THE BULLHORN

Not Enough Latex Gloves?

0G 5EG<<3 2G3@

I

T IS the duty of all public officials to â&#x20AC;&#x153;do somethingâ&#x20AC;? whenever a new threat appears, even if there is nothing sensible to be done. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a show of solving the problem, the media will punish them severely.

So we have had a vigorous U.S. government response to the recent apprehension of the Underpants Bomber.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was from Nigeria, and he was Muslim.

Therefore, Washington has announced that all travelers to the United States from Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Yemen and seven other Muslim or partly Muslim countries will face extra checks at airport security. They will be patted down by hand, and their carry-on bags will also be searched by hand. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all fixed, then. No more exploding underpants.

Except that Abdulmutallabâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underpants were on his body, so hand searches of cabin baggage arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to help much. Moreover, it is far from certain that a physical pat-down of Abdulmutallab would have detected the guilty underpants.

Then there are the curious additions and omissions in the list of countries affected. Cuba is included, but Britain, France and the Netherlands are not, although Britain was the home of Richard Reid, the unsuccessful Shoe Bomber, and Abdulmutallab passed through Dutch airport security on his way to Detroit. Why are these countries exempt?

This is starting to sound like a rant, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not actually demanding more stringent security measures. I am arguing in favor of less â&#x20AC;&#x153;securityâ&#x20AC;? at the airport, and a lot more emphasis on real security work before the would-be bombers check in.

With the sole exceptions of Richard Reid and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, all the plots to blow up airliners bound for the United States since 9/11 have been thwarted by the intelligence services, not by the hundreds of thousands of poorly paid â&#x20AC;&#x153;securityâ&#x20AC;? personnel who staff the gates at the airports. And they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch either Reid or Abdulmutallab. What conclusions should we draw from that?

We should conclude that further â&#x20AC;&#x153;enhancementsâ&#x20AC;? to airport security are a total waste of time and money, although basic security that stops people from smuggling guns and knives aboard aircraft should be maintained. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reward the politicians for submitting to the idiotic measures that the media demand of them. Accept that nothing is perfect, and remember that you are still 50 times more likely to die in a car crash than in an aircraft crash. The alternative is to try to close every loopholeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the obvious hole in airport security today is the fact that they do not check for anal bombs.

The first suicide bomber with an explosive device in his rectum has already struck, although not on an aircraft. Four months ago, an al-Qaeda-linked militant passed through all the security checks and blew himself up during an audience with Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, Saudi Arabiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy interior minister.

If Abdulmutallab had boarded the Detroit-bound aircraft with the explosive device inside his body rather than sewn into his underpants, how were the security staff going to find it? Only by the time-tested method that prison guards regularly use: the â&#x20AC;&#x153;body cavity search.â&#x20AC;?

This could obviously be done at airports too. Just bend over, please, sir or madam. Yet nobody has proposed putting this policy into effect, and that is not because they are worried about a shortage of latex gloves. The whole airport security mania is largely symbolic, and body cavity searches would upset far more people than they would reassureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so in this case, common sense trumps â&#x20AC;&#x153;security.â&#x20AC;? It should do so in many other cases too.

One Hate, One Fear With the rise of homophobic dancehall and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;murder music,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; reggae has gone from Jamaicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possibility to its brutal reality 0G 2/D72 A/A=<

A

NDY SAMBERGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S brilliant Saturday Night Live character â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ras Trentâ&#x20AC;? navigates a day in the life of a reggae-loving college student, from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;shanty dormâ&#x20AC;? to his part-time job at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jah Cold Stone Creameryâ&#x20AC;? and, of course, his DVD of Cool Runnings. The skit is hilarious because everyone knows a suburban â&#x20AC;&#x153;rude boy,â&#x20AC;? complete with the blond dreadlocks and Bob Marley silkscreen, who smokes way too much weed. Reggae music is pervading our culture like never before, from annual festivals to skanking reggae remakes of Sgt. Pepperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Dark Side of the Moon.

