THE BULLHORN

The Change I Wish to Be 0G 2/D3 5@7A6/E 8=<3A

N

EARLY nine years ago I was sitting in a terminal at Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Logan Airport waiting for a f light to California. It was the first day of f lights since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d closed the place down on 9/11. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been an enthusiastic f lier, but that day I was more than anxious. The broadcast images of destruction, the mug shots of terrorists: I was sure it would happen again. I was scared to death it would happen again. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d left two kids at home in bed.

Worst of all, sitting there in the gate area, I found myself looking around suspiciously. Looking for dark faces, Arab faces, terrorist faces. When two Arab-looking young men boarded a different f light, bound for Miami and not California, I breathed a sigh of relief. I watched for others.

I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that violence breeds suspicion. I knew that then, and still I fell into the sinister temptation.

Call it racism, call it ignorance, call it what you will. I feared dark-skinned men in airports. I feared Arab-American neighbors in public places. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no Rush Limbaugh, but I fell for it.

I think about that day, and that terminal, often these days. I remember it clearly, not as a high moment but as a warning sign. I think it was Gandhi who said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be the change you wish to see in the world.â&#x20AC;? In a lot of ways, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent nine years trying to be that change. For my sake. For my kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sake. For the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Fear makes for bitterness and lousy politics. I want to be better than that.

So, all these years later, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m preparing for a two-week experience in Palestine and in Israel with 25 congregants and Santa Cruz friends. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lead the delegation with my friend and colleague, Rabbi Paula Marcus of Temple Beth El in Aptos. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll visit with bold Israeli peacemakers and defiant Palestinian pacifists. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll break bread with Muslim sheikhs and Rabbis for Human Rights. Most of their stories will be strange, unfamiliar and unsettling. Some may even challenge our own countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role, purpose, history in the Middle East. I imagine weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see some broken hearts. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hard.

But our commitment is to dialogue, respect and openness. Our belief is in the kind of peacemaking that emerges from honest relationships. There are profound women and menâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in Palestine, in Israel, around the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who resist fear and hatred, even when these seem justified by years of history.

We want to learnâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at least a little bitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from them. In two weeks we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hope to change the dynamics of Middle East conf lict, but we can become at least a bit of the change we wish to see in the world. It starts with us. It starts now.

Fear makes for bitterness and lousy politics. I want to be better than that.

THE REV. DAVE GRISHAW-JONES is Senior Minister of First Congregational Church in Santa Cruz. He and Rabbi Paula Marcus will lead a 25-person delegation to Israel and Palestine this summer, leaving July 14 and returning July 28.

>:C5532 7< Mayor Mike Rotkin doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think smart meters are all that bright.

Meter Cheater

T

HESE DAYS, nothing says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a 21st-century productâ&#x20AC;? quite like the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;smartâ&#x20AC;? in front of it. There are â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart phones,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart cars,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart loans,â&#x20AC;? even â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart toilets.â&#x20AC;? So it should come as no surprise that gas and electric companies statewide are rolling out new â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart metersâ&#x20AC;? that will replace the oldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;apparently â&#x20AC;&#x153;dumbâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;mechanical usage meters with high-tech digital versions that track energy use down to microscopic detail and beam the info wirelessly to the power company.

In California, however, not everyone is using the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;smartâ&#x20AC;? to describe this new digital revolution. As of last week, Pacific Gas & Electric Company had received 1,493 complaints from customers over the meters, most of whom argue that the fancy gauges grossly overcharged them to the tune of 30 to 70 percent. PG&E has already installed about 5.8 million new meters in places like Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley, and the company expects to start installing them in Santa Cruz County and the Bay Area this month.

But local leaders are hoping to stop the installations until an independent study ordered by the California Public Utilities Commission is completed that can show if and where the metersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; intelligence is lacking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think PG&E should slow down the installation of the meters and work out any problems before they start installing them,â&#x20AC;? says Santa Cruz Mayor Mike Rotkin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These meters have a less-thansterling reputation.â&#x20AC;?

