Brian Vallo is right. The only thing we can do to protest Nabokov’s cultural rip-off is to not buy his book. I taught at Laguna-Acoma High School from 1981 to 1985. My role as a Swedish-American English teacher was to respect the culture of my students while trying to ... teach writing, literature, and the stuff all parents expect of a school—giving their children an opportunity to go out into the world and understand how to operate.

Pueblo elders were very clear with those who were outsiders: “We will let you know when you are invited to join us, but there are also sacred ceremonies where we ask you not to intrude. We do this to preserve our culture, because we were violated by a wave of American anthropologists in the early 20th century who took advantage of us.”

Nabokov opens an old wound. It is unconscionable. Do not buy this book.

WHO DUNNIT?

An Ounce of Prevention

BY AND R E A L M AYS

A

t the outset, let me say that I make no excuses for those who engage in criminal behavior.

If you break the law, particularly if it is knowingly done, you should expect to assume the consequences. No exceptions, be you the secretary of state, law enforcement personnel or a petty criminal who accidentally kills someone in a drug-related robbery.

But we know (or should) that not everyone is held equally accountable for the consequences of their illegal behavior. Justice is neither blind nor fairly distributed. The price tag attached to one’s lawyer, and often political connections, count in the price that a felon pays. Just as race, class, economic status, fame and education can shape the fates of felons.

So when I read a number of news stories about New Mexico legislators pre-filing more than a dozen crime bills for this year’s short legislative session, it triggered my BS detector.

Recent high-profile crimes (the murders of Lilly Garcia and Officer Daniel Webster, for example) and the general increase in crime throughout the state signal that we are facing serious challenges at every level of New Mexico society. But this is not new.

Back in 2012, Gov. Susana Martinez signed an executive order to establish a task force on criminal recidivism reduction. The goal was to study and assess issues “to include, but not limited to the areas of education, work, substance abuse, mental health, reform of pro-criminal values.” Where is the policy to support the findings? Where are the findings? The governor’s office has not responded to my request for the status of this report.

So why are our legislators compelled to act urgently now at our long-rising crime rate? Most importantly, why are their responses almost exclusively punitive? The obvious answer is that the November election season looms large, and all the legislative seats are up for re-election. Appearing tough on crime polls well and tugs at donors’ wallets.

Propelled by what they say is the worthy cause of public safety, our officials have strategically deployed the phrases “repeat offender,” “recidivism,” “tougher sentencing” and most colorfully, “boomerang thug” to justify

more and longer incarceration. Three strikes reasoning has arrived in New Mexico, folks. Never mind that it’s being abandoned and reversed elsewhere.

This is an out-of-touch response.

It also flies in the face of existing evidence about recidivism and successful criminal reform. The proliferation of jails during the last three decade has not slowed the growing crime rate nationwide. Why should it slow crime in New Mexico?

The pieces missing from this morepunishment approach to crime reform are fact-based analyses of the causes that propel people to commit crime.

Absent of sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies, the reasons for crime are banal. The causes can usually be tied to bleak economic and social conditions, desperation and despair.

And those who’ve benefited most from longer incarcerations and tougher sentencing are those with financial and political investments in privatized prisons and the prison industrial complex. For more on this, read Ruth Wilson Gilmore’s Golden Gulag (2007, UC Press).

Here’s the Thing: It is difficult to value anyone else’s life and future if you have no faith in your own. In lieu of real reform, politicians embrace the policies of punishment. Why? Because punishment is easier to say, and do, than confronting the reality of securing preventative measures.

I am no stranger to the perils of unchecked crime. My younger brother was senselessly murdered on the streets of my hometown. One of my dearest uncles died in police custody.

At this very moment, I have friends and relatives on multiple sides of law enforcement: police officers, inmates and attorneys.

Punishment won’t fix my grief or bring back my loved ones. But I’d feel better if I knew other young people weren’t doomed to suffer similar fates because of the lack of commitment and investment in proven solutions to criminal activity that snatched them from me.

Hope Floats Santa Fe weighs in on the presidential race while Gary Johnson bolsters hope in repeat attempt for the White House

BY TH O M A S RAG A N to m @ s fre p o r te r.co m

THOMAS RAGAN

ith the Iowa caucuses behind us and New Hampshire next up with the country’s first presidential primary of 2016, the race is on to determine the top-of-the-ticket nominees for the Republican and Democratic parties, with Ted Cruz as an early victor and Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in a virtual tie that can’t help but evoke images of hanging chads.

Unless the races are as close they were on Monday night in the Hawkeye state, New Mexico, with only five electoral votes, rarely plays a pivotal role in the presidential primaries—mostly because it’s late in the game and one of the last six states in the country to hold primaries in June.

But in November’s presidential election, the Land of Enchantment is a politically viable border state that’s not to be discounted with its high concentration of Hispanics, a voting bloc that always proves persuasive on the national scene.

And if there were ever a politician who consistently puts New Mexico on the national political radar, it’s our former Gov. Gary Johnson, who announced another bid to run for president on the Libertarian Party ticket in early January, with the party’s convention set for Orlando, Fla., over Memorial Day weekend.

8

Earlier this week, in what’s turning into a fouryear refrain, Johnson criticized the country’s presidential nomination process for beginning in a pair of tiny states like Iowa and New Hampshire, both of which have historically set the stage for the first rounds in Nevada and South Carolina before rushing headlong into Super Tuesday primaries on March 1, when hundreds of thousands of residents in 14 states will cast their votes.

“The candidates from both parties? They woo the far right or the far left, and before you know it, we’ve got these extremes that aren’t reflective of the American people,” the 63-year-old Johnson tells SFR from his home in Taos. “I just can’t believe that the American people are going to elect someone who wants to build a fence and deport 11 million immigrants, or that they’re seriously going to vote for a selfavowed socialist.”

He was talking, of course, about Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, although any number of GOP candidates, with repeated promises to tighten border security by building a massive wall, could easily qualify, something Johnson says “is one of the whackiest things I’ve ever heard.”

“Having been there in Iowa and New Hampshire, running as a Republican, there are about 30 percent of Republicans in those states who believe that the scourge of the earth has to to do with Mexican immigration,” he says. “It’s just a made up issue, that they’re coming up here and they’re siphoning off the welfare system, that there’s a reason that America is not as Farinesha Bustos, at left, and Jessica Brewery both say they are “feeling the Bern.” great as it used to be, and I was the one saying it wasn’t

true, and that’s what the primary system perpetuates. It’s not grounded in reality, but it sets the pace.”

Johnson predicts that Clinton and Trump will eventually prevail as the the party nominees, saying: “I just don’t see Bernie Sanders going all the way.”

“But who knows?” he adds. “I could be wrong. I certainly never thought that Trump would be the Republican front-runner, either.”

As voters wait for Trump’s next move, and as Cruz quotes the Bible, owing his victory to God first and Iowan voters second, and as Florida’s Marco Rubio sees his third place finish as a win for the traditional GOP establishment set, this much is certain: Neither state is a notable predictor of future presidents, but that doesn’t stop politicians from saying what they think Iowans want to hear, adjusting their positions slightly as the primaries go on and candidates face a different set of populaces.

“It’s hypocritical,” says Johnson.

Which is where the Libertarian Party comes into play, with Johnson just one among dozens of contenders now vying for the nation’s top job, its symbol of the porcupine, its needles poking out, reminding voters that there is an alternative to the donkey and the elephant, its key principle that government should stop interfering in the lives of everyday people and quit regulating and taxing them.

