N

ew Mexico has become a “backwater” on the issue of medical cannabis.

That’s what Sen. Cisco McSorley told a Health Department regulator at last Tuesday’s meeting of the Legislative Health and Human Services Committee (of which McSorley is a member).

“Now medical cannabis is so well-accepted, it’s like mom and apple pie,” McSorley, an Albuquerque Democrat, told medical cannabis program director Kenny Vigil at the hearing, as he chastised the department for its slow pace and lack of transparency. “Most politicians would die to get that kind of acceptance that medical cannabis gets, it’s so passe, almost. And yet here we are, 10 years later, trying to make this system work.”

Over the weekend, the Health Department made another executive decision that was out of step with trends elsewhere. Less than a day before the Santa Fe-based dispensary Sacred Garden was set to serve a five-course meal for up to 20 patients, the health department pulled the plug on the event.

Cannabis-infused communal dinners are, to borrow McSorley’s phrase, almost passe in other parts of the country, including Portland, Denver and Los Angeles. In these places, dinner party rituals usually include prominent local chefs and bougie people who consume cannabis like they sample wine or gourmet food. There’s even a whole show on Viceland, Bong Appétit, dedicated to infusing professional-quality recipes with weed.

The dinner hosted by Sacred Garden would have been less flashy than its counterparts in bigger cities. For starters, you needed to be one of around 48,000 people with a New Mexico medical cannabis card to attend. You also had to pay $100. And because it was the first event of its kind in New Mexico, Sacred Garden dispensary owner Zeke Shortes says he ran the idea by his attorney, who didn’t think it broke any rules.

“I really want to highlight cannabis in relation or complementary to food, and how you could incorporate it into your meals as well. It’s not just something you smoke or vaporize or whatnot,” Shortes told SFR almost a month before the dinner was scheduled to happen.

Mary Hanson, the lead chef at Sacred Garden who prepared the entire menu herself, described the upcoming dinner as “a little nice thing to do for not only our customers but any other person [who] might have a card.”

Munchies Misfire Health Department ruins a Santa Fe dispensary’s cannabis cuisine party at the last minute

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

That salmon roll and mango chutney will get you high as hell.

The menu featured an appetizer of smoked salmon and goat cheese along with a mushroom-stuffed pastry and other tasty spreads; a choice of a chicken or beef main entree with creamy potatoes au gratin, greens and a sliced pear salad; and a choice of Irish cream creme brulee or chocolate pot de creme for dessert.

“New Mexican Hot Chocolate with CBD infusion” would have capped the night.

The whole meal would have been loaded with about 50 milligrams of THC infused into oils, butters and dressings, which is enough to send most casual smokers floating away. But even weeks before the dinner, Shortes sensed that the health department was about to find some way to spoil it. He was right.

In an emailed letter to Shortes dated Oct. 20— the day before the event was scheduled to happen at Body of Santa Fe, a health and wellness center—health department license and compliance manager Martinik Gonzales warned that Body of Santa Fe wasn’t licensed to distribute cannabis, and that it was “unclear … where the preparation of the food for the advertised dinner would occur, and whether Sacred Garden is in compliance with manufacturing requirements.”

Facing possible disciplinary action, Shortes cancelled the event. He’s now requesting a meeting with program director Kenny Vigil, who did not respond to SFR’s request for comment.

“They don’t want to deal with anything new or innovative. They want everything to be real cookie-cutter so no one will beat them up over it potentially,” Shortes complained on Monday.

SFR received a call Friday afternoon from Sacred Garden manager Randy Torres to notify us the event had been cancelled. Torres then called us back a few hours later to let us know of a loophole: The nonprofit could still serve the dinners if people came to pick them up.

In the end, Shortes says only seven people picked up the meals, including this cardholding reporter.

The three-pronged appetizer followed by baked chicken Kiev and a large helping of creamy potatoes was extremely filling, and we saved the THC-infused dinner roll and cannabutter and creme brulee for the next day.

It was delicious and dank. But it was also lonely.

“I took one home just to make sure we’re where we want to be with it, and had an amazing meal,” Shortes said. “But I was sitting by myself.”

A LA NIÑA WINTER SOURCE: NOAA

Mercurial Mistress La Niña readies herself for a warmer winter, but will she rob us of snowpack, too?

B Y M AT T G R U B S m a t t g r u b s @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m @mattgrubs

A

t the National Weather Service, meteorologist Kerry Jones likes to say that climate trains the boxer, but weather throws the punches. It’s important to pay attention to trends, but the moment you think you have a climate pattern pegged, there’s a decent chance Mother Nature is about to land a nasty hook to your jaw.

So it goes with La Niña. As New Mexico readies itself for what appears to be a weak La Niña weather pattern for December, January and February, Jones tells SFR there are some things that are more likely than others.

Warmth, for example.

“That’s been the trend for the past two or three decades,” he says from his Albuquerque office. “These are not short-term fluctuations.”

The last three weak La Niñas have been warmer for the winter months. And before that, in 2000-2001, it was just barely cooler than average. The last really chilly weak La Niña was during Ronald Reagan’s first term.

Weather watchers feel more comfortable with that prediction, though there’s no guarantee of a balmy winter. In the

February 2011 weak La Niña, a record cold snap in the state shattered pipes and locked up natural gas lines, in some cases for days.

But again, Jones and his colleagues get paid to notice trends. While most people remember the month as almost unbearably cold, Jones recalls the near-record highs a couple weeks later. It was so warm, in fact, that the month as a whole was just a shade cooler than average.

When it comes to precipitation, it’s really anyone’s guess.

In years past, a weak to moderate La Niña pattern has meant drier years for Santa Fe—and New Mexico in general— but it’s also produced some above-average winters. La Niña isn’t a drought, and a below-average outlook doesn’t mean no winter.

“We don’t want that to be translated to ‘Oh my gosh, we’re not going to have winter storms,’” Jones cautions. “That’s not what that says.”

The National Weather Service targets the traditional winter months with its seasonal outlooks, but New Mexico often gets some of its biggest storms in March. And this La Niña pattern has already shown signs of mitigating, which means it could be disappearing just as the late-winter storms start to brew.

Again, there are no guarantees, but all of this gets more certain the further south

you go in New Mexico.

Jones says the southern half of the state can more easily count on La Niña being warmer and drier than the average New Mexican winter.

Even in a winter that might be subpar overall, a couple of good storms early can make a huge difference to the ski industry.

“There’s no question that the numbers decrease when we don’t have natural snow,” says Ski New Mexico’s George Brooks. In the relatively good winter of 2015-16, when storms came early and often, the state boasted nearly 1 million skier visits as snow and news coverage accumulated. Last winter, generally regarded as something of a dud, storms and news stories dried up and the industry saw 250,000 fewer skier visits.

He’s constantly getting asked what kind of snow we’ll have this winter. As a guy who has seen La Niña giveth snow and taketh it away, he’s not into predicting what she’ll do this time.

“It’s easier for me to say that I’ve given up on it,” he chuckles. “But my job is to

change perception. And that perception is that if we don’t have snow or it’s light or we haven’t had some in a few weeks, that it’s not going to be good skiing.”

Most ski areas in the state have been investing in snowmaking equipment for years. While we might have a warmer winter or a drier one, Brooks says New Mexico’s ski areas are often high enough to ensure that there will be good weather for man-made snow. The slopes skied and ridden by the majority of skiers and boarders have at least some man-made snow on them.