Rotkin says the Santa Cruz City

Council will soon discuss joining the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors and the San Francisco City Council in putting its concerns in writing with a resolution opposing the installations of smart meters until the study is completed, likely by the end of the summer. A representative at CPUC, however, says that despite local opposition, meter replacements for Santa Cruz Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 184,170 gas and electric connections will proceed as planned. Any last-minute delay to the installations would need to come at the state level.

On that end, District 27 Assemblymember Bill Monning says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned with meter inaccuracies as well, but that his main anxiety stems from who can access the bevy of individual information that the devices track, then beam through WiFi into the wild blue yonder.

Monning says he plans to support a piece of legislation authored by District 16 state Sen. Dean Florez that would force PG&E and other smart-meterusing companies to guarantee that no one besides the power company and the customer would be able to get hold of smart meter data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very concerned with as a constitutional lawyer,â&#x20AC;? says Monning, who hopes to vote on the billâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;S.B. 837â&#x20AC;&#x201D;when it comes before the Assembly, likely sometime this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An area of concern would be if this information is sold to other companies.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned with this technology on a number of levels.â&#x20AC;?

Why Work?

How working less leads to living more and why health insurance is our biggest enemy

0G :37:/<7 1:/@9 7

J

UST BEFORE leaving my last full-time teaching gig in 2005, I shot off an email to the head of the charter school organization for which I worked explaining that I was leaving my position as a humanities teacher because I felt the job had become completely unsustainable. I could no longer work the 10- to 12-hour days that it took to get all of the work done while remaining sane and healthy. I had no time for my relationships or for my own creative projects, much less for healthy living.

Honestly, the work usually drove me straight to the liquor bottle on the weekends as a quick and easy way to escape the stress. I could not be a good teacher to my eighth-grade students if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to take care of myself. I never received a response to my email, but I never regretted sending it. ¨ #

1=D3@ AB=@G j E6G E=@9Rather than returning to full-time employment, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent the last five years whittling away at my consumption habits, learning to be more self-sufficient in my cooking and food growing and developing a love for bike riding. I have also spent the last few years justifying this decision to myself and others, staving off the guilt that arises when I see my husband get up each morning to go to his 40-plus-hour-a-week job while I sleep in and make my own schedule as a writer and very part-time online instructor. But a few recent books and studies have begun to make me feel that the ongoing process of shortening my workweek in a manner both sustainable and economically feasible is actually part of a 21st-century zeitgeist rather than an idlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cop-out.

In February of 2010, the New Economics Foundation (NEF)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;an independent, left-oriented think tank based in the Britain thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedicated to â&#x20AC;&#x153;improving quality of life by promoting innovative solutions that challenge mainstream thinking on economic, environment and social issueâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;released a multipage report titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;21 Hours.â&#x20AC;?

Available for free on the NEF website, the goal of the report is to provoke debate about the economic and environmental benefits of making a 21hour workweek the norm, as opposed to the current 40-plus-hour week.

The NEF arrived at the number 21 by looking at British time-use surveys on how men and women of working ageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which includes the employed, unemployed and those described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;economically inactiveâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;allocate their time over 24 hours. On average, according to the report, people spend 19.6 hours a week in paid work.

The report puts forward myriad paradigm-shifting theories and proposals concerning work, consumption and the possibilities for societal shift in the next few decades. Part of a greater shift toward sustainability, the idea of transforming work patterns as a way to push society out of its current economic and environmental morass comes not a moment too soon. As a gusher in the depths of the Gulf of Mexico spews tragic amounts of oil like a hemorrhaging wound, there has never been a better time to try and develop new ways of living, ways that no longer tax the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and its inhabitantsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at such an unprecedented level.

The New 40 Identified as both a â&#x20AC;&#x153;thought experimentâ&#x20AC;? and a call to action, the

authors of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;21 Hoursâ&#x20AC;? report argue that our current rate of economic and market growth is unsustainable. While the accepted line of argument remains â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growth is good,â&#x20AC;? in our looking-glass world it is the opposite that is actually true. According to the Global Footprint Network, we are currently using 140 percent of the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The 40-hour work week was born in the industrial age, when people made widgets in factories. The modern world is a much different place than the one we used to work in, and smart individuals are discovering that time doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t equal productivity.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

If the current population and consumption trends continue, U.N. scenarios suggest that by the middle of the next decade we will need the equivalent of two earths to support us. We need to make a 90 percent reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050 if we want a healthy planet around for our children and grandchildren. And this is not a doomsday scenario; this is Basic Science 101.