“People say that I’m tilting at windmills, but I could go from tilting windmills to center stage if I become the Libertarian nominee,” says Johnson, who served as New Mexico’s governor as a Republican between 1995 and 2003 and ran for president on the Libertarian ticket in 2012, garnering 1.2 million votes, the most in the history of any Libertarian candidate in terms of raw numbers.

In New Mexico during his tenure as governor, he was instrumental in bringing casinos and medical marijuana to the state, but he was mostly known for his anti-tax policies and his unusual combination of fiscal conservatism and social liberalism, not to mention the hundreds of times he brought out his veto pen.

But for now, plenty of Santa Feans, or at least those registered with major parties who plan to exercise their civic duties at the ballot boxes at the “closed primaries” come June, are just as focused on the top contenders as the rest of the nation.

And to that end, a quick survey of locals finds that Sanders appears to be leading the pack.

“Times are changing, and America is changing, and it’s for the worse. But you can bet if we elect Bernie, it’s going to be for the better,” says Molly Smollett, who’s in her 60s and says she’s long tired of the corporate interests and their deep pockets and the

influence they wield in Congress and the presidency, something Sanders has traditionally decried.

Yet from SFR’s impromptu survey, an obvious pattern emerged: Clinton was loathed for her lack of authenticity, Sanders was revered for being real, and if it came down to Trump versus Clinton in the general election, many say they’d rather have the billionaire businessman as POTUS than the former secretary of state.

Frank Serrano, long a Democrat in a city of Democrats, is among them.

Although he’s pulling for Sanders, “because the guy talks from the heart,” Serrano says he’d vote for Trump “in a heartbeat,” if it came down to that choice.

“At least Trump funds his own campaign,” says Serrano, a former city employee who’s now retired. “Sometimes you’ve just got to trust people and give them a chance and hope they’ll do better than the last president who was in office.”

Trust in Trump is the furthest thing on the mind of Zack Daood, who was born in Taos and spent 18 years in Jakarta, Indonesia.

“I’d be afraid because my background is Muslim,” says Daood, who vows that Sanders will be his first choice.

“I’m not afraid of people looking into my background, and I’ve got nothing to hide, but I don’t think we want a president who would single out a single group of people.”

When asked who he’s voting for, Bodie Swann, 63, a construction worker, didn’t answer the question right away but said, “Heaven forbid if Trump or Ted Cruz gets elected.”

Then, after further pressing, Swann said he’s supporting Sanders but is convinced Clinton is going to win, because that’s “just the way the political system in the United States is rigged.”

“She’s got the name, the money and the corporate backing,” he says.

Rick Ulibarri, a construction worker, opines the opposite: Sanders will win, but he’d rather see Clinton take it.

“I think she has more experience than her husband when he was president,” Ulibarri says, in what becomes a joke: “I think she was running the show because he was too busy with all the women.”

Phil Montano, who works at the front desk at the Ft. Marcy Recreational Complex, says it’s either Sanders or Johnson, but no way, no how that he’s voting for Clinton.

“We’ve had enough Bushes and

Clintons in this country,” Montano says.

Up on Canyon Road at the Tea House, at least a pair of employees were “feeling the Bern” for Sanders.

Farinesha Bustos and Jessica Brewery represent what pundits say are droves of millennials with like minds.

“He’s consistent, has a lot of integrity and shares a lot of the ethical and moral beliefs that I do,” says Brewery, adding that Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, while Sanders stuck to his guns from the beginning, voting against it, never wavering.

Says Bustos, “Clinton is your typical politician. She flip-flops on everything.”

Still, there were a few customers who, when asked for their opinions, said they felt disenfranchised with the entire political system and didn’t plan on voting for anyone.

“I haven’t voted since the days of the hanging chads,” says one, referring to the 2000 election that came down to the wire in Florida, in which Bush was ultimately elected over Al Gore.

Outside the Tea House, however, and far away from the caffeine-drinking, chattering crowd, sat David Vigil.

He’s a Native American artist and pianist who considers himself Hispanic as well.

While he’s leaning toward Bernie, it’s safe to say Vigil ranks among the disenchanted.

“In the end, Mother Nature wins,” says the 67-year-old Vigil, who added, “There’s such a thing as gravity. Look, when I jump, something brings me back to the ground. No politician is going to stop the earth from revolving around the sun, and no matter who is president, we still have to pay our bills, and nobody is really going to help us out.”

BRIEFS NM Leans toward Legalization Nearly 70 percent of New Mexicans have no problem with legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes, a considerable spike in approval from more than two years ago, according to a survey touted by a pair of Democratic legislators who are trying to legalize weed in the state and make money off it.

Last week at the Roundhouse, State Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, and House Rep. Bill McCamley, D-Mesilla Park, unveiled the poll in which 69 percent of respondents were in favor of making pot legal, a significant jump from the 52 percent approval rate in a similar poll in 2013.

Albuquerque-based Research and Polling Inc. conducted the survey over a five-day span in January by strategically placing more than 400 phone calls to adults who live across the state.

McCamley says he is hoping that his House Bill 75 will pass both chambers and eventually become law, making New Mexico the fifth state in the coun-

try to make the plant legal for adult consumption. His colleague, Ortiz y Pino, hopes to put the issue before the voters in November’s general election.

Legislators say between $20 million and $60 million in tax revenues would be generated annually from legalizing cannabis, which is one of the fastestgrowing industries in America.

On Tuesday, another new survey showed that marijuana sales increased by 30 percent annually across the country, accounting for $5.4 billion in sales in 2015, according to New Frontier Financial’s latest edition of The State of Legal Marijuana Markets.

Each year, New Mexico legislators raise the issue of legalization and taxation, arguing that it’s time to find another funding source to pay for education and law enforcement in the state.

Livin’ on the Railyard People who already live near the Santa Fe Railyard and people who want to live there are invited to the first public meeting about a proposed apartment complex on the city property, but details about the project are slow in coming.

What we do know is that a Dallas developer named Peter Arberg has been talking to the Railyard’s nonprofit property managers for more than two years. Richard Czoski, executive director of the Santa Fe Railyard Community Corp., tells SFR there’s a meeting planned between some of his staff and Arberg’s architect to finalize the number of units on the table as well as other details about the project at least a week before the city-mandated Early Neighborhood Notification meeting at 5:30 pm Thursday, Feb. 11, at Warehouse 21.

The space slated for the apartment building is a parcel that was formerly leased by Don Wiviott, who built a live/work condominium build-

ing nearby and then ran into financial troubles. The new project, dubbed Railyard Flats, could be as high as 34 feet, according to a sign advertising the meeting.

Meanwhile, the owners of the Market Station building that houses REI, city offices and other retail space are due in court later this week on their bankruptcy filing, leaving its future— and the empty spot that used to be Flying Star—somewhat in the air. Just one parcel remains for lease on the Railyard property; a new restaurant and retail building near the Bon Marché store are supposed to break ground this spring, according to Czoski.

Build a Better Bicycle Program Bike share program resurfaces, but concerns about equity in access remain

BY EL IZABE TH M I LLE R el i zab eth @ s fre p o r te r.co m

C

ounty Commissioner Miguel Chavez held up his flip phone, which he does not use to send or receive text messages, during the latest Metropolitan Planning Organization board meeting. He asked if his “kind of antiquated” device could be used to rent a bike through a bike share program. The answer is no.

