VUEPOINT

RYAN BROMSGROVE RYAN@VUEWEEKLY.COM

The big buyout In a deal announced Monday, Postmedia says it is buying 175 English-language Sun Media publications. Meaning, for example, that the people who own the Edmonton Journal will be the same people who own the Edmonton Sun—and that pattern will extend over a huge number of Canadian cities. Daily local print news in Canada will typically now have one owner.

One company buying another out is not usually a big deal—Lay's and Ruffles chips are both owned

by Pepsico. Both brands have slightly different consumers and, ultimately, chips don't matter in the scheme of things. But Canadian cities' daily Postmedia publications have different audiences than their Sun Media counterparts, and journalism does matter.

The diversity of voices we have could get smaller.

One daily being bought out by the other is the first step on a slippery slope that could lead to content sharing and moments of editorial unity. When we're talking about news media as an entity that reports, comments on and contextualizes things that affect all of us, diversity is important. Postmedia knows that people like a range of news coverage, but with the ongoing crisis in newspaper revenues, there are very big, very obvious cost-saving "efficiencies" to be made in multiple cities if you happen to own both papers. Could it get to the point of consolidating both into one office? And then would there really be much point in sending two separate teams out to cover everything?

The deal still requires regulatory approval and there are many ways that Postmedia could go forward with its new properties. Unfortunately, not many of them are actually good for Canada's media landscape. V

Climate change shouldn't divide

The liberal-radical divide in queer communities is hurting climate organizing Blink and you may have missed it: a few weeks ago, there was news coverage of the UN Climate Summit, which was quickly overshadowed by (perhaps conveniently timed) parliamentary secretary Paul Calandra's non-replies to questions about Canada's involvement in Iraq and Harper's subsequent announcement to support what is looking like another war in the region.

I've been thinking a lot about the climate summit recently and what our Prime Minister's absence might mean for a country and a province that is so desperately dependant on energy resources. It wasn't until I read Jay Michaelson's essay, "Is Caring about Climate Change an Essential part of LGBT Identity?" published on September 21 in The Daily Beast that I started to think about the queer implications of climate change.

Michaelson uses the example of the People's Climate March—with 400 000 people strong in New York City and dozens of solidarity marches around the globe, it was the world's largest climate march—to ponder how the liberal-radical divide in queer communities is hurting climate-change organizing.

Michaelson argues that radical queers likely see the battle over climate change as a natural extension of a queer project that works in

solidarity with oppression whereas he doubts that liberal queer groups, particularly those that fought (or are still fighting) for gay marriage, will agree. This is why many radical-queer groups participated in the March while many liberal groups did not. But Michaelson suggests that it is precisely the liberal queers, or more specifically their tactics, that activists need to employ to fight climate change.

His argument is this: there is an effective vast right-wing conspiracy to cloud the truth about climate change to the point that a healthy percentage of people believe that human-caused climate change is not real. If there is going to be effective political movement on climate change, Michaelson suggests activists need to convince the "movable middle," that class of people who exist between the poles of the political spectrum and who often determine policy change, that climate-change action is necessary.

This group of people were focus-grouped and messaged-tested ad nauseam to develop an effective gay-marriage campaign. As Michaelson says, "Precisely the tactics that could be most helpful in moving us toward meaningful action on climate change—fine-tuning a mainstream message, ascertaining the movable middle— are the least likely to appeal to intersectionally

NEWS // RENEWABLE ENERGY

minded justice activists marching in something called the 'People's Climate March.' Meanwhile, the mainstream gays, the establishment types who spent those corporate-donated dollars on market testing and focus groups, are sitting this one out."

Michaelson's argument comes off as a onesided critique of radical politics, but I wonder if there's a more subtle message here. Whereas gay marriage campaigns succeeded because straight people got on board, there is no outside when it comes to climate change; we all live on the same planet. Edmonton is a good case in point: if you live here, regardless of your politics, every dollar that comes through your hands is saturated with oil. I have heard liberal queers brag about working for oil companies (good for you?) and radical ones claim that they do not benefit from the oilsands (I wish that was true). So maybe the problem isn't one of radical-liberal-middle, it's one of recognizing how we are all equally implicated in climate change. Is it possible to fine-tune a radical message that says shit is going to get messy real soon unless we seriously reconsider the ways in which we live in the world? Maybe. I just hope we all get the message. V

Greenpeace's Panels Not Pipelines tour focused on finding ways to use more renewable energy in Alberta

W

hen Premier Prentice told The Globe and Mail on September 18 that he's a big believer in renewable, he earned the applause of organizations like the Canadian Solar Industries Association. Noting that Alberta has more capacity from wind power than anywhere else in the country, Prentice lauded the province's rapidly developing solar energy industry.

"I think what we should be doing is making investments in those areas in the context of an overall climate plan for the province," Prentice said then.

This week, however, the Premier seemed to try to distance himself from his own remarks. "I have never said that I would replace coal-fired plants with wind and solar power," he wrote in a letter to the Financial Post on October 6, adding his oft-used phrase that he does not believe in "subsidized environmentalism."

While this might leave the rest of us to wonder whether Prentice's letter, which condemns "the funnelling of public money to unproven

TOIL AND TROUBLE Albertans' long working hours could be harming our health and productivity—is there a better way?

// Curtis Hauser

H

ow many hours you need to work and how much comfort you get in return is a question as old as civilization—from the 175 holidays a year enjoyed during the Roman Empire to the 15-hour workdays of the early industrial revolution.

Bertrand Russell, lover of all things rational, argued that if everyone worked four-hour days—a breezy 20-hour workweek—we'd eliminate unemployment, easily have enough goods and services for a comfortable society, and people would be relaxed and have enough leisure time to be well-rounded and happy citizens. Sadly, the English philosopher's advice, written in 1932, was not heeded.