The NEF argues that a shortened workweek is one of the absolute best ways to move toward a less carbon¨ $

dependent culture. If people are making less, they will buy less; if they buy less, pressure on the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources lets up. Furthermore, if citizens spend less time finding and maintaining full-time paid work, they have more time to do the essential and virtually lost work of community-building, democratic participation, child-rearing and household maintenance. The use of alternative forms of transportation like cycling, bus-riding and car-sharing might become more alluring as people no longer have to rush to and from work.

In addition, with so many people living in poverty and hunger in the world, a shortened workweek could spread the jobs more evenly among those who would like to work but currently cannot find employment.

Another benefit, according to the NEF, would be a move toward a more gender-equitable society. In an ideal implementation of the plan, it would become easier to create a more equal distribution of work between the genders.

With environmental and economic catastrophe seemingly just around the corner, the shorter workweek may be one solution for creating a more resilient and socially just society while reducing nasty carbon emissions and unsustainable consumption. As the report states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; working week of 21 hours could help to address a range of urgent, interlinked problems: overwork, unemployment, overconsumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, entrenched inequalities, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life.â&#x20AC;?

Work Spend Work Of course, the obvious hole in this argument is that the numbers for the report are all based on U.K. statistics.

Could this proposal ever become a tenable solution in the larger, consumption-drunk United States, where long hours of work and monetary status are equated with success?

European countries also have the benefit of socialized health care, as well as a history of less consumer-driven lifestyles. In Germany, workers clock in 350 hours less per year than their American counterparts. In the United States, where the trend has been the oppositeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we have actually been working increasingly more hours since 1973â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the tide may be harder to turn. At this point, Americans spend an average of 8.8 hours a day in work-related activities, according to Bureau of Labor statistics. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of the work-spendwork mentality that pervades American culture.

But there are Americans who believe a shortened workweek is not only possible but imperative to healing the environment and creating social equity. Such thinkers include professor Juliet Schor, author of Plenitude: The New Economics of Truth Wealth; Annie Leonard, author of The Story of Stuff; and popular bloggers on pro-downshifting websites, such as Tammy Strobel at RowdyKittens.com and Everett Bogue at FarBeyondTheStars.com.

Bogue, who wrote an e-book called The Art of Being Minimalist: How to Stop Consuming and Start Living, argues that the shortened workweek (he thinks even 21 hours is too many) is a noble and reachable goal in an increasingly complicated, recession-ridden world.

Bogue has blogged for the past year about leaving his day job at a major New York magazine in order to create a life that centered around less drudge work and more time.

Since leaving full-time employment, he has built a successful online business and shortened his workweek by more than half. On his blog, Bogue talks about ways to spend time previously spent at work. Yoga, cooking at home and healthy living are all part of the package, and owning only approximately 75 personal items helps to keep expenses down.

In a time when all that is certain is uncertainty, Bogueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message of selfempowerment through downshifting has resonated with people looking for a way off the work-spend-work hamster wheel.

In his mid-20s and childless, Bogue is lucky not to have many of the responsibilities of older folks, but he has plenty of college-loan debt and is adamant in his belief that anyone can work a shortened, passion-driven workweek if they want it badly enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We as a society work too much. We drag ourselves to the office like work is a regularly scheduled program, but

the reality is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not,â&#x20AC;? says Bogue via email from his new home base of Oakland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 40-hour workweek was born in the industrial age, when people made widgets in factories. The modern world is a much different place than the one we used to work in, and smart individuals are discovering that time doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t equal productivity.â&#x20AC;?

