Regarding Lush Life: I have witnessed some crazy stuff go down on the Night Owl. One night a guy pulled his pants down and refused to pull them up. He was scary so everyone just let him stand there. If SEPTA ran 24 hours, this wouldn’t be a problem. Imagine all the drunk driving they would stop by having regular lines after midnight.

July 28- August 3, 2010

On July 13, the Daily News dedicated its cover to a report by City Controller Alan Butkovitz claiming that “the BigBelly [trash] compactors aren’t as good a deal as city and company officials promised.” “The city,” the paper wrote, “might have been better off keeping its old $100 wire trash baskets.” This launched a flurry of wastebin-related coverage the likes of which Philadelphia had never seen: Fox 29 weighed in on the “Compactor Controversy,” NBC10 decried the “Big Fat Waste of Money,” and the Daily News’ Online Editor Vance Lehmkuhl, tired of soiled palms, hoped for “a groundswell against [the BigBellies’] handles.”

The next day, the Daily News again devoted space to the bins—but, oddly, took the opposite tack. “[Butkovitz’s] ‘report’ is so full of half-truths and unconfirmed assumptions that it corrodes the credibility of the office,” it editorialized. Defending the cans against its previous day’s reporting, the paper said that the machines had saved the city money, boosted recycling, and “[kept] overflow litter to a minimum.”

Despite the contradictions, the compactors, once hailed as harbingers of some Buck Rogers future—They’re solar-powered! They text workers when they’re full! Beep boop bop!—now seemed vaguely malevolent, a trollish waste of funds. It was a far cry from April 2009, when the bins were presented as part of Mayor Nutter’s thennew sustainability plan: “Yesterday we unveiled Greenworks Philadelphia,” Nutter said in a press release. “Today we are proud to announce the largest deployment of solar-powered litter baskets anywhere in America.”

Butkovitz’s report on those baskets, thin though it might have been, was a rare black eye for Greenworks, whose stated goal is to “make Philadelphia the greenest city in America by 2015.”

Since its introduction, the program has pushed progress on dozens of fronts, from transportation to energy to construction to jobs. It has reduced the city’s car fleet by 400, weatherized

Talkin’ Trash, from page 5

550 homes and led to the passage of a “cool roof” code. Recycling has increased, and a Kensington “Green Jobs Training Center” opened in March. In a town where big ideas are often whittled to scrap, Greenworks seems poised to make Philadelphia, if not the country’s “greenest” city, certainly one of its most environmentally determined.

Yet in a recession, big ideas seem to be a luxury—and the BigBelly “controversy” shows that environmental hopes often dim when subjected to the vagaries of reality. Often, those vagaries are financial: In April, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Michael DiBerardinis threatened to quit if City Council rejected Greenworks’ goal of 300,000 new trees planted by 2015.

Councilman Bill Green, typically skeptical, “questioned the wisdom of spending money on trees when the city’s recreation centers

were in poor shape,” according to the Inquirer. In 2009, just 678 trees had been planted, at a cost of $300,000.

While Greenworks has made good progress—by its own reckoning, 72 percent of the way toward its goal—it won’t be around for long. Many of its programs were paid for with state or federal money—one-time funds that can’t be counted on in the future. The retrofitting of buildings was supported by a $25 million Department of Energy grant; many other initiatives—like traffic-light improvement and housing weatherization—were paid for with federal recovery funds.

“I don’t know where fiscal year ’12 or ’13 is going to put us,” says Katherine Gajewski, the city’s director of sustainability, “but we’ve really tried to cut down on our dependencies.”

Greenworks was designed with fiscal constraints in mind—yet even if it flourishes, the experiment ends in 2015. Hopefully, according to Gajewski, “after Greenworks has shown its value,” it will have “integrated itself into city government”—with Nutter’s successor picking up the baton.

For an administration marked by shallow pockets and a muted agenda, Greenworks has been a quiet bright

spot. The program is ambitious and right; its progress report shows an open diligence historically lacking in City Hall. But it will take much more to make Philadelphia as clean as it should be, to make the term “green” more than a feel-good term. If Nutter’s plan is to succeed through and past 2015, we must believe in it as he does.

As far-reaching as Greenworks is, its scope is minute when compared to the cumulative effects of our collective daily decisions. It can push recycling rewards, but it can’t make us recycle. It can bring in hybrid buses, but it can’t make us ride them. It can promote energy efficiency, but it can’t shut off our air conditioners.

To some, environmentalism seems the precinct of liberal ninnies who float through a pine-scented alternate reality. While there might be some truth to the caricature, such side-taking ultimately benefits nobody. At its base, it’s a justification for indefensible irresponsibility, boring and easy. No, tossing an empty cup into one of those BigBellies might not save the world— but for the environmental skeptic, it’s as good a start as any. And besides, each of those cans cost $3,700. We might as well use them. n

NIGHTMARE

ON EARP STREET a pSpCa raid unearths 10 years worth of bad blood between neighbors.

I

t’s about 5 p.m. and the front door to 739 Earp Street is propped open by milk crates.

Dogs are barking and crying somewhere in in the dark, fetid house. Officers from the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, some in protective Tyvek suits and gas masks, move swiftly in and out of the building. Upon exiting, each officer instinctively leans over, hands on knees, and tries to hock up the deep, pungent odor of dog feces mixed with urine out of their throats.

“I think we’re up to 22,” announces one PSPCA of-

ficer, referring to the number of Chihuahuas already retrieved from the house.

Onlookers bundle in groups on the narrow South Philly street and sidewalk, staring in dismay, whispering and updating each other on the tally as each dog is removed. “We knew it was bad, we just didn’t think it was that bad,” says one neighbor.

Even the PPD, witness to all things gruesome, seems taken aback by the unfolding horror show. “It frustrates us,” says Officer Christine Rocks, who is guarding the scene with partner Thomas Kolenskiewicz. “I have three rescue pit bulls at home, so if I could take all of them, I would.”

The house, owned by Frank and Antoinette Rotonta, is occupied by Rich and Frances Rotonta.

Frances sits teary-eyed with her husband and a handful of friends on a stoop across the street, watching as her trembling dogs exit the only home they’ve ever known. The PSPCA officers photograph each dog and gingerly place them into the red animal ambulance waiting on the curb. At this point, Rotonta has already signed forms to voluntarily surrender the dogs.

It’s hard for the officers to catch the dogs because they’re running loose through all three floors of the house. To speed things along—all in all, the raid took about eight hours—PSPCA officer Betty Sorrel asks Rotonta for her assistance rounding up the rest of the animals. “It just makes it easier and quicker; the dogs will go to Fran,” she says. After a short while, Sorrel comes out, tells the group of friends that Rotonta needs a rest, and asks them to get her a blanket.

News cameras on the scene film PSPCA Director of Law Enforcement George Bengal describing the two to three feet of feces that reportedly cover all the floors and junk in the house. He calls it the worst case of animal hoarding he’s ever seen. “It’s deplorable,” he says. “Feces everywhere, the ammonia is extremely high in the house, there’s no outside ventilation. It’s uninhabitable for humans.”

A worker from the Department of Licenses & Inspections takes a quick tour of the house and condemns it.

About 6:30 p.m., the first animal ambulance, packed full with 30 dogs, peels out to deliver the

BY TaRa muRTha

TMURTHA@PHILADELPHIAWEEKLY.COM animals to PSPCA headquarters on Erie Avenue in North Philly. A plastic box filled with 10 tiny, wriggling puppies remains on the stoop. Puppy cries and barks continue to come from the house. By the time the PSPCA wraps up the raid just before midnight on July 14, 85 dogs, two cats and the remains of two dogs have been removed from the Rotontas’ house.

To capture the real story of 739 Earp Street, we have to go back in time almost a decade. At its center, it’s a story of systemic failure. After all, residents who lived under the foul cloud of the Stink—a horrible stench that radiated from the house for years— and within earshot of what sounded like “a gazillion puppies” had tried to get the city to do something about the house for years and years. Some residents fled, moved out of the ’hood altogether. Some who remained are considering it now, disheartened by the city's inefficiency.

Fear defines a lot of this story. Cresting on a wave of gentrification that rapidly juxtaposed secondand third-generation South Philly residents with newcomers in the last decade, residents of Passyunk Square say they were scared to speak out about the Stink and about what they see as a “culture gap” or the “inherent tension” between some residents on the blocks.

