SPECIAL ISSUE, MAY 29: SUMMER GUIDE
GET IT RIGHT I am a great fan of community journalism, in particular the Reporter, but I was very disappointed with points made in two pieces in the Summer Guide. “Discover Natural Wonders...” suggests weekend trips to Chaco Canyon and White Sands. Most locals stay away during the summer high heat. To those who might think “it goes without saying’ to take and drink LOTS OF WATER,” remember that two French tourists died for lack of water at White Sands in August 2015. Such advice is always necessary, especially for our visitors! The Fishing Grid fails our visitors and our water alike, advising that there is no
bag limit at Santa Cruz or Elephant Butte Reservoirs. For any and all public water, other than Special Trout Waters, New Mexico Game & Fish regulations state that a bag limit of five fish is considered any combination of trout and/or salmon with the exception that no more than two lake trout and/or two cutthroat trout may be included in the limit. Reel Life knows the rules well, just as they know there are no walleye or northerns in Santa Cruz. So thanks for all the info on issues and goings on; I hope the Reporter will exercise a bit more rigor when encouraging folks to explore New Mexico’s natural beauty.

RETHINK THE RETHINK The suggestion about deli containers is a good one but many municipalities across the country do not allow customers to bring in their own containers for safety reasons. I work in the grocery industry and it’s true in our state. Our over-reliance on convenience and not cooking from scratch is also at the root of our plastic use. One other thing consumers can do is pressure their favorite stores and restaurants to go plastic-free.

River Talk As a coalition demands more public engagement in Santa Fe River planning, SFR hit the banks for the public opinion
BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
O
ver the course of a sunny weekend, the trails along the Santa Fe River are alive with activity— bikers and joggers, children in swimsuits, teenagers and families picnicking in the parks along the river. It’s been a wet spring, and the banks have become lush thanks to more water flow than most residents can recall in recent years. “I think that the river is beautiful when it flows. I love it when there is water,” Brenda Reyes tells SFR in Spanish as she and her daughters Sheila and Leily walk along the southernmost stretch of river trail before Highway 599. The family lives in Riverside de Santa Fe Mobile Home Park, located near the trailhead. Reyes says she just discovered the trail, but already it is one of the things she loves most about her neighborhood. “It is very safe and they do good maintenance, and I feel happy that my family can be close to nature,” says Reyes. Sheila recently took a field trip to the city reservoirs with her class and learned about habitat conservation and water management. “We need to keep the river clean because animals could eat the trash,” she says, “but if we take care of the environment we can all be here together. The bunnies and the people and the dogs and everyone.” This trail is part of the Santa Fe River Greenway project, a collaboration between the city and the county to connect downtown to the Wastewater Treatment Plant west off Highway 599 via 15 miles of parks, trails and open space, of which about half have been completed. In 2007, the nonprofit American Rivers named the Santa Fe River as America’s Most Endangered River. Since
then, much has been done to restore the river’s riparian habitat, including the 2012 passage of the Living River Initiative, an ordinance pledging to maintain the ecological health of the river through periodic releases of up to 1,000 acre-feet per year of water from Nichols Reservoir to mimic some elements of natural flood cycles. Yet how to best fulfill the mandates of the law while maintaining adequate water levels in the reservoir and fulfilling the acequia water rights deliveries is a matter fraught with disagreement, says Galen Hecht, Rio Grande campaigner with Wild Earth Guardians. The organization started a wetlands restoration project near the Santa Fe Airport in 2010, and is part of a wide coalition of groups and citizens who recently sent a letter to the city calling for greater public involvement in a range of water management issues including the living river. Among other things, the letter claims that the city is not fully meeting its responsibilities as outlined in the 2012 ordinance. However, Santa Fe River Commission Staff Liaison and River Watershed Coordinator Melissa McDonald says that the city makes careful calculations based on winter snowpack and early precipitation to determine the amount of water allowed down the historic river channel in accordance with the ordinance. This number, she says, can be as low as 300 acre-feet per year in drought conditions.
Near Frenchy’s Field, Bethzaide Juarez and her daughter Lavender Rodriguez walk their dogs down the bank to romp in the water. Juarez says people who live here shouldn’t have to choose between a living river and municipal water management. “We just need to teach Santa Fe to be more waterwise,” says Juarez. “The other day we saw the sprinklers going on city property up by Alameda, and it had been raining all week and it was even raining that day, too! I don’t think the city engages the public enough. That’s why we need to speak up when we get the chance.” Further down the path, two bicylists who live off of Agua Fría stop to tell SFR the restoration of the river has added immensely to the quality of their lives. One of the women, Lynne Canning, says that years ago she worked with a group to approach stakeholders and property owners along the riverbanks to get easements on the land to enable the restoration. “This project has always been done in conjunction with the community,” Canning says, “and without the community and the city working hand in hand, it wouldn’t exist at all.” Danielle Gothie adds, “Part of it is establishing the riparian area so that our wildlife can be here—birds in particular. It has been great to watch swallows come

back and inhabit the area.” But at least one person says their greatest concern is municipal water supply. “The water level in the reservoirs depends on snowpack, and unfortunately at some point we will need to prioritize people over wildlife,” says Carlos Vigil, hiking past Two Mile Pond along the Nature Conservancy’s Santa Fe Canyon Preserve Trail that starts on Upper Canyon Road. He says his grandfather once owned a house on Cerro Gordo Road and used to take him to pick fruit from the abandoned orchards that have long since disappeared from the riverbanks. “I love this river, but our climate is changing. I have concerns about who would suffer first from water shortages in the future, because it would probably be the more poverty-stricken people who are already struggling to live here in Santa Fe,” he says. “This is why true public participation and not just participation of environmental groups is important.” SFREPORTER.COM