“If you’re not hooked up to the technology, and you can’t text or enter information into a box, then you can’t access the system?” Chavez asked in response to the proposal to launch a just such a program in Santa Fe this summer that would allow riders to rent bikes by the hour.

“Correct,” said Erick Aune, MPO planner. No smartphone, text messages or credit cards means no bikes.

That barrier is expected to hit hardest for the city’s poorest people, those most in need of affordable transportation options. That’s why Chainbreaker Collective, an nonprofit that has dedicated thousands of hours to training bike mechanics in Santa Fe, has come out against the proposal, which recently saw support from the Bicycle and Trails Advisory Committee.

The inherent issues stem from the logistics of access. The system excludes those unable to get an ID, afford a smartphone or hold a bank account, so it will be largely unavailable to the city’s poor and homeless.

AS THE CITY HEADS INTO BUDGET TALKS TO ADDRESS A DEFICIT, NO ONE WANTS TO MAKE CUTS OR INCREASE TAXES

SFREPORTER.COM

o one wants to be the first to make a cut aimed at bringing the city budget into balance, but the reality is that with an estimated $15 million budget shortfall, someone will have to get the scalpel out.

“Everybody wants more from the city—everybody wants more, more programs, more money for the programs that exist, and it’s easier to say yes to those than it is to say no, because nobody is throwing a fit about spending money,” says former city councilor Karen Heldmeyer. “But they will get upset about cuts. And even cuts that are rational, somebody will get upset about.”

The budget is the single most important policy document for the city, Heldmeyer added, referencing a comment she heard from former Gallup city manager.

“Whether you have a lot of money, whether you don’t have enough, the decisions that you make in the budget are a reflection of the policies that the city is following,” she says.

But none of the elected members of the Santa Fe City Council or high-earning city administrators seem ready to reconcile the checkbook.

Can they decide exactly what the priorities are for the city and how budget reform will reflect them? And how will they respond to the inevitable backlash from those who feel their programs, whether they’re truly essential city services or not, are facing the guillotine?

HOW DID WE GET HERE? The model upon which the city budget is built—with 70 percent of revenues for the general fund generated by gross receipts tax, and less than 10 percent from property taxes—worked during the economic boom times of the 1980s, ’90s and early ’00s. The economy was up, and tourism and construction up alongside it. But the recession of 2008 changed the local economy, then the city lost revenue after the state got rid of its food tax, and a majority of the workforce is now living outside the city because prices are so steep here.

All that has affected what’s coming into the local government’s coffer.

When the recession hit, tourism slowed, building ceased and the bottom dropped out of gross receipts tax revenue from hotels, restaurants, arts, entertainment, recreation, professional and business services, and retailers. Per state order, food and

workforce lives outside your city, they’re spending their money somewhere else,” Mayor Javier Gonzales said at a listening session on the budget in December. “We built the city to work based on the idea people lived and worked here.”

Yet there’s more to the equation than that.

Despite decreased revenue, the city has continued to increase spending each year. Now, the general fund operating budget revenues come in around $65 million, while running the city government costs $80 million.

For years, the city has patched the gaps with various measures—dipping heavily into cash reserves and raiding enterprise funds that accumulate extra money, as they did this year with the water fund. But as they burn through options, the cash used to cover the shortfall could soon run dry and the city find itself unable to cover its

medicine are exempt from the gross receipts tax, and for years, the state Legislature tried to fill back in the hole that decision blew in many city and county budgets—to “hold them harmless”—but in 2013, faced with their own budget squeeze, the state reversed that choice and is now beginning to wean municipalities off that funding supply.

What growth has returned since the recession is in areas for which the city doesn’t collect much—government, real estate, health and social services.

So while revenues have stopped dropping, they haven’t rebounded to prerecession levels, either.

The fact that only about half of Santa Fe’s workforce can still afford to live in Santa Fe also contributes to the problem of gross receipts tax flow.

With the median household income in Santa Fe County listed at $52,917, according to the 2013 numbers from the US Census, and the median home valued at $278,400, many families are simply priced out.

“If more than 40 percent of your

The mayor has struggled with how to prioritize the budget and target “efficiencies” in ways the public will support—do we cut some of the $4.5 million budget for Genoveva Chavez Community Center, or reduce the number of parks or recreation centers or senior centers?

“There’s not a single area that’s safe from looking at cutting costs,” Gonzales told SFR in October. “There shouldn’t be any sacred cows when you’re trying to overcome a $15 million deficit.”

While there’s some urgency, no one wants to characterize this as a crisis.

Gonzales says he plans to lay out a three-year strategy of matching revenues to expenditures, rather than attempting to bring the whole budget in line in a single year.

ity officials have to make choices about closing a $15 million budget gap by making cuts or adding revenue or both. The list of budget allocations is more than 200 pages long and its items varied. We’ve mapped out some of the line items to give a sense of scope of the problem—the entire general fund allocation for the fire department, for example, is $14.6 million, just a couple million short of the city deficit—and some examples of where the city’s money goes.

SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE for balancing the budget: increasing efficiencies, finding new ways to deliver services (that presumably cost less), reducing services, increasing revenues through a gross receipts or property tax increase, and stimulating economic growth by drawing additional businesses and jobs to the area.

The mayor’s office rolled out a series of economic stimulus efforts in December, from throwing $50,000 at a film commission that could theoretically increase Santa Fe’s share from 20 percent of the film jobs in the state to launching high-speed Internet at a proposed small business incubator in the Railyard.

In January, a Chamber of Commerce ad hoc committee of business and community leaders submitted more than 40 recommendations to City Council, beginning with urging the city not to consider raising taxes until “excessive expenses” have been examined that could otherwise fuel a “cascade of growing issues into the future.”

The ad hoc committee’s report argues that payroll and expenses are disproportionate to the city’s size, and that while revenue has declined, there’s been no corresponding change to city payroll.

In a comparison report with other similarly sized cities, the chamber calculates that Santa Fe’ ratio of full-time employees is 164 percent above the average of 12 other cities. Ideal staffing levels, their analysis suggests, could lead to a reduction of 578 positions.

The chamber advised limiting overtime, taking volunteers for reduced-hour work weeks, forcing unpaid vacation days, instituting a hiring freeze and City Councilor Carmichael Dominguez, at left, has the difficult job of chairing the Finance Committee. reducing contributions to employee retirement accounts and health care coverage. The city might also examine its office space for consolidation, and now margin and could save $2 million to $3 million a year.

THIS CRYSTAL REPRESENTS ART Crystals form as water phases into ice, and the abstract substrate becomes a material object. This idea drives Radical Abacus’ newest exhibit, Raylets, a collection of contemporary art from local and national artists that opens this Friday. Santa Fean Lucrecia Troncoso describes the creation of her ceramic pieces (right) as a similar process, creating form and function out of the formless.

“It is exciting to contribute to a more dynamic art scene here in Santa Fe,” Troncoso says, and it’s true: The loose theme and open dialog between artists that Raylets embodies is but another milestone in the growth of the contemporary scene.

Everybody loves the guitar. Be they longtime player, newly initiated or just a fan, it is arguably the most universally adored and played instrument on earth, and its history is both ancient and fascinating. As such, the upcoming exhibit at the New Mexico Museum of Art, Medieval to Metal: The Art and Evolution of the Guitar, should appeal to pretty much anyone who likes music by exploring the craftsmanship and aesthetics alongside the storied history of everyone’s favorite stringed beast.

