It Depends on Your Definition of “Should”

Southside residents question the county’s sale agreement that would deed public land to a developer.

B Y B E L L A D AV I S b e l l a @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

S

outhside residents opposing the potential sale and development of a Santa Fe County-owned open space on South Meadows Road are questioning whether county officials followed their own rules when they approved the disposal of the land.

The process was “egregious,” says Helen Wunnicke, a former area resident who, by compiling information for the County Open Lands, Trails and Parks Advisory Committee’s (COLTPAC) consideration, played a role in the county obtaining the land in 2001.

Officials, on the other hand, say there’s no established procedure on the disposal of open space because it’s so rare. That

means, by the county’s reasoning, those officials did not break any rules.

The county bought the 22-acre property two decades ago using about $1 million of 1999 Open Space and Trails general obligation bonds, with the intent of constructing a community park. The bond was fully paid off in 2018, according to spokeswoman Carmelina Hart.

County commissioners—after, some claim, offering the land to City of Santa Fe officials on multiple occasions—quietly approved the disposal in July 2020 on a unanimous vote. (Commissioner Rudy Garcia recused himself.)

A sale agreement for $1.79 million between the county and affordable housing developer Homewise could, pending city approval, result in 161 for-sale units and a roughly 6-acre park popping up on the land,

Did Santa Fe County break its own rules in South Meadows open space disposal? which sits next to the Eberline plant, a former radioactive manufacturing facility owned by Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Homewise is calling the project Los Prados, as advertised on a recently-launched website.

Opponents of the Homewise sale have pointed to the county’s Open Land and Trails Plan, adopted in 2000, as evidence that the county didn’t follow its rules governing such a move.

The plan states that sale proposals “should be” subject to two public hearings at least six months apart “so the public has an opportunity to voice opinions about the sale,” and then the proposal should be submitted to COLTPAC before the commission makes a final decision.

The county didn’t hold any public hearings on the proposal, and COLTPAC didn’t review it.

COLTPAC Chairman Rubén Cedeño told SFR at a special meeting last October that the committee was “caught by surprise” after learning of the disposal more than a year after it was approved.

Asked why the county didn’t follow those guidelines, Hart writes in an email to SFR: “That plan did not mandate any specific procedures be followed to dispose of open space property. Rather, through the use of the word should, it expressed a preference for certain procedures rather than a mandatory requirement.”

Besides, the plan was part of the 1999 Santa Fe County Growth Management Plan, which was replaced in 2010, Hart says.

NEWS

The most recent plan is the Open Space, Trails and Parks Strategic Management Plan, which doesn’t outline disposal procedures.

“The county has not adopted replacement recommendations concerning open space disposal because open space disposal is exceedingly rare,” Hart writes. The South Meadows disposal is the only instance of which she’s aware.

Hart adds that the public will have opportunities to weigh in on the proposed development as Homewise makes its way through the city’s approval process. The case is set to go before the Planning Commission on March 3.

“In agreeing to sell the property to Homewise, the county understood that Homewise would need to secure appropriate land use, zoning, and development rights from the City of Santa Fe,” Hart writes. “It also understood that the city’s land use processes would involve public notification and hearings concerning the proposed uses of the property.”

The dispute isn’t relegated to talking points, however.

The Office of the State Auditor—which investigates governmental waste, fraud and abuse—received a formal complaint about the pending sale Tuesday and has opened an examination, spokeswoman Stephanie Telles tells SFR. “Compliance with rules is something we would review,” Telles tells SFR, noting the auditor looks into all formal complaints. “We would also review transactions at issue.”

Marlow Morrison, president of the nearby Tiempos Lindos Homeowners Association, tells SFR she contacted State Auditor Brian Colón via email Monday evening about the disposal.

“My neighborhood is very concerned about the ethics of this sale,” Morrison wrote in her email, which she shared with SFR. “The sale is not final but is in final stages and can still be stopped.”

Leader Lost

In addition to his work in local politics, Gonzales served on the Board of Regents for New Mexico Highlands University and New Mexico State University, his alma mater, where he received a degree in accounting after graduating from Pojoaque High School in 1984.

