Cinema Around the World

Sean reviews Angel Olsen's Burn Your Fire For No Witness on readbuzz.com this week. Be sure to check out Tyler Durgan's review of Hospitality's new record as well.

Until I moved into my current house, I’d never really had to justify my love of football to anyone. My family has had season tickets at Soldier Field since before I was born, and I’ve been going to Bears games every fall for as long as I can remember. I played the game growing up, in both family backyard games and organized leagues. Loving football is just a part of my life. That was until this year, when I had to battle my roommates for the remote because they’d rather watch Bad Girls Club or The Bachelor. With Super Bowl XLVIII coming up this weekend, I figure I’d explain why you should be excited for Sunday, even if you can’t tell a tight end from a nose tackle. 1. Football is a mind game. A stereotype exists that football players are stupid, football itself is stupid, and that it’s nothing more than a bunch of meatheads running into each other over and over again. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Football is incredibly strategic. It’s essentially like a game of chess (or Risk, or any turnbased strategy game) between the coach and quarterback of one team against the coach and quarterback of the other, with living, breathing pieces. In order for any action to be successful, it has to be both perfectly planned and executed. 2. Football is for everyone. My high school football coach once told us that the reason he loved football was because there were so many different types of guys working together. Hulking offensive linemen fight it out in the trenches. Tall, lanky receivers run graceful routes and battle for passes. Running backs have to be both exceptionally tough and agile to burst through holes in the defense. Quarterbacks need to show poise under pressure and think on the fly. Each position requires a high degree of specialization and attracts different types of athletes, thus making for a game with remarkable diversity. 3. Football parties have the best food. The Super Bowl is a great excuse to prepare and devour insane amounts of high-calorie (preferably fried) foods. Chicken wings, brats and burgers are all classics. It’s not a Super Bowl party without 'em. If you’re really lucky, whoever is hosting your party will make some jiggly helmet-shaped Jell-O. I could go on for pages and pages, but I am unfortunately restricted to the boundaries of this column. The point is, you don’t have to be the champion of your fantasy league to enjoy the Super Bowl. It’s the perfect time to get into an amazing sport that sometimes gets a bad rap.

I'll jump on the next loop.

Âť Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x201E;˘: When Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

PRESIDENTS' MONTH BY RICARDO PLAZA The two perhaps best-known presidents in the history of the U.S. just so happened to be born in February. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are in the forefront of shaping the country we love so much. Washington was born on February 22, 1732, and was not only the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War, but he also began the line of presidents to govern the new country. He was one of the founding fathers of the U.S. Without his presence, our country could very well not be the same. Yet he was not the only president that left a lasting impression on us; Abraham Lincoln was a key person in the history of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidents. He was born on February 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Ky. He led the divided nation through a bloody war and, with his commands, reverted America back to a whole country. Not only that, but he abolished slavery and was noted as one of the most important people in American history. It is important to know that these two people formed America into what it is today and, without their existence, this country could have been a completely new one. So, it is safe to say that celebrating their birthdays is the least we can do.

opened on campus last spring, we had four straight issues in which someone wrote a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Likeâ&#x20AC;? about Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. We had to enforce a â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? policy at that point in order to maintain our integrity as a publication. But I am here before you today to reiterate what so many have said before me: Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is great. Beyond great, in fact. Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is my life. Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is all that there is. My past, my present and my future. Quality really IS Their Recipeâ&#x201E;˘, and I am proud to call myself a Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consumer, now and forevermore.