Myth of the Eternally Productive Planet Bogueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument does have a basis in historical fact. The number of hours spent working has risen with the rise of industrial capitalism. In the past 150 years, Americans have entered a workspend-work cycle that some argue was purposefully constructed by those in the know, the political and economic leaders who wish to see the economy expand indefinitely and who most benefit from it. Could it be that American assumptions about â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? work hours and beliefs that long work hours equals more success have all been constructed specifically to keep us in a cycle that rewards those at the top but not those at the bottom?

Annie Leonard, host of the thunderously popular 20-minute film The Story of Stuff and one of Time magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2008 Heroes of the Environment, agrees that a shortened workweek could have a major positive effect of slowing our steadily quickening environmental and social catastrophe. In her latest book, which shares the same title as the film, Leonard says that with the huge increase in productivity that resulted from the Industrial Revolution, industrialized societies faced a choice to either keep producing the same amount of stuff as before and work less or to keep working the same number of hours and continue to produce as much as possible. Political, economic and even labor representatives chose to keep work hours at the maximum in order to keep the economy expanding.

Like a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday balloon, the economy can only stretch so far before it bursts. Far from an endlessly reproducing mechanism, the expansion of the economy depends on mass consumption and an eternally productive planet. The reality is that the earth only has so many renewable resources, and those are disappearing at a rate that looks more like oblivion than progress. A shortened workweek might contribute to a switch from the assumption that more is better to the more sustainable philosophy that less ¨ &

With a 12.6 percent unemployment rate in California (excluding the â&#x20AC;&#x153;discouragedâ&#x20AC;? unemployed), now may be the right time to start thinking of alternative approaches to work. Schor, a professor of sociology at Boston College, argues that spreading the work out among more people is a way to ensure more employment while lowering consumption levels. Promoting parttime work as a solvent way of being could be a start. Labor unions would need to get on board with this switch and the minimum wage would need to be raised to ensure that those in lower wage jobs are able to making a living.

Sarah May Grunwald, a California ex-pat now settled in Italy, works as a freelance tour guide, a docent at the Vatican and a sommelier. She has also made a concerted effort to simplify her work schedule and cut down her hours, partly as a lifestyle choice and partly because a health condition prevents her from working comfortably full-time.

Grunwald works an average of three to four hours five days a week, which she says gives her plenty of time for hiking, household duties, seeing friends, quality time with her dogs and other hobbies. The pay per hour is excellent, providing her an opportunity to work less. Grunwald also makes sure to live simply and to save for dry times, since her work tends to be seasonal. While there are drawbacks to such a scheduleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the stress of not always having consistent workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Grunwald is happy with her choice to downshift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 20 hours a week would be next to impossible for me,â&#x20AC;? she says from her home outside of Rome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, so I think I found the ideal job. I can work as much or as little I like.â&#x20AC;?

She does point out that not having children helps, and of course there is the issue of health care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have the benefit of living in a country with an excellent socialized health care system, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about benefits or buying insurance,â&#x20AC;? Grunwald says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any benefits. I think this would not work for me in the United States.â&#x20AC;?

The Health Care Hitch To make the shortened workweek a reality, wages would have to be raised to accommodate fewer hours, and overtime would need to be discouraged. People might be rewarded for not taking their work home. Health insurance would

have to be completely reconfigured so that employers wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be penalized for providing insurance to those who work under 40 hours a week.

In addition, there would have to be a solid training system in place to prepare the population for the different jobs available. While all of these aspects might seem like overwhelming challenges, the NEF report argues that legalized slavery and disenfranchised women were both assumed to be incontrovertible realities. Now they seem preposterous.

Far from an endlessly reproducing mechanism, the expansion of the economy depends on mass consumption and an eternally productive planet So is there a downside to switching to a 21-hour workweek? Michael Bomford, an Agriculture and Energy Fellow at the Santa Rosaâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based Post Carbon Institute, believes that there are a few kinks that would really need to be worked out before something like this would be possible across the globe.

While he agrees that perpetual growth is unsustainable and that we should be working less with machines and products becoming more efficient, he also sees potholes in the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sympathetic to their desire to see a more equitable distribution of work, particularly among people who want to work, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see my 90-year-old grandfather working 26 hours so that I can work 26 hours,â&#x20AC;? says Bomford by phone from his Kentucky farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Different people have different skills and abilities, and there will always be considerable

j '

A/<B/1@CH 1=; july 7-14, 2010 1=D3@ AB=@G

inequality in terms of how much work each individual is able to contribute to society.â&#x20AC;?

