Foodapalooza by Paul Angelillo

Though Chicago’s Lollapalooza festival brings in some of music’s biggest names, there’s plenty of other offerings to sink your teeth into. Get the low down on what delicious, wacky creations fueled attendees of Grant Park.

MOVIES & TV

The story of the best cult film that was never made documents director Alejandro Jodorowsky’s ultimately doomed attempt to assemble a team to develop the classic novel into a mind-bending cinema epic.

Movie review: Jodorowsky’s Dune by Ash Valentine

Despite a couple of rainy days, this year’s Lollapalooza still came rain or shine. Check out how this year stacked up to the music festival’s legacy.

You’re probably already familiar with the Facebook page Humans of New York. Photographer Brandon Stanton’s portraits of ordinary New Yorkers have steadily grown in popularity since he began his project almost four years ago. The photos, accompanied by short excerpts from Stanton’s interviews with his subjects, are often heartwarming, funny, sad or a bit of all three. Stanton’s posts have become ubiquitous on newsfeeds across the country and even abroad, and the clever idea has inspired similar pages dedicated to the Humans of cities everywhere, including Chicago, Paris, Amsterdam and Rome, so it was only a matter of time before CU received its own version. The Facebook page, titled Humans of Champaign, is on the cusp of breaking 500 likes. It was begun by University student Christopher Chae, who posted his first eight entries during finals week last May before taking a summer hiatus. Presumably, the posts will resume with classes and the return of students to campus. Chae’s idea is solid, and the wealth of people and stories throughout our community should certainly allow him to find ample material. My only question is whether he genuinely seeks such material. Of the eight photos posted so far, all were taken on campus and all but one feature students. The subjects share their stories of finals, studying and class. Not to say such themes cannot make for riveting, captivating tales, but the name of the page and Chae’s stated mission to share the stories of Champaign’s “true, dynamic, diverse humans� would suggest a broader scope. The cover photo features City Hall, but it seems rare that Chae ventures outside the University’s libraries. Christopher, if you’re reading this, don’t get the wrong impression. I don’t mean to come off too harsh, but I am concerned you might waste this project’s potential. There is no shortage of valuable stories to pull from the residents of CU. Check out the patio in front of Esquire Lounge or the alley behind The Blind Pig Brewery and Aroma Cafe on a weekend evening. Talk to the folks waiting in line for Black Dog or enjoying Flying Machine any day of the week. Peruse the crowd at any of CU’s plethora of summer festivals. There’s so much more to CU than the University, and I’d love to see Humans of Champaign reflect that.

have rolled her eyes at this while being felt up by her ex at her locker. So much shame. I've come a long way because I now find even those "adorable" old couples who hold hands in the park nauseating. I don't get it. I've noticed that most PDA happen in art museums, which is also something I don't get. Art's cool; I dig it, but I've never been turned on by a painting or a sculpture. (Let's be honest, those Greek sculptors were a little too modest when it came to the men.) However, my most recent observation of a PDA was at a small get together of three couples plus me, so that was also pretty disgusting and frightening.

uc Besson, the man behind the thrillers La Femme Nikita, Columbiana and Taken returns with Lucy, yet another character-driven action caper. While Besson’s films aren’t necessarily groundbreaking and often follow action formula, he keeps the pacing fast and action riveting, and his main subjects are easy to root for. Lucy is no exception, if not a cut above the rest. Scarlett Johansson embodies the titlular character, giving a far more layered performance than one might expect from a summer popcorn flick. After abducting Lucy, a group of international criminals surgically insert a bag of drug crystals into her stomach. When the bag tears and the substance flows into her bloodstream, Lucy unlocks the previously untapped potential of the human brain and seeks revenge on her kidnappers with her newfound superpowers. With Lucy, Johansson cements her place in Hollywood as a bona fide action heroine, shoving and roundhouse kicking her enemies into submission, as

