwealthy relative to other locationsâ&#x20AC;? in the entire nation.

This wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so bad were it not for an ever-growing disparity in wealth and incomes. A report published this past June by the California Budget Project details just how severe the inequities have become. The report recounts state figures placing Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal income at close to $65 billion between the years 2006 and 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A full 30 percent of AGI (adjusted gross income) gains went to the top 1 percent of taxpayers,â&#x20AC;? according to the report.

Crunching numbers even more finely,

it concludes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means that the top 1 percent of taxpayers received 25 times their proportionate share of AGI in 2007, while middle-income taxpayers received half of their proportionate share of income.â&#x20AC;?

Author Paul Starobin confirms suspicions of enhanced class warfare should city-states ascend. In his new book After America: Narratives for the Next Global Age, Starobin seems to view these matters through a social Darwinian lense when he writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There would be tremendous opportunities for global elitesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for architects, artists, business executives, university presidents, political leaders, global-health specialists and others who tend to live in big cities and who already are starting to think of themselves as a superclass.â&#x20AC;?

New Bohemian billionaires would consolidate power within a much smaller, far more malleable geographic and governmental unit than ever before And for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend to the superclass? One frightening prospect is that an updated medievalism would advance itself, with accelerating wealth and opportunities proffered to the elite superclass, and neoserfdom pressed upon the masses.

noblesse oblige, plebes would feast on generous crumbs swept from their lordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tables. These might come in the form of universal single-payer health care, free higher education, the right to marry whomsoever one chooses, repealing drug prohibitionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;hell, they might go so far as to guarantee food on every table and a roof over every head.

Such gifts do, of course, come with price tags, though they be shilled as free of charge. Underlying such programs would be a pragmatic rationale having little to do with munificence. These programs would, in fact, be designed with a demand for higher purpose.

In order that it may flourish, New Bohemia will require at the very least a steady trickle of educated immigrant minds and fit, disciplined bodies. New Bohemia will, after all, be competing with scores of worldwide city-states in the global marketplace.

The more generous and enlightened the ruling class portrays itself, the better it is for business. What better way to attract talent than to guarantee unlimited educational opportunities and a comfortable domestic existence?

As any mafia don would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it personally. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just good business.â&#x20AC;?

As long as the plebes stay out of meaningful political discourse, the facade of prosperity will obscure the underlying reality: that denizens of such a construct remain happy serfs, entirely at the mercy of their corporate masters.

Secede!

This nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history is rife with secessionist movements, the most notorious being the Civil War. Political economist Gar Alperovitz, writing in a New York Times op-ed in 2007, asserts that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the United States is almost certainly too big to be a meaningful democracy.â&#x20AC;? Moreover, Alperovitz writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sooner or later, a profound, probably regional, decentralization of the federal system may be all but inevitable.â&#x20AC;? A Zogby poll taken last year showed more than one in five Americans believe that â&#x20AC;&#x153;any state or region has the right to peaceably secede and become an independent republic.â&#x20AC;?

Even New Bohemia has its antecedent.

Evidence the 1846 Bear Flag Republic.

William B. Ide, the singularly sober and duly elected president of the soon-to-be-aborted republic, did nonetheless manage to put pen to paper before U.S. forces marched into the town of Sonoma. Ide proclaimed â&#x20AC;&#x153;that a government to be prosperous and happifying in its tendency must

originate with its people who are friendly to its existence.â&#x20AC;? Hardly Shakespeare, but Ideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentiment makes perfect sense. While we Americans tend to believe our nation is imperishable, more than half the 200-plus nations in existence today formed as breakaways following World War II. Perhaps we are unique, but in those many cases governments indisputably failed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;happifyâ&#x20AC;? their people. Some claim the same is already happening here.

While ideas lead to struggles, and struggles to new nations, many more do not. Ecotopia, a country comprising Northern California, Oregon and Washington, was a lucid and wonderfilled 1970s countercultural pipe dream drawn from an Ernest Callenbach novel of the same name. Another, the declared state of Jefferson, straddles Northern California and southern Oregon.

