Scranton Iron Furnaces have become a

HOT HISTORICAL ATTRACTION By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

hen darkness shrouds the Scranton Iron Furnaces tonight, Maureen McGuigan and Alysia Sca-

zafabo hope the historic site will seem eerie. Now the two young women, organizers of a Celtic Samhain Harvest Festival, don’t want you so terrified you won’t enjoy yourself or, worse, even attend. But they’d like you to look at the outline of that big stone structure and get the feeling it could be a mysterious medieval fortress. Or a Stonehenge-like place where Druids might build fires and dance. John E. McGuigan will likely share such stories and read Celtic poetry tonight as the festival gets under way. The event is primarily a harvest celebration, co-chair Scazafabo said, and there are lots of traditions surrounding the fruits of the harvest. For example, the first person to retrieve an apple from the water in an apple-bobbing game was believed to be the next to marry. And if a merrymaker peeled an apple into one long, narrow paring and tossed it over his or her shoulder, it was believed to resemble the initial of a future bride or groom. To learn more about the history of the iron furnaces, it might be best to visit by day and see the four massive stone stacks built by the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Co. during the 1800s. Smoke used to bellow out of them day and night, site administrator Chester Kulesa said, as workers toiled to produce iron Trails for the railroad industry. From a vantage point atop the old furnaces, you can peer into their 40-foot depths. And don’t worry – there are safety fences to protect you from toppling in. By the1880s, the furnaces were the second-largest producer of iron in the United States.

Alysia Scazafabo, Maureen McGuigan and Chester Kulesa are planning a Celtic Samhain Festival at the Scranton Iron Furnaces.

IF YOU GO What: Celtic Samhain Harvest Festival When: 8 to 11 tonight Where: Scranton Iron Furnaces, 159 Cedar Ave., Scranton Admission: $10 in advance, $15 at door More info: 570-963-4804

The operation closed in 1902 and moved to New York state. The local site, just off Cedar Avenue in downtown Scranton, was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The Anthracite Heritage Museum and Iron Furnaces Associates have held an “Arts on Fire” festival, complete with an ironpouring demo, at the historic site in the spring as well as a familyfun day in early autumn. The four-acre park is also ideal for a casual picnic, Maureen McGuigan said, pointing out a grassy expanse and the aptly named Roaring Brook, which drowns out the sound of traffic.

Looking into one of the Scranton Iron Furnaces.

Is it an old fort? A prison? Part of Stonehenge? No, this is what’s left of the Scranton Iron Furnaces, which produced rails for the railroad industry in the 19th century.

“It will be scary because it will be so black,” McGuigan predicted, adding with a smile that a darkness-dispelling bonfire will be part of the festivities, along with apple bobbing, mural painting, Celtic poetry, the music of The Tom Petty Appreciation Band and pumpkin carving. By the way, why do we cut designs into orange gourds this time of year? McGuigan said jack o’lanterns can be traced to the Auld Sod, where a man named Jack made a deal with the devil. Picking up the story during a phone conversation, McGuigan’s father, poet John E. McGuigan, said the legendary Jack outsmarted the devil several times. When he eventually died, he couldn’t get into heaven because he’d been so miserly and such a drunkard. But he couldn’t go to hell either. The devil didn’t want him. Ever after, Jack has been wandering the earth with a carved turnip that holds an ember from the fires of hell. With pumpkins readily available in the New World – and more popular than turnips – they became the vegetable of choice for American “jack o’lanterns.”