“The guitar has three things going for it that no other instrument has,” HP Newquist, executive director of the National Guitar Museum, tells SFR. “Musicians can play it and sing along at the same time, it’s highly portable and it has to be held close to the body in order to play—which means its music literally vibrates through your chest and arms … add electricity and pop music to the mix, and more guitars are sold every year than all the other instruments combined.”

For the exhibit, 40 guitars from the National Guitar Museum spanning the centuries will be on display. You can see anything from a Medieval-

World Records Stepbridge Studios make way for Jono Manson’s Kitchen Sink Studios

BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex

B

ack in September, we announced that local musician/jack-of-all-musical-trades Jono Manson and his business partner, audio engineer Tim Schmoyer, would take over local recording studio Stepbridge Studios and transform it into a glorious new version of Manson’s longtime Chupadero recording business, The Kitchen Sink Studio. In October, Manson took over, and by November, he was plugging along with a reinvigorated sense of purpose and a whole mess of improvements to the already stellar equipment boasted by the former Stepbridge.

“We’ve completely rewired every inch of cable, and every solder joint on every panel has been redone,” Manson says. “You can have a million dollars worth of stuff, but if a jack you need to plug into is broken, then it shows.”

Manson migrated most of his own equipment to his new space and added a custom-built mixing board from UK sound geniuses Audien, serviced vintage analog tape machines and performed some minimal cosmetic remodeling, and it all boils down to this: The Kitchen Sink just might be the local studio to beat in terms of quality. Stepbridge always was a cut above in terms of quality and output, but Manson’s 35+ years of experience from every damn conceivable angle of the game—from performance and recording to production and engineering—lends even more credibility to his space.

“Part of it was getting the gear in great shape and having or buying the right gear, but—and I really don’t want to sound too new-agey here—a lot of it is in the energy,” Manson says. “This is a large studio building that was built from the ground up for great sound, and maybe that can be a little intimidating to some people, but I’ve done my best to keep the relaxed, disarming nature or, for lack of a better word, down-home nature of my old place, just in a more professional environment.”

If you think this recording studio looks complicated, you should see the bathroom.

What he’s referring to here, in case you didn’t know, was in how his former space was the amalgamation of years spent cobbling together a serviceable studio. This isn’t to say that Manson didn’t always record killer records, but rather that he did the best he could with the space he was afforded. In his new space, however, audio recording is always the focus.

He is working more than ever and able to do so in smarter ways that absolutely take advantage of his past experience producing quality sounds with a less sophisticated recording space. Which is good, not only for him but for music fans.

You probably know Manson’s work already, from bigger albums with Blues Traveler’s John Popper to things on a more local level, like an upcoming release from nonprofit LifeSongs or singer-songwriter David Berkeley’s brand-new Cardboard Boat (which was just reviewed in these pages, like, a week ago). Anyway, he’s keepin’ it going with any artist who knows to look for him regardless of genre, be it bluegrass players from Albuquerque, singer-songwriters from right-the-hell here like Kito Peters or a project with singer-songwriter/former Dresden Doll Amanda Palmer that he describes as “top secret.”

“I’m working with local and regional people as well as international acts,” Manson says. “I’m heading to Wales for a week to do some recording, for example, and I’m just staying busy with all manner of projects, which seems to have caused a good amount of excitement in the community, because this room is happening again, and I finally have all the tools at my disposal that I need to be doing my best work.”

Of course, I mention this to everyone because it’s exciting to have a next-level professional studio around here, especially since Manson points out he’s excited and hopeful to collaborate with some of the others because, “I always learn a lot when I work with other local producers.” What a guy. Seriously. Anyway, should you be looking to make a fantastic record with a man who knows what the hell he’s doing, find Jono Manson and thank me later.

here’s been plenty of hoopla over Shakespeare’s First Folio exhibit opening at the Santa Fe Museum of Art this Friday at 5:30 pm. To be clear, it’s a book. An old book. It’s not bound in human flesh or scrawled with Sumerian funerary incantations (at least, not that we know of ).

But the folio is a work of art that demands examination. Two questions spring up in the average person when confronted with this remarkable and controversial piece of human history: “Who cares?” and “Why does it matter?”

The last exposure many people had to Shakespeare, aside from trite Hollywood adaptations, was probably the sanitized, lifeless hammering doled out by the unfortunate soul drawing a pittance salary in your old high school lit class. The story behind the folio is one of love, craftsmanship, obsession, money, theft and, in one case, even suicide.

The folio (a large volume, the form factor of which was typically reserved for Bibles) is essentially a col-

R Caunnupa Hanska Luger is ready for the spectacle of Render Bender.

ender Bender, at the Center for Contemporary Arts on Saturday, Feb. 6, brings together 50 artists who will have one hour to create unique drawings. Upon completion, audience members have the opportunity to bid on the work, silent auction style, and all proceeds benefit the indomitable CCA. Artists like Susan Begy, Abby Mattison, Tim Jag, Marti Mills and so many more are out to render it up, and the whole shebang is hosted by iconic local arts maven, Linda Durham.

“I haven’t drawn much lately, but I like to do it,” local artist Cannupa Hanska Luger says. “I’m probably going to do as many pieces as I can within that hour, and I’m thinking two-handed portrait drawings; since we’re doing this in public, there’s that spectacle to the way you’re drawing.”

Much Ado about Some …

Thing

lection of Shakespeare’s plays, commissioned and printed seven years after his death in 1616. In a time when books were still largely only possessed by the elite, two of his pals (John Heminge and Henry Condell) assembled the work, including 18 plays that had not appeared in print before (such as The Tempest and Macbeth), and an estimated 750 were published, though only 233 exist today. The largest hoard of these books is possessed by the Folger Shakespeare Library, one of which is coming to Santa Fe, set for a display under glass and opened to the “to be or not to be” soliloquy of Hamlet.

“What looks mediocre, if not less than mediocre in terms of what we consider to be good printing today, is also one of the most valuable books in the world,” says Tom Leech, director of the Palace Press at the Palace of the Governors. “It was a first in many ways.

It was the first time that plays had been compiled in one book … it was an expensive undertaking. It says something about how people valued those words.”

So valuable, in fact, that in 2006, Sotheby’s auctioned one off for $5 million. Or how about this: In 1998, a copy of the First Folio went missing from Durham University in England and somehow ended up in the possession of an art dealer, who was acquitted of the theft but convicted of handling stolen property 10 years later. He died by his own hand in prison in 2012.

First Folio scholarship isn’t just important because it’s a status symbol for the rich and famous. These plays are corpulent with low-brow jokes, but their bawdiness can remain cloaked under its archaic language. “It’s important as an actor—you have to be specific. Shakespeare’s exciting because he’s ambiguous,” says Jerry Ferraccio, founder of the Santa Fe Shakespeare Society. “You need to know how people lived, what they thought was dirty, what they thought was clean, and you read this whole thing [in Comedy of Errors, Adriana talking about her husband] is about urine! I thought this was about a trap. I looked up the wrong version of ‘stale.’ Wow. It’s not cleaned and sensitized, it’s not a petit fois. It’s vigorous.”