she has done so well as Black Widow in The Avengers. What sets her apart from most action stars is her ability to excellently convey Lucy’s jarring emotional journey and eventual dehumanization. Morgan Freeman is also on hand, playing expert psychologist Professor Norman with the same finesse he has brought to recent roles of the like. The movie has a unique visual flare, thanks to its sharp editing and sci-fi elements. The crosscutting between Norman’s lectures about the brain and Lucy’s journey correlate well and keep viewers enticed. Besson also uses footage of wild animals to drive home the themes of the movie. While the movie is mostly a showcase for Johansson to kick ass and take names, the movie delves into the themes of what it means to be human and our place in the universe. 2011’s Limitless explored this territory before, but Lucy takes the “what if” premise to the next level. Rather than simply becoming incredibly smart upon accessing 100 percent of her brain, Lucy can bend minds

and control space and time. (The scene in which Lucy swipes through history like an iPad user is breathtaking.) An interesting paradox is created as what makes Lucy human slips away when she uses higher percentages of her brain. Even if the movie grows a bit far-fetched and illogical in the third act, it poses hardy philosophical questions and might spark some thoughts in viewers. If the movie were any longer than 90 minutes, it probably would have collapsed under the weight of its subject matter. After watching Lucy, I think it’s safe to say female-centric pictures are slaying the usual male-dominated fare on the summer schedule, i.e. Maleficent and Tammy. Johansson makes a sexy, strong heroine and is backed up by an exciting, fresh story and brisk direction from Besson. Lucy may not be equipped to scholarly answer every question it tackles, but it’s certainly a welcome change from the typical summer blockbuster and will undoubtedly entertain its viewers.

PAVING THEIR OWN WAY: Q&A WITH LANDLADY buzz talks with Adam Schatz of Landlady before Champaign show BY ANWEN PARROTT

A

dam Schatz is driven by the desire to create something that not only resonates with a listener but also lasts. The charismatic frontman and driving force behind Brooklyn-based band Landlady writes pop rock that is theatrical and catchy but, above all else, painstakingly heartfelt and thoughtful. Schatz released his sophomore album with Landlady, Upright Behavior, this past June, and the record—which features a more mature and cohesive sound—is far from forgettable. buzz had a chance to speak with Schatz about his newest album, his experience playing in the well-known band Man Man and his goal of creating something memorable before Landlady and Man Man take the stage at the Highdive on Aug. 9. ªbuzz: How has this year been for Landlady so far ªAdam Schatz: It’s been good! Everything about it has been totally new. I feel like for a long time now I’ve been waiting to just do it properly. It probably dates back to being 15 in the first rock band that I started with my friends and really wanting to have the support from a bigger organism that allows music to reach other people, and it took a while; the fact that we have an album that came out this year that people actually seem to care about and want to write about and listen to and buy is such an amazing feeling. So, that alone makes it an incredibly special year, but the first half of the year was all waiting. The album was finished by New Year’s Day, so when you think of it in terms of a year, up until now has been super exciting and stressful and a little panicked in my head. Now that the album is out, it’s kind of like “go go go.” ªbuzz: Can you tell me a bit about the writing process for Upright Behavior and how it was different from what you’ve done in the past? ªAS: It was written over time. The last album came out in 2011 and actually a few of the songs (on the new record) have been written even before then with the first batch of Landlady songs. But by that point, the live band was becoming a really active beast; we weren’t playing too often, but I was really starting to learn everyone’s abilities and how they interacted with the songs that I wrote and was developing more and more trust for just bringing things to people in the band and knowing that they would make it better. With songwriting, it’s really hard to remember the actual moment when things come together. I often have little bits of pieces of songs that are patched loosely together, but whenever I’m passing a piano, I like to sit down and see what