Marco Serna meets with constituents at Taos Mesa Brewing.
On the Trail with Marco Serna BY W I L L CO ST E L LO w i l l @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
M
arco Serna, the clean-cut district attorney for New Mexico’s First Judicial District, eschewed the usual blue jeans and buttondown campaign trail garb when he toured Congressional District 3 last weekend, opting instead for a three-piece suit. Serna is a slick campaigner and public speaker with local cred—his mother owns a jewelry store in Española—and, more memorably, his father Eric Serna was a longtime New Mexico political fixture who retired amid an investigation of wrongdoing. The younger Serna has taken the “everyone should just get along” tack in a time of increasingly polarized politics, decrying the lack of decorum in Washington. He says he wishes we could all deliberate in a civil manner, and he thinks Donald Trump is unfit for office and should be impeached. But is there substance under his style? SFR followed Serna on the trail on Saturday, making stops in Mora, Raton and Taos. All along the way, the 36-year-old says he found there are three key issues among Democrats in the district: the opioid crisis, small business development and bouncing Trump out of office. Mostly though, the first-term DA talks about talking.
“It’s good to have these discussions, even if we disagree,” Serna tells SFR in Taos. “You know, we can disagree, but let’s at least have a meaningful discussion. I think that’s a huge problem in Washington. There’s no meaningful discussion. It’s just party versus party.” Although when it comes to the president, Serna sees a man with whom no dialogue can be had. “With regards to President Trump, it’s clear he wants no productive discussion,” he says, adding that the Mueller report shows that the president is a corrupt actor. Serna’s role as district attorney for Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and Los Alamos counties, he says, is to enforce accountability. He says he would continue to uphold that priority in Congress if he won the seat, regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican was under the microscope. But when asked about the issues that mattered to them, people in the rural areas didn’t bring up “meaningful discussion” to SFR. Bengie Regensberg, chair of the Mora County Democratic Party, was eating breakfast at the Main Street Grill in Mora when SFR arrived. When asked if Marco Serna had arrived yet, Regensberg, a middle-aged man sporting a goatee and camo hat, replied, “Who’s Marco Serna?” The candidate came in soon after and introduced himself to Regensberg. They discussed some of the issues that were im-
Santa Fe district attorney wants to have a discussion with you on his way to Congress portant to Mora County voters. Grazing rights and federal funding for ranchers were foremost in Regensberg’s mind, but he also says even most Democratic voters there are broadly opposed to abortion and gun control—issues he predicted would be a problem for Serna, but not unique to him. Ultimately though, Regensberg was impressed, saying Serna was “definitely a top candidate.” “He looks like he has energy,” Regensberg says.
You know, we can disagree, but let’s at least have a meaningful discussion. I think that’s a huge problem in Washington. -District Attorney Marco Serna
NEWS
In Raton, at the Enchanted Grounds coffee shop, there was more enthusiasm for the candidate’s visit—all of it from five older members of the local Democratic Party who all knew each other, and from Mark McDonald, a former candidate for the same seat who has since dropped out and endorsed Serna. Serna, who won a three-way primary and then fought off a Republican in the general election to get his prosecutor job in 2016, says he’s the candidate who has held elected office the longest among a dense field of Democratic congressional hopefuls lining up for the 2020 primary. Serna says that separates him from the others running for Rep. Ben Ray Luján’s seat, which Luján is vacating to run for US Senate—although Serna beats out Joseph Sanchez, a freshman state legislator from Alcalde, for time in office by only two years. Other contenders include Teresa Leger Fernandez, a Santa Fe social justice attorney and member of President Barack Obama’s Advisory Council on Historic Preservation; and Valerie Plame, a former CIA spy who was thrust into national headlines after the George W Bush administration blew her cover, and who also lives in the Santa Fe area. Two longtime Colfax County Democrats, Nancy Passikoff and Peg Albert, say behavioral health, including addiction services, is their top issue. “I don’t want to hear about suicide and why it’s here,” Passikoff says. “We need staff! We don’t need another study.” The women say they were intrigued by Serna, but weren’t sure where their votes were going yet; they’re waiting to see how the campaign plays out before making a decision. Serna often returns to an issue that was central to his campaign for district attorney: the opioid crisis. He insists it’s a problem that he has been working to solve as DA, and that he could do even more in Congress. “Treat [addicts] like human beings,” Serna says. “Stop treating addiction like it’s a crime. … Especially in rural communities, we don’t have the people, nor do we have enough services to deal with the problem. In part I blame that on the previous administration. Susana Martinez decimated these programs. … We really need to focus on bringing that back in rural New Mexico—and in Santa Fe and in Albuquerque, for that matter.” The race still has a long way to go. Democrats in New Mexico will cast their votes in a closed primary on June 2, 2020. Over the weekend, Serna promised rural New Mexicans that he would be back to speak with them again before then.

Home(less) SANTA FEANS WHO SUFFER FROM MENTAL ILLNESS ALSO OFTEN LIVE ON THE BRINK OF HOMELESSNESS
to meet the expectations of the society they inhabit, there are two options: Play along enough to vie for and access social services, or live on the streets. The latter is a nightmare few can imagine, and the former is a limited commodity that can be yanked away for the slightest misstep. Drinkwater and Graham have managed to grab hold of one of those helping hands, and are struggling against their landlords and themselves not to let go. Now, they’re in a perpetual state of eviction limbo. Their plight illustrates a broader problem in Santa Fe, where finding a place to live is tough even for the most stable: Those with an inability to color between society’s lines struggle even more to keep a roof over their heads, when those roofs are in high demand and short supply. Housing service providers, part of whose mission is to serve people like Drinkwater and Graham, say violence and other serious crimes are deal-breakers for people who want continued housing. SFR has found that late payments and other smaller violations are at least as likely to land people back on the streets.

odi Drinkwater and her husband Darrin Graham do not live a lavish life. Their humble one-bedroom apartment in the Village Sage development off Jaguar Road, across the street from Capital High School on Santa Fe’s Southside, is at first glance nondescript. Or at least it would be if it were empty. It would likely be cramped if, to put it as gently as possible, a normal couple lived there. Its current occupants are—by their own admission—not normal. With Drinkwater and Graham in residence, the apartment is labyrinthian. Piles of books reach toward the ceiling, plants grasp at shoulders as visitors enter, and elements

of the couple’s various art projects are scattered across pieces of mismatched furniture. Self-described scavengers who never miss an opportunity to make use of something tossed aside, their apartment is an allegory for their lives. Mentally ill, historically homeless and familiar with the interior of a jail cell, both are even more at odds with the world than their living quarters suggest. “Almost everything you see was for free from, like, the library or the side of the road or whatever, or from trash places around town,” Drinkwater tells SFR. But for them, and many others with similar vulnerabilities, housing is tenuous. For people on disability, people without the capability of consistent employment or anyone else with a chronic inability
The eccentric pair, he with long hair and a face that looks a bit like Iggy Pop, she with eyes that betray each and every one of her myriad troubles, often speak in tandem. One will start a sentence and the other will finish it. Graham will begin to discuss a thought that hasn’t quite solidified, and Drinkwater will clarify it. She will go into great depth about a topic, and he will distill it into a single declarative statement. They think and act as a team. Drinkwater was born in Witchita, Kansas, and moved to Santa Fe to become an artist. Here, she met her husband, who is originally from Albuquerque. Drinkwater found some success as a creative, working sporadically for some of the City Different’s galleries and winning first place in SFR’s 2008 and 2010 writing contests in the fiction category, for short stories titled “Jesus Sleeping” and “No Angel,” respectively. The couple still uses their creative muscles painting, creating DIY art installations, and conducting impromptu skits for their YouTube channel, A Land of Tranquil Light. But the pressure of their situation has taken its toll. “To come here with my dreams as an artist, and end up homeless and crazy,” Drinkwater laments. “Thank you, Santa Fe.” She readily discusses her condition and what caused it.

nothing in particular while M*A*S*H played quietly on a reclaimed tube TV in the corner. Incense is always burning, and Drinkwater, a practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism, often utters a chant, nam-myoho-renge-kyo—a Japanese phrase referring to the Lotus Sutra—at herself, her guests, nosy reporters, or simply the universe. It’s peaceful. It hasn’t always been this way.