The First Folio may at first seem to be a dry throwback to the languid times of our compulsory education, but the meat of Shakespeare’s words are formed from the sinews of our darker emotions. “I think in the exploration of reading it, certainly, but more doing it, you can be in touch with an emotional depth that we’re not currently allowed in society but at which humans want to participate,” says Ferraccio.

Luger, a graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts, is perhaps better known for sculptures with a socially conscious message, but live creation isn’t new to him, since he used to participate in live painting sessions with arts collective Humble.

“It’s a great way to recognize that you aren’t that good,” he jokes. “It’s good for artists to shift out of the studio because it’s an island; you’re king and no one challenges you, so it’s good from time to time to be knocked off your high horse.”

Illustrator Todd Ryan White looks at it similarly.

White, himself a graduate of Boston’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts, creates some of the most intricate and borderline-obsessive drawings that could be described as dark fantasy or, and use your imagination here, totally metal.

“I like making work that’s cosmic or vast and contains humor or skepticism under the surface, but can artists be performers through their drawings?”

White queries. “It’s about exploration, and I want to know what happens with my own work within these limitations.”

THE CALENDAR My husband and I (30s, M/F, two kids) found out our best friends of 20 years were secretly poly.

And we didn’t know! Well, we all fucked. Now our relationship/friendship is fucked, too. How do we move on from this mess?

A large crowd braved a snowstorm to come out to Savage Love Live at Boston’s Wilbur Theatre last week. Questions were submitted on index cards, which allowed questioners to remain anonymous and forced them to be succinct.

I got to as many of them as I could over two long, raucous, boozy hours. Here are some of the questions I didn’t have time for in Boston…

What do you think of poop play?

I think of it rarely.

How long should I keep my partner locked in male chastity?

Until Rick Santorum is president.

What exactly causes relationships to end?

Relationships end for all sorts of different reasons—boredom, neglect, contempt, betrayal, abuse—but all relationships that don’t end survive for the same reason: The people in them just keep not breaking up. Sometimes people in relationships that need to end never get around to breaking up.

I was in an open relationship once and was heartbroken in the end because my partner broke the rules we made. My current partner wants to make our monogamous relationship open, but I am hesitant because of my previous burn. How do I get over this and become comfortable with an open relationship again?

Rejecting nonmonogamy because your last nonmonogamous relationship failed makes about as much sense as rejecting monogamy because your last monogamous relationship failed. If people applied the same standard to closed relationships that they apply to open ones (“I was in one that failed so I can never enter into another one!”), most of us would’ve had two relationships in our lives—one open, one closed—and then either taken a vow of celibacy or pledged to stick to NSA sex for the rest of our lives.

Our choices are informed by our experience, of course, and you had a bad experience with an open relationship. Open relationships might not be for you. But it’s also possible that the problem with your last relationship wasn’t the openness but the partner.

Advice for happily child-free people in a babyand parent-worshipping world?

You could take comfort in your free time, your disposable income, and your vomit-free wardrobe. You could also see baby and parent worship for what it is: a desperate attempt on the part of the busy, broke, and vomit-spackled (and the people trying to sell stuff to us) to make ourselves feel better about the consequential and irrevocable choice we made to have kids.

Magnum condoms are just marketing, right?

Wrong—but you don’t have to take my word for it. Just spend 10 minutes on Tumblr and you’ll see for yourself.

I accidentally told my dad about your podcast when teaching him how to use iTunes. I called home a couple of weeks later, and Dad told me he’s been listening and Mom yells, “I’m not gonna pee on you!” L It could’ve been worse. Mom could’ve yelled: “We can’t talk right now! I’m peeing on your father!”

People who are poly say they want more love, sex, and joy in their lives—but some poly people seem want more chaos, drama, and hurt in their lives. Unless you know a couple well, or unless you’ve noticed the trail of destruction they’ve left in their wake, there’s just no way to tell what they’re really after until after you’ve slept with them. Anyway, how do you move on? You send a note, you apologize for your part in the chaos, drama, and hurt, and you express a desire to mend the friendship.

Hopefully you’ll hear from them.

What is the deal with a “blumkin”? Like, honestly, why? Why? WHY? They freak me out and confuse me.

Take it away, Urban Dictionary: “When a man is sitting on the toilet taking a shit and has his woman come in and give him head during the act of shitting.”

I’ve been writing this dumb sex-advice column for a long time, and while I’ve received a few questions like yours over the years (“What’s the deal with blumkins?!?”), I’ve never once received a question about an IRL blumkin session gone wrong. So blumkins aren’t for real, and they’re not really about sex. As you can see from the UD definition, it’s not about sex or kink, it’s about misogyny and implied violence, i.e., the man takes a shit and orders “his woman” to come in and give him head. Consensual degradation and power play can be hot, of course, but blumkins and donkey punching and dirty sanchezes—and the scared little boys who talk about them—are bullshit.

Sexist bullshit.

Like most gay men in their early 30s, I enjoy chatting and sending pics of my nether regions via dating apps. My conflict is that I am a public school teacher. While I believe I have a right to a sex life, what if someone I send a pic to disagrees? Do you think I should stop?

We need to pick a day for everyone on earth to intentionally release a pic of their nether regions online. It should be an annual holiday— just to get it over with and to prevent moralizing scolds from going after people whose pics go unintentionally astray. But schoolteachers have been fired for sexting. So… whether you stop or not depends on the degree of risk you’re comfortable with and the faith you have in the discretion of the folks you’re meeting on apps.

Why is the term “monogamy” and not “monoamory”?

Monogamy comes from the Greek “monos” for “single” and “gamos” for “marriage.” So the term literally means “one marriage” not “one love.” Since you can be monogamous without being married, and married without being monogamous, perhaps the term really should be “monoamory,” meaning “one love at a time, married or not.” But meaning follows usage, and an effort to get people to use monoamory would be just as futile as efforts to stop people from using polyamory because it mixes Greek (“poly”) and Latin (“amory”).

We’re both over 40, married 10 years. He wants a threesome, and I’m ambivalent. He says +1 girl, I say +1 boy. What do we do?

Upgrade to a foursome with +1 opposite-sex couple.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Wilbur! I had a blast!

New Mexico-made thriller Dead River is the directorial debut of Santa Fe filmmaker Jason DeBoer. College professor Grant Bingham (Morse Bicknell) is writing a biography about acclaimed crime novelist Luther Nash (Eb Lottimer) but soon finds something sinister written between the lines.

The show runs from Friday, Feb. 5, through Thursday, Feb. 11, at the Jean Cocteau Cinema (418 Montezuma Ave., 4665528). DeBoer will hold a Q&A after the opening weekend showings. (Brianna Stallings) Dead River plays out like an exhilarating crime novella.

How did you develop the narrative?

I wanted to create a film for readers. I tried to write characters and dialog that would ring true to that literary world. Since the film’s famous writer happens to be a crime author, I tried to do something a bit different and explore the links between violence and literature, fictional crime and reality, and why we as cultural consumers (readers, filmgoers) often idolize violent work, even though there is clearly a real cost to its prevalence.

Despite the undercurrent of mystery, this film has a direct, almost masculine feel to it. How did your own personal story contribute to the one you’re telling here?

A subplot of Dead River is how difficult it is for parents of young children to find energy to be creative and to pursue intellectual interests. I know this struggle well, although I can’t say I have any answers to accomplishing it! My wonderful wife, Monica, was nine months pregnant while we shot Dead River, so parenting concerns on screen and off added plenty of intensity to our finishing the film.

