FOOD, JANUARY 23: “MODERN TACO”

ACTING OUT, JAN. 23: “THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT”

A FEW MORE Kudos to Charlotte Jusinski for her column on theater kids. So many of the myths she talks about are universal and timeless—I found myself nodding my head and confirming so many from my time in the theater. There are a few embellishments I would like to add: ...

The men are all gay—not true! Fun fact: Straight men that choose to do a show will do quite well for themselves, socially. ... And to all boys and men—we need more of you to show up and play. There has been a big decline in your numbers onstage over the past few years!

Theater kids all love Halloween—my theater kid does, for sure, but when I was in high school we were always in rehearsal and Halloween became an afterthought.

There is a canon of shows that everyone has done—this is a great list (I did six of the shows mentioned). Can I add Pippin, Godspell and The Glass Menagerie?

One more myth—theater kids are vain and self-centered loners. I am happy to say that my theater friends from high school and college remain the ones I am closest and most loyal to—and it warms my heart to see my daughter building these same relationships now at New Mexico School for the Arts.

TACOMANIA I’m kind of sad to see a review of a restaurant that is based on being better than street tacos.

Certainly we’ve had enough elitist dialogue. ...

Pardon me, common street taco? What’s that?

I’ve found more brilliantly seasoned fully integrated tacos where the tortilla is important on carts than restaurants. ...

[Andale!’s] stuff is fantastic [1006 Marquez Place, 316-0612]. He gets his tortillas in Española and you notice them right away.

Yummy. Go compare and it won’t cost $7 per taco, as with the shrimp tacos in the photo for your review.

I’m really tired of elitist reviews that try to justify outrageous prices and smear honest people who often produce a far better product.

Do some research and you will be delighted, I’m sure journalists aren’t often millionaires.

Thanks for your reporting. See if you would rather eat there, or ... ?

Unpacking New Mexico’s Cannabis Bill

N

ew Mexico’s much-anticipated cannabis bill landed in the Legislature last week.

Compared with frameworks in 10 other states that have legalized the plant, HB 356 has some cutting-edge features, such as a mandate to direct funds from recreational cannabis sales to subsidize the medical cannabis program, which has been a longstanding demand of New Mexico patient advocates.

The bill also directs the regulating body—which would be established as the Cannabis Control Division in the Regulation and Licensing Department—to create “procedures that promote and encourage full participation in the cannabis industry” of people harmed by cannabis prohibition, an acknowledgement of the decades-long Drug War’s failures and disproportionate negative impacts on non-white people.

Beyond those two provisions, the bill includes a tax structure that would end up more costly for consumers than its equivalents in other states, and includes language to fund a variety of social and research programs.

There are also some contradictions— mainly, that the bill would create new severe penalties even as it eliminates old ones.

Below are the four takeaways from the 140-page bill, first due for consideration by two House committees before a potential floor vote. Then to the Senate.

1. LOCAL IMPACT The bill outlines two primary ways local jurisdictions would be affected.

First, cities and counties have the option of banning cannabis retailers (a business roughly equivalent to “dispensaries” under the medical cannabis program). They would also be able to level civil penalties and regulate people licensed to grow cannabis at home.

But that’s about where their power to ban pot ends under this proposal.

Local governments would not be able

Meet the 2019 Cannabis Regulation Act

What’s legal under

New Mexico’s cannabis legalization bill?

1. Possessing, using and transporting 2 ounces or less of cannabis (or 16 grams of extract).

OZ

2. JUSTICE FOR THE DRUG WAR Besides directing the new Cannabis Control Division to promote the inclusion of people with past cannabis convictions in a new industry—including through the licensing of “mircobusinesses”—the bill says state agencies “shall not” keep records of people arrested or convicted for cannabis distribution or possession beyond two years.

For people currently locked up on cannabis-related charges, the jail or prison holding them would have 30 days to notify the court that the prisoner’s case should be reopened to consider dismissal of his or her sentence. People with convictions for cannabis on their records would be able to ask the court for dismissal or re-designation to lesser infractions.

Yet, the bill creates some serious new penalties. For example, penalties for having more than the allowable 2 ounces of flower (or 16 grams of extract) range from misdemeanors to felonies, and anyone of the ages 18, 19 or 20 caught growing cannabis could be charged with a felony. However, the bill stipulates that anybody charged with these offenses can expect to have their records wiped clean two years after arrest or conviction.

OZ

2. Up to two people in a household can each grow up to six mature plants and six immature plants with a personal license. Having more is a felony.

3. There’s a $50 fine for smoking in a public area, but vaping it is fine.

4. There’s a $25 fine for producing cannabis in public.

5. It’s a felony for a person who is 18, 19 or 20 years old to grow their own cannabis.

6. It’s a felony to use volatile solvents to manufacture cannabis extracts without a license.

SOURCE: HB 356

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

to prohibit the transportation of cannabis on public roads, nor could they ban licensed medical dispensaries or personal grows. They would have to ensure any retail shop selling cannabis was at least 300 feet away from any school, church or daycare center.

Cities and counties could opt to impose an excise tax of up to 3 percent on cannabis sales in their jurisdictions.

This would come on top of a 9 percent excise tax from the state applied to the price of a cannabis product. All taxes, the bill says, would be collected at the point of purchase, which is different from some other states. Colorado, for example, imposes an excise tax when cultivators transfer or sell cannabis to retailers in addition to a sales tax on consumer purchases. In New Mexico, customers would bear all the taxes.

3. HOW RECREATIONAL IMPACTS MEDICAL A portion of the state’s excise tax on cannabis sales would go to a “health and safety fund” housed in the Department of Health to subsidize medical cannabis purchases by licensed patients. As a result of this fund and taxes on recreational sales, a gross receipts tax currently levied on medical cannabis purchases would disappear.

NEWS

“This is something I think is pretty unique to our bill in New Mexico,” Emily Kaltenbach of the advocacy group Drug Policy Alliance tells SFR. The provision was also partially inspired by Colorado, where the medical cannabis supply was eclipsed by a recreational supply that emphasizes the THC compound over the non-psychoactive CBD, she says.

In addition to subsidizing medical cannabis purchases, the fund would support a public campaign promoting safe use by adults and abstinence for people under 21.

If the bill passes this year, current holders of nonprofit producer licenses for medical dispensaries that want to transition to recreational retail shops can apply for temporary licenses that the Cannabis Control Division is expected to hand out by the start of 2020. The shops would be required to get full certification after the division promulgates final regulations.

4. ESTABLISHING COMMUNITY GRANTS AND RESEARCH FUNDING The bill would establish another fund—a community grants reinvestment program—to funnel dollars toward nonprofit organizations or governmental entities that provide social services to people affected by past Drug War policies.

These include job placement programs, mental health and substance abuse treatment, legal services “to address barriers faced by formerly incarcerated persons” such as housing discrimination, and reproductive care for women. Grants can also go to programs for children who are in or out of school and at-risk for substance abuse and homelessness.

In addition, the bill establishes a research program at the University of New Mexico’s Health Sciences Center to study, among other things, whether there’s a link between cannabis and other drug use, its effects on opioid dependence, public safety issues relating to cannabis and whether limits on advertisements are effective in preventing weed use among kids.

Finally, the local DWI grant program in the state treasury would be amended so that cities and counties could receive grants to develop “best practices” for monitoring high driving. This paradigm assumes driving drunk and driving high are analogous, although research from around the country suggests the latter is safer, roughly the equivalent of driving with a blood alcohol concentration between .01 and .05 percent. The presumed level of alcohol intoxication in New Mexico is 0.08 percent.

Could local forecasts add to skier safety?

MORGAN TIMMS / THE TAOS NEWS

New Mexico Missing Avalanche Info Center

Rescuers form lines to probe for people buried in an avalanche at the bottom of Kachina Peak on Jan. 17 at Taos Ski Valley.

BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he fatal avalanche that caught two men in their 20s inbounds at Taos Ski Valley on Thursday Jan. 17 has prompted a lot of questions, starting with “How did this happen?” and running to “What do we do next?”

The skiers were near the K3 chute of Kachina Peak, some of the mountain’s steepest terrain. Matthew Zonghetti, 26, of Massachusetts, died later that day at the Holy Cross Hospital in Taos. Corey Borg-Massanari, 22, from Colorado, died at the University of New Mexico Hospital days later.

After the slide started just before noon, ski patrol and witnesses immediately began a rescue operation, according to a statement provided by the ski area. Probes and avalanche dogs searched for people in a debris pile news reports estimated at 10 yards deep, 150 yards long, and 50 yards wide. The Taos News photographer Morgan Timms was on the scene and reported that a witness to the avalanche said, “It sounded like an earthquake coming.”

Ski patrollers work to mitigate avalanches throughout the season, and Taos patrollers had been at it as recently as that morning. But it’s a tough job: The conditions and terrain prime for skiing are also prime for avalanches. Yet even with 556 million skier visits nationwide each year, only 12 of 258 reported avalanche

deaths in the last 10 ski seasons occurred inbounds, according to data from the National Ski Areas Association, and a significant number of those were ski patrollers doing snow safety work.

“An inbounds avalanche is extraordinarily rare and a situation like this has never happened at Taos Ski Valley before,” reads a statement issued from Taos Ski Valley on Jan. 18. Taos Ski Valley staff said that because the ski area is still conducting an accident review, they are not making further comments at this time.

While fatalities are rare, avalanches are not. On Thursday Jan. 17, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center had issued an avalanche watch for the San Juan Mountains in south-central Colorado.

The northern portion of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, which stretches as far south as Santa Fe, was forecast as at moderate risk.

Yet New Mexico is currently without an avalanche forecasting center. A volunteer center closed last winter. On the National Avalanche Center nationwide map, which relies on data from Colorado, the Sangre de Cristos are treated as though they abruptly stop at the Colorado state line, and indicators of risk are cut off on a hard line.

No public agency nor the ski area has yet issued a determination about what triggered the avalanche in Taos. Changing temperatures over recent weeks or even over the course of the day can contribute, as can wind. In 2010, when a record-setting number of skiers died inbounds in the

nation, SKI Magazine pointed to ski area expansions into increasingly steep terrain once only the domain of those willing to venture out of bounds or into hike-to terrain.