The conundrum of health insurance also poses a serious problem for implementation of this plan in the United States. Since coverage is usually tied to full-time employment, it is virtually impossible to work part-time and have insurance, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Providing benefits is a very expensive part of employing a person,â&#x20AC;? Bomford says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cost of employing people would increase dramatically if you had to provide health benefits to each of these essentially part-time employees.

On the other hand, our system is broken. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come up with a way to provide benefits to people who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paid employees, and obviously the United Kingdom has a different system than we do, with the single-payer health care system. It allows a little more flexibility.â&#x20AC;?

In the end though, Bomford does see the benefits to shrinking the amount of time spent in paid work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had more timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because less of our time is dedicated to paid employmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;then it would free up time for us to live more sustainably.

Generally, people who work more consume more. People need to consume more in order to give themselves more time for a long workday. If you have two working parents putting in 40hour workweeks, that is essentially socially unsustainable. They need fast food, prepackaged ingredients, packaged cereals, dryers and two cars in order to maintain that kind of life. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating energy demand in order to maintain that intense work schedule.â&#x20AC;?

While there are challenges to changing our thinking about work and consumption, writers like Bogue and Leonard propose alternate ways of approaching how we spend our time.

One possibility for broad and incremental change would be to study real models of shortened workweeks, including the mandatory four-day workweek, which the state of Utah employees experimented with in 2008â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2009, and the 35-hour workweek in France.

Websites like Shareable.net are working to provide information about how to build more resilient societies through sharing, sustainable living and alternate approaches to the work-spend conundrum. Now, if we could get the whole health insurance mess worked out here, we might be able to move closer to making a less stressful and demanding workweek more of a floodlight than a distant glimmer. 0

Maya, or /\/\/\Y/\, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known typographically, is out July 13, and it is not as much of a piece of shit as these two songs would have one believe.

Rather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daringly creative, a pastiche of noises culled from post-punk, industrial and experimental palettes arranged into structured form and immediate hooks. References to living online abound, from the YouTubeinspired cover art to intentionally glitchy digital noise, and cultural globetrotting is still M.I.A.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gambit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steppinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Upâ&#x20AC;? rattles like the inside of a Detroit car factory; â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Takes a Muscleâ&#x20AC;? siphons Caribbean reggae by way of Brixton; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meds and Fedsâ&#x20AC;? channels D.C. hardcore.

M.I.A. sings that â&#x20AC;&#x153;all I ever wanted was my story to be told,â&#x20AC;? and now that it has been, and exhaustively so, she croons (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell Me Why,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spaceâ&#x20AC;?), squawks (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teqkillaâ&#x20AC;?) and mumbles (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lovalotâ&#x20AC;?) stories more removed from whatever political stances she may claim. As far as I can ascertain, Maya teems with political references but contains no actual political songs.

Despite an intro connecting Google to the government, Maya namechecks the Taliban, Obama, the CIA, the FBI, time bombs, the Pope, marijuana, cops and Gandhi without tying any of these concepts together. The rest of M.I.A.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs are mostly about love, a subject as knotty as politics but one which rarely gets pop stars in trouble, and, with increasing frequency, herself, and her wealth, and her fame.

Is this what moving to America, and more specifically Southern California, has done to M.I.A.? Made her kick against the country she calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;chicken factoryâ&#x20AC;? while aping its lowest forms of art? Perhaps. But remember that her art-school pose exponentially relies on embracing contradiction, in this case selling a critique of America to America from an area of Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;she lives in Brentwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with a median income upward of $100,000. Beneath the media din, not only is M.I.A. owning the pose, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blaringly original pose set to an album with dramatic production and unexpected highlights.