The last 82 years have not buried the eight-hour day. In fact, Albertans work more than anyone else in Canada—2.4 hours more a week than the national average. If more time off leads to a happier, more fulfilled populace, as Russell argued, then what of the opposite?

Long hours, big problems A recent report by the Fraser Institute says 29 percent of Albertans work more than 50 hours a week, way more than the national average of 12.4 percent working those hours.

More than half of Albertans work 40-plus hours a week. The report says businesses often work their employees for longer hours because it's easier than hiring new people.

taking time off as they please—many people will see the conversation shift from "work-life balance" to "work-life integration."

The professor says work-life integration is like "always working and always on vacation." So you'd have the freedom to take your family on holiday—but you'd be bringing your laptop and working on projects. And you could see work creeping into any spare moment. This would be perfect for people who love and are passionate about what they do, but it could be a weight around the life of someone who loathes their career.

Less is more Here in Alberta at least, we seem to be working more and more. But some researchers agree with Russell's argument that we should be harnessing technology's advances to help us work less.

MIT researcher Erik Rauch writes that with today's advances we only need to work 11 hours a week to produce as much as someone in 1950 working a 40-hour week. And the Max Planck research centre in Denmark recently proposed 25-hour workweeks as the ideal—but you'd work much less when you're young and balance that with more hours in your senior years.

Either way, science is telling us that less is more. For our health and productivity's sake, we could all stand to embrace some idleness.

Terrorism 101

Re-discovering the lost doctrine of dealing with terrorists in the face of ISIS threats and attacks

// Cudmore via Compfight

There was a time, as recently as 25 years ago, when military staff colleges around the world taught a reasonably effective doctrine for dealing with terrorism. Then it was forgotten, but we need it back. It would be especially useful in dealing with the terrorist state that has recently emerged in northern Iraq and eastern Syria.

The doctrine was painfully worked out back in the decades of the 1960s, '70s and '80s, when terrorism was one of the world's biggest problems. Most of the time, the strategy worked, whether the threat was the

urban terrorists who plagued most Latin American countries and a number of big developed countries, or the rural guerillas who fought the government in many African and Asian countries.

The key insight was this: terrorist movements always want you to over-react, SO DON'T DO IT. The terrorists usually lack the popular support to overpower their opponent by force, so they employ a kind of political jiu-jitsu: they try to use the adversary's own strength against him. Most domestic terrorism, and

almost all international terrorism, is aimed at provoking a big, stupid, self-defeating response from the target government.

The Red Army Faction terrorists, for example, hoped that their attacks would provoke West Germany's democratic government into severe repression. This was known, in the works of philosopher Herbert Marcuse, as "unmasking the repressive tolerance of the liberal bourgeoisie"—and once the West German government had dropped its mask, the RAF terrorists believed, the outraged workers would rise up in their millions and overthrow it.

But we never found out if the workers would actually do that, because the West German government refused to panic. It just tracked down the terrorists and killed or arrested them. It used violence, but only in legal, limited and precisely targeted ways. The same approach ended the terrorist campaigns in Italy (the Red Brigades), Canada (the Quebec Liberation Front), Japan (the Japanese Red Army) and the United States (the Weathermen).

International terrorism has a somewhat better record of success, mainly

because these terrorists are not actually trying to overthrow the government they attack. They are merely trying to trick that foreign government into using massive violence against the countries where they really do want to take power. The attacks of the foreigners will outrage and radicalize the local population, who will then give their support to the local revolutionaries.

The most successful operation of this kind was 9/11, a low-cost attack that incited the United States to invade two entire countries in the region where the revolutionaries of al-Qaeda hoped to replace the local governments with Islamist regimes.

The local population has been duly radicalized, especially in the Sunnimajority parts of Iraq, and 13 years later an "Islamic Caliphate" has taken power in the northern and western parts of that country.

So now that bin Laden's vision has finally taken concrete shape, how should we deal with it? ("We" in this case is practically every regime in the Arab world, most of the other Muslim countries and all of the NATO countries, with Russia and China in supporting roles). ISIS's behaviour is

abominable, but is there any better option than simply bombing it from a great height?

Rule one in the old anti-terrorism doctrine was DON'T OVERREACT, and it still applies. That means as little bombing as possible and only of strictly military targets. Preferably, it would mean no bombing at all except in specific areas where ISIS troops are on the offensive.

It means not letting yourself be lured into more extreme action by the public beheading of innocent hostages and the other atrocities that ISIS stages to attract a certain kind of recruit. Indeed, it means not launching a major ground offensive against ISIS (for which the troops are not available anyway), and waiting for events to take their course within the 'Islamic State'.

Regimes as radical and violent as this one rarely survive for long. The revolution will eat its children, as so many have before, and it will happen a lot more quickly if they don't have a huge foreign military threat to hold them together.

fighting to stop the KeystoneXL oilsands pipeline from endangering the Oglala aquifer while at the same time building clean energy solutions, such as solar-powered barns.

Nikiforuk wrote Tar Sands: Dirty Oil and the Future of the Continent, which was a national bestseller and won the 2009 Rachel Carson Environment Book Award. His latest book, The Energy of Slaves: Oil and the New Servitude, argues for a radical shift in our attitudes toward energy consumption.

Benson is the Edmonton-based founder of Green Works Energy, an electrical contracting company specializing in the design and installation of grid-connected solar electric systems.

Greenpeace's Melina LaboucanMassimo says that part of the organization's goal is to show that there's a positive side to the work environmentalists do.

"We want to raise awareness and provide information to local communities about the benefits of renewable energy," she says. "We think it's important that we're not just about raising alarms about the environmental impacts of the oilsands. We also want to offer communities solutions so that they can work towards their own energy sovereignty."

REVUE // MEXICAN

Café Del Sol

// Eden Munro

Tasty Mexican eats, so-so ambiance If online reviews are anything to go by, the quality of the dining experience at Café Del Sol might be one of the most polarizing issues of our time. People—the ones who post comments online, anyway—either love or revile this unsung Mexican nook, tucked behind a fast-food joint in a strip mall on westbound Yellowhead Trail. As usual, the truth lies somewhere in between.

