TNR’S (FAKE) GUIDE TO SURVIVING HURRICANE SANDY Remember, most hurricanes are all talk. They get a beer in them and they run their mouth.

Don’t be afraid to call them out, but be prepared to throw down.

Even if you know how to surf, let’s just take a moment to remember that floodwaters from the Ohio River are, well, from the Ohio River. If you’re not from ’round these parts, stay away from the water. Seriously.

If this truly does prove to be the precursor to the apocalypse (be it zombie or not), just remember you have friends at 509 Swift Hall. While we may not be Doomsday Prepper-caliber ready, we do have a mini-fridge and a microwave and a coffee machine.

LIFE & ARTS

FLIGHT Director Robert Zemeckis talks to The News Record about his latest film, “Flight” keith bierygolick | managing editor It takes airline pilot William Whitaker (Denzel Washington) a line of cocaine to make it in to work in the morning — and once his plane takes off, Whitaker needs a swig of orange juice spiked with vodka to level out.

“It’s always good to get that family film stink off of you,” said director Robert Zemeckis, whose film “Flight” opens Nov. 2.

Zemeckis spent the last 12 years making splashy, effects-driven films (“Beowulf,”“The Polar Express” and “A Christmas Carol”). “Flight” sees the director return to the adult drama of past films such as “Cast Away” and “Forest Gump.”

“I think that ultimately a good movie has, at its core, a compelling character that the audience is identifying with and is rooting for,” Zemeckis said. “Whether that’s a cautionary tale or a heroic tale, that’s what I think, at a core, a good movie has to have.”

But no matter how compelling a character is on the written page, it takes a skilled actor to bring it to life.

“Flight” has Denzel Washington, an actor Zemeckis claimed was his first and only choice to star in the film.

“He is pretty much one of the best actors who is alive today in the world,” Zemeckis said. “I just felt that he was an actor who brought all the sort of power and the

“Movies are movies. The only difference between making a live action movie and a digital movie is that you’re bending light through a lens. Everything else is the same.”

— Robert Zemeckis, director of Flight

ability to reach down into his most inner self to pull this performance off.”

Washington’s character becomes a hero when he safely crash-lands his plane after a malfunction causes it to spiral toward the ground.

Whitaker saved nearly all of 102 passengers on board with his quick thinking in the air, but an investigation reveals he had alcohol and cocaine in his system during the crash.

Needless to say, Whitaker is far from an all-American hero.

“Most people are imperfect,” Zemeckis said. “And I think that I’m drawn to those characters because those characters lend themselves to the most drama — and we can all relate to them because everyone’s imperfect.”

Despite the film’s focus on Whitaker’s addiction and flaws as a human being, the special effects which have dominated so many of Zemeckis’ films (“Back to the Future” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”) still find a way into the human drama of “Flight.”

“I think that’s part of the spectacle of filmmaking,” Zemeckis said. “Hopefully they’re not effects for effects sake, but they lend texture and power to the story.”

Although “Flight” uses more practical effects than the motion capture “A Christmas Carol,” Zemeckis didn’t change the way he approached the film.

“Movies are movies,” Zemeckis said. “The only

difference between making a live action movie and a digital movie is that you’re bending light through a lens.

Everything else is the same.”

The only part of his process that changed was the amount of research he did.

“I, myself, am an instrument rated pilot, so I’m familiar with a lot of it,” Zemeckis said. “We spoke to people at the airlines. We spoke to people at the National Transportation Safety Board, and we studied many aircraft accidents — incidents … I think if you are familiar at all with the world of aviation, you will find that everything in the flying parts of the movie are very accurately depicted.”

Research for the director also meant studying other films, “just to see if I could steal any tricks or see things that.”

“I watched a bunch of films that had plane crashes in them,” Zemeckis said, noting any scene that involved a plane being inverted. “There was one movie where they just kind of mussed everybody’s hair up and turned the camera upside-down. And I thought, you know, that’s not going to work … You learn a lot of things to do and you learn a lot of things not to do, so it’s always important to watch other movies.”

With temperatures cooling down and Oscar season heating up, “Flight” is a film everyone should see before it soars out of theaters.