Almost anyone can get tuckered before the day is out if they go hard enough, too. Which means they can enjoy what Brooks says is a growing trend in the ski industry: Many resorts are focusing on customer experience and working to make a trip to the mountain enjoyable whether skiers and boarders are on the snow or off it, enjoying a nice aprés-ski beverage.

Makes it a little easier to take that weather punch.

DIY AND DELIVERY GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS

BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

s the new edition of SFR’s annual Restaurant Guide hits the streets this week, we’re celebrating the best of Santa Fe’s fine-dining culture, along with highlighting many of our city’s fine feasts that come without the frills. But, as we know, too much time in restaurants can have a detrimental effect—not just on the household bottom line, but on health and happiness too.

So, this goes out to you, home cooks and those who aspire to be them.

We put our newsroom team on the case with a project aimed at bridging the gap between their actual cooking habits and the ones they’d like to have. For help, we turned to two pre-packaged, DIY meal-delivery services. After our cooks completed the meals with detailed instructions and ingredients selected by the service, we sent them out to try the whole thing again on their own.

They reported some miscalculations in cooking time, a handful of poor choices for replacement ingredients, too much and not enough seasoning, one smoke alarm and one questionable fish—but on the whole, they’re unscathed. Maybe even a little inspired.

MEET THE CHEFS

IT CAME IN THE MAIL Ten minutes in front of the computer and it was all set in motion.

While the number of shipped meal-delivery services seems to be growing faster than we can keep up with, we chose two that seem popular and affordable.

The package from Hello Fresh was on deck first. We considered leaving it on the newspaper’s back stoop in the bright sun to test the longevity of its ice packs and insulation, but ultimately got impatient and sorta creeped out by the idea of purposefully letting our meat

get tainted. We reached for the box cutter. Ingredients to prepare each of three meals come in their own separate bags and inside the bags are tiny packages—a half ounce of honey, two tablespoons of ketchup.

Meats are in a segregated compartment below. They felt just as cold to the touch as if they were coming out of the fridge at home.

Blue Apron’s differentiating factor is that it performs more like the way you shop. If you have two meals with garlic, you get a head of it rather than two packages of

HELLO FRESH

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?!

peeled cloves. Its package was comparably priced, and both have special first-time deals. (For three meals, Hello Fresh was $44.94 after a $15 discount, and Blue Apron charged $24.94 after its $30-off promo.) Both services provided each recipe on two-sided cardstock, including photos, and each make wine recommendations. They also both have apps if you need to incorporate technology into your dinner prep. Our cooks found the Hello Fresh app with its built-in timer to be particularly handy.

BLUE APRON

In the interest of keeping things balanced, two male and two female cooks took up our challenge. In many ways, their levels of interest in cooking match with national trends. On average, about 58 percent of Americans spent an hour on food preparation and cleanup each day, according to surveys conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But when those numbers are divided by gender, women are still doing much of the cooking at home, with about 69 percent of women reporting time spent cooking and cleaning up after it, compared to about 45 percent of men.

Brianna is the only of our four home cooks who has worked in a professional kitchen, and she’s also the only one in our newsroom who’s cooking for a kid every night of the week as well. As our web guru, she delighted in researching the delivery services and was the mastermind of the structure of our experiment.

Anson stays up late making art and likes to keep the kitchen part of his life super simple. His favorite anytime meal is breakfast burritos, and he eats out about six times per week.

Sue’s brownies have helped us get through deadline day more than once. Her freezer is stocked with game meat, and she and her husband Mark eat dinner together at home most nights.

Matt is pretty close to being a full-time vegetarian. He occasionally indulges in a good piece of fish and isn’t opposed to something smothered with cheese from time to time. He’s interested in upping his kitchen game, and has tried other mealprep services before.

HONEY-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

SWEET AND SPICY BEEF

Hello Fresh

Blue Apron

TASKS: Roast sweet potatoes and green beans, sear and roast tenderloin, make sauce

TASKS: Make a sauce using other sauces, cook beef and pasta, then vegetables

PRO: The directions were straightforward and the preparation was simple.

PRO: The sauce was really good! I was a bit skeptical of how well they would handle an Asian meal, but the flavors were right on.

CON: There is not much going on in the way of seasoning. The meat and vegetables were only seasoned with salt and pepper, and only the sauce got the thyme.

DIY: The process is pretty straightforward, so it was easy to replicate. However, the lack of ingredient measurements meant that my sauce came out way too salty from the boullion. I cooked a full tenderloin, which took longer to roast, but was much juicier. Plus I seasoned the whole thing with herbs and garlic, so the meat was flavored much better.

BOTTOM LINE: Most of the value is really in the time saved from meal planning and shopping.

This is one that I could recreate better and much cheaper at home.

JUICY LUCY BURGER WITH TOMATO ONION JAM

CON: The meat was all mushed together, and when you tried to separate the pieces, the meat was kinda breaking down into nasty little chunks.

DIY: I’m not sure that you could find a definitive answer on what their “tonkatsu sauce” really is. I also didn’t find the exact noodles, but I did really like the ones I used. Then, I made a critical error with one of the veggies. Everything else turned out great, but the broccoli rabe was so bitter that it made most of the dish inedible.

BOTTOM LINE: This recipe made a mess in my kitchen.

There were lots of dishes used, the gross meat paper towels, cornstarch was everywhere, and oil splattered all over from frying the meat. I’ll definitely make this again though, and this time I’ll use plain broccoli and mushrooms.

HELLO FRESH

SFR’S

2017

Hello Fresh

TASKS: Heat “jam” in a skillet, make salad dressing in a bowl, stuff burgers with cheese and fry them PRO: The beef tasted quality. It was good, but not as good as it looked in the picture.

CON: It took forever to peel the garlic and make the jam. The taste of the balsamic vinegar overwhelmed the entire dish. There wasn’t really enough meat to form around the cheese.

DIY: I added mushrooms and red chile to the burger sauce and didn’t use the vinegar on the burger, but just on the salad. The meat I chose wasn’t as tasty as what came in the mail, which surprised me.

BOTTOM LINE: I would buy a burger from a restaurant to avoid the inconvenience of cooking and the shipping cost and waste of the packaging.

ROASTED CHICKEN

SPICED DIJON SALMON

Blue Apron

Hello Fresh

TASKS: Roast a chicken, make mashed potatoes, cook carrots and compose a sauce

TASKS: Prepare couscous, pan-fry salmon with mystery Turkish spice blend, make a salad and dressing

TASKS: Soft boil an egg, cook polenta, fry vegetables and make a sauce

PRO: The chicken was great. The thyme-lemon sauce with garlic really went well with everything, and the goat cheese in the mashed potatoes was something different that was very tasty.

PRO: It introduced me to foods I usually would not make.

PRO: The polenta was definitely creamy. The crispy sage leaves were a great touch for texture and the mushrooms stayed slightly crisp.

CREAMY POLENTA AND MUSHROOMS Blue Apron

CON: The directions for the cooking time on the potatoes were too short, so I struggled really hard mashing them. I didn’t have a vegetable peeler, so I had to peel the carrots with a knife.

CON: The proportions were how you should eat, not how we eat. We like a lot of protein.

We could not, and did not want to eat all the couscous. And the salmon was a touch past its prime.

DIY: I ended up burning the carrots and then my house got all smoky and the fire alarm went off and I opened the door to vent it and a whole bunch of flies came in and so for the rest of the night I was just murdering flies.

DIY: I was happier to pick out my fish and cook it the same day. Since we did not know what spices were in the secret ingredient packet, we used tried and true Paul Prudhomme Magic Salmon Seasoning.