What the internet won't tell you is that Café Del Sol has very recently moved across the city. Four of us were almost on our way to their former location in Belvedere when someone more diligent than us made us wise to the change of address. You may one day find their menu online,

we had to ask twice before someone came and got our order.

Controversy rages—again, online— around whether Café Del Sol serves authentic Mexican food. You certainly don't see cochinita pibil (Mayan pork) or birria (Jalisco beef stew) on the menu board at Taco Time, so there's that. The closest I've ever been to authentic Mexican food was in Texas, so an expert I am not. I do know that I liked everyone else's food better than my own.

One co-diner was quite pleased with the aforementioned birria ($15), a hank of brisket stewed to fall-apart tenderness in tomatoes, peppers and spices, served with tortillas, rice and beans—though the portion was gen-

erous enough he didn't finish it even with the help of his wife. The other co-diners got two each of tacos with carnitas (pulled pork) and chipotle chicken, with their choice of beans, rice or house-made guacamole (which was chunkier than usual, but zestily limed and garlicked). The double-ply tortillas were heaped with succulent seasoned meat that was practically its own condiment—pretty much all I want out of a taco. The sample of carnitas I was allowed won my full approval. Veggie options also exist, if you need them.

Surrounded by tacos, I felt it my duty to venture a different dish for a more rounded review of the menu.

Seasonal pairings

Some suggestions for food and wine in the fall The fall harvest brings a bounty of seasonal foods and the rapidly cooling weather is a sign that it's definitely time to shift wine habits.

Here's a guide to food and wine pairings throughout the autumn season.

Turkey Dinner

The chicken enchiladas ($15) in one of my choice of four sauces—I picked mole—with rice and beans fit the bill. My idea of authentic Mexican is a sparing use of cheese, but the pasta boat in which my entrée came had a copious molten expanse of it, so that its oil overflowed onto the plate and colonized a corner of the rice. Underneath it was shredded chicken in tortillas, immured in a rich, complex, almost-chocolatey sauce. That part was pretty good, as were the simmered black beans on the side, but I wouldn't order this particular dish again.

The table also shared an order of the pappas bravas ($8), a big basket of fried potato slices with "Diablo" sauce on the side, which was not as

diabolical as we were expecting— more ketchup-y than salsa-y. No matter—the ultra-thick, hot potato chips went just as well with the tangier house-made salsa also provided.

I would eat there again. I liked the tacos, which are a fair price in the context of Edmonton's overall taco market—in fact, our final bill was around $20 per person including tax and tip.

Plus I'm dying to know what cochinita pibil tastes like. But beware: if a few rough edges are the sort of thing that propel you to your laptop to register your outrage, Café Del Sol may be a little too earthy for your hair-trigger sensibilities.

It’s nigh impossible to suggest a single bottle of wine for a classic Thanksgiving turkey dinner because it has to work with such a smorgasbord of flavours. Fullbodied, tannic red wines are ruled out right away, because they clash horribly with the lighter, sweeter flavours found in turkey, roasted root vegetables, cranberry sauce, and that fruity Cool Whip Jell-O salad your aunt always brings.

Stick to white wines with high acidity and a touch of residual sugar—Riesling or Semillon are reliable choices. Red wine drinkers should stay on the lighter end of the spectrum and choose a Gamay or Pinot Noir, especially fruity New World versions. Rosé is also a versatile option, as they have the acidity of the white wine but the structure of a red, and often they have a touch of residual sugar, plus you can usually convince red wine drinkers to give them a shot.

Recommendations: Angels Gate Riesling (Canada) Burge Family Olive Hill Semillon (Australia) Il Feuduccio Cerasuolo Rosé (Italy)

Game Meat

Deer, elk, rabbit, duck, pheasant, grouse—hunting season yields a huge amount of tasty wild meats. One of the cardinal rules of food and wine pairing is matching similar flavours and that holds especially true with game. For red meats like venison and elk, choose a full-bodied red wine with robust earthy flavours, like Cabernet Franc, Pinotage, Mourvedre, Baco Noir, or Chianti.

Game birds like duck and pheasant can pair with a light-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir or Gamay, or fuller-bodied whites like Chenin Blanc or Chardonnay.

Recommendations: Cave Spring Cabernet Franc (Canada) Lammershoek Pinotage (South Africa) Henry of Pelham Baco Noir (Canada)

Mushrooms

In Italy, foraging for fall mushrooms (especially the prized porcini) is hugely popular. Edmonton may not have this longstanding tradition, though the fall does bring a wider variety of mushrooms to shops and markets, and mycological groups are teaching ever more people about all the ‘shrooms found locally. The earthy flavour of mushrooms calls for a similarlyflavoured wine: something that reminds you of hiking through a forest. Pinot Noir—especially Burgundy—is possibly the most suited

Pumpkin & Squash

Nothing says fall like the pile of colourful gourds that arrive at grocery stores and farmer’s markets in October. Winter squashes can be prepared in a number of ways; use this to steer your wine selection. For buttery, roasted squash choose a similarly buttery wine—you can’t go wrong with a classic oaked Chardonnay. Pumpkin or butternut squash soups are great with a floral Gewurztraminer (try one from Alsace); sherry is also a classic pairing with soup— choose one labelled Oloroso, as this is a sweeter style of sherry with rich, nutty flavours that will bring out squash’s earthy sweetness.

Recommendations: Benziger Chardonnay (USA) Gisselbrecht Reserve Gewurztraminer (France) Alvear Asuncion Oloroso Sherry (Spain)

wine to mushrooms, since it often smells just like them. Other good choices include Chateauneuf-duPape and Amarone (or a similar appassimento-style wine); Blanc de Blancs Champagne (especially older bottles) is fantastic with mushroom dishes.

ould Canada really be that much different if the NDP hadn't swept the Quebec polls in 2011?

