“I don’t think so. There’s just the one room.”

“Oh. Well, if he went to your downtown, what is there to do? Mr. Trump likes razzle-dazzle. You got razzle-dazzle?”

“We’ve got that aplenty! We recently opened a cheese shop AND a pickle brinery, and folks here are still excited about it!”

“Hmmm. What about cute teenage girls? Mr. Trump loves to show up at beauty pageants. How soon could you set one of those up?”

“In Santa Fe? Maybe by 2036, if I don’t get beaten to death with concho belts first.”

“This isn’t sounding good. What I can do is send you the candidate’s DVD outlining the importance of family values. It’s got inspirational interviews with Mr. Trump and all three of his wives. Maybe you could show it at your little pickle brinery out there.”

“Look, I won’t take no for an answer. There must be a way.”

“Okay, okay. I’m looking at your demographics. You’ve got WAY too high a concentration of smart people around Santa Fe. Mr. Trump isn’t good with that, so you’ll need to dumb ’em down.”

“How do I do that?”

“You locate the places where smart people gather, and you give them all ball-peen hammers and have them pound themselves on the head real hard, over and over and over.”

“How long do they have to keep hitting themselves?”

“Oh, just until Mr. Trump starts to make sense to them. Are you in?”

“I sure am! I have to go now. I need to visit the Santa Fe Institute, and Los Alamos Labs, and … I have to go to the hardware store. This is Santa Fe. I’m going to need a LOT more hammers!”

ix months ago, when I endorsed Donald Trump and unveiled my Santa Feans for Trump organization, some of you laughed.

Okay, all of you laughed.

You listened to the pundits, who said a Trump candidacy would flame out in a matter of days, guaranteed.

Who’s laughing now?

Go back and read my column from last August, and you’ll see my logic was flawless. I argued that the country is ready for a nauseatingly obnoxious president, someone who makes you feel good just by shutting the hell up.

You didn’t take me seriously. You were all like, Bernie this and Bernie that. … But I stuck with it, and here I am, backing a winner.

As you might imagine, I’ve been busy laying the groundwork. My dream all along has been to get my candidate out here for a rally, so you can see what all the fuss is about.

This has not been easy. My first request to Mr. Trump’s national organization, inviting him to New Mexico, was met with a one-sentence reply: “Dear Mr. Boswell, thank you for your interest, but the candidate will not be visiting any foreign countries until after he is elected.”

This was going to be an uphill battle. Bold action was required. I picked up the phone and called the Trump mothership. I explained that New Mexico has been a state since 1912, so maybe they could make an exception.

The guy I spoke to tried to be helpful. This was our conversation: “Sure, I know all about Santa Fe! I saw it on an episode of The Bachelor last year, right?”

“Um, yes, but that isn’t a very good representation of …”

“Right! Kind of a cowboy sort of vibe? Listen, sometimes Mr. Trump will land, address a big rally at the airport, and take right off again. Does the Santa Fe Air-

OUR 2016 CITY ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS

We put patients first and deliver excellent care in the heart of Santa Fe.

CHANCES ARE, YOU’RE IN ONE OF TWO CAMPS AS SANTA FE’S MUNICIPAL ELECTION APPROACHES:

Open 7 days a week, 8am - 7pm

A. You have already got this all figured out and hope SFR endorses the people you know will do the best job.

Railyard Urgent Care is Santa Fe’s only dedicated urgent care clinic operating on a solely walk-in basis, 7 days a week, to ensure excellent medical care with the shortest possible wait times.

B. You aren’t sure who’s on the ballot or why you should care.

Locally & privately owned.

X-Rays onsite.

OUR ADVICE FOR MARCH 1: railyardurgentcare.com

IGNACIO GALLEGOS for Municipal Judge Since 2008, the city has required that all candidates for the job be trained as lawyers, so both candidates are that.

But then the similarities fade.

On one side is newcomer Ignacio Gallegos. No relation to former Judge Fran Gallegos, this Gallegos is on the uphill side of what looks like a promising career in the judicial system. The 2005 graduate of the University of New Mexico Law School is working now as a state administrative law judge who hears license revocation matters related to DWI cases.

The other choice on the ballot is former Santa Fe County Commissioner Virginia Vigil. Termed out after two relatively noneventful consecutive stints on that policymaking board, she turned to lobbying at the state Legislature. Vigil says she’s been handling pro bono cases in addition to being “retired” and serving as a pro tem substitute judge in the court, at least until she started campaigning for the job.

In the characteristic that sometimes rules all else in local elections, we’re asking you, voters, to resist the often-used bait: Gallegos is not from here. Unlike Vigil, he didn’t grow up on Canyon Road. His cousins and aunts and uncles are down in Belen. He grew up in Dallas and DC. But we hope you give Gallegos your vote anyway. He chose Santa Fe as his home and wants to stay here. Here’s one reason why he’s our pick for the local court: When we brought back our Pop Quiz this election season, to see what the candidates know about the way the office operates and the responsibilities of the judge, Gallegos practically aced it. Vigil had a lot to say, but she didn’t really say much. As a commissioner, her rambling speeches were sometimes head-scratchers.

Gallegos has a reputation in his current job for precise, well-researched opinions. His answers in campaign forums show that he is what he says he is: eventempered and thoughtful. And what he is not: a politician.

RENEE VILLARREAL for City Council After voting for municipal judge, most of you are done with the ballot—as three of four districts have just one person running for an open seat on the City Council. But if you live on the north side in District 1, four candidates are vying for your attention. Renee Villarreal has a fresh take that the council desperately needs. She offers education and experience with community planning that should be an asset to a body tasked with making tough calls about appropriate development.

While we are super proud of Skylight co-owner Kate Kennedy for taking a first try at a public office, we hope that the next time around, she does a little more homework to match her passion with strong policy ideas. Villarreal’s heart is most certainly in the race, too. But she’s also demonstrated a solid understanding of the city budget and other facets of the existing framework at City Hall that will help her hit the ground running.

Two other candidates, former city councilor and school board member Frank Montaño and artist Marie Campos, have done a good job of pointing out what every incoming and seated councilor should learn, and learn fast: The people of Santa Fe are disappointed in your leadership and deserve innovative solutions to bridging gaps in the budget and in the social fabric of our community.

to reveal info about wholesale medical cannabis growers

BY P ETE R ST. CYR @Peter_ St Cy r

T

he state’s medical cannabis program is about to become a lot more transparent. Ten months after it rejected SFR’s request to review dozens of new grower license applications, the Department of Health says it will release information on the licensees for the first time.

According to a post on the department’s website, Health Secretary Retta Ward has accepted the recommendation of a public hearing officer to amend the program’s rules. Gov. Susana Martinez ordered the change after the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government and this journalist sued the department for violating the NM Inspection of Public Records Act last July, but the wheels of justice moved slowly.

The rule and other recent program amendments are set to be effective on Monday, Feb. 29, after their required publication in The New Mexico Register.