PW spoke with newcomers—all sources requested to remain anonymous—who believe old-school residents use physical intimidation to send the message that they better not try to shake things up for old-timers. They say efforts to battle the Stink are misinterpreted as personal attacks on the Rotontas or, for that matter, old-school residents in general.

Now, many say they’re frightened of retaliation for the raid, though ironically, all evidence points to the probability that it wasn’t even complaints filed with the city’s beauracracy that finally made something happen.

Meanwhile, Fran Rotonta says that she believes she is the target of a harassment campaign. “So yeah I had the dogs,” she admits, but “they blew it out of proportion, believe me.” But her story is a far cry

from what she told PW when first contacted the day before the raid. At the time, Rotonta was adamant that she owned just four dogs and two cats. “And I make the cats go in the kitty litter,” she added.

“It’s bullshit,” she said. “I can’t take it anymore.”

But the complaints were not about the dogs, because no one knew how many were inside the house. They were about the Stink—which by all accounts was impossible to blow out of proportion.

“If you opened your mouth you could taste it, like your face was shoved into a litter box,” said one neighbor who reluctantly kept his air conditioner on in an unsuccessful effort to block the odor from invading his home.

“I almost puked the other day just taking out my recycling,” he says.

Neighbors say the Stink was bad as far back as they remember, but it became “exponentially” worse in the last two years.

“Last summer was what kicked a lot of people into action, when Fran put some kind of exhaust in the bottom back window that would just constantly spew out the horrible stench,” a resident says.

Then the rats came, according to residents and L&I reports.

Frustrated and grossed-out neighbors, some living on Earp Street, some on Sears and Medina streets, the blocks directly behind the house, and a few just within the neighborhood at large, say they’ve called every city agency and private organization they could think of for help over the last decade.

They called the PSPCA, L&I, Philly311, the Women’s Humane Society, the city’s Public Health Department, the Streets Department, the Department of Human Services, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Councilman Frank DiCicco’s office and the PPD’s 3rd District, which covers that South Philly neighborhood.

But help never came. Callers were referred to other agencies; complaints slipped through a loophole in protocol.

Marc Peralta, COO of the PSPCA, says the organization opened the case against Rotonta in May 2009. But in order to get a search warrant, the PSPCA needs an eyewitness to alleged animal abuse or photographic evidence to constitute probable cause. Since no one on Earp Street ever saw any dogs outside, and the windows of the house were covered, the agency could not get a warrant.

Without an eyewitness, all PSPCA could legally do was knock on the door and leave notes requesting the homeowner call them to set up a voluntary inspection. The agency claims it did that five times, but never received a call back from Rotonta.

Despite the fact that the PSPCA’s hands were tied, residents say the PPD would always refer them back to the PSPCA. The spiral continued with Philly311.

The agency assigned a “tag number” but nothing ever came of it. Sources say the Women’s Humane Society, PETA, Public Health, Streets and DHS all said it wasn’t their problem.

Then there’s L&I. Residents claim they filed complaints with L&I as far back as 2003. Though L&I had open violations against the house as recently as June 22, for overgrown weeds, trash, the infestation of insects and rats and “pet odor,” L&I Commissioner Frances Burns’ office did not return the full case history requested by PW, or explain how the house had violations for “the interior” (as stated in the report) if no one had ever entered the interior.

According to Bengal, the PSPCA frequently coordinates with L&I, so had an L&I worker entered the house, that officer could have served as the eyewitness the PSPCA needed to obtain a search warrant.

Technically, the government could have seized the house since it has had a tax lein since 2004.

For a while, neighbors say they also tried to appeal to Councilman DiCicco, hoping he would put pressure on L&I. No action was taken. Inquiries to DiCicco’s office, which confirmed receipt of complaints back in October, went unanswered.

“The city completely let this neighborhood down,” says one resident.

BACK-FENCE RUMORS

Over the years, frustration with the Stink and wheezing beauracracy fermented into fertile soil for speculation about what exactly was going on inside 739 Earp Street.

“I asked someone about the barking one time,” says a former resident. “And they said that [Rotonta] had two dogs and a bunch of parakeets that learned how to mimic the dogs, which was supposed to be why it sounded like so many animals were in there.”

Some residents were convinced there was a dog-fighting ring in the basement, or a puppy mill or some other type of abuse.

Or worse.

“The only time I’ve ever seen any sign of life, and this lends to the serial-killer theory,” says one resident. “All of a sudden the door to the backyard area, which is never open, there was a hand that suddenly poked through from behind one of these coverings and it was hacking at the door handle with a screwdriver.”

Some also say that the July 14 raid wasn’t the first time the PSPCA came and confiscated animals from the Rotantas’ home, but that information cannot be confirmed or denied because according to Peralta, the agency’s records aren’t up to snuff due to turnover over the years.

As inaction dragged on, neighborhood beef between what some neighbors see as two camps got nasty.

This is the first story new residents will tell when asked why they’re scared to speak

Agents from the PSPCA worked for eight hours on July 14 to remove 87 animals from 739 Earp Street in South Philly. The house is now condemned.

one morning, though it’s unclear what preceded the attack.

Neighbors chalk such events up to an “inherent tension” in the neighborhood.

“There’s an intimidation factor on the street, it’s an old neighborhood that some people have lived on this block or their family for generations,” says a resident, recalling the same few incidents of recent years that are perpetually brought up and attributed to this dynamic.

“I definitely feel there is an older group of Philly Southerners living on that street that feel it’s their duty to protect their own,” says another resident.

“There’s a culture gap,” says one resident.

“It’s not just about Fran, but they will just totally defend her.”

No one seems to think that the Rotontas have their own dedicated bodyguards or organize or endorse any of these activities per se, it’s just that she’s of the old school, and the OGs protect their own. After all, every single person that knows Rotonta, and not all of them do, attest to the fact that she’s a very nice woman.

These stories led to the belief that the Rotontas were protected by more than a bunch of bullies. Some residents even speculated that Councilman Frank DiCicco, known to be a habitue of an upscale South Philly Italian restaurant where Rich Rotonta’s brother has been slinging drinks for the past 30 years, was protecting the family in some way.

One area resident reasoned: “They have to be connected. I mean, how could [the

Stink] go on for so long?”

“It’s a weird, weird block, man,” says a former resident.

Neighbors say this particular patch of South Philly has been plagued by these kinds of incidents since about 2003, when old-timers began selling and renting houses to transplants who were arriving to South Philly in droves.

The diversity of the neighborhood is obvious as you walk down Earp Street and then around the corner, where Sears and Medina streets run parallel to one another across a manicured strip of grassy center island, teeming with artfully arranged plants, flowers and stones.

“It’s been the worst of both worlds,” says one resident, about his experience with the Stink. “It has the drawbacks of living in both a small town with that mentality and of a big city with no resources.”

The Raid

The day before the raid, Rotonta told PW that she received a letter from the PSPCA that same day—the day the agency secured the search warrant—saying that someone reported that she abused a cat. At the time, Rotonta sounded genuinely shocked and outraged by the allegation. “I would never do that,” she said. “I love animals.”

PSPCA won’t confirm the exact charge made by the eyewitness, whose statement enabled PSPCA to secure a search warrant.

But sources say rumors are swirling that with the system failing, an animal activist went renegade: It just may have been

a false tip to the PSPCA that got them the search warrant.

On Mon., July 12, two days before the raid, an anonymous website poster publicly suggested as much.

“Letters and phone calls aren’t working,” they wrote. “It may take someone bending the law a bit to get anything done, that’s just the way this city works.”

They continued: “If this is really happening, and has been happening for a year, and the police and health department has not acted this entire time, I would hope that one of the neighbors would realize that you have a moral responsibility to find out what is happening by any means necessary.”

PW asked the poster if they cried foul.

“I didn’t make a false tip but I did try to incite people into doing so,” the poster says.

“Then someone wrote back about how they are afraid of the Rotontas.”

False tip or not, the next day, PSPCA had the goods it needed to obtain the search warrant they’d been trying to secure for over a year. The Rotontas’ house was finally raided.

At the raid, the “inherent tension” of the neighborhood is apparent. Some neighbors who have complained about the Stink over the years, and even some who haven’t, were so frightened to be associated with the takedown that they refuse to come out into the crowded street for a closer look. Many who are outside are leery about talking to the media.

out: Some time in 2005 or so, a brick or a 2-by-4 sailed through a window on Sears Street, almost hitting the then-resident.