But even the clownish Ras Trent canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape the ugly side of modern reggae. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, fire pon Babylon,â&#x20AC;? he croons in an exaggeratedly American accent, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and fire pon a batty boy.â&#x20AC;?

The satire gains surprising accuracy with the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;batty boy,â&#x20AC;? a Jamaican slur for a gay man thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeared in many incendiary songs over the past 20 years, each shifting further the genreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image of love and harmony toward a reality of violence and bigotry.

At the center of recent controversy is dancehall superstar Buju Banton, whose fall tour was beleaguered by a wellorganized boycott campaign that led to 23 cancellations, including shows in Berkeley and San Jose. In 1992, Banton broke Bob Marleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record for most No. 1 singles in a year, but he also released a song called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boom Bye Byeâ&#x20AC;? whose catchy melody belied its lyrics: Boom bye bye, inna batty bwoy head [mimicking a gunshot sound â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a batty boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headâ&#x20AC;?]

Rude bwoy no promote no nasty man, dem haffi dead [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rude boys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t promote no queer men, they have to dieâ&#x20AC;?]

Having been dropped from Peter Gabrielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WOMAD tour that year due to the international uproar, Banton issued an apology and then a retraction, thus beginning nearly two decades of amends-making that at best can be called schizophrenic and, at worst, disingenuous. The singer claimed he had â&#x20AC;&#x153;moved onâ&#x20AC;? from a song he wrote as a 15-year-old, supposedly about a specific, well-known case of man/boy rape. But Banton continues to perform the song.

(His microphone was switched off at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reggae CariFest in 2007 when he began it.) He also claims he makes no money from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boom Bye Bye,â&#x20AC;? but all U.S. copyright records show his name.

In June 2007, Banton finally signed the Reggae Compassionate Act (RCA), which language reads in part, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It must be clear thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no space in the music community for hatred and prejudice, including no place for racism, violence, sexism or homophobia. We do not encourage or minister to hate but rather uphold a philosophy of love, respect and understanding toward all human beings as the cornerstone of reggae music.â&#x20AC;?

Just a few weeks later, though, he denied signing it and denounced the act extensively throughout the Jamaican media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His signing of the

RCA is worthless,â&#x20AC;? says Peter Tatchell, the renowned British activist who co-founded OutRage!, part of the organization Stop Murder Music, and who coined the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;murder music.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Banton has been given so many chances to drop his incitements to kill LGBT people,â&#x20AC;? Tatchell says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has refused, or agreed and then gone back on his word.â&#x20AC;?

Cementing Bantonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation were reports from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch about his involvement in a 2004 attack on six gay men near his Kingston recording studio.

The victims were called â&#x20AC;&#x153;battymenâ&#x20AC;? by the group of armed attackers, and the savage beating left one 44-yearold victim blind in one eye. After an investigation and trial that bordered on farceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it took about a year and a lot of international pressure to even issue a warrantâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Banton was acquitted.

Still, many of his fans buy his persecution tale. Tim Nuss of Napa, 23, is one of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two years ago, I was going to his show in Oakland, but they shut it down,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave a stigma on artists who have evolved. Buju has moved on from that stage in his life; they should move on as well.â&#x20AC;? ¨

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No End to the Warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what Bay Area LGBT leaders tried on Oct. 12 when they arranged a meeting with Banton and his reps at a Larkspur hotel. San Francisco County Supervisors Bevan Dufty and Eric Mar as well as S.F. LGBT Community Center executive director Rebecca Rolfe were among the officials who met with Banton to discuss the singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics and community protests against them. Hopes were high, what with the passage of the Matthew Shepard Act that same week and President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equally noteworthy speech on gay rights.

But after grievances were expressed and a request for a town-hall meeting in Kingston was refused, no resolution was reached. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not starry-eyed, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have rose-tinted glasses,â&#x20AC;? says attendee Andrea Shorter of Equality California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a step in the right direction.â&#x20AC;?

Herself a dreadlocked African American, Shorter grew up on Bob Marley and continued her love of Jamaican music with Ziggy Marley and the ska revival of the 1980s, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appalled by what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reggae music has had great meaning to me, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about positivity and uplifting spirit and creating more unity amongst people,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what real reggae is about.â&#x20AC;?