In contrast to Ecotopiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultragreen philosophy, Jefferson would secede largely because the two states refuse to mine local copper deposits. Jeffersonians claim this â&#x20AC;&#x153;gross neglect by California and Oregon deprives us of necessary roads to bring out the copper ore.â&#x20AC;?

In an article published in the San Francisco Chronicle back in 2003, former Wall Street Journal writer and New York Times columnist G. Pascal Zachary addressed the issue of a New Bohemia forthrightly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We, the people of the Bay Area,â&#x20AC;? he writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;need to leave the United States.â&#x20AC;? It is Zacharyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fanciful belief that New Bohemians are being held back against our will by an alien civilization. His remedy is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;require cultural and social self-determination.

Zachary concludes his piece with hopefilled insight regarding national defense and security. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The United States would surely insist on a demilitarized Bay Nation, but such a condition would gladly be accepted by our people.â&#x20AC;?

A

s for now, many questions need to be answered. How long can we afford to keep California on its fiscal respirator? Do we just let the burrito explode and see how many counties stick to the wall? Does California devolve into a cluster of autonomous regions, or does it instead seek its sovereign independence? Or is the last best solution to consolidate Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerhouse megaregions and break off our own New Bohemia from both state and union, turning our gaze westward, reassuming our birthright as Mistress of the Pacific, our backs against an old dream that became a noble experiment once called America? 0

A/<B/ 1@CH 23@0G 57@:A The Santa Cruz Derby Girls are letting the good times roll as they skate their way into their second season. On Saturday, Sept. 12, the team will face off against the Tucson Roller Derby at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, with rah-rah nonprofit Cheer SF as both the featured charity and half-time entertainment. All these derby girls ask of their fans is to dress for the occasion, and this bout is superhero-themed. Only in Santa Cruz would it be appropriate to attend the ultimate catfight in spandex and a cape. Saturday, Sept. 12, at 6:30pm. Tickets are $17 advance/$20 door/ $10 student/$5 per child under 13. Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St., Santa Cruz. 831.420.5260.

In his featured exhibit â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Art of Richard Mayhew: After the Rain,â&#x20AC;? Mayhew combines his love of nature and his innovational color use to provide viewers with dreamlike expressionistic landscapes, like something out of a fairy tale. New Yorker Mayhew aims to evoke the spirit of nature through all of his pieces instead of simply portraying its physical aspects. The exhibit will showcase works completed since his relocation to Santa Cruz County. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sunday 11amâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5pm, Sept. 12â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 22.

No one is doing what Sandra Bullock does, walking the line between glamour and girl-nextdoor, producing her own comedies and getting mileage out of being a New Jersey girl in a Fifth Avenue body, a quick fast lady in world too slow for her. But All About Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;despite a sturdy screwball comedy scriptâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;shows that Bullock may have to move on to a new stage. Bullock plays Mary

13; 108 min.) Surreal, Charlie-Kaufman-esque comedy features Paul Giamatti playing himself, in a world where souls can be removed and traded. Thus is Paris Hilton finally explained.

(SP) 27AB@71B ' (R; 113

min.) Humans and alien refugees live in close and uncomfortable proximity in Johannesburg in dystopian sci-fi thriller

by Neill Blomkamp.

The story is told documentary style, as we follow the mysterious disappearance of Wikus (Sharito Copley), a human employee of Multi-National United.

Included in this mix of images is also some kind of private footage, heavily digitally watermarked, that a secretive company like MNU wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want aired. During a raid on the alien camp, Wikus is sprayed with some alien fluid. After this incident, we can cut and paste in much of David Cronenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of The Fly, as the smarmy Wikus begins to mutate, losing his fingernails and teeth. The massive corporation he works for makes him a wanted man, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forced to get the help of one of the prawns. Producer Peter Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand is visible in the flawless animation of the bug creatures. All of the most interesting parts of this storyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; about the otherness of the aliensâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are kept offcamera. (RvB) 3FB@/1B (R; 98 min.)

Mike Judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new film is a comedy of cuckoldry and castration. Joel (Jason Bateman) runs a small company. His wife, Suzie (Kristen Wiig), is on a sex strike. At Joelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workplace, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing but chaos; the employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prejudices make for squabbles.