Restaurant Review

Fresh cantina spices up downtown W-B

f we’ve had a better margarita, we can’t remember it. Two substantial glasses of lime-infused loveliness on the rocks were the first signs things might taste pretty darn good inside the newest restaurant to take up residence inside the low-rise, stucco-style building at Wilkes-Barre’s North Main and Union that some have decided simply must be cursed. What else could explain the tremendous turnover among restaurateurs who’ve tried to make a go of things here? The lack of sufficient windows to show folks what’s going on and lure them inside? Perhaps. But it seems unfair to focus on what’s bad about the building and not what’s good about the food from the latest kitchen. The folks producing it deserve the best shot possible. These days, attentive and courteous staffers with Latino heritage are serving up Mexican and Dominican fare under the name El Rincon Latino. We’d love to see them succeed, if for no other reason than downtown Wilkes-Barre can use a purveyor of fresh, authentic Mexican. Our server labeled this variety TexMex, which is exactly what it sounds like: a hybrid of Texan and Mexican tastes. What distinguishes it from the Mexican fare you’ll find in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah is probably lots more melted cheese, more meat (particularly beef) and an abundance of beans and spices. Oh yeah, and the availability of the bynow-expected combo plate. You know the deal: Can’t decide among the enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos and tamales? Pick two or three and make life easier. That’s exactly what I did, ordering a pork tamale, a beef-and-cheese enchilada and a chicken quesadilla. All were worthy entrees in a familiar category, with just two observations: They needed to be hotter, and flour tortillas taste better than corn tortillas, but that’s just my opinion. Other than that, I can’t complain about the taste, quality and quantity of the food I got for about 10 bucks. My guest was similarly pleased, describing a starter of homemade guacamole and the complimentary salsa (served with chips, of course) as amazing, both obviously fresh and prepared with care. She found her main dish, chicken fajitas, terrific but offered the same observation about temperature. The only thing that kept these fajitas, which looked stunning, from a rating of “amazing” was that we’re used to a dish that arrives at the table sizzling. Still, the generous addition of onions, red and green peppers and quite large chunks of chicken made for a truly satisfying meal. Rice and beans, beyond reproach,

El Rincon Latino (The Latin Corner) is the latest restaurant to take up residence in the building on North Main and Union streets in Wilkes-Barre.

IF YOU GO What: El Rincon Latino Where: 69 North Main St., Wilkes-Barre (corner/East Main and Union) Call: 570-822-3942 Credit cards? Yes, “anything plastic.” Handicapped accessible? Yes Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; noon-10 p.m. Sundays.

rounded out the plate. We also shared a delightful order of “puffy” tacos, ordered as an appetizer. The beef filling was a bit standard, nothing exciting, but the taco shells were, in fact, puffy, light and crispy. We loved the liberal fresh tomato, lettuce and queso cheese on top. Yes, we dared dessert. Don’t go looking for fried ice cream here – sad face – but if you like either flan or tres leche (threecream) cake, you’re in luck. We shared the latter, beautifully presented with huge clouds of whipped cream and sweet caramel drizzles. We had room for just a few bites, but those bites were grand. They even somehow played well with our exquisite margaritas, which managed to carry us through to dessert. Kudos to their maker for that. A nontraditionally shaped glass meant a substantial, generous pour, and the flavor was neither too strong nor watery, with absolutely no trace of a sickly ready-made mix. Those margaritas alone would justify a return trip, but we’ll surely taste a new plate next time as well. No sense having the chef bored. Besides, if there really is a curse on this building, let it be broken. Let the fresh food and homemade drink work together with the mariachi magic to bring on the people. Times Leader food critics remain anonymous.

Brianna Smith and Patricia Juarez were all smiles for the camera.

Owners Paola and Jerry Ruiz were eager to show off what they’ve done with the place.

The Mariachi Tequila band – Augustine Flores, Fernando Larios and Braulio Sosa – provided a lively, colorful and worldly sound during the Oct. 14 festivities.

The taste of chocolate milk is growing on grown-ups. “It’s like Yoo-Hoo,” Felecia Koester, manager and bartender at Milano Italian Steakhouse in Old Forge, said of the restaurant’s newest shipment of wine. “You can barely taste the alcohol.” Milano has ventured into the world of chocolate wine, and Koester and the other bartenders are more than eager to infuse it into martinis. Chocolate wines generally go two ways: The dark and rich versions are port style, and the lighter version mixed with cream tends to look like chocolate milk. That’s the version used in the Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Wine Martini, which contains Chocolate Valley Vines wine, Whipped Cream and Strawberry vodka. “Originally there was no strawberry in it, but we found that it rounds out the taste,” Koester said. ••• CHOCOLATE-COVERED STRAWBERRY WINE MARTINI Served at: Milano Italian Steakhouse, 912 S.