comes out. That’s sort of how it comes about; I’ll be walking down the street and a melody comes out of my mouth, and I’ll record it on my phone. Every so often, the lyrics come first. I’ve got a big white memo of words and subject matters that I think are good. I take pride in the fact that every song comes together in a different way. There’s not a whole lot of science to it, but there’s a lot of magic. ªbuzz: Are you happy with the finished product? ªAS: I’m blown away by it. Again, everyone who had a role in it stepped up to the challenge and destroyed it. Everyone in the band wrote incredible parts of music that I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own, and the guy who engineered it and the guy who mastered it and the guy who mixed it and the guy who did the artwork—everyone did the best that they possibly could, and I think it’s a testament to the material. The physical and the recorded, and every aspect of the work besides the songs themselves, really serve the songs in being the best that they can and that’s really thrilling for me. I’m still not sick of it. I’m really proud of it, and I would put it on 10 years from now. ªbuzz: And it’s going over really well, too! It’s nice that after putting in so much work, the finished product is so loved and so well received. ªAS: I really sort of depend on that. I’m not secretive about that, that I make this stuff for other people, and when there’s positive reinforcement, it allows me to keep going. (A negative response) would destroy you. Again, this sort of feels like the first time that I’m putting something out there,

and the response has made us feel really, really good while also putting pressure on the next thing that we do, which I think is healthy. ªbuzz: What’s been your experience of “starting from scratch” with a new band after having some success with another? ªAS: Well, it didn’t quite go that way. I joined Man Man after already starting Landlady, and it was a different sort of experience. You know, Landlady had been going, but there wasn’t a clear trajectory and there’s always a little frustration when things aren’t on a clear path, because you just believe in it so much and want things to get there. And that’s around when I met the Man Man guys. I’d been a really big fan when I was younger—I still remember the first time I saw them in Massachusetts in 2006—and the opportunity came up where they asked me to join the band. It was pretty obvious that if for nothing else, young Adam needed to see this happen. And it’s been amazing. I made an album with them, did some really heavy touring. which was something I’d never done before. (We toured for about six months straight at one point) and I learned so, so much that I can use as I bring Landlady into this next level of actually trying to be functional as a professional band; having this experience of playing in a band that’s been doing it for eight or nine years is invaluable. ªbuzz: What are some disadvantages and advantages you’ve experienced having been in a bigger band while also trying to make a name for Landlady? ªAS: It hasn’t been too overt, which is nice. It was

important to me that the guys in Man Man didn’t think I was trying to leverage in any of their success to get me off the ground. Press releases are going to say that I played in Man Man or that I played on a Vampire Weekend recording—which is really like a few notes in one song. That’s something that I’m really not comfortable putting out there, but lazy writers will mention it no matter what, even though, you know, we’re not putting that out there. On the natural side of things, Man Man fans find out I play in another band so they look it up and tell me that they like it. And that’s really sweet and sort of like the dream, because there’s enough great people and enough good music out there that it’s not a competition. So this tour with Man Man is perfect for that reason. ªbuzz: What’s next for Landlady? ªAS: We are booked up until November 1 and after that we don’t know. We are really trying to ride out supporting this album. We’re touring with Man Man, got some dates with Rubblebucket and will headline some things on our own. I’d really like to go to Europe; that probably won’t happen until early 2015, but we’re starting to build some relationships over there. And I’m on a campaign for everyone to hear this record. There’s an attitude where people hear something and then move on very quickly because that’s how fast things are moving now, and I’m very sincerely trying to make stuff that feels timeless and that you can revisit again and again and again, so I’m not going to get tired of pushing it.

SAY HELLO TO SCOBAR

Local graphic designer and artist celebrates start-up success with art opening BY ALEXIS CASATI

A

lthough flourishing local artist Scott Barber takes inspiration from the ordinary, his art is anything but. In 2011, Scott Barber’s dream of designing graphic t-shirts came true. Barber’s self-started and self-run t-shirt design business, Scobar, was derived from a combination of his first and last names. “Scobar exists to put smiles on people’s faces. It’s here to improve their days when they look at the designs. I want my designs to resonate with people who don’t ‘fit in the box,’” Barber said. Barber would never have found his passion for screen-printing if he hadn’t taken the graphic arts class in high school, in which he made his first print and t-shirt designs.

