THE VAUGHTS GET MEDIEVAL ON ICS
Beth and Steve Vaught, who are not only fans of medieval history, but also reenactors, taught us a thing or two about that period in time and how films often take
shortcuts in terms of historical accuracy. We can all laugh now at films with Henry the
Eighth eating the big turkey drumstick…turkeys were not available in England at that
time. And a Knightly Code of Honor? Doesn’t exist… In fact, most armored men,
received rather undignified injuries as their un-armored bums got the worst of their
enemy’s sword. And what about the lowly squire? Usually he was wealthier than his
knight – armor, weapons, horses, etc. were not cheap.
Beth and Steve, despite your reservations about the presentation, we think you
did an excellent job! Thanks... and next time bring your armor!
ANOTHER CLUB FIRST
The top vote-getting film was the all-time cult classic, MONTY PYTHON AND
THE HOLY GRAIL. This was the first time that ICS enjoyed the humor of Monty
Python. And surprisingly, no-one wanted to vote “The Knights of the Round Table” as
our club song. “Do the Jellyfish” from THE STING OF DEATH still reigns supreme.
SHAUN OF THE DEAD PREMIERE
Again, courtesy of Steve Vaught, ICS had a late night sneak of SHAUN OF THE
DEAD. The film spoofed Romero’s classic as well more recent zombie flicks.
Everyone who stuck around to watch it enjoyed it immensely. Catch it in theaters in the
upcoming weeks! Thanks Steve!
WELCOME ROBERT OSTROSKY, RICK ARNOLD AND SAM DIBLASI!
It all began when Joe Plempel started a conversation with these three friends
outside of the Charles Theater. They attended the July meeting and joined in August.
Rick is a fan of DARK SHADOWS, Sam enjoys LOST IN SPACE and Rob is an allaround genre fan. We welcome you to the club and hope you will enjoy sharing your
love of imaginative cinema with us!
LIGHT THE NIGHT
It was really great to see Sue Feder attending a meeting. Once again, she passed
the hat for donations to the Light The Night Walk and we collected over $50. The walk
is important to her because she is a cancer survivor. We’re all glad to see you again Sue!
Hope you can make pizza night!
NEWS OF OUR NEXT MEETING
Our next meeting will be held on Saturday September 25th at 5:30 P.M. at the church
hall behind the Perry Hall Presbyterian Church located at 8848 BelAir Road. Take
Baltimore Beltway exit 32 north on Belair Road. Turn left onto Joppa Road. Immediately
past the miniature golf course turn left into the parking lot. If you miss it there are ample
turn-around opportunities. If you get stuck call 443-570-6455. That's Dave Willard’s cell
phone. He'll talk you in.
PIZZA NIGHT COMING SOON!
One of our most popular club events, Annual Pizza Night, is a go for the September
25th meeting. We should have plenty of plain, pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom to go
around. So, be prepared to nosh and be entertained by….
…GHOSTS IN THE MOVIES
Long-time genre fan Courtney Spies is going to highlight Ghosts in Cinema at
the September meeting. We should have some tough choices as Courtney is bringing in
THE (good) HAUNTING, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE and other classic ghostly
flicks.

NEWS THAT WOULDN’T FIT ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT HAD TO BE SHARED...
Two Muppets named top scientists
Muppets Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker defeated some top faves like,
Dr. Strangelove, Dana Scully of "X Files" fame and Star Trek's Mr. Spock and they are to
be voted Britain's favorite screen scientists.
They beat their closest rival by a margin of 2 to 1 and won 33 percent of the 43,000
votes cast in an Internet poll published in Monday.
Spock came in a distance second with 15 percent followed by The Doctor, from Dr
Who, who garnered 13 percent. Scully, the only woman in the poll, came in sixth.
"They are accessible, humorous and occasionally blow each other up," said Roland
Jackson, of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BA).
The balding, white-coated Honeydew and flame-haired, bulging-eyed Beaker created
an array of crazy gadgets on the popular television show. "They're the kind of scientists
you would like to be but never quite dared to," said Alan Slater, a scientist at the
University of Exeter in southwestern England.
The poll, gave the public five weeks to choose their favorite scientist from a shortlist of
10 that included Dr. Evil from the film "Austin Powers," Dr. Frankenstein, Frank N.
Furter, of the "Rocky Horror Show Picture Show," Dr. Emmett Brown, of the film "Back
to the Future" and Q of James Bond fame.
