ou know that old saying that truth is BY NATHAN POPPE stranger than fiction? LOOKATOKC EDITOR “Foxcatcher” fits nicely under that NPOPPE@OPUBCO.COM umbrella. Flip on over to Adam Kemp’s cover story to see how John du Pont’s enthusiasm for wrestling dipped into madness when he murdered Dave Schultz in cold blood and ruined the career of Mark Schultz. Both brothers wrestled at OU and the family still has a deep connection with the school. I sadly wasn’t able to make a screening of the film on OU’s campus in November 2014 but members of the Schultz family and current OU athletes were invited to view the Oscarworthy film. I’ve still yet to see it, but I’m hoping to catch it when it hits theaters. Not only because of the Oklahoma connection but also to see how “Foxcatcher” handles telling such a bizarre and unsettling tale. A special thanks to Adam for reaching out to Mark Schultz, executive director of Stillwater’s National Wrestling Hall Of Fame Lee Roy Smith and Oklahoma State’s head wrestling coach John Smith. We’re off to a serious start in 2015, but we’ve got plenty of levity in this issue. Our latest Drink & Draw is especially goofy. Congratulations to the drawing crew for getting invited to host its sketchy event at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Pretty fancy. I wouldn’t mind seeing their doodles on the walls of the museum. Also, the story of Jim Watkins is an admirable portrait of what happens when neighbors stop acting like strangers and more like a community. Watkins needed a hand and then got a full idea of the “Oklahoma Standard.” Kudos to Juliana Keeping for following up on the story and keeping in touch with Watkins and his neighbors. Expect plenty of more interesting stories in this issue and the rest of 2015.

Four eclectic indie releases to watch for in 2015
H
appy 2015 everybody! There isn’t a whole lot to write about yet! January’s always been a downtime for new music releases so let’s look ahead and see what’s on the slate for release here in the next couple of months. Rae Sremmurd — “SremmLife” (out now on EarDrummers Entertainment and Interscope Records) Overcoming one of the worst names in the music industry’s recent memory — it’s “Ear Drummers” backward, and I practically strained a muscle in my tongue trying to pronounce it — Rae Sremmurd are hip-hop’s shiniest toy since fellow southerners Migos showed up popping triple syllables by the dozen. But Swae Lee and Slim Jimmy are far from Migos clones. They’ve definitely established a unique style, pairing with Mike Will Made It’s narcotized neon trap productions as naturally as DJ Mustard works with YG. But you probably already knew that from Sremmurd’s catchy debut singles “No Flex Zone” and “No Type.” Nothing on “SremmLife” ’s gonna climb any charts as high as those, but it’s all pretty stylish and catchy (save for the regrettably bad EDM finisher “Safe Sex Pays Checks”), excellent pop fodder for choreographed dance routines and the club. Best of all, Swae and Jimmy rap, shout, growl and groan with all the confidence of a heady, cocksure youth: “They knowwwwwww bett-ah.”

Creature I Don’t Know,” which mixed ancient mythology with a love for John Steinbeck. Here in the new single “Short Movie” from her forthcoming record of the same name, I hear more instruments in the mix than I’ve ever heard on one of her songs, as well as an intensity in her voice that’s almost kind of scary. By the end of the song, Marling sounds to be abusing an acoustic guitar as she vows not to take things slow. It seems to me that Laura Marling is determined to live beyond all else, a life without regrets, and if she can channel the sound of that into a whole record like she does with this song then I’m totally onboard.

good run of long-dormant volcanos suddenly erupting. This year we can expect the same from a pair of northwestern rock bands that formed in the ‘90s: SleaterKinney and Modest Mouse. Early single “Lampshades on Fire” should come as really good news to anybody who loved Modest Mouse. It’s scratchy, ramshackle, loud and unrelenting and even though it’s been nearly eight years since putting out a record, Isaac Brock still definitely sounds like he’s perpetually five seconds away from bursting a lung. Laura Marling — “Short Movie” (out March 24 on Ribbon Music) As she gets older — and she’s still just 24 — Laura Marling’s brand of folk music just gets more and more interesting. The UK native has been putting out records since the age of 16 — my favorite so far being 2011’s “A
Dan Deacon — “Gliss Riffer” (out Feb. 24 on Domino Recording Company) For my money, Dan Deacon is one of the most provocative and thoughtful electronic musicians that this country has to offer. His last record, 2012’s pointedly titled “America,” was one of that year’s two or three best, evoking the country’s landscape while also challenging traditional, Manifest Destiny-type beliefs in land ownership. And while “America” was said to have been inspired by a days-long, cross-country train ride where Deacon took in a lot of gorgeous natural scenery, new single “Feel the Lightning” is much slower and stocked with funky cultural allusions, more like one of his earlier albums, the excellently titled “Spiderman of the Rings.” If “Feel the Lightning”’s any indicator, his latest, “Gliss Riffer” ought to be cartoonish and silly, with Deacon himself singing the higher-pitched bits and synthesizers that sound so big and fuzzy that you can practically reach out and grasp them in your hand.

elcome to the latest edition of our collaboration with Drink & Draw, the event that invites doodlers of all skill levels to gather on a weekly basis in Oklahoma City. In case you’re new to the party, here’s the rundown. Every Thursday night from 8 to 11, Drink & Draw is hosted at any of three locations in the metro. On the third and fourth Thursday of the month, the event is held at Tree & Leaf Clothing. And that’s where you’ll encounter the Drink & Draw Challenge. A random theme is selected, you’re kindly requested to draw on specially designed Drink & Draw paper and then the results are published once a month in LOOKatOKC. Our theme this month was a kind monster exercising in Toontown. A special congratulations to the Drink & Draw crew as they are being hosted Jan. 15 at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. In conjunction with the exhibition “My Generation: Young Chinese Artists,” the OKCMOA is providing a creative celebration by gathering local artists and art lovers for a night of sketching, film and fun. Drink & Draw will be set up for those who wish to join them in sketching. It’s been a pleasure to see new faces join the festivities, and I hope to see more. The intentions of the event are more than simple. It’s an excuse to show off the talented artists in our city and invite anyone with a hint of artistic aspiration to join the fun. Again, Drink & Draw is an invitation to an open dialogue in the art community. One story wouldn’t do this event justice. Instead we are making this a monthly celebration of all things awesome. Pens, pencils and markers of all shapes and sizes are welcome. It’s just another reason to LOOKatOKC. The proof is sitting right in front of you.