Âť My hands (or rather, those who talk to me about them): If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never met, you might know my hands before you know my name. They shine red in the winter. And by red, I mean that you might mistake them for fire, break lights or roses if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nice. I can live with the color, and I have(!). But what really annoys me is how people INSIST that I â&#x20AC;&#x153;get some lotion!â&#x20AC;? I reply by explaining that this is just their natural snowy season glow, regardless of how dry or soft they are. To this I am asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, how often do you apply the lotion?!â&#x20AC;? Stop goggling at my hands and listen to my words! I have dry hands like the rest of those who live through January, but the color is hereditary. Stop telling me to apply the aloe!

er is Spike Jonze’s fourth film as a director and his first as a solo screenwriter, and boy, is it something. The film focuses on the daily existence of professional letter-writer Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), who falls in love with his personal computer’s operating system (OS), Samantha (Scarlett Johansson). Though Samantha proves extraordinary in her ability to feel and grow, Theodore must learn to accept her status as an OS, triggering his introspection about himself and their relationship. Her captures the multitudes of experiences accompanying the human condition, particularly the unresolved sadness lurking within Theodore’s life. The film acts as an infinite, unsolvable puzzle, with much of the film jumping back and forth between Theodore’s failed marriage with his childhood sweetheart and his current isolation. Unwilling to sign their divorce papers, Theodore lives a quiet life filled with routine, loneliness and the sense of a phantom limb. Soft spoken and awkward in his daily interactions, Theodore tells viewers more about himself in what he doesn’t do than what he actually does. Comparable to being alone in a maze with an unshakable sense of deja vu, Her is not the simplest of films to describe because there is so much that can be taken from it.

Joaquin Phoenix in Spike Jonze's Her. Used with permission from Colombia Pictures Though Her is set in a future with an abundance of technology and information available, there is still not enough to fill the black hole of the human condition. The film instead uses this technology to focus on the intangible and the individual failures and shortcomings that haunt us daily. Viewers watch Theodore try to cope with himself but are never handed a straightforward and concrete answer as to what he should do. As is the case with individuals everywhere, there’s a mountain of untouched territory to investigate within Theodore, and there’s a lot to interpret in the hushed tones of Her. Throughout the film, viewers slowly begin to make leeway in understanding Theodore’s emotions and his coping methods. Set in a cityscape flowing with a sea of moving bodies and constant busyness, Her impressively depicts Theodore’s alienation from this bustling world. From window reflections to gazing at the urban sprawl, a million moments in the film are so still and remote; it constantly seems like Theodore is, to quote Vonnegut, “trapped in the amber” of his memories. Flush with a mute anxiety, Theodore seems to feel as if he has been swallowed into the belly of a whale and no longer knows where he is, let alone how to get out. If you’ve

ever experienced the cliche of feeling like you’re alone in a crowded room, you’ll know that Her encapsulates this estrangement impeccably. Eventually, viewers begin to see Theodore slowly change. As he grows into his relationship with Samantha, viewers are left with a sense of doubt that Theodore himself can be seen experiencing, with no set of directions leading to a resolution. These quiet, introspective moments create an eerie resemblance between Her and Sofia Coppola’s Lost In Translation. Both films try, with great potency, to untangle the struggle of finding contentment in oneself. The protagonists of the two films could be interpreted as representations of opposite ends on an existential seesaw. The main difference with Theodore, though, is that he questions not so much who he is but what he wants. Her’s soundtrack, which features Arcade Fire, Karen O and Johannson, ties together the film’s beautiful cinematography, writing and acting. Alongside these voices are several tracks of poignant piano melodies concocted by Owen Pallett and William Butler. From feelings of lost opportunities to the wavering hopes of the future to relentless alienation, Her articulates the spectrum of human emotion with an exceptionally melancholy eloquence.

NOTES FROM THE APRON Do’s and don’ts from restaurant staff BY CAITLIN MANGANELLI

How to treat your server, as seen at Le Peep in Champaign. Photos by Teresa Anderson

or the past two years, I’ve worked as a hostess in an upscale seafood restaurant. My main job takes place at the front of the restaurant. I deal with guests and find myself constantly appalled by the behavior some people think is appropriate for public places, especially when it comes to the treatment of those they deem subordinate: my coworkers, my boss and me. In the hospitality industry and in restaurants in particular, the staff members pride themselves on their ability to best serve and accommodate guests. You’ve taken the time to come to their restaurant and because they appreciate your time and business, they will work hard to ensure you have an experience worthy of a return. What I think most people forget is that although they are paying for their meal, they do not own the people serving it to them, and it is absolutely not okay for them to treat them as anything less than people. If you have ever read the Harry Potter series, then perhaps you will remember one of Sirius Black’s more insightful quotes: “If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” I couldn’t have said it better myself, Sirius.