Enter a hot little grifter named Cindy (Mila Kunis). Hoping for a fair shot at her, Joel takes the worthless advice of his old pal Dean (Ben Affleck). Some good laughs and quotable bits here, particularly a running joke about Suzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweatpants, fastened with the security of a chastity belt. But just as Judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

last two comedies, Office Space and Idiocracy, made it as cult items, it seems Extract will have its best days on home screens. The visuals arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought out much.

Another matter is the relentless centrism of Judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and thus Extract, with its shirking assembly lines with workers too smallminded and addled to agitate for their rights.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Capra view of a mob of workers needing a wiser boss. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a patronizing streak in this film thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be left as an aftertaste after the froth of it dissolves.

Minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style exposĂŠ on Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crumbling infrastructure, cast with characters for whom one feels about as much empathy as one would if they were crash-test dummies. When the premonition-wracked Nick (Bobby Campo) saves his friends from flying engine blocks and race car wheels, a frustrated Death goes after them all in more baroque ways. I admired the scene of a mother at a beauty parlor being tended by a pair of beauticians acting like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in Sartreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Maids, among a riot of malfunctioning machinery. Then, also, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a swastikatattooed tow-truck driver immolated in the middle of trying to organize a cross-burning.

The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one character worth sparing is George (Mykelti Williams), a security guard who tries to kill himself: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to give God what I think he wants.â&#x20AC;? That God hates us and wants us all dead is the underscored message of this unusually unpretentious and honestly misanthropic snuff film; the elationproducing death mechanisms in 3-D are worthy of the Coyote and the Roadrunner.

The demise of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total macho butthole Hunt (Nick Zano), staged at the swimming pool of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forest Lawn Country Club,â&#x20AC;? is pretty ingenious even by the standards of the franchise. (RvB)

min.) Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a greeting-card writer, has his heart broken by a girl he knew for about two years. She was called Summer (Zooey Deschanel). As Tom recalls this tale in random-accessed moments, we begin to see the bigger picture.

(500) Days of Summer is allegedly an antiromantic film, but the result is yet another alterna-date movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a little brighter, a little more referential, than usual. The scenes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on so long that they wear out their welcome. And yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so full of negative spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;places where jokes could have been planted, places where the characters could have been deepened. If only director Marc Webb had spent as much time thinking how to fill in the blanks as he spent murmuring, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be Annie Hall for our generation.â&#x20AC;? (RvB) 5/;3@ (R; 95 min.)

Gerard Butler and Dexterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michael C. Hall star in this sci-fi actioner, in which videogame junkies control the actions of enslaved convicts, who are forced to fight to the death. The producers either stole their ideas from James Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming Avatar, or an actual plan drawn up by the former Bush administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite sure which. (SP) 6/::=E33< (R; 103 min.) Writer-director Rob Zombie returns with a sequel to his ponderous, grim remake of John Carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic, Halloween. The funny thing is that the original Michael Myers sequel, 1981â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halloween 2, was pretty hilariously bad, so at least he has a lot less to live up to. Remember how Jamie Lee Curtis got taken to the hospital where apparently no one worked? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if leaving nearvictims of serial killers at unsecured, practically empty hospitals is still standard procedure, but Zombieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sequel does follow the same storyline

A quartet of Southern California types heads to Vegas for a bachelor party. They are: kittywhipped, Larry-like Stu (Ed Helms), confident but wrongheaded Moe-style leader Phil (Bradley Cooper) and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-man wolf packâ&#x20AC;?

Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), the magicworldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Churchill, needs to know what Slughorn knows, but the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest wizard is starting to decay. Young Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is now comfy enough with being called the Chosen One that he can joke about it (even if Emma Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hermione gives him an whack on the head when he does).