find in various aisles at Whole Foods? He chose which ones they sold. Before that, he was a member of the Peace Corps. Now, he’s the owner and sole employee at Maverick OKC, a new clothing store focused on American made apparel offering vintage and handmade goods in the Plaza District. It’s located at 1609 N Blackwelder Ave. He carries brands from Portland, upstate New York and even Shawnee. “That is the whole ethos of what we’re doing now,” Baker said. “It’s kind of inspired by classic American workers.” Baker focuses on American-made items because he sees its effect on the economy. “Every dollar spent on American-made goods, $1.40 will go back into the local economy where those goods are made,” Baker said. “Oklahoma people really value that.” He also noticed potential in the Plaza District, an area growing with new businesses including the recently opened beer paradise Oak & Ore and the upcoming Roxy’s Ice Cream Social storefront. “I saw a need for it,” Baker said. “OKC is really awesome, a lot of stores are popping up and I think the community is really supporting that. They’re looking for something really different.” Baker has his sights set on gaining momentum in his home state after having just moved back in August.
Right now he only carries denim by Round House, a manufacturer based out of Shawnee. “Apparel industry isn’t huge in OKC so we’re looking for those brands and looking for designers to do prints,” he said. When he’s not running his own shop, he’s hanging out nearby in the Plaza District whether it’s with his buddies at The Mule or grabbing a slice of pizza at Empire Slice House. “It allows you to get to know other retailers,” he said.

‘JIM WATKINS’

Offers continue to help Oklahoma City man in need

A
n Oklahoma City man who lived without water in his home for four years continues to reap the benefits of a campaign launched to help him. For the last four years, Jim Watkins, 61, would fill between 75 and 100 half-gallon jugs at outdoor taps of his Mesta Park neighbors who were willing to help out. Sam Stalcup, 36, who lives across the street from Watkins, said he never wanted to ask his neighbor too many questions, but learned that a broken water line leading to Watkins’s house left him with a bill to the city he could not afford to pay. Stalcup began an online fundraising campaign that he publicized on a neighborhood social media site. After raising more than $2,600, Stalcup paid Watkins’ bill and the city restored water to his home in late November. “Just got the water back on. This is very exciting and really fantastic! It is a great surprise,” Watkins wrote in a message posted on the GoFundMe
LOOKATOKC.COM
page. “Thanks, sincerely with deepest appreciation and gratitude to one and all of you wonderful people for your help. It really means a lot to me.” Oklahomans who saw a Thanksgiving Day news story in the paper, online or on social media continue to help Watkins with donations of cash and offers to assist with home repair and medical care. The online fund-raising campaign raised an additional $500, Stalcup said. Zach Punnett, the 34-year-old owner of Punnett Construction, wants to help Watkins with structural issues on the home, built in 1910 and now possessing a roof in need of repair. Punnett came just to see the roof, but offered to help with more improvements. “I just can’t do the roof and walk away knowing it needs that much more work,” Punnett said. “If I can get some people to help with labor as well as financially, we’re going to fix it up to where the outside of the house is back in good condition.” Before the city turned his water back on, Watkins,
who suffers from health problems and is unable to work, would load a cart with between 75 and 100 halfgallon plastic jugs, walk up the block, fill them, and then take them back home, where he used the water to cook, clean and drink. The process took him several hours at great strain and was especially difficult in the colder months. Watkins used to work odd jobs to get by. About seven years ago, he was walking home after helping a neighbor trim a tree after an ice storm when he tripped on an icy branch on the sidewalk, he said. The resulting puncture wounds have festered for years. His one close companion since the accident has been pain. He dresses his own wounds and tries to keep them clean. It takes him hours to put on his shoes, he said. Even after getting up to shave or eat, he has to elevate his legs. The pain eases at night, but he doesn’t sleep well. Chris Green, a podiatry surgeon with OKC Orthopedic Sports & Pain Management, has volunteered to help Watkins. “I’m here to help him,” said Green, 37. “I see people all the time who need different things. Any time I have the opportunity to help somebody, I really try to do that.” — Juliana Keeping, for LOOKatOKC

‘UPTOWN PARKING WOES’

T
he string of empty store fronts at 421 NW 23 is once again being targeted for conversion into a large venue, but instead of a music site with alcohol sales, the latest deal could turn the property into a church. Neighbors protested the prior plan to convert the property immediately east of Tower Theater into a music hall, noting the business would have no parking and that patrons could end up parking

on nearby residential streets. The latest deal for a 223-seat church likely will not renew fears of intoxicated patrons wandering into neighborhoods late at night. But other ramifications are quietly being discussed behind the scenes along the increasingly popular Uptown 23rd Street corridor. Tim Mannin, pastor at OKC Community Church, and the owners of the Tower Theater were not agreeable to doing interviews on the church’s pending purchase of the property. But the church’s opening would, by state law, prevent any new bars or venues (like Grandad’s nearby) from obtaining an ABC-3 alcohol zoning within 300 feet of 421 NW 23. For Ian McDermid, owner of the recently opened Pump Bar, and Greg Seal, owner of Grandad’s, such a zoning complication could dampen their dreams of turning Uptown into an Oklahoma City version of Austin’s Congress Avenue. And while the new owners of the Tower Theater aren’t commenting about the risk associated with the zoning, their redevelopment plans also could be impacted. In an email, Mannin promised his congregation
wants to keep its presence along NW 23 “positive” and not prompt a limit on area development. David Wanzer, co-owner of the Tower Theater, released a statement confirming that he and his partners are aware of the church’s plans, and that despite an application filed with the city, the church does not have permission to use a parking lot attached to the theater on the south side of the street. A call to a representative of the Uptown Association, meanwhile, indicates the organization had little information about the church, which is currently meeting at the Civic Center Music Hall. The idea of a church wanting to buy the long-dormant storefronts and be a part of the revival of Uptown is yet another sign that NW 23 is on its way to becoming another urban core success story. But with historic neighborhoods to the north and south, scarce parking and potential conflicts in zoning, more growing pains may soon be set for Uptown. — Steve Lackmeyer, for LOOKatOKC