Close your eyes and listen to the music. You may find yourself picturing Harry Potter and his Gryffindor buddies as they swoop around the quidditch field or summon a silvery patronus. Or maybe you’ll imagine a Captain Jack Sparrow from “Pirates of the Caribbean” or Sayuri from “Memoirs of a Geisha.” When the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic plays SaintSaëns’ “Danse Macabre,” you just might think of bones. “The clock strikes 12. It’s midnight. The ghouls and ghosts are summoned. They dance a spooky dance,” conductor Larry Loh said. “You hear a xylophone, which conjures up skeletons with bones clanking. It gets wilder and wilder and more festive and spooky until the first light of dawn, signaled by a rooster that’s played by the oboe.” While that’s what Loh usually thinks of when he hears SaintSaëns’ “quintessentially Halloween-esque piece,” he invites you to enjoy your own imagination during the Philharmonic Pops’ “Harry Potter and Friends: John Williams Spooktacular,” set for Friday in Scranton and Sunday in

Wilkes-Barre. “We hope everyone has their own mental images, their own drama going,” the conductor said.

Notes on Music

Browns finds red-hot blend to set it apart By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

On a cover-band-heavy or hardrock-focused local music scene, a band that melds funk, jazz and R&B has lasted five years. The Woody Browns Project – Jesse Rupert on guitar, Fares Houssein on keyboards, Jay Stefanski on drums, Alex Santini on bass, Carl Krupa on alto saxophone, Travis Davis on tenor saxophone and Bob Scorey on percussion – will celebrate that longevity at 10 p.m. tomorrow at the River Street Jazz Café in Plains Township. Other artists that have played with the group through the years, such as Gino Lispi, Mike Dougherty and D.J Evil Bee, will be part of the show, as will Jack Meade on baritone saxophone and former member Bob Bottger on trumpet. Teaming up with Krupa and Davis, they will become The Pennsyltuky Horn Ensemble. “There’s a different music scene here than what we’re really pushing, and I think that was what gave us the edge, a call for something different,” Houssein explained. The infectious blend of classic soul, funk, jazz and R&B makes The Woody Browns Project’s music enchanting and danceable. “We’re all drawn by different influences, which makes it cool because we’re really a melting

The Woody Browns Project, a local jazz/funk/R&B band, will celebrate its five-year anniversary Saturday. From left: Alex Santini, Fares Houssein, Bob Scorey, Jesse Rupert and Jay Stefanski. Other current members not pictured include Travis Davis and Carl Krupa.

The band released a self-titled album in 2009, and this show, plus others, will serve as the basis for its second album, which will be live tracks with studio recordings thrown in.

“That’s just the nature of the band,” Houssein said. “We’re a live band more than anything.” As such, The Woody Browns Project is seeking to expand the areas in which it can show off its

live chops. “We’re trying to attract as many fans as we can not only in this area but other areas as well,” Houssein said. “Our goal is to get on tour.”

pot,” Houssein said. As for songwriting? “It’s very difficult, and you can quote me on that with big exclamation marks,” he joked. “It’s actually the most difficult part but also the key to our music. Everyone is so diverse and has their own idea of what will work, so it can clash, but there’s definitely an organized chaos to our writing.” “When it gets down to it, we do try to focus on a certain element of the music and narrow it down that way. If we’re going with funk, we focus on both up-andcoming artists, like Lettuce, as well as the classics, like Marvin Gaye and James Brown.”

Hilarity’s a symptom of ‘Hay Fever’ By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

When Judith and David Bliss and their grown children, Simon and Sorel, each invite a guest of the opposite sex to their country home, the four hapless visitors are soon swept up in one melodramatic scene after another. A timid little kiss here? A few words of flirtation there? These catalysts make members of the Bliss family emote like wildfire, as if harmless terms of endearment signaled a full-fledged affair. At one point, mom even faints. “The family is used to playing these games all the time with each other,” said Paul Winarski, who is directing Noel Coward’s “Hay Fever” for Actors Circle in Scranton.