AND SOME TEAM AMERICA INFO GOODIES.
A movie coming out in October, this one has some fun factoids attached to it.
The original premise was revealed by Matt Stone for it to be a scene-by-scene remake of
The Day After Tomorrow (the script of which they were given before filming started)
using marionettes, and then theatrically release it on the same day (May 28th, 2004). "We
thought would have been hilarious but our lawyer convinced us we wouldn't get it
released."
They want you to remember that this movie is being produced using wooden
marionettes, in a style similar to the "super marioination" popularized in the 1960s by
kid-friendly TV shows like the one that inspired this year's Thunderbirds.
Talking to "Variety," Matt Stone said of that movie, "I hate these new new Hollywood
films that are CGI-driven. Trey and I loved that 'Thunderbirds' series because of the
artistry of the marionettes. It's amazing that a studio would make a movie out of and take
out the only thing that was about the series."
Continuing, Stone also said "What we wanted to do was a send-up of these super
important huge action movies that Jerry Bruckheimer makes." Stone concluded by
saying, "the subtle joke here is that all actors are puppets. This will probably piss off
everyone in town, and might well be our swan song."
Although Stone referred to his stars in that quote as puppets, most of the cast will
indeed be marionettes (manipulated by strings), rather than actual puppets (which are
usually manipulated by someone sticking their hand up... their rear).
They want to make sure you know it is Not Based Upon: and has nothing to do with
the comic book series, "Team America", published by Marvel Comics in the 1980s,
which relayed the adventures of a patriotic team of race car drivers who used their
various vehicles to fight crime, etc.

FLASH TO VISIT SMALLVILLE
A classic DC Comics hero will make an appearance in the fifth episode of the
upcoming fourth season of The WB's Smallville. The Flash, a fast-talking character
named Bart Allen (known to comic fans as the grandson of the original Flash) shows up
in Smallville with the ability to move with superspeed.
The episode will also feature the names of other characters who have appeared in the
comics as the Flash over the years, including Wally West, Barry Allen and Jay Garrick.
Former BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER writer Steve DeKnight wrote the episode,
which will air in October
-FELDMAN MONKEYS AROUND
Corey Feldman said that he is providing the voice of a regular character on ABC
Family's upcoming animated TV series SUPER ROBOT MONKEY TEAM
HYPERFORCE GO!
"It's basically Transformers meets Ninja Turtles meets The Powerpuff Girls," Feldman
said. "It's this combination of all the great warrior team animated shows of the last 20
years. It's got the core elements of all of them, and yet it's got its own original sparks."
Feldman added, "And speaking of sparks, that happens to be my character's name,
which is Sprx-77. Basically, it's a team of super robot monkeys that are half-robot and
half-monkey. They were created, I guess, as some kind of an experiment and ended up
being stronger and greater. They each have their own super power, if you will. There's
the scientific genius. There's the dumb one who's really good at doing things luckily.
Then there's a human kid, Chiro, voiced by Greg Cipes, who is the leader of all the
monkeys. And there's a female monkey, and I see that there's probably a love interest
brewing between her character and mine”.
“My character is sort of the Harrison Ford monkey. He's kind of the Han Solo in the
group. He's got the smart-ass remark. He's the tough one and the one taking the kid under
his wing." SRMTHG!, will also feature the voices of Tom Kenny, Mark Hamill, Wil
Wheaton and Clancy Brown, debuts next month on Toon Disney and also as part of ABC
Family’s JETIX blocks.
EARTHSEA FAITHFUL
Rob Lieberman, director of the upcoming SCI FI Channel original miniseries Earthsea,
said that the production tries to be faithful to the Ursula K. Le Guin novels upon which it
was based. "We've been very, very honest to the books and tried to capture all the levels
of spiritualism, emotional content and metaphorical messages in this," Lieberman said in
an interview. "I've tried to ground it in a great deal of reality, and we have things that we
find real and familiar, as well as the unfamiliar and the fantastic."
Based on the first two books in Le Guin's best-selling fantasy trilogy, EARTHSEA
stars Shawn Ashmore, Kristin Kreuk, Danny Glover and Isabella Rossellini in a story
about a reckless youth, Ged (Ashmore), who discovers that he has magical powers, but
who accidentally unleashes a dark power that threatens the world.