Rupert Grint is showstealing in his perennial role as ginger-nut comedy relief. (RvB) 7<5:=C@7=CA 0/AB3@2A (R;

Opposing these flawed heroes is the smilingserpent Christoph Waltz as Hans â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jew Hunterâ&#x20AC;? Walda. The loose cannons running around are the Basterds themselves, a band of homicidal Jewish guerrillas indebted to their leader, Brad Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aldo Raine, for 100 Nazi scalps. Yet this is a genuine art movie; nothing is as rapt here as Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swoon over a beautiful girl on a ladder. Here in cinema form is an essay about Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with and distate for the war film. (RvB) 8C:73 8C:7/ (PG13; 123 min.) Meryl Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatnessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;her facility with accents, her plasticity and that uncompromising quality every really lasting actress has to haveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has been used to portray the limits of human suffering. In Julie & Julia, Streep gets to kick up her heels. She has such fun with the part of the cookbook writer Julia Child that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistently intoxicating to watch.

Streep continues at full sail through the film,

elevated a bit on a high heels and trotting with the happy clunkiness of a Clydesdale. Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distinctive voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the whoop of surprise, the trill and warble when she talkedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;makes Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the film enthralling. But there had to be some way to hold the film together, and sure enough disaster befalls. Half of this film is based on the hustled-into-print book version of a blog by Julie Powell about replicating all of Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recipes.

Amy Adams, the most charming young actress alive, plays Julie, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a horror. Director Nora Ephron tries for frankness in her script by having Julie Powell call herself a bitch. That isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to rehab her.

The wizardly Hiyao Miyazakiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful, gentle animated entertainment for children. On a Japanese beach of today, 5-yearold Sosuke (voiced by Frankie Jonas) finds a magic talking goldfish with a human head.

Ponyo (Noah Lindsey Cyrus) is happy to live in a bucket, but she sickens in captivity. A mystical rogue wave takes her back home. We learn

that Ponyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father is a weary undersea wizard, Fujimoto (Liam Neeson). This former human seeks to heal the oceans with magic.

Fujimoto was once the lover (or husband) of the colossal sea goddess Gran Mamare (Cate Blanchett). Ozuworthy moments of enchantment appear throughout. Avoiding clear stories of good and evil, Miyazaki is both Buddhist and animist, telling of the opposition of creative and destructive forces.

After hearing that a nearby community is going to cancel a huge rock concert because of fear of rampaging hippies, Elliot has the inspiration to contact the local dairy farmer Max Yasgur (Eugene Levy) to see about renting his pastures for a concert. Lee keeps the big event mostly offscreen. The festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chaos helps Elliot take the cork out of his bottled-up sexuality.

being unduly optimistic when I speculate that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the verge of achieving a ringing victory over your bad self. What makes me so confident that this development is in the works? Well, in recent weeks you have been dealing more forthrightly and intelligently with the lowest aspects of your character. You have also become more fully aware of the difference between your out-and-out unregenerate qualities and the unripe aspects of your character that may someday become very beautiful. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a second sign that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close to transforming one of the most negative things about you: You have almost figured out the truth about a murky curse that you internalized some time ago. When you finally identify it, you will know intuitively how to banish it forever.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): I expect that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a force of nature in the coming days, the human equivalent of a divine intervention. In fact, you might want to give fair warning to friends and loved ones who assume that you have always been and will always be steady, placid and mild. Otherwise they may be unduly freaked out when your intelligence explodes like a double rainbow or when you start emoting like a waterfall. They might accuse you of â&#x20AC;&#x153;not being yourself â&#x20AC;? when your laughter turns volcanic or your decisions hit with the force of the aurora borealis. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be interesting for you to notice which of your close cohorts responds most favorably to this outbreak of your elemental gifts.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I did not do this summer,â&#x20AC;? begins the testimony of one of my Gemini readers, Beth Hylton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not once did I swing on a tire swing over the river, watching the pink shimmery ref lection of myself in a wet suit on a tire swing. I did not take a day off work to sneak out alone to Jones Beach with a book and a beer in a ginger ale bottle. I did not eat outside at a red-checkered-tablecloth-and-too-much-cheese-onthe-pasta Italian restaurant, sucking back carafes of Gallo like Kool-Aid. I did not catch firef lies for the satisfaction of setting them free, and I did not nap in the noontime sun. Where are all the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I didsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to inform Beth, as well as any of her fellow Geminis who might have been remiss in doing the kinds of activities she named, that the next three weeks will be a very favorable period to make up for lost time.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Murmurs and whispers will have more clout than clamors and shouts. A candle in the dark will provide more illumination than a bonfire at high noon. Short jaunts could transform everything permanently; long trips might only shift things slightly and temporarily.