TAYLOR SWIFT, ‘1989’
I
’ll admit it, I’m a music snob who didn’t even think about giving Taylor Swift’s “1989” the time of day. Late afternoons combing Guestroom records for Pulp reissues or that random Wild Beasts masterpiece is more up my alley. But what kind of reviewer would I be if, from time to time, I didn’t remove myself from my comfortable waters of noseturned-up music listening and dip my toes ever so tenderly into the jaws of the pop behemoth? First up is the anthem “Welcome to New York,” in all of its cheesy, fist-pumping glory. The synth and key work is actually entertaining and, honestly, pretty great. However, it’s hard to get behind lyrically, seeing as how I just can’t believe any of this comes from personal experience, written by her or otherwise. Taking it literally, it could be easy to pick apart, but that’s not what pop music is about. It’s about satisfaction and escapism. “Style” immediately caught my attention, as it has flashes of Chromatics and College, both given time in the sun with the “Drive” soundtrack.
LOOKATOKC.COM
When I arrived at “Shake It Off” I was completely ready to write it off, but something about that chorus is absolutely infectious. I found myself humming it while out with friends, only to cut myself off abruptly with my eyes darting around the table to make sure no one heard me. “Bad Blood” has that beat that’s omnipresent and gargantuan at every turn, yet lacks the bite and growl to really shine in the presence of the pop pomp that surrounds it. In the hands of a band like Sleigh Bells, “Bad Blood” could be potentially deadly. “This Love” actually reeks of Chromatics in a great way in places, and “I Know Places,” for being the penultimate track, only clocking in at three minutes and change, does a great job trimming the fat and being big in all the places that count. With her grand entrance into pop music with “1989,” Swift makes a big argument for her longevity in the global spotlight. The record is razor sharp, expertly executed and admittedly fairly fun. I was surprised when I browsed through the notes on iTunes that she actually mentions her writing and

KASABIAN, ‘48:13’
O
ften thought of as the British band that should’ve stampeded throughout America instead of Muse, Kasabian is the epitome of a polished and sneering rock band. Yet, most people in America don’t realize they’ve probably heard the Leicester, England, heroes multiple times. Not only has Kasabian amassed a hearty back catalog of blood-boiling rock but the band has crafted a live show that makes these great records sound even better. Although Kasabian sells out arenas in its native country and headlines festivals such as Glastonbury and Reading, rarely does America call its name. In 2006, on the release of its eponymous debut, Kasabian played Cain’s Ballroom to a crowd of maybe 500 lucky souls who bore witness to the pure might and energy Kasabian brings to the stage every time it plays. With “48:13,” Kasabian reaches pulls from the collective power of previous releases to craft an album that’s addicting, adventurous and further proof that its superstardom in its home country is more than warranted and that the band is overdue to break out stateside. Kasabian employs a tactic with “48:13” that started on its debut, which is the use of transitional tracks between certain songs. Though some may see it as fluff, it’s a great way for the band to flex a little experimental muscle as well as bring to light a fact often lost in the plot when crafting a great record: Sequencing and transitions between songs matter. That being said, the transition of opening track “(Shiva)” into “Bumblebeee” could be considered one of the best one-two punches of 2014. In the case of “Bumblebeee,” Kasabian is glinting its teeth in a way only this band can. True rock and roll anthems are rare, but “Bumblebeee” shines in the work of guitarist Sergio Pizzorno’s untouchable hook. “Doomsday” would sound at home on Beck’s 2008 record “Modern Guilt,” all mod love on full display with bouncy drums and zigzagging guitars. Perhaps the track that shines the brightest is “Treat,” which borrows from Oasis and The Crystal Method. Singer and best frontman of the last decade Tom Meighan does wonders on this track by taking simple melodies and stretching them to the point where they’re indulgent to fans obsessed with lyrical depth yet satisfy the first-time listener in the way they dig into your brain and don’t let go. “Explodes” sees the band tinkering in the studio, playing with arpeggiated synths and drum machines to great effect, the way that set it apart from the second big wave of British bands in the mid-2000s. Kasabian can take a track like “Clouds,” a late-playing neo hippie anthem, and find ways to twist and tangle it with the band’s signature sound to breathe life into an outplayed genre or styling. It’s time for the United States to wake up. We think we’re too cool for Kasabian, but Kasabian is too cool for us. “48:13” is proof, regardless of whether you give it a chance. No more hitting the snooze button on this brilliant British band. — Kellen McGugan, entertainment writer