Lieberman said that film deals with one specific conflict. "Throughout the whole piece,
I saw it as having a duality of spirituality versus paganism and wizardry, male and female
duality," he said. "Kristin's character and Shawn's character, who don't really meet until
well into the film, represent two different belief systems in this world, and the only thing
that really saves this universe, the Earthsea universe, is the union of those two beliefs."
Lieberman added that he strove to distinguish EARTHSEA from other successful
fantasy franchises, such as LORD OF THE RINGS and HARRY POTTER.
"It's so uniquely different in terms of its space," he said. The Earthsea novels are not
specific in their description of the various islands that make up the world of Earthsea, he
said. "I took the names of all the islands that appeared in the piece, and I spent a day just
picking out a font to put on a piece of paper that would define that island, because I was
trying to find cultural differences between these islands, so there wouldn't be just a
hodgepodge of stuff. And then I wrote an outline of what life was like on that island. Not
from the book. Just from what I got from the book and what my impressions were."
Danny Glover, one of the stars, said that he sought to ground his character, the master
wizard Ogion, in the real world. "So much of what we consider to be the fantasy world
resides in our own spirit, in our own hearts and in our own mind," Glover said. "I tried to
bring certain values. What's inherent in this story are enormous values and ideals: values
around one's use of one's gift and the use of one's gift for the betterment of the world or
the values that deal with responsibility. And all those things are important values that go
beyond the fantasy world."
BLACK TALKS ABOUT NEW FARSCAPE
Claudia Black, who plays alien warrior Aeryn Sun in the upcoming SCI FI Channel
four-hour miniseries FARSCAPE: THE PEACEKEEPER WARS that she came back to
the role she'd played during the four seasons of the series with a new perspective.
"Different things were expected of Aeryn this time," Black said. "She was endowed
with a different bag of dilemmas. And it wasn't an Aeryn that I recognized. And from the
beginning, ... different producers and directors would say, 'This is what we want Aeryn to
be. This is who she is.' And so, once I finally sort of worked out taking all that on board
and trying to work out what to do with her, she just opened up."
PEACEKEEPER WARS picks up the story from FARSCAPE’S series finale, in which
Black's character agreed to marry astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) just before the
two were seemingly killed by an alien ship. Black said that the show's producers,
expecting a fifth season, had always intended to bring the couple back.
"There was at least another year or two left of that arc of us and the world of
FARSCAPE’S," Black said. "For it to have stopped when it did, it brought additional
attention to the show when it was canceled. So the miniseries has upped its value in doing
another four hours of television based on that momentum. ... There were so many
elements of the story that they needed to service for the fans to finish off this particular
part of the story arc."
Now that the show's creators have a chance to tie up loose ends, Black said that they are
looking ahead to a possible theatrical film. "They'd always talked about movies," she
said. "Doing a miniseries was always just a compromise to finish it off. ... There was a
theatrical release in mind."
Ben Browder, who plays astronaut John Crichton said that it was a little strange at first
to step back into the role he played for four seasons, but he got used to it quickly. "There
are things which were different about doing the miniseries in terms of the way we did it
and what we were doing," he said ‘It was weird up until the point where I put on the
leathers and walked on the set and went, 'OK. What are we going to do today?'"
Browder credited the fans with bringing back the show, which ended with a cliffhanger
at the end of season four. "It's all due to the continued fan participation in the process of
getting it back on air," he said. "It wasn't as though it was one initial reaction, and it went
away. They've actually sustained a campaign and sustained a community, which is based
on the show. It's really interesting, the Internet community."
FARSCAPE: THE PEACEKEEPER WARS will air on the SCI FI Channel for two
nights beginning Oct. 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
ENTERPRISE SEEING GREEN
"I felt really honored to be on the set that day," said Bobbi Sue Luther, who plays a
green Orion slave girl in an upcoming episode of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE . She
added that she had fun bringing back an iconic alien species not seen since the original
series. Luther said "And everybody really gave me props because it was the first time in
30 years that they've seen a girl like me. So everyone was really excited about that."
The race was first introduced in the pilot episode of the original STAR TREK series,
"The Cage," and memorably reprised by Yvonne Craig in the later episode "Whom Gods
Destroy." Luther said that her character is reminiscent of the Orion slave girls of the past.
"The producers wanted the original feel to my character," Luther said. "That kind of
animalistic, predatory nature. I feed off of men."