Open government advocates and New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas have argued that current confidentially rules exceed the department’s statutory authority, claiming that program managers shouldn’t have withheld the growers’ identities from disclosure, since legislators did not specifically authorize the shield when they approved the program in 2007. Having information about who has been awarded the licenses and how well they are complying with program rules, they maintain, is essential to public oversight.

While the department says that most information about the producers and their financial backers will now be provided upon request, other documents, including tax returns and Social Security numbers (already protected under federal law), will be withheld, along with the home addresses of growers and nonprofit board members.

Information about 21,000 registered patients, who both use and grow cannabis to treat cancer, AIDS, chronic pain and other medical ailments, will remain confidential, however.

Program Manager Ken Groggle gave producers a heads-up about the change via email, writing that the department “intends to withhold only limited information” when responding to requests to inspect or copy such records.

That may not sit well with producers who fear disclosure and have expressed concerns about being targeted by criminals. During a public hearing on the rule change on Jan. 6, producers also argued the rule should not be applied retroactively, since they filed their applications with the idea the information would remain confidential. Some producers said they might seek a court injunction to prevent the rule from being applied retroactively. As of presstime, no such motion had been filed.

Nicole Morales, the president of the New Mexico Medical Cannabis Patients Alliance, tells SFR she understands some of the producers’ security concerns but thinks transparency is important.

“As the industry evolves, the producers need to get used to program changes,” says Morales, adding that her group is relieved patients’ names still won’t be revealed.

Ward also says she’ll adopt several common-sense rules intended to make the program less onerous for patients, including a new provision that allows patients who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain or inflammatory arthritis to apply for the program after getting a single medical practitioner to sign off their registration documents. In the past, signatures were needed from multiple doctors.

But already there are signs that the department isn’t ready to back its word. After the announcement on Monday, SFR filed a new request for the license applications. Late Tuesday, the department’s privacy officer sent us an email stating they believe the request is “broad and burdensome” and the regulators will need until April 6 to comply.

Susan Boe, the executive director for NMFOG, says, “I hope the public health department can position itself to respond more quickly to these requests, which it can anticipate will increase in light of this decision.”

Next to Judge You In the decade since Ann Yalman became the municipal court judge, the people’s court has become more professional and efficient

BY E LI Z A B E TH M I L L E R e l i za b e t h @ s frepo r ter.co m

J

udge Ann Yalman decided to call it quits after a decade running Santa Fe’s municipal court “because if you look at the prior judges, they all get into trouble beyond 10 years,” she says with a bit of a laugh. “I had no desire to run into trouble.”

With just weeks left on the bench, Yalman says, the plan is to keep her head down and go quietly into retirement, before any occasion might arise that would see her exit under the cloud of criminal or ethical investigation that hung over her predecessors.

Two candidates, Ignacio Gallegos and Virginia Vigil, vie for her seat judging what they characterize as the people’s court, the place where most people who wrangle with the judicial system find themselves—often for a traffic ticket, though a barking dog, a drunken driving charge and lots of other violations of the city code could land you there, too.

In the time Yalman has spent judging cases, she’s worn holes in the elbows of one of her black robes.

She wears the patched robe now only for homeless court, a program she instituted that takes the municipal court staff to Pete’s Place for one afternoon a month to check in on cases there, rather than demanding those folks make the trip all the way down Cerrillos Road to the courtroom.

That court, and the DUI and drug courts that deal with those offenders separately, are part “problemsolving courts” that have ramped up under YalYal man’s tenure.

“What they’re trying to deal with is probprob lems that are really more than just whether or not somebody shoplifted, but underlying substance abuse issues, underlying homeless issue—we try to address those,” she says.

When she started 10 years ago, those courts were seeing minimal use. The DUI court had just three participants. Between 2007 and 2013, the DUI court—which targets repeat offenders and those with severe alcohol probprob lems—graduated 150 participants, 131 of whom have not been convicted of another DUI in New Mexico.

of previous municipal court judges—Fran Gallegos and the pink hats convicted drunk drivers wore durdur sening their community service, and the alternative sen tencing program in drug court that used meditation and acupuncture, or Tom Fiorina’s collecting fines near the holidays in the form of a frozen turkey. The incareers of those two judges came to an end amid in vestigations of misconduct, though penalties were waived by the New Mexico Supreme Court after the judges were voted out or resigned from office.

The sum of the changes that have come with YalYal man, appointed to finish Gallegos’ term and then twice elected to the job, is an added level of profesprofes sionalism. For a visual on that, look to the court paperwork. Yalman describes inheriting a loose frearray of files that weren’t date-stamped and fre quently went missing.

“I’d see three people roaming the court for hours on end, looking for files. It drove me crazy,” Yalman says. “I’m not saying we never lose files. We do, but much less, and we started imaging just a couple years ago, … so if you can’t actually find the file, it’s there in the computer.”

The court now runs “more like a real court,” says Yalman, who practiced law in Othfederal court before taking this job. Oth er than an interim judge who served for 90 days before her, she’s the first lawyer to serve as Santa Fe’s municipal judge—a qualification that city law now requires of all candidates for the post.

“To me, a court is just a court. It’s not all things to all people,” she says. “I really don’t think a court can be all things to everybody—it can’t solve all the world’s problems and … if you read where non-lawyer judges get into trouble, it’s that they don’t seem to underunder stand the limits of their jurisdiction. They don’t seem to understand the limits of their authority, and they often have the best of intentions but they mess things up, so I kind of made an effort to clear everything out of the court that had nothing to do with the court.”

er favorite piece in the collection is easy to choose.

Even though Wendy Bustard manages more than 1 million artifacts from 120 sites in Chaco Canyon that are in the custody of the National Park Service, it takes her just a few seconds to come up with it.

“Probably, at the moment, the badger,” she says.

Bustard is talking about what researchers call a “ring pot,” a fascinating archaeological object in that they’re rare—only 20 are known to exist—but widespread, as in they’re scattered around the entire Southwest.

Some look like snakes, but others don’t seem to have an animal motif. No one has a solid theory about what they were used for. And this badger ring pot is even more rare still because of its artistry. Its distinctive face with vertical black lines leaves no doubt that it depicts the predator that still lives in America’s grasslands.

Yet today’s visitors to New Mexico’s Chaco Culture National Historical Park have a much better chance of seeing a live badger than this object of art.

That’s because he currently lives in a locked cabi-

BRINGING CHACO HOME Line up on a crisp morning to stand next to a green-clad park ranger as she talks about how 19th-century looters poked holes in the great houses and emptied rooms of their carefully stored caches. They hauled out baskets preserved away from the elements. They blew the dirt from huge pots and hand-sized bowls.

They pocketed effigies and beads by the thousands. And many of them were paid to do it (some even directly or indirectly by the US government), their booty landing in two venerable museums.

Chacoan communities have worldwide fame for the curious value system apparently at play.