D’ANGELO AND THE VANGUARD, ‘BLACK MESSIAH’
album review
D'Angelo has just released his first album in 15 years, “Black Messiah."
I
f there is any musician aware of how he is perceived, it’s D’Angelo. After releasing “Voodoo” in 2000 and unwillingly becoming a sex symbol, he willingly stepped away from the limelight, feeling that his music was being overshadowed. Originally planned for a 2015 release, “Black Messiah” was suddenly available online digitally in the middle of December. The impetus for the hasty release was the verdict in Ferguson, Missouri. D’Angelo had something to say about America’s recent racial strains, and that something is “Black Messiah.” It is one of the most powerful pieces of music I’ve heard all year and likely will hear for some time. D’Angelo has taken wise steps to ensure his music is the focus and not him. His signature voice is still hitting high notes like nobody else, but it’s no longer the focal point. The funky, mathematically perfected timing of the musicians making up The Vanguard steals the show throughout the record. D’Angelo is again joined by bassist Pino Palladino, whose slap
LOOKATOKC.COM
bass might as well be the lead vocals on “1000 Deaths.” The drumming is largely credited to one of the world’s best-known drummers, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson. With the help of many other session musicians, D’Angelo has crafted an all-star roster that sounds like it was recorded with everyone in the same room. The thought I keep coming back to is that “Black Messiah” sounds like what would happen if Prince made a record as good as his output in the 1980s in this current century. But that doesn’t do “Black Messiah” justice. It’s heavy, dense, and even though it feels 10 years overdue, it’s timely. I’ve never considered myself a huge D’Angelo fan, but listening to “Black Messiah” made me instantly understand why his fans have been waiting with bated breath for this follow-up to “Voodoo.” By ignoring current popular music and creating this soulful masterpiece, D’Angelo is giving the world what it needs: sincerity, love and the power to stay strong in an overwhelming world.

ARCA, ‘XEN’
I
t’s easy to not think about the future, especially concerning music. The familiar can be comforting and easier to process. The unknown can be confounding and difficult. Alejandro Ghersi, better known as Arca, is not afraid of the future. In fact, he’s been defining the future for a few years now. Kanye West chose Arca to help inject four tracks on 2013’s “Yeezus” with an uneasiness that helped define that entire album. Earlier this year, Arca helped budding new artist FKA twigs further distinguish herself as one of music’s unique voices. Now, the man behind many of those artist’s best tracks is putting his own music front and center. Arca’s debut full-length “Xen” is a quick but engaging listen that is much more than a typical producer’s instrumental album. With the absence of vocals, Arca’s technological vision for his music snaps into vivid, widescreen detail. Opener “Now You Know” drifts in slowly while teasing the listener with single bass drops and a skittering beat that sounds like a large machine is being wound into gear. The album’s title track teeters back and forth from a skittering, rapid-fire synth screech and a bouncing beat that gains in tempo as the various sounds surrounding it come together in a climactic, metallic cymbal rush. “Xen” continues to be all over the place, constantly celebrating Arca’s knack for experimentation. It makes for an uneasy listen at first, but it’s Arca’s dedication to discovering new sounds and rhythms that will have listeners diving in deeper to relish this album’s subtleties. For all it risks, album highlight “Thievery” succeeds by being one of the few tracks that finds a beat and rides it out through its brief run time. It’s a strikingly danceable track that’s either an album detour, or yet another hint of where Arca will take his music next. Even though “Xen” was released late in 2014, the name Arca is one to know moving into 2015. — Beau Blackstock, entertainment writer

Paul Benjaman thrives with a New Tulsa Sound resurgence
M
aybe it’s a resurgence of the Tulsa Sound, or maybe it’s just a resurgence of people talking about it, but there’s something about Tulsa’s current roots music scene that seems poised to boil over. Longtime Tulsa musicians have paid their dues, and people are taking notice. Tulsa-born Paul Benjaman is at the heart of this, with a well-respected residency at The Colony and a recent stint, along with friend and sometimes-drummer Patrick Ryan, touring with and performing on “The Tonight Show” with The Secret Sisters. Q: Are you a native Tulsan? Have you lived anywhere else? Paul Benjaman: I was born in Tulsa and raised in Inola, about 20 minutes outside Tulsa, on a 10-acre farm. I made the “13-year club” (attended K-12) in the Inola school annual. My jobs in high school were in Tulsa. After a shot at college, living in Tahlequah for a while, I moved inside city limits. Q: Tell me about your “Sunday Nite Thing,” your Colony residency. Benjaman: The concept started with me getting together with a rhythm section that at the time wasn’t my regular band lineup, and each Sunday, we would have a “special guest” musician sitting in for the whole night. The guests range from local favorites to national touring musicians — basically whoever I can wrangle into it. There’s no rehearsal, so the guest is informed on the song structure right before we kick it off. When they reach the realization that they get to play whatever they want on the song for as long as they want, there’s always lightning bolts to surprise band and audience. The set sticks close to songs I’ve written and favorite songs from other Oklahoma songwriters, and the gig has stayed fresh for over three years now. Q: When people talk about you, they always talk about the Tulsa Sound. I think you’re one of the artists in the state who is truer to that original sound than maybe anyone else around here right now. When did you first become aware it? Benjaman: I had always heard about it, but not until I was in my 30s did I get a JJ Cale record, and that was a life-changing moment. Then began this ongoing investigation where I’m discovering all these great songs that have been around my life had Tulsa musicians playing on the records.
Q: So it wasn’t in your mind as you were learning to write songs and play guitar? Benjaman: Ha ha, no. I wasn’t even singing for a band until then. I was a mess! I had studied and played guitar in about every style of gig you can imagine. When Junior Brown taught me when I was 13, he got me into blues, surf music, honky-tonk and