BOTTOM LINE: It was good quality and everything, but it created a lot of waste and was time-consuming. To me this all just seemed way over-the-top for just a little bit of flavor.

BOTTOM LINE: I was glad to have made and tried a different recipe for salmon, but I like how we usually make it. And I thought that the food was little bland despite the Dijon and the Turkish spice. For a Santa Fean taste, we like our food to sing a little.

THE VERDICT “Doing it made me realize I can add this into my repertoire pretty easily and swap out the veggies—but not that broccoli rabe ever again. It did give me some insight.

I would still look at the recipes even if I don’t want to order the food that week, just to get some ideas. You get stuck in a rut with the same things, and sometimes that will spark the creativity to say, ‘I can do that, I have all those things at home.’ I just wish they had a dishwasher delivery with it.” -Brianna “It’s not practical for me to do that in my lifestyle, though I thought it was. It would be economical if I could get the meals to last, to cook one day and eat it too the next day, but it was just not enough food. I eat more.” Anson “This way of cooking has you looking forward to dinner. Everything is right there for you. No decisions about anything. You know what you’re having and that is kind of zen, especially after a hard day at work.” -Sue “What I liked about this meal was it gave me the confidence to try three things on my own: the polenta, the soft-boiled egg and and the crispy sage. I think that’s one of the big benefits of meal services; even when you’re not cooking out of their box, you learn new techniques and can more easily see how a meal comes together and what different chefs use to balance their plates.” -Matt

CON: I was religious about my soft-boiled egg timing and method. It worked for one egg and not the other. Good egg had a springy white and runny, just-past-over-easy consistency to the yolk. Bad egg was almost impossible to peel, had some sort of air bubble in the white and turned into a mess.

DIY: The only trick was replicating the polenta seasoning packet, because Blue Apron lets you know what’s in there, just not how much. So at that point it becomes a “season-to-taste” scenario. I had the benefit of knowing a little more about how to soft boil an egg. I could also back off on the balsamic vinegar because I knew it was a tad strong last time.

BOTTOM LINE: The meal was healthy and filling and was a good value when prepared on my own. With a little planning, it would be a cinch.

“My kiddo said our version of the recipe was 1000 percent better-tasting.”-Brianna “My house reeks still of all these meals. I’m so sick of it.”-Anson “That was the smallest lemon I ever saw.”-Sue “I was pretty excited about the soft-boiled egg, but it turned out to be tedious.”-Matt

We Support Dreamers

ith faith leaders and communities throughout this country, the United Church of Santa Fe (a United Church of Christ) holds in deep prayer the immigrant youth and young adults affected by the rescinding of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. We pray, too, for their families, friends, employers, and school communities in this time of uncertainty and fear.

Moreover, as people of faith, we the undersigned members and friends of United Church—an Immigrant Welcoming Congregation—call upon governmental leaders to implement just and humane immigration reform. We further urge Congress to support a clean passage of the Dream Act of 2017 (S.1615/H.R.3440) and do everything in their power to protect immigrant youth.

From the patriarch Jacob and his family to the widowed Ruth and Naomi to Jesus of Nazareth, the stories of our faith are stories of immigrants and refugees. We are called to care for the stranger and welcome the foreigner.

We urge our government to do the same.

JULIA GOLDBERG

Darker Ages Will science survive the post-fact era?

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

O

n a recent evening, I wandered in the waning light up North Guadalupe Street when a woman and her dog approached me. She asked for money (I gave her a buck) and proceeded to tell me she had found a cure for cancer. I was in a hurry, didn’t record or write down the exchange, but the upshot of it was that hair conditioner—as I recall, jojoba-based hair conditioner—used topically would cure cancer. I didn’t ask for proof.

What really stuck with me was that her proposition (that hair conditioner cures cancer) didn’t strike me as any more outlandish than half of what passes of late for scientific thinking.

Case in point: New Mexico’s recent attempts to revamp its standards for scientific education to eliminate inclusion of basic facts such as evolution and climate change.

On the bright side of this dark moment, hundreds of citizens turned up on Oct. 16 to protest and urge the state to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards endorsed by educators and scientists.

The public outcry prompted the Public Education Department to announce it would reverse course. The imbroglio prompted plenty of national attention, including a personal favorite line from Grist Magazine (“New Mexico: OK, fine, we’ll put science back in science standards.”)

The final standards have yet to be released. As SFR and others have reported (News, Oct. 17: “Altered State Standards”), it’s unclear what or who prompted the overhaul and, equally troubling, whether the state administrators who tried to change the standards even understand the science behind them. Many, including New Mexico’s Democratic US Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, hypothesize the move was nefarious; in a joint Medium editorial, Udall and Heinrich opine that “providing an ideologically scrubbed curriculum short-changes our children … all in the name of some obscure political agenda.”

Last month, the DC-based Pew Research Center released a report analyzing Americans’ relationship to science news.

The bottom line wasn’t as bottom-of-thebarrel as I expected (numerous reports, including from Pew, have chronicled the public’s sinking trust in the news media and the growing divide between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to supporting the media’s watchdog functions).

In the case of science, the news from Pew reaffirmed that partisan divide, but the overall picture was more mixed. Mistrust isn’t rampant but, as the report notes, “at a time when scientific information is increasingly at the center of public divides, most Americans say they get science news

Acclaimed science writer George Johnson has written about science and health extensively in an office filled with various scientific contraptions.

no more than a couple of times per month, and when they do, most say it is by happenstance rather than intentionally.”

In search of level-headed science information, I invited myself over to George Johnson’s house. Johnson has written about science for The New York Times for 25 years, and has written nine books, including one of my favorites, Fire in the Mind: Science, Faith and the Search for Order.

My opening question to Johnson went something like, “Can you tell me what the hell is wrong with everyone?”

I relayed to him a recent incident in which a friend, noticing my Fitbit, advised I take it off as it was likely to give me cancer. Johnson, whose recent book is The Cancer Chronicles: Unlocking Medicine’s Deepest Mystery, confirmed my Fitbit was not going to give me cancer, noting how common it is that “people will pick up these memes and they get rooted. We have to fight against being selective and reading things that confirm our biases.”

Many people, he suggested, “are convinced that something is wrong with them” and, barring other insights, believe that “something” is being imposed externally.

TECH In discussing science journalism, Johnson—who reports and writes regularly on health—distinguishes between science and health reporting. For science reporting on topics such as climate change, the accumulative and developing story has amassed incontrovertible evidence of human-caused climate change. Often with health reporting, he notes, the stories emerge from studies examining tiny statistics. When “you’re looking at tiny effects,” he says, “it’s impossible to distinguish signal from noise.” These tiny risk factors don’t necessarily come across in the stories, he notes, and people “seize on the story because they think they’ve found an answer for why they feel so bad all the time.”

When it comes to skepticism about topics such as climate change, Johnson pointed out what he describes as a rising tide against objective versus subjective knowledge. In other words, we value what we believe regardless of what information we may encounter that undermines that belief.

Sometimes.

“I think people really are interested in science in the sense that they’ll glom onto some new story about a black hole at the edge of the universe, gravity waves and all of these things. You don’t see gravity wave denialists blaming the elitists for imposing these ideas. You don’t see a lot of dark matter skeptics, because these things aren’t political.”