While life was no doubt difficult and farming time-consuming, we know from the objects left behind that the people who lived here spent great portions of their waking hours devoted to creating things of beauty.

Yet you won’t see any of them on display at the park. The closest you can come to viewing its distinctive black-on-white cylindrical jars are replica coffee mugs for sale in the gift shop.

So where can you find the artifacts from Chaco?

Outside of the National Parks storate facility in Albuquerque, visitors to the New Mexico Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe can see beadwork and pots from Chaco in its dated central display—almost exclusively collected from the Chetro Ketl site, which was partly excavated between 1930 and 1948 by the students in the UNM Chaco net in the basement of a building on the University of New Mexico campus, where tours are by appointment only.

“He is absolutely unique,” Bustard says, holding him gingerly.

“He came to us through the mail. The US Postal Service.”

Bustard has been the collection’s curator since the mid-1990s. And although the vast majority of the items she takes care of came from archaeological excavations in the 1970s and ’80s, in a joint project between the Park Service and the university, some of them were collected much earlier and in less official ways. The badger was among other objects in a box that once belonged to people who had lived and worked at the Chaco trading post in the 1920s.

“It was only a few years ago, I think five, that a grandson found them in the attic and realized what they were,” she says. “And he realized that they should not be in the family attic.”

No one knows how much of Chaco’s treasures ended up in private hands. Even the vast number of artifacts now in the Park Service collection pales in comparison to the rich material from the region that’s been sitting for almost 100 years in museum vaults back East.

When Bustard and her colleagues complete a plan now in the works to mount a new exhibit at the park, they’ll be bringing at least some of it back.

Anytime you have materials from archaeological sites sitting in a storage cabinet on a shelf, in some ways, is unfortunate.

Field School. A loan on its way to the Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces contains a woven headband and other items from Chaco. But the bulk of the state-held materials are in locked basement cabinets.

The frog from the movie, for example, is often pictured, but seldom seen. Its image appears in a recent blog post about the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall inside the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The exhibit honors Roosevelt’s efforts to protect the area with the passage of the Antiquities Act in 1907 to slow the plunder and vandals—or at least redirect most of it through official channels, which ensured that recovered items landed in public museums. But the frog isn’t actually on display with Teddy’s stuff. It’s in storage, too.

Mostly, the artifacts from Chaco are in the dark and far away.

They’re filed in wood and metal cabinets in places like the Smithsonian’s Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC, resting in narrow drawers, labeled with numbers and letters.

Steve Plog, a researcher who has assembled a comprehensive online repository of Chaco material over the last 15 years, says there’s deep significance in the part of the Parks Service plan to access the other major collections.

Between the late 1800s and the 1930s, artifacts steadily left Chaco at the hands of amateur and professional archaeoloThis rare “ring vessel” gists, who collected them for depicts a badger, an the likes of the Smithsonian animal still living in Chaco today. and the National Geographic Society. Their names, like Wetherill, Hyde, Pepper and Moorehead, sometimes come out of modern mouths with a bitter tone. Together, those men oversaw the complete excavation of Pueblo Bonito, the iconic great house that now appears on the US quarter depicting the park.

“Even back in the early 1900s,” Plog says, “New Mexicans were upset about the fact that all these eastern museums were coming out not just to New Mexico but to Colorado and Arizona and excavating these sites and taking all the materials away.”

The new exhibit, Plog says is, “sort of like bringing part of your heritage back to where it originally belonged.”

While the artifacts and the information in reports about how and where they were found are still providing researchers with important data, vaults aren’t the ideal resting place in all circumstances.

“Anytime you have materials from archaeological sites sitting in a storage cabinet on a shelf, in some ways, is unfortunate because it’s been removed from the context,” Plog says. Without knowing, for example, that the rooms of Pueblo Bonito contained skeletons of macaws, birds that were likely transported from hundreds of miles away in Mexico, it’s hard to fathom that the great houses of Chaco were hubs for trade.

“It doesn’t allow the people to understand how remarkable that was,” he says.

Park caretakers never intended for this to happen, explains Bustard.

Objects crafted by the people in and around Chaco had been displayed for visitors formally at the park since about the 1950s. Building renovations at its visitor’s center in 2010, however, revealed that the exhibit that had been doing the job since the 1980s had a big problem: no foundation; built on shifting sand.

So rather than shore up the bad construction, they removed the exhibit, tore down the building and put up a new one. Yet since no one had planned that wrinkle, the bureaucracy didn’t have funding to restore the exhibit or design a fresh approach.

Six years later, the wheels are in motion. And what’s on the way promises to be a first-of-its-kind display, bringing together the Park Service collection and items on long-term loan from the big museums.

“Right now, if everything aligns properly in the universe, there will be an exhibit opening probably sometime around February of next year,” Bustard says as she’s wrapping up a tour of the Park Service collection this winter. Then she backtracks a bit. Well, at least the plan is to start installing the exhibit then.

“What we’re trying to do—and why it is so complicated and it has taken so long and will be very expensive—is that we’re trying to bring back some of the

Chaco material from the institutions back East. And that is a challenge.”

Negotiations with those “back East” players started in earnest several years ago, and Bustard travelled to New York and Washington DC to shop in the vaults for objects that would fit her vision of the best Chaco showcase.

Of the 450 artifacts now slated for the exhibit, about 175 will make that 2,000-mile journey.

It’s not as simple as choosing the items and ordering extra bubble wrap before the FedEx guy comes.

The process of getting fragile artifacts from point A to point B, in good condition, requires what curators call conservation, which entails a careful examination for structural integrity, preparation of extensive paperwork required for the transfer of custody, and, of course, packing, which might include using specially constructed cases. The transportation and conservation alone will likely cost over $100,000, Bustard says.

Even the items in possession of the Park Service need attention before they go on display. Over the last year, curators have moved almost all of the material for the exhibit from Albuquerque to its Western Archeological and Conservation Center in Tucson, driving van-loads of them at a time. There, special-

The floorplan of the new exhibit includes a section called “Tribal Connections,” which is part of the result of that outreach.

Many are waiting with interest to see what happens with the exhibit.

C L Kieffer, for example, is a doctoral candidate who works as the archaeology collections manager at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology in Santa Fe—a long-term research repository for artifacts found on state land and other special collections. Boxes containing pot sherds and stone tools from Chaco, along with drawers of ancient yucca fibers and feathers, and several manos and metates (flat rocks used for processing food there) are in her care.

“Chaco is one of those sites that they tell you about in school,” Kieffer says. “There’s always been hype behind anything that comes out of Chaco, and what we’ve always been taught is to save a little [untouched] because the techniques will get better. I am sure that Chaco will be talked about 100 years from now.”

Maxine McBrinn, her colleague who curates the Museum Hill archaeology collection and is planning to revamp its feature exhibit soon, says she’s been watching for the re-establishment of the display at Chaco, too.

“In 2011, when I took a field school out there and they had just opened the new facility, it was like, well this is really nice but there’s all this space. I heard they were thinking of putting an exhibition in, but then I went back in 2012 and 2014, and there was still nothing there,” she says.