S TA G E THIS WEEK: O C T. 2 1 T O 2 7, 2 0 11 Kimberly Akimbo, a teen’s body ages too quickly. Gaslight Theatre at 89 S. Washington St., Wilkes-Barre. 7:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday. $10, $8. 824-8266. Frost/Nixon, historical dramatization. 8 tonight and Saturday night; 2 p.m. Sunday. United Methodist Church of Chinchilla, 411 Layton Road, Clarks Summit. $12. 676-0940.

Act II, when Richard the diplomat innocently asks “Is this a game?” That’s a cue line from “Love’s Whirlwind,” a play Judith wants to revive,anditsetsherandheroh-socreative offspring into a frenzy.

“Coward was easily one of the five best writers of the 20th century,” Winarski said. “I think this is his masterpiece.” Set in the 1920s, the comedy depicts an era when “celebrity was ve-

ry much on the rise,” Winarski added. “It was quite an honor to be invited to the home of a famous actress and writer.” Even if they – and their children – were crazy.

THE GUIDE

A weekend in the country turns into an eccentric free-for-all as four members of the Bliss family each invite a guest without telling the others in Noel Coward’s comedy ‘Hay Fever.’

Spunky sports drama

scores By ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel

here’s something irresistible about the underdog, something glorious about a “Cinderella

Story” in sports. “The Mighty Macs” taps into that, telling us of the glory days of Immaculata College’s women’s basketball team. This tiny Catholic school for women dominated the sport at a turning point in history, and this plucky, old-fashioned sports drama tells the tale with a lot of heart and a dash of wit. Carla Gugino plays Cathy Rush, the only candidate to apply to coach the team at the then-struggling school. Her salary is a pittance, the out-ofstyle uniforms are dresses better suited to field hockey, and the gym just burned down. The Reverend Mother (Ellen Burstyn) takes just enough time between urgent meetings with the board, which is trying to figure out how to keep the

college open, to lecture Rush on just how little money there is: “If we didn’t have to struggle, we could never harvest the glory.” It’s 1971, and the bra-burning corner of the women’s movement hasn’t impacted this suburban Philadelphia school. When Coach Rush nags her players to dive for the ball, the response she gets is “This is soooooo unladylike.” She has

to convince them they have to play like the boys to win and set their sights higher than that “Mrs.” degree so many of them have as their goal. Tim Chambers’ film, completed in 2009 and only now reaching theaters, is subtle in suggesting the revolution of which this team was a part. Women dunk, now. They can aspire to become pro basketball players. A whole society was changing, and this little school was pivotal in that. When a player cracks about her coach, “She already has a husband. Why would she want to work?” it’s a reminder of how far the country’s come, kids.

Besides the fact that they are must-see movies, what do the newly released “Terri,” “Last Exit To Brooklyn” and “Scream 4” have in common? Their casts all include actors born or reared in Northeastern Pennsylvania. ••• “SCREAM 4” (2011, ANCHOR BAY, R, $30): In this Wes Craven-directed shocker, Wilkes-Barre native Mary McDonnell plays the aunt of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), the Ghost Face survivor who’s back in Woodsboro and, once again, at the mercy of yet another serial slasher. At 111 minutes, “Scream 4” goes on for far too long but manages to walk the knife’s edge between parody and tribute while serving up plenty of cheap thrills. ••• “TERRI” (2011, FOX, R, $28): Reminiscent of such oddball delights as “Cyrus” and “Chuck and Buck,” this poetic and funny coming-of-age film centers on an overweight high-schooler (Jacob Wysocki) who is so depressed about being bullied that he’s taken to wearing his pajamas to class. His life takes a turn for the better when he’s befriended by the vice principal (John C. Reilly), a former outcast willing to share his survivor’s wisdom. Watch for Allentown’s Tim Heidecker as a creepy gym teacher. ••• “LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN” (1989, SUMMIT, R, $22): Garbage litters the street, a hooker named Tralala (Jennifer Jason Leigh) lures sailors to an abandoned lot to be robbed by a gang of hoodlums, and a union rep (Stephen Lang) pays a high price for hiding his homosexuality. Hell has nothing on this corner of Brooklyn, where goodness has gone missing. Based on a novel by Hubert Selby Jr., the new-to-Blu-ray potboiler is a lurid powerhouse, with an electrifying turn by the Scranton-reared Jerry Orbach.