That’s the case at the Kachina Lift, completed in 2015 to access expertonly runs previously available solely to those willing to hike the ridgeline for an hour. The lift opened for this season on Tuesday Jan. 15. Poor visibility closed the peak again on Wednesday Jan. 16.

The Colorado Avalanche Information Center tallies the total nationwide fatalities from avalanches, whether people are skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling or hiking. Its annual reports going back to the 2009-10 winter show between 11 and 36 annually. Some deaths have been reported from “sidecountry,” or terrain near ski lifts but beyond the ski area boundary, a term the National Ski Areas Association has begun discouraging for perpetuating an illusion that this area is less dangerous.

These two fatalities at Taos are the only ones reported in New Mexico in a decade.

Snowfall this year generates a buzz— powder always does, but folks seem especially thirsty following a brutally thin season last year.

“It’s kind of a double-edged sword that, as soon as we get an increase of snow or wind, everyone gets excited because it means powder skiing. But it also typically means an increase in avalanche instability and an increase in avalanche danger,” says Andy Bond, who ran the now-closed Taos

NEWS

Avalanche Center. “When we deal with new snow, the avalanche danger is quick to rise because you’re adding more stress and weight onto potentially weak layers, then it’s slow to fall off.”

The Taos Avalanche Center, a nonprofit that provided avalanche forecasts specific to New Mexico, closed due to lack of both funding and snow in February 2018.

In Colorado, the Department of Transportation relies on the state’s avalanche information center to predict potential road impacts, so the state helps fund the center. Without a center to run here, Bond has gone to Antarctica, where he’s been guiding scientists studying the Thwaites Glacier.

“For me, personally, what I feel like the avalanche center can do is provide avalanche awareness in the state of New Mexico, and education as well as a safety product and messaging for backcountry users,” Bond says. “My hope is to get that back up and running.”

Future programming could include hosting avalanche education courses and awareness talks, as well as providing the public forecasts and snowpack information.

Ski areas make do without the center’s forecasts.

“More information is always better. But that being said, for us in particular, I don’t think that we’re missing out too terribly,” says Ben Abruzzo, mountain manager for Ski Santa Fe. The resort has previously delayed opening for hours to check those risks and take steps to address them.

“Based on our terrain, the probability of an avalanche of any magnitude at Ski Santa Fe is very unlikely,” he says. “However, in the correct snowpack, on the right day, in the right conditions, it exists, which is why on those days we do go out … and the ski patrol does some preventative risk-mitigation steps before we open.”

With the trends in climate change reducing the state’s snowpack, does New Mexico really need an avalanche center?

“We honestly had one of the worst years on record, and it’s hard to keep the motivation or keep the ‘Why is this avalanche center operating?’ on a bad year.

But we need to have consistency through the bad years to then be able to provide services in years like this,” Bond says. “I think that’s one of the challenges the avalanche center will face.”

The crux for expert skiers is that fun terrain—like much of that at Taos—is pitched at the angle most prone to avalanches.

“I don’t want people to be afraid,” Bond says, “but be aware that you’re skiing in the exact terrain where avalanches can happen.”

25 LOVE

“If it bleeds, it leads” just isn’t true at SFR. And this week, it’s all the more so. We’re more into love notes.

Help us kick off the Best of Santa Fe 2019 annual readers poll nomination period by voting online between Feb. 1 and March 17 for your faves (SFReporter.com/bosf) in 150 categories.

And right now, celebrate some of the things we love about Santa Fe.

The smell of piñon burning when you step outside 1

There is nothing in the world like stepping into a cold Santa Fe night and catching a whiff of burning piñon wafting from someone’s chimney. It’s glorious. To some, it smells sweet.

To others, there’s a distinct red chile aroma. Or a sweatiness. Whatever it is that’s tickling your olfactory nerve endings, it’s a New Mexico scent that’s immediately recognizable and likely attached to some fond memory you have of a winter night.

A writer for New York magazine described an incense based off it as “strong enough to linger for a day 12

or two, but not overpowering or occultish.” True enough, we suppose, though she also described having to relight the incense as akin to tending a fire and the whole thing as smelling like Vail, which does not have piñons in anywhere near the abundance you’d need to have enough fires and concomitant smoke to say “Hey, this smells like Vail!”

But we digress.

The smell of burning piñon can’t help but make you happier and cozier than you were just a moment before.

And for that, we love it. (Matt Grubs)

Sweet and fragrant, sometimes nutty with a hint of umami in the aftertaste, sake is truly one of the world’s most delightful alcoholic beverages. And there are few places in this hemisphere that are better for getting to know the world of sake than Izanami (21 Ten Thousand Waves Way, 982-9304).

“We have arguably the best selections in the country,” I overhear Mateo Miller, Izanami’s sake sommelier, tell another lunch diner. The restaurant imports much of its selection directly, and features the largest offering of coveted unpasteurized nama sakes in the US.

For Santa Feans interested in an in-depth education in sake types and culture, Izanami continues its 38 Days of Sake passport program through March 3.

Each week the restaurant features a different sampler flight that highlights a specific aspect of the brewing process. You get a complimentary booklet that explains everything you need to know to become a sake connoisseur, and if you still have questions you can just ask one of the restaurant’s highly educated front of house staff, over half of whom have traveled to Japan to learn directly from the source.

You can get a kickass cup of coffee

We’re journalists, OK? Which means we have a coffee problem. As in, we drink it too much. All the time. Every day. All day. As such, we’ve developed quite a taste for the stuff, and we don’t think it’s out of line to assume our palate has evolved a certain level of sophistication. In other words, we know where the good stuff is, and the good stuff, as it happens, is everywhere.

Say you’re on the Plaza, and a hankering washes over you. Easy—head to Holy Spirit Espresso (225 W San Francisco St., 920-3664), a literal hole in the wall with fantastic brews.

Hanging around midtown? No problem—those at Java Joe’s (1248 Siler Road, 930-5763) know what to do.

What about the St. Francis Corridor? Ohori’s (1098 1/2 S St. Francis Drive, 982-9692). Boom—next! Oh, you’re over on St. Michael’s Drive and searching for a cup? Hit up Iconik Coffee Roasters, (1600 Lena St., 428-0996)! You’ve got the sort ofnew places like Caveman Coffee Cave & Lounge (411 W Water St.,

988-8042; they’ll put beer in your coffee), the brand new places like REMIX Audio Bar (101 W Marcy St.; they also do a continually running silent disco) and other wonderful spots we just don’t have room for here.

The moral? You’re always within a block or two of one of the best cups o’ coffee of your life. Act like it.

(Alex De Vore )

Giant icy flakes were pelting my cheeks and the streets were quickly getting slick and annoying. But I was ambling toward Del Charro with a purpose. So when the guy passing me on the sidewalk asked “Do you think it’s going to snow?” with a genuine happiness, I turned over my shoulder.

“I think so.” I couldn’t help a laugh. “Have a good night, man.”

“You, too.”

It’s not unusual at all to talk to strangers in Santa Fe—in our jubilation, in our distress, when we’re just mediocre and getting ’er done.

We celebrate what we’ve heard people in the big places hide from.

We say good morning when we walk past each other, or as we dust off our gloves and hats on the counter at the post office. (We also wait patiently

Our radio stations are pretty cool

while the other customers have human-being-like conversations.

And the same rule goes for when two cars have stopped in the road facing opposite directions so the drivers can check in.) We join the happy birthday song for the other table in the restaurant.

Sure, we don’t have a subway, but we totally chat in line at the supermarket about nothing and everything. We also ask each other random questions from time to time, and we get that you don’t really have to answer other than with a pointing of the chin. Not everyone wants to engage every time—and our city is plagued by faces stuck in cell phones too—but we are still talking to each other. And that feels like something to love. (Julie Ann Grimm)

Good peopleto-Mexican supermarket ratio 5

For a relatively small town, we have a lot of Mexican supermarkets (six, by our count). These places are community anchors for the Southside, cropping up within the last 25 years as the city’s foreign-born Mexican and Latino populations have grown.

They offer comfort foods and cultural products, as well as critical services for people in the fastest-growing part of the city.

Our favorite place is El Paisano, which has been at 3140 Cer-

rillos Road for over two decades.

In that time, they’ve set up a mini factory that makes fresh tortillas, tamales, salsas and other staples everyday. There’s also a small restaurant that serves menudo, tortas, burritos, and huge chunks of meaty, fatty chicharrones (our mouths are watering).

Beyond food and fare that may be novelties for gringos, these stores also offer a link home to many of Santa Fe’s immigrants. Companies like Vigo, Sigue, and Western Union’s Orlandi Valuta act as middlemen for people here to make calls and transfer funds to other countries across the world. (Aaron Cantú)

Recently, while on a drive outside the range of KBAC, I tuned my dial to a top-40 station out of Albuquerque. I almost drove off the road when Linkin Park unironically came out the speakers. I couldn’t turn it off fast enough. Thankfully, I still picked up KUNM (89.9 FM), and the classical tunes soothed me.

We’re lucky enough that local DJs shop at the same grocery stores as us, eat at the same restaurants and go to the same dentists, and therefore they know we can find them easily to berate them if they were to play stupid music. Our local jockeys are all a little off-kilter and fun, and that’s just the way we like our public personalities around here.

The aforementioned KBAC (98.1 FM) is a dang gem, from Thursday night jam bands on Toast ‘n’ Jam, to the Friday Funk with Lisa C the Motherfunker, to Honey Harris’ Big Show in the mornings

(where you can also hear representatives from SFR every Wednesday morn). KSFR (101.1) is our personal hookup for the local and syndicated public radio goodness that saves our country’s sanity again and again (think Democracy Now!, the BBC and classy music programming), and talk station KTRC (1260 AM) is good for progressive news junkies too (and don’t you just love that there’s a whole genre of radio just called “talk”?).

The area’s newest radio offering, KMRD (96.9 FM) out of Madrid, comes in a little spotty the further north you get. But it, like all the other stations mentioned here, is streamable online for your fix of storytelling, history, tunes and musings from volunteer DJs from the hood.

Of course, there are more local stations we love—these are just the highlights.