McBrinn oversees the storage of enough Chaco material to concentrate on the site if she wanted to, but with a mission to cover the greater Southwest and its diversity, her scope is more broad. Just this year, though, the museum showed a series of new aerial Wendy Bustard, Chaco collections curator for the National Park Service in Albuquerque, gives tours by appointment only.

According to guitarist Greg Lopez, it’s all about their accessibility. “I think it’s because we’re just regular guys, and people can come and be rock stars with us,” he says. “Or it just looks like we’re having a great time ourselves.” Lopez adds that the stalwart cover act has brought a new bassist into the mix and added all sorts of new songs to their set, from the likes of INXS and UB40. So should you love Chango? You bet. It’s just fun, all right? Jeeze. (ADV)

ART OPENINGS

Transitional Art plus passion plus adversity equals magic pathos, tragedy and interesting experiences, so I thought this was a really great vehicle for me to put all of what I do best, which is to perform and write, into a very personal story.”

These difficult life changes tend to fuel the very best songs, those relatable and painful tales that show us our purveyors of music are not just working through a committee process or after our money via the worship of market research; they create true art by pouring their very souls into the work and providing us a fleeting glimpse into the good and bad that shaped them.

Bullens says that thousands have reached out to say his music touched them, and that’s moving and powerful, perhaps frightening now and then, yes, but ultimately the triumphant resilience to which we all aspire and a sincere and tactfully delivered declaration that yes, you are going to be OK— no one is ever truly broken beyond repair. Proceeds for the fundraiser on Friday go to Southwest Care Center, an excellent resource for New Mexicans living with HIV; Bullens also repeats the performance Saturday evening for $20.

“We were drawn by the pure beauty of his work,” says Bob Gardner, gallery director at LewAllen Galleries, about the work of Belgian painter Dirk de Bruycker. A memorial exhibition opens this Friday to commemorate the life and work of the artist. The selections make clear the development and apex of his thought: the rejection of artifice and self-delusion in favor of real contemplation. Wide, abstract swaths of bright color and subtle curves, inspired by the shortlived butterfly, dominate the work of his later career and serve as a profound finale for a purely beautiful body of work.

MUSIC ¡ORALE!

What exactly is traditional Northern New Mexican music? “There’s a pretty rich tradition of violin-based music, generally accompanied by guitar or accordion,” Lone Piñón’s Greg Glassman says. “There are fiddle tunes accompanied by dichos, which are like sayings with a bit of wisdom or a little humor passed down from generation to generation.” Think of this music like oral/musical history, or an artform that proudly follows in the footsteps of classical poets and poetry. Or just think of it as a great reason to be there when Lone Piñón release their debut record of traditional tunes, Trio Nuevo Mexicano. (ADV)

WENDY JOHNSON

Somewhere Between (which has its world premier this Friday at the Railyard Performance Center) is the very definition of concept performance, a theatrical, autobiographical solo tale told through the eyes of trans singersongwriter Cidny Bullens. Bullens’ story begins in ’74, back when he identified as female, and covers the sojourn from no-name troubadour to Grammy-nominated champion of musicianship. We’ll watch and listen as songs and narratives weave their way between real-life tales such as Bullens’ work with Elton John and Bob Dylan, the release of several acclaimed records, losing her 11-year-old daughter Jessie to cancer and the eventual decision in 2011 to transition from female to male, from Cindy to Cidny.

Since then, Bullens has remained relatively quiet, but the upcoming event, described as a “one wo/man show,” will be a return to form for the hard-working songwriter. Bullens exists someplace between legendary working-class heroes like Springsteen and Hiatt, but with a passion born of adversity the likes of which most of us can’t even imagine that propels him into an arena all his own. There is a rawness to Bullens’ fearless exploration of his own experience and grief.

“I’m pretty transparent with my feelings, and I’ve had a very interesting life,” Bullens tells SFR. “There’s a lot of

Coco O’Connor isn’t going to change music, but she is going to bring something a little different to town

SHAUGHN AND JOHN

Hot Coco

BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex

Y

ou may find yourself asking, “Who the hell is Coco O’Connor?” Given her all-toofamiliar Americana/country/rock sound and her residence in Santa Fe since ’99, it’s almost unbelievable we’ve never really seen a set or heard a record from the sometimes band leader, sometimes singer-songwriter. O’Connor’s sound follows in the footsteps of titanic musical ladies like Dolly Parton and Bonnie Raitt, but with a more contemporary blues-rock slant or almost swampy, down-South oldtime aesthetic. Acoustic guitars dominate the tracks, but electric riffs do take the songs into ever-so-slightly heavier territory. It’s nothing new or groundbreaking or even particularly thrilling, but O’Connor manages to create a niche for herself amongst the throngs of similar local artists which, for better or worse, makes her stand out, and that’s noteworthy in and of itself.

Hell, she even won a New Mexico Music Award back in 2008 (for electronic music production). Either way, it’s something we’re not used to, and O’Connor releases Turquoise at an event this Friday night at Center Stage, alongside a full band of cohorts. Let’s throw some questions her way, shall we?

First the boring question—how did you get into playing music?

I started playing bluegrass at 5. My mom always had me in pageants. I was writing original songs at 10; I was a huge Dolly Parton fan, and my mom suggested that I write originals. … I’ve always loved music.

And why is it that I have never heard of you before this week?

I honestly tend to hole up in the studio. I’ve reached out to some people and venues, but it never really panned out until recently. I think there’s a time for everything, and even though I’ve done previous albums, this one really contains songs that are—to me—really

Brick pillars aren’t ergonomic and don’t meet OSHA requirements, FYI.

crafted. They’re less exploratory than my previous work, and I think the reason I’ve been under the radar is because the songs weren’t ready until now.

Genre-wise, what are you aiming for?

Right now I would say Americana, but I believe in the power of a great song. What I believe I’ve done with this record is to focus on the song. Even when I was doing electronic music, I approached it from a traditional “verse, chorus, verse” song structure. When I wanted to get back into my songwriting, I released a five-song EP called Coco O’Connor and the Redeemers, and we tried to do this jam-band kind of thing while we looked for some kind of footing or identity, which wound up being Americana. It can encompass so much.

In Santa Fe, with so much music like this, why should we care about you in particular? How will you differentiate yourself from similar local artists?

If you’re wanting a more mature commentary on life, you should take a listen. I think Santa Fe is a very mature town and is obviously very creative. For someone like me, to have a song featured on the radio (Author’s note: O’Connor’s “Empty in California” is in rotation

on Radio Free Santa Fe.), and to have such respect for the creativity here and to feel so honored to be a part of it … I guess I consider myself an artist’s artist. My goal is to be a songwriter’s songwriter and to earn the respect of my peers. If I can do that, I’ll have differentiated myself.

The album is a lot more electric in sound than I expected it to be when I was first learning about your music.