Jimi Hendrix. That warped me for good, and I’ve careened through every style of American music since then. It was the Cale records that finally gave me a sense of direction. They provided a framework that in some way could cook all of the places I’ve been into one stew and a style of vocals that seemed natural to me. Q: Is that legacy something you feel inclined or obligated to carry on? Benjaman: Definitely yes and no. On one hand, it’s important to spend a lot of time digging into the recordings and working out the rhythms in the songs. The rhythm is the most important thing, by the way — you’ve got to have a good rhythm section or this music won’t work. And it’s been great to hang out and play with the musicians who were in Cale’s band and have their blessing that I’m doing it right. But the first thing those guys will tell you is that JJ rarely played a song the same way twice, and his lineup even on his records varied from song to song, which is one of the reasons why the Tulsa Sound is so hard to pin down. I’ll get in the middle of a song and think, “What would Miles Davis playing Hendrix’s guitar sound like here?” and then it gets way too loud and psychedelic. That can tick off some purists, but my heart’s not engaged in creating a museum piece. Most of the real-deal players are cool with that
and have fun going there with me, and if I’m not pushing an edge, I don’t feel like an artist. Q: You did a summer tour playing with the Secret Sisters. How’d that happen? Benjaman: Patrick Ryan, who’s been drumming for my Sunday Nite Thing, had been playing drums for the Sisters, and Jesse Aycock was playing guitar and lap steel for them. Jesse joined the Hard Working Americans, so the Sisters hired me sight unseen based on Jesse and Paddy’s good word. Q: What was it like, playing with at least one musician you know, but in different venues/in front of different crowds? Benjaman: There’s nothing better than to be able to share a voyage like that with a great friend and total pro like Patrick. I’d never been to New York, and this year I went three times, with a “Tonight Show” performance included. Q: You said a few months ago that you’re working on a new full band record. Where are you in that process? Benjaman: It’s in its final stages of overdubs and mixing. Look for it in the spring. - Becky Carman, entertainment writer

Inherently weird new film from ‘Master’ filmmaker
I
nherent Vice” descends from a lineage of films that don’t care about you having a conventional movie-going experience. I feel like director Paul Thomas Anderson (“There Will Be Blood,” “Boogie Nights”) added that to his calling card in 2012’s “The Master,” a blunt, mysterious meditation about a religious cult that featured Philip Seymour Hoffman in his last truly great performance and a devilish Joaquin Phoenix who enjoyed cocktails with a splash of paint thinner. Anderson’s seventh film establishes its intentions early as we’re introduced to Larry “Doc” Sportello (Phoenix). He’s a detective based in 1970 Los Angeles who’s initially tasked with finding his disappeared ex-girlfriend. He’s better at finding pot, zany acquaintances and confusion as he tackles count-

less side quests and dead ends. The film’s linguistically spry narration is a constant reminder of that. Phoenix aptly plays the burnt out detective as he meanders his way through a plot that tends to raise more questions than answers. His misadventures are equal parts funny and frustrating. But the more I hoped for clarity, the more “Inherent Vice” seemed to enjoy slamming on the brakes and taking a sharp left turn into harsh and unforeseen circumstances. This movie is like a dry, re-telling of a mystery case told backward with a fireworks show randomly interspersed throughout. And the sparks that burn brightest are Phoenix and his manic energy, Josh Brolin’s heavy-handed antics as the chiseled detective Christian F. “Bigfoot” Bjornsen and Martin Short’s doofy turn as Dr. Rudy
Blatnoyd. I can imagine writer Thomas Pynchon just had a blast and a half naming these characters in his novel from which the film is adapted. But none of these characters or their scenes are interested in connecting in a traditional fashion. Things somehow get tidied up in the end but unless you have the patience of a saint you’ll probably want to check out about half an hour into this film.“Inherent Vice” knows it’s a mess and proudly allows its kooky cast of characters to act as wild or weird as possible. To me, the head scratching overshadows any lasting greatness. Anderson keenly controls his cool, weird world but it’s up to you to see how long you’d like to stay. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor

All talk, ‘The Interview’ hype doesn’t hold up
A
s I dished out $6 to watch a stream of “The Interview,” I was reminded of the experience of an actual interview. The ones I do on the daily. For this film, I did my research. I tried to filter out an exceptional amount of hype. I set time aside, especially for my subject. I was ready for “The Interview” like too much ham and a stomach ache on Christmas. And then the movie opened its mouth. “The Interview” is nothing special. The on-again and off-again theatrical release debacle was exceptional news but here’s a movie with a shocking premise that simply unfolds into a bromantic comedy of international proportions.
LOOKATOKC.COM
As if you haven’t already heard, the film follows producer Aaron Rapaport (Seth Rogen) and doofy TV host Dave Skylark (James Franco) as they attempt to conceal their assassination plot on Kim Jong-un (Randall Park) in the form of an exclusive interview in North Korea. What follows are antics that were exhausted in “Pineapple Express” and in any other number of brainier Judd Apatow productions. If you want to see this because you think someone told you that you couldn’t, then please manage your expectations accordingly for this comedy. And I’m being generous when I say comedy. Half of the jokes in “The Interview” stick and the other half plop directly into the toilet. It’s shame-
less, goofy, loud and doesn’t care how shameless, goofy and loud it is. Kind of like the Katy Perry track it so lovingly features. I might sound exceptionally harsh, but the hype that “The Interview” received shouldn’t get to turn it into something it’s not. And it’s stupid. So very stupid and borderline lazy. That’s coming from a year where I saw “Dumb and Dumber To” and “A Million Ways To Die in the West.” I don’t hate “The Interview,” but I can’t help but think it fell a little short of past Rogen/Franco collaborations. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC Editor

‘Big Eyes’ offers look into ’60s-era crime story
T
he subject is art fraud, which might indicate some potential for a story dark and sinister, especially considering who’s sitting in the director’s chair. But compared to his past pitch-black comedy, horror and comic book-based works — such as “Beetlejuice,” the Michael Keaton “Batman” movies, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” and “Frankenweenie” — Tim Burton’s latest offering, “Big Eyes,” is sweetness and sunshine. Why, it almost plays like a normal, lightly comedic biopic. Almost. Not only can truth be stranger than fiction, it can be even weirder than your typical Burton film, in a sad and disturbing sort of way. “Big Eyes” is the true story (as told in an excellent, shadily whimsical original screenplay by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski) of Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), an under-talented wannabe painter who achieved huge success in the commercial pop-art world of the late 1950s and early 1960s by taking credit for the haunting paintings of waifs with big, sad, doe eyes that were actually painted by his wife, Margaret (Amy Adams).
Page 22