Prior to announcing his run for mayor, Gonzales came out publicly as gay in a blog post embracing his sexual identity and faith in the Santa Fe community, noting that his “failed marriage” was a consequence of his attempts to hide his sexuality, having grown up in a traditional, extended Catholic family in Santa Fe. “Our very existence as a community is proof that we are better when we value and accept one another for who we are without judgment,” he wrote in 2013.

City Councilor Signe Lindell, who sat on Gonzales’ council as his mayor pro-tem, describes him as “a terrific mentor”, but says “he was also a fabulous friend. He’s the kind of guy that half of Santa Fe thought that they were his best friend. He had that kind of magic.”

Longtime friend and Zozobra Event Chair Ray Sandoval says “what always amazed” him about his relationship with Gonzales was “he always made me feel like it was symbiotic, that he was learning just as much from me as what he was teaching me.

His love for our city, our community, our traditions, it was impressive to watch somebody who cared so much and was able to really accomplish things that were difficult.”

Gonzales’ effort to tax sugary drinks left a notable footprint on his political career.

Former Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales dies at 55, less than two years after cancer diagnosis

BY WILLIAM MELHADO w i l l i a m @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

JULIA GOLDBERG

avier Gonzales made an outsized impact on Santa Fe through his role as a mayor, political leader and community member.

At the time of his death last week, the 55-year-old was a Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center patient following a cancer diagnosis less than two years ago.

He also worked as the vice president and chief development officer for the hospital’s foundation.

Following in his father’s footsteps— George Gonzales was Santa Fe’s mayor from 1968 to 1972—Gonzales announced his candidacy for mayor in August 2013, later defeating then-City Councilors Patti Bushee and Bill Dimas.

Despite an upbringing steeped in politics, Gonzales’ road to the mayor’s seat was marked by firsts. He was the first mayor of Santa Fe to succeed a father in the role, and he was the first openly gay mayor of the City Different.

“He was balanced, he was thoughtful, he respected everybody’s opinion,” Cyndi Conn, a friend of Gonzales’, tells SFR. “I mean, his biggest flaw was always trying to make everybody happy.” Conn says she and Gonzales met during his campaign and became fast friends, always “at each other’s side.”

Gonzales remained active and thoughtful in the past few years, telling SFR in a recent interview: “One of the things we’ve learned over the pandemic has been this bond that the community naturally feels toward health care workers. The community wants to figure out a way to lighten the load.”

His most prominent political role as mayor followed two terms on the Santa Fe County Commission, from 1995 to 2002, and a stint as chairman of the state Democratic Party, from 2009 to 2013.

Mayor Javier Gonzales occupied the office at City Hall for one term beginning in 2014.

His love for our city, our community, our traditions, it was impressive to watch somebody who cared so much and was able to really accomplish things that were difficult.

-Ray Sandoval, longtime friend and Zozobra Event Chair

He posited a 2% tax on sugar beverages, which failed at the ballot box, as a way to finance early childhood education in Santa Fe. Kate Noble, who worked in Gonzales’ administration for three years on his economic development initiatives, notes his “brilliant” communication skills and his less-well-known gift for writing, which made him a “unifying force” in Santa Fe. “I don’t think anybody could exceed his charisma and magnetism in a room when he was talking about something he felt passionate about and believed in,” Noble says.

Opting to serve only one term as mayor

to devote more time to raising his youngest daughter, Gonzales endorsed Alan Webber, who would become the city’s first full-time mayor in 2018.

“Santa Fe has lost a home-grown, hometown hero,” Webber said in a statement. “He was a true son of Santa Fe, the son of a former mayor and a dedicated and loving father.”

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham also issued a statement following Gonzales’ death: “Javier Gonzales was a trailblazer, a fierce advocate, and a dedicated leader— he was also a beloved son, a remarkable father, and an incredible friend, including to me.”

Following his time as a public servant, Gonzales took up work with Descartes Labs. It was there, away from the public spotlight, that he learned of the source of aches and pains that had recently plagued him.

In October 2020 Gonzales publicly shared his stage 4 cancer diagnosis with the Santa Fe New Mexican.

Gonzales’ death marks the first Santa Fe mayoral death since Louis Montaño, who served from 1982 to 1986, died in 2008.

Gonzales is survived by his two daughters, Cameron and Cadence, and two brothers, Estevan and Patricio Gonzales.