6 buzz August 8-14, 2014

“There was a project in my graphic arts class that had us design and screen print a shirt,” Barber said. “After making the design and hearing that so many of my classmates wanted to buy a shirt, I knew I was onto something. It felt great to see how much they enjoyed wearing the design, and I knew then that’s what I wanted to do.” Barber still remembers his first print from that same high school class: “It came from doodling during Spanish class. I started off drawing my name, realized I wasn’t in the mood to draw Ts, and ultimately ran out of space for the ‘ber.’ Since everyone thought surfing was the coolest thing in the world at the time, I added a surf board, some palm trees and

the sun for good measure.” After Barber’s initial screen-printing discovery, he has worked hard to pursue his passion. While attending the Eastern University in Philadelphia to study graphic design, Barber worked hard to earn scholarships, as well as various side jobs to save up for screen-printing equipment. “I bought the equipment three years ago while working a full-time job and now 10 years out of high school, I’m doing Scobar full-time. It’s starting to gain some traction,” he said. His success has come from hard work and drive, as it has taken him 10 years since his first design to get his company started and moving. “I’m really good at starting things, and I love

creating any type of art. However, the day to day operations (marketing, selling, books) are grueling,” he said. Barber works his full-time, one-man operated business from home, doing the artwork from his garage where the actual screen-printing takes place. As for the business side of Scobar, Barber emails, works on social media, updates inventory, makes drawings into vectorized graphics and adds on drawings to the packages he ships as well. “There is no typical day right now. Some days are spent looking for new shirts to order. Some are spent solely printing shirts,” Barber said. “Sometimes I’m just cleaning up the shop. I try to meet with as many people from different professions

and backgrounds to keep my vision fresh and to allow new ideas to keep coming.” Barber’s business success is quite the accomplishment, to say the least. However, it’s only part of what he has done as a designer. Barber’s drive has also led him to creating multiple logos for various well-known local companies. “My favorite recent logos I’ve made have been for Pandamonium Doughnuts and Anna Longworth Photography. It makes things even better that the logos were for high-caliber people.” Barber’s first idea for his doughnuts logo came when he convinced his neighbors (and soon to be friends) at the farmers market that he would be the perfect fit for designing their Pandamo-

nium Doughnuts company logo. “The idea for the panda with doughnuts popped into my head one night shortly after I started working on it and, when I shared it with them, they loved it. Now their company is blowing up, and I’d like to think I played a small part in that—though obviously their doughnuts are also mind-blowing.” Barber also took initiative when it came to Anna Longworth’s photography. The two had mutual friends and, when he saw her work, he immediately sent her an encouraging message to keep pursuing her art. “Knowing that I wanted to see her succeed in her career, I offered to do my part to help by making the logo. It was a long time coming but, when

we finally got to the conversation of what she wanted, it was a piece of cake.” All of Barber’s success will be open to viewing on Saturday, Aug. 9 at the Institute 4 Creativity in downtown Champaign (the upstairs portion of 111 S. Walnut St.). Come wearing Scobar for a discount on purchases of shirts, hats and posters. Barber’s exhibit will include the shirts he has created as well as posters with the designs on them. There will also be drawings that he has done on packages and drawings done in the app Snapchat. Although the main focus on Barber’s show is his art, he is excited for a party-like atmosphere. “This is part art show, part party. I’ve always been told I throw the best parties. Yes, there will

be art and such. There will also be DJ Shane Canfield spinning the whole time.” Barber’s goal for the show is to have a fun atmosphere so that it appeals to all different types of people. There’s not only music and art, but Barber will also be serving hors d’oeuvres—along with adult and kid-friendly beverages. There will also be giveaways and possibly a photo booth. “This should be a marvelous night for people of all ages, so bring a friend, your parents, your kids, whatever. Add the fact that this is downtown, and it will be a night you don’t want to miss.” Catch Scott Barber’s art opening at the Institute 4 Creativity in Champaign on Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. August 8 - 14, 2014 buzz 7