You don’t have to be a Harry Potter fan to appreciate the relevancy in Rowling’s words. What it all boils down to is seven little letters, one powerful word: respect. Treat the staff with respect, and they will go out of their way to ensure you leave even happier and, obviously, more full than when you came in. Below you’ll find a small list of “do’s and don’ts” of dining out as told by the true insiders: the staff. Don’t: Order something ridiculously complicated. It’s okay to have dietary restrictions and foods you don’t like; we all have them! However, ordering something on the menu and changing it completely isn’t cool. Example: “I’ll have the fish and vegetables, only instead of fish, I’d like some pheasant and instead of vegetables, I’ll take some fondue with soy chocolate.” Don’t overcomplicate. If you can’t find something on the menu to eat, you aren’t at the right restaurant. Cook something you love at home for half the price, or just go somewhere else. Do: express dietary restrictions appropriately. Let your server know ahead of time if you’re allergic to anything or don’t want something. A couple who

frequents the restaurant once asked me to make a note to not put bread out for them when they came in, as both of them are gluten intolerant. This was great to know! We found a suitable alternative for them and saved bread for other guests. Don’t: hover angrily. I get it, you want to eat your dinner! Trust me, I want you to be seated and content as well, but we’re all doing the best we can. Restaurants don’t flow nearly as smoothly as people believe. It’s absolutely chaotic, and badgering an employee to show you to a table that’s not ready or demanding your food before it’s prepared will only cause them to become flustered and your wait to increase in length. On that note, budget your time. If you have to be somewhere immediately after, plan accordingly. Do: feel free to ask how long the wait will be and remind the host or hostess that you’re there. Reservations are typically honored in a timely fashion. However, as I mentioned earlier, the craziness of a restaurant stems from its unpredictability. If you have a commitment, letting us know isn’t just welcomed, it’s incredibly appreciated. The further in advance we know your plans, the better we are able to utilize our resources

to accommodate you and get you out on time. Don’t: stiff a server on a tip. Servers don’t usually work on salary, which means that your tip is what they take home at the end of the day. The expected tipping percentage is between 15 and 20. Anything below 12 percent is insulting. If you’ve experienced extraordinary service, by all means, tip more. Remember: You aren’t teaching a server a “lesson” by not tipping. You just look rude. Do: feel free to speak with a manager. You’ve had a great meal but don’t want to tip extra? Letting a manager know or even telling servers directly how much you appreciated their service is a huge deal. They work incredibly hard, and hearing that their work has been recognized can be just as valuable as extra money. Insiders tip: if you’ve had a horrible meal and want to teach a server a lesson, speak with a manager afterwards. More often than not, the manager will void your entire bill and your tip will be irrelevant. So go out, enjoy yourself, your company and your meal and always remember that secret ingredient: R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Do you want to find out what it means to me? Everything.

NO WORDS LEFT UNSPOKEN Raymond Morales releases 2nd spoken word album

BY J.J. WILSON Raymond Morales on the mic. Photo used with permission from Raymond Morales.

riter’s note: The following article details the experiences of one man and his particular artistic journey without offering the perspectives of others. It is written solely around his own words and feelings to highlight the individuality rooted in each and every person’s story. Raymond Morales is a man of science. He’s logical, he’s methodical. He’s systematic, he’s aristocratic. The list goes on, and it’s easy to understand why when looking at his life on paper. He started with a posh, New York private school education, earned an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from MIT, and now is nine years active in a dual pursuit of both a medical degree and a Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University. But this is his life on paper. These words are just labels, slapped on by those who don’t see further than his surface. These people don’t see the Puerto Rican boy brought up in the South Bronx of New York. They can’t grasp the emotional rapid fire endured along a path to prestige. And most of all, they fail to hear the voice of the 33-yearold man shaped by these experiences — a voice unique not only in the content of its story, but also