With one concessionary â&#x20AC;&#x153;hitâ&#x20AC;? single anchoring this postmodern mashup, the fact is that Maya is the perfect record for M.I.A. to be making right now. 0

5@=E< C>A (PG13; 102 min.) Lenny Feder (Sandler) and his gangâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Eric (Kevin James), Marcus (David Spade), Rob (Rob Schneider), plus Kurt (Chris Rock)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;reunite when their childhood basketball coach (Blake Clark) passes away. Afterward, the five pals and their families stay together over the Fourth of July weekend at a lake house. Why are they there? To hang out for about 100 minutes of running time. Seriously, nothing of significant note happens. Juggling five stars in one film leads to too many underdeveloped characters. Only Sandlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lenny, a wealthy Hollywood agent, gets some of his due. Great comedians such as Rock are underutilized and not in their element. (SR)

(PG; 140 min.) Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith, plays a child who moves to China with his mother, and is tormented by bullies at his new school. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance man ( Jackie Chan) takes the boy under his wing and teaches him martial arts. This remake of the 1984 coming-of-age tale shows that self-control, not violence, is the key to maturity. (SC) 9<756B /<2 2/G

(PG-13; 130 min.) It is hard to tell whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too old for whom: the script for the stale slice-of-cake spy movie Knight and Day or the actors reciting it. The theory must have been: If the plot arcs, the characters donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to, even if the plot couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill a coke spoon. Boston garage owner June (Cameron Diaz) encounters mischievous secret agent Roy (Tom Cruise) in the Wichita airport. Soon the two are f lying a jet into a cornfield, after

which FBI agents pursue them from all directions. They head to the Caribbean, then to Salzburg. Director James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma) shows his leaden touch for gunfights.

The key to the Bond movies, Roald Dahl claimed, was that you could kill as many people as you liked as long as you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it sadistically. Mangold tries to revive the formulaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;making a winking shoot-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em-up among a slamdance of SUVsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but he seems to have seized the wrong end of the 1960s: Knight and Day is more redolent of the spy capers filmed when everyone was sick to death of making them, let alone watching them. The two stars are trying to coast when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on f lat dreary ground. (RvB) B63 :/AB /7@03<23@ (PG;

110 min.) It happened again. Another M. Night Shyamalan script was greenlighted

by some movie producers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clue about what makes a watchable movie. The movie, which is an adaptation of the Nickelodeon animated series, covers season one (Book One: Water) of the TV show; it focuses on 12-year-old monk and last Airbender Aang (Noah Ringer). Aang discovers that he is the new Avatar, a once-ina-generation person who can control (bend) all four elements and who is tasked with bringing balance to the world and peace to the Four Nations named after the four elements. Ringer looks the part, but his acting is so atrociously boring itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder he was omitted from speaking in a majority of the trailers. I hope, on behalf of all moviegoiers, that this is the last Airbender movie and the last time a producer falls for Shyamalanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitch to make a movie. (SR)

=<27<3 (PG-13; 111 min.) This saltwater fairy tale by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Breakfast on Pluto) glistens with beautiful images, none more gorgeous than the opening shot of a solitary fisherman (Colin Farrell) gliding through the Irish coastal fog and drawing up his net to find it contains not only fish but a woman as well. The sight of the lovely Ondine (Alicja Bachleda) curled up a la Klimt in a bed of silver fish is utterly primal.

The fisherman brings her back to life and the neo-fairy-tale mystery quickens. Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart script acquires sharp edges, both in its bone-dry humor and in its refusal to cave in to the sweetness of the story. When a villain shows up, the ensuing crisis is both rough and surprising, but the ending is pure fairy tale.

(CW) >@32/B=@A (R; 106 min.) Adrien Brody,

having spent last summer in the gym, leads a team of elite soldiers in their quest for survival after an alien kidnapping lands them on an Earthlike gaming planet.

90 min.) Michael Douglas plays Ben Kalman, formerly the owner of a successful car dealership. He is a master salesman, but his ethical lapses have ruined his personal relationships and his business. Ben has a chance to make things right by escorting his girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter to a college interview, but due to his usual indiscretions, things are soon falling apart.

B=G AB=@G ! (G; 108 min.) Sit through the pretty ordinary grabber sequence at the beginning of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a frontier adventure with a

runaway trainâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; because once this latest Pixar effort gets started, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfection.