The landmark episode, titled "Borderland," will also show male Orions for the first
time. "Orion males are slave traders," Luther said. "They're green and they're huge and
they've got piercings. They're really magnificent-looking creatures. There was The Big
Show aka Paul Wight, a wrestler. These guys are six, seven feet tall. They're just
enormous. And then you have little me next to them."
For the role, Luther was airbrushed with multiple coats of green makeup, an arduous
process that took nearly five hours. But it was nothing new for the model-turned-actress.
"My fiance is a creature effects guy, so he's made me up before," she said. So that was
cool. I'm familiar with the process of airbrushing and prosthetics and things like that. I
was wigged, I had beauty makeup on and a lot of green makeup on my body. ... But it
really was so much fun and I really would do it every single day. It's a little different than
just putting on a little foundation, but it's definitely well worth it."
A relative newcomer to acting, Luther said the cast and crew were very accommodating
and made her feel welcome on the set. "I just want to thank all the cast members and
crew members who were on the set that day for all their support and the things they
taught me and how wonderful it was," she said. "It's not easy being green, but it's really
easy being on STAR TREK."

My Work Is Not Yet Done
by Thomas Ligotti
Hardback – Mythos Books.
Review By Andrew Kent
For the past 15 years, Thomas Ligotti has been an undisputed master of the horror short
story, despite a lack of commercial success. He recently departed from his normal style of
output, and penned his first short novel.
In 2002 My Work Is Not Yet Done was unleashed upon the world. Recently, I happened
upon this hardback from Mythos Books, and am still reeling from the experience.
Reading this book was like one mighty exhalation that began on the first page and once
concluded had drained all life, joy, and sanity from every last recess of my mind. This is
not "scary" horror in the sense that you fear for the safety of some generic protagonist in
proximity to some nameless killer. This is Lovecraftian horror in that the world has been
laid bare to your eyes for the first time, and all that is revealed is pain, strife, and an
indifferent universe blind to the supreme suffering that is existence. My Work Is Not Yet
Done is a triptych being composed of the eponymous short novel, and two short stories:
"I Have a Special Plan for This World" and "The Nightmare Network." The latter being
more a dread-inducing work of sci-fi prose poetry than a horror story.
The short novel is obviously the centerpiece of this volume, and it delivers enough
doom to last you several lifetimes. It is told in the first person by Frank Dominio, an
upper-management drone of some nameless corporation in some nameless city.
He is almost content to stay exactly where he is on the corporate ladder and not worry
about fighting for advancement, but life, his colleagues and the general corporate
structure fight against him at every turn. He is also a man possessed of great sensitivity
and self-doubt, and these traits are manipulated ruthlessly by his Machiavellian boss.
Before he knows it, he finds himself being squeezed out of the company and murderous
thoughts of revenge begin to consume his every waking thought. Where the story goes
from there is constantly unexpected. Ligotti never employs cheap gimmickry to fool you,
and yet every time you think you've settled into a rhythm or style of the narrative, it
suddenly changes directions on you but without ever losing its original atmosphere or
thematic aim.
As the story neared its conclusion, I found myself growing increasingly despondent
from the growing feeling of dread that started on the first page and never faltered for one
instant, yet I was simultaneously so propelled by the inertia of the narrative I could not
put it down for a second. It is a story that feels slow and plodding, yet never falters in its
relentless drive forward. Nothing short of masterful, and easily the best horror story I
have read in many years.
The two short stories do not approach quite the level of the novel, but are fantastic
nevertheless.
"I Have a Special Plan for This World" resembles the novel in many respects and is a
good choice to follow it up in this volume. Once again, it is told in the first person by a
man working for a large corporation, and once again it makes chilling work of the
orporate structure as a horror device. Ligotti's evocation of decayed urban landscapes
paralleled with decayed moral work places is chilling and the stuff of great modern gothic
horror.
I have never read anything else that can compare to these stories in terms of narrative
content, though thematically he is reminiscent of Lovecraft to a strong degree. The last
story is an interesting extrapolation of the future of mega-monopolies told through a cutup of newspaper classifieds, internal memos, and screenplay segments. It is a very
interesting piece even if it falls short of the emotional impact of the previous two.
Thomas Ligotti is undoubtedly an author you have never heard of, and that is a tragedy
as he deserves runaway success with the quality of writing that he shows here. This
collection is put out by a small press called Mythos Books and is hard to find, but it is
well worth the effort.