For Johnson, who remembers himself as a young boy poring over Life Magazine, the trend toward assigning equal value to the subjective versus the objective has discouraging implications. “The assumption [I had] was that by now, science would have vanquished irrational subjective emotional beliefs of all kinds, but of course nothing even close to that has happened. It almost seems, if you’re really pessimistic, you would say we’re going to a new Dark Ages.”

He pauses before adding, “I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

I hope he’s right.

SONIA NAZARIO

WEDNESDAY 29 NOVEMBER AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Valeria Luiselli was born in Mexico City in 1983 and has lived in Africa, Asia, Central America, and Europe. She now lives in New York City. Her works have been widely translated and include the novels Faces in the Crowd and The Story of My Teeth, as well as the essay collection Sidewalks, which begins and ends in a cemetery in Venice.

She wrote Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions after working as a volunteer interpreter for Central American immigrant children detained in the United States. In the book she writes, “Children leave their homes with a coyote. They cross Mexico in the hands of this coyote, riding La Bestia. They try not to fall into the hands of rapists, corrupt policemen, murderous soldiers, and drug gangs who might enslave them in poppy or marijuana fields, if they don’t shoot them in the head and mass-bury them.”

Luiselli was named one of the 20 best Mexican writers under age 40 by Mexico’s Arts and Culture Council and is completing a PhD in comparative literature at Columbia University.

Journalist Sonia Nazario writes extensively on Latin America and is the author of Enrique’s Journey, the story of a Honduran boy’s struggle to find his mother in the United States.

If One Says a Thousand Words…

You oughta be in pictures Since 1994, Santa Fe nonprofit CENTER has been ground zero for talented photographers on the cusp of greatness. This is achieved through numerous events and opportunities throughout the year, but none more prestigious than the Review Santa Fe Photo Festival—a massive juried gathering of 100 photographers who have the chance to exhibit, interact with the public and possibly gain the attention of photo world bigwigs from the likes of The New Yorker, National Geographic, The Huffington Post, the J. Paul Getty Museum and many others.

“It’s our flagship event,” Executive Director Laura Presley tells SFR, “and it creates this really amazing energy around storytelling.” This year, that means shooters from 11 countries (not to mention across the US and a number from New Mexico), workshops, artist talks and the crown jewel portfolio viewing at the Santa Fe Farmers Market Pavilion on Friday, Oct. 27.

“Most of the people who are here for this event are mission-driven photographers, meaning they’re doing work with technical mastery, interesting aesthetics and layered concepts,” Presley says.

“Civil wars, the plight of the refugee, folklore … each year we see the response to what’s happening on a global level,

and that is so exciting.” In addition to events for holders of pricey all-festival tickets, this year also boasts the highest number of public events in Review history. Says Presley, “It’s expanding in that we have more public programs; it’s bigger in terms of the amount of the public coming in—we want this to be for locals as much as possible.”

Added bonus: Former Center for Contemporary Arts curator Angie Rizzo has joined CENTER and curated some of the selections for the Review exhibition. “Since we all have access to the tools, we hope this is inspirational to everyone,” Presley adds, referring to that handy kickass camera sitting in your pocket as we speak. “This is the most democratic medium—photography is for everyone.” (Alex De Vore) REVIEW SANTA FE PHOTO FESTIVAL Editorial Panel: 2:30 pm Thursday Oct. 26. $25-$45.

If You’re Friends With P Mr. P Chill hates Donald Trump

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

W

“

e’ll be out there for about two weeks, but I try to do four to six weeks at least once a year,” Mr. P Chill tells me of his current Life Sentence Tour. The Sacramento-based MC is in Oregon for a couple shows and will soon visit New Mexico for the third time in recent years.

But even these smaller jaunts weren’t the norm just a few years back. “It was actually my wife,” he says. “She’s the one who pushed me to get out and tour again; I had been more involved with my visual art.”

He’s talking spray-can art—he used to do massive pieces on boxcars and buildings— but hip-hop and live performance will always be his first love.

A combination MC, producer and political mouthpiece, Mr. P Chill says he has created hip-hop since he was about 12 or 13. His first release was a cassette single in July of 1992, and to this day he’s got a throwback flow layered over DIY production. Take “Funk 25,” his newest single released in celebration of that last 25 years spent hustling: The beat has a pop hook, but it’s gritty; the vocal cadence feels more late-1980s. It’s sick.

“I became politically aware at a younger age,” he expands, “because a lot of the music I listened to was politically inspired hip-hop like Chuck D or Ice-T, and as I got older, as I started to perform more, I started to feel like I had the platform to really be saying something.”

OCTOB ER 25-31, 2017

•

He grew up in a mostly-white neighborhood in Sacramento, but as a bit of an outcast. Either bullied or ignored by the kids in his neighborhood, P Chill turned to hip hop “for the storytelling and the realness. … Looking back, I was disenfranchised and never accepted, so I think the political hip-hop and rap spoke to me because of the anger.”

This is evident throughout his body of work, but nothing hits quite as hard as “Dear Crooked Cop,” a short yet hard-hitting beef track released earlier this year in response to rising police violence in an already explosive era. “You inflict pain in the name of holding justice,” he raps with a barely subdued rage. “The far right says

Mr. P Chill: A-rip-rap-rippity-doo.

they had it coming. Really? A death sentence for running?”

Of course, P Chill understands this may be difficult for some to swallow, but he’d rather focus on something real than crank out fluff. “It really bothers me when I hear people with no substance in their songs, especially if they’ve achieved mainstream success,” he says. “I guess it’s not up to me to judge them, but I try to use my platform to really be saying something.”

This has become an even more important ethos during the Trump presidency. “Sometimes it really gets me down, but sometimes it gets me really fired up,” P Chill says. “There are days when I’ve wanted to go out and create, but I’ll feel helpless—I keep thinking I’ll wake up.” In his younger days, he’d have been out in the streets protesting, but now, he

says, his music is the message. “I don’t deserve or expect any praise for what I’m doing, I’m just trying to change the world in a positive way,” he says. “Younger P Chill probably would have had something different to say, but as I get older, if I’m gonna keep with that kind of attitude and keep judging my success based on what other people are thinking of the music— no. That’s just gonna break your heart.”

No Signal

A&C

Student-run event lights up the Southside ALICIA INEZ GUZMÁN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

W

hen I walked in, I had the distinct sensation that I was on the set—or even inside—a David Lynch film. Inland Empire came to mind, but after lingering several hours, I still couldn’t place the feeling.

Maybe it was the darkness shot through by intense bursts of color, light, recognizable imagery and abstract patterns that made it all feel just a bit eerie. I was, after all, surrounded on all sides by glowing projections. But even as I looked at an individual work, it was hardly without seeing the light of others flickering on the periphery. This was because with 12 artists’ projections and four performances, almost all available surfaces—the walls, the ceiling, the floor and alcoves throughout the building—were engaged. Spectators dispersed and accumulated, their silhouettes hovering across the walls, as power cords snaked in every direction.

This was NO SIGNAL, one venue in the Bring Your Own Beamer (BYOB) circuit, which began in 2010 in just six cities throughout the world. Since then it has expanded and contracted—there are currently 16 cities hosting BYOB events, with Santa Fe making its debut. Across all the venues, the basic premise of the event has remained true: a free one-night event of video and performance where artists provide their own projectors and media. This

particular instantiation included LED, overhead and slide projectors, with two analog televisions rounding everything out.

I remember very clearly the sound of a knife chopping as onions sauteed on a camping stove in the middle of the warehouse. Two artists, Autumn Chacon and Liz McKenzie, who make up Black Snake Killaz, made stew as part of a sound performance. Each gesture generated a new acoustic. As I later ladled the fruits of their performance-art labor into a bowl, I realized the core ingredient was Spam.