“We heard a big shatter of glass and footsteps running away and we were like, ‘What the fuck is that?!’” recalls a former resident of Sears Street. “As we were flying out the door, so was every other neighbor.”

Though most aren’t sure what provoked the attack, one resident called it retribution for a post on the now defunct phillyblog.com about 739 Earp Street. “[The thread] resulted in quite literally a shit storm. Someone’s house got smeared in dog shit, and I think it was shortly thereafter a brick went through the window next door,” says a resident.

The alleged victim has since left the neighborhood, and did not respond to PW ’s inquiries.

A source also recalls that someone “from Earp Street” shot a crossbow arrow into the grill of a new resident’s parked car, puncturing the radiator. Once again, it was attributed to the tension between original residents and gentrifiers.

“I never got why there was so much animosity with new people moving in,” says the former resident. “If it did anything, it was upping the value of everybody in the neighborhood.”

More recently, neighbors whisper about a resident who was attacked by a man with a crowbar—some say with a baseball bat—after directly asking the Rotontas about the Stink. Another neighbor awoke to fresh smears of dog shit on their house

Rotonta believes she is the target of a harassment campaign, which she says began a year and a half ago after a dispute with a neighbor over a bag of leaves. She says vines from her yard fell onto his property and when he cleaned them up and bagged them, he received a ticket when he put the bag out on the sidewalk. They argued over who should pay for the ticket.

“I even paid the ticket! I was nice!” says Rotonta. She said that since the argument, spiteful neighbors sent cops, PSPCA agents and pizza deliveries to her house, and that the harassment was making her sick.

“Last year, I had a heart attack,” she says. “It’s upsetting me, and now it’s starting again … They’re all liars.”

When Rotonta spoke with PW briefly after the raid, she said she had come from the heart doctor that morning and was advised not take on any more stress.

But Rotonta seeks to defend herself against what she sees as a witch hunt.

“Did they tell you that they were terrorizing me?” she asks, referring to the nebulous group of “newcomers” she believes has been harassing her.

“Did they tell you that people throw things in my face when I come home?” she asks. “Yes, bleach and things are thrown in face. These are supposed to be professional people, and I quote. But they’re nothing but a bunch of sneaks.

“You look on the blog, you can see everything they’ve been doing,” she says, probably referring to SeeClickFix and PhiladelphiaSpeaks, two of the websites where residents have been cataloguing efforts to combat the Stink since last year.

“And it’s all stuff they think they saw, they thought they knew, but they know nothing,” she told PW before declining further comment.

Rotonta says she began gathering evidence of the harassment the day before the raid, but she says the papers got lost in the shuffle.

One of the papers was a letter that had recently arrived that enraged Rotonta.

Rotonta says that the letter accused her of elder abuse against Antoinette Rotonta— her mother-in-law who has been dead since 1968.

“I think you should know how nice they really are, what kind of people they really are,” she says, adding that she's, “going to get a lawyer and sue them.”

Rotonta doesn’t see friction on the block as a result of rapid gentrification or the Stink.

“It’s one person on the block ... a lynch mob?” she says. “And he was heard, by my husband and a couple of other people, that

he wanted the house knocked down so he could build his house more.

“I’m going to move because I can’t take this anymore. It’s B.S.,” she said before the raid.

Cleaning up

Despite the raid and the shock of the squalor, Rotonta has her supporters. “Every dog will have its day,” said one woman on local television news, a friend of Rotontas’ who identified herself under a fake alias for various news outlets.

Eager to get the dog-day message out, the woman reiterated the statement to PW during the raid.

She clearly perceives the call to the PSPCA as insult or attack.

“They were being fed. It’s not like she starved them. Did you see how healthy they were? Their ribs weren’t showing, they weren’t bit up like [with] Michael Vick,” she reasoned.

“That’s not fair what they did to her,” she says.

Rotonta doesn’t seem to have many out-and-out haters, though one aggressive blogger, enraged by the animal abuse, Twittered “Bitch needs to be knocked out” and posted Rotonta's work number online.

Most feel stuck in the middle one way or another.

“I’ve known her all my life,” says one neighbor at the raid. “Clearly she loves animals.”

“That’s not love,” responds another longtime neighbor, who said she was shocked there were so many dogs in the house. “That’s sick.”

Many residents who know Rotonta personally say they just aren’t interested in “feeding into the neighborhood bullshit.”

“It just makes everybody more inflamed and nothing gets done,” he says. “It’s not productive.”

They just want to know: It’s been two weeks since the raid. When will everyone get to wake up from the nightmare on Earp Street?

Relief has been swift for the dogs.

Local rescue and adoption networks went into overdrive the night of the raid.

With the local shelter taxed to beyond capacity, there simply wasn’t any room to keep the dogs at the Hunting Park’s Animal Care and Control Team’s shelter or the PSPCA’s headquarters on Erie Avenue.

After being seized, most of the dogs had to be treated for fleas, mange, rotten teeth and stunted socialization. Bill Smith of Main Line Animal rescue, said some of the dogs had a hard time figuring out how to walk on grass, since they had never seen the stuff. All in all, only about 20 dogs, the ones the worst off, are still being cared for by the PSPCA, according to Peralta.

Back on Earp Street, residents are most

concerned about the cleanup, about not living next to a condemned house full of feces and infested with insects and rats. “The real issue is the house needs to get cleaned out,” says one neighbor.

A Philly311 rep for L&I said last week that the cleanup of 739 Earp Street is a priority.

What the residents have going for them is that L&I has built a platform on expediting “clean and seal” properties, so leaving a particularly infamous condemned house for very long would not be good public relations.

As for Rotonta, with 130 confirmed summary citation charges of unsanitary conditions, the minimum fine may be almost $195,000. According to the PSPCA’s Bengal, Rotonta also won’t be able to legally own a pet for 90 days per each citation, which adds up to 32 years.

Since Rotonta cooperated with authorities by voluntarily surrendering the animals at the raid, the case will likely not go to court. If the case doesn’t go to court, the tipster’s identity will remain sealed.

But questions remain unanswered. In Philadelphia, city ordinance says 12 pets is the limit. Many wonder: Why or how does

a person wind up with so many animals?

Many hoarders start out working with animals in some way.

Bengal confirmed Rotonta used to breed Chihuahuas a few years ago. Without Rotonta talking, one can only assume it simply got out of hand—a common genesis of an animal hoarding problem.

Animal hoarding is a strange type of animal cruelty because perpetrators don’t get off on the physical abuse of animals. They aren’t out to make a buck off the pain like dog-fighters, either.

Experts say one of the characteristics of hoarding is that the sufferers are generally unaware or unable to accept that they are not caring for the animals properly.

It’s an increasing problem that’s not very well-understood.

“It’s only within the last 10 or 15 years that it’s been studied to any degree,” says Gary Patronek, Vice President of Animal Welfare at the Animal Rescue of Boston and speaker at a July 28 symposium on hoarding in Bucks County.

It’s estimated that 40 percent of people who hoard stuff hoard animals, too.

It’s becoming such a problem that, according to Patronek, mental-health professionals are advocating that hoarding be classified as a distinct disorder in the new Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders, due out May 2013.

A cruelty officer in New Jersey says it’s become common over the bridge, where he’s pulled sheep out of row homes. It’s exploded in Philadelphia, too.

“We used to see cases of animal hoarding maybe once a year or so,” Bengal says. “But lately, it’s about once or twice a month.”

moving on

The raid has put residents on edge. They don’t feel like and don’t want to be perceived as witch hunters who intended to take down a beloved matriarch of the street. Fran Rotonta feels persecuted.

Newcomers fear retaliation from her socalled protectors.

“The people who think they’re protecting her, really aren’t,” sighs a resident, exhausted by the whole scenario.

Most just want to know when L&I, the city agency they blame most for the disaster, will have the house cleaned up.

They’re sick of the Stink, and sick of paying extermination fees to get critters out of their homes.

Meanwhile, since the raid, several flowerpots on Sears Street have been stolen in the middle of the night.

“It is of course possible that there is no connection to Earp Street,” says one resident. “But the timing is curious.” n

Fairies and ass-headed weavers will frolic in West Philly this week as Clark Park’s Shakespearean players unfurl the Bard’s dizzy, donkey-loving comedy in an urban fairyland just off the 13 trolley line. With more love polygons than a romantic comedy and enough slapstick to keep the ankle-biters entertained, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is old Will at his light-hearted best.