But, in no great surprise, having a home has been a positive effect for them. On my first visit to the apartment they share with their two Chihuahuas, Dobby and Luna, the couple gave me a necklace they had made from a spark plug, which Drinkwater says would help in moments where my fuse might be getting short.

known as multiple personality disorder, chronic depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, she was a victim of human trafficking at a young age. One thing she does not suffer from: any illusions that she’s got it together. “I’m very anti-authoritartian. My mental illness is such that if someone in authority says something to me, I will automatically take it in a bad way,” Drinkwater says. “Really [their intention was] not a bad way; this is something I have to work out in my brain, that authority could be saying something that’s not evil.” Without prompting, she’ll also admit she and her husband are not easy to be around. They often have meltdowns or other episodes, sometimes fight loudly, and harangue those who they feel are treating them unfairly. She has been “banished” from the Santa Fe Community College for climbing onto a table, disrupting students, and exhorting them to stand up for their rights. Graham was similarly banned from a grocery store for blaring notes through his trumpet in the parking lot, and Drinkwater joined him in retail purgatory shortly after by telling the employee who asked him to leave: “Fuck you!”
Drinkwater and Graham have been on and off the streets since they met, and Graham much longer. Drinkwater was never homeless in Kansas, but after moving to Santa Fe and experiencing worsening symptoms of mental illness, she grapples to keep a job or a home. Graham, who has struggled with mental health issues including substance abuse for years, was in and out of shelters before meeting his “sweetheart,” as he exclusively refers to Drinkwater. Since their tribulations began, they spent a lot of nights in their car, “Apocalypso,” a vehicle that was repossessed last year. They’ve also stayed in places like the city-owned Interfaith Community Shelter on Cerrillos Road, more commonly called Pete’s Place. “Call it Pete’s Pets,” Graham says. “That’s actually a more endearing name.” “The homeless call it Pete’s Pets,” Drinkwater clarifies. The former pet shop was donated for use as a shelter until the city purchased it in 2010. Northern New Mexico’s only “minimum barrier shelter,” Pete’s accepts anyone, including substance users, during the winter months. In the summer, it limits its overnight stays to women and children, but still offers meals, showers,

It Takes a Village Sage
The Village Sage apartment complex was built in 2011 with help from a federal subsidy called the Low Income Housing Tax Credit. It’s owned by the Santa Fe Housing Trust, another nonprofit, and

clothes and other services to the city’s homeless population. “Most of the people we serve have mental health issues,” says Joe JordanBerenis, executive director at Pete’s. “Usually—I’m not a clinician—but they’ve experienced some form of trauma, beyond just being homeless. That sometimes complicates things. Some do self-medicate, no two ways about it.” The Life Link, a nonprofit that helps “hungry, homeless and displaced individuals and families achieve self-sufficiency” through emergency assistance, housing, and employment and addiction services, has two case workers and a counselor stationed at Pete’s Monday through Friday. Life Link often finds people who are in need of permanent housing and directs them to institutions in town that provide it. The organization uses a “vulnerability index” to help decide who gets an apartment. The assesment tool “helps us prioritize how we’re filling those permanent supportive housing vacancies,” says Anna Cale of the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness. “We have a very limited number of those vacancies in our community and unfortunately we have more people than we have placements.” The criteria for the index includes mental health and overall health, substance use, social status and other characteristics to determine who is most in need of being put into a permanent home. In fact, that’s how Drinkwater and Graham managed to get housed. After they were connected to the Life Link while staying in a shelter, they received a voucher for housing at the Village Sage development.
The property manager for Village Sage ends up in court for tenant matters more frequently than other area apartment complex managers.
contains 60 apartments intended for low-income residents. Fifteen of those are set aside as “special needs units,” apartments for those transitioning out of homelessness or suffering from mental illness. Life Link continues to provide services and case workers to the residents it places in these apartments, while the day-to-day management is handled by the Housing Trust’s hired property manager, Monarch Properties, an Albuquerque firm that operates in New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. But whether those services work, or whether they work fast enough to stave off eviction from an often litigious management company, is an open question. Housing Trust Executive Director Justin Robison says there are plenty of reasons for bringing evictions against tenants. “Once Life Link makes the referral, that person, their ongoing existence at that property, is entirely based on their behavior and their ability to follow the rules,” Robison tells SFR. “That’s enforced by our property manager at
Monarch. If there is an issue, our longterm role has been to mitigate it or intervene if possible. We have evicted people who have not behaved well, have been really destructive to the community, engaged in criminal acts, vandalized the property, those kinds of things.” Violence, Robison says, will result in immediate eviction. But, he says, they try to be flexible. “In other cases we try to intervene and mitigate and talk to the person and get their social worker involved, and get them that second or third chance,” Robison says. “Unfortunately that doesn’t always work out. Ultimately, the enforcer, the bad guy, is really the Housing Trust. But it’s our property manager that’s really doing the eviction. We’ve hired them, they’re our employee.” Robison adds that any time Monarch tries to evict someone, it happens with the Housing Trust’s knowledge and approval. This includes Drinkwater and Graham’s recent encounters with Monarch, Robison says. The couple has appeared in Santa Fe Magistrate Court three times
since they moved in two years ago, pitted against Monarch representatives each time. The management company first brought them before a judge in November; the couple appealed and won, only to be summoned again three months later. They won that case as well. Monarch Properties did not respond to numerous requests for comment from SFR over several weeks about the cases against Drinkwater and Graham and others.
What Can Be Done?
The couple’s story reinforces the idea that housing placements are by no means permanent. Many of the people who find housing end up coming back through the homeless shelter within a couple of years, Ed Archuleta, executive director of St. Elizabeth’s Shelter, tells SFR. “Oh yes, we see that a lot, unfortunately,” Archuleta says. About 28% of male clients come back within a two-year period, and 75% of those come back within the first year, according to Archuleta. “There’s some folks that we get housed

three, four times, and they keep coming back,” he says. Legal action against tenants on the part of the development managers is common due both to management companies seeking profit and the tenants’ own dubious grasp of the behavior expected of them. Hundreds of cases are on file at the court between Monarch’s various properties and their tenants, more than Santa Fe’s more comfortable housing offerings, like the Dakota Canyon (39 cases since 2012) or Talavera apartment complexes (no court records over the same time period were found on the court’s website). Non-payment of rent cases comprise 34 of the 74 cases filed by Village Sage since 2012. Oftentimes, according to Magistrate Court Judge David Segura, taking tenants to court is a tactic used by management companies to force them to pay up, and not just with formerly homeless or mentally ill people. “What’ll happen is a landlord will file a petition for restitution because somebody didn’t pay the rent,” Segura says. “And between the time the petition is filed and the court date, the tenant ends up paying the rent, and the landlord just says, ‘We’re happy.’” A disability check in New Mexico pays, on average, $749 a month, according to Jordan-Berelis. Even with affordable housing vouchers that cover the majority of rent costs, Santa Fe’s high cost of living means making even modest rent payments a challenge if one is incapable of wage labor. Nonprofit agencies cover
Housing Trust Executive Director Justin Robison says property managers typically try help those in “special needs” apartments stay put.
75% of rent payments, but the remaining quarter is up to the tenants. In Drinkwater and Graham’s case, their monthly rent share is $165. “Non-payment of rent is a huge one, a lot of times even when people do get a subsidy, they don’t pay their portion,” Life Link Housing Coordinator Lara Yoder tells SFR. But managers are not popular among either tenants or the housing advocates who spend their days housing them. “Affordable housing property management is a challenging job that involves working with client populations that often have additional needs beyond a traditional renter,” says Daniel Werwath, chief operating officer of New Mexico Interfaith Housing. “That said, many management agencies are under-equipped for that task.” Archuleta agrees. “I wish the property managers were trained a little more in being able to handle folks with disabilities,” he tells SFR. “I do think that is a problem, and that’s fairly common with property managers in town. They’re real quick to evict people.” Constant threat of eviction can also have serious negative effects on people who, even in stable situations, are often on the brink of a meltdown. Drinkwater says the eviction proceed-
ta Fe (Village Sage and the Stage Coach Apartments), with another looking to be filled in September, and 25% of the apartments in each complex are set aside for people with disabilities or those transitioning out of homelessness. That’s only 30 units across all its holdings. “From the ethical standpoint, or the greater good standpoint, we want people to be in there that can be in there for a long time and have a happy life and have safety and security that they’ve never had,” Robison says. “But that doesn’t always work. And it’s an ongoing part of our daily, weekly, monthly struggles that the people who get these units aren’t always ready for them.” The city helps how it can, according to Alexandra Ladd, special projects manager for -Alexandra Ladd, Santa Fe’s Affordable Housing special projects manager, Department. Affordable Housing Department “The issue is, we have hardly any money,” Ladd says. “So I’m throwing $100,000, maybe $200,000 towards a construction project, which is nothing.