If you are looking for erudite horror fiction that is leaps and bounds above mass market
pulp, do yourself a favor and track this book down. I guarantee you haven't read anything
this good in a long time.

CLERKS SEQUEL PLANNED
Kevin Smith is making another convenience store run. The writer-director of DOGMA,
CHASING AMY and JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK has begun work on a sequel
to CLERKS, his homemade indie classic from 1994. The sequel picks up 10 years later.
"It's about what happens when that lazy, 20-something malaise lasts into your 30s.
Those dudes are kind of still mired, not in that same exact situation, but in a place where
it's time to actually grow up and do something more than just sit around and dissect pop
culture and talk about sex," Smith said. "It's: What happened to these dudes?"
The sequel — titled THE PASSION OF THE CLERKS — is set to begin shooting in
January. Miramax Films, which turned the original into a cult-hit after buying it at the
Sundance Film Festival, plans to distribute the follow-up.
CUSACK GOES MARTIAN
John Cusack is signed on to the upcoming project, THE MARTIAN CHILD. He will
play a science fiction writer who adopts a 7 year old boy who may just be an alien.
The movie will be written and directed by Menno Meyjes, who previously directed
Cusack in MAX (a movie that sparked some controversy as it portrayed a more "human"
side of Hitler). Meyjes is taking over from Nick Cassavetes, who was originally set to
direct. Cassavetes left because of "creative differences".
The movie is based on a short story by David Gerrold and will be distributed by New
Line.
UNTOUCHABLES PREQUEL IN THE WORKS
Director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) has been tapped to direct the prequel to the
1987 hit THE UNTOUCHABLES, and the screenplay will be written by David Levien
and Brian Koppelman (ROUNDERS.)
The film is tentatively titled THE UNTOUCHABLES: CAPONE RISING and will
follow the early lives of Capone and Irish cop Jimmy Malone (played in the 80s version
by Sean Connery.) Levien said:
"The film starts on the eve of Capone's arrival, and while Malone wasn't the most
corrupt cop, he operated at a time when every cop was on the take. Once he crosses paths
with Capone, he sees a level of violence and criminality that causes him to have a moral
awakening." No casting has yet to be announced.
NARNIA TO THE BIG-SCREEN
Production has begun in New Zealand on the film adaptation of THE CHRONICLES
OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE. This is the first of a
series of childrens books written by C.S. Lewis. There are seven books in all.
Budgeted at over $100 million, it will be distributed by The Walt Disney Studios, and
co-fincanced by Walden Media. Andrew Adamson, who just came off of SHREK and
SHREK 2 is directing and casting has been completed.
Four British actors have been cast as the main children; Georgie Henley, 9, from
London, who plays the lead character Lucy; Skandar Keynes, 12, also from London, who
plays Edmund; Anna Popplewell, 15, from West Yorkshire, who plays Susan; and
William Moseley, 17, from Gloucestershire, who plays the eldest brother Peter. Jim
Broadbent of MOULIN ROUGE fame will play the professor. WETA workshop is on
board to handle effects. December 9th, 2005 is the expected release date.
XANTH ON DECK
Hot on the heels of THE LORD OF THE RINGS, Warner Brothers has bought the rights
to fantasy author and punmeister Piers Anthony's Xanth books, to start with A Spell For
Chameleon.
The Xanth series currently numbers a whopping 30 books, putting Tolkien, Lewis and
even Robert Jordan to shame. Wolfgang Petersen and David Benioff, the writer and
director behind TROY, are set to produce, but they will recruit someone else to write and
to direct.
Petersen has always had a bit of a weakness for fantasy – fans of THE NEVERENDING STORY will remember that he was at the helm. Benioff has been trying to
secure the rights to the series for "as long as I can remember," he said. "When THE
LORD OF THE RINGS finally got made and THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE
WARDROBE got set up, I felt that the Xanth series was the last great one."
WAR IS COMING
Paramount/Dreamworks has announced a WAR OF THE WORLDS remake which will
be directed by Steven Spielberg and star Tom Cruise.
Dakota Fanning (MAN ON FIRE) will portray the daughter of Cruise's character in the
production, which is being fast-tracked to start shooting in November.