THE GUIDE

A search for a husband, the American dream and the Fountain of Youth are subjects for this week’s DVD releases. ••• “BAD TEACHER,” GRADE B-MINUS: Cameron Diaz plays a foul-mouthed teacher more concerned with getting high than dealing with her students. The film is like a student who can’t fully make sense of a subject the first half of the year, but then suddenly has an epiphany and everything becomes clear. That awakening in the second half is enough to bring up the grade. The film takes on a

wicked nature that keeps it entertaining until the final bell. “A BETTER LIFE,” GRADE B: An undocumented immigrant learns a valuable lesson about the pitfalls of chasing the American dream. Demian Bichir turns in a powerful performance as Carlos Galindo, a single father who will do anything to make sure his son, Luis (Jose Julian), is given all the opportunities he never had. The downside is all the hours Carlos works feed a growing separation between father and son. “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER

TIDES,” GRADE C-PLUS: Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth. The film could have used a splash of that magical water because other than Depp, the franchise feels old and run-down. ••• ALSO NEW ON DVD: “KEVIN SMITH: TOO FAT FOR 40:” Director/writer Kevin Smith declares himself too fat for his 40th birthday. “MONTE CARLO:” Three vacationing friends are taken to Monte Carlo after one is mistaken for a British heiress.

Seriously: What the hell? Those who favored the callous aggravations of the recent Guy Ritchie-directed “Sherlock Holmes,” a film without which “The Three Musketeers”wouldbeunthinkable,may forgive the grating, chaotic brand of storytelling and filmmaking here more easily than I. Paul W.S. Anderson brings to this costume party the same battering-ram sensibility he brought to “Alien Versus Predator,” “Death Race” (which I liked, actually) andtheongoing“ResidentEvil” franchise.The1844Dumasadventure classic is now a steampunk’d migraine. Clashing swords — 3-D swords in your face! — purloined jewels and court intrigues no longer suffice. This movie couldn’t give a rip about that stuff. It exists for its digital airborne sailing vessels and deadly retro-futuristic flamethrowers. Somewhere in there you’ll find a trio of cynical,

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS

JUMBLE

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

Product placement pays for companies Q. At what point does an incidental prop become “product placement” for which permission is necessary? For example, seeing a person drinking a Coke is the most normal, common thing you’ll see on earth so, at what point are filmmakers required to ask Coke permission to show a character drinking their beverage? A. It’s interesting that you chose CocaCola. In 2007, the company took issue with an Italian film in which Jesus drank a Coke. According to a report in Variety at the time, Coca-Cola wrote to the producers “demanding that the scene be cut because it is likely to give Coca-Cola a negative image and complaining that use of their brand was unauthorized.” The company successfully kept the movie from being distributed. In general, if you are showing a clearly identifiable logo for a product in a movie or TV show, then you had better either have permission from the company, be sure you are not portraying the product in a negative light — or prepare for the possibility of litigation. As companies become ever more protective of their brands, seemingly incidental use of products becomes less and less likely. Product placement is a money issue. Shows can get money from companies for showcasing their products, and the makers of the products get a promotional boost from being onscreen. Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag?

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you were

younger, you trusted people because you had to. There were no options other than to take what adults provided. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Complete old business before starting new projects. This will require some cleanup, and it also may involve you giving away some things you know you’ll never use again. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What you really desire is space, time and liberty. If you let them, minor details have a way of clouding your open blue sky.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Consider that

you may have been sent to earth by angels who believe it their most important responsibility to watch over you and guide you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You might need to lighten up a bit. It will help you to think of your life as a kind of video game. You have choices, and when things don’t go right, you can go back and play again. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s frustrating when you look for things and don’t find them. However, you’re willing to go through the frustration because when you do land on the treasure, it brings such immense satisfaction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re powerful. Also, you know more about the future

than you think you do. Write down your wants, and put the list away to be read at the end of the year. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your energy is tireless now because the more you do the more you feel like doing. And when your intention is to do what’s mutually beneficial, small details work themselves out and all goes smoothly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes you’re afraid to want what you want because you feel it makes you seem too greedy. Rest assured, you won’t be taking from others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll enter a new professional realm before the year is over. You’ll be gathering influences and getting your look and presen-

tation together over the next few days.

mind stress. Tension actually helps you become your very best. You create something useful and beautiful from unlikely or even opposing elements. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A sensitive and creative creature, you are also easily hurt by anyone who doesn’t respond as you would like to your ideas. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 21).