Touch that dial and discover them all. No Linkin Park to be found. And in the end, it does matter. (Charlotte Jusinski) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Homewise is Putting Roofs Over Heads 9

Murals Old and New

A people’s history of an urban space is discernible through its street art. One wall of a private home off Agua Fría is adorned with a hyper-realistic image of an agricultural worker kneeling in field, while another wall features hands holding ears of multi-colored corn. On the walls of the Tesuque Village Market, the face of Rose Fragua of Jemez Pueblo gazes defiantly up at the sky adjacent to a repeated image of a young dark-haired woman in a summer dress holding a pistol at her side.

Earlier this month, Homewise announced an expansion of its midtown office suite (1300 Siler Road, 983-9473) to add another 6,000 square feet of space to work on the prolonged challenge of stable housing. Even the ink-stained wretches of SFR’s newsroom have tapped in to the services.

Measuring success by the numbers, here are a few they collect: 15,000 households have attended financial workshops, more than 4,000 people have purchased homes, at least 2,200 have made energy efficient home improvements, more than 600 have refinanced mortgages and the organization itself has built over 700 affordable homes in all mindlessly shoveling popcorn into corners of the city.

Voters in the Lujan Grisham’s District 1 leaned heavily for Deb Haaland, keeping that seat blue and sending one of the first Native women to Congress.

In the south, the district flipped to blue. A narrow race that had Fox News recapping and holding out for weeks ended with Xochitl Torres Small defeating former Republican state Sen. Yvette Herrell.

That’s wonderful news if you like winter sports, but it’s also great news for our snowpack.

The forecast shows we’re likely to beat our 35-year average snowfall. Not by much, but geez, a snowy Rome wasn’t built in a year. Compared to last year’s total, we’ll take it. (MG)

11

There’s finally snow

Maybe you’re not a snow person. Or maybe you’re a person who likes to get where they’re going with a minimum of self-peril. Or maybe you drive a snowplow. The good news for you is that the snow usually melts in a few days. That impassible hill with 5 inches of snow on it that compresses into a quarter inch of ice will probably have enough bare pavement showing in two days to let you get where you need to go. Let it melt!

That’s the city’s official strategy when there’s less than 2 inches of snow on the ground. And while it irks people who grew up in more snow-ready climates, it does tend to work, eventually. Plus, it keeps the Subaru dealership in business and keeps the cost of city government down because we’re not spending a million bucks more for plows that we’d use four times a year.

Save your sanctimonious “I grew up in Upstate New York and we’d never let this happen” speech, because buying those extra plows makes about as much sense as buying a giant dehumidifier for Schenectady in the summer. It’s a waste of money.

That’s not to say plowing strategy, coordination and skill can’t be improved upon. They can.

But also, that snow will melt. (MG)

The tacos, they are everywhere!

13

“Where can I get a decent vegetarian taco around here?” a visiting friend asked us last year. “Good question,” we said.

“Let us help you.”

Right off the top of our heads, we gotta give it up to Taco Fundación (235 N Guadalupe St., 982-8286), the side hustle of Shake Foundation’s Brian Knox that lives in the old Bert’s Burger Bowl spot. Knox and company have a number of veggie options, from the deep fried avocado taco to the verduras with things like fingerling potatoes and Oaxacan cheese. Felipe’s Tacos (1711 Llano St., 473-9397), too, has a great no-carne option with a hefty helping of avocado and a delicious red sauce accompaniment, and El Parasol’s (1833 Cerrillos Road, 995-8015) crispy veggie tacos are beyond glorious.

Oh, but it’s not all for vegetarians, and downtown spots like El Callejon (208 Galisteo St., 983-8378) or Tres Colores (101 W Marcy St., 490-0296) have you covered. Or pop over to long-standing favorite La Choza (905 Alarid St., 982-0909) for taco plates featuring beef, chicken, turkey and its celebrated red and green.

The Southside brings the heat, from the carnitas tacos at PC’s Restaurant and Lounge (4220 Airport Road, 473-7164) to the picadillo, bistek or barbacoa tacos at Alicia’s Tortilleria (1314 Rufina Circle, 438-9545). Food trucks abound as well, but the most unexpectedly awesome of the bunch might go to The Bonsai Asian Tacos (1599 S St. Francis Drive, 316-9418), a satisfying fusion of disparate cuisines that one wouldn’t think could work together—yet they do.

“Damn,” our buddy said. “Santa Fe knows how to do it with tacos.” (ADV)

The Planet Fitness that’s always crowded 14

To be honest, the gym at 2412 Cerrillos Road isn’t that great. It’s the only one from the chain in Santa Fe (Albuquerque has nine) and it’s always crowded, no matter how early in the morning or late in the evening you go—although if you hang around long enough, there are noticeable lulls. If by a slight miracle you get access to one of the squat machines, you have to protect it like an injured coyote guarding her space. Like all gyms, you can’t think too hard about hygiene. Yes, there is that soapy liquid in a spray bottle you’re supposed to use to wipe down surfaces, but people in any setting are generally filthy.

(Just Google “percentage of people who wash their hands.”)

And yet, if you can get past all of that, it’s a cheap way ($10 a month) to get reg-

ular access to exercise equipment. For an inexplicable reason, workers serve pizza to everyone on the first Monday night of the month and bagels the first Tuesday morning, which we always grab. If you go regularly, you’ll see the same faces working long hours into the morning and through the day (it’s open 24 hours during the week). They clean everything. Sometimes, they put up with some serious bullshit from hyped-up men—SFR witnessed one such asshole yelling at a couple of teens working the desk on a recent Friday night.

But we also observed what came next: A bunch of other gym goers of all ages checking in to offer apologies to the workers. The latter reflects the general spirit of the crowd. (AMC)

SFREPORTER.COM

The restaurant that claims to be the biggest buyer of Santa Fe Farmers Market goods and produce in town says it spends over $100,000 a year on local ingredients. Organic flour, housemade mozzarella and local grass-finished meats are everywhere on the menu.

“What kind of swanky place must this be?” you may ask.

No, not swank. It’s Joe’s Dining (2801 Rodeo Road, 471-3800). Sure, the restaurant changed its name from Joe’s Diner to Joe’s Dining a few years ago, but it’s still an eat-at-thecounter, bring-the-kids, hangoverbrunch kind of place that is as comfy as the menu is varied.

At virtually every non-chain restaurant in town, you will find local or regional foods and ingredients casually listed next to more conventional fare. At the very least, you can always get local beer and wine, even at the most divey establishestablish drinkments. Eating and drink ing local is just part of our culture.

A new ad campaign tatouting the lunch ta cos at upscale spot Eloisa (Drury Plaza

Hotel, 228 E Palace Ave., 982-0883) brags heavily about the hand-picked New Mexico farms from which the corn for the tortillas is sourced. Also-fancy Japanese restaurant Izanami (21 Ten Thousand Waves Way, 982-9304) has no offer of sushi on the regular menu, because they sustainably source as many ingredients as they can from local farms. We don’t have too many salmon swimming about. For the record, fish specials do make it onto the menu on Tuesdays and Wednesdays as a special treat.

But it doesn’t have to be fancy to be locally sourced. The beer at Second Street (secondstreetbrewery.com) is best accompanied by a salad with Chimayo chile pecans, that occasional ruby trout special at Milad Persian Bistro (802 Canyon Road, 303-3581) is from just upstream in Colorado, and at many office bagel offerings, you’re just as likely to find Old Windmill Dairy chevre (oldwindmilldairy.com) as you are to find regular cream cheese. And if a place doesn’t offer Aroma, Iconik or Ohori’s coffee, it’s the exception rather than the norm.

Even the green chile on the cheeseburgers from McDonald’s is from Hatch.

So that counts, too. (CJ)

IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts is KILLIN’ It 16

Nobody’s saying that the Institute of American Indian Arts’ Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (108 Cathedral Place, 983-8900) hasn’t been a blessing upon our town for years, but the cohesion and vision that have met in the last couple have been particularly inspirational. If you’re not paying attention to contemporary Native arts in North America right now, you’re missing out on the most rapidly evolving and immeasurably important pieces of the international art puzzle. Full stop.

“I think that it’s the vision of the director of the museum, Patsy Phillips,” MoCNA’s membership and programs manager Andrea Hanley (Navajo) tells SFR. “And then you’ve got amazing curators who are work-

ing there—everyone who works there is really talented in their own right.”

Indeed, MoCNA’s curatorial staff is beyond compare. From today’s most exciting Native artists from near and far to current students of IAIA, visitors, Santa Fe ex-pats, musicians, photographers, and weavers, the museum’s broad focus and razor-sharp curatorial eye puts it right up there with institutions such as Arkansas benchmark Crystal Bridges Museum of Contemporary Art. “I also think it’s easy when you’ve got amazing artists to work with,” Hanley continues. “When you look back 70 years from today, this is what you’ll see— what Indian artists were doing, what they were thinking about, what that experience means.

It’s exciting.” (ADV)

The Santa Fe Institute Can Resolve Your Existential Angst 18

If current events and lack of sleep ever send you into a bad bout of the meta blues, if you find yourself chewing your nails over the fate of AI and asking questions like “What’s the deal with consciousness, anyway?

Will our new $8 billion Space Force really protect us from aliens? Are we alone in the universe? IS ANYONE OUT THERE?” … You can rest assured that you’re in good company.

The Santa Fe Institute is out there in our own backyard asking these questions on the daily. The think tank is dedicated to the science of complex systems, which include things like the internet and the global ecosystem. It offers a free online course called Introduction to Complexity for those of us who need serious brain food, and free public lectures are held at the Lensic throughout the year. Last season’s topics “ranged from randomness in everyday experience to the economics of Trump and Brexit,” writes SFI commuications manager Jenna Marshall in an email.

Last June, SFI launched the first annual Interplanetary Festival at the Railyard, in cahoots with the Currents New Media Festival and other partners. This made it super easy to check out some awesome digital art at Currents before hopping across the tracks to catch a quick lecture on relativity and the nature of time, then realize you’re overwhelmed and in over your head, and hurry back to Currents to reflect on what you’d just learned while relaxing in front of a projection of an ocean that became alternately turbulent or clear in response to how the instillation headset interpreted your brain waves. Yes, Santa Fe, the future is now.