TALK TALK We obsess over music like a religion, gleaning what we can from lyrics and sounds, following our favorite artists online and real life in often futile attempts to get to know our heroes. But, as it happens, it’s always better to hear it from the horse’s mouth. Enter AMP Concerts’ newest series, whereupon select touring music-makers who play in the Railyard this summer take the time to meet and engage with fans in conversation about their material and careers. The first in the series features John Paul White, the onetime member of Grammy-nominated indie-folk duo The Civil Wars. Since returning to the solo singer-songwriter circuit in 2016, White’s reinvigorated his tunes with a focused Nashville sound and all the introspective lyricism one could want from a musician and storyteller. Hear more stories when he talks at Violet Crown, where there is also beer. (ADV)

LECTURE SUN/9 UNEDITED Remember around Oscars time when the film world bemoaned and scorned an announcement that the Best Editing category would no longer be televised? The Academy wised up and reversed that decision, but it did foster an important understanding among those uninitiated in the nuts and bolts of film: Editing is effing important. It might even be the most important aspect of why and how the films we love run and appear as they do. Would you like to learn more? Good news, then—Hollywood editor Paul Barnes speaks on the matter this week. Barnes dispels the mysteries of the editing process, proving its vital importance and teaching a thing or two that might just deepen your appreciation while he’s at it. He’ll use two films he’s edited, The Thin Blue Line and The Roosevelts, to illustrate his point; you’ll be amazed.

EVENT WED/5
Have Orchestra, Will Travel Local student musicians seek funds for travel to South Korea It’s a bit unusual for teen musicians from multiple schools to come together as a band, but in the case of one newly minted local youth orchestra comprised of students from the New Mexico School for the Arts, the Mandela International Magnet School and the Santa Fe Waldorf School, it’s about something larger than mere school alliegiance. Eight such students who range between 13 and 16 have gathered under the tutelage of local orchestra teachers Carla Kountoupes and Lee Harvey to attend the first-ever International Youth Orchestra Festival in Santa Fe’s sister city of Icheon, South Korea, next month and, according to Kountoupes, it’s been magical. Kountoupes, a violinist in addition to her educational duties, also says she’s a big fan of the sister cities program, and that the students who make up the band had to navigate a rigorous application process to be selected. “We create an atmosphere where we recognize that music is a place to come together,” Kountoupes tells SFR. “And it’s not just our students who are playing.” In addition to Santa Fe’s offering, similar student groups from Japan, France, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere have been invited to perform. Each chose a piece of music specific to their corner of the globe, and each will perform a repertoire
consisting of those choices. “It’s an opportunity that fell into our laps for our students that I know doesn’t come every day,” Kountoupes explains. “They’re all super-motivated and super-awesome and super-talented students.” And while the invitation is prestigious and the city of Icheon has offered to provide room and board for the fledgling musicians during their stay, the kids themselves are on the hook for airfare. What to do? Organize a fundraising event. With assistance from Kountoupes and Harvey, the student orchestra performs on the evening of Wednesday June 5. This accompanies another performance from local percussion group Smokin’ Bachi Taiko, a silent auction for items such as music lessons, Korean ceramics and other delights, and, perhaps the jewel in the event’s crown: traditional Korean food from Albuquerque’s Korean American Association of New Mexico.

Still, Kim feels the music itself is simple and based on formulas, hence the descriptor “pop.” But the Beach Boys were ostensibly a pop band, and that made for no less complexity in their arrangements. Gerunding’s music is more stripped-down than Brian Wilson and company, granted, but it doesn’t feel proper to claim it’s just pop music. “In my head, I’m just following the formula,” Kim tells SFR. “I’m just doing one verse-to-bridge-to-chorus, and kind of changing it up a little bit and making small alterations.” Albuquerque-based Kim draws parallels to classical Gerunding’s expansive sound music with its repetitions and tackles identity, culture and self alterations of motifs within longer movements. Such attention to detail and musical know-how reveals what makes the songs a bit headier than the usual Kim describes the concept of Gerund- in a religious household, specifically as a verse-chorus-verse pop fare. ing’s upcoming debut full-length as being Christian. “What drives me insane with the idea conceptual—not in any operatic sense, “In my teens I thought I was the antiof pop or, like, Imagine Dragons is that but as a thematically cohesive work in christ,” he sings on “Gyuppo,” setting up at this point of history, we have so much three acts. an apocalyptic verse that crashes into to steal from and to be inspired by,” says “All of the titles are what’s known as the song’s rumbling outro, replete with Kim. “How, out of all of that’s available ‘semantic gaps,’” Kim explains, referring shoegaze and dream-pop tones.

t’s hard to pin down what it is that makes pop music … well, pop, especially as it’s become more of a genre signifier mired in a specific song structure, rather than than actually being popular. It’s a question that doesn’t stump Mag Kim, founder and primary songwriter of Albuquerque band Gerunding, but it does cause a pause in the conversation. In a way, “pop” is the perfect descriptor for the band’s sound, which is admittedly nebulous, though built with the familiar song blueprint of verses, bridges and choruses. “Every aspect is very intentional,” says Kim, whose careful songwriting tends to explore facets of identity, culture and personal struggle while anchored to strong melodies and glittering, unbridled guitar.