In her last text exchange with her friend, Conn says Gonzales wrote to her, “Live your best life. Be kind to everybody.”

An obituary published by Rivera Family Funerals notes that due to COVID-19, a public memorial service will be held at a future day to be announced.

n a typical day at Rock Point (Tsé Nitsaa Deez’áhí) on the Navajo Nation, Marvin the cat leaped atop a post to escape the antics of Nina the dog. Shantel Chee, the photographer, stood by to capture it all. Chee, of the Kinłichíí’nii (Red House) clan, has returned home to the reservation as she completes her fifth year of education with the Institute of American Indian Arts. She tells SFR the first-place photograph taken on Jan. 22 also depicts a shed house that she and her late mother built with other siblings about 15 years ago.

In the background rise Whale Rock (Tsé Bina’ookáhí) on the left and Round Rock (Tsé Nikání) on the right. “We are just so surrounded by rocks,” she says. “I can see nothing but rocks and it is interesting how that fits in your stories.”

While the SFR Photo Contest generally sticks to images taken within New Mexico, the judges made an exception for “Post Cat,” just over the state’s northwestern border with Arizona. As we endure another year of the COVID-19 pandemic, our relationships with animal companions deepened, and we all felt (still feel?) a bit like standing atop a tall and lonely tower.

A Family Affair Wheelwright goes deep with the iconic Abeyta family Most shows at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian are fairly personal for Chief Curator Andrea Hanley, but in the case of the recently opened Abeyta | To’Hajiilee K’é, dedicated to the illustrious Abeyta family of Navajo artists, it’s a little bit more intense. Hanley previously worked with Pablita Abeyta at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, and not only did she get a front-row seat to the celebrated artist’s creativity and personal life, she learned a lot about how the institutional art world works. For this and countless other reasons, Hanley is proud— and should be—of the new show, which runs through early January next year.

“I just really wanted to do something for the family, and for the sisters, Pablita and Elizabeth, who had been featured in group shows, but hadn’t had a major exhibition of their work,” Hanley tells SFR. “It’s also about looking at the deeper connection to important historical moments the family has had with things like self-determination, conflict, expression.”

Most in the art world know the name Tony Abeyta. He is, as Hanley says, “a rockstar,” but the Wheelwright’s broadened scope includes pieces from the expanded Abeyta clan, including patriarch Narciso Abeyta—a one-time Navajo code talker and artist who rubbed shoulders with the likes of Fritz Scholder and Allan Houser in his time.

“I think the show really looks at this sort of idea that this family of artists played a larg-

er role and had a larger impact not only on the art world, but the Native world,” Hanley continues. “Pablita had her lobbying work and the Smithsonian; Elizabeth was sort of this pioneer in terms of immersing herself into the modernization of the Southwest and its art scene; and Tony, well, the work speaks for itself.”

What this means for the scope of the show’s pieces is inestimably exciting.

Sculpture, illustration, jewelry, ceramics, paintings—the list goes on. And while as much credit as possible goes to the ongoing Abeyta dynasty for their seemingly tireless contributions to the ever-evolving Indigenous arts world, you’ve really gotta hand it to Hanley for somehow gathering a cohesive show from so many decades of work.

“You look at this family and all the things they’ve done, and it’s important for us to talk about that,” she concludes. “Thinking about all those beautiful things that connect these works, looking at tribal ideas of art and memory...it broadens our ideas of Native American art history through this amazing, dynamic family. It protects our collective memory through creativity, agency, sovereignty.” (Alex De Vore) ABEYTA | TO’HAJIILEE K’É 10 am-4 pm daily through Jan. 7. 2023 By admission Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian 704 Camino Lejo, (505) 982-4636

MONA MAKELA

With performer Theo Kutsko

Now wrapping up their final year at New Mexico School for the Arts, singer/pianist/actor/all-around performer Theo Kutsko has been rounding out a loaded schedule and college applications with weekly cabaret-style performances over at Sage Inn’s Social Kitchen+Bar (6 pm Thursday, Feb. 17. Free. 725 Cerrillos Road, (505) 982-5952).