So while some of the things that go on at SFI may be a little too heady for us non-science lay folk to digest on an average afternoon, we love that our town is keeping up with science and technology in its own far-out way, and that this knowledge is made accessible to the public for those days when you just need something to widen your perspective. (LC)

We Have Sooo Many Festivals 17

We really do have a lot going on for a small-ish town. If you include annual summer events such as the International Folk Art Market, the Traditional Spanish Market and Contemporary Hispanic Market, Indian Market and Fiestas, we have over 14 festivals in Santa Fe throughout the year, including not one but two annual film festivals.

For music lovers, we’ve got the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and the Santa Fe Traditional Music Festival, as well as Meow Wolf’s new music festival, Taos Vortex (not in Santa Fe, obviously, but still fun and notable), and a summer of free concerts with Santa Fe Bandstand and Music on the Hill. We enjoy dining at the Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta at the end of September if we can spring for tickets, and welcome in the fall with historical reenactments of Spanish Colonial small-town life at El Rancho de las Golondrinas’ near-monthly festivals during the warmer months (see page 19 for more on how this place rocks).

Coming up next on this long list is the Santa Fe Film Festival, which runs Feb. 13-17. (LC)

Our No-Kill Animal Shelter 19

It’s a sad fact of the world that overcrowding and underfunding finds animal shelters and humane societies across the country in the unfortunate position of putting down otherwise healthy animals. When it comes to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, however, the live release rate hovers at around 94 percent. The city itself has even been recognized as a no-kill community because of our denizens’ commitment to animal survival.

Of course, certain issues do require euthanasia, such as dangerous or deeply sick animals—but we’re lucky that the vast majority of the dogs, cats

or whatever else enters the shelter’s doors on the outskirts of town are returned to their owners, adopted to loving families or provided with topnotch care until such events can transpire.

Throw in the spacious westside facility, the Clare Eddy Thaw Animal Hospital (whose vets saved one of my cats when she was so close to death it’s ridiculous), a robust online presence (seriously, follow @sfanimalshelter on Instagram immediately!), and we’ve got a shelter we can truly be proud of.

Plus, there are kittens there, so …

Getting sick or hurt is a drag. But at least we aren’t in the days when your sister had to jump on a horse and ride to town to call for the country doctor, right? Though some in town might argue that we aren’t too far from it, given our medical care options.

Much like airlines, you don’t often hear anyone talking about a hospital unless they have a gripe, so that aspect of human nature must play into one’s interpretation of the word on the street.

Until October 2018, Santa Fe had a single hospital option in Christus St. Vincent. That changed, however, when Presbyterian Health Care opened a second facility on the Southside. Smaller than St. Vincent (30 beds to St. V’s 200) and still rolling out some offerings (a birthing unit opened Jan. 26, and offerings in the hospital’s Farmers Market Community Room are ramping up), the hospital nonetheless represents a second beacon of hope for those who have previously just had to shrug while holding bloody rags to a cut after Urgent Care hours. We only wish the corporation had seen fit to include a sorely needed additional psychiatric unit.

Then again, much like swearing you’ll never fly United ever again and settling for a lesser evil, there’s always a chance you’ll be vastly disappointed—just by different people in different ways.

Santa Fe was an early adopter, but now it’s among about 30 other cities nationwide that have implemented Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) programs. Santa Fe’s LEAD partnership between the SFPD and various social services organizations like homeless shelters, health clinics and housing initiatives allows officers to divert low-level drug offenders into trauma-informed intensive care management programs instead of into jail.

Santa Fe’s City Council has taken some knocks over the years.

No matter who holds office, the august panel of eight councilors has had a penchant for sounding off on national issues while seeming to ignore local ones. Even when there’s a local tie—like when the council condemned Wells Fargo for its Dakota Access Pipeline involvement—there’s often a less-than-meaningful result. (The city still banks with Wells Fargo.)

But the current City Council has shown a remarkable aptitude for self-reflection. Not that they’ve stopped making their thoughts known on national issues, but they’ll argue about it a little without letting it derail a meeting. At least outwardly, rifts haven’t developed between factions of the council.

What’s more, it’s a truly able group of people who broadly represent the community. There are the requisite attorneys, but there’s also a former fire chief, a couple businesswomen, a pair of nonprofit people. They are all engaged with the issues and there doesn’t seem to be an obvious knucklehead in the bunch. Trust us, that’s not always the case.

Don’t stop going to City Council meetings, but be comforted by the fact that you’ve chosen well, Santa Fe voters. Keep it up.

program found that compared to “the system as usual,” LEAD participants were less likely to get arrested within the first six months after completion and were more likely to reduce heroin use and find permanent housing. Plus, LEAD saved the criminal justice system $4,727 per person, per year. Less drug use, less crime, less tax money spent on criminalizing drug users. Bravo.

The program still affects only a small number of people, but it has a lot of potential and is a shining example of police working with communities to build trust and find real solutions. For that, we say: High five, SFPD. May you be as innovative, self-reflective, and open to change when it comes to addressing issues of use of force and accountability as well. (LC)

Santa Fe ended the Entrada

“We acknowledge the past and its trauma, tragedy, and sorrow; we understand its legacy in the present. We acknowledge wounds older and deeper than any on this continent. On behalf of those from the past who cannot ask forgiveness, we do now,” reads the city’s official proclamation.

Throughout the negotiation, we heard mixed feelings from people who took part in the previous year’s protest against the Entrada. They were happy the Entrada, a live-action, New Mexican version of a Confederate monument, had come to an end. But some resented the erasure of the years-long organizing leading up to that moment. The pageant was replaced by a collection of performances and speeches by some Pueblo leaders and various faith organizations focused on unity and reconciliation. Some pro-Entrada hecklers still showed up, but there were few, and the performances on stage had obviously brought more peace to the city than the previous year’s. (AC)

But this one is worth visiting more than once every year. The people who brought El Rancho de Las Golondrinas into existence did it to represent what life along the Camino Real was like in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Open Wednesday through Sundays between June and September, visitors can peek into historic homesteads and get a whiff of livestock, then take a long walk to see the streamside mill, blacksmith shop, school house, fields of traditional crops grown with flood irrigation, even a morada

not the peace roof, the peace fence.”

“My kitchen window overlooks that fake fountain made of blue lights, you know the one.”

Santa Feans have always been a creative bunch, and decorating the outside of our dwellings is one of our favorite pastimes. When everything is round ‘n’ brown, houses can start to blend together, so to distinguish your property from others can be fun—and quite easy, given our city’s propensity toward art, creativity and weirdness.

Plus, Santa Fe is small enough that most people know significant landmarks. Those big white concrete sculptures that look like crumpled handkerchiefs, the colorful rooftop flying pig, the Sharpe house—you must know where at least one of these places is if you’ve been here for more than a week.

Of course, there’s always the difficulty that comes up when someone

wooden puppets on the side of that one house on Agua Fría, for example, recently departed the public eye after a decade or more.

But when one door closes, another opens. When one odd front-yard sculpture is dismantled, two more are installed somewhere else to fill the void. If you’re not familiar with the unofficial privateproperty landmarks of our city, drive around sometime and see what your neighbors have to offer. Just don’t be creepy about it. (CJ)

on the hillside—a building that often plays host to costumed interpreters who tell the stories of the people who came before.

But many weekends, the ranch is doing even more to draw us in.

The Spring and Fiber Fest on June 1 and 2 has all the churro sheep-shearing and yarn-nerding you can handle, leading into lavender later in the month, wine on July 6 and 7, then Viva Mexico, fea-

turing volardores (“flying” acrobats), mariachi and more throughout the summer.

As we head toward fall, its most well-attended event is the Renaissance Fair in September.

That’s followed by the harvest festival in October, which includes a pumpkin sale, hayrides and the works. All of that, buttressed with a combo of food, drink, shopping, culture and the outdoors, makes for fun days. (JAG)

Fly-fishing guide ValgerĂ°ur “Valaâ€? Ă rnadĂłttir is also raising a daughter with an eye toward independence.

Mountainfilm fest speaks to some of the struggles to get women outdoors and tell their own stories

BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

W

hen work as a fly-fishing guide takes ValgerĂ°ur “Valaâ€? Ă rnadĂłttir to Greenland, her daughter, Mathilda, stays behind at their home in Reykjavik, imagining her mother reeling in 7-pound arctic char on rivers that rarely see an angler. Back home in Iceland, they fish together, the two lined up in matching black down jackets and loose blonde hair. While Mathilda imagines the adventures, Ă rnadĂłttir hopes to see her imagining a future for herself—not necessarily falling into the family business, but recognizing, through the route less traveled taken by Ă rnadĂłttir, that her life is her own to direct. “I would like to teach her that she will be independent, she can stand on her own two feet, she doesn’t need anybody else, she can figure things out on her own,â€? Ă rnadĂłttir says in the short documentary “My Mom Vala,â€? featured in the nationally touring Mountainfilm festival. “I want Mathilda to make her own story.â€?

It’s a remarkable and sweet film—and it’s one of only two films in the lineup of 14 screening in Santa Fe’s stop for Mountainfilm that features a woman as a central character. Granted, humans

“MY MOM VALA� AND RC CONE

Outdoor Exclusive yield the floor in some entries to wildlife.

The other, “Hayley: 90 Seconds on Fear� focuses on Hayley Ashburn, once one of the foremost female slackliners.

Of 120 films screened at the annual festival in Telluride, Colorado, 54 are optioned to tour, and 26 of those either feature or are directed by women, according to Naani Sheva, tour programming coordinator. The locally selected lineup includes two additional films, “Climbing Out of Disaster� and “Escape,� directed or co-directed by women.

Local nonprofit WildEarth Guardians hosts this film stop and selects the films with this community in mind, says Whitney Stewart, an event planner contracted to put the evening together. She looks for interesting, compelling and diverse films with ties to the environment, she says.

Her standouts include “A New View of the Moon,� about a man sharing views of the moon through his telescope with fellow Los Angeles residents, and “A Letter to Congress,� narrated by a letter Wallace Stegner wrote in defense of wilderness.

That films by or about women dropped off the list was just a matter of focusing on other priorities.

There’s also a question of what’s available. A 2013 study from the Sundance Institute and Women In Film Los Angeles surveyed women filmmakers, and

1330 Rufina Circle 505.231.7775 Monday - Saturday | 10am - 6pm Southside Location | Easy Parking

found they reported issues including gendered financial barriers, male-dominated industry networking and stereotyping on-set hampered their careers.