Forceful confrontations may lead to a muddle; feints and tricks and bluffs could spark crafty solutions.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;simple factsâ&#x20AC;? will probably be tainted by lies of omission; the messy contradictions are likely to be eminently trustworthy. :3= ( July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): KFC is test-marketing a f lamboyant new menu item at selected restaurants in the United States. This remarkable delicacy is an exotic sandwich that consists of bacon, two servings of cheese and special sauce, all held together not by bread but by two slabs of fried chicken. I nominate this spectacular creation to be your earthy metaphor of the week. In accordance with the astrological omens, I hope it inspires you to head out to the frontiers of extravagance in both your spiritual affairs and your romantic life. The coming days will be an ideal time to pray to both Christ and the Goddess while making love, for example, or to get sandwiched between two delicious devotees while meditating naked, or to perform a boisterous ritual to invoke emotional riches with the help of a genius of love.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Build Up Your Confidence by Any Means Possible Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for Virgos only. During this holiday, you have an astrological mandate as well as a poetic license to pluck the easy victories. So go ahead and solve the kinds of riddles that are your specialty. Arrange to be in situations where your perspective is desperately needed. Put yourself in the presence of people who think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a gift to the human race, and subtly encourage your secret admirers to be less secretive. If you have any trophies or awards, make them more visible. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

By Rob Brezsny

no shame in bragging this week, Virgo, but for best results do it with your best understated elegance.

:70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): My first demand is that you weed out the wishy-washy wishes and lukewarm longings that keep you distracted from your burning desires. My second demand is that you refuse to think that anyone else knows better than you what dreams will keep your life energy humming with maximum efficiency and beauty. Now please repeat the following assertions about 20 times: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know exactly what I want. I know exactly what I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want. I know exactly what I kind of want but I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste my time on it any more because it sidetracks me from working on what I really really want.â&#x20AC;?

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): Ants may literally be crawling in your pants as you pull off a savvy coup or a brilliant stroke. An annoying pest may try to distract you at about the same time that movers and shakers are tuning in to your magnificence.

But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to imply that minor irritants will undermine your victories. I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too unbeatable for that to happen. At worst, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a mild headache as you receive your reward or stumble slightly as you stride into the spotlight.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;That which can be destroyed by the truth should be,â&#x20AC;? wrote author P. C. Hodgell. I wish there were a gentler way to articulate that wisdom, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of one.

Instead Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll suggest a way to apply it so as to make the end result more graceful than shocking: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pour out the whole truth all at once in one big dramatic gesture. Do it gradually and tenderly. As you do, keep in mind that when the truth has finally dismantled the thing that could not endure the truth, you may be able to use the debris as raw material to build something new that the truth will feel right at home in.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): What if a billion Chinese people jumped up into the air at the same exact moment? Would they create, at the moment they landed, a shockwave that would cause an earthquake on the opposite side of the world, in Chile and Argentina? No one knows. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to propose a not unsimilar but more interesting experiment. What if every Capricorn who reads this horoscope reserves one minute at exactly 1pm EDT on Sept. 12, and during that time you all meditate intently on a single glowing thought, which is this: All of you Capricorns deserve an act of uncanny grace that will help free you from one of your most oppressive beliefs.

/?C/@7CA ( Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Some rare people, through heroic acts of will and the help of a really good imagination, manage to free themselves pretty thoroughly from the inertia of their past. This accomplishment is more possible for you right now than it has been in a long time. In fact, you could even overcome a negative legacy that made some of your ancestors crazy and sick. For maybe just the third time ever, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a position to escape the sins of the fathers and the f laws of the mothers! >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): If you build it, they will probably come. If you just pretend to build it, they may come anyway, and end up sticking around because of your charming attunement to lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deeper rhythms. If, as you build it or pretend to build it, you act manic or send out mixed messages, they may be intrigued and attracted, but they definitely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come. So my advice, Pisces, is to suppress your mood swings as you at least start pretending to build the thing in earnest.