With a combo of musical theater greatness and iconic classic rock monster jamz courtesy of Queen, Elton John and other titans, Kutsko, who was recently accepted to Berklee College of Music, brings the heat through two of our country’s greatest artistic exports. You can catch Kutsko as Fester in their school’s upcoming musical production of The Addams Family this April, you’ll find them behind a piano on Thursdays, you can learn more on this very page.

(Alex De Vore) What about classic rock and musicals speaks to you as a performer, and how are you finding ways to merge those interests?

I’ve just grown up listening to both musicals and classic rock more than any other kinds of music. I saw Wicked when I was 4, and I’ve been in love with theater ever since. I’ve also been listening to Queen since I was very little, so that’s a part of my interest in it; but also as someone who is an LGBTQ musician, I really take my main inspiration from other musicians who write about the same things I go through. I like learning about and hearing about these things I can relate to. I love Elton John, Queen and, in musicals

form, Falsettos and Rent.

When I felt like I wanted to do musical theater was really once I got into Falsettos in the 8th grade. I liked musicals before that, like Rent and Hamilton and In the Heights, but Falsettos was such a good work of theater that I knew wanted to pursue it. That’s how I chose my major at NMSA. I thought, ‘I’m pretty good at my music outside of school, and I like doing my visual arts as a hobby, but musical theater is something I want to do.’ I just love performing in any way. With the cabaret genre, which is what I’m doing at Social Kitchen right now, I get to combine all of these different interests of mine: ’70s songs, Broadway and newer songs that I think are interesting and fun—I get to combine them all into this big showcase every week. Really, I just like performing in any capacity.

Do you compose as well? Do you have plans to write, record and release your own jams at any point?

I like experimenting with composition, and some of the college courses I’m looking at right now offer more information on composing. It’s definitely something I want to get more into, but I haven’t really gone super in-depth with it currently as I’m so focused on being in different shows and doing this other music I like. I’m gathering my interests and sounds. The songs I write end up being very theatrical in a Jonathan Larson kind of sense.

What would you want would-be audiences to know about your current live show?

What I’ve been telling all these colleges I’ve been doing interviews for, when they ask me, ‘where do you see yourself?’ I always say I’m going to perform no matter what— that’s where I see myself going.

Doesn’t matter if it’s cabaret, like what I’m doing currently, or in a different city; on Broadway on a big stage, or on a tour. I’m going to be there, I’m going to be doing that. It just shows I’m on that path. I like to put on the best performance, be it to an audience of one or two, or to a full-packed house, I just love to perform. Even if you are not familiar or uninterested in those few genres, I put on a show that you don’t want to miss.

Crepe Expectations French restaurant and bakery Mille is killing it right out of the gate

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

W

ith no thanks to the woman in line who rudely announced “You can close that door!” as I attempted to wade into the crowd at Alameda Street’s Mille last week—which now inhabits the former Bouche location—I need everyone else to know how wildly impressive Santa Fe’s newest eatery is, especially given Marcel and Stephanie Remillieux only opened it up a scant few weeks ago. Mayhap you’ve heard it’s uncouth to review a restaurant that’s just opened its doors. True and fair enough, but the Remillieuxs clearly know what they’re doing after years running Los Alamos restaurant Fleur de Lys, which opened in 2017, so this is a special consideration.

Besides, Mille (451 W Alameda St., (505) 930-5492) is, in a word, excellent.

Perhaps there’s something to be said for scientists entering the foodservice sphere as the Remillieuxs have. Just look at John Rowley over there at Rowley Farmhouse Ales, for instance; homeboy’s killing it, and the same can be said at Mille. During a recent sojourn with an old friend, we learned the fresh new eatery’s popularity has as much to do with great food as it does its newness, and it’s easy to assume things will improve.

A quick note, though, to advise those concerned with closeness that Mille’s door on Water Street leads into a bit of chaos at busy times. Counter service is never an issue for those who want a crepe or something badly enough, but at Mille it still feels a little tense standing among so many others. Chalk it up to the pandemic and the two-ish years we all just spent being terrified to get close to people, but the line and those who comprised it felt like it might bubble over at any moment. It didn’t, for what that’s worth, and such a thing is a small price to pay. Your time in said line is easily spent ogling numerous sweet treats,

anyway, from mascarpone tarts and overstuffed eclairs to a colorful array of macarons the likes of which we haven’t seen since Chaine Peña moved out of her Water Street cookie establishment (though, we hear, she’s weighing options for a larger location).