Playwright Michael Healey predicated his 2012 work on this what if: Proud opens with Harper (Brian Dooley) delivering a victory speech on the eve of the 2011 election, after the Conservatives have won a tidy majority across the country. The story follows Harper through the months after the election, during which he is dogged not by an Orange opposition but rather an insouciant, headstrong, single mother MP (Melissa Thingelstad) who won a surprise victory in a "rotten borough"—a riding that was thought to have been a writeoff. She's the play's moral compass, albeit often a dubious one, and the voice of Joe Taxpayer—prior to running for office, she managed a St-Hubert (the Quebec equivalent of a Swiss Chalet) and doesn't see much of a difference between that and heading political committees.

Presented by local indie company Theatre no.6,

Proud lampoons our country's top level of govern- know over the past decade; his wincing smile ment in a way that smacks, admittedly and wor- is perfect, and his pontificating "I don't care" ryingly, of far too much reality to be completely speech feels spot on. Dave Horak is very good dismissed as satire; there's certainly a sense that as Harper's Chief of Staff, who's under no prethe play's political developments aren't very far tensions about the eventual fate of his tenure from how it all actually works. Healey's script is in that position. But Jisbella is by far the most pitiless in its depiction of politicians as a pack of interesting character, and Thingelstad is superb cold opportunists, with Harper in this role.

For a person Dooley does well in capturing the emotionless, who holds economics in the same place that a coolly-calculating Prime Minister we've come to devoutly religious individual puts their faith (his

actual "secret religion" maybe?), Harper sees the key to happiness as a debt to GDP ratio–22 percent, to be precise. It's the means to this end that are unconscionable: manipulation, secrecy and junk bills designed to distract from the bigger-picture moves, regardless of their ramifications on social justice.

There are flickers of hope amidst all this bleak political wrangling: Jisbella and her son Jake (Richard Lee His)—whom we meet in a couple flash-forwards—inject a humanity into politics that is otherwise completely lacking.

Code it as satire or only slight exaggeration; Proud undoubtedly stands apart from the rest of contemporary Canadian theatre for its unblinking confrontation of Canada's current political climate. Canadians should be having more of these conversations, both on and off stage—especially as a lot of the play's most sinister machinations feel like fact and not fictionalization.

with a nuanced, subtle power.

The frustration of the unknown holds the audience's attention throughout this tightly-knit story: Janine's behaviour calls for an explanation, yet one is not immediately forthcoming; this isn't a script that spoon feeds its audience but rather forces them to come to their own conclusions as if they had experienced these events in life, not on stage. It's a disquieting, and quiet, exercise in a very mature situation, with its beauty residing in its understatement of the profound: hugely momentous events are sandwiched between utterly banal daily occurrences; but then again, that's life, isn't it—where some of our most important encounters happen unexpectedly at a barbecue, during a chamber-music concert or a chance meeting in an airport.

Eleven Accords

ack in the '70s—when esteemed choreographer Christopher House was just starting to dance— the music of Steve Reich was already everywhere. Minimalism had become the go-to soundtrack for modern movement pieces.

"It was that group: Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Terry Riley. All of these origi-

nal minimalists," House recalls. "It was just so exciting, because the music was so physical, but also it allowed so much space choreographically."

As these things go, though, minimalism-as-dance-score reached its zenith and then tastes shifted around it; its presence faded from prevalence to rarity. House's own in-

PREVUE // THRILLER

The Guest will make you wonder about the stress a soldier faces reintegrating into "normal" life

funeral gloom still permeates the Peterson family home when David (Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens), veteran of some unspecified foreign conflict, unexpectedly shows up at their door just to tell them that their son Caleb, killed in battle, loved them very much. Handsome, consoling and very polite, David, who claims to have been close to Caleb, is quickly embraced as a family friend. He also becomes something of a fixer, quietly solving Spencer's work issues and little Luke's problems with bullies.

But a capacity for violence underlies David's actions, his past is draped in mystery, and teenage Anna (impressive newcomer Maika Monroe) is torn between having a crush on this stranger and suspecting him of something unspeakable.

VW: One of the dangers of keeping

a film as lean as possible, of prioritizing only what moves a story forward—things that I know are important to you both—is that character development can become secondary, yet my favourite thing about The Guest is its investment in the supporting characters and their individual quirks and attitudes.

Bacall's nervousness flitted faintly onto the screen in her debut (watch her fingers playing with the chair arm in her second scene or her pert poses, arms crossed, when not speaking, rather than remaining reactive). Her return, in the hardboiled noir classic The Big Sleep (again, co-adapted by Faulkner), has her acting much freer and easier in her sudden stardom— though novelist Raymond Chandler remarked that Martha Vickers (as General Sternwood's gambling, younger daughter) overshadowed Bacall in some scenes, so Vickers' appearances were trimmed down.

The film grips and snaps from the start; Bacall's flash, as Sternwood's older, more entitled-feeling daughter Vivian, is a little subtler, more refined even as her nostrils flare, now and then, like a feverish pulse.

She's more suave in her faint disdain, smoother in her sultriness, altogether more self-assured.

Tinseltown didn't seem to know how to best project her brass-andsass persona after that. Still, Bacall had a life-long screen and stage career, enjoying success on Broadway, appearing in some strong auteur films (including Jonathan Glazer's Birth), and working right up until her death. But what lingers longest is this double feature—it's rare for any actor's first two films to light up the night so memorably that, when the curtain falls 70 years later, those first flickers of fame still burn brightest.

beats work and which don't comes out of rigorous testing. I remember when Jessica and Keith first suggested we test You're Next I was really scared, thinking that our producers might be using this as a tool to push an agenda, or that they would just accept every single thing the audience said. In fact, they approached it exactly the way we did: some of these notes we can ignore, but if everyone is saying the same thing how can we address that? We just want to make the best film possible.