That night at Bantonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show at San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rockit Room, a blast of pepper spray dispersed the audience.

Activist groups deny orchestrating the attack, but it nonetheless quelled any remaining hopes for progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I said in one of my songs, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is no end to the war between me and faggot,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Banton told a Jamaican talk show the next day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After I met with them, they pepper-sprayed the concert. So what are you trying to tell me? I owe dem nothing, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t owe I nothing.â&#x20AC;?

A couple weeks later at a show in New Jersey, Banton reiterated the comment. As seen on YouTube, in a medley he yells, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no end to the war between me and faggots!â&#x20AC;? He then rails against the gay marriage efforts in California, before berating â&#x20AC;&#x153;battymenâ&#x20AC;?

SpongeBob and Beavis and Butthead.

It would be laughable if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the rapturous cheers of the crowd, who waved two fingers in the air like guns and chanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boom boom, boom boom.â&#x20AC;?

Jamaica is plagued by extreme poverty, AIDS and homicide. As recently as 2005, the island nation had the highest murder rate in the world, and still averages one murder every six hours. Homosexuality remains a crime in this British commonwealth.

With a recent survey cited by Amnesty International showing that 96 percent of Jamaicans are opposed to any move to legalize homosexual relations, much of that violence is directed at the LGBT community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge is that the violence [gays and lesbians] face is one that is culturally and socially sanctioned and expected,â&#x20AC;? says Jason MacFarlane of J-FLAG, Jamaicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LGBT rights organization. Under the antiquated â&#x20AC;&#x153;buggeryâ&#x20AC;? law, sodomy is a felony punishable by imprisonment with hard labor for up to 10 years. Additionally, says MacFarlane, â&#x20AC;&#x153;any sexual intimacy between men short of that is a misdemeanor punishable by up to two years. Furthermore, neither major political party in Jamaica has expressed any support for gay rights.â&#x20AC;?

Since January 2007, reports to J-FLAG have shown at least eight men alleged to be homosexual have been murdered, and more than 35 have sustained serious injuries from mob attacks. The list of incidents is harrowing. In early 2009, two lesbian couples were raped by men who had threatened them earlier, as a form of â&#x20AC;&#x153;corrective therapy.â&#x20AC;? In 2006, Nokia Cowan died after a mob shouting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Batty boy!â&#x20AC;? chased him off a pier in downtown Kingston; he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swim.

In 2004, a teen was nearly killed when his own father learned his son was gay and invited a mob to lynch the boy at his school. The stories go on and on and on.

Despite international support, J-FLAG must keep the location of its headquarters a secret. The constant threats against the organization are taken seriously since the 2004 stabbing death of Brian Williamson, J-FLAGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder. Human Rights Watch researcher Rebecca Schleifer arrived at Williamsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home after his body was discovered and found a small crowd gathered to celebrateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with some singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boom Bye Bye.â&#x20AC;?

Patois Disconnect Why is support for such atrocities largely ignored by U.S. reggae fans?

MacFarlane feels itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing sinister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patois is not easily understood,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes people get caught up in the rhythm of a song and not so much its lyrics, and this has been what dancehall has been able to use.â&#x20AC;?

More misconceptions stem from Rastafarianism, the religious movement of many reggae artists. Though seemingly radical, with marijuana as ¨ '

a sacrament and a vegetarian diet, at its core itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based on Judeo-Christian traditions. Rastafarians believe Haile Selassie I, the final Emperor of Ethiopia, is the incarnation of God or Jah Rastafari. Followers believe his death in 1974 was a hoax. The lion in the iconic red, yellow and green flag represents Jesus, who was known as the Lion of Judah. Along with the 65 percent Christian majority in Jamaica, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see where the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s values come from.