Woody (Tom Hanks), the toy-size avatar of a cinematic centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of action heroes, is the lone skeptic when the rest of the gang is donated to a seemingly wonderful day-care center run by a too-friendly huggy bear (Ned Beatty).

What transpires is a Great Escape parody that is less a joke and more like a captivating (and terrifying) new version of an old myth.

Things get very heavy indeed; these talking walking toys end up on the edge of extinction, which is why the seasoned professionals doing the voice acting add the right note of mortality to this sequel. A stunner, all told, in color, action, humor and serious underpinnings. (RvB) B63 BE7:756B A/5/( 31:7>A3 (PG-

13; 124 min.) Robert Pattinson and Kristen

Stewart keep things looser than usual.

The date of Bellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming vampirical transformation is nigh, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delayed by â&#x20AC;&#x153;newbornsâ&#x20AC;? created by the vengeful Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard). Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to attack the peaceful boring Cullen clan. As Bella is unaccountably beloved by both Edward and Jacob, an uneasy pact is formed of vamps and lycanthropes. David Slade proves that the mark of a former music-video director is that the movie will be sustainable for three or four minutes at a time. Still the climactic battle of good vs. evil looks like a pickup football game in which the players are suddenly devoured by the mascots.

There is a slight improvement this time around because of the humor and action. Still, Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ransacking of a dozen Gothic novels gives one the depressing

feeling of driving by a housing tract named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wuthering Heights.â&#x20AC;?

(RvB) E7<B3@¸A 0=<3

(R; 100 min.) The melodrama-free indie movie Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bone is like a Little Red Riding Hood story in which thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing but wolves. In the outlaw culture of the Ozarks sprawling clans evade the law and deal out their own kind of justice.

Adapted from Daniel Woodrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, Debra Granikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spare, gripping film concerns 17-year-old Ree Dolly (a thoroughly believable Jennifer Lawrence) and her search for a father who has vanished. Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bone stays mysterious, even as it strays close to documentary.

Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own fierceness gives this survival story the kind of immediacy that the summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action movies can only grope at. (RvB)

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of July 7 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): Have you added some bulk and stability to your foundation any time recently, Aries? Have you grown your roots deeper and asked for more from your traditional sources and recommitted yourself to your primal vows? I hope so, because this is a perfect time, astrologically speaking, to strengthen your link to everything that sustains you. You have a sacred duty to push harder for access to the stuff that builds your emotional intelligence and fuels your long-range plans.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): I like the way youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been contradicting yourself, Taurus. I appreciate your ability to be inconsistent, paradoxical, and upsidedown. It has allowed you to wriggle free of the rut you had been stuck in. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stirred the affections of people who had been frustrated about your narrow focus. Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that you have also sown a bit of confusion in a situation that had formerly been clear and concise, and that may have rankled the sticklers. But in my opinion, this is a fertile, healthy confusion that will ultimately lead to an unexpected breakthrough.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sales,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; selling our personalities, our accomplishments, our charms.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quote from Richard Grossingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book 2013. I share his view of human nature.

Is there any interaction between people that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve a bit of hustling? The subtext of every encounter includes at least one of the following: 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want you to like me.â&#x20AC;? 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to get you to believe I am who I say I am.â&#x20AC;? 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like you to see how interesting and important and unique I am.â&#x20AC;?

Given the fact that this is a ubiquitous phenomenon, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to be shy or embarrassed or secretive about it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially true for you these days. So get out there and sell yourself, Gemini. With brazen innocence and relaxed enjoyment, show the world who you are and why you matter.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Have you ever observed the rising moon with such a steady gaze that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually seen it move? Have you ever sat yourself down in front of a rose bud during the hour it exploded into full bloom? Those experiences have resemblances to a slow-motion burst of graceful growth thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfolding in your own sphere. I hope you have the patience to give it your full attention, because that way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more likely to express its potential completely. To enhance your chances of nurturing the subtle magic, remember and ruminate on the images your nightly dreams give you. :3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not necessarily saying that you have superhuman levels of courage these days, Leo, but you do have more than usual. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more important for the task at hand is the fact that you have an exceptional capacity for identifying the fantasies that frighten you and finding fresh and practical ways to deal with them. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I say that you now have an excellent opportunity to achieve a major victory over your fears . . . to outwit them, outf lank them, and even dissolve them. To get started on this glorious quest, chant the following ten times: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a crafty, compassionate warrior who finds amusement in every challenge.â&#x20AC;?