6 buzz January 31- February 6, 2014

in personalized emotions that power it. With support from both the Student Organization Resource Fee (SORF) and an arts grant from the city of Urbana, though, his voice, among others, will finally be heard when released as part of a 10-artist spoken word album on February 6 at the Krannert Art Museum in Champaign. “I think everyone has a story to tell,” Morales said. “And I think anyone who writes or tells stories, whether it’s for public consumption or for personal, emotional dealing, realizes it’s a pretty powerful and can help you cope as a coping mechanism.” Before there were any prospects of an album, before Morales’ life knew the art of spoken word, he was just a young man making do with his situation. He had enough smarts to discover scholarships and grants that would bypass his family’s financial situation and help fund the education he desired. He had the guts to prove he was capable by continuing on to college and graduate school. And yet, at the same time, Morales was the same young man who carried with him the burden of difficult past. Morales said he now understands how the raw content of painful experiences can be overwhelm-

ing. But years ago, his exposure to drugs, abuse and heartbreak charged parts of his heart with heavy emotions. While it didn’t deter him from excelling in school, the dozens of unforgettable memories involving family, friends and lost love grew into a poignant inner weight anchoring him in the past. As his emotional strain continued to build up over the years, though, Morales said he searched and ultimately found three simple things that helped alleviate his pain: a pen, a piece of paper and an unobstructed flow of free expression through writing poetry. If you were to ask him about what his writing meant to him, it’s likely he would tell you a story he had been told about Abraham Lincoln. He would talk about how the former president used to write his own letters, address them to those who upset him, and lock them away in his desk without ever intending to send them. But whether the story contains any historical truth doesn’t matter to him. It’s the message that really speaks to him. “It encapsulates something I used to do in the past,” Morales said. His writing did him a favor. Whether it was poetry or a quickly penned memory, he sat down for the same reason each time. With every painful word put down on paper, the weight inside began to lift. His experiences became a part of moving forward, not looking back. The power Morales found in his writing had remained mostly privy to him up to the point when he began his graduate studies at the University. Nine years ago, he came to the Champaign-Urbana area still in pursuit of academic success, but his writing had opened up his interests to more than just science. He began socializing with campus artists and became the executive producer and host of a radio show, all while balancing his studies and scientific research. For a time, he said he was living in two worlds, as if he were at the center of a Venn diagram. It worked for him, too. It wasn’t long, though, before he met a local artist named Aaron Ammons and, under his influence, his writing grew into something more than just a coping mechanism. Ammons, in addition to being the local chapter president for the Service Employees International Union, worked closely with developing stories and experiences into an artistic form called spoken word. Ammons also visited a local public engagement portal called SPEAK Cafe, which offers open mic opportunities to local artists and writers. “Working with him and going to SPEAK Cafe, I began to develop my own ability and craft them toward that style,” Morales said. “I’ve always written different styles of poetry, but having the courage and tact to do that on stage really cultivated under his eye, although not directly. He didn’t realize that I was doing that.” Morales said getting on stage was and still is a difficult task, but his lack of shame from previous writing experience helped him muster the confidence. At first, he would step up to the mic and talk. There was no rhythm or prose; it was just raw and personal. Through practice, though, he said his pieces were sculpted into something “more digestible” for audiences while retaining their personal content. “In a way, I think it’s like being naked on stage when you talk about stories,” he said. “You’re