Speaking of those macarons, it was hard to select the right cookies to start, but someone had to do it. After carefully observing and torturously going back and forth, we selected the salted caramel and rosé varieties ($5 for the pair). The caramel, unsurprisingly, tasted as advertised, though one can never go wrong in a marriage betwixt savory and sweet. The rosé macaron sang, however, especially in how it kind of snuck up on us. It had an almost fizzy mouth feel, like Champagne, the real stuff, and the rosy flavor unfolded satisfyingly well after the initial bite. No joke, it might have been the

best macaron I’ve ever tried, and it was almost enough to make us both feel silly for having ordered sweeter brunchy items. The heart wants what it wants, I guess.

For the main event, I opted for a Nutella crepe with strawberries and fresh whipped cream ($7.50 without strawberries; an added $1.50 for the fruit), of which my dining companion noted, “I lived on those when I

We’ve got a nutella crepe with strawberries in the front, French toast in the back, and the image below doesn’t even cover a third of the things Mille has all up in its pastry case.

was in Paris.” Now, I grant you that Nutella might not be a specialty item or particularly hard to find, and that a battle raged within me over that dish, the quiche florentine ($9.25) and the di parma baguette sandwich with baby arugula, balsamic vinegar and a fig glaze (plus prosciutto without substitutions, but still doable for vegetarians; $8.90), but I was bewitched by the pastry case and my sweet tooth activated.

Served hot with mountains of whipped cream, the Nutella melted into an enticing saucelike consistency all wrapped within the crepe’s many folds. In tandem with the strawberries, it became such a brilliant range of textures and flavors that I literally whispered “Ohmygod,” to myself. My companion, meanwhile, ordered a single slice of French toast which, at $10, sounded a bit over-expensive.

When served with whipped cream, plus chocolate and raspberry sauces, it revealed itself a decent value. Sadly, she said, her toast came slightly burnt—but this was during peak hours in a brand new restaurant and, she said, she’d order it again anytime.

Mille also serves fresh coffee from 35 North, a tragically underrated local company with a storefront in the Santa Fe Arcade on the Plaza. I tend to shy away from most downtown restaurant coffees as they’re often burnt varieties from the only-OK Aroma. At Mille, however, someone clearly

knows the value of a robust cup, and other than requesting cream from our food runner that never arrived, it was one of the better blends I’ve had outside of the dedicated downtown coffeeshops. You’ll find a full-on coffee menu at Mille, too, and once the weather gets a little nicer, the thought of a plein aire croissant with an Americano or some such sounds divine. Mille’s patio looks gorgeous, too, though it was a little too chilly to make that commitment during our visit. Yes, the patio is ostensibly heated, though we couldn’t find a table with adequate warmth. It’s also worth noting that the find-your-own-table system is perhaps rife with tension. More than once I made uncomfortable eye contact with my fellow diners in the line as we surveyed the dining room for a flat surface; one wonders whether they’ll find themselves with an order placed for dine-in and nowhere to sit and enjoy it.

That is, of course, where the bit about whether it’s too early to review a new spot comes in, though I’m convinved Mille will only improve, especially with polite customer feedback and lessons learned from running a restaurant in Santa Fe. Remember that parking for that stretch of downtown is challenging in the best of times (though Mille does have a small lot; first come, first served) and a circle or two around the block usually yields a space. And these are surface-level issues, anyway. The main point is that the Remillieuxs seem to have something special going on, and folks looking for a cassoulet or a monte cristo finally have a place to hang their hat.

What is Anti-Racist Poetry?

BY DA R RY L LO R E N ZO W E L L I N GTO N a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

H

ow do you simultaneously make a statement and write a good poem? The question is on the table, and there is no better time to address it than Black History Month, when we’re surrounded by stories of Black accomplishment and ongoing protest.

Furthermore, we can’t address what anti-racist poetry is, exactly, without first asking ourselves, “What is racism?” We must first define it, so that writers, poets and others can dismantle it.