He mass-produced posters and prints of the paintings, which were sold in five-and-dime, hardware and furniture stores, even gas stations, and he became a regular guest on TV talk shows and at big-time celebrity parties, where he declared himself as big a talent as Andy Warhol. He got away with it, and his sweet-natured wife allowed him to continue signing his name to her work and letting him ride his undeserved wave of success — for a time. It’s the kind of story that would appeal to a twisted mind such as Burton’s, as he recognized the subtle, smiling, beguiling, con-artist evil of a man such as Walter — captured perfectly by Waltz, who was so creepily charming as the Nazi officer in Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds,” and the bounty hunter in Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” in the same way. And then there is Adams, so great in her Oscarnominated role as the young nun in “Doubt” and her memorable turn as a con artist in “American Hustle,” completely convincing as the naive, vulnerable young mother and highly talented artist Margaret Keane, so ripe for fleecing by a guy like her
conscienceless husband Walter, in a time when female artists still weren’t taken as seriously as the males. What’s great to watch in “Big Eyes” is what happens when Margaret’s own eyes are opened wide, her husband actually threatens to have her “whacked” if she exposes him, and a showdown between Margaret and Walter takes place in open court when the judge orders a paint-off between the two. People unfamiliar with this story will be transfixed, as will those who know the outcome, because Burton makes the whole thing as fascinating and haunting as the images of those big-eyed children in the Keane paintings. “Big Eyes” — thanks to the perfectly nuanced performances of Adams and Waltz, and Burton’s uncharacteristically restrained and conventional touch — is, indeed, really keen, and a unique movie-going experience that brings back to life a fairly recent period in America’s cultural existence that many of us still remember. — Gene Triplett, entertainment writer

Disney musical branches out with mixed results
T
he long-awaited screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s musical “Into the Woods” has its moments, but unfortunately, plain ones outnumber the grand in the often-plodding fairytale mashup. With Rob Marshall, the Oscar-winning director of the stage-to-screen hit “Chicago,” helming and an all-star cast including Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt, Johnny Depp and Chris Pine singing and emoting, I had high hopes, even if these adaptations are notoriously tricky. But it seems that some of the nuances of “Into the Woods” are lost in this translation to the big screen, despite James Lapine, who wrote the musical’s book, penning the screenplay. Although I’ve never seen a stage production of “Into the Woods,” I’m familiar enough with Sondheim’s style — his “Sweeney Todd” is my favorite musical — to know that the satirical edges and emotional gut punches that are hallmarks of his storytelling barely make themselves felt in the film. With Walt Disney Pictures holding the purse strings and Sondheim diehards ready to protest every cut and change, it’s no wonder “Into the Woods” is too watered-down to truly work as a grown-up fairy tale about life’s propensity for moral dilemmas but too fraught with adult moments for parents to feel completely comfortable seeing it with youngsters.
LOOKATOKC.COM
“Into the Woods” mashes together several Brothers Grimm stories, including “Cinderella,” “Rapunzel,” “Red Riding Hood” and “Jack and the Beanstalk,” along with the central tale about a childless baker (Tony winner James Corden) and his wife (Blunt). The story comes jam-packed with two princesses, two princes and two giants, plus a plethora of baddies, so just maintaining the roster of characters is a challenge. Unfortunately, Marshall doesn’t demonstrate the nimbleness to effectively juggle the overlapping plot lines, and without an intermission, the second act’s abrupt change in tone from fantastical to more realistic is jarring. When the baker and his wife learn that the curse of a vengeful witch (Streep) prevents them from having a baby, they head into the woods to collect the items she claims are needed to lift the spell: a cow white as milk, a cape red as blood, a lock of hair yellow as corn and a slipper pure as gold. Desperate to go to the king’s festival despite the malicious machinations of her wicked stepmother (the excellent Christine Baranski) and stepsisters (Tammy Blanchard and Lucy Punch), Cinderella (Kendrick) ventures into the woods to visit the grave of her mother, whose spirit is able to outfit her in a golden gown perfect for the celebration. Keen to visit her ill grandmother, Red Riding
Hood (Lilla Crawford) ventures into the woods but is pursued by the sleazy Mr. Wolf (Depp). Nagged by his harried mother (Tracey Ullman), young Jack (Daniel Huttlestone) reluctantly leads his pet cow into the woods to sell it at market on the other side; he trades the cow for five magic beans and accidentally plants a pivotal beanstalk. Because it’s a musical, the entangled fates of these characters, plus Rapunzel (Mackenzie Mauzy) and two handsome princely brothers (Pine and Tony nominee Billy Magnussen), are played out in song, and the singing, like the acting, is solid. Pine and Magnussen steal the show with their hilarious duet “Agony,” about falling in love with unobtainable ladies. At a disadvantage as a storyteller, Marshall attempts to maximize his greatest advantage as a filmmaker: special effects. He plays up the action and the spectacle, keeping my 8-year-old son entertained for much of the two-hour-plus runtime. But even fancy computer-generated imagery can’t rescue a movie that is trying to succeed as both a child-friendly fairy story and Sondheim’s adult exploration of life’s shortage of happy endings. — Brandy McDonnell, entertainment writer