They recommended mentoring and encouraging women, easing financing and raising awareness of the problem.

Last year, half of the features at Mountainfilm were directed by women; but short films have seen more men as filmmakers, says Suzan Beraza, festival director. It’s tough, she says, particularly in adrenaline-fueled categories, to keep a balance. “I do feel there’s like this sort of bro mentality when these guys are making films, and that they turn to guys to be the ones to be the cameramen, going off on these adventures,â€? Beraza says. “I get this idea that they’re like, ‘Oh we need guys who can really carry a lot of gear.’ ‌ It’s just, how to get more women into that world, because they’re totally kickass.â€?

Beraza says she’s also noticed women, herself included, trend toward social justice issues. “I just don’t have a lot of interest in making adventure films, even though I’m outdoorsy and I like to ski and mountain bike,� she says.

Even for women who do, getting involved can be a challenge, she says, citing Faith E Briggs, an African American film-

maker working on a film about the National Brotherhood of Skiers, which supports people of color getting onto the slopes.

She’s an inspiration and working in the thick of things, Beraza says, “and she struggles with it—like how to get these guys to know that you can do the job, that you can live in a tent and that you can trek miles with gear. It just takes a little bit of poking, like, ‘Hey, I can do this.’�

The next Mountainfilm festival, which occurs in May, will pilot a film-pitching forum to connect new and diverse filmmakers with private companies who pay to produce films. “It’s trying to get at it at the beginning, before the project is even made,â€? she says. “We need to be thinking about this all the time and making steps toward making it better and getting it right. ‌ I’m a Latina and I grew up in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, and another big thing for me is not having white people always telling brown people’s stories. It’s really giving people a chance to tell their own stories.â€?

The hope, then, might be that by the time Mathilda’s story is ready to be told, she’ll be the one to do so.

THE MYSTERIES OF HISTORIES “Thomas De Quincey was the person who invented the word ‘subconscious,’ who anticipated Freud’s theories by more than half a century. … He invented the modern memoir, and he inspired Edgar Allen Poe, who in turn inspired Arthur Conan Doyle. … I could go on. He was fascinating!” says acclaimed writer David Morrell, whose three historical fiction mystery novels feature the dark and strange Victorian-era intellectual. In a lecture presented by the Renesan Institute, Morrell speaks about the ample research that went into his fiction, including a presentation of photos and illustrations to show the fascinating real world of De Quincey. “He changed the course of literature, and I feel thrilled to be able to write about him.” (Charlotte Jusinski)

TURNER MARK-JACOBS

ART OPENING FRI/1 GRAPHIC NOVELLA We’ve long been proponents of the comic or graphic novel, particularly as an educational tool—so when an artist like Turner Mark-Jacobs (once an SFR cover artist!) sets out to depict a historical epoch in his signature comic book style, we take notice. MarkJacobs worked with the New Mexico History Museum to capture Don Pedro Villasur’s ill-fated expedition-turned-massacre of 1720, a bloody but fascinating chapter in our state history shown accessibly through more than 20 original artworks. While based on hide paintings by unknown artists from the region that date back to the era, this particular story does have historians at an impasse. Mark-Jacobs’ dramatic retelling culls from both sides, as well as from letters between Mexico and New Mexico sent in the aftermath, and from the narrative structure of Kurosawa’s Rashomon.

EVENT SUN/3 THAT’LL BE THE DAY A long, long time ago—we can still remember how the music of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper made us smile. But February makes us shiver; with every paper we delivered, bad news from those old days. There’s really only one way to describe the day … the music … a’died. Local musicians Greg Butera and Ry Warner join forces to mark 60 years since the infamous day in American rock history when three of our most enduring artists died in a plane crash while on tour. Covers will be played, movies will be shown and we can only assume people will make “Ritchiiiieeeeeeee!” jokes. Still, it all boils down to one important question: Do you believe in rock and roll?

PERFORMANCE TUE/5

Complexities of Life The eloquent communication of dance Los Angeles-based contemporary dance company BODYTRAFFIC is back in Santa Fe for the first time since 2014 for an evening of exquisitely choreographed dance.

Artistic directors Lillian Rose Barbeito and Tina Finkelman Berkett often take risks in their choreography, stepping outside the bounds of specific dance genres to create movement sequences that are painstakingly timed to coincide with the music. Sometimes this means syncopated, staccato body isolations that can melt gracefully into fluid, sinewy shapes. The company also frequently performs work by other well-known choreographers such as Sidra Bell, whose piece “Beyond the Edge of the Frame” is on the program for the Santa Fe show.

The musical and emotional scope of the pieces in the company’s repertoire range from lighthearted, fun and jazzy numbers danced to the music of icon Peggy Lee, to others that are much

darker or emotionally intense, set to contemporary electronic soundscapes. The company has been known to commission musical scores in the past, though none will be performed at the Santa Fe event. However, this level of involvement in the production makes us intrigued to find out what other creative surprises BODYTRAFFIC might have in store.

The dance troupe’s company manager Dora Quintanilla tells SFR the local show will be versatile and will feature pieces that showcase the breadth of their performance style. (Leah Cantor)

H

ow does an artist of any discipline tackle their role in an infinite universe? Specificity can make all the difference; writers speak of the terror that strikes when facing the blank page, likewise the painter and the canvas. That’s why a clear trajectory is important, and while some people shy away from setting parameters for themselves, guidelines for art can often act as a springboard to more boundless creative avenues that might not have been considered otherwise. This seems to be the case with Santa Fe’s Laurianne Fiorentino and her ongoing series of Elemental Concerts, hosted at the San Miguel Chapel.

Fiorentino, or Lauria as she bills herself, is a singer-songwriter with over 20 years of experience writing and recording original material. While her music touches on the familiar territory of American folk, it also has a more thoughtful, composed quality thanks to collaborators such as cellist Michael Kott, with whom she presents the series. She describes the music as “Americana soul,” which feels fairly accurate. Her songs are lyric-driven and allow for her dynamic and emotive singing style to take the forefront.

Each concert is curated according to one element from the periodic table. This allows Fiorentino to collect material from her vast catalogue that reflects, or sometimes challenges, the properties of the chosen element. It’s a simple concept at

first glance, but one that leads to new ways of looking at our world from both scientific and emotional perspectives.

Audience members receive a onesheet of basic facts about the element upon arrival, a light introduction that Fiorentino says can help to ground them as to what their relationship is with that element.

“It’s very broad,” she tells SFR. “I’ve developed a series of questions now rather than statements that relate a human being to the qualities of the element.”

The questions address color, volatility, density and other abstractions that lead to song choices and a more personal connection to the periodic table outside of the more familiar academic setting.

Fiorentino’s preferred setting is the so-called oldest church, where she hosts each of the performances.

“I did a show with Michael in that venue and just loved being in there,” says Fiorentino, whose inspiration for the series first came from simply wanting to play in that space more frequently.

Originally conceptualized as a more general elemental series—earth, wind, fire and water—Kott suggested using the atomic elements instead. Since it began in June 2018, the program has included lectures from archaeologist Alysia Abbot, as well as performances by other musicians including singers such as Felicia Ford,

We are made up of all this stuff. Music is vibration and atoms vibrate.

It’s so big.

-Lauria

Busy McCarroll and Martha Reich.

“It’s ended up being a little community, bringing people together in that historic building which has served as a gathering space for human beings under various conditions of conflict and resolution and oppression and community,” says Fiorentino.

This iteration of the series focuses on strontium, which for many can conjure up the isotope strontium-90, the toxic consequence of disasters such as the nuclear power plant meltdowns in Chernobyl and Fukushima. Fiorentino

is quick, however, to describe the many benefits of the element.

“What’s poisoning our earth right now is strontium-90, but it’s also used for fireworks and glow-in-the-dark toys,” she explains. “It’s used in the manufacturing of magnets, toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

It’s an interesting contrast: When you have pure strontium that comes out of the Earth you have this beneficial, interesting, rather benign, non-harmful thing.

But when you mess with it at the atomic level it turns into the most toxic thing on the planet.”

Even with the weighted history surrounding the element, Fiorentino’s drive is not to make a statement but rather to inspire curiosity which she says is the “nature of a human mind and heart.”

“It’s an alchemical, intuitive journey through not the tiniest building blocks of our material world, but the tiniest gathering of atoms into specific and unique combinations that we call elements,” she muses. “We are made up of all this stuff.

Music is vibration and atoms vibrate. It’s so big.”

Cyclops-ing ain’t easy.

Of the Man, Goddess—Sing!

Margaret Kirby dusts off The Odyssey

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

I

t’s probably been years since you cracked open The Odyssey, but Margaret Kirby, a tutor from the Maryland campus of St. John’s College, travels to Santa Fe this week to lecture on the topic. See an extended version of this conversation at SFReporter.com.

I’m a little nervous because it’s been years since I brushed up on my Homer, and since you’re the expert ...

Oh, no, I am not the expert. I’m a reader of it, an appreciator of it. Why do I love it?

Why do I keep coming back to it? It seems to me that it raises questions that I find fundamentally interesting. It’s also incredibly beautiful. It’s a poem, a very long poem, but I’m going to be talking on Friday about what it means to recognize others.

The recognition of others is central to The Odyssey—both in terms of recognizing others as your fellow human beings and in recognizing particular human beings.

It’s a story of Odysseus’ homecoming, but he lands in Ithaca about the middle of the

poem, and he’s not recognized by the people there. There’s a lot in the poem that’s concerned with what it takes for particular people to recognize that this is somehow the same man, very altered by his experience and time.

teach and talk about all kinds of books, and I’ve lived with [The Odyssey] for many years. I’ve had all kinds of opportunities to talk to colleagues and students about it, but there have been long stretches where maybe I haven’t looked at it.

Would you say that idea of recognition is particularly applicable to our time, with regard to human rights crises?

One of the things Odysseus is curious about—too curious for his own good— he wants to know how he’ll be received in the places he goes. He wants to find out what kind of people live there ... whether they’re hospitable to strangers.

There’s a concept of hospitality, and somehow the importance of being hospitable to strangers is at the core of the Greek way of being in the world. That, I think, is something extremely topical for us right now.

The assumption is that you recognize that other person as one who’s like you, not just as ‘other.’ That’s a central question for Odysseus, and one that, as I say—as far as current political events go—is very relevant.