There’s a line in Dead River during an interview between professor Grant Bingham and author Luther Nash, where Nash says that in New Mexico, “words mean more here—because there’re less of ‘em.” Could you elaborate on that idea?

I think the stark, beautiful landscape of New Mexico probably permeates much of the art produced here, either directly or indirectly. We often hear about the unique light here and its effect on painting. What if our open expanses have a similar effect on freeing the written word?

Santa Fe Bite’s iconic burgers still live up to the hype

B Y R O B D e WA LT @ Th e Fo r k S a n t a Fe

W

hen Santa Fe Bite (inside Garrett’s Desert Inn, 311 Old Santa Fe Trail, 982-0544) opened in downtown Santa Fe in 2013, there was a collective sigh of relief—and some trepidation—for green chile cheeseburger lovers everywhere. Owned and operated by married duo John and Bonnie Eckre, who manned the business on Old Las Vegas Highway (as Bobcat Bite) for more than a decade before a landlord dispute forced them out, Santa Fe Bite had a lot riding on the relocation.

With a well-documented reputation for serving one of the best burgers in the nation (if not the world), the Bite’s new incarnation was making some big changes, such as greatly enlarging its seating capacity, offering an expanded menu, adding weekend breakfast and brunch service and going to a sleek, modern interior design (as opposed to Bobcat’s funky, delightfully near-claustrophobic adobe décor).

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

Here’s an idea: Let’s hop in the truck and drive to the world-famous Santa Fe Bite during the legislative session and a stellar ski season, right around lunchtime, try to find a parking spot in the inn’s lot (which offers free two-hour parking to Bite patrons) and hope a table is available among a sea of suits, briefcases and Uggs. We luck out and are seated after only a few minutes.

Despite a full dining room, we’re greeted by our friendly server without much delay and order our drinks. Trying to put some meat on my weary winter bones, I order an espresso malted milkshake (a whopping $7.25), while my companion sticks to a fountain soda ($2.75). The milkshake is huge, almost enough for two, and the espresso flavor is mild.

We know we want a green chile cheeseburger, but there are other things to consider.

I order the chicken street tacos ($11.75), which come on soft corn tortillas with shredded chicken, crumbly cotija cheese, diced tomato and onion, avocado-tomatillo salsa, black beans and corn-studded plain white rice. The chicken has little flavor and tastes dry, but the tangy, mild salsa perks things up considerably. When I think of chicken street tacos, I think of slightly greasy bundles of joy served with a selection of standard taco condiments, not the least important of which is a wedge of lime. No limes here, but it’s OK to ask the server for some. The black beans

It’s okay to weep while eating. We forgive you.

are tender and piping-hot, the portion almost engulfing the chicken serving on my plate. The rice tastes like a dull afterthought. Ask for a substitution, perhaps some salad greens or sweet potato fries. It may cost you, but almost $12 in before tax, you might as well pamper yourself a bit.

The burgers here are available in six-, 10- and 16-ounce meat portions fashioned from a blend of house-ground choice whole boneless chuck and sirloin, and they are served on slightly toasted housemade wheat buns (a gluten-free bun is also available).

The standard side for the burger is the Bite’s homemade potato chips, which have vastly improved since they were first introduced in 2013.

When the Eckres relocated the business, they brought with them a secret burger weapon from Bobcat Bite: a cast-iron griddle infused with more than a decade of flavor and food memories. Besides utilizing this, a heavy burger press and a little seasoning, the patties aren’t fussed over much. Topped with roasted green chile and an American-style white cheese, the only barrier between you and a transcendent burger experience is having it cooked properly.

Our six-ounce green chile cheeseburger ($8.80) arrives perfectly medium rare, which the menu describes as having a “light red-hot center.” Aromatic beefy juices run all over the place as we cut in. We are in burger heaven. Requested pickles and onions are at first forgotten, but our server remedies the situation in good time. There is no room for dessert. We blame the milkshake.

The Eckres may be about to have another new landlord. In a land swap between the New Mexico State Land Commission and Cochiti Pueblo, the commission will give Cochiti the old Dixon Apple Orchard plus 9,000 acres in exchange for Garrett’s Desert Inn and a few adjacent acres, which the Pueblo may plan to buy back from the commission at a later date. Whoever ends up owning the property, please don’t mess with our treasured Bite.

Please.

AT A GLANCE Open: (Winter hours) 11 am-8 pm Tuesday-Thursday, 11 am-9 pm Friday, 8 am-9 pm Saturday, 8 am-8 pm Sunday; closed Mondays Best Bet: Green chile cheeseburger Don’t Miss: Milkshakes and housemade potato chips

TOAST “GUNG HEY FAT CHOY” WITH BAIJIU

Every few years, a new product explodes upon the global mixology scene, and bar folks’ ears perk up. A new toy! A few years back, genever, the Dutch predecessor to today’s gin, became the darling of the industry with its unique, malty flavor. Today, China’s fascinating spirit, baijiu, is snaking its way from Asia across the world.

Baijiu is reminiscent of genever in that it is rich, powerful and unusual, at least to American palates. While vodka is touted as the most popular spirit worldwide, baijiu is more widely sold than vodka in the global market. (A billion Chinese can’t be wrong, right?)

Baijiu is high-octane (ranging from 80 to well over 100 proof ) and made from distilled fermented grain, mainly sorghum. The English translation of “baijiu” is “white liquor,” meaning that it is typically an unaged, clear liquid.

It is slowly surfacing in the US market, and I got my hands on Hong Kong Baijiu for my own at-home experimentation.

Aptly named, Hong Kong is touted as the “gateway to Asia,” and HKB is the perfect steppingstone into the baijiu category. Created by a Frenchman living there, this blend of sorghum, rice, wheat and corn is more palatable to Western taste buds than some of the rougher Chinese moonshine found deep in rural areas. HKB tasting notes include wheatgrass, red fruits, crisp apple and toffee with a malty, sweet corn finish that lingers.

At first, the nose hits you like a musty sock left in the back of the closet for too long. But, upon second whiff, a complex, slightly sweet, crisp wave of intrigue tickles your curiosity. Honestly, I love it neat. Sipping smoky scotch, rye whiskey or mezcal is my speed. That said, my passion for mixology leads me to mix, enhance, contrast and play with people’s taste buds.

And, so, the games began …

Citrus is a no-brainer with most spirits, and baijiu is no exception. A kiss of lemon or lime punches up the fruit notes, as will agave nectar and honey.

I also like to use liqueurs as modifiers because fruit, coffee, chocolate or herbal notes can be fun to contrast any base spirit.

Below are a couple of recipes I created with Chinese New Year (Feb. 8) in mind. Feel free to try them, or tinker with your own combinations. What’s more fun than tinkering with the many possibilities of a new-to-you spirit? “Gung Hey Fat Choy” (or “Happy New Year”) to all you little Fire Monkeys out there!

Panda-monium Jack Black is the chosen one, again

BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex

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 unseen

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

SCORE CARD

from previous iterations in the series, and the bones of the story are so average and uninspired that even children might feel as if they’re being underestimated. Even worse is to have a stellar cast of voices from David Cross, Lucy Liu and Dustin Hoffman to James Hong and Jackie Chan, and to use them all so sparingly.

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 ribbon-dancing 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 a 1000 times by now.