They mentioned the meat product was a necessary commodity at the occupation of Standing Rock.

Elsewhere, the artist Sarah Canelas was near-motionless, lying on her stomach, elbows propping up her chin, while staring blankly at a snowy television screen plugged in near a lounge chair.

The setting could have been grafted from your neighbor’s sitting room, it seemed so familiar. It was uncanny, moreover, to watch others as they watched her; a few became so transfixed they even walked into the screen door that separated the alcove where she lay from the outside. Brenda Castro’s installation in an adjacent space had the visual effect of floating blazes of fire with prismatic flares of red emanating across the walls.

NO SIGNAL was a student-run event that got a lot of social media hype in the weeks leading up to the big day (Friday Oct. 20). Yvette Serrano, a

Is this for real? NO SIGNAL hopes to become an annual event.

senior graphic design student at Santa Fe University of Art and Design, and Treston Chee, a studio arts major with an emphasis in photography and digital arts at the Institute of American Indian Arts, led the charge, organizing the event since the late summer. They did it with the help of Bill Mitchell, a Santa Fe-based experimental cinematographer who helped in finding the location—an expansive warehouse space off Rufina Street.

Serrano first became aware of BYOB when living in Denver and thought hosting it for the first time in Santa Fe would be feasible. “I was drawn to this idea that anyone could host this type of event. …

I wanted to allow anyone to show their work. Most events are curated, but we

didn’t want to do that. It was nice to see students show their work along with teachers.”

In Chee’s estimation, “Bringing a show like NO SIGNAL to the Southside of Santa Fe gives opportunity to potential young artists.” Both organizers have a vision for continuing the event in the future, possibly as an annual event.

Admittedly, some of the participants were current and former students from classes I’ve taught at SFUAD and I was downright excited to see them working outside of a university setting. The result was impressive—fresh, even. It wasn’t self-avowedly anti-institutional, though I felt they could probably make that claim and I would buy it.

In a frank exchange early in our courtship, I told my girlfriend that I have no kinks. As a faithful reader of Savage Love, I’m obviously not opposed to kinks—but I’ve never had any inclinations in that direction and am probably a typical hetero vanilla. As a result, I’m damn near clueless in that area. Last night, my girlfriend placed my hands around her neck and asked me to choke her. My instant reaction was to say no, not out of any objection in principle but because I thought it might be dangerous in my inexperienced hands. Later I did comply, but I was definitely holding back. I dearly love my main squeeze—clever pun there, huh?—and I want to be GGG, but… well, you see my misgivings.

I know about safe words, but can we count on them when the recipient’s larynx is being compromised and she may be close to passing out?

For the record, I had no difficulty in acceding to her request to be bitten, as I know where and how hard I can do that without causing damage, but choking is an area of darkness for me. And let me note that my girlfriend has no grounding in medicine, physiology, or anything that would lead me to be comfortable trusting her judgment about choking.

-Choke Holds Obligate Kink Education I have friends who are professional Dominants—women who will stick needles through the head of their client’s cock and post the bloody pics to Twitter—who refuse to do breath play and/or choking scenes.

“It’s impossible to control for all the variables,” said Mistress Matisse, a professional dominatrix with more than 20 years of experience. “People think choking isn’t kinky, but it is.

People think it’s a low-risk activity, but it’s not.

Choking isn’t just about the lungs. It can affect the brain and the heart—it can affect the whole body—and if the bottom has underlying health issues, things can go disastrously wrong. I feel strongly about this.”

Wrapping something around someone’s neck—your hands, a belt, a rope—is the most dangerous form of breath control/play, Matisse emphasized, and simply cannot be done safely. Fragile bones (like the hyoid bone), nerves, arteries, veins—the neck is a crowded place, it’s vulnerable, and putting sustained pressure on someone’s neck is extremely risky.

Matisse also noted: “The person doing the choking needs to be aware that they’re on the hook legally—for at least manslaughter charges—if the person who asked to be choked should die. People have gone to jail for this kind of ‘play.’”

Jay Wiseman, author of SM 101, not only takes a similarly dim view of choking, CHOKE, he’s served as an expert witness at the trials of people who choked someone to death during sex.

“It’s always inherently life-threatening, and it’s always inherently unpredictable,” said Wiseman. “It’s more dangerous than suffocation, as you can get into deeper trouble more quickly.

People have died from a few seconds of being choked. There simply are no landmarks—meaning, you can’t say to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that if you ‘only’ choke someone for 30 seconds, they’ll be okay. People have died after being choked for less than 30 seconds.”

I’m tempted to leave it there, CHOKE, because I worry that anything else I might say— anything remotely equivocal—could result in one idiot choking another to death. But the fact of the matter is that choking, despite the risks, is a relatively common kink, and almost all deaths related to breath play occur during solo scenes, not partnered scenes. So I’m going to give you a little advice about meeting your girlfriend’s particular needs safely, i.e., without wrapping your hands around her neck.

So your partner wants to be choked?

“What most people who are into choking want is to feel controlled,” said Matisse. “So put your hand over her mouth. Grab her hair, wrap an arm around her shoulder—not her neck— and put your other hand over her mouth. That should satisfy the urge.”

Another option, CHOKE, is a gas mask. If it’s not too disturbing a look—if it’s not a boner-killer—you can put a gas mask on someone, cover the breathing hole with the flat of your hand, and cut off your partner’s air. All they have to do when they need a breath is shake their head, which will break the seal created by your palm and allow them to breathe.

And finally, CHOKE, you could—if you really like this woman—take a stage combat class or book a session with a fight choreographer.

There are safe choke holds used on stage, where the person being choked is in control and no actual pressure is placed on the neck.

My boyfriend of four months is great, we’re in love, and the sex is amazing. Now for the but: A strange man takes my boyfriend out once or twice a year for a fancy lunch and gives him a lot of expensive new underwear. At these lunch “dates,” my boyfriend returns the underwear the man gave him last time, now used and worn. It seems obvious to me that Underpants Pervert, as I’ve dubbed him, is masturbating with these old pairs of underwear. This has been going on for SEVEN YEARS, and it makes me so uncomfortable that I asked my boyfriend to stop. He agreed, but he went back on the agreement the next time Underpants Pervert snapped his fingers. My boyfriend says he likes this guy, doesn’t feel objectified in a bad way, enjoys their lunches, and thinks of him as an old friend. When I see my boyfriend in his underwear, all I can think is, “That pervert is going to be masturbating into those soon,” when I should be thinking, “My boyfriend is so sexy.”

You’ll probably take Underpants Pervert’s side—since you’re pro-kink and an older gay man yourself—and tell me to get over it. But what if I can’t?

-Having Issues Stopping Boyfriend’s Underpants Man P.S. My boyfriend is 28 and straight. I’m a 25-year-old cis bi woman.

Get over it.

P.S. And if you can’t get over it? Well, I guess you could issue an ultimatum, HISBUM: “It’s me or Underpants Pervert.” You would essentially be asking your boyfriend to end a successful long-term relationship (seven years)—a relationship of a different sort, yes, but a relationship nonetheless—in favor of a short-term relationship (four months). You’ve already asked your boyfriend to stop seeing this man, and he chose the perverted fag over the controlling girlfriend. If you can’t get over it and you decide to issue that ultimatum, HISBUM, don’t be surprised if he chooses the pervert over you a second time.