Reggae star Pato Banton, a Britishborn veteran of the genre, calls himself a â&#x20AC;&#x153;follower of Christ,â&#x20AC;? and at one point during his recent euphoric show at Petalumaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mystic Theatre, urged the audience to spread love to a stranger next to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am fully aware of the Jamaican communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns about homosexuality from a religious point of view, but I think the line is drawn when anyone pushes for homosexuals to be hurt or to be violently attacked,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally, I try my best to live in a way of acceptance. The Bible and spiritual teachings have taught me not to judge.â&#x20AC;?

Raised in Birmingham, England, where his Jamaican DJ stepfather introduced him to the music, Pato wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immune to similar bigotry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything that was going on in Jamaica was exactly going on in our community,â&#x20AC;? he remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had friends in England who [are] very homophobic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the few rather than the

more who are accepting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried my best to educate myself about homosexuality,â&#x20AC;? he continues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;regarding the genetics of someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masculine feel as if they want to be feminine, and vice versa, and through that, I have a deeper understanding.

All people are Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re straight or gay. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got friends that are gay. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got spiritual friends that are gay. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only by getting close to those people that you truly understand the depth of what they are about.â&#x20AC;?

Pato Banton feels Buju Banton is missing out, but he is hopeful for the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More acceptance of gayness will be the case in the future, with human progress and human development,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe it will put us in a position of being more accepting and understanding and inclusive.â&#x20AC;?

Reggaedar Stop Murder Musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancehall Dossierâ&#x20AC;? translates Jamaican patois slang and shows that Banton is not alone.

1 =D 3 @ A B= @ G j = < 3 6 /B 3 = < 3 4 3 / @ [must be] assassinatedâ&#x20AC;?). Dr. Evil is a newer artist whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come under fire for his self-explanatory song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jah Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Like Gay.â&#x20AC;? Like Banton, Capleton and Sizzla have both signed the Reggae Compassionate Act. Dancehall singer Beenie Man (also an RCA signee) just had his upcoming Australian and New Zealand shows canceled, including an upcoming gig at the Big Day Out Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has never apologized for urging the killing of gay people. In fact, he put out a hit song called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I No Apologise,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? charges activist Tatchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These cancellations will hit Beenie Man hard in the pocket. He has lost tens of thousands of dollars. The success of this campaign sends a warning message to all murder music artists.â&#x20AC;?

Unlike Banton, Beenie Man proudly performs his controversial songs, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Damn,â&#x20AC;? which has him â&#x20AC;&#x153;dreaming of a new Jamaicaâ&#x20AC;? where he can â&#x20AC;&#x153;execute all gays.â&#x20AC;?

But perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of semantics. In a 2006 statement, Beenie Man explained his point of view: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jamaica is not against gay people.

Gay means consented sex. What we have in Jamaica is not what it is in England, where two men live together.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not it in Jamaica, and these people fail to understand that. In Jamaica, gay is rape. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big man with their money going into the ghetto and picking these little youth who ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got nothing.

And then give them money and then involving them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were 550 youths who got raped inna Jamaica, you know? And nobody seems to speak of that. Nobody sees the youth get raped and throat cut because the man who raped him, he knows him, and he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want him to go back and say he did it. And these things still happening.â&#x20AC;?

The gay rights movement is the civil rights struggle of our time. Some reggae fans are still deciding which side of history theyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and their moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;want to be on.

Gary Pratt of Sonoma, 19, a regular at the Reggae Rising festival each year, calls Buju Banton and Sizzla his favorite artists but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with their viewpoints on gays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to agree with everything theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re singing,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one takes it to heart too much, their stances on things. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from a completely different culture from us.â&#x20AC;?

On the flipside sits a forum post on New Jerseyâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based DancehallReggae.com.

Entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Biggest Battybwoy Killing Anthems of all Time,â&#x20AC;? the thread has collected over 300 different songs. One user insists Jigsy Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rapapampamâ&#x20AC;?

is the best of all time: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played this song one day, next thing you know I turned on the news and Luther Vandross was dead.â&#x20AC;?

Has it always been this way? Perhaps no one in the world knows more about reggaeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golden age than writer and historian Roger Steffens. Ras Rojah, as Bob Marley nicknamed him, says that he never encountered such hatred back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never. Not even a hint of it,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they did, it was more as something of humor and not telling people to go out and beat up batty boys and [rape] lesbians, as a lot of these people are doing these days. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s despicable.â&#x20AC;?