WAR OF THE WORLDS, a contemporary adaptation of the 1898 H.G. Wells novel
about aliens invading the Earth, is being prepped for a 2005 release. David Koepp wrote
the script; Kathleen Kennedy and Cruise's long-time producing partner Paula Wagner
will produce.
SERKIS GOES APE
Actor Andy Serkis stunned his KING KONG co-stars by flying out to Rwanda to spend
time with gorillas - to prepare him for his role in the remake.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS star is so determined to adopt the right mindset ahead of
the big budget Peter Jackson film, he's willing to try anything to method enhance his
understanding of the movie.
And actress Naomi Watts - who will play Fay Wray, the object of giant gorilla King
Kong's desire - is astounded by Serkis' dedication to his work. She says, "He's
extraordinary, the amount of research he's done. He brought back incredible tapes of
gorilla behavior that we need to get very familiar with."
LOSTBREED
Several years ago Clive Barker (HELLRAISER, LORD OF ILLUSIONS) had claimed he
was working on a special edition director’s cut of NIGHTBREED containing 25 minutes
of additional footage which would be seeing release on laser disc.
Since that obvsiouly never happened, he was recently asked if there were any plans to
make this happen on DVD. He said he wished he could but apparently 20th Century Fox
has lost all the extra footage. Lost it, people... Clive said if the footage is ever uncovered
he would still like to make that happen, and he also mentioned he'd like to make a
NIGHTBREED sequel some day.
TEKKEN ANYONE?
Charles Stone III has been named as the director of the upcoming video-game film
adaptation TEKKEN. The best-selling TEKKEN, from Japan's Gaga, takes place during a
martial-arts tournament, with the grand prize going to the fighter who can defeat
Heihachi Mishima.
Stone said that he intends to take the film's martial-arts action sequences in a different
direction from such popular movies as THE MATRIX. "One concern of mine is that the
fighting be good, because I personally think the fighting in something like THE MATRIX,
where a lot of people are like 'Wow,' just doesn't do it for me," Stone said. "I grew up on
the Hong Kong films, where fighting is filmed for the choreography of the actual art
form, whereas in America we photograph fighting films with long lenses [and] way up
close, and then the editing becomes the choreography." TEKKEN is tentatively scheduled
for release in 2006.
A BITE INTO SHARK
The Columbus Citizens Foundation attacked DreamWorks's upcoming animated
SHARK TALE movie as painting an unflattering portrait of Italian-Americans. SHARK
TALE centers on a small fish named Oscar (Will Smith), who tangles with the shark
Mafia, which includes mob boss Don Lino (Robert De Niro) and Frankie (The Sopranos'
Michael Imperioli), the site reported.
After a recent viewing of SHARK TALE at the Toronto Film Festival, CCF President
Lawrence Auriana released a statement saying, "In SHARK TALE bad guys are identified
by ethnicity. They have Italian and Italian-American names, such as Don Lino, Luca,
Giuseppe and Gino, and [use] Italian-American phrases of speech and slang, such as
'capeesh,' 'consigliere,' 'maronne' and 'agita.' ... They are creatures of rage and revenge.
The movie introduces young minds to the idea that people with Italian names—like
millions of Americans across the country—are gangsters ... [and] to associate ItalianAmericans with violence and vengefulness."
Auriana demanded several changes to make the film acceptable before it opens in the
U.S.:
•Removing Italian names from characters
•Eliminating Italian and Italian-American phrases and slang
•Removing physical gestures and customs found in Italian and Italian-American culture
In response, DreamWorks spokesman Andy Spahn told the Reuters news service, "It's a
family comedy that pokes fun at a number of film genres. It doesn't demean anyone; there
are no negative stereotypes. There is nothing mean-spirited in the film." Just be careful
when you are swimming with the sharks…
BALE LIFTS THE BATMAN’S COWL
Christian Bale, who stars as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming BATMAN BEGINS movie,
said that he's taking a fresh approach to the iconic character, playing him with a feral
duality that adds reality to the comic-book mythology.
Bale even uses one voice for Wayne and a different, coarser baritone for the caped
crusader, who comes into being after Wayne vows to avenge the murders of his parents.
"I just saw it as a way of him being able to channel the clarity of mind that he must
have had as a young boy when he first declared that he would get revenge," Bale said.
"It's very difficult to maintain that throughout your life. It becomes a memory, and you
know it takes a great deal of energy to maintain that sharpness of emotion. So I just felt
that everything about him should become different when he becomes Batman.”