WRESTLING WITH MADNESS
‘Foxcatcher’ shares the story of former OU wrestlers Mark and Dave Schultz and their relationship with John du Pont
S TO RY BY A DA M K E MP | FO R LO OK ATOKC

ark Schultz remembers needing to destroy something. His older brother, Dave, his protector, his best friend and his ultimate competition was dead, murdered by a man they had once considered a friend. “This man that ruined me and ruined my career took my brother. He took my brother,” Mark Schultz said last week while in Hollywood for the premiere of “Foxcatcher,” a movie that chronicles the careers of the two former University of Oklahoma wrestling brothers and their toxic relationship with eccentric millionaire John du Pont, who was found guilty in the 1996 shooting death of Dave Schultz. The movie opens in Oklahoma on Jan. 16. Mark Schultz hopes to use the film and his own book, “Foxcatcher: The true story of my brother’s murder, John du Pont’s madness, and the quest for Olympic Gold,” released in late 2014, to pay tribute to his late brother while telling the story of his own complicated relationship with the Svengali-like du Pont. “It was a big risk to open myself up and strip myself naked before the world. But I feel like it’s
a story that needs to be told,” said Mark Schultz, 54, and now living in Oregon. The movie is told from Mark Schultz’s point of view and begins as he’s training for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Portrayed in the movie by actor Channing Tatum, Mark Schultz meets du Pont, an heir to the DuPont Chemical Company fortune, who has taken an interest in building an unbeatable wrestling team to compete in the Olympic games. Pale, with a large hooked nose and a slow, breathy speaking cadence, du Pont is played in the movie by actor Steve Carell. Considering himself a patriot, du Pont wants to restore America’s dominance in the sport while also “molding men” into something greater than wrestlers. What unfolds on screen are scenes of madness and characters thirsting for belonging. Mark tries to escape the shadow of Dave, played by actor Mark Ruffalo. Du Pont tries to establish a legacy in a sport in which he failed as an athlete and seeks to prove that he’s worthy of his family name. Mark Schultz said he wrote about 60 pages of

his book the year his brother died. But it wasn’t until a few years ago, when he showed director Bennett Miller what he had written that the possibility of a movie became real. “He told me he knew after the first paragraph that he wanted to make this into a movie,” Schultz said. The movie won Miller a best director award when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France in May. Bennett invited Schultz to attend the festival and introduced him to the crowd after. “We got an eight-minute standing ovation,” Schultz said. “It was surreal and there’s nothing comparable I can think of for that moment and yet... it was sorta odd.” Schultz tried to express how appreciative he was that people enjoyed the film, but how bizarre it was that he was getting a standing ovation for a movie that featured the death of a

person who meant so much to so many people. “Dave was just larger than life,” he said. “I hope this pays tribute to him so that he’s not stuck behind du Pont’s memory forever.” However, starting on Dec. 29, 2014, Schultz took to Facebook and shared his perception of the film has soured.
‘ I COUL C OUL DN ’ T TA K E I T ’ In recent days, Mark’s mind has been reliving the time almost two decades ago when the brothers lived at Foxcatcher Farms in Pennsylvania, training with some of the best wrestlers in the world while dealing with the madness of du Pont. After dominating wrestling careers at Oklahoma that saw them become the only pair of brothers to win an NCAA Championship, a world championship and Olympic gold, both Dave and Mark Schultz were toiling with what

to do next in their careers when they were approached by du Pont. Du Pont had set up the most lavish training facility for wrestlers in the country on his family estate just outside of Philadelphia, providing athletes with almost anything they desired, including pay and housing. Lee Roy Smith, now executive director of the National Wrestling Hall Of Fame in Stillwater, once worked as the U.S. Olympic wrestling coach and went to Foxcatcher several times to meet with du Pont. “The man could do whatever he wanted because of how much money he had,” Smith remembered. “He just had this delusional side to him that you could see right from the beginning.” Smith remembered one time talking with du Pont for hours about the future of wrestling. When Smith grew tired, du Pont ran to his study then returned even more energized and wanting to talk for hours more.

Smith now believes du Pont was snorting cocaine, which police would later say fueled some of du Pont’s more wild antics. Du Pont also had an obsession with guns and other weapons, which he collected and practiced with every day on his own gun range. Mark Schultz said it was common for du Pont to show up to wrestling practice with a machine gun slung over his shoulder. Years later, when Mark was du Pont’s assistant coach at Villanova University in Philadelphia, du Pont showed up at a practice dressed as a police officer and pointed a pistol at his wrestlers demanding excellence in an upcoming match. Du Pont also was known to drive a tank around his Pennsylvania property, sometimes threatening to punish wrestlers who refused to “come out and play.” “I decided I couldn’t take it anymore,” Schultz

said. “He was such a negative influence and everything just started weighing so heavily on me after awhile. I just had to leave.” Schultz said the worst was how du Pont tried to use the names of the athletes he hosted at Foxcatcher to build his credibility with the wrestling community. “He threatened to ruin my career and name if I went against anything he said,” Schultz said. “He built his credibility on my name. It just wasn’t worth it.” Mark lived and trained at the compound for more than a year before leaving. A few years later, Dave arrived to train at Foxcatcher as he prepared for a run at the 1996 Olympics.
S T U NNE D BY LO S S On January 26, 1996, du Pont drove a mile from his mansion to Dave Schultz’s house, where he rolled down his car window and shot
Schultz in the back as Schultz installed a car radio. Du Pont shot Schultz twice more in the back as he crawled back toward the house. Nancy Schultz held her husband as he died. Schultz was 36 years old. He left behind a 7-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son. Du Pont sped back to his home where he barricaded himself. A standoff with police lasted two days before authorities took du Pont into custody. At his trial, du Pont pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His defense claimed he was a paranoid schizophrenic who believed Dave Schultz was part of an international conspiracy to kill him. The insanity plea was thrown out and du Pont was found guilty of third degree murder but mentally ill. He was sentenced to 13 to 30 years. He died in prison in 2010.

he a Hall of Fame wrestler, but also probably one of the greatest ambassadors the sport has ever known, friends say. Schultz’s coach at OU, Stan Abel, said he was beloved whenever he went overseas to compete. “When we’d be at an international event, the crowds would cheer ‘Dave Schultz!’ and be all over him,” Abel said in an interview shortly after Schultz’s death. “They knew him, the wrestlers liked him, they liked to discuss moves with him and respected his opinion.” John Smith, Oklahoma State’s head wrestling coach and a teammate of Schultz at several international events, said even as competitive as Dave was he was always ready to share and discuss wrestling moves because he loved teaching. “He was just very unselfish and loved sharing techniques,” Smith said. “He helped me out a ton. “He just made a difference in a lot of people’s lives.” Opposite, Foxcatcher poster; Steve Carell, left, and Channing Tatum in a scene from “Foxcatcher;” Mark Schultz wrestling at OU.