An early example of the humor Steffens cites is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two Lesbians Hitch,â&#x20AC;? a 1981 song by Johnny Ringo describing two lesbians getting stuck on a sexual aid. But even back then, local DJ Drepemba of KPFA-FM (94.1) was kicked off the air for playing it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was meant as a joke, you know, but people are very, very sensitive, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame them,â&#x20AC;? Steffens says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much hatred in the world. It ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right.â&#x20AC;?

Equality Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andrea Shorter thinks a movement toward tolerance is possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an inclination to excuse ignorance and hatred of other minority groups because they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a fair shake themselves,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Mr. Banton is a man of the world at this point; he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it both ways.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would these venues host a concert by a neo-Nazi singer who called for the murder of black and Jewish people?â&#x20AC;? asks Peter Tatchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not against reggae, just against these few artists who incite homophobic violence and murder. Inciting violence and murder is a criminal offense everywhere.â&#x20AC;?

Steffens reminds that reggae inherently serves a greater purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It teaches people how to live a giving, happy, fruitful and praising life, aware of the influence of the deity in our lives and that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a broader world out there that we have to engage with,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Despite the musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seemingly progressive nature, no reggae artists, roots or otherwise, have publicly supported respect for gays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very hypocritical because there are gay clubs that everybody knows about,â&#x20AC;? Steffens says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and some of the best-known artists and academics are obviously gay.â&#x20AC;?

Any names? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to tell you,â&#x20AC;? he replies with a nervous laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to protect their lives.â&#x20AC;?

1/0/@3B 4C<2@/7A3@ The Youth Resource Bank needs ducats in order to continue its mission of supporting poor and working-class kids, so it is raising money the old-fashioned way: throwing an irresistible party. Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shindig features a slate of particularly talented local acts, including high-energy Moroccan fusion band Aza, Grammy-nominated soul siren Tammi Brown and the duo of chanteuse Nancy LeVan (of the late-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s phenom Dresden) and stage-seasoned guitarist Bill Walker.

Saturday, Jan. 9, at 7pm at Kuumbwa, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $20 at Gateways and BookWorks. gVc\^c\!

Streep Lights Nancy Meyers hews to romcom traditions in triangular affair with Streep, Baldwin and Martin 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

I

N SANTA BARBARA, Jane (Meryl Streep), a successful restaurateur, hooks up with her ex-husband Jake (Alec Baldwin), despite the fact that Jake is married to a younger woman. Meanwhile, a shy, sad sack of an architect, Adam (Steve Martin), also shows some interest in her. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Complicated serves its core audience wellâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;women of a certain age who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be caught dead at Avatar.

Certainly, classic-era romcom bones are visible under the expensive skin of Nancy Meyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; newest, and she had the inspiration to make Martin into Ralph Bellamy, not to mention making Alec Baldwin into Jack Nicholson.

Commentators often note the rich staging in Meyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; films, largely because there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough going on in the foreground. The film may f launt chocolate croissants and croque monsieurs and in several other ways indicate French farce as its source, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about as French as Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mustard.

Meyers (Somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gotta Give, What Women Want) puts the solidly practical, American view of what the kids will think of this affair (even though the kids are grown up). And Meyers frets over the possibility of offending the sensibilities of the audience; Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injured spouse, Agness with an extra â&#x20AC;&#x153;s,â&#x20AC;? is portrayed as a harpy. Lake Bell plays Agness, and Meyers photographs this powerful-looking womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth and jaw to make Bell appear as ruthless as Burt Lancaster.

B63 972 AB/GA =CB =4 B63 >71BC@3 Grand dame Meryl Streep soaks it up while funny boy Alec Baldwin waits to be of service in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Complicated.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Baldwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low-down comedy is delightfully uninhibited; the man will do anything for a laugh, including pants-down jokes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange, though, to see Meyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vision of what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like when an older woman gets romantic: a reversion to girlhood with loads of consumption of chocolate. (Even bearing in mind that eating sweets is a metaphor for sex in the movies, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of it going on here.)

Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good points are her ability to cook and to cultivate very expensive real estate, but this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve what most of us men really like in women past 40â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the wisdom, for one

thing, and the lack of coquetry. The movie has its moments, including a pretty hilarious marijuana-smoking scene, but Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Complicated is overly complicatedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it lasts too long, and it ends with an audible thud.

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S COMPLICATED (R; 118 min.), directed and written by Nancy Meyers, photographed by John Toll and starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, plays countywide.

The film focuses on Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), who overcame homelessness as a teenager to received a football scholarship to the University of Mississippi and later played in the NFL. Oher succeeded with the help of a wealthy Christian couple, Ole Miss grads Leigh Anne (Sandra Bullock) and Sean

switching gears entirely from live action to stop-action animation, director Wes Anderson has created his most consistently enjoyable film. Based on a Roald Dahl childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, Fantastic Mr. Fox is a fairy tale, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a realistic, slightly bleak one. Fox (voiced by George Clooney) is living a straight life with his wife (Meryl Streep). A midlife crisis rouses the beast; he decides to turn hunter once again. Retaliation comes fast and hard: the Fox is robbed of his tail by a shotgun blast.

In the war that follows, Fox and his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and, soon, all the creatures in the woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;become refugees. (RvB) 7<D71BCA (PG-13;

Dealing with the moods of the already notorious Welles, Richard is drawn by two women: one is Wellesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assistant Sonja (Claire Danes); the other is a yearning would-be writer (Zoe Kazan) who longs to get into The New Yorker. Shooting at a restored old theater in Douglas, on the Isle of Man, director Richard Linklater re-creates Wellesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; New York staging of Julius Caesar in fascist blackshirt costumes.

min.) Two figures, half-starved on a perilous road to the sea, are the survivors of some thorough but indefinite holocaust.

All civilization has broken down utterly; long-pig consumption is on the rise. The film offers a serious vision of a world without warmth, humor or sex, and only a lightweight, one thinks, would flee from it. The Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postapocalyptic center is a moral struggle: even as his strength wanes, Vigo Mortensenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Man tries pass on the spirit of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the good guysâ&#x20AC;? to his son. The son is called, as in Tarzan movies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boyâ&#x20AC;?

(Kodi Smit-McPhee).

The film has its moments. Mortensenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real-to-the-pith suffering is unimpeachable, and a sightless Robert Duvallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tales of apocalypse have some genuine weight to them. (RvB) A63@:=19 6=:;3A

(PG-13; 128 min.)

There are moments during Sherlock Holmes when you wish you could hit director Guy Ritchie with his own storyboard; there are bone-crushing fights that you feel like applauding for just to celebrate the fact that

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over at last. Yet all in all, Sherlock Holmes is ripping fun. Robert Downey Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expert acting reflects Aldous Huxleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought that if you could open the doors of perception, you would see the world as it is: infinite.

This insight sums up the mind of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest detectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it also sums up the mind of a schizophrenic.

Downeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holmes is a dandy in high Victorian regalia, smoked glasses, ascots and the kind of slanted hats worn in Oscar Wildeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle. But we also see another side of Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a hermit crab in a dank flat, huddled under a silk dressing gown so raveled it looks shaggy as a bear skin. The movie keeps coming back to a serene partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when Holmes says â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afoot,â&#x20AC;? Jude Lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formidable Watson picks up the rest of the Henry V quote. (RvB) C> 7< B63 /7@ (R; 109 min.) As the predatory Ryan Bingham, George Clooney delivers a startlingly good performance. Sadly, the film is compromised by director Jason Reitman, who shows signs of morphing into Cameron Crowe. Bingham is a hired terminatorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a

man brought in to fire people; he tolerates this job with benefits of an executive life with plenty of travel. Enter a young, seemingly equally callous rival (Anna Kendrick). Having this inexperienced girl along interrupts Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regularly scheduled no-strings flings with a fellow constant business traveler, Alex (Vera Farmiga). The acrid first half is the best partâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Clooney makes us admire Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gamesmanship. The film wants us to equate two different kinds of toxicitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to draw a line between the corporate bloodletting that juices up stock portfolios and the wrongness of the present-tense sex life that Ryan and Alex enjoy.