We read in The Odyssey about how Odysseus is clever or cunning, but pride seems to be a recurring theme.

Does that come across as problematic?

I’m not sure I’d use the word pride.

The place he gets himself in the biggest trouble is when he goes to visit Polyphemus, the Cyclops, and he initially, cleverly, identifies himself as ‘Nobody,’ and when Polyphemus cries out to the other cyclopes, ‘Nobody’s hurting me! Nobody’s blinding me!’ and they figure there’s nothing to be done about that. But as he’s escaping the island of the Cyclops, he can’t contain himself—and he calls out, y’know, ‘Hey! If you want to know, it’s Odysseus that blinded you,’ and Polyphemus calls a curse on Odysseus.

There’s a way in which a lack of restraint at that point leads to all kinds of trouble. I think it might be contrasted at the end of the poem when Odysseus is back at his own house and the suitors are there. Surely he wants to come in and say,

How long at this point have you been studying The Odyssey?

I first read it as an undergrad, in the ’70s, so you can put that together. I got a doctorate in German literature. … I read and

A&C

‘Hey look, here I am,’ but he’s got to enter his own house as as a beggar, and the suitors are incredibly rude, they throw things at him, he’s furious—but he doesn’t let it show. He absolutely has to show who he is.

He does it at that point. I think he develops and learns not to say ‘I’m Odysseus!’

I don’t know if it’s pride or anger, but he does have to learn to have things hurled at him and not say, ‘Wait a sec …’

Obviously this wasn’t the only poem or story from that time. Why do you think it’s been so enduring?

Yes, it’s not the only one—there’s a manyness there—it stands with The Iliad. …

They are just magnificent. It’s hard to say what it is that’s magnificent about it. … Every time you go back to it, you find more—more about yourself. You say, it’s about him, but it’s so much about us. What it is to be human, what it is to be a self. The way the poem is written, the way he tells his own story, you wonder a little bit: Is he giving a slant to it? What is happening to him as he retells this story? Is he altered by the telling of it? There’s another constellation of questions there that I find remarkable. There’s a literary merit to the poem, but it’s a human question. We tell stories because we like to listen to stories. What does that say about us?

Would you say your lecture will be accessible to everyone, not just students?

Oh, yes. In fact, I’ve just been going through and making additions and thinking, ‘Somebody who hasn’t read this in awhile might not recognize this.’ I’ve been trying to think about things like that to make it accessible to anyone. I start with a little Greek, but it’s meant to be for everyone. I’m hoping it might inspire people to get out that book they haven’t read in a long time.

HUMAN

BEING:

BY ALEX DE VORE

GO TO THE MOVIES We don’t care what all those articles about streaming services or failing movie pass businesses refuse to stop telling us—going to the movies can still be fun, dammit.

But times have also changed, and as anyone who has been to a feature film in a real-life theater can attest to, it’s almost always the people that ruin the experience (not counting how the concession prices are pretty bonkers at a large number of theaters). Anyway, as always, we reached out to industry professionals who shall remain anonymous to give us a better idea of how to exist out there in the world as human beings.

Stop. Fucking. Talking.

We can’t take this anymore, people who do this—you simply have to shut up while you’re in a theater watching a movie. Whatever totally awesome observation you’ve just made about the characters, whatever thing you just remembered you wish you had told your buddy, whatever idea you have that makes you tell yourself that talking out loud is OK ... is wrong. Everyone hates you. Cut it the fuck out.

Don’t Get Sneaky!

Yes, going to movies can be pricey, especially for larger groups. We get that. But that old thing you’ve always heard about how theaters make their money from food and drink and not the tickets is mostly true. Yes, there is a certain amount of profit to be had from the box office, but theaters truly remain open because of the candy and such. According to our sources, this is especially true for smaller and more independent theaters.

According to them, sneaking in food and drink makes them suffer. This goes doubly for alcohol—because every time you think your cute little flask is warranted, you’re violating the term of the theater’s liquor license (assuming they have one), thereby running the risk that that

Make Up Your Own Damn Mind Rotten Tomatoes is a fun aggregate site that pulls together consumer and professional reviews of films, but it’s not the goddamned law that you do what it says. Film reviews are great (I write them myself all the time), and can definitely be a part of your prep for movie-going, but if you’re the type who values such things over your own personal thoughts and experiences, you’re the worst. Truly.

Leave Your Shoes On My sources tell me people start to act like the theater is their own home or something, and many a patron has decided it’s a great place to take off their shoes. Here’s a tip for remembering when it’s OK to be in a group space without your shoes: Are you at a pool or beach?

A trampoline park or ball pit? No? Then LEAVE ‘EM ON, JERKS! Especially dudes, with your gross-ass feet.

They Screen When They Screen, Chad!

If you choose to go see that oncehot movie two months after it came out and well after the theaters have been playing it nonstop all the time, that’s kind of on you. Read up on how the the industry of films work sometime—they’re trying to make a bunch of money really fast. Is it a flawed system? You bet, but no more flawed than your trashing on a theater employee because the screening times have pared down late in the run. Get it together.

Members Only?

It’s not a theater employee’s fault that your damn MoviePass didn’t work. And you can’t very well walk into Violet Crown and expect them to honor the Regal Club. Try to be a human person about this. Do you use your library card at the Video Library? No! They’re different things!

COURTESY SCOTT PARKER

For a decade from a studio in the backyard of his South Capitol home, Scott Parker has been on the see-carve-print-repeat cycle. He celebrates ten years in New Mexico with an exhibition at the Remarque/New Grounds Print Workshop and Gallery in Albuquerque (3812 Central Ave. SE, Ste. 100 B, 268-8952) that opens with a reception from 5-9 pm Friday Feb. 1. The show runs through Feb. 24.

Before he moved here, Parker traveled to 59 of the more than 300 national parks to make other art. In April, he’s off to St. Louis to capture the Gateway Arch. (Julie Ann Grimm)

You specialize in linoleum block printing. What is it that you like about the process?

I also paint and draw. The linoleum block I started doing ‘cause I really like the look—like when you see a historic relief print. I was drawn to it immediately, so I decided to try to do it myself.

The entire image-making process in relief print is a puzzle that I find fascinating, where you make a drawing and you have to reverse it into mirror image and you transfer it to a block and you carve it and print it, or you take that image and put it on 10 blocks, and carve those, each with different colors and you hope you don’t screw it up. I think that’s fun.

How do you choose the subjects you depict?

I wish that there was some great, like, philosophy behind it—but usually it is something that I like, something that I think looks cool; if I am probably supposed to be doing something else and I start sketching something in front of me. ... The one at the airport was waiting for a plane. I thought that was just a cool image. Who knows where you are going and where you are coming from, but it’s universal and fun. So that’s how I got there. ...

There are a few pieces with people in them, but that’s really not my interest. I like to make things that when I look at them, I imagine myself walking through them. Or someone else just walking through it. I don’t want to charge it with a figure’s perspective.

Almost all of the 26 images in the exhibition show New Mexico, your home of choice. What brought you here?

Quality of life. I had been in New York City and I was preparing to purchase a place, and it seemed my dollar went further here. And the quality of life, the blue sky, I could move to a walkable community. The climate is pretty damn fantastic, and it’s a multicultural city, it’s almost too aligned with the arts. It was just a natural fit.

Arroyo Vino Unless you already live on Santa Fe’s northwest side, the drive to Arroyo Vino from the city is enough to breathe a little sigh of escape. Arroyo Vino’s new executive chef, Allison Jenkins, arrived in the late spring, and the presentation details and creative dishes she’s brought to the scene give it a grounded, curated feel. A chalkboard on its eastern wall is good shorthand, listing not only wine on offer for the evening, but also sources for many of the ingredients that will come out of the kitchen—such as, on a recent visit, cherry tomatoes from the on-site garden. Service is professional, unobtrusive and attentive. The menu is not sparse, but also doesn’t feel overwrought: Diners choose from a maximum of six options in each of the three courses. On our visit, the amuse-bouche that arrived shortly after we ordered was a shot of zippy watermelon gazpacho with a tiny basil leaf and bud adorning its surface.

Then, it’s flatbread resembling a pesto-drenched pizza, featuring bacon lardons and parmesan-corn puree ($12) to start, and segundi of bold lamb tartare with vaudovan curried yogurt and pistachio crumble ($15). Our favorite main was a sweet and tangy sauce on gnocchi with roasted eggplant puree and goat gouda ($26). Sure, we had great wine, but after that, the flavor of the thirstquenching iced tea we chose for the rest of the evening was memorable—a blend of chamomile, mint and Earl Grey ($4). For dessert, we’re pretty certain you can’t go wrong with the chocolate pot de creme ($10). The whole night felt right. (Julie Ann Grimm)

Arable For Eldorado dwellers, snacking or grabbing a pizza has always been easy. What hasn’t always been an option was a lowkey-fancy date-night spot or a great family brunch for which you don’t have to drive into town. That changed in the summer of 2017, when Arable opened its doors in the interior of the Agora Center. Its unassuming location (both the mall and the subdivision) belies the quality of the upscale comfort food therein, crafted by chef and owner Renée Fox: a hanger steak you can cut with a butter knife ($24), a hearty wedge salad with savory and light blue cheese dressing ($13.50), a welcoming paté perfect for people who don’t know whether they like paté ($9). The menu is full of choices that make you feel at home, but like there’s also a creative, energetic chef in your home who went and picked some local pears for the dessert crostata ($7) and who isn’t ashamed to also bring you a steaming plate of green chile cheese tots ($6.50). Once you’re finished, we can’t stress enough that you simply must get the butterscotch budino with salted caramel and whipped cream ($6.50); eating it once in winter caused it to haunt me until the next fall. (Charlotte Jusinski)

Coe Center

The Beestro Newly reopened downtown staple The Beestro underwent a complete makeover following a six-month hiatus. The former sandwich joint now offers a menu rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine, featuring a selection of shawarma, falafel and giant mountains of salads.

The menu swaps out proteins interchangeably against the backdrop of either a pita ($6), salad or rice plate (each $9). Vegetable toppings include carrots, pickled turnips, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, grilled eggplant, quinoa tabbouleh, beets, cabbage and red onions.