Billy Harvey, who plays with Patti Griffin and who is an incredible artist in his own right, with some great releases, played those tracks.

Now that you’re releasing Turquoise, are we going to see more of you around town?

I would sure hope so. I’ve played stripped-down shows with my husband, who’s a keyboardist, in places like Madrid for their Gypsy Fest, but I sure would like to play in Santa Fe more often.

COCO O’CONNOR TURQUOISE RELEASE SHOW 8 pm Friday, Feb. 26. $20 (includes the CD).

WE WANT TO BELIEVE The X-Files was totally only OK

BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex

L

et’s say that you had a kid around the time The X-Files originally went off the air in 2002. This kid would now be a walking, talking teenager with thoughts and feelings and a pretty decent chance for behavior that is eerily parallel to the recent resurgence of the classic sci-fi series that put David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and even Breaking Bad architect Vince Gilligan on the map. By this we mean that while we absolutely adore Chris Carter’s complex world of conspiracy theories, alien abductions and wildly enjoyable standalone oddities, it also has the power to leave us sorely disappointed, despite our highest hopes.

For many, the announcement that we’d once again get to follow Special Agents Mulder and Scully as they investigated the paranormal and scientifically preposterous from their basement office at FBI headquarters was thrilling. If you’d grown up with the show or even binged via Netflix years later, it held a special place in your heart—not only as one of the more clever programs in television history, but as one of those rare instances when a network takes a

They’re not really looking at anything. Must be why they couldn’t find Scully’s baby. Too soon?

It was obvious that we were dealing with a tricky combo of fan service and lack of time.

chance on something bizarre and intelligent. We became rabid, tuning in over and over again, to see events unfold, like our heroes mysteriously aging overnight on an abandoned military ship, or small towns full of freaks, or Giovanni Ribisi gaining electricity powers (and attacking Jack Black, by the way), or to uncover the mysteries of the Smoking Man. There are dozens of memorable plotlines and stories to enjoy from the original run. The X-Files knew how to capture our imaginations, but even more importantly, it knew how to suspend our disbelief.

They weren’t all winners, though, and by the time the show finally wrapped in 2002, many viewers had moved on already. And yet, word of the new episodes had us once again hopeful. TV has no doubt grown more sophisticated over the years, and scripted programs have become more intelligently crafted than ever. Surely Chris Carter still had stories to tell, and failing that, it would be good to see Mulder and Scully hit the streets again. And then it was fine. Just fine.

Call it a casualty of Internet overhype or blame it on a mere six-

episode run, but the sad truth is that the show returned not with a bang, but with a whimper.

That’s hard to say, as we’re discussing something sacred-adjacent here, but from the get-go, it was obvious we were dealing with a tricky combo of fan service and lack of time. Of course, they’d have to strike a tone similar in nature to the original run (the nerds would revolt otherwise), but six episodes simply aren’t enough to capture the slow burn needed to properly reintroduce these characters and show what they’ve been up against all this time.

By delving into the more ridiculous lineage of standalone episodes or wasting time on a super-long dance montage (not kidding), the over-arching plotline of alien DNA and the revelation that everything Mulder had believed was now being tested and buried beneath an avalanche of material. It would have been wildly enjoyable, had we not been searching for specific answers. Or to put it another way, a carrot is dangled in the opening episode and then dropped until the end, in favor of cramming as many “Remember when we did this kind of thing last time?” moments. Even Community alum Joel McHale as the oddly believable conspiracy theorist Tad O’Malley wasn’t enough of a cypher for narrative exposition to properly explain the confusing elements of the main point, and that’s a shame, because if nothing else, the prospect of some ultimate payoff was damn exciting.

Of course, it’s hard to complain when we were given pretty much exactly what we were expecting, and the cliffhanger ending promises more episodes on the horizon. For now, it’s probably wise to take a quick breather and trust that The X-Files will somehow come full circle and give us the answers we’ve wanted all along. Either way, it was damn good to have ’em back.

THE CALENDAR

Gay, thirtysomething male in DC. My boyfriend of three years has been acting strange—not taking his antidepression meds, says he’s feeling weird. He has withdrawn from me, sleeps 15 hours a day, and has been canceling on commitments to socialize with friends. That I am fine with—he’s blue and I get it. Here’s why I’m writing: He was doing an online crossword, and when he got up, I was going to write a message in it—to be funny and sweet. What I saw messed me up. There was a browser window open about meth and depression. He is 48 and successful, and isn’t a clubber or party-going type.

METH? What the hell? I snooped further, and there was a detailed search history on meth, meth and depression, meth and sex. He doesn’t seem to have been high around me— and I would never use meth, it’s not my thing and I have a security clearance (no drugs for me, ever)—but I don’t want to date an addict.

I don’t want to be with someone who would take such a dumb risk. And for what? Dude!

You’re 48, you have a career, a business, and a guy who cares for you! WTF?!? I know what you’ll say: Use your words—and, trust me, I will. But am I totally crazy? I feel shitty for having snooped, but it started innocently enough with me wanting to write a goofy note on his crossword puzzle.

-Snoop Now All Fucked Up Meth addicts aren’t known for sleeping 15 hours a day, SNAFU. Meth addicts aren’t known for sleeping at all. So perhaps your boyfriend abused meth before you met—and there’s no using meth, only abusing meth— and conquered his addiction and/or stopped abusing meth years ago. And now he’s depressed and off his meds, and he went online to investigate whether his past meth abuse could be contributing to his current depression.

As for the snooping angle…

When we snoop, we sometimes find out things we don’t want to know, don’t need to know, and don’t need to do anything about.

For example, the new boyfriend has a few sexts from his ex tucked away on his computer, your dad is cheating on his third wife, your adult daughter is selling her used panties online. But sometimes we find out things we needed to know and have to do something about. For example, your 14-year-old daughter is planning to meet up with a 35-year-old man she met on Instagram, your “straight” boyfriend is having unsafe sex with dozens of men behind your back, your spouse is planning to vote for Ted Cruz—in those cases, you have to intervene, break up, and file for civil commitment, respectively.

Learning your depressed-and-off-his-meds boyfriend may have—or may have had—a meth problem falls into the needed to know/ have to do something about category. So, yeah, SNAFU, you gotta use your words. Go to your boyfriend, tell him what you discovered and how you discovered it, and demand an explanation while offering to help. Urge him to see his doctor—whoever prescribed the antidepressants he stopped taking—and go into the convo armed with a list of the resources available to him.

“We’re lucky to have a lot of great resources in DC,” said David Mariner, executive director of the DC Center for the LGBT Community (thedccenter.org). “The Triangle Club (triangleclub.org) is an LGBT recovery house, and they host all sorts of 12-step meetings. Crystal Meth Anonymous is really active here. And we’re just kicking off a harm-reduction group here at the DC Center.”

I asked Mariner if your boyfriend sounded to him like someone currently abusing meth.