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. Kai’s been stealing the chi of all the spirit world’s kung fu masters and is hell-bent on returning to the mortal world to … hmmmm. Actually, it’s pretty unclear beyond he just wants to get back to the mortal world and eff up everyone’s lives because he’s evil and stuff. This just happens to coincide with Po’s father (Bryan Cranston, who nails it) turning up and the revelation that pandas aren’t extinct after all. Mild jokes and action ensues, and exactly what you think might happen does happen. Hooray.

Yes, Kung Fu Panda 3 is aimed at kids, but even the bits included for their parents might not matter much to anyone who isn’t at least a little familiar with kung fu flick production companies like Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers. Not only that, but much of the humor is tired and reused

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS needed was less George Lucas”

DIRTY GRANDPA

It’s hard to say for whom Dirty Grandpa is more embarrassing: Aubrey Plaza or Robert DeNiro. Plaza, of course, must have assumed she’d be huge during the fervor surrounding the admittedly excellent Parks & Recreation (she was wrong), but for the veteran, award-winning DeNiro, the summertime “sex” romp represents a new low, and we’re totally aware of that movie where he’s an old guy who boxes another old guy.

The story follows Jason (Zac Efron, whose embarrassment we won’t even bother to gauge, since he’s basically worthless), a young lawyer whose grandmother has just died and, while on the precipice of marriage to some ghastly woman who forces him to compare tie colors during the funeral, agrees to drive his grandfather to his vacation home in Florida following the service. But oh— what’s this? Turns out Grandpa has an affinity for pornography (he refers to j-ing off as “taking a number 3”), knows everyone’s name in the Wu-Tang Clan and, like the irritatingly tiresome antics of the insanely overrated Betty White, says and does all kinds of dumb/obscene shit that’s supposed to make us laugh because oh-my-God—old people aren’t usually like this! Le sigh.

While en route, the pair runs into a former college classmate of Jason’s (Zoey Deutch, who is somehow still in college even though Jason is a lawyer and what the hell is going on with the continuity here?), whose

slutty pal, played by Plaza, convinces them to hit Daytona for the spring break festivities because she is out to bang old dudes because she is.

Since DeNiro wants to, and I quote, “Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck,” following the passing of his wife, the game is afoot despite Jason’s propensity towards being a little bitch from years of living under his awful fiancee’s thumb.

Of course, when you’re as pent up as Jason, even a little bit of partying with coeds obviously results in binge-drinking, semi-nude “Macarena,” multiple arrests, the accidental smoking of crack (how is that funny?) and the complete implosion of your lifestyle thanks to your borderline racist yet oddly accepting-of-sexual-orientations grandfather’s apt pointing out that, “If you marry this girl, you’ll spend the rest of your life sleepwalking.”

Jason obviously falls for not-his-fiancee (duh) and does exactly what you’d think he’d do. That’s how bad this movie is—it doesn’t even matter if we spoil it. Even the usually super-funny Jason Mantzoukas (also of Parks & Recreation) as a drug dealer can’t provide laughs, and the ridiculous notion that the inept cops of Daytona Beach would simply allow him to leave incarceration with the drugs he came in with blows right past absurd to just plain stupid.

Throw in a Danny Glover appearance for which the word “cameo” would be too

strong, the always-painfully-bland Dermot Mulroney as Jason’s father and a sad appearance from Adam Pally (who can and should be carrying other, funnier movies), and what’s left is a steaming pile of shit that is so beyond insulting to anyone with a sense of humor even slightly more refined than the average 10-year-old. For the love of God, you guys, do not see this movie. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 102 min.

IP MAN 3

Kung Fu movies are awesome. When given the opportunity to review Ip Man 3, it’s advisable to jump-kick at the chance. Unfortunately, Ip Man 3 disappointed in everything but the Kung Fu department.

It’s a known story principle that a fight scene only has meaning if the characters involved in the fight have some sort of relationship. Unfortunately, these relationships are erratic and poorly defined, as the story jumps back and forth between several different plots that fail to resolve adequately (or at all) during the course of the film. And there’s Mike Tyson.

Yes, the sport of boxing’s favorite ’80s bad-boy woodenly acts his way through some bizarre scenes as a crime lord in 1959 Hong Kong. He even has his strange facial tattoo. I don’t have to be so harsh, Tyson is misued by the script. We know that’s Mike Tyson, lines for his character aren’t nescessary. But then, why is Tyson a crime boss in 1959 Hong Kong, anyway? He doesn’t CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

MOVIES

barf Oh look, my career is dying in Dirty Grandpa. fit. “Inexplicable” isn’t a strong enough word.

There’s also a badly executed “my Kung Fu is better than your Kung Fu” plot line that weaves its way through the A-plot of crime lords taking what they want in a campaign of muscle and fear. At the same time, Ip Man’s (Donnie Yen) wife has cancer and keeps getting interrupted in delivering the bad news. This thread takes up most of the third act, and just when it seems like there’s some sort of theme emerging, the film ends. That’s the problem with this movie: There’s no damn story, no resolution, no point.

What is this movie about? Is it standing up for what you believe? Is it “the rich and powerful don’t rule the world, but those pure of heart”?

Or maybe the theme is “there’s nothing more important than having the love of your life at your side”? We don’t know. Ip Man 3 suffers from an all-too-common film sin: The script isn’t written well enough to provide emotional content. I will concede, however, that the scenes in which Man cares for his dying wife did tug on my heartstrings a little. Abandoning the crime lord story in favor of greater depth in the feuding Kung Fu schools and its effect on Man’s tenuous marriage in the face of mortality would have been a better way to go.

Egregiously, there’s almost no Bruce Lee in this film, either (historical note: Bruce Lee learned Kung Fu from Ip Man in real life during this time of history). If you had added some of Bruce’s hot-headed badassery coupled with Ip Man’s level-headed (and ultimately successful) attempts to control Lee’s furious skill against the backdrop of warring rivals … man, that would have been awesome. If you’re going to go all out in fabricating the life of a historical figure, at least make it good. Let’s be honest, Donnie Yen didn’t look 67, either.

Overall, this movie is just a bunch of missed opportunities wrapped in slick production values. The fighting, taken alone, is well executed and filmed with a wide enough angle to provide an ample view for all the stunts. That isn’t enough to carry a film. (Ben Kendall) Regal, PG-13, 105 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 un-

tapped 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, 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 as he assists a hunting party from the Rocky Mountain Fur Company during a harsh winter on the wild and wooly American frontier.

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 hell-bent 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.

This is an exceptionally violent film in ways that may shock even the most desensitized viewer. But it is never gratuitous. Rather, with each decision Glass must make to survive, we are shown the true meaning of fight-or-flight in a way that only serves to illustrate his drive. The real horror is found within the cruelty of man and the indifference of nature. And it is beautiful. The stark contrasts between establishing shots of ominous towering trees or the fractured chaos of an icy river bend make the imagery of coldblooded murder, survivalism and even rape seem far more startling than they already are, and as we struggle and fail to understand Fitzgerald’s motives, a point is reached where we too begin to relent to Glass’s bloodlust.

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. No scene or exchange seems unnecessary. 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. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 156 min.

MOVIES

meh We really wish Ip Man 3 was better.

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

Turns out the only thing Star Wars really needed was less George Lucas, and JJ Abrams has cobbled together an exciting mélange of the old and the new into a tight and action-packed story. The Empire, as we all know from Return of the Jedi, is no more, but a new shady and evil sect has risen in their place. The First Order is basically the same thing—maybe a little more Nazi-like—right down to the storm troopers, the mysterious and monstrous puppet master who pulls the strings from his throne and is like, I dunno, royalty or something, maybe, and the masked super-villain, Kylo Ren, who is so totally evil, but maybe there’s something about his past we don’t know yet that might explain why, and we’ll just have to be patient and find out.