For an additional $1 to $3, lunch can come topped with falafel, chicken or steak shawarma, lamb gyro or salmon skewers. Chef/owner Greg Menke is adamant in his commitment to sourcing from local and organic producers, and avoiding artificial colors and flavors, high fructose corn syrup and MSG. His new space is colorful and bustling, situated downtown in the Plaza Galeria, with a balcony that’s a convenient perch overlooking Water Street. The restaurant provides a healthy, plantbased alternative to the sea of burgers and burritos that make up the other downtown lunch options. Order in person or online. (Mary Francis Cheeseman)

When in Rome Can comforting handmade pasta be found in Santa Fe?

tomato and finely shaved pieces of artichoke. The pasta itself was dense and chewy, its saffron flavor accented by the rich, salty brine of lobster stock. Lastly, the stringozzi, named for the guitar-like tool used to cut it, sparkled with expertly emulsified butter. The thin noodles held their own against the richness of their fellow contents: butter, cheese and cracked black pepper. The simplicity of this delicate dish belies the difficulty in executing

s a kid growing up on a farm in rural Washington state, one of my favorite journeys was to the bright lights and big smells of Tacoma where there lived an Old Spaghetti Factory.

Knowing little of food I didn’t pull out of the ground or pick off a tree, this was the absolute pinnacle of gastronomy.

Years later, in a postcard-sized restaurant in Rome, my expectations of what pasta can—and should—be were forever skewed. During winter’s chilly grip on Santa Fe, all I want is a mound of these beautiful, fresh noodles to bring back those memories, and to warm my belly and bones.

Beyond being rustic, tender, rich, chewy and colorful, what is it that makes handmade pasta so special? I posed this question to the foremost pasta expert I know, New Mexico native and Seattle resident Mike Easton. Easton is a two-time James Beard Award nominee (2016 and 2017 for Best Chef in the Northwest) for his pasta-only lunch restaurant, Il Corvo.

A small space perched halfway up a steep hill climb out of Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood, Il Corvo is as famous for its out-the-door lines as it is for the quality of its daily fresh-made dishes.

“For restaurants, handmade pasta can be a daunting task,” Easton says.

“Bad pasta is an incredible letdown. But well-made, fresh pasta is something that

speaks directly to your soul.”

He continues: “At its most basic, pasta has two ingredients. But it’s the intention behind what you want the ingredients to become that make them so special. If you are a restaurant putting intention behind what you’re doing, it will take almost no effort to make pasta that will take people to that place in their heart where comfort lives.”

In need of this comfort, I gathered up a couple of friends, well-educated in pasta, and we headed downtown to find us some.

Our first stop, Trattoria A Mano (227 Galisteo St., 982-3700),, dedicates a good portion of its menu to house-made pastas—10, to be exact.

An open kitchen allows diners a view of the line, which opens with one person expertly cranking out fresh pasta.

Chef Michael Leonard, in addition to having a Sicilian grandma, spent years perfecting his pasta game under California-based pasta master Evan Funke.

Each of the pasta dishes on menu are inspired by regional dishes of Italy. With the help of our encyclopedia of a server, Ari, we chose the spinach pappardelle in duck ragu and pecorino sardo ($24), saffron fusilli with Maine lobster, leek, artichoke and roasted tomato ($28) and stringozzi alla chitarra with cacio e pepe and pecorino romano ($19).

Our pastas arrived in warmed bowls, hugging their comforting contents. The tagliatelle glistened in a light, garlic-tinged ragu spotted with tender chunks of duck.

The curls of the saffron fusilli were punctuated with whole, tender lobster claws and sweet chunks of knuckle, contrasted beautifully by the crisp acidity of roasted

Well-intentioned pasta from Trattoria a Mano.

it properly; it’s easy to mess up. But here, not only was this pasta created with focused intention, the entire experience was, from open kitchen to decor.

Our next stop, Il Piatto (95 W Marcy St., 984-1091), boasts many accolades for its chef, Matt Yohalem. Also exciting was the potential of pastas made from “Sangre de Cristo Mills whole wheat flour grown & ground in New Mexico.”

FOOD

However, our server informed us that of the seven pastas on the night’s menu, only three types (ravioli, pappardelle, and squid ink spaghetti) were handmade.

Disappointed our options were limited, we ordered small plates of the gorgonzola and walnut ravioli with sundried tomato pesto ($16), pumpkin ravioli with brown sage butter, pine nuts and pecorino romano ($15), and pappardelle in duck ragu with red wine and mascarpone ($17).

As we awaited our hopefully well-intentioned dishes, my table became strangely quiet, our attentions pulled to the decidedly discomforting: f-bombs beloudly dropped by an employee be hind the bar; shrill, punctuated screams coming from a curcur tained-off room across the entry; the pungent scent of a long-past-its-prime boubou quet of lilies festering just inches from our table.

The food did little to quiet our unease. The ravioli arrived, four to an order, on cold salad plates. My gorgonzola and walnut ravioli were watery inside and smothered under a thick sea of cream sauce, parted by large wells of oil.

The sun-dried tomato pesto a dollop of lukewarm, foam-like chunks of dried-out tomato. My dining mate’s ravioli were well-cooked but, sadly, offered no hint of pumpkin or sage brown butter flavors due to his dish being, strangely—as it wasn’t in the menu description—carpeted with a thick, salty layer of oily, charred tomatoes. Our remaining diner fared better with the pappardelle. The pasta itself was nicely made, but came drowning in a garlicheavy swamp of ragu, more of a stew than a sauce. “This whole experience makes me feel like I just went to a Long Island wedding buffet,” she concluded.

Thank goodness for wine, because the chianti, at least, was delicious.

BEST MOVIE EVER

Hot love and bruised hearts in Pawel Pawlikowski’s romantic epic

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

By the time Santa Feans get a chance to see Polish director Pawel Pawlikowski’s stirring era-spanning romance Cold War, it’ll already be making the Oscar nomination rounds with nods for Best Foreign Language Film, Director and Cinematography. Pawlikowski previously picked up a Best Director statue for his 2017 film Ida. Here we follow young Zula and the slightly older Wiktor, musicians from disparate classes in post-war Poland brought together by a government-run academy dedicated to the preservation of Polish folk music. This was an actual thing founded in war-torn Poland in 1948—the Mazowsze, which exists to this day.

Zula’s a bit of a con artist, or so we glean—but as Wiktor says almost immediately, she has “something,” a certain darkness, but also burning passion and talent among the wreckage of her past.

Newcomer Joanna Kulig as the tortured young singer brings a natural and effortless grace and style, even in her more human or pitiful moments, while Tomasz Kot’s portrayal of the lovesick but prideful Wiktor is so painfully relatable, we wind up empathizing a little too deeply with him. Both

perspectives make absolute sense, however, even in their less courteous actions. We root for each character equally, a rare but fantastic feat from a powerhouse like Pawlikowski that feels like a more modern-day Dr. Zhivago … a sexier one, anyway.

The pair discovers an immovable love blossoming between them, one that crosses borders and time, withstanding detour lovers, marriages of convenience and deportations; the music they make together through the 1950s and ’60s is even more beautiful. Pawlikowski captures it all in crisp black and white with a stunning attention to detail and scenic composition. From the countryside of Poland to the streets of Paris, from a Russian stage to bombed-out churches, everything is romance in all of its charred, beautiful, terrible power. The heart-wrenching soundtrack culled from real-life traditional Polish folk songs, which are then rein-

terpreted to mirror the times represented in the film, is nothing short of phenomenal.

There is a danger to love like this, the kind in which we lose ourselves. And yet we can’t help but focus so intently on the principal characters, even at their worst and despite the numerous others that surround them. Like them, we throw caution to the wind and hope beyond hope that it all works out—but these things seldom do, right? It all boils down to chemistry: the kind that burns between Kulig and Kot, the kind that cannot be faked onscreen or otherwise, and the stuff that goes down as cinematic legend. Don’t miss this gorgeous film.

smartly so.

This helps us forgive early missteps in pacing or the glaring concern that those unfamiliar with the duo’s work might find it hard to connect with the gravity of the film. That’s partly good news, though, because if you don’t know their films, now’s a great time to start, especially since Stan & Ollie is sure to make waves come Oscar time.

+ LESSER-KNOWN HISTORY - POTENTIALLY LESS MEANINGFUL FOR THE UNINITIATED

In the late 1930s, comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were about the biggest stars on the planet. We’re talking Beatlemania levels of fandom—they were mobbed in the streets by screaming fans. But by the time World War II had concluded, Laurel and Hardy’s sheen had faded, and a 1953 tour of a post-war United Kingdom undertaken as a moonshot attempt at re-breaking into film proved to be the final chapter of their careers.

This lesser-known tour is examined up close in Stan & Ollie from filmmaker Jon S Baird (HBO’s Vinyl), a sad yet hopeful biopic that eschews comedy for the most part (though there are certainly laughs) for a darker look at waning stardom and the closing out of a particular era in Hollywood. Here we see the nitty-gritty of Laurel and Hardy’s later lives, from the impact of lost fame and the pressures of consistently being “on” to lingering resentment born from Hardy’s having worked with a different partner in the infamous 1939 film Zenobia.

Steve Coogan and John C Reilly disappear completely into their respective roles, masterfully phasing between the archetypical art of

comedy—blueprints drawn by Laurel and Hardy themselves, among others—and regular people clinging to scraps of fame. Reilly as Hardy in particular proves without question that he’s grown into one of the finer actors of our time. Coogan’s tender portrayal of Laurel isn’t far behind, however, and the film truly excels in portraying how much these men loved one another, even to the

near detriment of their careers. Their chemistry is electric.

“I’ll miss us when we’re gone,” Reilly says plainly to Coogan in one particularly moving scene; a simple moment conveyed so resonantly that we almost overlook Coogan’s response: “So will you,” he says, the hint of a smile on his face. Stan & Ollie is full of these exchanges, and

Oh, how satisfying was it to watch Fyre Fest go down in flames, circa summer 2017?

How gleefully rapt were we in observing young folks with more money than sense descend upon the nightmarish event in the Bahamas only to learn they’d been oversold nothingness by snake oil salesman Billy McFarland? It was the type of schadenfreude that doesn’t come along every day—or every generation, even—and now we can relive the glorious drama in the new Hulu documentary, Fyre Fraud.