FEBRUARY 24-MARCH 1, 2016

“I’m not an expert,” Mariner replied, “but he doesn’t sound like it to me. He may be having a hard time talking to his boyfriend about this because for folks who have a history of meth use, sex can be tricky. Meth use and sexual activity are often so intertwined that it can make it hard to talk to a partner.”

Finally, SNAFU, don’t make it harder for your partner to be honest with you by threatening to break up with him. You don’t have to remain in a relationship with an addict, if indeed he is an addict, forever. But start by showing him compassion and offering support. You can make up your mind about your future—whether you have one together—during a subsequent conversation.

I’m a 36-year-old hetero male, into BDSM and polyamory. I’ve been drinking deep from the bowels of the internet lately, getting laid more than I ever thought was possible. I’m open about the fact that I fuck around a lot and that monogamy would never work for me. I use condoms with everyone except my primary partner, and I abide by your campsite rule. I don’t want to be anyone’s wonderful husband; I want to be the Casanova who climbs in through the window. Last week, the internet was good at delivering. Usually I can talk to 10 women who all seem interested, but in the end, only one or two want to actually meet. But last week, I had sex five times in five days with five different women. And that just made me feel awesome, turned on, and wonderful. Is there a term for someone who gets turned on by finding new people to have sex with? Have I discovered a new kink?

Is there a name for people like me? If there is, I couldn’t find it. Google failed me. Can a person have a kink for finding new sex partners?

What would it be called? Or am I just a slutty man-whore?

-Dude Drinking Deep I don’t think “drinking deep from the bowels of [blank]” is a good way to describe something you enjoy, DDD. Watching a GOP debate? Perhaps best described as drinking deep from the bowels of the terrifying American id. Enjoying consensual sex with people you’re into? Better described as “drinking deep from Aphrodite’s honeyed mouth” or “licking Adonis’s jizz off Antinous’s tits” or simply “killing it”—really, anything would be an improvement.

As for what your kink is called…

“What DDD describes is consistent with a motivational style once called Don Juan syndrome,” said Dr. David Ley, author and clinical psychologist. “It has also been called Casanova or James Bond syndrome. Essentially, these are folks most excited by the quest/ hunt for novelty in sex partners. This was once viewed as deeply dysfunctional from a heteronormative, monogamy-idealizing therapeutic culture. What I appreciate about DDD is that, even though he uses sex-addiction language, it’s clear he has accepted himself and his desire. I’d say he has adapted fairly well, and responsibly, to that tendency in himself.”

I just posted a new word on the Physician Moms Facebook group and was told that I should send it to you. I got tired of hearing “She’s got balls,” so I made up a new word, clitzpah (klit-spe) noun: a woman with guts!

Origin of clitzpah: clitoris (kli-te-res) noun: an organ of the female genitalia, the purpose of which is purely to bring women pleasure, and chutzpah (hu t-spe) noun: a Yiddish term for courage bordering on arrogance.

I hope this is useful!

-Jill Becker, clitzpah.com It’s a lovely word, Jill—and I’m happy to help you roll it out!

THEATER

What do you do when you’re wanted for a murder you didn’t commit, and you’re the only person with the intel to prevent a national security breach? In Alfred Hitchcock’s classic romantic comedy/thriller, The 39 Steps, the protagonist Richard Hannay must figure out how to successfully evade the police, double-cross spies and get the girl. Hania Stocker plays Hannay in the Santa Fe Playhouse’s (142 E DeVargas St., 988-4262) upcoming production, which runs from Feb. 25 until March 13. (Anna Mae Kersey) How do you keep the performance fresh every night?

I find that when you’ve committed to your character, you begin to live in the moment. You’re living the life of the character, reacting as he would or she would in the moment. Each time, if your reaction is genuine, it can be new and fresh. If you can bring that character to life, then spontaneous, new things will come up every night. You’ll find different things, you’ll go deeper as you discover your character, as you develop the interactions with the other characters.

What’s your process for getting into character for a physical comedy period piece with an accent?

I’ve seen the original 39 Steps a few times now, so that’s how I gained information about the time period, the attitudes, how people carried themselves, but I also picked a few favorite other movies. Take Princess Bride, for example. That where I drew some of my ideas for swashbuckling moments and some of the comedy that I couldn’t get from the original movie. As far as the accent, he is British-Canadian, and I grew up in the Midwest, so I had an idea of what Canadians sound like, but also the style is important. It’s more affected than it is British, if you will. A sort of affected, AmericanEnglish even. For my character, I don’t have to go all the way to picking a region of Europe for example, or a region of England, a city and a neighborhood with dialects. It’s not that specific.”

2011•2012•2013•2014•2015

What’s an aspect of the show that audiences might find surprising?

The play entails 30-50 characters, more or less, a lot of characters, and they’re all played by four people. There are only four actors and all these parts. I play Richard Hannay, and I don’t change characters, but the woman playing Richard’s love interest plays three women and the two other gentlemen in the show all of the other characters. It’s a real feat.

FOOD

T

he ever-mutable Jalapeños has changed once again, now known as Lucia’s or “Lucia’s and Jalapeños,” according to their receipts, or Lucia’s El Jalapeños, according to the Internet. Owner Raul Aboytes altered the moniker in tribute to his late grandmother. But from the perspective of hungry diners, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Sitting in the old home of Café Ole between Camino Carlos Rey and St. Michael’s Drive (2411 Cerrillos Road, 471-4585), where Aboytes relocated his flagship a little over a year ago, the restaurant’s interior still boasts a Technicolor extravaganza, with hand-painted chairs and a rather interesting framed Sacred Heart, and it is chock-full of Virgin Mary iconography. The seats are care-worn but beautiful, and the cushions that adorn them almost— but not quite—cradle your rear end as you sit down to eat.

The kitschy décor seems to tell you that this is an establishment that does things its own way. And if you walk in during a lunch hour, the filled tables indicate that the food is worth the trip down the traffic-laden Cerril-

ith service of all three meals nearly every day in its bustling community room and on two outdoor patios, including under a shade structure in the front, eating here is a low-key, cash-only affair that gives you time to contemplate a constantly changing decorative scheme featuring local artists. Yet the grub is far from simple. Veggie frittatas ($10) and fried egg sandwiches ($5.50) are breakfast musts, alongside endless urns of coffee, if you can manage to get through the checkout line without picking up a cinnamon roll the size of your face (available only on Wednesdays and weekends).

A slab of portobello between two slices of focaccia joins other lunch offerings that can be paired with a tasty salad (blessedly absent iceberg lettuce) or a cup of the spicy Thai coconut salmon soup that keeps diners returning week after week. And the shifting dinner menu, sadly not available on Sundays or Mondays, which can include craft bottled beer or a selection of wine, offers dishes from the grill such as skin-on rainbow trout ($13.25), served with a dill cream sauce and crispy potato croquette.