Just wondering why I can’t find any coverage in your many years of letters concerning the effects of public lice on sexual health and relationships.

-Asking For A Friend No one has ever asked me about pubic lice, AFAF. Some people believe pubic lice have been driven to extinction—at least in the West—by the shaving-your-pubes trend, which is now in its second or third decade and shows no sign of abating. But that theory, which I once believed myself (and could explain why no one asks me about it), has been thoroughly debunked. So I can’t tell you why public lice haven’t come up in the column. It’s a mystery.

with Greg Gallegos

COURTESY GREG GALLEGOS

Images coming out of the Northern California hellfires that have killed 42 people and destroyed thousands of homes look like the apocalypse climate scientists have warned about for years. Thousands of firefighters and other first responders battle the flames even now, including six Santa Fe firefighters from the Santa Fe Fire Department’s Wildland Division. Greg Gallegos, the wildland fire superintendent for Santa Fe, told us about some of the challenges they’ll face until they arrive back home Nov. 7—at the earliest. (Aaron Cantú)

Noche de Muertos

What’s the size of the effort in Northern California?

There’s the coordination of 8,000 firefighters from all different agencies, evacuation of 40,000-plus people on a statewide scale; that in itself is monumental. You may only have the opportunity to put folks on part of the fire, and the rest of the fire, you kinda have to let go. That’s where the difficulty comes in—making the decision of where to put folks.

Why did the Santa Fe Fire Department send help?

They were calling for resources, and at the time we had folks that were available. And when the calls go out like that, we like to help out as much as we can—without depleting resources of the city, of course. This is kind of our off-season, and they need the help. And the other thing, too, is it helps bolster our division with regards to training and experience, and it brings money back into the department division.

How will your firefighters measure their success?

If the line holds, that’s great. That’s a measure of success. If you save a house, that’s a measure of success.

Each and every day you just take one day at a time.

It’s a long haul, it’s tough work, it’s exhausting, but the measure of success is just concentrating on what you got to do in that particular moment and making sure you keep safe, keep your [people] safe, and doing your job and do it well.

Be Somebody (Else) Wear a planet-friendly costume this halloween STO RY BY M A R I A EG O L F - RO M E RO I L L U S T R AT I O N S B Y T H E A M I L I N A I R É

D

ressing is part of identity. Your choice of blouse or boot says something about who you are.

Although we may not realize we’re doing it, each of us wears a costume every day. Some say “working professional,” others “fashionista,” and they become a part of your persona, as much as your speech pattern or the way you walk.

On Halloween, culture flips the coin and we don costumes to become other beings.

Unfortunately, however, they’re most often from big-box stores like Target or Party City, and that means they’re usually poorly made with synthetic fibers like polyester. It’s estimated to take between 20 and 200 years for polyester to decompose, so that Britney Spears outfit you wore circa 2000? It’s still polluting the trash heap it landed in after one night’s wear.

Congratulations.

Thankfully, there’s another way to costume in Santa Fe: Costumes!

Limited (1807 Second St., Ste. 100, 988-9501). The predominantly rental shop occupies a small, one-story adobe nestled in the lofts off Second Street ( just past the Back Road Pizza lot), where it’s been for 14 years. Owner Anne De May says people are more stoked than ever for the annual ghoulish celebration. “This year, what stood out to me is that Halloween started earlier than usual,” she says. “The first of October, people started coming in looking for costumes. I think there’s an urge to party.”

De May’s shop is packed with costume inspiration. Masks, props and garments from countless periods and styles pour from every corner; the collection she’s amassed fills the building to the brim and you won’t find even one thin polyester package costume. “We’re not the mainstream costume environment,” De May says.

“We don’t do licensed products; we’re more individualized.” And since the bulk of the shop is rental, your costume won’t end up in the trash come Nov. 1.

Want to be an astronaut? Head to the space section. A dapper dude? Search the racks (and racks) of suits and tuxedos. The shop also features rich silk skirts, billowy princess blouses, delicate avian masks and furry mammalian faces; an array of wings, an entire room of shoes, helmets, pirate tops, loincloths, eye patches, bear onesies and more. Costumes!

Limited also has accessories for sale, like theatrical makeup, spectacles, wigs and hats.

De May’s eye for detail and texture comes from her time studying textiles and fashion, with a focus on costumes, at the University of Hamburg, Germany. “We can make people happy, we can make people be different,” she says. “We can make people just not have to be themselves.”

Costumes! Limited is not only the greenest way to have the most individual (and raddest) costume, but a wonderful jumping-off point if you’re hard-pressed for ideas.

De May uses her skills to create varying levels of custom outfits. You can choose one item from the extensive selection and the staff can help you build a character from there.

“It’s very rewarding, even those that come with no ideas [and] when we get to it and they get in the right costumes, they just light up,” she tells SFR. “It’s really great to see someone get into character.”

And if you’re worried about price points at a customized joint, De May is one step ahead of you. “We priced out a pirate with all the accessories through a big-box vendor, and it’s more than renting one,” she says. Basic costumes run around $45, though more complicated versions rise to someplace in the neighborhood of $90. De May says the most fully realized ensembles can run about $250.

Still, dressing up as someone else is therapeutic; a time to let your inner kid run free.

Or maybe your motives are less existential, and you’re simply looking to scare the piss out of somebody. WhatStart a ever your drive, this is a conversation with a costume holiday about letting your from your imagunicorn mane down for the ination. This night.

The devastating true story hits close enough to home to feel the heat

9 + A REALISTIC

TAKE ON THE CULTURE OF THE WEST AND OUR WILDFIRE WOES - YOU’LL PROBABLY CRY. MAYBE A LOT.

BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Santa Fe’s relationship with Only the Brave isn’t just that our city streets doubled for Prescott, Arizona, in some of the movie’s scenes. It’s closer to home than that: This could have just as easily been a story originally set in our town. What we have in common with the characters and the events of the drama based on the true tale of the Granite Mountain Hotshots is a shared narrative of wildfire looming on the horizon every summer. We could have lost 19 strong, young men, just like Prescott did.

But the production doesn’t just go racing to the fatal blaze in a forensic fury; it lingers on the important tale of the risk that Prescott took by investing in the first-ever municipal wildland firefighting team to earn federal certification as elite hot shots.

The audience gets a quick read on four characters whose names we soon learn: superintendent Eric Marsh (the ever lovably

gruff Josh Brolin of No Country for Old Men) and his second in command Jesse Steed (James Badge Dale, World War Z), along with Mac (Taylor Kitsch, Friday Night Lights), who doesn’t at all trust Brendan (Miles Teller, Divergent), a recovering addict who gets a puzzling second chance from Marsh. The rest of the men in the line of yellow shirts trudging through the pines blend together until the final credits, when we’re reminded of each one’s place, and of the empty space he left behind.

Fire itself is a strong character in the story, and its rendering on the big screen is beautiful even as it is horrifying. By the time we’re led to the Yarnell Hill Fire and we know what’s coming next, the tears start to flow. Ten minutes later, it’s a full-on sob- and snot-fest spurred on by the utter anguish of the sole surviving hot shot and

the widowed women, remarkable among them Amanda, Marsh’s wife, from a fiery Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind).

In this storytelling approach there’s little room for blame, except maybe on the wind and on the imprecise flight of a few tanker planes.

Despite an abundance of Monday morning quarterbacking in this incident in real life, nobody’s painted as the villain or the one who made a bad choice. Marsh calls fire a bitch in one memorable scene, and she is. An indiscriminate one. She took. And she’ll take again.