‘BARREL-AGED BEER’
Anthem Brewery becomes the latest Oklahoma firm to to produce barrel-aged beer

T
he idea that he should age beer in bourbon barrels was solidified in Matt Anthony’s mind even before he founded his brewery. That inspiration struck several years ago during a trip to Sacramento, Calif., where Anthony, then a homebrewer and a video editor at a nonprofit, tried his first barrel-aged beer — a wheat wine ale called Old Pappy after the Pappy Van Winkle whiskey barrels it was aged in. “It was just one of those moments where you realize, ‘Oh my gosh, beer can be this whole other thing besides what I thought it could be,’” Anthony said.
Page 30
January 14 - January 27, 2015
Fast forward to the end of 2014, and Anthony is preparing to release his own barrel-aged wheat wine ale — named Pappy Burleson after his friend, Randy Burleson, who traveled with him to Sacramento — under the flag of his Oklahoma City brewery, Anthem Brewing Co. He’ll be at least the fifth Oklahoma craft beer brewer to sell a barrel-aged beer. It’s a trend — aging fermented beer in wooden barrels or casks previously used to hold spirits or wine — that is gaining traction quickly in the state. Anthony said it’s a trend that consumers are eager to drink up. “I think they want (barrel-aged beers), especially here
in Oklahoma,” he said. “Barrel-aged beers were kind of new just even eight years ago throughout the country, and in Oklahoma they’re fairly new just a couple years ago.” The concept involves brewing a beer and then pouring it into barrels to age for durations that can last as long as two years. Anthony refers to it as “slow beer.” “Beer that really takes time,” he said. “We take time to craft the beer and brew it, and to take that extra step and let it actually mature into something beyond what it normally would be, that’s what really appeals to me about barrel aging.” Anthony said the best barrels are those that are still

damp from whatever was in the vessel previously. That provides the maximum chance for the beer to pick up its forerunner’s characteristics — be it the warmth of a whiskey or the tartness of a red wine. Before adding beer to the barrels, Anthony said, he checks how damp they are inside so he’ll have a better idea of how much character the barrels can impart. He also inspects the barrels for structural flaws. “There’s been a couple times where we’ve gotten barrels where it looked like they were good and sealed and we start putting beer in and they started leaking,” he said.
LOOKATOKC.COM
“That’s the biggest challenge.” It’s a challenge that’s been embraced by Anthony’s fellow brewers in the state. Oklahoma City’s COOP Ale Works has found great success with its barrel-aged Territorial Reserve Oak Aged Imperial Stout. “Our barrel aging program offerings have been very well received, in high demand as well as heavily traded,” said COOP co-founder JD Merryweather. “Starting with our 2009 (Territorial Reserve Oak Aged Imperial Stout), we’ve had a lot of fun with variations of the stout and the other offerings, including barley and rye wines. “We have several special projects aging at the moment.”
In Tulsa, Prairie Artisan Ales and Marshall Brewing Co. have produced several barrel-aged beers, and Choc Beer Co. of Krebs recently released a barrel-aged Belgianstyle beer. In the coming months, Anthem will release as many as seven barrel-aged beers that have been resting in an assortment of barrels, including some that previously held whiskey, tequila, rum, brandy and pinot noir wine. “People know what barrel-aged beers are here now and they love them, and we’re happy to put them out,” Anthony said. — Nick Trougakos, for LOOKatOKC

JAN. 28 TO FEB. 1 Varekai ‘Cirque du Soleil’ delights with color, fantasy. A dormant volcano, a mystical forest and an ancient prophecy ... The adventure of Icarus begins. Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world — a world where something is possible. A world called Varekai. The sky lets go a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world imbued with fantastical creatures, a young man takes flight in an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of pure and undiluted possibility, begins an inspired incantation to a life rediscovered and to a newly found wonder in the mysteries of the world and the mind. The word Varekai (pronounced ver·ay·’kie) means “wherever” in the Romany language of the gypsies the universal wanderers. Directed by Dominic Champagne, this production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to those who quest with infinite passion along the path that leads to Varekai. Varekai, Cirque du Soleil’s latest arena touring production, will perform in Oklahoma City at the Chesapeake Energy Arena from Jan. 28 to Feb. 1, for seven performances only. Tickets can be purchased at the arena box office, by phone at 800-745-3000 or online.

Featuring Nick and Lori Bollinger PHOTO BY CHRIS LANDSBERGER
From transporting folks throughout the streets of Hampshire, England to helping sling coffee in Oklahoma City, Nick and Lori Bollinger’s Bristol VRT double-decker bus has traveled a long way since 1974. But now the process begins to make their dream a reality as they convert the bus into their mobile coffee shop, Junction Coffee. The two will drive the bus around downtown selling coffee and small baked goods. The two started the idea because of their love of coffee. The Bollinger’s wanted to open a brick and mortar coffee shop because they love the coffee shop atmosphere, community and the ability to build relationships with people over a cup of coffee. The original idea was to build downtown, but the cost of real-estate was too expensive. A friend suggested an RV coffee shop because it could also offer the ability to have a small space for people to sit and drink their coffee. They liked the idea and because the Oklahoma City food truck business is growing they decided to run with the idea. The problem was they wanted more than a typical food truck that served coffee. They wanted a more intimate atmosphere. Their search for the perfect venue ended while driving through Oklahoma City and seeing a double-decker bus parked outside a mechanic shop. They asked about the bus, and a mechanic helped them track another one down in England. That gave Nick and Lori the ability to have the perfect combination of a standalone business where you can build relationships with people, but with the added convenience of mobility. The bus should be operational in March.