revealing a side of yourself that’s usually covered from other people to see.” Since uncovering his passion for spoken word, Morales has organized a project called Ill Poets Society, which he said is “to create beautiful art” and “give an opportunity to a wide variety of artists to engage in a different style of storytelling than most people are used to.” He gained support from both SORF and the Urbana Public Arts Committee to help fund a first album two years ago, which he considered to be very successful. Since its release, several of the album’s six artists, including Morales, have been contacted about performing in other venues. One contributing artist was even signed to a major label. The piece Morales said solicited the most attention was a video titled “Chi City Youth,” which accrued 25,000 shares on Facebook in its first month. Now, Ill Poets Society is preparing to launch its second album, titled “ILL POETS SOCIETY volume II: The Aaron Ammons Project,” backed again by the support of both SORF and a city of Urbana arts grant. The album release event, which will also feature an open mic, will give away 200 free copies of the album in the hopes of increasing awareness of the project. And on top of it all, Morales is still an M.D. candidate for the class of 2014. Seeing the larger picture, it isn’t inaccurate to call him Dr. Raymond Morales; although, perhaps inappropriate. The science of medicine is still as much of an art to him as the spoken word. It’s a unique perspective revealed by having one foot firmly planted in each of the two worlds he lives in. But as far as labels go, there is only one truly appropriate enough to be assigned to his life. Raymond Morales is just a man; one of the billions who have a story to tell in their own words.

At one point he turned to me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be good at this sort of thing.â&#x20AC;? So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where it started. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen right away, though. We lived in Europe for a while, in Sicily and London and Wales. We spent that time collecting items, such as furniture and china, for our bed and breakfast. Anytime we saw something we liked, we would buy it. So this dream has been about 14 years in the making. Âťbuzz: Why did you decide to start your business in Urbana?

Our food is one of the things that make our bed and breakfast so special. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different than what most people are used to. I also try to buy only local or organic produce. This can be difficult at times because it limits what I can buy depending on what time of the year it is. Âťbuzz: Do you have a certain kind of clientele that makes up your business? ÂťSS: Not at all. We really get a variety of people here. We have had scientists, lawyers, celebrities, students and people visiting from overseas. We welcome everyone and try to make them feel as if our bed and breakfast is a home away from home. Âťbuzz: Do you interact with your customers much? ÂťSS: Yes, we do. I always try to talk to our guests when they check in. Sometimes I find that I am talking a bit too much, and I try to control myself a bit. But I love getting to know the guests, and since we have such diversity, I find that I learn something different from all of them. Âťbuzz: What would you say to university students to entice them to come out to your bed and breakfast? ÂťSS: I really think that our most important feature is the homey feel we project. Our inn is a place where students can come to relax and get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep. Also, we are able to host meetings if students are in need of a venue for clubs or study groups. Sylviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish Inn is located at 312 W. Green St. in Urbana. Tickets for the Midwest Winter Tea are $25 per person and $50 per person for the Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day dinner. More information on Sylviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish Inn and the different services it offers can be found on its website at http://sylviasirishinn.com.

V-DAY

ÂťSS: My husband had grown up in Chicago, and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to live in the city anymore. He wanted to live out here in the country. Âťbuzz: Apart from being able to rent rooms, what other events or services do you offer? ÂťSS: We put on many different activities throughout the year. During the summer, we utilize our backyard for music performances. We also do a St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day celebration and a pancake breakfast with Miss Bunny. And actually on February 1, we will be having our first Midwest Winter Tea. Âťbuzz: What will that entail? ÂťSS: We regularly serve afternoon teas with little snacks to accompany it, like soda bread, and I wanted to expand on it. For the Winter Tea, we will be serving sandwiches and other food in addition to what we have at our afternoon teas. Âťbuzz: Is this open to everyone or just your guests? ÂťSS: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open to everyone! However, you do need to call and register, but you can do that the day of the event. This way, I can make sure I have enough food and enough tables set up. Also, I can be more prepared if any guests have a particular dietary restriction. Âťbuzz: Do you have any other events going on in February? ÂťSS: Yes. I have decided to offer more meals here than simply breakfast. Soon I will be offering lunch Tuesday through Friday and dinner on Friday and Saturday. This will start with dinner on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Âťbuzz: What kind of food will you be serving? ÂťSS: All my recipes are European, and I put a lot of emphasis on making everything from scratch.

ROARING FOR A CAUSE

Charity We Are Lions hosted a house show, but doesn’t plan on stopping there

JONE SIN’

by Matt Jones

“Don’t Look Down” — you’ll get nightmares.