Bring lawn chairs and blankets to watch a quartet of young lovers duel and hop beds and a ragtag band of actors try their hands at Greek tragedy … at a wedding reception. Those actors might be in over their (donkey) heads with Ovid, but the Clark Park company knows its way around Shakespeare. LAUREN SMITH

Here in the States, Seu Jorge is best known for the Bowie covers that provided the soundtrack to Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. In his native Brazil, however, Jorge is revered for reviving the art of samba, crossing the American soul of Stevie Wonder with the intricate rhythms of Carnival. For this tour, Jorge has brought together an all-star backing band—Nacao Zumbi’s percussion phenom Pupillo and guitarist Lucio Maia, as well as City of God composer Antonio Pinto on bass. Their self-titled debut covers 12 wildly different songs—from Roy Ayers’s smouldery “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” to Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You”—and not a Bowie cut in sight. JENNIFER KELLY

Mad Decent Block Party

Though the crowdsurfing of the dog mascot in a Vick jersey and the super soaker fights might be the first things that come to mind, some may recall the day of last year’s Mad Decent Block Party was a scorcher. This year, nearby bar the Institute is prepared for the third annual shindig thrown

by Diplo and his posse, with a "sprinkler room," a 12’x12’x10’ PVC exoskeleton that spritzes water onto the streets of Spring Garden via 40 or 50 small holes. This large outdoor fixture is not for everyday use. But, on days like the block party, owner Charlie Collazo deems it fit to hook to a fire hydrant. His kids gave it a test run last week, but now it’ll be unveiled to the public. Not a bad way to

For more than 30 years, Tom Petty has done virtually everything right. He came from the South and he rocked, but he and the Heartbreakers steered clear of jammy Southern rock, penning hook-driven hits that sounded like a roots-punkier Byrds. He smartly embraced MTV and kept his career thriving through the ’80s. Lately he’s played the “elder rock statesman” role to a tee, and has always seemed like a cool dude. Yep, everything right. Until now. Mojo—Petty and the Heartbreakers’ gimmicky new “rediscovering the blues” album—is horrible. Sorry, Tom. Ideally, they’ll skip most of it live and stick to the older tunes, but I’m not optimistic. M.A.G.

ritics have been slobbering all over the new Black Keys album Brothers like Jenna Haze, and rightfully so—the Ohio duo’s latest fiery garage-blues opus isn’t just their best LP (and given the quality of the five previous ones, that’s no small feat), it’s one of the best rock ’n' roll albums to come along in years.

Singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach can still howl with the best of ’em, and when his blistering riffs rivet themselves to drummer Patrick Carney’s Bonham stomp, the Keys are a runaway freight train plowing through a Mississippi swamp. But on Brothers, they’ve seamlessly integrated funk grooves, Motown soul and even synthetic beats for a total sound that’s astounding and career-defining. M I C H A E L A L A N G O L D B E RG

Found-text artist Anthony Campuzano’s Summer Studio at the Institute of Contemporary Art sounds more like arts camp for adults than a residency: through July, the museum’s second floor has hosted open-to-the-public happenings like coloring workshops, drawing classes, dance parties and screenings organized by the Philly-based Pew Fellow and selected colleagues. The Fall Fest is a celebration of the Mark E. Smith-helmed band’s abrasive, cult post-punk—somewhere between a fan-club meeting and multimedia scrapbooking workshop. Campuzano has selected music and footage to present, and he’ll share his own tale of seeing the Fall live.

Brooklyn-based bizarro artist and experimental musician Fritz Welch will also perform.

The only thing keeping the evening’s entertainment from imploding under its own hipness is that there’s an Urban Outfitters across the street. A L E X A N D R A J O N E S

snail mail was a necessity. At the Rosenbach, one of Philly’s most charming, bygone-era locations, boyfriends in the doghouse and gaggles of girls looking for a more intellectual chick flick experience can take advantage of this concept with Love Letters. Visitors on this hands-on tour will get a rare peek at original copies of letters from the likes of John Keats. HANNAH KEYSER

Around the time world music came back from being the soundtrack to over-the-hill new-ager parties and returned to its rightful place as an influential blast from a far better past, Antibalas Rhythm Orchestra got picked up from its New York circuit by Ninja Tune, a label made famous by DJs and producers like Amon Tobin and Kid Koala. Antibalas’ unapologetic adherence to the roots of their style set them apart from their less traditional labelmates, and a bunch of nerds got to see what a real multipiece band looks like when it kills. From Harlem gatherings to mountain hippiefests to the Kimmel Center, their shows are a sure spectacle.

Spouse

No one epitomizes the gap between pop and popular better than Spouse’s José Ayerve, whose smart, achingly melodic songs would, in an alternative universe, share playlists with Big Star, Teenage Fanclub and the Go-Betweens. A fixture in Western Mass. and Portland, Maine, Ayerve’s Spouse has, for too long, languished in obscurity while less accomplished but better bankrolled pop acts (ahem, Vampire Weekend) vault to stardom.

His latest, Confidence, makes the jump from jewel-like self-release to small indie label Nine Mile Records, and includes both buoyant hookery (“No Sudden Moves”) and a wrenching description of family tragedy (“09.19.05”). It’s a strong bid for wider recognition, but if you want to buy it in Philly, better hit the show. J.K. 9pm. $8. With Saint Solitude + Sure Juror.

Black Lily Women in Hip-Hop Film Festival

Philly has been blessed to have Black Lily, which, since it was founded in 1999 by the Jazzyfatnastees, has evolved from being a local showcase for politically conscious and underground art by women to being a series of film festivals and workshops all over the globe. The latest Lily offering is a mini film festival of three documentaries that explore the place of women in hip-hop from different angles and generations.

First is Scene Not Heard: Women in Philadelphia Hip Hop, directed by local everywhere-woman Maori Karmael Holmes. The film tells the story of “legends, the famed, and the ingénues” such as Lady B, Bahamadia, Ursula Rucker and Lady Alma. Next is the world premiere of The Big Pay Back, a short documentary directed by first-time filmmakers Leah Keturah Caesar and Nicole Harris. Lastly, there’s All the Ladies Say, which documents six iconic female breakdancers and explores their thoughts on life as a B-girl in a man’s world. Directors will be present at the screening.

Robyn + Kelis

While the North American bubblegum set’s music is forever overshadowed by scandals, sexcapades, blunders, arrests, plastic surgeries and overall mind-twisting stupidity, Sweden’s Robyn remains the paradigm of class while continuing to deliver infectious, danceable and clever electro-pop bangers. While she has only released five albums since her 1996 breakthrough debut Robyn Is Here, she is dropping three this year: the Body Talk trilogy on Konichiwa Records (which she founded in 2005 after falling out with the label goons at Sony-owned Jive). R&B superstar and milkshaker Kelis co-headlines with her synthheavy, crunk-enabling techno-pop anthems, making this every dancing queen and pop fiend’s must-see show of the year. E.S.

I’m in line at The Mood—South Street’s “authority on romance and sex,” according to their website—holding a gauze pad to the bloody hole on my temple where my piercing had been 10 minutes before, clutching “pleasure garden” scented massage oil and Climax Clix dual vibrating bullets. My head hurts, I’m exhausted and my eyebrows are still stained with faded pink and blue paint.

Rewind 16 hours.

It’s 8 p.m. on Saturday night and I’m in CVS clad in a silver spandex onesie, my face flashily painted in pink and blue, buying two Kodak cameras I plan to use to capture my artwork. I’m going to see giant mouse-head-wearing progressive house and electro DJ/producer Deadmau5, and I’m going to paint some faces.

In the cab ride over, my friend finds a wallet. We promise the cab driver that we will return it to its rightful owner.

We arrive at the Electric Factory parking lot.

“Doses? Doses?” asks a lanky guy in a backwards cap, as though he’s selling hot dogs at a ballgame.

When I reach the entrance I hand the guard my backpack. She rummages through, makes me throw out a water bottle, but lets me keep my strawberryscented bubbles, my facepainting kit, a T-shirt, a pair of sandals, contact solution, a tube top, three lollipops, striped neon knee-socks, my wallet, a pair of goggles, my phone, a pack of gum and a travel-sized bottle of shaving cream.