with Jamie Durfee
COURTESY JAMIE DURFEE
Most people didn’t even know about the Santa Fe rule that to rent a casita, the owner must also live on the property—at least until Jamie Durfee made headlines in recent months because of eviction proceedings due to that very ordinance. It’s an archaic part of the building code, and has since turned into a citywide dispute, with terms like “affordable housing supply” and “economic impact” being tossed around. SFR caught up with Durfee to see how her life has been going since a fateful letter in March thrust her into the middle of a political free-for-all. (Will Costello) City Council was supposed to decide on the rule change at its last meeting, but pushed it back until the end of this month. Is it nerve-wracking to have to wait to see if you’ll be able to stay in your casita? Let’s hope it doesn’t get pushed out again, right? My fear is that for people who were pro-ordinance change, it just gives them more time to become disinterested. It’s a hot topic; you want people engaged, you want people part of the conversation, and I think the City Council’s reason for pushing it out was to allow for additional input. But I just worry that there’s enough room there for disinterest or disengagement. It’s a bit nerve-wracking for sure. It’s weird being in limbo in any situation in life, not knowing if you get to stay or have to go. I keep thinking about leaving this casita and this living situation, and I’ve really enjoyed it, despite everything. I was really looking forward to staying. So yeah, it’s tough. It gets tiring when the city keeps pushing stuff out. You’ve become a bit of a political activist, organizing on social media, writing op-eds, etc. Is advocacy something you could see yourself doing more of after this is over? It’s something I can take part in while still making a livelihood. Don’t get me wrong, I toyed with the idea, and had people pull me aside, and still have people who pull me aside to say ‘Do you see yourself in government at some point?’ I definitely considered running, but it’s just not a viable option. And I hate that. ... I’ve kind of encountered this situation that even this argument that I’m putting out there for this casita in a South Capitol neighborhood feels kind of pretentious. There are people in much worse situations. For most young people, a City Council position isn’t realistic if you’re burdened with student loans. At the very least I’ll be attending City Council meetings and I’ll support anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. If the council decides to keep the rule, what are the odds you’ll have to leave town and pick up somewhere else? If that’s actually what happens, that’s going to be devastating. I really don’t think that this one concerning the owner-tenant occupancy that directly affects me, I don’t think it’s as huge of an issue as people in the opposition are making it out to be. I think it’s a real factless argument. But with that being said, that’s going to be a bummer. I think I’d be more disappointed staying in Santa Fe, you know? Knowing that I’d have to deal with people who can’t make a decision that I think is really for the betterment of the city. It’d be a bummer staying here just because of that. But I’ve played with the idea of maybe moving back in with my family, so I can maybe save up for a down payment on a home. I’ve been doing some pretty consistent research on housing and apartments in Santa Fe, I’m going to be paying at least $400-$500 more for something comparable, and I’m literally in 550 square feet.

He’s not wrong, so I caught up with him for a rapid-fire series of Qs and As ahead of his new ongoing Friday afternoon class at Meow Wolf to learn more. Find more online at SFReporter.com. SFR: What do they call you? MR: It depends on who it is. They call me Mike at Felipe’s Tacos. What do you do? I don’t know. But you’re in the art game? I suppose so. I make stuff. Would you call yourself an illustrator? I don’t know if I would, but someone would. I do spend six hours a day drawing, whatever that makes me. What would you call yourself ? If people ask, I’ll say I’m an artist or some such, but I rarely describe myself. I find it weird. Why? To misattribute and mis-paraphrase the old Walt Whitman quote, ‘Blah, blah, blah, I contain multitudes—so what if I contradict myself?’ I like confusing people, and I think a big part of my artwork and maybe my life has to do with putting people on their heels and having them not know how to react. What’s the story of your work itself,
if there is one? I would say there are a lot of wistful talking animals that struggle through the same mundane neuroses that we do. It’s autobiographical? In a sense, I guess, but my autobiography itself is super-boring. I hear you’ve been an art teacher for some time. How’d you get into that? Why’d you get into that? For one, it was, at the time, post2009, when I graduated from Lewis and Clark College, and ... the only jobs I could get were for teaching. But that worked fine for me, because I’ve always felt a calling. My calling to teach stems from the severe alienation of middle school and high school. I consider one of the most important lessons that any teacher could give to a student to be non-conformity. Is non-conformity part of your curriculum? Definitely. During the time I was teaching in public schools while being age-appropriate and safetyconscious and following slated guidelines, I considered the example of being weird but cool to be a crucial one for kids who are just understanding their identities. I can count maybe four teachers I had at Santa Fe High who did that for me. Do you have some kind of mission statement? I wouldn’t call it a mission statement, but my creative process is always
Art class, doodles and misremembered Walt Whitman with the local artist
one of discovery. If I’m not surprised, then it’s all over. Ariel Pink has a song which I feel like articulates my process, called ‘The Results Are Always Interesting.’ Not always good, not always high quality, but interesting. To again misquote, Miles Davis said, ‘There are no mistakes.’ I agree, but I also admit that that is a self-serving admission, because I make plenty of them. Do you have hopes, then? I like reaching people on an intimate level where it seems like the voice is coming from their own head. Where or with whom do you generally work? I work a lot at home by myself or
A&C
with my dog Snoopy, but I also work in [Meow Wolf’s] House of Eternal Return frequently and have ongoing mural projects there—albeit, kind of guerrilla mural projects. I like to pop in and make additions to existing art works of mine without permission or notice. Has that been a problem? No. I can see numerous ways in which it could be, but thankfully, the liberty I granted myself has produced stuff that people like. For the class, why doodles? It’s specifically aimed at people who don’t think they can draw or be creative in a general way. After adolescence, there comes this imagined distinction where you’re either an artist or not. If you ask them to draw, some people become terrified, and it’s something I think everyone should have permission to do. For one, people will discover they can do way, way, way more than they were aware of, and hopefully I can impart the idea that any sort of elitist attitudes or haughty criticism of art is total BS. What do you think or hope taking this class might unlock for someone? That they have a deep mental dive into themselves and learn a lot about what they think and feel and how to articulate that. Everyone will be given a doodling sketchbook, and my hope is that they become intimate personal tools and companions. If you had to add one more thing? My biggest fear in life is a late descent from the summit from Everest where I get caught up high in the darkness as a gigantic thunderstorm rolls in.

ACTING OUT
Lighten Up (& Bundle Up)
here are a few significant breaks from previous years’ traditions (if three years is even long enough to establish a tradition) at this season’s Shakespeare in the Garden. Presented by Santa Fe Classic Theater, in partnership with The Shakespeare Guild and the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, this show comes earlier in the season in hopes of avoiding monsoon rains. The set is stripped-down, the stage setup is flipped 180 degrees, and the cast skews considerably younger than last year’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and 2017’s The Tempest. It’s a lot of change for a young series. But it all absolutely works. If you don’t know the plot of Romeo and Juliet, first off, your high school English teacher failed you—and second off, it’s pretty simple: Two teenagers fall in love, but their families hate each other, and then basically everyone dies. It’s perhaps Shakespeare’s best-known work, endlessly popular for its dreamy, flowery language, accessible themes and invigorating action. I set aside my curmudgeonly “But why put this show on ever again?” feelings and just enjoyed the fact that director Patrick Briggs really knows how to cast, and that Santa Fe is lucky enough to have a charming outdoor theater in a garden. Happily, every actor pulls their weight. There was no weak link, no small feat for a cast of 17. Many familiar names graced the program, names I’ve praised in this column—Miles Blitch, Tyler Nunez, Ann Roylance, Evan Dalzell, Lisa Foster and more. Also unlike previous years, the leading roles were not imported from out of state. There were a few overwhelming standouts, and to start with one you may not expect: Nicholas Kohnen’s Friar Lawrence was truly one of the highlights of the whole
production. Kohnen is impossibly young for the role, which at first gave me pause,. But he has affected a perfect, kind-hearted fairy-godfather manner of speech as he calmly consults Romeo in his tribulations and wanders the garden, picking herbs. Every time Kohnen came onstage I was both comforted and excited to learn what he’d do next (as if I didn’t know). Lawrence’s foil, Juliet’s Nurse, was also impeccable. Mary Beth Lindsey was positively born for the role of the bawdy caretaker (disclosure: Lindsey and I are longtime acquaintances—but see her in a single performance and you’ll know I’d praise her no matter what). She had the audience practically rolling in the gravel LYNN ROYLANCE

