poned the hip-hop concert from its original Aug. 26-27 dates because of “unforeseen circumstances,” according to a statement posted on Twitter.

Organizers announced the new dates and concert lineup last week before tweeting that the headlining acts would switch their performance dates. Desiigner would perform Friday and Ludacris on Saturday because of other unforeseen circumstances,

the tweet said.

Tumbleweed management has not responded to requests for comment on the event or the factors causing the changes.

This will be the fifthannual Rawhide Festival. The event has attracted popular artists, such as T-Pain, Fetty Wap and Juicy J, in previous years.

‘Miss Peregrine’ is a jack of all trades, master of none BY sk yler o s b u r n

E n t erta in ment critic

Tim Burton has always done his best work in animation or live-action films with fantastically absurd premises. His nearly unrivaled knack for extracting bright humanity from surreal grotesquerie is like an inversion of the sensibilities of the great David Lynch, and thus, this oddball director fills a unique niche at the center of arthouse master and blockbuster moviemaker.

During a relatively inconsequential scene in his newest film, “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” a young, melancholy alchemist named Enoch inserts miniature functioning hearts into two macabre dolls fitted with blades, claws and other sorts of violent instruments. Enoch, one of many “peculiars” living with the magical Miss Peregrine in a time loop that always reverts to a peaceful day in 1940, brings these dolls to life and makes them battle to

the death.

This simple sequence, which perfectly encapsulates Burton’s aesthetic, indicates several key characterizations of Enoch and his fellow peculiars.

Enoch has an intense jealous streak and uses his living puppets as a release from such inner turmoil.

Although the peculiars are only children, they live under the constant threat of violence. If I were to rewatch the film, I am sure I would discover more meaning in the scene.

It’s a shame this scene is not at all representative of “Miss Peregrine” as a whole. Enoch’s stopmotion creation is a subtle and darkly humorous visualization of Burton’s interest in the interplay of gleeful and ghastly.

The majority of the film, though, settles on nondescript, in-yourface digital effects that diminish the relationship between gothic visuals and human problems that distinguishes the director’s best work.

21st century fox

“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” is an average Tim Burton film that has lacking CGI and thematic direction.

For instance, the design of the film’s monsters is properly scary, like the illegitimate child of Slenderman, Venom and Aragog.

But the CGI that brings them to life is weak and forgettable, and the film cannot quite recover the suspense this weakness causes it to lose.

Just as the effects of “Miss Peregrine” fall short of proper expecta-

tions, so too does the film’s narrative structure, which never fully settles on a distinct thematic path. At points, it seems as if the film means to emphasize the importance of friends and family. At others, it seems intent on spreading the love of adventure. It wants to do everything, and as a result, it does nothing all that well.

Burton fans will still

find plenty of tidbits to enjoy because a born filmmaker always finds ways to let his vision shine. Nevertheless, “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” plays less like a step forward in Burton’s artistic path and more like an amalgamation of unique ideas and mass-produced mediocrity.

This isn’t a wholesale dismissal of the film; even

a sprinkle of originality is better than a handful of nothing at all. Still, my suggestion is that you go into this film with tempered expectations.

OSU homecoming to recognize first responders

BY R i l ey medil l sta ff reporte r

This year, “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration” will try to move forward, starting with honoring the first responders of last year’s tragedy.

Sunday, the Oklahoma State Alumni Association announced Stillwater’s first responders will be the grand marshals for the 2016 homecoming parade.

Last year, a car crashed through the homecoming parade crowd, killing four and injuring several more.

The men and women who saved lives in the after-

math of that parade will lead this year’s event.

Chris Batchelder, president of the OSU Alumni Association, said remembering the 2015 parade accident is the first step toward moving past it.

“With everything that happened, we wanted to make sure our homecoming isn’t defined by one moment in time,” Batchelder said. “We thought that asking the first responders to be grand marshals this year would allow everyone to say thank you for their actions, which really helped define the Oklahoma State spirit.”

Batchelder said it didn’t take long for the idea to take root. Not long after last year’s events, the Alumni Association and Executive Homecoming Team began formulating a plan for the 2016 celebration.

Representatives from nine first responder organizations in Stillwater will be honored throughout the homecoming celebration, beginning with an acknowledgment at the Homecoming & Hoops pep rally Oct. 28. Each of the groups will also receive recognition during the homecoming parade

and at halftime of the football game against West Virginia on Oct. 29, Batchelder said.

The National Guard, the Stillwater Fire Department, Stillwater Police, Lifenet, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Oklahoma State University Police, Stillwater Medical Center, the Payne County Sheriff’s Office and Stillwater Emergency Management will all be honored, according to an Alumni Association release.

Hammons Hepner, director of the Executive Homecoming Team, said the primary goal of that

plan was to celebrate the courage of Stillwater’s first responders.

“The main thing we wanted to do this year is honor and give a very deserving thank you to those first responders who saved a lot of lives,” Hepner said. “The decision was actually made very quickly.

“It took some time to flesh out the details of how we wanted to do it, but we knew we wanted to focus on the first responders.”

Rob Hill, director of Stillwater Emergency Management, said he was surprised when he heard

the announcement of the grand marshals, but above all else, he was appreciative.

“We’re very humbled and grateful for Alumni Association for giving us this chance,” Hill said.

“You know it’s a big honor for us — living in this community, serving in this community and getting to participate in this way.”