“I was gonna pat you down, but ...” she trails off, eying my bodysuit.

Inside, the hall is starting to fill up with teenyboppers and other normals who get to a concert like this four hours before the headliner.

I take out my homemade facepainting kit and strap it on. I’m ready.

Within minutes I have a line. I’m feeling good, dancing around, my fingers covering eager concert-goers in bold geometric designs.

“How much for facepaint?”

“Donations only! I’ll take anything

though ... what do you have?”

By the end of the night I will have collected $27, more than 20 glow sticks, a Santa hat and a silver ring etched with stars.

One of my first customers gives me free reign to paint her bikini-adorned body. I slather her in orange and blue stripes, and she repays me by advertising my services.

Later she finds me and I paint the faces of two of her friends, sitting on the ground outside in a cloud of cigarette smoke, my boyfriend rubbing my feet.

Deadmau5 comes on at midnight, and the rest of the concert passes in a neon blur of glow-sticks, giant mouse heads, and semi-gratuitous compliments.

“Bodysuit girl! You’re my favorite person here!” shouts one girl.

I’m having the time of my life. I’m drenched in sweat.

Each trip to the ladies’ room to refill my water bottle and relieve myself reveals slightly more disintegrated facepaint in the mirror, and it’s not until I narrowly avoid stepping in a fuchsia splatter-puddle of vomit that I reconsider my choice to take off my shoes.

I spend the last half hour of the show relaxing in one of the private boxes in the very back of the 21-plus balcony area.

Note: This is an excellent spot to make out.

Additional note: Kissing your boyfriend whilst both wearing facepaint will result in smudged multi-colored faces and stained clothing.

It’s worth it.

Around 1:45 my friends and I make a hasty retreat to Spring Garden to beat the mob and get a taxi. We meet Darren Smith in West Philly and return his wallet. He is very tall, and very grateful.

Back at my boyfriend’s house we listen to reggae, everyone’s bodies draped over the furniture. I languidly paint my friend’s stomach.

I fall asleep around 7, after watching two episodes of Daisy of Love. (Yes, we bought the entire season on iTunes for $13.99) When I awake at 11 a.m. my body hurts.

As I scrub the facepaint from my cheeks, I notice that my piercing is swollen and crusted. In a daze, my boyfriend and I find our way to Warrior Piercing, where they rip out my microdermal. We stumble next door to The Mood, make our purchases and, minus one piece of hardware but plus one more, head back to the paint-stained haven of bed, and Daisy of Love. n Chaia Werger chronicles her body- and facepaint work and excursions at facepaintgirl.com

CHAIA werger

Though most of our readership is (we assume?) not nostalgic for the ‘50s, we’ve all had Greasefueled fantasies of tooling around in a hot rod dressed like Danny Zuko or Sandy (post-makeover, of course). You might not have the cash or guts to cruise Philadelphia in your own Greased Lightning, but you can live vicariously through more than 100 exhibitors who’ll be showing off their wheels on East Passyunk. In addition to the dozens of custom and antique roadsters lining the street, the fifth annual Doo Wop Car Show and Street Festival will have live music by acoustic duo Chad & Willie, a host of vendors, face-painting and sand-art booths for kiddies and culinary offerings from the area’s top-notch eateries. Between perusing the cars, hit up the Fountain for the adjoining Bang!

hometown of Montreal to back-to-back nights at Madison Square Garden. This rapid ascension is due to the band’s sophisticated, almost orchestral arrangements and their unique ability to craft anthemic pop that concurrently delivers heartwarming poetics and left-leaning socio-political commentary. It’s a winning formula sure to continue with the August release of their new album The Suburbs, and one that has already earned them Grammy nominations and ceaseless praise from indie hegemon Pitchfork. Merge labelmates Spoon open with their chugging riffs and singalong, T. Rex-inspired rock, making this doubleheader the materialization of every indie-music nerd’s wet dream. E.S.

Starship Warhol Andy and his entourage invade PAFA.

By Roberta Fallon rfallon@philadelphiaweekly.com

July 28-August 3, 2010

lightbulbs in the chandeliers. While the composition is not great—the unidentified man should be cropped out and two aggressive candlesticks in the foreground are phallic and weird—there’s a sense of the bright-burning, tragic star reminiscent of Warhol’s Jackie, Marilyn and Elvis portraits.

Polaroids were the basis for Warhol’s many commissioned silkscreen portraits, which helped make the artist a millionaire. (Emile de Antonio, a filmmaker and one-time friend of Warhol’s, tells a story in the 1987 documentary Andy Warhol about how the artist came back from a two-month trip to Germany saying he’d made 50 Polaroid-based silkscreen portraits of German industrialists and their families, each of which cost $50,000. As de Antonio says, you do the math.)

Looking at the Polaroid collection at PAFA, you may experience sudden moments of déjà vu recognizing source material for Warhol’s later works, or just because there’s many of the era’s celebrity faces in here as well: dancer/choreographer Martha Graham, Olympic skating champ Dorothy Hamill, ’60s pop star Paul Anka, starlet Pia Zadora.

Far more than The Brady Bunch or That ’70s Show, the small photo exhibition immerses you in the era with real people wearing real suits, dresses, jewelry and hairstyles. There’s an almost anthropological charm to the show, since many of the people portrayed are unknown today, their 15 minutes of fame having long expired. Pia, Hugh Downs, Neil Sedaka, Henry Geldzahler—they’re like some lost tribe from Planet Disco.

It’s ironic that Warhol—whose famous 1968 quip about 15 minutes of fame seems so creepily prescient more than four decades years later—is still exercising his 15 minutes.

Warhol is bigger than an art star: He’s an art galaxy.

Here, he lends another 15 minutes of light to those whose own flame burned out long ago. n P e N N Sy LvA N i A A C A d e M y o f T h e f i N e A R T S

Andy Warhol loved to take pictures of people, especially celebrities. Warhol was a potent combination of socially awkward and a voyeur; he killed two birds with one stone by frequently taking refuge behind a camera lens in social situations, and his prodigious output shows it: At the time of his death in 1987, the pop artist had amassed more than 60,000 snapshots and Polaroids of his social circle and celebrities.

After his death, Warhol’s photos became part of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and in 2008 the Foundation began putting them out into the world. It made gifts of historically significant prints to art museums and galleries that are also teaching institutions, including the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, which received some 150 works.

PAFA has a selection of 23 Polaroid and 21 black-and-white prints on view in a small show that’s laid out, appropriately, like a time capsule or scrapbook—photos are grouped in a loose grid, with a lot of the same faces popping up multiple times.

The black-and-whites were Warhol’s personal diary photos, and they are the more visually compelling. Taken with a 35mm automatic point-and-shoot, the midsized prints may not be great art, but they’re great Warhol.

Liza Minelli, captured in profile at a party, is one of the best shots. The white light of the flash washes over the standing celebrity, who looks like she may be going out for a cigarette with what looks like a lighter in her hand. Minelli’s sister, Lorna Luft, is seated at a table, with an unidentified man standing to the left. The background is black except for a few small

Rather Elementary People' s Light & Theatre' s The Secret of Sherlock Holmes is only mildly entertaining.

Friends in tweed: Peter DeLaurier as Sherlock Holmes (left) and Mark Lazar as Dr. Watson in Jeremy Paul’s The Secret of Sherlock Holmes at People’s Light & Theatre Company.

The People’s Light & Theatre Company continues its long season with a strong production of Jeremy Paul’s mildly entertaining but ultimately disappointing drama The Secret of Sherlock Holmes.

The play focuses on the relationship between Holmes (Peter DeLaurier) and his companion, Dr. Watson (Mark Lazar).

But if you’re hoping the titular secret is, as contemporaries might have called it, the love that dare not speak its name between the two old friends, you’re out of luck.

Unlike the Arthur Conan Doyle stories, there is no crime to solve in Sherlock Holmes, and the attention usually paid to locked-room murders and ghostly hounds is turned on Watson and especially Holmes as the play unspools in both past and present.

The two timelines are handled in a potentially clunky way: When Holmes or Watson is explaining past events, the actors speak directly to the audience in short monologues; when the action is in the present tense, the actors address each other. Under Stephen Novelli’s capable direction, though, the structure never seems awkward or mechanical, and it helps that Lazar and DeLaurier are excellent in their respective roles.