The battle of light vs. dark is the oldest story in existence, but through artfully executed moments of fan service via cameos, blink-andmiss-it background moments and the use of

CGI as enhancement rather than focus, The Force Awakens solidifies itself in the canon while blasting its way into a league of its own. For every harrowing dogfight in space or samuraiesque light saber duel, there is a tantalizing emotional thread to follow or legitimately funny exchange to enjoy; for every gasp-inducing reveal or unbelievable plot twist, there is a beautiful vista or solid performance. Seriously, this movie is far better than you were probably prepared to hope for.

Of course, this is only the first chapter of a trilogy, so questions remain, but the heartwrenching final moments provide a satisfying conclusion while leaving the door wide open to take the story in any direction its caretakers desire. Longtime fans and initiates will find more than enough to love here, and no matter where you fall on the Star Wars love spectrum, one thing’s for sure—the next chapter can’t come soon enough.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of February 3rd

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The Bible’s Book of Exodus tells the story of the time Moses almost met God. “Show me your glory, please,” the prophet says to his deity, who’s hiding. “You cannot see my face,” God replies, “but I will show you my back parts.” That’s good enough for Moses. He agrees. I hope that you, too, will be satisfied with a tantalizingly partial epiphany, Aries.

I’m pretty sure that if you ask nicely, you can get a glimpse of a splendor that’s as meaningful to you as God was to Moses. It may only be the “back parts,” but that should still stir you and enrich you.

declaration, Libra. My instinct is to help you do everything necessary to maintain harmony. But now is one of those rare times when you can thrive on what happens when you become a bit tilted or uneven or irregular.

That’s because the influences that unbalance you will be the same influences that tickle your fancy and charge your batteries and ring your bell and sizzle your bacon.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The African Association was a 19th-century British group dedicated to exploring West Africa. Its members hoped to remedy Europeans’ ignorance about the area’s geography. In one of the TAURUS (April 20-May 20) he archaic English word Association’s most ambitious projects, it commissioned “quaintrelle” refers to a woman who treats her life as a an adventurer named Henry Nicholls to discover the oriwork of art. She is passionate about cultivating beauty and gin and to chart the course of the legendary Niger River. pleasure and wit in everything she is and does. But she’s not a narcissistic socialite. She’s not a snooty slave to elitist Nicholls and his crew set out by ship in their quest, traveling north up a river that emptied into the Gulf of Guinea. notions of style. Her aim is higher and sweeter: to be an impeccable, well-crafted fount of inspiration and blessings. They didn’t realize, and never figured out, that they were I propose that we resuscitate and tinker with this term, and already on the Niger River. I’m wondering if there’s a comparable situation going on in your life, Scorpio. You may make it available to you. In 2016, you Tauruses of all genders will be inclined to incorporate elements of the quain- be looking for something that you have already found. trelle, and you will also be skilled at doing so. If you have SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Richard P. Feynman was not yet dived in to this fun work, start now! a brilliant physicist who won a Nobel Prize in 1965 for his GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Sufi teacher (and Gemini) Idries Shah offered this teaching: “They say that when Fortune knocks, you should open the door. But why should you make Fortune knock, by keeping the door shut?” Let’s make this your featured meditation, Gemini.

If there is anywhere in your life where proverbial doors are shut—either in the world outside of you or the world inside of you—unlock them and open them wide. Make it easy for Fortune to reach you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Many Cancerians harbor a chronic ache of melancholy about what they’re missing.

The unavailable experience in question could be an adventure they wish they were having or an absent ally they long to be near or a goal they wish they had time to pursue. That’s the bad news. The good news is that you can harness the chronic ache. In fact, it’s your birthright as a Cancerian to do so. If you summon the willpower to pull yourself up out of the melancholy, you can turn its mild poison into a fuel that drives you to get at least some of what you’ve been missing. Now is a favorable time to do just that.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) How will the next chapter of your story unfold? I suspect there are two possible scenarios.

In one version, the abundance of choices overwhelms you. You get bogged down in an exciting but debilitating muddle, and become frazzled, frenetic, and overwrought.

In the other possible scenario, you navigate your way through the lavish freedom with finesse. Your intuition reveals exactly how to make good use of the fertile contradictions. You’re crafty, adaptable, and effective. So which way will you go? How will the tale unfold? I think it’s completely up to you. Blind fate will have little to do with it. For best results, all you have to do is stay in close touch with the shining vision of what you really want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “To hell with my suffering,” wrote Arthur Rimbaud in his poem “May Banners.” I suggest you make that your mantra for now. Anytime you feel a sour thought impinging on your perceptions, say, “To hell with my suffering.” And then immediately follow it up with an expostulation from another Rimbaud poem, “It’s all too beautiful.” Be ruthless about this, Virgo. If you sense an imminent outbreak of pettiness, or if a critical voice in your head blurts out a curse, or if a pesky ghost nags you, simply say, “To hell with my suffering,” and then, “It’s all too beautiful.” In this way, you can take advantage of the fact that you now have more power over your emotional pain than usual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “I like people who unbalance me,” says Irish writer Colum McCann. Normally I wouldn’t dream of encouraging you to make the same

pioneering work in quantum electrodynamics. He also played the bongo drums and was a competent artist. But excessive pride was not a problem for him. “I’m smart enough to know that I’m dumb,” he testified. “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.” I suggest you adopt him as your role model for the next two weeks, Sagittarius. All of us need periodic reminders that we’ve got a lot to learn, and this is your time. Be extra vigilant in protecting yourself from your own misinformation and misdirection.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Food connoisseur Anthony Bourdain has a TV show that enables him to travel the globe indulging in his love of exotic cuisine. He takes his sensual delights seriously. In Charleston, South Carolina, he was ecstatic to experience the flavorful bliss of soft-shell crab with lemon pasta and shaved bottarga.

“Frankly,” he told his dining companion, “I’d slit my best friend’s throat for this.” Bourdain was exaggerating for comic effect, but I’m concerned you may actually feel that strongly about the gratifications that are almost within your grasp. I have no problem with you getting super-intense in pursuit of your enjoyment. But please stop short of taking extreme measures. You know why.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may sometimes be drawn to people or places or ideas long before they can give you their gifts. Although you sense their potential value, you might have to ripen before you’ll be ready to receive their full bounty. Here’s how author Elias Canetti expressed it: “There are books, that one has for twenty years without reading them, that one always keeps at hand, yet one carefully refrains from reading even a complete sentence. Then after twenty years, there comes a moment when suddenly, as though under a high compulsion, one cannot help taking in such a book from beginning to end, at one sitting: it is like a revelation.” I foresee a comparable transition happening for you, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The Leaning Tower of Pisa is eight stories high, including its belfry, and tilts sideways at a four-degree angle. When builders started construction back in 1173, they laid a weak foundation in unstable soil, and the building has never stood straight since then. And yet it is the most lucrative tourist attraction in the city of Pisa, and one of the top ten in Italy. Its flaw is the source of its fame and glory. What’s the equivalent in your world, Pisces? Now is a favorable time to take new or extra advantage of something you consider imperfect or blemished.