aisles with her asides, inflected perfectly for even children and newbies to understand, all frantic energy and nudge-nudgewinking. Between just the Nurse and Lawrence, I could have been satisfied enough. But there was even more goodness here; namely, this Romeo. Each time I see Noah Segard onstage, I’m more impressed. I’d even go so far as to say that Segard may be one of the finest up-andcoming actors Santa Fe can boast. He’s heretofore played smaller roles, and he finally gets his due here as the lead. Segard has it all: A rich, resonant voice, a spectral range of emotions, an engaging and charming demeanor, and a personality so comfortable onstage it’s easy to forget you’re watching a play. Segard is the real deal, and Santa Fe is incredibly lucky that he was lured here from Kansas by his fiancé (another thespian, Zoe Burke, who doesn’t appear onstage this time, but who has previously played opposite Segard). Also notable is actress Alyssa Bonanno as Juliet, a newcomer both to Santa Fe and to Shakespeare, quoth her bio. In a small town like ours, it’s wonderful to watch individual actors spread their wings show-to-show, but there’s a special thrill reserved for seeing someone come out of the blue with a great performance. I hope Bonanno performs more in Santa Fe; her Juliet was endearing without being childish, her measured delivery occasionally high-pitched without being shrill or immature. And what is R&J without a cocky Mercutio? Santa Fe regular Hania Stocker steps up to the role with overwhelming
THEATER
energy. At the invited dress rehearsal, a gaggle of Upstart Crows (the classical theater troupe for ages 10-18) came by after their rehearsal to enjoy the production, and Stocker’s endless sexual innuendo and blush-inducing delivery inspired no shortage of coquettish laughs and mouths agape from the students (and, let’s be real here, the adults too). Be still my heart. Stocker is always a chameleon onstage, and really the only aspect of the character of Mercutio that I would have changed was his death. (Oh, um, spoiler alert? We all knew about that, right?) I wanted it to be bigger, more poignant. The energy Stocker lends his scenes perhaps causes his fellow actors to move too quickly, which is usually not a problem—but here, I needed some silence to change the entire overarching mood, as his demise famously does in this story. There’s so much more to say; like how beautiful Jasminka Jesic’s costumes were, as ever, or how the Capulets greased along the stage like slime as the Mountagues (yes, spelled and pronounced that way) appropriately bulldozed over them with humor and exhausting snark. But I’m out of room, as usual. Enjoy the show, folks— but, for best results, heed my tips: • Arrive early and bring a picnic. Doors to the garden open at 5:30 pm (which gives you an hour and a half until showtime), and Renaissance period music wafts among the flowers and along the dirt paths. It’s downright magical. • Bring a blanket. Or maybe a few blankets. And a winter coat. Maybe gloves. Even when these shows happened last July, teeth were chattering by the time we headed home at 9:30 pm. Media night saw a low of 52 as I left, but it felt like it could have snowed. • Bring a flashlight, or have your cell phone light handy. The footpaths are lighted, but not terribly well. They are very flat and safe, and the stage setup makes the whole shebang more accessible to those with mobility devices, but if you have any fears of tripping, better safe than sorry. • Lighten up. Even I am guilty of rolling my eyes when I heard we had yet another production of R&J coming down the pike—but honestly, it was fun and nicely done. Just enjoy thyself.
ROMEO AND JULIET Nicholas Kohnen, center, may look young to play Friar Lawrence, but he pulls it off better than could most folks three times his age. Don’t believe me? Go see for yourself.

One giant leap for plant-based meats BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
t’s getting to be barbecue time and, fittingly, burgers have been in the news a lot lately. Not the “usual” kind of burger, though, but a new kind of burger. One that’s plant-based and better for our bodies and the environment. Though Burger King has had a MorningStar brand veggie burger on its menus for years, it was pretty big news when the chain recently began testing a new kind of vegetarian patty—one that apparently looks and tastes like beef. The tests must have gone well, because the chain announced it plans to roll out “Impossible” versions of its infamous Whopper; the “Impossible” being the brand name of the patty BK intends to use. Similarly, fast-Mexican chain Del Taco already offers an Impossible taco, made of the same stuffs. Other large chains, from White Castle to the Cheesecake Factory, also offer an Impossible Burger. So what’s all the fuss about? Basically, it’s the creation of a vegetarian burger that tastes like and mimics the texture of ground beef. Traditionally, the complaints about veggie burgers have revolved around their texture, tending to be more spongy and dense than a burger. Though some manufacturers have come out with pretty good options, such as Boca Grillers, many were still waiting for that one giant leap, for the veggie burger with

the crumble and chew of ground beef. Also of increasing importance to many is eating for the environment. Traditional feedlot beef production is inherently cruel and incredibly destructive to the planet. Cattle grazing is hard on land, turning the Midwest into the second coming of the Dust Bowl, and it takes a whole lot of resources to turn a very large vegetarian animal into food. According to a 2014 study conducted by Bard College, the Weizmann Institute of Science and Yale University, producing one pound of beef requires 1,799 gallons of water, 12 pounds of grain, 35 pounds of topsoil, and the equivalent of one gallon of gasoline. In broader terms, livestock-based food production causes about one-fifth of all global greenhouse emissions. Animal agriculture in general occupies almost half the land on earth and consumes a quarter of our fresh water. It’s an inexcusable amount of waste. By contrast, production of these Impossible Burgers uses 96% less land, 87% less water, and 89% fewer emissions than traditional feedlot beef. Made with soy and potato protein, coconut and sunflower oil, and flavored with something called heme, an umamiflavored byproduct of fermented yeast, Impossible meats are something you can feel good about eating. And you don’t have to be a fast food lover to ride this meaty new wave. If you want to BBQ at home, Impossible Meats sells their food under the Beyond Meat label, which includes burgers, sausages, ground “beef” and even chicken strips, all available at local grocery stores. If you’re eating out, there are a few local spots
FOOD
offering Impossible meats, including the Chili Line Brewing Company, Plaza Café Southside, Rowley Farmhouse Ales and Bumble Bee’s Baja Grill. By the way, Root 66 food truck, which was sort of the undisputed champion of the kick-ass Impossible burger, is out of service while looking for a new chef. I checked in with them, however, and have been told they’re planning to be back on the road in July. Phew! Chili Line Brewing Company’s (204 N Guadalupe St., 982-8474) Impossible burger ($13) comes in as one of my favorites, topped with a generous dollop of fresh-made burrata and green chile. I ordered mine medium-well and was a little shocked when it came out looking like actual ground meat—and
really pink in the middle. Having not eaten a beef burger since I was a little kid, I wasn’t quite expecting that level of reality. Chili Line also has a vegan Impossible pizza, made with vegan cheese, Impossible burger meat, onions, olives, bell peppers, and mushrooms ($12 for a 10-inch). Plaza Café Southside’s (3466 Zafarano Drive, 424-0755) Impossible burger ($14.95) is served up like their regular burger, with lettuce, tomato and onion. It’s a nice option for those who like to keep their burgers simple. For those who like to load it on, additional fixin’s, such as guacamole, cheese, grilled mushrooms or green chile ($1.25 each), are available. The Impossible burger can stand up to some weight. It doesn’t fall apart, as is frequently the case with patties made of nuts or beans, so you won’t end up with a hand full of bun over a plate full of everything that fell out of it. Rowley Farmhouse Ales’ (1405 Maclovia St., 428-0719) Impossible offering ($14) is served up more gastropub-style with Old Windmill cheddar and caramelized onion jam. Though the burger I had seemed over overcooked, a bit on the dry side, the rich, caramelized onion jam made up for it. Add to that the sharpness of the cheddar and this burger is a dream for those who like it rich and savory. No longer talking burgers, but still in the realm of the Impossible, Bumble Bee’s Baja Grill (301 Jefferson St., 820-2862) also offers a Beyond Meat vegan chicken option for its salads, tacos and burritos (and in a hearty vegan tortilla stew available in fall and winter), making good even better; not just for us, but for Vegan “chicken” is available for the tacos at our planet too.