The play, which doesn’t exactly have a plot in any conventional sense, is set primarily at Holmes’ London digs on Baker Street.

We are witness to Holmes’ and Watson’s first meeting, their early days sharing quarters at Baker Street, Watson’s eventual marriage and its effect on Holmes (an acceleration of his ennui and drug habit).

Novelli’s designers aid the production considerably. Darkly lighted by Gregory

Scott Miller (an appropriate effect for illustrating the dark recesses of Holmes mind), the physical production changes dramatically between two acts.

The performances of Lazar and DeLaurier make the production worth a visit.

Lazar’s Watson is likeable and his formal posture immediately establishes the doctor’s military background. When Holmes returns after faking his own death, Lazar effectively communicates not just the doctor’s shock, but his anger at what Watson views as Holmes’ callous disregard for their long friendship.

DeLaurier’s understated acting is perfectly suited for the role of the emotionally rigid detective. His Holmes is meticulous (he prepares his syringe with the skill of a well-trained doctor or lifelong addict) and insightful, but he is also a flawed, painfully lonely man who yearns for companionship and an escape from his own restless mind.

DeLaurier’s portrait of the detective is that of a depressed genius who find solace only in his pursuit of Moriarty and the friendship of the devoted Watson.

Diehard fans of the detective will most likely be fascinated by the meticulous examination of Holmes’ psyche, but, still, for the rest of us, Paul’s play is little more than a mildly interesting excursion into the mind of one of the world’s great literary figures. n The Secret of Sherlock Holmes Through August 15. $29-$48. People’s Light & Theatre Company, 39 Conestoga Rd., Malvern.

early every week, two or more new N rock ’n’ roll bios come across our desk here at PWHQ. We simply don’t have time to read them all. But we should be able to fake like we did. What to do? Have the interns read them, and bullet point the book’s most interesting bits so we can fake a conversation about it. We’re calling it Fake Can Be Just As Good, a Blonde Redhead reference maybe a dozen or so readers will get. Up this week is Ray Charles Robinson Jr.’s book, You Don't Know Me: Reflections of My Father, Ray Charles. Our intern describes it thusly: “Uninsightful. Poorly written.

Jr. throws himself a thoroughly undeserved pity party. Reiterates much of the Oscar-winning biopic, but in the flat vocabulary of an eighth-grader.

Drug-addict Jr. inherited all of his father’s flaws, none of his talent. Says nothing profound. Merely rehashing a pretty privileged past. Emotionally unengaging. Egoistic.” Feisty group we’ve got this summer!

• Ray Charles Robinson Jr.’s mother, Della, left home while she was a teenager, and obtained a forged Social Security card so she could get a job waiting tables.

shredded head cheese) as there was in its deeply nutty packaging or the accompanying pickled red onions and parsleycaper salad.

Although there were a handful of missteps, Kraftwork is still a newcomer full of potential. All the mistakes are honest ones, and the over-reaching that occasionally trips up the kitchen will likely disappear with age and confidence.

In the meantime, there’s a whole lot to like, not least of which is the beer program. It rotates regularly, and a number of the brews are available in three sizes: 8-ounce pub pours, modest-portioned goblets and full pints. There’s also the possibility of a to-go growler, if you haven’t had enough to drink on location.

This, then, is both the irony and the charm of Kraftwork: It’s as approachable and user-friendly as its aesthetic is hard-edged and hip. That oversized saw above the bar, for example, the one with the cut-outs that at first disconcertingly reminded me of Mike Tyson’s facial tattoo, seemed more industrially beautiful than menacing after consideration. In fact, that goes for the whole Fritz Lang / Metropolis feel of the place: The Germanic name, the forearm-sized bolts on the doors and femur-length drill bits that serve as table bases, even the wooden tables and benches that provide the majority of nonbar seating.

It’s unexpectedly comfortable, attractive and, as the chicken soup suggests, appreciative of the simple things. n

Executive Chef Michael N. Thomas assembled a sort of über-soup from best aspects of the Jewish and Mexican traditions. His riff on posole was rich with the savor of house-made stock (simmered with the bones of Kraftwork’s beer-can chicken), hominy, white beans and tender, molar-draping hunks of bird, deeply concentrated as if someone’s bubbe had stood at the stove watching it simmer all day, but unexpectedly brightened by the zip of lime rind. This was a one-bowl United Nations of flavor, a spoonful-by-spoonful argument for the era’s hallmark culture-crossing.

Ricotta dumplings worked in much the same way: They seemed to channel a kind of ideal Italian grandmother in the sky with their gnocchilike texture and pressed ricotta flavored with nutmeg.

Only the accompanying roasted-pepper harissa sauce missed its mark. It was one reference too many—the culinary equivalent of a sitar solo in a Barry Manilow song about jazz in the old country—and distracted from the dumplings, the true focal point of the dish.

The Pair Necessities How to make your beer match your meal.

By Brian Freedman feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com With Philly’s ever-growing reputation as one of the most serious beer cities in America, all the standout beer programs around town and bores at parties able to go on ad infinitum about malt and hops the way bores at slightly more affluent parties can go on ad infinitum about oak and tannins, a question nags: If we’re acknowledging that beer, like wine, has nuance and varied character, then what are the rules for pairing it with food?

Ask anyone but the most devoted suds-head and you’ll likely be met with little more than a blank stare: It’s beer, dude—drink it with whatever you want.

Laissez-faire beer drinkers certainly have a point—if the beer is well-crafted and the food prepared honestly, then the pairing will work far more often than it doesn’t.

Still, some combinations are better than others, and for specific, learnable reasons.

In this regard, beer-and-food matching is little different than it is with wine, except that it’s a bit easier, and it doesn’t suffer (yet) from the same level of snobbery.

“Beer, over the last five to eight years, especially in our market, has gained real credibility as a true art form,” says Adam Ritter, owner of Kraftwork and Sidecar Bar & Grille. Thanks to the American appreciation of craft beers, a ton of different flavors that lend themselves to pairing with food have become widely available recently, he says.

The first thing you’ll want to consider is whether you want the beer or the food to dictate the pairing. At Kraftwork, for example, there are enough varied, sometimes unfamiliar beers that you might even want to consider what you’ll be drinking first, and let that guide what you’ll be eating. At restaurants that put less active effort into their beer selections, or have only just begun to, it may be better to settle on a series of dishes first.

Whichever side you decide to prioritize, there are a handful of tricks you can employ to hedge your bets when it comes to pairing beer and food, and it may surprise some to learn that they’re not all

that different from the rules that sommeliers use when working with wine.

First, consider the relative weight of the beer and the food. A successful pairing must have balance: If one component overwhelms the other, the match will fall apart. To that end, try to avoid big discrepancies in weight.

A powerful Belgian ale isn’t likely to be the best choice with a spring-mix salad,

for example, because the taste of the delicate greens will be lost in the shadow of the beer’s richness. Contrast can work brilliantly, of course, but both the beer and the food must have room to shine.

Also consider flavor and aroma profile. With such a vast range of beers being poured and pulled around town, from earthy-sour lambics to crisp pilsners to malty Belgian ales, the pairing possibilities are limited only by what you’re willing to try. “When considering beers to pair with food, use your senses,” notes Andy Farrell, bar manager at City Tap House. “Think about the structure and the composition of the food you’re going to eat ... pick beers that are going to bring that acid to dishes, or bring that malty backbone to dishes.”

Ultimately, that laissez-faire beer drinker has a good point. A successful marriage of beer and food is often just as much about alchemy and the magic of the unexpected as it is about a thought-out plan of attack. Beer, unlike most wine, has the advantage of bubbles, an immeasurable aid in avoiding the truly crashand-burn matches you can sometimes get with wine (think red wine and sushi). So while there are parameters, guidelines and strategies, it’s hard to go too wrong.

But with a little thought, a beer choice can make a meal go so very right.

SIX PACK Six Remakes of Bad Films

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956): Remakes shouldn’t be looked at as copies, but as new works entirely—second chances to correct what didn’t work. Alfred Hitchcock’s 1934 thriller isn’t “bad,” per se (it even has Peter Lorre as the baddie), but it’s curiously pedestrian for his lively, more joke-heavy British period.