“You know, everything, the look. The voice. And also see that he's able to have his own
life, somewhat when he's Wayne. Because it seemed to me that if he was just going to be
Bruce Wayne in a batsuit, first of all, that seemed a little bit ridiculous to me. It would
have been as ridiculous as any of us getting into a batsuit and genuinely thinking we
could go out on the town and intimidate people.” He continued
“I think most people would probably laugh, you know? So you have to kind of really go
for it in every way. And for me that kind of, you know, involved taking on a slightly
beastlike voice, as I hear it."
As for the newly designed suit, Bale said that it helped him get a feel for the caped
crusader, whom he characterizes as "a creature" that is not quite human. "I felt like a
panther the first day, you know?" Bale said, referring to the first shooting day he strode
onstage in full Batman regalia.
"I did feel like some kind of wild animal. I don't know if anybody else was looking at
me like that way. I don't know if I appeared quite as ferocious as I felt that I did. But I
really felt like everybody was kind of looking at me. And ... it makes you feel, you know,
like that, you want to kind of run and jump at people and beat the crap out of them. And
... you know, it just gives you this great neck and this physique that just looks
intimidating. It's all kind of aggressive. It's all pointing forward. It's very much like a
predator. And that was a thrill, doing that."
Bale demurred when asked about the suit's comfort. "No, I’m not going to bitch about
the suit," he said. Last month Bale was quoted in the British Daily Telegraph saying that
the suit was uncomfortable, prompting some of the U.K.-based wardrobe crew to create
T-shirts with a joking reference to his quote. "There's a quote from me that some of the
people have on the back of their T-shirts that says, 'It's hot, dark, ... sweaty, and it gives
me a headache.' Which is absolutely true, but there's nothing more annoying than hearing
actors bitch about their work and stuff like that, you know?”
“I'm playing Batman, for God's sake. That's pretty fantastic. I'm not going to complain
about getting a little bit sweaty. And also, they've changed it so much, ... so I hear, from
the first movie that they made. And so even though it may not feel like the most
comfortable outfit to me, I know that others have had it worse." BATMAN BEGINS,
which was on day 126 of a 128-day shoot, also stars Gary Oldman as Lt. James Gordon,
Katie Holmes as Rachel, Cillian Murphy as Dr. Jonathan Crane and Ken Watanabe as
Ra's Al Ghul. BATMAN BEGINS, from director Christopher Nolan, is slated to open next
summer.
DAVA’S DELVINGS
Not Another Fall Movie!
A DVD review by Dava Sentz
It is the end of summer and the usual string of cinema blockbusters has run its
course through the local theaters. Harry Potter has returned to Privet Drive.
Shrek is in a land far, far away. And, Spiderman seems to have spun his last web
for the season. Now, we come to autumn. And, while the cooler weather is a
welcome relief, it is also not without its share of disappointments. Not the least of
which is a severe case of 'Back to School' blues and the inevitable drought that is
the fall movie schedule. I felt it important to offer an enjoyable DVD alternative,
for all us lonely moviegoers, who long for something to do while patiently waiting
out this dismal time of year.
It so happens that, while at my local video store, I came across a find that is
just as unique as it is entertaining and funny. To everyone in search of an
anecdote to the thriving boredom of autumn cinema, I give you 2002's ALL I
WANT.
An independent film shot in Vancouver Canada, ALL I WANT depicts the story
of 17 year old Jones Dillion, (Elijah Wood) a self described orphan who drops out
of college and moves into a small, but charming boarding house. Once Jones
settles into his surroundings, his flirty neighbor, Lisa, (played by Mandy Moore)
soon takes him under her wing of theatrical allure. As the weeks pass by, Jones
and Lisa form a kind of unspoken connection over bottles of wine and
meaningful, late night dialogue. Jones is hardly immune to this actress from
apartment 2A.
There is definitely an attraction to behold. Still, he cannot help but notice a
mysterious, raven-haired photographer, (Franka Potente) who also shares the
second floor. When the heat between him and Lisa suddenly runs cold, Jones
makes a feeble attempt to enter the stranger's world. And, in spite of their violent
first meeting, the pair forges an unlikely bond, which eventually turns to
something deeper than either of them could have foreseen.
To those skeptics who will be quick to label this a 'chick' flick, do not despair.