Recovering English majors will find a lot to love with All Is True, a surprisingly fun and imaginative family drama chronicling the later days of William Shakespeare. Kenneth Branagh directs and plays the lead, which is as it should be—after a lifetime of transposing Shakespeare’s work for modern audiences, Branagh has earned the right to finally portray the Bard himself. The story opens as the Globe Theater burns down in 1613, essentially ending Shakespeare’s professional life. Retiring to his home in Straford-Upon-Avon, the playwright finds simmering family drama. Several dramas, actually: His daughters are mired in small-town scandals and his wife Anne (Judi Dench … Dame Judi Dench) has been harboring nuclear-grade resentments. The film thereafter contains numerous surprises. For one thing, it’s funny. The dialogue, meanwhile, is crisp and clever; the jokes sly, which makes one realize what thin gruel we typically get in comedic writing these days. Also watch for innovative lighting techniques with candles, a puzzle cinematographers have been

trying to crack for 100 years; someone apparently figured it out (see also The Favourite). The family intrigue clicks up another notch when Ian McKellen (Sir Ian McKellen) appears, inevitably somehow, as a significant figure from Shakespeare’s past. McKellen and Branagh share a scene of mischief and warmth as the two old rogues delight in reciting Shakespeare’s most famous sonnet. The theater veterans are working on about 17 different levels in this scene and, for some, it’s bound to be a thrill ride. In fact, all of the dialogue is multivalent, carrying meaning along different vectors as the story unfolds. The script by Ben Elton (of The
Young Ones fame!) is, in and of itself, a testament to dense Shakespearean storytelling, though the third act gets awfully speedy and finally spins itself to death as it jams in dubious mystery and progressive revisionism. There’s even a ghost story in this thing. But by the end, we’re pleasantly dizzy from the sustained charm offensive and All is True winds up a generous piece of work from a crack squad of British storytelling veterans. ALL IS TRUE Directed by Branagh With Branagh, McKellen and Dench Center for Contemporary Arts, PG-13, 101 min.

+ INCREDIBLE BATTLES; NOSTALGIA - CHEESY; FAR TOO MANY HINTS OF THE NEXT FLICK’S PLOT
Make way for your favorite movie monster and pals to emerge once again with Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and good grief these guys are a menace! The days of actors in rubber suits trampling over cardboard sets—or even that bad CGI iguana in NYC circa ’99—are all thankfully relics of the past. A sequel to 2014’s Godzilla, the newest entry takes lessons from its predecessor’s lack of monster action, now packing so much in, you’ll worry a bathroom break will rob you of whatever’s on the horizon. Many of the film’s principal actors are recipients of film and television’s highest accolades; Emmys and Golden Globes and such, and their presence is mostly enough to carry weak dialogue or scenes of paper-thin exposition. Vera Farmiga (The Departed) and Kyle Chandler (Peter Jackson’s King Kong) are former spouses grieving the loss of their first child. But they’re also scientists, dammit, both with differing opinions of the creatures (or “Titans,” as the film calls them), and they take action accordingly.

have a relatable figure—is caught in the middle of the tug-of-war. Bradley Whitford, Sally Hawkins, Charles Dance, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Aisha Hinds and the great Ken Watanabe fill out the rest of the ensemble cast, and though their talents are certainly underused, it’s good to see them in something so silly that almost anything can be forgiven. Besides, one doesn’t go to a Kaiju movie for the narrative structure or in search of moving performances, but for the spectacle—and we certainly find the spectacular here. With monsters front and center, the visual splendor is quite satisfying. Godzilla and Mothra glow in cool notes of neon blues and greens, while others like King Ghidorah, the three-headed one, accompany violent electric storms saturated in rich yellows and oranges. We see clear shots of the famous monsters battling with coherent editing and no awkward shaky cam close-ups; when the Titans clash, the sound assaults your senses, rupturing eardrums. Even the soundtrack adds to the successful mixing of the effects, accentuating the artificial carnage. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of stereotypical lens flare to distract from the amusingly fake sets. If nothing else, your inner child will love all of it. Although the fanboy cheese is present in every frame, it only tries your patience occaCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

+ LOVE OLYPHANT AND MCSHANE - MISSING THE EXPECTED HISTORY AND DRAMA
Ten years after three seasons of David Milch’s HBO series Deadwood left everyone wanting more, its creators try to hang on to those gold flakes with a movie-length sequel. What viewers find in this reprise set on the eve of South Dakota’s statehood is a rather unremarkable swirl through the pan. Sure, it’s at first charming to see the wrinkled skin around Sheriff Bullock’s brooding eyes from a steady Timothy Olyphant (now actually in love with an underused Anna Gunn), a hoary-headed version of Brad Dourif as Doc Cochran and an extremely pregnant Trixie (Paula Malcomson). The overriding emotion, though, is that this old home week of sorts suffers from trying to pack too much into a two-hour stint. Each storyline need not get a predictable tidy conclusion, yet it seems this is the goal of the venture. The flowery, full language of the series is reflected in this version, but we miss the long soliloquies from Al Swearengen, as Ian McShane’s character is sickly and stunted in