Of course, I can’t easily do that, but I can offer examples that relate to yet a third common question, and one that pertains to my own life: Have you encountered racism in Santa Fe? I ask with particular urgency, as I am a Black American who is also the Santa Fe poet laureate and somewhat in the public eye. People have asked me whether the position has been accompanied by any racist retaliation or misunderstandings—a sensitive question, to say the least, and the answer depends on how you define racism. Or, possibly, the answer illustrates different aspects of racism.

It isn’t hard to recognize thuggish and blatant racism, though, thank goodness, that hasn’t been a common experience of mine here in Santa Fe. But it has happened. I recently sent out an announcement through the website Meetup.com for a poetry workshop. Interestingly, I received a response (you don’t often receive replies through Meetup), and I soon saw the sender’s motive: It was an excuse to send a racist insult—a stereotypical Black image alongside a caption reading, “[N-word], don’t send me any more messages on Meetup.”

I unapologetically responded with, “Dummy, if you don’t want to receive messages on Meetup, unsubscribe from Meetup.”

Ahem. I congratulated myself for my relatively tempered response. This was an unfortunate incident, but I don’t think my readers disagree that it exemplifies racism.

Enough said. Even so, the more common

This is what a poet laureate looks like.

experience for Brown and Black people who assume public positions is to encounter condescension, disbelief or skepticism about whether one is the best person for the job, or whether one is legitimate. Take the woman at a market where I was selling my books who pointed at me and said, “Him? That’s the poet laureate?” I might as well have been a museum piece. I stood less than a foot away, but she never requested my own testimony regarding my identity.

She turned to another person and asked again, sounding puzzled and slightly disbelieving: “He’s the poet laureate?!”

The incidents described above both provide material for anti-racist poetry.

The first inspires indignation, while the other encourages reflection on the nuances of stereotyping, dehumanization and casual social slights. The first narrative strips away the facade; racism revealed in the raw is atavistic and ugly. In the second instance, racism is expressed in a less direct way. It’s like a scale that has a high, and a low pitch, and a writer who appre-

ciates both is better prepared to say something important.

It’s the masterful ability to evoke blatant racism’s arbitrary cruelty, alongside less visible innuendo, and commonplace micro-aggressive behavior that makes Claudia Rankine’s highly successful 2014 book-length poem Citizen: An American Lyric such a jolting read. The historical impact of slavery, whippings and contemporary psychological conflicts are simultaneously evoked in this description of two colleagues driving when one makes a racist slur. An argument ensues: “Why do you feel okay saying this to me? You wish the light would turn red or a police siren would go off so you could slam on the brakes, slam into the car ahead of you, be propelled forward so quickly both your faces would suddenly be exposed to the wind.”

Notice how the “you” in the passage could be either the insulted person of color or the self-entitled aggressor?

Often, I’ve found, writers during Black History Month will pen praise poems extolling the greatness of some Black leader, or their love for Black music and letters. I can easily name great works, like Robert Hayden’s “Frederick Douglass,” but the genre can be limiting. I caution against believing a praise poem is always the most powerful example of an anti-racist poem.

The danger comes when celebratory tributes risk simplifying racism to the point they avoid challenging subject matter.

I’ve often encountered Black History Month poems by white writers that begin, “I love Jazz,” or “I love Black dance,” like laundry lists. If the poet is only concerned with highlighting their wokeness while name-dropping, the poem is the rough equivalent of bragging how “I have so many Black friends.” Such pieces lack the most important component of good poetry. That’s empathy. If you’re marginalized, othered or oppressed, the goal is to break through the walls and have readers achieve identification and empathy with your situation; if you’re privileged, male or white, the goal is to empathize until your worldview is transformed, and write from there.

How open are you to identifying with the narratives I told earlier? Can you picture me opening an email, expecting to communicate with a poet, then discovering a racist slur? Can you relate your feelings to history and legacy? Can you resist the immediate urge to dismiss one small incident and instead weigh what it may say about this place, this time and this country? If so, you’re ready to write anti-racist poetry.

Marry Me Review This is very unnecessary; it can only do harm

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

While it’s unexpected the new paint-by-numbers Jennifer Lopez/Owen Wilson rom-com Marry Me is based on a web comic by Bobby Crosby, it’s very much expected that it’s so completely terrible you’d be better off watching paint dry. Don’t heed the Peacock streaming app from NBC and its not-so-subliminal reminders to watch this steaming pile of garbage (several per hour at last count); do literally anything else: Slam your hand in a rusty old gate. Break your leg on purpose. Catch up on old Full House episodes— just don’t do this.