Too bad that Farmiga and Clooney are such a scintillating pair that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see them pay the piper.

101 min.) The beast suitsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;part costumes, part CGIâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are accurate versions of the Sendak illustrations. Max Records seems just right as Max, the little boy whose father is out of the picture, who flees to a monster island.

The feature film gives

children due respect for their towering moods. But childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moods change, and this filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially gloomy, like a collection of Peanuts strips clipped of their punch lines.

The film is staged in an Australian forest, the domain of seven or eight depressed creatures (Lauren Ambrose, James Gandolfini and Catherine Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara, among others). Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cautious and fretful; they form cliques and snipe at each other. The rumpusing beastliness always ends with some injury, as per Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning about how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Scriptwriter Dave Eggersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work is typically formless, cute and drifty.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no artistic force behind this movie, only whims and anxieties. A parting word from the beasts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go home, will you say good things about us?,â&#x20AC;? seems addressed to a baffled audience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a cult item for aging-children hipster types, the ones who would wear their terrycloth wolf-suits to work if they could. (RvB) B63 G=C<5 D71B=@7/ (PG; 104

min.) Unforgivably static, despite the

fascinating subject: the early and often unpopular years of the longest-reigning and most iron-bottomed British royal who ever lived. As Victoria, the lovely and suitably aristocratic Emily Blunt is the best part of this story. Treated with brutal overcaution and surveillance by her mother, the Duchess of Kent (Miranda Richardson), and her friend (perhaps with benefits) Lord Conroy, the girl is kept locked up and escorted down all stairs as if she were a brittle-boned child.

When she grows older, her cousin Albert (Rupert Friend) comes to court, and this starts a romance, tainted with scheming by the power in Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, the perfidious Belgian king (Thomas Kretschmann).

Director Jean-Marc ValĂŠe slows things down and smooths over the complexities of history; matters get simplified to the point where it seems like nothing is going on in the world outside the problem of Victoria trying to get some time alone with Albert. The sketchy background and the slow pace bring on the familiar PBS-watcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narcosis. (RvB)

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of January 6 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): According to my reading of the astrological omens, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a hairon-fire kind of week for youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and yet also a heartin-repose kind of week. In other words, you have the potential to be fierce and relaxed, vigorously ambitious and sublimely poised. In fact, this might be one of those rare times when you can be both a justice-dispensing warrior and an enlightenmentseeking magician. Want to turn water into wine when the pressureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on? Find the pearl of great price in the heat of the battle? Feats like these are quite possible.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): Can you pull off a midcourse correction while hurtling through the air across a chasm during a leap of faith? If anyone is capable of such a feat, you are. However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer it if that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather see you prepare a little better, like by procuring the help youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d need to create a safety net or sturdy bridge that will stretch across the chasm. Or by getting one of those jet packs to strap across your back and allow you to f ly. Or by taking as much guesswork as possible out of the details about how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get from the edge of one cliff to the edge on the other side.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): This is one of those rare times when you can get abundant access to insider secrets, unauthorized information, taboo knowledge and forbidden wisdom. Proceed carefully. As much as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an advocate of you getting to the whole truth and nothing but the truth, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also my duty to remind you that it could be disruptive to find out all of the truth in one big swoop. You should ask yourself if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fully prepared to change what needs to be changed once the previously hidden stuff emerges. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not, it might be better to wait until you are.

1/<13@ ( June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Which metropolitan areas in America have the most brainpower? Not the best sports teams or the richest businessmen or the most powerful politicians, but the smartest people? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Daily Beastâ&#x20AC;? did a study and declared that the top two were the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina and the San Francisco Bay Area. Now it so happens that those are the two places where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent much of my adult life. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m brilliant, but it does suggest I have an instinct for knowing where the brilliant people congregate. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m quite sure that they have been a very good inf luence on me.