ONLY THE BRAVE Directed by Joseph Kosinski With Brolin, Kitsch, Teller, Dale and Connelly Jean Cocteau Cinema, Violet Crown, The Screen, Regal, PG-13, 133 mins.

THE SNOWMAN

2

One million micromorts of computer processing power went into making the Snowman come to life through live-action CGI models.

+ NORWAY SURE IS PRETTY - LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE

Never a great sign for a movie when one is a mere 30 minutes in and thinking, “Why the hell did I come to this thing?” Yet one might be forgiven in the case of The Snowman—the new Michael Fassbender flick that’s infiltrated everyone’s Facebook walls for weeks on end—since it looks like it’ll at least be thrilling. But thrilling it ain’t, though it definitely is long.

Fassbender is Harry Hole (yeah—Hole), a Norwegian detective amalgam of similar hardboiled cops torn from airport bookstore lit. He’s the kind of guy who drinks too much, cares too hard and yet seemingly has no problem burning down every positive relationship in his life, including that of former flame Rakel (a barely-there Charlotte Gainsbourg) and her son Oleg.

Harry starts getting letters from a maniac who not only likes to kill people but likes to build snowmen, though outside of the “Ohmygod, there’s a snowman here!” revelations it brings, there’s really no point beyond a thinly veiled and horrible stab at serial killer trophy tropes or symbology. We’ll save you the trouble—there

VICTORIA AND ABDUL

actually isn’t any, and despite Fassbender’s best attempts at portraying poor Harry as damaged, he really just seems like an asshole. Man, first Assassin’s Creed and now this. Bummer, Fassbender.

Elsewhere, middling or nearly-forgotten actors like Chloë Sevigny and Val Kilmer pop up as runtime padding and poorly constructed motivators for pointless supporting characters.

JK Simmons even appears, though his character may as well have been named Red Herring. All of this, of course, pales in comparison to the “payoff,” wherein we don’t give a shit who the bad guy has been no matter how surprising it’s meant to be.

It’s especially disappointing that The Snowman comes to us courtesy of director Tomas Alfredson, whose previous works like Let the Right One In or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy were at worst well-crafted, at best downright excellent—and though the streets and countrysides of Norway are gorgeous, even they can’t make us like this thing. This kind of makes The Snowman feel like the discarded pages of some never-released Girl with the Dragon Tattoo story that’s barely passable even as a distraction.

We can’t stress this enough: Do not see this movie. (Alex De Vore) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 119 min.

With a precision left arm parry block, Jackie Chan once again proves that he can block stuff real good in The Foreigner ... amazing.

THE FOREIGNER

+ JACKIE CHAN! - NOT ENOUGH JACKIE CHAN!

The Foreigner has a PR problem. See, all its trailers would have us believe that it’s basically Taken with Jackie Chan, and for the first 10 minutes, we really believe this will come to be. Chan plays Quan, a Chinese restauranteur living in London whose daughter is killed during a bombing carried out by an upstart terrorist cell called the Authentic IRA. He is understandably bummed, and we’ll actually give him points for his excellent acting chops. But after a Chan-heavy opening act, we’re left with Pierce Brosnan for the bulk of the rest. Brosnan is Liam Hennessy, a former IRA soldier who has risen the political ranks to become some sort of diplomat. He’s apparently pissed about the bombing, though it seems more about pardoning his IRA brethren for him than it does loss of life. Chan goes to see him about the names of those who killed his kid, but since Brosnan won’t help, Chan sets out to kill everyone because—ruh-roh, he’s not just a chef—he’s a trained spy! Twist!

For the remainder of the film, Chan does his acrobatics and ass-kickery in surprisingly few scenes while Brosnan navigates the intricacies of international diplomacy, tense relations in a post-IRA world and the constantly shifting loyalties of everyone he thought he could trust.

It might have been interesting, but The Foreigner instead forces us to remember names (or code names) of faceless people whom we maybe saw onscreen for 10 seconds in low light at the very beginning of the film. Brosnan does his best as the aging militant who has grown weary of violence, but for every scene of him staring into a fire and brogue-ing his way through a speech about the last 20 years, we couldn’t help but wonder why there wasn’t more bereaved-dad-Chan punching his way through any Irish thug silly enough to cross his path. Sigh.

The ending buckles under its own labyrinth of stupidity and features some mind-bogglingly disturbing imagery of policemen painted as heroes while straight-up murdering people. It’s also painfully confusing to figure out if Brosnan was in on it the whole time or if he was being played by the aforementioned faceless char-

acters but, either way, more Chan could have solved most of The Foreigner’s shortcomings if only they’d have let him. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 114 min.

+ PICKS UP THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE ORIGINAL BRILLIANTLY

- SUPER-LONG; GOSLING IS SO-SO

Director Dennis Villeneuve (Arrival) seems to not make bad films, and his Blade Runner 2049 does everything we could have possibly wanted from the longgestating project and more. Ryan Gosling is K—or Joe, depending on what we’re talkin’ about here—a replicant (lifelike robots, for those who haven’t seen Ridley Scott’s seminal 1982 film) turned cop who hunts down oldermodel replicants and “retires” them, which is really a fancy term for killing (since, like, there are not gold watches being handed out). K’s generation of replicants simply obey orders thanks to the shadowy Wallace Corp., the sole manufacturers of such robots run by a painfully over-the-top Jared Leto, who has seemingly crushed all free will out of these things. We can only assume whatever Leto did to prepare for the role, given his famously irritating “method” style, was tiresome.

But why should a robot deserve free will, and just how would one access such an abstract? This and other conundrums form the burning questions beneath the flying cars, replicant fistfights and future-y shootouts— what is free will, what is the soul and why does Leto’s character insist on wandering around creeping everyone out miserably with his terrifying future-eyes? K, of course, attempts to resolve these questions after a seemingly normal case propels him into the kind of mystery that gets people killed, replicants retired and unearths Harrison Ford (reprising his famous Deckard role) for one of those “We remember the first time he ran afoul of replicants!” moments for people of a certain age.

Villeneuve’s world is stunning, a brilliant intersection of future tech—if the vision from the 1980s had never changed—fan service and a riveting noir mystery. Gosling is interesting enough as the mostly emotionless K, but emotionless often seems like his thing, so

As the sun lowers below the horizon a distant saxophone begins to tickle the air. Two lovers gaze deep into each other’s eyes adoringly. Never have they felt this way. So free, so in love.

One, an android built for war that learned how to love. The other, some dude with a really cool floating sports car with buttons n’ stuff ... Blade Runner 2049, The Summer of Love. he’s right at home here. Far more interesting are the supporting players, specifically Sylvia Hoeks as Luv, a complex replicant who seems at war with her own developing emotions even as she murders anyone who gets in her way, and Ana de Armas as Joi, K’s holographic AI companion for whom he (and we) begin to develop very real attachment.

It’s very possible Blade Runner 2049 has set itself up for a sequel, which can sometimes be irksome, but with its many facets coming together into a wildly enjoyable sci-fi thriller, we’d actually welcome it with open arms. In the world of reboots, remakes and continuations currently dominating film and television, Villeneuve tackles the material in very smart ways. What happens next is wide open and inviting. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 163 min.

Dame Dench’s queen is a wonder to behold, her face and body taking on the deep reality of all her 82 years as she portrays the longserving monarch in the final years before her death at nearly the same age, 81. Dench’s delivery and poise feel regal, except for a few scenes at the outset where there seems a too-abrupt change between her stiff-lipped disinterest and her wet-eyed admiration of a handsome newcomer.