A HOME FOR UGLY PRODUCE Common Ground looks beyond foods’ outer imperfections BY PAUL ANGELILLO

ith products like “the Grotesque Apple,” “the Hideous Orange” and “the Disfigured Eggplant” being swept out of stores by the ton, French supermarket chain Intermarché has gone viral with its approach to fighting food waste. As part of the European Year Against Food Waste, the company—third largest of its kind in France—has sought to target the 1.3 billion tons of food for human consumption wasted globally each year. With many in the country struggling to meet the price of the five daily-recommended servings of fruits and vegetables, the surprising solution lowers costs, while allowing the chain to tout zero percent food waste. The innovative program, titled Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables, aims to make so-called “ugly” produce fashionable and approachable to shoppers. Carrots that branch off into two ends, oranges with tangled skin and potatoes spotted with ugly bumps no longer end up going to waste but instead gain their own whole aisle in the produce section. With each fruit or vegetable given its own glossy sign and the title of “ugly,” Intermarché presents the once-repul-

sive oddities as 30% cheaper and “just as good.” Complementing the appointed aisles is a selection of “inglorious” soups and fruit juices made from the same produce, giving the customers a firsthand taste of just how the disfigurements have no bearing on flavor. Instead of getting put in the trash or being fed to farm animals, the ugly produce becomes a net gain for all parties involved: consumers get the same nutrients and sustenance for a lower price, farmers and the supermarket both make money on product normally set aside as a loss and all parties contribute to increased sustainability and less pollution across the board. The concept also deconstructs shoppers’ bias towards what has become the visual “ideal” for food, a correlation between looks and quality that has no actual founding. The only problem, according to Intermarché’s informational video on the program, has been running out of “ugly” produce to sell, with average sales of 1.2 tons of the items per store per day and a 24% overall increase in store traffic. Though such a targeted effort to utilize wasted food has captured the imagination and admiration of the web, CU’s own Common Ground

Food Co-op has been dealing with the same “grotesque” problem for years. We spoke with the Co-op’s Marketing Manager Joy Rust about the Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables program and were surprised to learn at the longstanding efforts the store has made to maintain a zero percent food waste level. While Rust admitted that it was “rare” to receive so-called “grotesque” produce because farmers tend to take it to market, it definitely happens. She recalled a specific case of some very ugly potatoes about a year ago that were wholeheartedly embraced by the Co-op’s produce manager and put on sale at a discount. While the store is always sure to inspect the items for any mold or actual rotting, the batch of ugly potatoes were sold in the same spot as the normal ones once they were verified to be of the same usual quality. The Co-op bucks the general trend of U.S. grocers when it comes to undesirable looking foods. Ugly produce ends up straight in the garbage, while America grapples with an estimate total waste of 40 percent of its food supplies. There is surely an element of habit and psychology at play when it comes to our natural

desire to avoid such strange spuds; the Co-op employs other, less obvious tactics in utilizing what would otherwise be wasted products. Fruits that go unsold and would soon expire are sent to the store’s deli and prepared foods department, where they are used as ingredients in scones and a variety of other baked goods where their appearance hardly matters. Vegetables, similarly, are used by cooks in a sort of “stone soup” that draws on the general leftover items of the store to create a filling soup that’s delivered to soup kitchens seven days a week. The store also manages CU’s only public compost, ensuring that any additional produce that cannot be used to make food ends up going right back to the farms to help grow another batch of (hopefully) beautiful fruits and vegetables. While the size and scope of Intermarché’s program is truly remarkable, it has simply brought the attention and care of smaller stores like the Co-op to a larger level. So, while the Internet celebrates the noble efforts of a big chain, keep an eye out for the Ugly Produce Savior in your own neighborhood.

MILKING IT FOR ALL IT’S WORTH University students moove to greener pastures with board game about alien abductions of cows BY CARLY GUBBINS

A close-up of the board. Used with permission from Katie Khau

M

any of you probably know the dreaded moment when you run out of Candy Crush lives. How will you ever spend the next half hour until you get one life back in the game? Glad you asked. Instead of being introvert gamers who were developing worse eyesight by the minute, Katie Khau and Jess Chu, who make up cow&duck studios, have created board game Heifer Heist to pasture the time. The game can be played within 20-50 minutes, with as many as four or as little as two players, who are ages 10 and older. In the game, players are aliens who have crashed on the planet, apparently right on a farm. The aliens are to cownap 10 cows and bring them to space, all the while dodging the angry farmer and his wife. Players can encounter silos and crop circles and engage in cow-mbat. In a promotional video that is located on their Kickstarter page, https://kickstarter.com/projects/1855392870/heifer-heist, Khau and Chu said that they were inspired by their lives in CU. “The joke in the video is that we’re surrounded by cornfields,” Khau said, “so naturally, we’ll just go to cow abductions.” The concept was meant to be nothing short of original. “The zombie trope has been done a lot, so we were trying to really avoid cliché things. I