VW: I said that character develop-

ment is the thing I like best about The Guest, but it strikes me that, in a way, your antagonist actually devolves rather than evolves. If Jason Bourne is this militarily programmed solider whose intrusions of conscience or repressed memories gradually override his programming, your antagonist, by contrast, seems to have completely surrendered his psyche to his programming. You could argue that this makes The Guest a more pessimistic film, or you could suggest that he was simply a sociopath to begin with.

SB: But he hasn't surrendered his psyche—he's left the program and is now acting on his own initiative.

To the extent that the Bourne movies are commenting on soldier PTSD, we wanted to flip that and create a character with altruistic intentions but whose programming is such that, in the end, he's going to put himself first. When the bullets start flying, he lashes out.

AW: I actually really like what you're saying. I've never heard that before.

It's an interesting way to break down the character. A reverse of the stereotype.

SB: Right, like Universal Soldier, where Jean-Claude Van Damme develops relationships and a conscience.

AW: It's like the more you spend time around someone with this kind of programming, the more things are bound to get bad by proxy!

SB: The more I think about it I sup-

pose that is rooted in pessimism.

And I think it's safe to say that Adam and I are pessimistic about the military-industrial complex. [Laughs] AW: In terms of dealing with this PTSD narrative, I guess there is part of us that just thinks we might as well get a rise out of this! We're always going to find ways to screw up soldiers' minds and attack the world for no good reason—something we're in the middle of right now. Probably not the best attitude to have, but it's how we feel. I don't vote. I don't do any of that stuff. I feel resigned. It doesn't seem like as a filmmaker I'm going to change anything. Not to say that that's impossible. I recently saw Hearts and Minds and thought it was the best documentary I've ever seen on war. But we adhere more to the Paul Schrader-Rolling Thunder mentality. We make movies—that's our goal. If you get anything else out of it, that's a plus.

SB: There is a metaphorical, political reading of The Guest, having this guy who initially seems to have arrived out of nowhere to protect this family winds up becoming their enemy.

So many young people in our country signed up to "liberate" the people of Iraq. And we know how that went.

VW: This dynamic, with David initial-

ly seeming to be the family's friend, only to become their enemy once he feels threatened, reminded me a lot of Shadow of a Doubt.

SB: Adam talks to me all the time about Shadow of a Doubt and I actually can't remember if I've seen it.

AW: Really?! I think Shadow of a Doubt is my favourite Hitchcock.

struck by pangs of not-being-herself while pregnant, since she's dealing with another being inside her; then, taking care of newborn Lea for long stretches in the apartment, her maternal concern spikes into a desperate, growing panic.

The flick's smartly directed early on—the double murder has a lurid touch of Hitchcock and Leonetti, cinematographer for The Conjuring, makes sure the camera's often so close to Mia that not-being-able-tosee-what's-around-the-corner-yet is worse than what we do eventually see. But clichéd lines and predictable encounters, always signalled by the score, mount: many shots of the

damned doll; chairs creaking, doors slamming; a slightly silly-looking demon graffitis ceilings and shoves people out of doors; yet another riff on that Battleship Potemkin sequence with the baby carriage. The flick becomes more and more like the Child's Play (Chucky) franchise (Leonetti shot Child's Play 3) meets Rosemary's Dolly meets late-period Mad Men. And the climax is an overwrought bit of convenience that dispenses with the one non-white character, an older black woman who's ... wise beyond her years. Forget "Helter Skelter"—what the hell happened to "I Have a Dream"?

FILM ASPECT RATIO

The rarest of films

Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats the Soul a masterpiece of a romance She's a stout 60-year-old widow and cleaning lady of Polish origin. He's a tall thirtysomething Gastarbeiter, or guest worker, from Morocco.

We're in Munich in the mid '70s. They meet one evening when she steps into the mostly empty bar she's passed so many times, drawn in by the sensuous, foreign-sounding music. He's at the bar, dressed in brown suit and brown shirt, hanging with his Moroccan buddies, turning down the sexual favours of a fellow barfly.

16 FILM

"Cock broken," he explains in broken German.

The older woman orders cola and sits at a table. The younger man, egged on by his buddies, approaches her. They slow dance and converse, and the conversation goes on and on, into the night, out of the bar, into the older woman's foyer, where they take shelter from the rain and, eventually, into her apartment. Despite its seeming unlikeliness, despite the overwhelming obstacles of rampant, ubiquitous racism,

ageism and xenophobia, Emmi (Brigitte Mira) and Ali (El Hedi ben Salem) become lovers, and the story of their love, as told in New German Cinema wunderkind-enfant terrible Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974), is that rarest of things: a truly believable movie romance. It's also a masterpiece.

Criterion's just released it on a beautiful Bluray, with a menu featuring a beautiful montage of Emmi and Ali slow dancing.

VUEWEEKLY OCT 9 - OCT 15, 2014

Fassbinder wasn't even 30 when he made this, his 18th film, which was inspired by two other films: The American Soldier (1970), Fassbinder's early feature in which a character relays the story of a cleaning lady in love with an immigrant worker, and All That Heaven Allows (1955), Douglas Sirk's melodrama in which Jane Wyman's bourgeois widow falls in love with Rock Hudson's young gardener.

(In turn, Todd Haynes would draw inspiration from All That Heaven Allows and from Fear Eats the Soul to produce his 2002 film Far From Heaven.) Though Emmi and Ali's love is threatened at every turn by the stupidity and cruelty of friends, neighbours, strangers, family and co-workers, Fear Eats the Soul, echoing Sirk, ends on a sombre but more optimistic note than the American Solider anecdote. But I would argue that more than anything that happens in its story, what makes Fear Eats the Soul so moving, fascinating and generous of heart is Fassbinder's singular directorial approach—the same high style that you'd think would make the film alienating.