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): One of my Virgo readers, Mariann Grace, is conducting a research project. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rooted in two assumptions. The first is an idea of mine: that everyone alive has an inalienable right to a steady supply of fresh omens. The second assumption comes from the writer Angus Stocking: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always interpret every omen favorably.â&#x20AC;? With these two ideas as her theses, Mariann is testing the following approach: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interpret absolutely everything that happens as a favorable omen.â&#x20AC;? This would be an excellent game for you to play in the coming week, Virgo. Synchronicities are about to rain down upon you, f lood toward you, and bubble up from below.

Judging from the astrological configurations, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say it really does make sense to regard every one of them as meaningful, useful, and invigorating. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high time to banish the excuses you think you have for not doing your best. There is no longer any valid reason to hide from your true calling or deny yourself more profound happiness. You are ready to see that the supposed â&#x20AC;&#x153;obstaclesâ&#x20AC;? to your success are actually instrumental to your successâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;prods that will make you so much smarter and stronger that you cannot be defeated by circumstances. Why is this happening now? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

because a force working behind the scenesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you can imagine it as God or destiny or karma if you likeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is clearing away the illusions that have held you in thrall to false ideas about who you are. If I were you, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d shout â&#x20AC;&#x153;hallelujah!â&#x20AC;? as I pinch myself in the butt and pat myself on the head.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): For the foreseeable future, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine with God (and with Nature, too) if you put all your eggs in one basketâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as long as the basket is well-woven and beautiful to behold.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also got cosmic permission to forget about all but one of the tempting targets in your field of visionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as long as the bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-eye you choose is very worthy of your sacred longing. To sum up, Scorpio, be single-mindedly focused almost to the point of manic obsessionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reasonably sure that the object of your devotion is your personal version of the Holy Grail.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): In the next few weeks, the odds are higher than usual that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll inherit an amusement park or a tropical island or a profitable pig farm. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a slight chance that you will win a Dutch lottery, find a diamond ring on the sidewalk, or be picked to star in a new reality TV show, How Would You Use a Gift of Ten Million Dollars? But whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far more likely than any of those possibilities is that you will be able to capitalize on a legacy whose cash value is hard to estimate. Is there any birthright youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been neglecting to exploit? Any part of your heritage that may be ready to bring you a boost?

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): So it turns out that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;blemishâ&#x20AC;? is actually essential to the beauty.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;deviationâ&#x20AC;? is at the core of the strength. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrong turnâ&#x20AC;? was crucial to you getting you back on the path with heart. I have rarely seen a better example of happy accidents, Capricorn. You may not realize it quite yetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;although I hope this horoscope is bringing it all into focusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but you have been the beneficiary of a tricky form of divine intervention.

One good way of expressing your gratitude is to share with friends the tale of how you came to see that the imperfections were perfect.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Your anger is potentially a valuable resource. At least in theory, it can be a motivating force that gives you the clarity and stamina you need to make constructive changes.

But how can you make sure that your anger serves your generous urges? What should you do to keep it from being just a self-indulgent thrash that leads to no productive action? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing you can do: Express your rage very selectively; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it leak all over everything. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another thing: Cultivate loads of empathy, joy, and appreciation for beauty. Then when you do unleash your rage, it will be conditioned by love. Now would be an excellent time to try out these ideas. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): Have you fallen in omnidirectional love these past few weeks? Are you swooning with such reckless splendor that at times you feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re swimming in midair? By my reckoning, you have an urgent need to be caught up in a vortex of free-form affection. Your receptivity to being tickled and spun around by an almost insane outpouring of libidinous empathy is crucial to your education. If for some reason this has not been the case, please find out what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing to obstruct the boisterously tender feelings the cosmos is aching to fill you up with.