haven’t seen a lot of games about aliens—silly things about aliens,” Khau said. “We could create really memorable characters,” Khau said, like the aliens, clad in sleek, gray turtlenecks, the angry farmer and his rolling pin-bearing wife, and the adorably round cows that the aliens are trying to “borrow”—all of which Khau designs using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The game started as a project in Khau and Chu’s board game designing class. They then entered it in last year’s first CUDO Plays board game design competition, hosted by the Champaign-Urbana Design Org, and are now on the committee for this fall’s contest. “It’s bringing communities together to build these games, which is really cool,” Khau said. “We’re hoping to bring more teams in because I think that’s more fun.” They are also hoping that more teams will draw more students to the competition. Heifer Heist was one of 10 games—and two student-made games—entered in the contest and, since the board games were all so different, there were seven different award categories. Heifer Heist won first-place awards for Visual Design and Marketability, and it is not hard to understand why. Khau and Chu have recently put their game on Kickstarter, hoping to reach their goal of $35,000

by Sept. 2 at 3 a.m. With just over $8,000, they have a ways to go. However, with their appearances at and Gen Con, a gaming convention in Indianapolis this weekend and next weekend’s Chicago Comic Con and help from the CU community, their goal will be met. The two have also been talking to IndieCade, an international festival for independent games that will be held in Culver City, Calif., in October. “It’s about bringing different developers together with industry professionals and sharing knowledge,” Khau said. Khau, a graduate from the University’s Industrial Design program, aims to work Heifer Heist fulltime. “I really wanted to get into the toy and game industry. I wanted to be a toy designer or board game designer,” she said. Both Khau and Chu are avid gamers, collecting board games and often attending board game nights. “We definitely play a lot of video games, too,” Khau said. Chu, a senior Psychology major, is currently interning at Volition, Deep Silver’s premiere game development studio in Champaign. Chu and Khau worked hard to give the community a game that works on many levels. They have been in the process of demoing the game throughout the community, most recently at Armored Gopher Games in Urbana. They made

about seven play tests before the final version of the game, seen on the game’s site, http:// heiferheist.com, and Kickstarter page. “The first (model) was a sheet of paper, and it had this grid on it,” Khua said. “The whole point of it was to create a working game, so something you could play from beginning to end, so it didn’t have to be fun, per say; it just had to have a goal,” Khua said, that goal being to collect 10 cows. Although that is still the basis of the game, it has accumulated some more fun additions, like removable tiles, “so the game board looks different every time you play it,” Khua said. And cards—“It was an excuse to make cow puns; that’s our favorite part,” she said. Puns include “Don’t Have a Cow,” “Cow Licked” and “Milk Shake-Up.” “We wanted to create a family game that was not just ‘surface-y’—not something to keep kids entertained, but something that everyone can play and enjoy.” Chu and Khau said. “It has the strategic depth of some of the more complex games, like Forbidden Island, but it has the simplicity of King of Tokyo, Monopoly (and) Candy Land,” Khau said. “It’s easy to pick up, but it still has some thought.” More informootion about the game can be found on Heifer Heist’s Facebook page, https:// facebook.com/heiferheist/info.

Come sink your teeth into Werner Herzog’s classic adaption of Nosferatu this week! To get the event flowing, Friday’s initial showing will have a (voluntary) blood drive before the film starts. If you’ve never experienced the 1979 take of this classic horror concoction, consider this your cue to check it out. What makes this portrayal of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula is not necessarily the cinematography but the plot. Taking fantasy and molding it into something palpable and realistic in its emotions, Herzog’s film illustrates how affecting the Count and other characters are in their dynamicity and complexities of emotion. Come share your blood and absorb the greatness that is Nosferatu.