Sacrificial Altar

Sometimes cinema is really uncomfortable

by Ben Kendall culture@sfreporter.com Calling The Club (originally El Club) heavy in terms of subject matter and emotional resonance would be an understatement. Indeed, this film lulls you into a false sense of security, with stunning shots of sunsets on a beach in a nigh-idyllic small town somewhere in South America (in this case, Chile), with dog-racing as a local pastime and charming communal dinners. But what lies beneath the surface is entirely more serious than what the audience is led to believe in the first half-hour.

A quiet house on the coast is the residence of four priests and a nun, all living out some sort of enforced spiritual penance for various crimes (all involving children in some way) in an effort to simultaneously sweep them under the rug from the eyes of the press and public and somehow pray away their moral lapses. Director Pablo Larraín’s latest movie explores the myriad depredations of the Catholic Church in troubling detail, without being too graphic in imagery. Even so, the past transgressions of the household members are held up to excruciating scrutiny through dialogue and situational context that

tion (kind of a fish-eye effect at the edges of the picture) accompanies a somewhat soft picture. Use of practical lighting (a lamp or ceiling light that can be seen in frame) brings a certain verisimilitude to the film.

The blocking of the scenes is also worthy of mention. Many scenes are filmed in the interior of the small house where the erstwhile clerics reside, conveying an almost claustrophobic (or is it cloister-phobic?) theme, considering the close proximity the cast is situated in each scene. It may also illustrate how they’ve all become close, with Padre García on the outside, trying to penetrate their inner circle, and the silence that surrounds an event that triggers the conflict.

Violence appears sparingly, but with a profound and visceral result. It’s a graphic representation of the injustice they’ve perpetrated on the innocent, and when it occurs—either by surprise or by sinister design—it never fails to make the audience feel something.

The Club is a haunting fictional exploration of recent events concerning the widespread abuse perpetrated by the Church. It may be a movie that you see only once, but you’ll remember it well after you’ve left the theater.

THE CLUB Directed by Pablo Larraín with Farías, Zegers, Castro, Goic, Alonso CCA, R, 98 min.

SCREENER

proves all too real. The Club succeeds in making the audience uncomfortable in that the crimes committed by the main characters are well rooted in reality.

Every moment is a multifarious connection of fear and disgust, of humanity and misery, all beneath a thick layer of psychological loathing.

The performances are powerful and exquisite. Hermana Mónica’s (Antonia Zegers) eyes betray her feelings of quiet desperation in the face of an official investigation by Vatican priest Padre García (Marcelo Alonso). Padre Vidal’s (Alfredo Castro) callow weakness, coupled with his fanatical devotion to the quintet’s adopted greyhound, has a depth that illustrates a paradoxical kind-heartedness, considering the egregiousness of his past. Padre Ortega’s (Alejandro Goic) unapologetic and incendiary rebellions are entirely believable. A victim of one of the clergy, Sandokan (Roberto Farías), is somehow touching despite being a drug-addicted and mentally broken indigent.

The characters in the film are indeed a paradox in and of themselves, wherein the writing provides moments of emotional contact with the lives and motivations of the principals, despite their sordid histories.

The cinematography is remarkable, and as director of photography, Sergio Armstrong made some interesting choices. For instance, it appears some shots utilized very old lenses—evident in several scenes where barrel distor-

THE WITCH

With focused attention on historical accuracy and A-game production values, it’d be hard not to hit The Witch out of the park.

Unfortunately, the care that was given to the aforementioned aspects of the film was not paid to the writing—at least, not in the way of structure or plot.

Director Robert Eggers reportedly visited museums for four years to better understand and bring life to the subject. It shows in everything the audience lays eyes on, with period dress, architecture and dialogue all outstandingly crafted with a loving touch that brings the time in which the story takes place to life.

The Witch is a 17th-century puritanical folktale wherein the protagonist family’s patriarch William (wonderfully performed by Ralph Ineson) is banished from the village for nigh-heretical religious beliefs. It must be said that William’s religious beliefs don’t seem to be outside what the common theatergoer would construe as “not puritanical.” But apparently, William just wasn’t the town’s brand of Christian and was thrown out to the woods because of it. The family then moves to the outskirts of a forest and tries to scrape a meager living out of the land. Then, all hell breaks loose after the mysterious disappearance of their baby at the edge of the tree line. Or rather, it insidiously crawls its way into their lives, sowing the seeds of paranoia and psychological ter-

ror. Well, that’s what it says on the tin.

What really happens is a plodding slog of a movie bereft of theme or bearable pace.

Calling The Witch a slow-burn isn’t as close to the mark as saying it is “glacially painful.” The point of view switches so often that you’re not given enough time with the character to form any kind of attachment, were that attachment possible. And it isn’t.

It seems that every character’s motivations are so steeped in religion that forming a connection with a largely secular audience is a difficult task at best.

However, the performances are absolutely stellar. Anna Taylor-Joy’s depiction as the oldest child, Thomasin, was excellent. And here, the writing was uncomfortably deep, as her blossoming womanhood is a temptation for her younger brother on the cusp of puberty. And while this is unsettling, it does reasonably set up her story arc towards the middle of the second act. Kate Dickie as the mother had outstanding moments being driven to grief-stricken madness.

This is supposed to be a horror movie. What is built up in the first two acts of the film fails to resolve in any way. The soundtrack is utilized to say, “Hey, there’s something scary about to happen,” and then something only mildly untoward occurs 20 minutes later. Before that, you have to wait through pseudo-religious exposition and puritanical farming techniques. This film

really reached for the stars, and it’s hard to chastise the filmmakers, who so carefully constructed a visually striking and well-researched project. But films at their core are meant to tell a story—meant to connect with the audience—and in the context of a horror film, scare the hell out of them. The Witch does none of these things. (Ben Kendall) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 90 min.

DEADPOOL

When two major studios announced they were working on a Deadpool feature film, it was hard to imagine how 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios were going to accomplish bringing a lesser-known cult-status character into motion picture territory. How could they possibly create a film with a lead who frequently breaks the fourth wall, who may be aware that he’s a fictional person (possibly pan-sexual), and whose wisecracking has the same lowbrow comedic resonance as it does in the comic series?

Against all odds, it seems that this herculean task of mainstream cinema was completed marginally well, especially considering the current precedent regarding the glut of the nostalgia-driven licensing nightmares the US studio system is fond of churning out these days.

It’s important to touch upon the meta aspects of this character, since in a way, that’s the whole basis of his motivations.

MOVIES

meh Thomasin truly hopes she gets further work as an actor in The Witch. most all the film’s characters at the thin plot, the movie is a snide and sophomoric attempt at the superhero genre. But for some reason, that’s its charm. It’s as if a couple of young guys who loved comics wrote a movie starring one of their favorite characters, and the studio, somehow being cognizant of the source material and target audience, just let it all happen. The opening credits even lampoon the Hollywood system, declaring that it was directed by “an overpaid tool” and produced by “asshats.” Bundle up, because it might just be a cold day in hell.

A former Special Forces soldier, Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), is a leg-breaker for hire who contracts cancer after falling in love with the classic “hooker with a heart of gold.”