J-Lo is Kat Valdez, a pop sensation about to marry her former producer/current songwriting and performance partner Bastian (Colombian superstar Maluma) in the most public of ways (while also releasing the hot jam “Marry Me”) when she learns he cheated, and with her assistant, no less. Panicking, Kat spies math teacher Charlie (Wilson) in the crowd with a sign reading “Marry Me” that was foisted upon him by his totally super-fun best bud Parker (Sarah “This Character Only Drives Plot and Serves No Other Purpose” Silverman), who also dragged him to the show. “OK,” Kat says. “I’ll marry you.”

And so she does, thrusting the mild-mannered Charlie into a world of attention for which he was ill-prepared. Pulled from the romantic comedy trope file, Charlie’s a handsome-esque single dad with a super-smart kid and has just been too darned focused

MOVIES

+ YOU CAN TURN IT OFF - INAUTHENTIC, UGLY, WORTHY OF DESTRUCTION

From the moment Lennie’s (Grace Kaufman) horrid opening voiceover begins, The Sky Is Everywhere might introduce you to an innerhatred you didn’t think possible. We can talk a lot about the get-rich-quick scheme that is YA literature, and we can reasonably discuss whatever virtues are hidden away in such lines as, “I don’t want to live in fear, I want to live in life.” Regardless, if you make it through The Sky Is Everywhere on Apple TV+, don’t be surprised if banning movies forever suddenly seems like a great plan.

Here find your typical YA horse fodder wherein the youths are more connected to culture and reality than the quirky hippie adults who smoke too much weed and are somehow in charge. Will Smith was right—parents just don’t understand. These teenagers obsess over English literature, classical music and Catholic saints for some reason. Why? In this obviously faux world, Lennie tries to get over her sister’s shocking death, and director Josephine Decker beats us over the head with this setup again

on dadding and being a totally awesome math teacher to go looking for love. All kinds of other boring things happen, but suffice it to say what Kat thinks might be a pretty sweet media stunt, despite objections from her manager Colin (Game of Thrones’ John Bradley for some reason), turns into a real relationship. Then they’re briefly ripped apart. Then they get back together because of grand romantic gesture.

Setting aside Wilson’s absolutely wooden phoneit-in-performance (who did he piss off to be sentenced to this movie?), it’s understandable why Lopez would star in such dreck: She at least gets a couple of toothless pop songs (read, income streams) out of the deal. They’re forgettable songs, but people will download them. Marry Me is otherwise borderline glib about celebrity obsession, social media addiction, co-dependence and personal space. For every moment it creeps up to a semi-insightful moment about the unhealthy cult of the famous or misogyny or bullying, it pulls back to Wilson or J-Lo doing something “adorable.”

and again and again and again: Lennie is sad, but she wants to kiss a boy real bad. Maybe it’ll be her dead sister’s boyfriend (Pico Alexander), or maybe it’ll be musical fuckboi Joe (Jacques Colimon)? Who knows, but Lennie screams a lot, runs away into the woods a lot, writes poetry on leaves a lot and somehow feels better.

Rinse-repeat-rinse-repeat-rinse-repeat.

Even tweens and teens will likely feel like this is some condescending nonsense, for Sky is a laboriously inauthentic film in its own emotions and, perhaps, in how it conveys human emotions as a whole. This feel-hard flick exists in a cupcake-frosting-colored palate with cartoon slide whistles, silly sound effects and, most perplexingly, cartoon springy sounds to signify male erections. The dialogue is so putrid your employer can’t blame you for calling in sick the next day.

Why is sad Lennie so desirable? Because she’s there, of course. Elsewhere, the cinematography reads like a Looney Tunes vignette that somehow believes itself Amélie, but aesthetic surrealism is meaningless when there’s no soul to justify its eccentricities. If only this vapid middle class dreamsicle could be the last of the young adult book adaptations that haunt us. Our luck won’t be so grand, will it? (Riley Gardner) Apple TV+, NR , 103 min

Charlie’s kid, of course, is sassy and wise beyond her years; there’s a cute dog for comedic moments so banal it probably hurt Utkarsh Ambudkar (Brittany Runs a Marathon), an actual comic talent who gets shoehorned into the final act for reasons unknown.