We can’t help but drop into memories of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel when we see the sparkling interaction between her character and the young Indian man she befriends.

Both movies touch on the same themes, and this one’s ring of true life events increases its value. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, PG-13, 112 min.

+ HISTORICAL DRAMA THAT’S NOT BORING

- ABRUPT TRANSITIONS, SADNESS

If your Anglophile history archive is missing the story of Queen Victoria and Abdul Karim, there’s nothing like a spicy historical drama to change that.

Based on a 2010 book of the same name

by Shrabani Basu, the story is billed as the mostly true, somewhat rom-com version of an unlikely relationship. It starts off funny enough (watching Her Majesty—portrayed

by Judi Dench—shovel food into her mouth, then fall asleep before the main course) and moves to laugh-out-loud quips between the pair of men from India as they make their way to the presence of the Queen. The odd couple of tall, thin Karim (Ali Fazal, Furious 7) and the shorter, wider Mohammed (Adeel Akhtar, The Dictator) are referred to in the palace as “the Hindus” despite that they’re of the Muslim faith, and this is comical at first, then a depressing indicator of the moral danger of imperialism. The whole of the plot soon enough turns darker, as Victoria’s household, including her dickish son Bertie, the Prince of Wales (spot-on by an almost unrecognizable Eddie Izzard), turn against Abdul, and ultimately her.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of October 25th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I share Vincent Van Gogh’s belief that “the best way to know life is to love many things.” But I also think that the next twelve months will be an inspiring time for you to be focused and single-minded in your involvement with love. That’s why I encourage you to take an approach articulated by the Russian mystic Anne Sophie Swetchine: “To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others.”

Halloween costume suggestion: a lover celebrating a sacred union to the love of your life, to God or Goddess, or to a symbol of your most sublime ideal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now is an excellent phase in your cycle to scour bathrooms, scrub floors, shampoo carpets, and wash windows. But the imminent future will be an even more favorable period to purify your motivations, tonify your emotions, purge your lessthan-noble agendas, calm down your monkey mind and monkey heart, disinfect the moldy parts of your past, and fact-check the stories you tell about yourself. So which set of tasks should you focus on? It may be possible to make great strides on the second set as you carry out the first set. But if there’s not enough time and energy to do both, favor the second set. Halloween costume suggestion: a superhero who has wondrous cleaning powers; King Janitor or Queen Maid.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Yes, We Have No Bananas” is a silly novelty song that became a big hit in 1923. Its absurdity led to its wide use for humorous effect.

For example, on the kids’ TV series The Muppet Show, puppets made out of fruits and vegetables sang parodies of the tune. That’s why I find it droll that the “No Bananas” songwriters stole part of the melody from the “Hallelujah Chorus,” the climax of classical composer George Handel’s religious oratorio Messiah. I’d love to see you engage in comparable transmutations, Taurus: making serious things amusing and vice versa. It’s a time when you can generate meaningful fun and playful progress through the art of reversal. Halloween costume suggestion: a tourist from Opposite Land or Bizarro World.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the next two weeks, you may have to navigate your way through careless gossip, distorted “facts,” superficial theories, hidden agendas, fake news, and official disinformation. To prevent problems in communication with people who matter, take advantage of the Halloween spirit in this way: Obtain a bicycle helmet and cover it with aluminum foil. Decorate it with an Ace of Clubs, a red rose, images of wrathful but benevolent superheroes, and a sign that says “No Bullshit Allowed.” By wearing this crown, you should remain protected. If that’s too weird for you, do the next best thing: Vow to speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and ask to receive the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “You never sing the same song twice,” said chanteuse Billie Holiday. “If you sing it with all the same phrasing and melody, you’re failing your art.” That’s an extreme statement, but I understand what she was driving at. Repeating yourself too much can be debilitating. That includes trying to draw inspiration from the same old sources that have worked in the past. I suggest you avoid this behavior in the coming days. Raise Holiday’s approach to a universal principle. Fresh sources of inspiration are available!

Halloween costume suggestion: a persona or character unlike any you’ve ever imagined yourself to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): How can you enjoy the lavish thrills of rebirth later unless you die a little inside now? It’s the trickiest phase of your cycle, when your energies are best used to resolve and graduate from the unfinished business of the last ten months. I suggest that you put the past to rest as best as you can. Don your funniest sad face and pay your last respects to the old ways and old days you’ll soon be leaving behind. Keep in mind that beauty will ultimately emerge from decay. Halloween costume suggestion: the mythical phoenix, which burns itself down, then resurrects itself from its own ashes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are no such things as magic healings and miraculous redemptions and impossible breakthroughs. Right? Hard evidence provided by science precludes the existence of exotic help coming from spiritual realms. Right? Well, no. Not right. There is in fact another real world that overlaps the material world, and it operates according to different laws that are mostly imperceptible to our senses.

But events in the other real world can have tangible effects in the material world. This is especially true for you right now. Take advantage! Seek practical answers and solutions in your dreams, meditations, visions, and numinous encounters. Halloween costume suggestion: white magic sorcerer or good witch.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Watch out for a fake pizzadelivery driver who’s actually trying to issue you a legal summons. Be careful you don’t glimpse a blood red sky at dusk, in case it’s a prophetic sign that your cell phone will fall into a toilet sometime soon. Beware of the possibility that a large bird carrying a turtle to its nest accidentally drops its prey into a rain puddle near you, splashing mud on your fancy clothes. JUST KIDDING! All the scenarios I just described are stupid lies. The truth is, this should be one of the most worryfree times ever. You’re welcome, of course, to dream up AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many years from now, a host of scary fantasies if you find that entertaining, but I guarantee that they’ll be illusory. Halloween cos- in your last hours on earth, you will have visions that show you how all the events in your life were crucial to tume suggestion: an indomitable warrior. your life story. You will understand the lesson that was LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What is the material object you provided by each twist and turn of your destiny. Every want most but don’t have? This is an object that would piece of the gigantic puzzle will slip into place, revealserve your soul’s highest purposes, although not necing the truth of what your mission has been. And duressarily your ego’s. Here’s another question: What ing that future climax, you may remember right now as evocative symbol might help keep you inspired to fulfill a time when you got a long glimpse of the totality.

Halloween costume suggestion: the happiest person on your dreams over the course of the next five years? I suggest that you choose one or both of those things to Earth; the sovereign of all you survey; the wise fool who understands yourself completely. be the inspiration for your Halloween costume.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Did you get a chance to go to circus school when you were a kid? How about magic school? Or maybe detective school or time-travel school or superhero school? Probably none of the above, right? Much of your education revolved around what you HAD to learn rather than what would be fun to learn. I’m not saying it was bad you were compelled to study subjects you felt ambivalent about. In the long run, it did you good. But now here’s some sweet news, Virgo: The next ten months will be a favorable time to get trainings and teachings in what you YEARN to learn. Halloween costume suggestion: a student.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might be able to pass for normal, but it will be better for your relationship with yourself if you don’t. You could try to tamp down your unusual urges and smooth your rough edges, but it will be smarter to regard those urges and edges as fertile raw material for your future happiness. Catch my drift? In the coming weeks, your main loyalty should be to your idiosyncratic intelligence. Halloween costume suggestion: the beautiful, interesting monster who lives in you.

Homework: Name your greatest unnecessary taboo and how you would violate it if it didn’t hurt anyone.