BY KEVIN MCMAHON

small donation to a worthy cause got patrons ushered onto the crowded floor of a quintessential Urbana house show this past Saturday night. Grandkids took the stage at 9 p.m., giving the crowd a taste of its 2013 release Timeshare and its The Great Cover Up set as Television. Frontwoman Vivian McConnell has long brought a powerful stage presence, and the freshness of the material breathed even more life into Grandkids’ performance. The Kickback drew next, bringing a raw, unprocessed rock sound to a space barely big enough to hold it. The band’s set culminated in a seven-minute standout called “Rob My House,” a tale of the woes of getting burgled and how to write an aggressive punk song about it. Not to be forgotten, Elsinore stepped up last and not only gave fans the CU champion they’ve come to adore, but also played its undeniably transcendent Nirvana cover from The Great Cover Up. The sponsor of the evening was an organization called We Are Lions, an online clothing company that uses disabled artists’ work to make a variety of items, including hoodies, T-shirts and phone cases. Over the past few years, founder David Schwartz has worked with various groups to make this a reality. In conjunction with Canopy’s Club, a University registered student organization, We Are Lions has produced a few similar events over the past couple of years. buzz got a chance to talk to Schwartz to get a little more insight into the cause and what we can look forward to in the coming months. » buzz: When did We Are Lions come into existence, and what gave you the idea to start it? » David Schwartz: We Are Lions came into existence my senior year in high school, four years ago. I wanted to harness the idea of creating something different and limited-edition. The stars were aligned when I was in a coffee shop and saw the most incredible painting in the world. There were a few thoughts that went on in my head at that point: “Wow, that must be expensive” and “Only a creative genius could make something so magnificent,” “Everyone in the world should see this painting” and finally, “I want to wear that.” That is where We Are Lions was born. I researched the artist, and I found out that the artist was an individual with a disability. I was blown away and inspired. I called the Arts of Life, which is the organization that employs amazing artists with disabilities, the next day and told them I wanted to put their artwork on T-shirts. Lions are the “kings” of the jungle, and everyone deserves to feel like a king (or queen). And that’s a brief summary of who, what, where, when and why We Are Lions started. » buzz: So where do you get the artwork from, and how often are you able to get new stuff? » DS: I get my art from many different places from many different parts of the world — Israel to California. Artists as young as 10 to as old as 75. I don’t believe in disability, only in ability, and everybody

has it. We work with independent artists trying to make a living, to organizations that employ artists, like the Arts of Life in Chicago and NIAD in Oakland. » buzz: Where do the We Are Lions proceeds go to? » DS: Proceeds go to the organizations and artists that we work with. Sometimeswwww we work with the artists directly, other times we work with the organizations directly who have independent contracts with their artists. The proceeds from a particular painting, however, go back to that artist or organization that created it. » buzz: Can you see We Are Lions branching out to other media besides clothing to display the artwork? » DS: We Are Lions will definitely be branching out to other mediums besides clothing. We’ve made iPhone cases already. We made a custom, handpainted bicycle too, and we are making the second one available by auction or raffle. I haven’t decided yet. I’m in the process of starting a public art initiative through trash cans and recycling bins that feature We Are Lions and local artists. The list goes on for alternative mediums and art. » buzz: You’ve collaborated with Canopy’s Club a few times now. Any future plans for things like last Saturday’s house show? » DS: Yeah, we’ve done a bunch of great events. Saturday was so successful. We had more than 300 people showing us love, even though it was freezing cold outside. We are looking at a monthly house show. We’re also doing some interactive art shows called Soul Masterpeace that fuse live music and crowd participatory painting experience and art making. It’s magical and a revolutionary way to experience live music. Stay tuned for more events. » buzz: What are your goals for We Are Lions moving forward? » DS: My goals for We Are Lions continue to grow. We want to collaborate with more artists, organizations and musicians to empower as many individuals as possible. I would love to see We Are Lions on new products such as hats, yoga pants for the ladies, and a grand piano ... line expansion, for sure. I want to raise more money for individuals with disabilities and organizations. State funding for individuals with disabilities, especially in Illinois, is overlooked. I also want to reach wider audiences beyond the scope of college kids.