He is offered a way out: undergo extreme stress combined with chemical cajoling to activate dormant mutant genes in his DNA and, hopefully, evade cancer and death. All is not as it seems, and when the transformation occurs, everything goes south. Ed Skrein turns in a functional performance as Ajax, a British villain. And hey, there’s MMA fighter Gina Carano as the evil super-muscle, Angel Dust. End of plot explanation.

It’s not really all that important, and it seems like everyone knows it. There’s even a line in the film that goes something like, “You should talk to that guy. It may deepen the plot.”

The ultra-violence wasn’t distasteful, since it was so over the top and typically used as a comedic device. It hits home, somehow. This movie is sort of a miracle-mile in filmmaking.

It shouldn’t work—it shouldn’t be entertaining, but it is. It’s dumb fun, with an ironic patina of intelligence that quickly wears away after mere moments.

Deadpool, much like your socially inappropriate and yet (against your better judgment) still hilarious uncle, isn’t for everybody. If you’re a guy 18-35, you may like it. If you like meta satire on the Hollywood system, comic book movies, pop culture and ham-handed witticisms, it might just be for you. It’s chock full of full-frontal nudity for both genders, F-bombs and dismemberment, with a surface level of snappy dialogue that’s reminiscent of Kevin Smith’s Jersey Trilogy (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy). If that’s your cup of tea, then go for it. (BK) Regal, R, 108 min.

KUNG FU PANDA 3

The CGI animated film has practically become old hat at this point, with countless productions from Pixar, DreamWorks, Fox, etc. over the years and no shortage of vehicles looming on the horizon. No one is complaining per se, but it does become harder to tell them apart or even care after the bazillionth movie that looks into the un-

seen lives of animals or sickeningly cute children or yet another anthropomorphized paean to genres that kids these days (oh, kids these days) surely know nothing about. Case in point: Kung Fu Panda 3, another unnecessary installment in the long-running tale of Po (voice of Jack Black), a silly man-child of a panda who was orphaned as a cub and left to believe he’s the last of his kind before learning that, despite his inability to grow up, he was actually the fabled dragon warrior all along—a kung fu master prophesied to be the great protector of the people.

When last we heard from Po and his pals, they’d defeated the vile peacock Shen, and everything was gonna be great forever. Not so, because while everyone was busy celebrating and eating dumplings and being best friends, some seriously crazy business was going down in the spirit world. Turns out that Master Oogway, who’s a turtle and the guy who told Po he was the dragon warrior, has been locked in a 500-year battle with a former comrade named Kai (JK Simmons) who is, like, a wildebeest or something.

Po’s antics grow tiresome the more we follow them—even for kids, believe me—and the background players have zero presence or point beyond the advancement of Po’s journey. For example, Kate Hudson (who seems to be trying her best to emulate Amy Schumer), as the ribbondancing Mei Mei, is so boring and pointless that had the character not existed, it wouldn’t have mattered at all. Of course, the entire film is rendered so beautifully and in such stunning detail that its shortcomings are basically canceled out in a haze of lovingly crafted kung fu glory, and we’re left with a perfectly fine way to kill 90-ish minutes. Take your kids, I guess, but don’t expect anything you haven’t already seen about 1,000 times by now. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal, PG, 95 min.

THE REVENANT

Whereas there are any number of standout western films that occupy the pantheon of filmmaking, there has been an almost unnoticeable resurgence in postmodern, cerebral storytelling within the genre over the past two decades.

Films like Unforgiven, True Grit or even Ravenous took the stripped-down good guy rides horse to the showdown with bad guy trope and replaced it with concepts like obsession, racism, revenge, murder and intrigue that play out in the untapped frontier of a burgeoning nation in fascinating ways.

Director Alejandro González Iñárritu—the man behind 2014’s brilliant Birdman—tackles these ideas in the new Leonardo DiCaprio-driven western, The Revenant. Set in 1800-something,

MOVIES

ok Hoo! Ha! Karate! And late model luxury automobiles in Deadpool.

DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, a homesteader/survivalist type who, in an American melting pot of violence and tense race relations, lives between conflicting planes of existence. We know little of Glass’ past other than he fathered a son with a Native American woman who was killed during the war. This death continues to haunt Glass some years later.

Based on true events (Glass really did exist, y’all), the men must contend with the elements as well as a pursuing sortie of Native warriors hellbent on finding the kidnapped daughter of their leader. During the expedition, Glass is brutally mauled by a grizzly bear and ultimately left for dead by the villain of the piece, John Fitzgerald, a gutless wonder of self-absorption and greed who also murders Glass’s son right before him.

It is intense, a twisted sort of love letter to a father’s love for his son. The constant solitude and indifference found in the vast unsettled expanses are crushing, and cinematographer Emmanuel

Lubezki (Gravity, Children of Men) captures the bleak cold and hopelessness in such stunning detail that one can almost feel the frozen expanses looming ever closer; the closing darkness suffocating; the brisk winds clawing from all sides; the perils that lurk behind every tree and over every distant hill.

DiCaprio gives the performance of his career as a man who rarely speaks but can still convey more than his fair share of hurt. Even in something as simple as the vocalization of pain, he conveys a labored sense of life to which he clings only to achieve his goal.

The Revenant takes its time and forces us to confront its violence in almost uncomfortable ways, but this is actually refreshing. Every last moment is riveting, and as far as the po-mo western is concerned, it sets a new standard in terms of the assumption that audiences can be intelligent and truly savor a slow burn.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of February 24th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Just one species has a big enough throat to swallow a person whole: the sperm whale. If you happen to be sailing the high seas any time soon, I hope you will studiously avoid getting thrown overboard in the vicinity of one of these beasts. The odds are higher than usual that you’d end up in its belly, much like the Biblical character Jonah. (Although, like him, I bet you’d ultimately escape.) Furthermore, Aries, I hope you will be cautious not to get swallowed up by anything else. It’s true that the coming weeks will be a good time to go on a retreat, to flee from the grind and take a break from the usual frenzy. But the best way to do that is to consciously choose the right circumstances rather than leave it to chance.

times the mix includes artificial stuff. No worries, Libra! I am confident that you have the imaginative chutzpah and resilient willpower necessary to turn the mishmash into passable nourishment. Or here’s another alternative: You could procrastinate for two weeks, when more of the available resources will be natural.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your Mythic Metaphor for the coming weeks is dew. Many cultures have regarded it as a symbol of life-giving grace. In Kabbalah, divine dew seeps from the Tree of Life.

A bit shy at first and tends to hide in a new environment; she needs a home with a gentle person who has patience and tenderness to give to this sweet girl. She will sometimes hiss when approached, but with a gentle touch she will purr, her eyes will close and she will be loving the affection. MISSONI loves to sleep under the bed with the other cats and dogs in her foster home.

She would be fine in a home with other mellow cats and/or gentle dogs, though she would be happiest in a home without small children. Born: 2006