When he had the chance to remake it in 1956, he improved it in almost every way—even in the casting of a “Que Sera Sera”-crooning Doris Day. D.O.A. (1988): An unjust “classic,” the 1950 film noir wastes a promising, existential concept—its lead character has been fatally poisoned—on a plodding procedural in which the hero solves his own murder. This conceptual flaw was not corrected 38 years later.

Guess Who (2005): Though it’s gruesomely dated in most ways, Stanley Kramer’s 1967 Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner at least starred the likes of Tracey and Hepburn. To show how serious they were about exploring modern race relations, the makers of the remake replaced Sidney Poitier with Ashton Kutcher.

The Eye (2008): Hypercut on substandard video, the Pang Brothers’ 2002 Thai shocker is one of the worstdirected mainstream films ever. The remake, with Jessica Alba, is merely forgettable.

Dinner For Schmucks is way over the top.

By Sean Burns

sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

(Dead) mice and men: Steve Carell plays a loser taxidermist in Dinner For Schmucks.

played by Flight of the Conchords ’ Jemaine Clement.

Poor newcomer Stephanie Szostak is stranded as Rudd’s wet-blanket fiancée, required to deliver the movie’s thankless prerequisite lectures on morality while lacking the acting chops to get a simple sentence across. Lovely gal, but she sounds like a drunk baby.

Every performance is hideously overscaled, and Roach’s unfortunate tendency to keep the camera within six inches of everybody underlines the performers’ strain.

There’s a pleading quality on display that’s the antithesis of funny, as watching talented people pull faces in cramped, pore-exposing closeup inspires more pity than giggles. It’s shot so tightly I briefly considered changing my seat, just to get some distance. (Had I known everybody was going to play to the back row, that’s where I would’ve sat.)

Dinner for Schmucks scores a couple of laughs in its late stretches, eventually in-

cluding the title scene that Veber’s original never quite got around to. A free-for-all freak show that descends into mayhem, it is undeniably amusing to watch smarmy financial honchos collapse under pressure, especially because Greenwood, Ron Livingston and the Daily Show’s Senior Black Correspondent Larry Willmore are such terrific assholes.

Alas, the sequence is also notable for neutering comic genius Zach Galifianakis with a silly costume. First, Carell has false teeth, now Galifianakis is wearing a cape?

If that’s not enough, Clement likes to have sex dressed as a satyr. Why is Roach so hell-bent on turning these talented people into Carrot Top-like prop comics? n

Grade: D+ Director: Jay Roach Starring: Steve Carell, Paul Rudd Running time: 114 minutes

•

Have wacky hair and false teeth ever actually made anybody funnier, or are they just the insecure affectations of desperate performers trying way too hard?

With his defiant obliviousness and shabby nobility, Steve Carell certainly doesn’t need a doofy Ceasar-cut, 1980’s-movie nerd glasses and prosthetic buck teeth.

But so it goes with Dinner for Schmucks, a dreadfully overwrought American remake on French writer-director Francis Veber’s The Dinner Game. If one needs a telling summation of the differences between the source material and its American remake, briefly consider that title change.

Paul Rudd stars as an up-and-coming financial analyst who, after impressing his haughty boss (Bruce Greenwood, oozing sleaze), is invited to a very special dinner party with the executive class. The catch is he’s required to bring an idiot that all these rich jerks will be able to mock during the meal. Initially repulsed, Rudd nonetheless sees a promotion in his future after accidentally hitting Steve Carell’s loudmouth grotesque with his car.

A lonely taxidermist who makes elaborate dioramas out of dead mice, Carell’s exaggerated loser is an aching plea for attention in a Members Only jacket. His character does not seem to come from, nor belong, anywhere near the planet Earth, and director Jay Roach seems to have encouraged the actor to push his sniveling affectations so far over the top that his ridiculous coiffure and buck teeth aren’t just gilding the lily—they’re bronzing it, too.

Roach is an erratic director on his best days, having helmed a couple of very special comedies (the original Austin Powers, Meet the Parents) as well as some of the most joyless, desultory spectacles of recent years (the Austin Powers sequels, Meet the Fockers.) The sight of expired mice in miniature costumes is already exhausted during the opening credits, but in Dinner for Schmucks there’s no dead horse (or dead mouse) that cannot be beaten all the way through the final reel.

One of my favorite actors working today, Paul Rudd is a dexterous serio-comic dynamo who could be the next Jack Lemmon, given the right roles. But you’d never be able to tell from this one. Stuck playing the Ben Stiller part as an increasingly embarrassed yuppie jerkwad, Rudd sits cringing on the sidelines as Carell accidentally ruins his life and stumbles through contrived, unpleasant encounters with his clingy ex-girlfriend (towering comedienne Lucy Punch) and a horny, egotistical artist

Dinner for Schmucks (2010): The French have a bad habit of making terrible, unfunny comedies and passing them off as farce. Worse, America has a bad habit of remaking them: Three Men and a Cradle begat 3 Men and a Baby; Little Indian, Big City birthed Jungle 2 Jungle. The worst is Francis Veber, whose stiff farces have been remade as The Toy, Three Fugitives, Father’s Day and more. This one, based on 1998’s incomprehensibly beloved The Dinner Game, overloads on talent (Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, Zach Galafinakis) and, unlike the source, actually shows the titular dinner. But Veber remakes don’t necessarily get better. n

Death at a Funeral (2010): Whoever thought Neil LaBute would out-funny Frank Oz? Not that it’s hard here: Oz’s original British farce is mystifyingly unfunny—a comedic director exhibiting terminally off timing.

In 1989, flustered by a difficult shoot for a Winnebago sales video, vengeful crew members compiled highlights of Rebney at his pissiest: Between-take outbursts at the crew, at flies and mostly at himself and the pretension of the script he wrote. The hilarious video inevitably leaked, and managed to survive through the era of VHS tapes into the age of YouTube. But even as his one-liners wound up in Ben Affleck movies, Rebney remained oblivious of his cult stardom.

Which leads us to an interesting question: What happens to people after they’ve become Internet celebs? What are the obligations of the YouTubing audience to the civilians we’ve thrust fame upon?

Ben Steinbauer’s doc Winnebago Man, which seeks out and locates the elusive Rebney, is quick to point out that some, notably “Stars Wars kid,” do not take well to unwanted fame. And it’s a safe bet that a champion swearer like Rebney (predictably now a cranky old hermit) isn’t exactly happy that millions of chuckleheads have cackled at his antics. Steinbauer is all but walking into a trap: Will his presence help Rebney by giving him one more chance to say something other than profanities, or exploit him and make things worse?

That’s also a good question, particularly because Steinbauer doesn’t appear to know what he’s doing. He comes off as a nice kid, wishing no harm upon his subject, who got a terrific idea for a documentary but neglected to think through the ethics of his project or what he’d do after meeting his subject. Rebney takes well to the director, but refuses to play ball with his admittedly inane ideas. Steinbauer suggests more YouTube videos or talking about his life; Rebney wants to offer his thoughts on Dick Cheney.

Like too many documentarians, Steinbauer inserts himself far too much into a film that shouldn’t be about him—a state not helped by his distractingly naive demeanor and habit for banal on-soundtrack pontifications. Thing is, Winnebago Man does turn out to be about Steinbauer, quite accidentally, and it becomes unexpectedly thrilling because he’s a guy of average intelligence in way over his head. Although nowhere near as trenchant as My Kid Could

Paint That, whose director found himself in a similar ethical pickle, Winnebago Man is more than the mere questionable gimmick as it appears to have began.

Countdown to Zero C+ Review by Sean Burns

Between economic meltdowns and catastrophic oil spills, it’s easy to forget we’re still perched on the brink of nuclear annihilation, too. I know, nukes are so 1985, yet Lucy Walker’s slick doc serves as a reminder that our old sum of all fears wasn’t quite laid to rest at the end of the Cold War. In fact, she makes a case that things have actually gotten even more dangerous.

Mikhail Gorbachev, Jimmy Carter, Tony Blair, Valerie Plame Wilson and even the late Robert McNamara all scare the living shit out of us. The film’s point, delivered in the propulsive glossy style of Participant Media agit-docs like An Inconvenient Truth and The Cove, is that nuclear stockpiles are less secure than ever before, particularly in what remains of the Soviet Union. Worse, the ‘50s centrifuge technology required to split atoms is no longer out of reach for some of the more dubious characters on the international scene.