It’s important to note that Hulu competitor Netflix has a similar documentary out now as well, titled Fyre: The Greatest Party that Never Happened (which we haven’t seen yet) and, according to outlets like NPR, there are journalistic issues with both—namely that the Hulu doc’s exclusive on-camera interviews with McFarland were bought and paid for. The Netflix version was produced by Jerry Media, the selfsame company that helped produce and promote the disastrous Fyre Fest itself, and members of which are reportedly extensively interviewed in that movie. But we’re almost willing to forgive these ethically shitty steps to observe the beautiful train wreck that hit the Bahamas all those many months ago. Besides, no one is filing these docs in the annals of history as anything more than trashy fun. We hope.

Ultimately, Fyre Fraud is a tale about a conman who foresaw and harnessed the dark powers of social media in a way that many are just now beginning to grasp. Yes, certain aspects of the internet are obviously shady at best, but by enlisting the dubious marketing/meme factory Jerry Media (aka Fuck Jerry), an army of Instagram-famous models and influencers and tapping into millennials’ FOMO (fear of missing out), McFarland managed to kick up the perfect storm of desire and stupidity like almost nothing before it. As one interviewee in the film says, Fyre Fest looked like the most enticing parts of Instagram come to life.

But there was one big problem: McFarland and his partners impatiently insisted on a sixmonth timeline. Events and marketing experts interviewed in the film estimate that even 18 months would have been cutting the planning too close. Throw in a cast of other idiots, from longtime McFarland collaborator Grant Margolin and early-2000’s rapper Ja Rule, and one wonders why anyone thought it was a good idea. Of course, we all know the rest—from the infamous images of FEMA tents on the Bahamian “beaches” and cheese on bread to the cacneled bands and mad dash to the airport from terrified young folk who realized they’d made a horrific mistake too late. It’s frankly miraculous that no one was killed.

But, since everyone survived, Fyre Fraud is pretty fun (funny?), even if McFarland’s interviews mostly amount to him not commenting on things. The other players are absent altogether.

Ja Rule was famously unwilling to accept accountability, though, so … y’know. We do hear from people on the ground as well as culture journalists who predicted the mess—people should’ve listened to them in the weeks leading up to the event—but we mostly feel bad for these unpaid and unheeded people. McFarland is of course now serving six years in prison for wire fraud, but we hear rumblings of potential new

business ventures in the documentary. Jesus.

The lesson, though, we think, is in how prevalent we’ve allowed the internet to become in our decision-making process. The evidence was all there and smart people were begging people not to do it. But they did, and we now know exactly how that turned out. Glorious.

+ SOMETIMES THRILLING - FLIMSY UNDERSTANDING OF MENTAL ILLNESS; OVER-EXPLANATION

Setting aside the often unbearable pacing of Glass, one-time wunderkind M Night Shyamalan’s followup to Unbreakable and Split, there’s one glaring problematic issue at play that needs mentioning: the indelicate portrayal of mental illness. Now, we’re not saying that movies shouldn’t examine such things, nor do we believe it’s necessary for them to portray those grappling with such issues in an unyieldingly positive light— but the moral here, if there is one, seems almost to be that the mentally ill are over-the-top crazies who are probably going to kill people.

Glass is ultimately a sequel to 2016’s Split, the James McAvoy-led thriller about a man named Kevin suffering from dissociative identity disorder who, in the wake of childhood abuse, develops a violent personality called The Beast that runs roughshod over the rest of his internal personalities causing him to commit heinous crimes. Here, however, Shyamalan has added the

threads from 2000’s Unbreakable—namely that that movie’s villain Elijah/Mr. Glass (Samuel L Jackson) has been imprisoned for his own crimes carried out while in search of extraordinary humans with extraordinary abilities, of which Bruce Willis’ character David Dunn is one.

Woof, that’s a lot; and we haven’t even thrown American Horror Story‘s consummate over-actor Sarah Paulson into the mix as a psychiatrist specializing in disorders that find people believing they are superheroes. Thus, Mr. Glass, Kevin and David are thrust together into treatment and left to ponder whether they’re actually super or simply suffering from trauma that caused them to shape their own bizarre narratives rooted in fantasy and comic books.

Jackson, as always, is fantastic and portrays Elijah’s cold and calculating nature in an eerily sympathetic way. McAvoy hits some very high notes when the writing allows for his various personalities to prove distinct enough from one another, but the vast majority of his performance can be distilled into how he does different accents. The Beast is at turns truly frightening and rather silly, though it does settle into the latter by the film’s end. Willis’ David—whom the film goes so far as to straight-up identify as the reluctant hero archetype—feels every bit as vexing as in the original film, though not in the best ways. His unfeeling tone that we’re supposed to interpret as some sort of facade for dealing with pain feels more like shoddy development than it does a statement on the strong and silent type.

Still, certain twists and turns recall the faintest whispers of Shyamalan’s once-formidable Hitchcockian powers, even if he didn’t ever

Ah yes, Fyre Fest—the most glorious trainwreck of our time and one captured forever in Hulu’s Fyre Fraud documentary.

get the less-is-more in the cameo department memo; Glass thrills once or twice in unexpected ways. But then it’s back to long-winded monologues, overly dramatic thoughts on the human condition and—one of Shyamalan’s biggest weaknesses—the over-explanation of plot. We don’t need to be beaten over the head with reminders about foreshadowing! We’d much prefer, in fact, to be trusted as audiences to follow along and understand.

And it’s a shame, because when he wasn’t overindulging in symbolic camera angles or “Don’t forget that one thing!” dialogue, Shyamalan came perilously close to helping us get lost in Glass‘ starkly beautiful cinematography and characters. But we never forget it’s a movie we’re watching in a theater, no matter how badly we want to believe it could have been something super. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 129 min.

IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

+ GORGEOUS ALL AROUND - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

If Beale Street Could Talk is the most beautifully intimate film of 2018. Director Barry Jenkins’ follow-up to his award-winning film Moonlight holds up to that movie’s weight, adapting James Baldwin’s story of the same name that still powerfully resonates.

Set in Harlem in the early 1970s, we follow Tish and Fonny’s relationship; the childhood friends turned lovers have their lives flipped upside down when Fonny is incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit. But with the help of family, Tish discovers her true strength after revealing she’s with child. We were lucky to have seen so many creative contributions to black cinema in 2018, but Beale Street is a remarkable cut amongst the rest.

This movie would’ve been nothing without flawless performances, and no, there is not one weak actor in the lot. At the forefront, Kiki Layne and Stephan James are revelations as Tish and Fonny. Every conversation they have is layered, bestowing an incredible level of affection or, at turns, frustration, anxiety and longing. They’re captivating. Regina King as Tish’s mother deserves every single award imaginable. She takes command during every scene, her power shining through the camera lens like the sun. Some familiar faces pop up along the way as well, like Diego Luna, Dave Franco and Game of Thrones alums Pedro Pascal and Ed Skrein.

It’s hard to tell what Jenkins’ best quality is as a filmmaker, as both his eye and language approach perfection. Every moment is rich with emotion, lighting and depth, practically demanding you savor them. Every one of Jenkins’ collaborators gives their all, from the cinematographer, producCONTINUED ON PAGE 43

Britell, who scored Moonlight, brings yet another intensely moving score, dramatically raising the bar for every other composer in Hollywood.

Thus, Beale Street is rich with atmosphere, seamlessly including real-life photographs of racial strife in New York City in the ’70s. It simultaneously enriches the personal drama, and makes the viewer acknowledge that this singular story is part of a much bigger and more tragic narrative.

+ A PROMISING PRISM OF CHENEY - NO MORE INSIGHTFUL THAN CURATED WIKIPEDIA PAGES

“Vice” is the nickname President George W Bush gave Vice President Dick Cheney. It’s also a stock character in Elizabethan morality plays, a devilish opportunist often cloaked as Virtue, remorseless for evil acts. This is the promising prism through which director Adam McKay refracts Cheney, the brooding fulcrum of a right-wing movement that began with Nixon and continues through Trump.

But a feature film, like Shakespeare, requires other elements. Vice, an ambitious mess, is a parody in search of a punch line—a cheap-seats harangue no more insightful than Wikipedia. It opens with a disclaimer from the filmmakers, who ostensibly set out to reveal something about the notoriously inscrutable Cheney: “We did our fucking best.” As the film goes on, this defiant declaration sounds more and more like an exasperated mea culpa.

We first meet Cheney (a corpulent Christian Bale) in 1963, a hard-drinking “dirtbag” who goes from running high-tension line across Wyoming to a congressional internship on Capitol Hill without much transition. Cheney learns at the feet of Donald Rumsfeld (Steve Carell), a young representative with a Cheshire grin and a crass disposition. They worm their way into the White House, eventually scoring high-ranking positions amid the wreckage of Watergate.

McKay then speed-walks us to 2000, when Bush (Sam Rockwell) is begging Cheney to serve as his running mate. It’s intriguing to observe how the initially ambivalent Cheney sizes up Bush as a greenhorn and gradually reels him into augmenting the power of the vice president. Less

intriguing are McKay’s caricatures. Bale turns in a masterful act of mimicry that reveals little about the man or his motives. Lynne Cheney (Amy Adams) is just a sanctimonious prude. Rockwell pigeon-toes his way through a cornpone W that minimizes Bush’s culpability.

At one point, Alfred Molina appears as a waiter offering Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of their dinner party such menu items as “Enemy Combatant,” “Extreme Rendition,” and “Guantanamo Bay,” a surreal aside similar to the one McKay used in The Big Short. The scene is an apt metaphor for the whole of Vice, in which a parade of horrors—9/11, Abu Ghraib, Cheney shooting his friend in the face—swirl in a haze of visual tchotchkes and think-tank argot.

Accompanying it all is the needless nattering of a narrator, a common crutch of McKay’s, who dangles the identity of his omnipresent observer like the MacGuffin it becomes.

For all its faults, Vice nearly stumbles onto an ending that befits its tragic, dramatic aspirations: a montage of Cheney’s political casualties that fades to black on the image of his transplanted heart. But then McKay tacks on one of the most misguided mid-credits codas you’ll ever see, allowing Cheney to break the fourth wall and defend his actions in service of “keeping us safe.” It’s remorseless Vice, still as much a stock character as ever.