For, there is much more to this movie than the sappy dribble of the typical
romantic comedy. Jones brings to his new life a wild imagination, (quite common
among us aspiring writers.) Through the recesses of his mind, we are able to
bear witness to a horrific explosion, a fast motion shoot out, and a heroic rescue
attempt by way of the old west.
Jones uses this thirst for tall tales and vivid description not only to compose
letters to the father he never knew, but also to agitate and annoy the debutante
lush he can so happily call his mother. Boasting a colorful blend of fantasy and
reality, ALL I WANT puts an eccentric spin on a story of desired love,
companionship, and family.
It may not be a new movie, but it's a sure-fire way to rid yourself of the poison
that is currently infecting our nation's theater circuit. Directed by Jeffery Porter,
this film makes a wonderful addition to any DVD collection.

Frank Thomas, one of the celebrated "Nine Old Men" of Disney animation whose
work set the standards by which all character animation is judged, has died just three days
after his 92nd birthday.
Born in Santa Monica on Sept. 5. 1912, Thomas studied art at Stanford, where he met
lifelong friend Ollie Johnston, who would become another of the Nine Old Men. The
group got its name from Walt Disney as a play on the term President Franklin D.
Roosevelt used to describe the Supreme Court. At the time, the veteran group of
animators had barely reached middle age.
Thomas' animation included the Seven Dwarfs weeping at the heroine's bier in SNOW
WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, Captain Hook dueling with PETER PAN and LADY
AND THE TRAMP falling in love over a plate of spaghetti and meatballs.
He did his first animation for the short MICKEY'S ELEPHANT in 1936, and later for THE
BRAVE LITTLE TAILOR. He also worked on PINOCCHIO, BAMBI, SALUDOS
AMIGOS, THE THREE CABALLEROS, CINDERELLA, ALICE IN WONDERLAND,
SLEEPING BEAUTY, 101 DALMATIANS, THE JUNGLE BOOK, ROBIN HOOD and
THE RESCUERS.
Animation historian John Canemaker said “that Thomas would go down as one of the
greatest animators of all time."
Voice-over artist Jackson Beck, perhaps best known for the classic "It's a bird! It's a
plane! It's Superman!" radio introduction, has died. As the spokesman for such products
as Sugar Frosted Flakes, GI Joe, Pepsi, Brawny paper towels, Combat insect killer and
Aqua Fresh toothpaste, Beck's voice was ubiquitous to radio and television audiences.
The son of silent film actor, Max Beck, he not only introduced and narrated the classic
SUPERMAN radio show, but played various villains and supporting characters, as well,
including Beany, the Daily Planet copyboy. He was also the announcer for the TOM
CORBETT, SPACE CADET television show and was the voice of Bluto in more than
300 POPEYE cartoons. He later performed voice-over for the Woody Allen features,
TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN and RADIO DAYS, and was heard on SATURDAY
NIGHT LIVE. He was 92.
THE LAST WARD . . .
By John Ward
I enjoy making lists.
It’s not entirely born out of pleasure, either. I write things down on Post-Its all
the time at work, to the point that I think I should buy stock in 3M. If I didn’t write the
lists down, I’d forget to get a text from the bookroom, or I’d forget to ask a student why
he was absent the day before, or I’d forget to attend the after-school seminar on school
planning. Then my students would fail, I’d be out of a job, the school building would be
condemned, Western civilization would collapse, and the Orioles would never appear in
the World Series again. So, thank heavens for lists.
But of course, there’s another reason I like lists. (Hey, if hauling my ashes out of
the workplace fire was the only reason, this column would be over and you’d probably be
clicking over to another website by now.) Lists are quick snapshots of personal likes and
dislikes. They reveal much about their creator without really stating much. And they’re
great for starting arguments. (So I’m feeling a wee bit testy this month. Sue me.)
Regular readers of this column have noticed my taste for list-making before. The
first one, well over a year ago, went something like this:

An easy list on a topic I felt pretty strongly about. I’ve been thinking about lists again
recently, and thought I’d try my hand at putting some down on paper. At this point, I
only have six or seven topics on hand, and I’m actually hoping the inspiration bug will
bite me on the derriere while I’m typing. This is called “flying by the seat of your pants,”
otherwise known as desperation. There really are no patterns here, other than a rather
tentative promise that they’ll all be related to movies, and as close to genre product as
possible. Enjoy, and feel free to talk back (or chime in on the ever-popular forum) with
your own ideas.