My recommendation to you in 2010, Cancerian, is to cultivate this knack. Gravitate toward genius. Surround yourself with deep thinkers and innovative dreamers. Hang out in the vicinity of brainstorms.

:3= ( July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more you complain,â&#x20AC;? says an old adage, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the longer God lets you live.â&#x20AC;?

If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, I hope you will be adding many years to your lifespan in the coming week. Would you like to live to the age of 100? There are many rich and colorful opportunities for you to lodge protests right now. You have cosmic permission to rouse a ruckus in the name of improving the way everything works. But try to concentrate on constructive criticism that really helps transform whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuck. The Divine Wow is more likely to give credit for that approach than for mere narcissistic grousing.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): A reader calling herself Rebellioness collaborated with me to come up with five revolutionized approaches to the art of rebellion. I present them here for your use, as they identify the kinds of behavior that will be most nurturing for you to cultivate in the coming weeks. 1. Experimenting with uppity, mischievous optimism. 2. Invoking insurrectionary levels of wildly interesting generosity. 3. Indulging in an insolent refusal to be chronically fearful. 4.

Pursuing a cheeky ambition to be as wide-awake as a dissident young messiah. 5. Bringing reckless levels of creative intelligence to all expressions of love.

:70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): I want to tell you about Harj, a character in Douglas Couplandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel Generation A. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an enterprising young Sri Lankan man who sells â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebrity room tonesâ&#x20AC;? over the Internet. Each hour-long recording purports to convey the sound of the silence that pervades the homes of luminaries like Mick Jagger and Cameron Diaz when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not there. I think that you Libras

are now primed to learn from Harjâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s example.

Like him, you have the power to capitalize on nothingness and absence and emptiness.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): A guy I know broke up with his girlfriend recently. He used a timehonored strategy: making it sound as if he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worthy of her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a grandmaster at a chess tournament,â&#x20AC;? he told her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;while I just got my first checkerboard and am still figuring out how to play checkers.â&#x20AC;? He was implying that she was much more skillful than he was in the arts of relationship.

I have a feeling that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a situation like this in your world, Scorpioâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an alliance in which the two parties are at different levels of maturity. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not necessarily saying you should sever the connection.

But you should at least acknowledge the gap and decide what to do about it.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): In a million years, I would never authorize you to unleash your naked greed and give it unconditional license to careen through the world gobbling and acquiring and appropriating. However, due to an odd blip in the astrological configurations, I am at liberty to give you permission to unleash your discerning, elegant greed and grant it a temporary dispensation to sample more than usual of anything that captivates your ravenous imagination.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are what you love, not what loves you,â&#x20AC;? says the character Charlie Kaufman in the film, Adaptation. (Kaufman is played by Nicolas Cage, who has three planets in Capricorn.) I urge you to work hard to make that perspective your own, Capricorn. Ideally, it will become a permanent addition to your philosophy of life. But please at least try to install it as your primary words to live by for the next three weeks.

To do so will smooth out a distortion in your energy field, making it easier for people to love you. /?C/@7CA ( Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): I suspect you have to go down into the underworld for a while.

But you have a choice about how it will play out.

You shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for some random goblin to come along and pull you down into the miserable abyss. Instead, be proactive. Shop around for a more useful abyssâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a womblike pit with halfdecent accommodations and a good learning environmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and go there under your own power. That way you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to slog your way through musty fogs and creepy pests and slimy muck. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep your suffering to a minimum and attract adventures that are more intriguing than demoralizing.

>7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): When my acupuncturist pushes a needle into my chest, my feet sometimes twitch involuntarily. A jab in my earlobe can cause my hand to leap off the table; when she pokes the bridge of my nose, my liver may throb. The lesson for me is that parts of the body are linked in ways that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obvious. I invite you to expand this principle as you use it to evaluate the interconnections between different areas of your life. How do your attitudes about love affect your ability to attract money? (And vice versa.) Are there any ways in which your capacity for happiness is affected by your political views? How do your judgments about other people impact your physical health? More than even you farseeing Pisceans imagine, everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s linked to everything.