Few filmmakers have utilized aspects of theatre in any meaningful way. One of those few is Fassbinder, whose theatre practice was as prolific as his cinema practice. Right from the start, with those deep reds and yellows, there's a sumptuous unity of production and costume design, lighting and photography, that both bears the influence of All That Heaven Allows' Technicolor palate and at an expressionistic theatrical style—which creates a captivating contrast with the clean, muted acting of the cast, most especially Mira, a veteran thespian, and Salem, who appeared in several Fassbinder films and was for a time Fassbinder's boyfriend.

Above all, what distinguishes Fear Eats the Soul is Fassbinder's loving, counterintuitive mise en scène. In scene after scene Fassbinder's characters share the most intimate exchanges while his camera watches from a considerable distance, often with telling objects or framing devices in the foreground. There's such tenderness is this distance, as though Fassbinder is holding his actors, cradling them, in the centre of the screen. He would continue to use framing (most memorably in a romantic scene that becomes a murder scene in Berlin Alexanderplatz), but I don't know that any subsequent Fassbinder ever achieved quite the same feeling of belief in love as is found here.

ay, did you happen to miss that Replacements reunion show out in Toronto a couple of summers back?

Maybe because you were afraid that the legendary band couldn’t hold up to the hype, or that the passage of time would have worn away the raw passion you had for them in their heyday? You and most everyone else, buddy, but don’t feel bad: Bryan Webb of the Constantines also gave into that fear, and now he regrets it as much as you do.

“I loved that band so deeply that I have a 'Left of the Dial' tattoo on my arm,” laments the singersongwriter over the phone from Guelph, where he’s lived with his young family for a few years now. “I was definitely afraid of how it would turn out. It was actually the same fear I had when I was considering a Constantines reunion; that we weren’t going to be able to pull off the energy we needed to do it right.”

Granted, there’s a huge difference between the over-two-decade hiatus that the Replacements took and Constantines’ four year absence, but Webb’s concerns about the band’s ability to match up to its ferocious live reputation were well founded. All five had scattered to different gigs; guitarist Steve Lambke started a solo project called Baby Eagle and a record label (You’ve Changed Records) with singer Daniel Romano in Sackville, New Brunswick, while keyboardist Will Kidman continued to perform under the monicker Woolly Leaves.

Drummer Doug MacGregor signed on with City and Colour, while bassist Dallas Wehrle put together Deloro with members of One Hundred Dollars. Webb himself is now a father with a four-year-old and a job as programming director at CFRU at the University of Guelph, and has released a couple of albums of acoustic folk far removed from the mighty roar of his former band.

sages,” Webb says. “We knew them early on; the last time we played with them before we stopped was in a church basement in Brockville or Belleville, Ontario. That was really flattering and unexpected.”

“It’s been beautiful and kind of invigorating to realize that I can reconnect with a certain part of my youth, or at least the energy of it,” the 36-year-old says. “There really was this anxiety that we would try and do this and it wouldn’t be there. It’s been great, though, probably because we’re all healthier and more connected to the music than we’ve been in a long time.”

in the works for this, but Webb allows that he’d be very interested in what Constantines would sound like if they wrote material now, given the members’ experiences apart from each other over the past four years.

“I think it would be a great way to balance out the awkwardness I feel from singing lyrics that I wrote when I was 21,” Webb says somewhat wryly. “I enjoy singing those songs and revisiting my younger self, but there are new ideas that I’d like to express now that we’re going again.”

This would likely call for a revisiting of the band’s creative process, since Webb has been writing from his own perspective for the last little while.

“The Cons were very collaborative in songwriting, even the lyrics ended up trying to represent the whole band. I tried to be a mouthpiece for all five members in a way. The solo stuff has some very intensely personal narratives, so I’m not sure where the lyrics would go. I’d be interested to find out, though.”

Webb is vague about the future of Constantines, but he’s clearly enthused about playing with his old bandmates again. While they’ll never get on the road for months on end anymore, they seem to have found a balance that allows friendship to motor the band, rather than necessity.

“We had as much success as we could manage, I think. We weren’t particularly savvy at the industry or self promoting, other than playing live as much as possible. We did as well as we could have done, and better than I ever imagined. Every month that we were a band some new, amazing thing happened that I never expected. You know what? It was a great 11 years, and it’s been a fantastic four years since. Best of all, this past summer has been one of the most amazing of my life due in no small part to reconnecting with the Constantines again.”

Switchmen) along on various musical rides (Red Ram and Tallest to Shortest among them), while Khiron Jhass eventually joined up with the Dungarees.

That left drummer Kham Serk Yawnghwe, who spent some time teaching in China a few years back, plus guitarist Adam Rachinsky and lap steel wizard Louise Bouchier. With the gang all still here and willing, demand for songs from its backlog of two albums (Sunny Uncas and Drop the Ball) still unabated, it just made sense.

"We can still draw a crowd in certain places," Feduk says. "We always had strong followings in some prairie towns. When we gave it up it was because we had been road warriors for so long and we were just tired. Well, some of us gave it up; me and Sean just kept going after."

While Uncas shows can sometimes feature appearances from all six members, this one will have original guitarist Bouchier in place of Jhass, simply to reflect the lineup that the band long toured under. As always, Feduk promises that goofiness and general hilarity will reign, as it does at all Uncas shows.

"It's what we were always known for," he laughs. "We can't change that now."

PREVUE // PUNK

Gob Y

ou'd think he'd be a little bashful at the notion of appearing in the society pages of the New York Times, but Tom Thacker of Gob is mostly just amused.

The 40-year-old guitarist-vocalist, who started Gob back in 1993 with Theo Goutzinakis and a rhythm section that has long since departed, now has some cachet in that particular world as a rock star with a professional wife.

Hence, a featured article on their nuptials when the two decided to tie the knot last year.

"I've always tried to keep my personal life out of it, but my wife decided she would submit to the Vows section, and they seemed to think we were interesting enough to do an article on because she's a doctor and I play guitar," Thacker says from Vancouver, where he and the rest of Gob have convened before the tour that will see them in Edmonton on Friday. "I said 'Hey, fine, though you realize that you'll open yourself up to some trolling and shit, if that's what you want.'"