Combining a cursory Cold-War overview with unsettling facts about enriched uranium, the savvily edited Countdown to Zero incorporates interviews with regular folks who haven’t given much thought to nuclear weapons since the Berlin Wall fell. Walker emphasizes the mass in “mass destruction,” favoring shots of Times Square crowds celebrating New Year’s Eve, while Radiohead’s moody “Reckoner” dampens the tone and ominous sound bites fortell the apocalypse.

The movie’s strong suit is harrowing anecdotes, especially one under-reported goof on our part that almost mushroomed into a Dr. Strangelove scenario. At one point, Valerie Plame Wilson gives a brief lesson on how easy it is to smuggle fissile material.

Even at 91 minutes, Countdown to Zero can’t help repeating itself.

Walker makes her points early and often. The late-movie activist uplift rings hollow, with too many Powerpoint slogans and an allegedly inspirational Pearl Jam song. All these Participant Media seem to end with a title card urging us to do our part by sending text messages to their website, but will that really aid the cause of nonproliferation?

Great Directors

CReview by Matt Prigge In the bizarrely underconceived Great Directors, cinephile-turneddocumentarian Angela Ismailos rounds up a dozen “great” filmmakers. What traits are shared by Bernardo Bertolucci and, say, Richard Linklater? It seems the answer is “They answered Ismailos’ interview request.”

“I thought I knew them from their cinema,” our host confesses. “But I realized I knew nothing.” Such browfurrowing banalities are par for the course, as Ismailos—usually seen either strolling city streets or giving her best thinking-hard face in nodding reaction shots—tosses her film 101 queries in between hipping us to the basics of “midnight movies” and Margaret Thatcher (thanks!).

David Lynch bellows that filmmakers shouldn’t be made to discuss the meaning of their work. “The film is the talking. The film is the thing,” he thunders, and you can’t help but want to shout at Ismailos that the man has an excellent point.

Meanwhile, Liliana Cavani spends her screen time discussing the meaning behind her Nazi-sex favorite The Night Porter, making it sound a lot more interesting than it really is. Todd Haynes provides the doc’s most energetic interview, but Ismailos could have asked him for some tips on editing. The I’m Not There maven is preceded, for some reason, by cine-diarist Agnès Varda. Elsewhere, British socialrealist Ken Loach leads into his clear American counterpart: The mind behind Eraserhead.

It’s clear that Great Directors is intended as a primer. But of what, exactly? Ismailos’ picks are purely American-European and generally of the art house. There are no black filmmakers, no avant-garde and no Hollywood types (although Lynch, Stephen Frears and John Sayles have all dabbled). No one hails from South America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa or even Australia.

The entire southern hemisphere has been dissed.

Great Directors feels underrealized; Ismailos even confesses on-screen to having never heard of Wim Wenders’ similar, superior doc Chambre 666, which she would have stumbled upon had she done minimal research. It’s tough trashing someone who thinks provocateur Catherine Breillat is worth taking seriously, too, but the truth is that Ismailos’ labor of love feels like a high school project. n

ver since hearing you say on your podcast that all men use porn, I have had a burning question: What about us women?

If all men get a pass to have this whole other sex life, then I think all women should have a pass as well. Ideally, it would be a pass to enjoy something universally arousing to all women, something that would sexually satisfy us, but it wouldn’t be something that turns most men on, perhaps it might even repulse them.

If there were something that met my criteria, I wonder how it would play out in our relationships? Also, I am not sure what it could be, as women are a little bit more complicated.

DesIres erotIc BAlAnce

This isn’t a silly problem, ITASP, not at all.

Open relationships only work—closed relationships only work—when they make both people happy. You’re not happy, ITASP, which means your open relationship isn’t working.

Time to renegotiate terms.

Tell the wife to stop fucking other people for a while. (And, yes, you should have the authority to do that—both partners in an open relationship should be able to call a time-out.) If your wife balks, concede that there are lots of hot guys out there who want to fuck her and that you’re asking her to pass up on some opportunities for hot sex. Then remind her that you’re the guy she married, that you’re the guy she’s hoping will stick around once hot guys aren’t lining up to get in her pants anymore, and that there will still be hot guys out there who want to fuck a year from now.

While you’re not fucking other people, fuck each other, fuck a lot, work to reestablish your sexual connection.

Then when you’re ready to start fucking other people again—and you’re not ready until you’re both ready—your wife should agree that over the next year she will fuck only guys who are interested in fucking you both. That’s a sacrifice she should be willing to make in order to save her marriage. It also means that she’ll have to work harder to find hot guys who are into you both—do whatever you can to help—but she’s likelier to make that extra effort if it’s the only way she gets to fuck a hot guy who isn’t her husband.

Hopefully by the time your three-way-orthe-highway year is up, ITASP, you’ll have a few regular thirds on deck—hot guys who are into you both, guys your wife won’t have to pretend with—and then she can do some solo adventuring without shredding your self-esteem in the process.

My kinks aren’t interesting, NR, and my marriage vows specifically forbid me from disclosing that sort of information.

Here’s something interesting: “A Palestinian man has been convicted of rape after having consensual sex with a woman who had believed him to be a fellow Jew,” the Guardian reported last week. After the dude “introduced himself as a Jewish bachelor seeking a serious relationship,” the two “had consensual sex in a nearby building.”

The woman went to the cops to report that she had been raped only after she learned that the man wasn’t Jewish.

Now I don’t think there’s anything wrong with one-night stands, or with being a slut, or with fucking the shit out of a guy you’ve only just met (that’s how I met my husband), but I gotta say: When we have consensual sex with strangers—when we go home or to “a nearby building” with someone we’ve only just met—we’re not just taking a chance on a person we know very little about. We’re taking a chance on our own bullshit detectors. And no one’s bullshit detectors are 100 percent accurate. So someone who can’t bear the thought of accidentally fucking an Arab or a Republican or a married man or a guy who makes less than $250,000 a year really has no business fucking strangers. That person owes it to himself/herself to get to know people a bit better before visiting any nearby buildings with them.

Not because it’s OK to lie. But because people do lie. n

I

am a man in an open marriage. My wife dates men, and I get to enjoy the occasional threesome with her and one of her partners. the problem is, she is clearly more interested in “her” dates than in “ours,” because the hotter guys are more interested in her alone than in us together. My wife is GGG, but I can tell she would much rather be out on one of her dates.

And it’s frankly depressing to watch her go through the motions with one of “ours.”

Does being GGG require her to be a good actress, or does it require me to pretend that I believe her when she claims she enjoys the three-ways we have together?

Something women enjoy but men do not … something erotic … a free pass for just the ladies … something that repulses most men …

Cupcakes?

The now-ubiquitous cupcake isn’t explicitly sexual, I realize, but our culture does encourage people—women in particular—to sublimate their erotic desires by stuffing their faces with food. And most of those squat, round and pink-frosted things look, to my jaded eyes, like so many squat little cocks, DEB, so many growers-not-showers with pink sprinkles, and most of those cupcocks are inhaled by women. So, cupcakes.

But if cupcakes don’t do it for you, DEB, then how about a free pass to enjoy, eyedunno, maybe porn?

“We’re actually in the middle of a pornfor-women revolution as millions—yes, millions—of women are loudly, even proudly, proclaiming their interest in porn,” says Violet Blue, author, blogger, activist and tireless foe of antiporn boneheads everywhere. If you were reading Blue’s blog—tinynibbles. com—you would know that one out of every three consumers of Internet porn are female, according to a Nielsen NetRatings report released in 2007.

“What’s interesting isn’t just the growing number of women using porn,” says Blue, “it’s that they’re doing exactly what DEB suggests.

It’s part of their own private sex lives that are mostly external to their relationships; they’re using porn as reliably as their favorite vibrators.”

What women have lacked up to now is the same “free pass” men enjoy.

“Guys are encouraged to have this other sex life with porn,” says Blue, “that’s seen as normal and healthy. But despite the numbers, our culture is having a hard time admitting that women like porn. Antiporn feminists ignore the female viewer. The only people, besides Oprah, acknowledging the female viewer are the antiporn Christians who see it (and female masturbation) as a disease they can cure!”

Blue directs female porn consumers to Our Porn, Ourselves (ourpornourselves.org).

“On OPO, women are talking about liking all kinds of porn, even stuff that goes too far for some guys,” says Blue. “Women are making each other feel comfortable about their newfound access to porn, openly having their desire to watch sex (and jack off to it) validated the same way that guys do.”