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 32, 11 and 20.

Rules must change between ’tween daughter and her dad Dear Abby: My preteen daughter, “Avery,” has started developing a more mature figure. She recently told me privately that one night while I was in class, her father smacked her on the bottom and started playing with the back pockets on her jeans. It made her very uncomfortable. When Avery asked him to stop, he told her that she’s his “baby girl” and he could smack her “cute little butt” if he wants to.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE I think my husband truly believed it was OK and didn’t mean (at least consciously) to touch her inappropriately. But if it bothered Avery, it can’t continue. I’m afraid I’ll overreact if I try to discuss this with him. I was sexually abused by a relative when I was a young teenager. This relative also said that because he was related to me

he could touch me in whatever way he wanted. To further complicate matters, my husband refuses me in bed. If there’s trouble brewing, I want to stop it now, but I don’t want to come off as a freaked-out, paranoid former victim seeing abuse where it may be total innocence. Any suggestions? — Uneasy in Indiana Dear Uneasy: Yes. Listen to your gut. Tell your daughter you’re glad she told you what

GOREN BRIDGE

happened, and you want her to come to you anytime ANYONE makes her feel uncomfortable. No one has the right to touch her if she doesn’t want to be. And because what her father did made her uncomfortable, her “cute little butt” is off limits. If your husband gives you an argument, insist on professional counseling for the two of you. He may be slow to realize that his little girl is growing up and the rules have changed. A licensed counselor will not come off as a “freaked-out,

Arnett owns the ‘Night’

THE GUIDE

By SANDRA SNYDER ssnyder@timesleader.com

So NBC didn’t hire Will Arnett as Dunder-Mifflin regional manager because it had another, slightly less prestigious job in mind for him: SAHD. That’s stayat-home-dad, for those not up on their acronyms. What “The Office” has lost, “Up All Night” has gained, giving NBC further ammunition in the battle it’s still winning. In one of the bleakest seasons on recent record for new sitcoms, Arnett positively makes this NBC Wednesday-nighter (8 Eastern) sing. Sure, he has some star-powered help in the form of Christina Applegate as his over-wrought, overworked wife, Reagan, and Maya Rudolph, fresh off “Bridesmaids,” as Reagan’s loopy, perpetually lovelorn boss. But it’s this quasi-critic’s humble opinion that Arnett’s low-key, dry-side humor sets “Up All Night” apart from the pack of over-the-top sitcoms trading on implausible, that-would-NEVERhappen plot lines and sight gags. (Don’t even get me started on the continuing toilet humor of “Two and a Half Men.”) In recent examples, as the token daddy at the day care – Mr. Bob’s Kaleidoscope (love the name) – Arnett killed it while merely watching, mystified, as

Christina Applegate as Reagan and Will Arnett as Chris in NBC’s new comedy ‘Up All Night. ‘

wifey took on “Kayla’s Mom,” who had the audacity to publicly question the working mom. Lines like “I’m not angry; I’m disappointed” are all in the delivery, and Arnett is all about the delivery, so much so we might be glad Andy Bernard beat him out in that Scranton paper chase. He’s also been funny without saying a word. Dude had his highest hopes dashed when the hints didn’t hit and Reagan slipped into something a little more comfortable (sweats) for the umpteenth consecutive dinner. The humor was in the body language. Provided Arnett stays this course, and maybe the writers dial down Applegate and Rudolph just a smidge, we can guarantee “Up All Night” will knock all the other imitators down all the time. Let this one at least be a lesson to them.