Sorry, bud, you’re too good for this.

And so are we, discerning audiences. Or we should be. Romantic comedies can be glorious escapes with actual intelligence, messaging or value. Marry Me is a commercial for J-Lo songs that now bears the dubious distinction of least chemistry between a couple in a movie since Dwayne Johnson starred opposite a CGI ape in Rampage. Please don’t let your kids watch this. Please don’t watch it yourself. Boo! Filth! Slime!

Muck! Rubbish! Boo! Oh, see? Princess Bride is a GREAT rom-com.

OLIVERIO Y LA PISCINA

6

+ STRONG FOUNDATION; HONEST PORTRAYALS OF GRIEF

- LOSES ITSELF AS IT GOES ON

Oli (young Alex Warren’s first performance, and quite a good one) is wise above his years. Well, maybe. It’s hard to tell how old he is. Regardless, his family is already crumbling when his father (Jacobo Lieberman) dies from a sudden brain aneurysm, turning the household into a place of blame and regret. Reeling, Oli decides he’ll take over a chaise lounge by the pool, maybe for the rest of his life, and it seems no one can bring him back to a semblance of a normal life. His by-the-book mother (Mónica Huarte) grieves alone.

To its credit, Oliverio y la Piscina establishes a lush atmosphere. Director Arcadi Palerm’s first feature-length is a great looking film and reminiscent of 2017’s Columbus (especially the choice in architecture and how that reflects in the characters), yet what begins as a moving portrait of sudden grief and the typical blame-games that often follow becomes as murky as an unfiltered pool.

The simplicity of its conflicts is interesting enough: Is Oli demonstrating actual grief, or is it performative? Ultimately, that question is superfluous, and Oliverio offers no surprises. Instead, it

traipses down a route so traditional you could set your watch to it. Tone becomes the larger element at that point, though while cohesive and solid in its first half thanks to a relatable and accurate portrayal of grief, forced coming-of-age elements—including young love in the midst of grief—do a lot of heavy lifting in the sagging second and third acts.

So-so computer effects permeate fantasy sequences to the point where one wonders why, if a film delves into magical realism, can it not commit? Huarte is an absolute delight as the grieving mother, however, and provides much-needed energy. Even so, her contributions spur a cartoony atmosphere that further complicates what it is, exactly, that we’re supposed to feel.

Dramedy can work and often does, but it helps when a film’s elements blend into the absurdity and tragedy of everyday life, or its more fantastical facets, rather than attempting to split the difference and coming up too short in both arenas. Oliverio y la Piscina lays down a solid foundation and touching moments, though, even if its naturalism fizzles into a series of confusing screenplay choices that feel like the filmmakers were trying to make the type of film that’s expected of them rather than what they really wanted to do. At least you won’t be bored.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re slipping into a phase when stuff that has been invisible will become visible, at least to you. You will have extra power to peer beneath the surfaces and discern the hidden agendas and study the deeper workings. Your interest in trivia and distractions will dissipate, and you’ll feel intensified yearnings to home in on core truths. Here’s your guiding principle during this time: Favor the interests of the soul over those of the ego.

But sometimes it locks the door and you have to find the key, or pick the lock, or knock the damn thing down. And sometimes, it doesn’t even show you the door, and you have to build it yourself.”

And that’s the perfect message for you to hear right now. If you choose to take advantage of the potentials that life is offering you, you will explore and experiment with the mysteries of self-discipline and self-command. You’ll be a trailblazer of discernment and poise.

You will indulge in and enjoy the pleasures of self-regulation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 1961, Piscean cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first human to orbit the Earth in a spacecraft. As his feat neared its end, Gagarin left the capsule at 20,000 feet above the ground and parachuted the rest of the way. He arrived in a turnip field where a girl and her grandmother were working. They provided him with a horse and cart so he could travel to the nearest telephone and make a call to get picked up and brought back to headquarters. I foresee a metaphorically comparable series of events transpiring in your life, Pisces. Be flexible and adaptable as you adjust to changing conditions with changing strategies. Your exceptional and illustrious activities may require the assistance of humble influences.