No word on whether Thacker and his wife were actually trolled in any way for the article, but since Gob itself was something of a troll act in '90s Canadian pop-punk it probably would have been karmic. One of the brattier bands

Fri, Oct 10 (8 pm) Pawn Shop, $20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $25 to come out of Vancouver, Gob made its reputation on relentless touring and a series of videos that showed just how uninterested the members were in being accepted by the mainstream.

It wasn't long before they were actually accepted as a viable commercial endeavour, and soon Thacker and his bandmates were being wooed by record companies and agents seeing gold in those guitar riffs.

"It wasn't really a surprise to me," Thacker says. "A lot of bands at the time took themselves so seriously, so that massive explosion of punk made sense. For us, we didn't know what do with our lives, so we booked shows, made records and just did our own thing. We never really thought we'd get on a major label or banked on the industry having our backs, but eventually we did well enough that managers and labels came sniffing around."

Thacker's personal stock went up when he was tabbed to replace guitarist Dave Baksh in Sum 41 back in 2006, elevating to full-time member in 2009.

"It's funny, because Sum 41 used to open for us back in the day," Thacker laughs. "Like us they just did whatever they wanted to do, and eventually they blew up. It wasn't all that surprising to

me when they asked me to replace Dave, because we'd done shows together and we knew each other well."

In the time between Sum 41 tours and recordings, Gob has continued to thrive, though recording has become a little harder to schedule. It's been seven years between the band's last album, Muertos Vivos, and the just released ninth record, Apt 13, though the songs have been there for some time.

"They were all written by 2010, and the intention was to record and release them as quickly as possible," Thacker explains. "I had 40 songs, which is kind of amazing because I have no idea how I could have written that many while on the road all the time."

Contrary to what you might think, the members of Gob voted on recording the songs that didn't sound like a typical Gob song.

"That's one of the ways in which you keep it fresh. There were definitely 10 or 12 typical punk songs there but we ended up choosing the ones that stood out as different. That's probably why we've been able to keep the band together, because we do stuff that keeps us interested. Well, that and the fact that Gob is fun as fuck to play in."

Bettye LaVette A

nybody got a spare few million dollars laying around that they want to spend on a rising talent?

That's the question that soul singer Bettye LaVette has for any potential impresarios out there, or just anyone who wants to help a 68-year-old legend like herself out with a career that's been a long time in getting off the ground. Actually, scratch the term "legend" when describing LaVette; while you and I and most music critics might agree that she has every right to be described in this way, she doesn't seem to, noting that peers like Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross have been in the spotlight long enough to warrant the designation. As far as LaVette is concerned, she's just

starting in the business that she first broke into in the early '60s.

"The odds are against me because of my age," she laments from the New Jersey home she shares with her husband and manager Kevin Kiley. "Every record company who has ever heard my music falls in love with me, but they're not really investing. They spend the money on Mavis (Staples), Aretha and Diana, because they have a story behind them.

What happens is I collect a few thousand more fans every time I get out, but I'm just too old to do it that way."

Sounds like a heartbreaker of a story, but while Lavette is serious about her personal conundrum, she's not as morose as the above quote would suggest.

The Michigan-born vocalist is actually a fun and lighthearted interview, prone more to joking around than bitterly inveighing against the decades it took for people to notice her. Passed around different labels through the years, recording excellent work that somehow got overlooked, Lavette only really made an impact when she was signed to Anti in 2005, releasing the acclaimed I've Got My Own Hell to Raise.

"You know, it was only later that I really started to get good at what I did," she concedes. "My manager worked hard to make me a good entertainer. He said 'You have a small waist and a cute booty, but you have to learn to sing.' I mean, I knew I had a voice, but I couldn't jump up on a stage and beat Sarah Vaughn down. It takes longer than 13 weeks to learn how to sing."

The three albums that she's made with Anti since her "comeback" have established LaVette as a cult figure among blues and soul aficionados, enough to give her a comfortable existence playing soft seaters and festivals.

She's known for taking on rock songs from her era, as she did on 2010's Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook, putting her own indelible stamp on classic radio jams "I don't think of myself as doing cover songs, I think of myself as being an interpreter," she says. "There's a million songs out there, and it's ridiculous that they're only done once. Nor does it make sense to me that anyone would sing a song like someone else did it."

If LaVette gets late-life entree into the mainstream it may be through her autobiography, A Woman Like Me, which she published with writer David Ritz back in 2012. Recently it was announced that singer Alicia Keys has taken an option on the book to be developed into a movie. LaVette is simultaneously elated and wary of the prospects, noting that lots of movies are "in development" in Hollywood.

"Everything has been a surprise for me in the last few years, so I'm grateful for that," she acknowledges. "It's not like I was ever going to give up singing; it's the only thing I've ever been able to do, and whether I do it in front of the President or for $25 a night, I'll do it."

FREEWILLASTROLOGY ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19): Situation #1: If you meet resistance or doubt, say this: "Ha! This diversion can't slow me down, because I am in possession of an invisible magical sword!" And then brandish a few charismatic swipes of your sword to prove that you mean business. Situation #2: If angst and worry are preventing your allies from synchronizing their assets with yours, say this: "Begone, dread! For with the power of my wicked crazy songs, I am the destroyer of fear." And then sing your wicked crazy songs. Situation #3: If you're finding it hard to discern the difference between useless, ugly monsters and useful, beautiful monsters, say this: "I am a useful, beautiful monster!"

Your kind will flock to your side.

TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20): In her poem "Advice to Myself," Louise Erdrich speaks of the human heart as "that place you don't even think of cleaning out.

That closet stuffed with savage mementos." I invite you to use her observations as a prod, Taurus. Now is an excellent time to purge the savage mementos from your heart and clean the whole place up as best as you can. You don't have to get all OCD about it. There's no need to scour and scrub until everything's spotless.