this plotline. Appearances from Wu (Keone Young) and Dan Dority (W Earl Brown) are disappointing, as is the reliance on a few too many flashbacks. On the whole, there’s little suspense, no surprise and absolutely nothing new. Gone, too, are the tensions of lawlessness vs. community mores and the integral nods to historical social conditions and milestones. It just feels like a shallow tale that relies on how much we loved these people and their bruises a decade ago. Milch hinges this story on the return of George Hearst as the villain du jour. That Hearst had a role in the Black Hills mining boom is true, yet his outsized power here is out of place for a guy who was by then not actually a US senator, but a California state lawmaker who’d be dead in two years. We won’t spoil just how Deadwood the Movie leaves him. Let’s just say the plot isn’t the only thing we wish was in the grave. (Julie Ann Grimm)
to each other. Things are great and all, but the Breyers can’t seem to have a kid. Enter mysterious spaceship carrying weirdly humanoid baby. We cut 10 years, and they’ve raised the kid as their own, but something starts to awaken in young Brandon (Jackson A Dunn, previously from bit parts in film and television) as he turns 12 (though no one says how we’re supposed to know his age), and it’s not something good. Brightburn tries to convince us it’s Banks’ film, and to an extent, she’s great as a mother struggling to accept what her kid might be capable of doing. Dunn’s dead-eyed evil, however, does the most heavy lifting. Denman, while probably important to the narrative or something, feels pretty pointless for the most part because, like most everyone else in this movie, he’s basically a foil for Brandon’s evolution. This evolution is particularly irksome, however, because we almost empathize with the tween angst. How might we have done things differently when we were hormone-riddled middle-schoolers if we’d had alien powers? Maybe not with evil, but surely things might have been different. Brandon, meanwhile, goes the straight-up horror route, toying with his prey and unleashing gruesome vengeance wherever he sees fit. Thus, Brightburn proves an interesting foray into mostly uncharted waters. Oh sure, 2012’s Chronicle asked us to envision what everyday people with newfound powers going rogue might look like, but the Gunn brothers’ take

Still, at its core, Brightburn screams its desire to birth a franchise, leaving us with half a movie worth enjoying and half that seems like a money grab. Will you enjoy Brightburn? Probably, but the potential sequel—and it’s coming, believe me— prematurely robs the first entry from being anything particularly special outside of its admittedly neat premise. (Alex De Vore)

THAN EXPECTED
- RUSHED ENDING
On the surface, Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut Booksmart exists someplace between Harold & Kumar, Dazed and Confused and comedian Bo Burnham’s stellar Eighth Grade. But on a deeper level, it examines friendships, modern teenaged interpersonal politics and sexuality, and a bevy of other issues with humor, sensitivity and wit. Think of Booksmart like Superbad, only with better leads, a well-done feminist angle and smarter writing. Best friends Molly (Ladybird’s Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever, Last Man Standing) have reached the final day of high school, but the previous four years spent forsaking social lives in the service of good grades and college admissions seem misspent when they learn the apparent slackers of their graduating class are also attending Ivies. Molly hatches a plan: one wild night to prove they could have done both before they leave high school forever having never partied. A seemingly Sisyphean journey follows, from the ill-attended yacht party thrown by that one dweeb no one likes (a surprisingly poignant Skyler Gisondo of 2015’s Vacation) to the drama kids’ absurd murder mystery gathering; from the principal’s weekend Lyft driver status to the mysteriously disappearing and reappearing weirdo (a gloriously melodramatic Billie Lourd). No matter the stakes, though, Molly and Amy remain steadfast in their mutual support, a wonderful but never overwrought premise that eschews the tired cinematic pitfall of competitive women while leaving room for drama and growth. Said growth is admittedly minimal, and there’s an accelerated rate at which conflict is resolved, but these characters learn and evolve readily rather than simply progress by circumstance; the redemptions may be small or feel inconsequential but, for teens, they’re downright monumental.

We’re officially on Team Beanie Feldstein after Booksmart wound up being funnier and smarter than it has any right to be. Booksmart is hilarious when it wants to be and clever when it needs, striking a balance between the understanding that high school was somehow the worst time of our lives, but we miss it for its simplicity. Add points for Feldstein and Dever’s effortless chemistry— the film is at its best when it’s simply them riffing—and for queer representation alongside a few worthwhile bit performances from Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte, Lisa Kudrow and Jessica Williams. Add a few more for Dan the Automator’s hype-ass soundtrack. Subtract a few for a shoddy resolution which plays out too quickly, but then relax a little because it’s ultimately a ridiculous high school comedy that still winds up being clever and, in many ways, a step in the right direction.

+ THE CARLTON DANCE, THAT’S IT - ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ELSE
Despite the weather, summer can certainly be felt in the cinemas with Disney’s newest live adaptation of one of its own animated features, Aladdin. Whatever joy you think you’ll find, however, you are mistaken—this is possibly the worst film of the year. Mena Massoud (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) plays titular hero Aladdin, carrying with him as much charm as the high school jock thrown in the spring musical for unknown reasons. Massoud’s delivery is consistently flat, forced and uninspired. Naomi Scott (Power Rangers) as the headstrong Princess Jasmine brings more effort and panache than Massoud, yet we are still left with a yearning for more. Arguably the worst performance, however, belongs to Marwan Kenzari (Ben Hur; not the old one) as the insufferable counselor and villain, Jafar, and is he ever insufferable. Kenzari’s performance comes off as less threatening than an opened top of canned cat food, less devious than a child with desires for world domination (not counting Brightburn). And then, of course, Will Smith arrives as The Genie, one of the most memorable characters in Disney history thanks to Mister Robin Williams. You’ll certainly laugh and cry while Smith performs; the laughter from embarrassment and the tears from yearning for his predecessor. It’s hard to imagine director Guy Ritchie had promise in the Disney vein given his pedigree of blue-collar hooligan movies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, anyway, but it’s almost as if the Disney execs demanded the director repeat his last disaster (King Arthur, if you’re curious) only with a bigger budget and more beloved characters to destroy. There
is approximately a half hour of new scenes not in the animated original, and the tedium Ritchie builds up within them is enough to make anyone fidget. In fact, hardly any highlights can be mentioned whatsoever: The sets look as if they were assembled over a weekend, the costumes are unconvincing, the lighting is beyond flat. Even worse, the musical numbers are mindnumbing and lacking any joy in choreography as voices are excessively lathered with autotune; at least Alfonso Ribeiro’s famous Carlton dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air can be seen in a dance sequence. The special effects might be the worst, though, especially when it comes to the animals. Abu the monkey, Iago the parrot and Raja the tiger are all featured, but reduced to reactionary set pieces, devoid of any personality. Who would’ve thought Gilbert Gottfried’s voice would be missed? Oh, and one last word of advice—if you’re a parent, lay ground rules for bathroom and possible bar breaks with whichever adult accompanies you. You’ll need, and deserve, personal rewards for your endurance. (MKG)

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I don’t think we were ever meant to hear the same song sung exactly the same way more than once in a lifetime,” says poet Linh Dinh. That’s an extreme statement that I can’t agree with. But I understand what he’s driving at. Repeating yourself can be debilitating, even deadening. That includes trying to draw inspiration from the same old sources that have worked for you in the past. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you try to minimize exact repetition in the next two weeks: both in what you express and what you absorb. For further motivation, here’s William S. Burroughs: “Truth may appear only once; it may not be repeatable.”
tongue makes you smarter and more empathetic. It expands your capacity to express yourself vividly and gives you access to many interesting people who think differently from you. I mention this, Libra, because you’re in a phase of your cycle when learning a new language might be easier than usual, as is improving your mastery of a second or third language. If none of that’s feasible for you, I urge you to at least formulate an intention to speak your main language with greater candor and precision—and find other ways to expand your ability to express yourself.