Even a halfhearted effort will set in motion promising transformations in your love life.

GEMINI (May 21 – Jun 20): I hope you will learn more in the next eight months than you have ever before learned in a comparable period. I hope you will make a list of all the subjects you would love to study and all the skills you would love to master and then devise a plan to gather the educational experiences with which you will reinvent yourself.

I hope you will turn your curiosity on full blast and go in quest of revelations and insights and epiphanies, smashing through the limits of your understanding as you explore the frontiers of sweet knowledge.

CANCER (Jun 21 – Jul 22): Three times a week, I take a hike along a rough path through an oak forest. I say it's rough because it's strewn with loose rocks. If I don't survey the ground as I move, I'm constantly turning my ankles. Or at least that was the case until last week. For two days, with the help of a rake, I cleared many of those bothersome obstacles off the trail. It took several hours, but now the way is smoother.

My eyes are free to enjoy the sights that aren't so close to the ground. I recommend that you do similar work. Stop tolerating inconveniences and irritations that hobble you. Get your foundations in shape to serve you better.

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22): American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809 – 1849) was ahead of his time. He

created the genre of the detective story and mastered the art of Gothic horror tales. According to the Internet Movie Database, 240 films have referenced themes from his work. British writer Aldous Huxley wasn't a fan of Poe, though. He said Poe was "too poetical—the equivalent of wearing a diamond ring on every finger."

Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect you may be at risk to lapse into a diamond-ringon-every-finger phase yourself, Leo. While I am all in favour of you unveiling more of your radiant beauty, I'm hoping you won't go too far. How about wearing diamond rings on just four of your fingers?

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22): Republican Jody Hice is running for the US House of Representatives in Georgia's 10th Congressional District. To bolster his authority, he repeats quotes by revered figures from American history. One of his favourites has been a gem from the sixth US President, John Quincy Adams: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." The only problem is, those words were actually written by country singer Dolly Parton, not by Adams. Don't get fooled by a comparable case of mistaken identity, Virgo. Be on the alert for unwarranted substitutions and problematic switcheroos. Be a staunch fact-checker.

Insist on verification.

LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22): "I am naughtiest of all," wrote poet Emily Dickinson in a playful letter to Maggie Maher, dated October 1882. In accordance with the astrological omens, I authorize you to let that same declaration fly frequently from your own lips in the coming week. Feel free to invoke other variations on the theme of naughtiness, as well: "I am exploring the frontiers of naughtiness," for example, or "You need to be naughtier" (said to a person you'd like to get naughty with), or "Being naughty is my current spiritual practice."

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21): "There's a way not to be broken that takes brokenness to find it," writes Naomi Shihab Nye in her poem "Cinco de Mayo." I suspect this describes your situation right now. The bad news is that you are feeling a bit broken. The good news is that this is a special kind of brokenness—a brokenness that contains a valuable secret you have never been ready to learn before now. Allow yourself to feel the full intensity of the brokenness and you will discover a way to never be broken like this again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21): In a competitive game show on Japanese TV, 13 people had slabs of meat tied to their foreheads.

They then poked their heads up

ROB BREZSNY FREEWILL@VUEWEEKLY.COM

ALBERTA-WIDE CLASSIFIEDS •• AUCTIONS ••

from below, through holes in the floor of an elevated platform, where a hungry lizard was stalking around. But not one of the contestants stuck around when the lizard came to nibble the meat; they all ducked down out of their holes and fled to safety.

That was probably wise, although it meant that the prize went unclaimed. Now I'm wondering, Sagittarius, about what might happen if a similar event were staged in your neighbourhood. I suspect there's a chance you would will yourself to stand calmly as the lizard feasted on the meat just inches from your eyes. As much as I admire that kind of poised courage, I want you to know that there are better ways to express it. Be on the lookout for noble challenges with goals that are truly worthy of you.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19): Director Michael Bay makes big, loud, fast, melodramatic action films, including Armageddon, Pearl Harbor and the four Transformers movies. The critics hate him, but he's unfazed. "I make movies for teenage boys," he says.

"Oh, dear, what a crime," he adds sarcastically. I love that stance.

He knows what he's good at and makes no apologies for doing it. I recommend that you cop some of that attitude right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18): While walking in San Francisco, I passed the Pacific Heights Health Club. The sign out front said, "Birthday suits tailored here." It was a witty reference to the idea that working out at a gym helps people get their naked bodies in good shape. I'd like to interpret the sign's message in a different way and apply it to you. The time is right for you to get back in touch with your raw, original self and give it the care and the fuel and the treats it has been missing. Who did you start out to be?

What does your soul's blueprint say about who you must become?

Home in on your source code and boost its signal.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20): Horror novelist Stephen King has sold more than 350 million books. But when he was young and destitute, still honing his craft, his self-confidence was low. His breakthrough work was Carrie, about a teenage girl who develops telekinetic powers. But when he was first writing that manuscript on his old manual typewriter, he got so discouraged that he threw his first draft in the trash can. Luckily for him, his wife retrieved it and convinced him to keep plugging away. Eventually he finished and later sold the paperback rights for $400 000.

I hope you have an ally who will go digging in your garbage to fish out the good stuff you unwisely discard. Or maybe this horoscope will convince you not to scrap it in the first place. V

sexual development, you imprinted on feet and erotic humiliation. You can pathologize your kinks by viewing them as rooted in the violence you were exposed to as a child or you can take comfort in the fact that there's no proven link between abuse and kinks. The violence you witnessed/suffered at home as a child may be an unpleasant coincidence, not a root cause, and either way, it shouldn't prevent you from reconciling the two parts of your adult self—the guy who wants a woman to love him and the guy who wants a woman to order him to lick her feet.

And here's how you're going to do that: you're going to get online and find the kink personal ads in your country and you're going to post ads and respond to ads. I know kink
