Wooo-hooo! It'sdaa-k!
BY REYNOR PADILLA

Greeners, who usually have very little to
party about, took to the darkness to celebrate
the freedom of not seeing so well, when the
power went out yesterday just after midnight.
Instantly an emergency drum circle
fonned in front of A-Dorm. While drummers
pounded and dancers flailed, other less
exuberent Greeners 'Iooked anxious. They
huddled in groups, either annoyed or confused.
Some people had nothing better to do than
smoke. The cherries from their cigarettes
created red lights that drifted outside the loose
mass of candles and flashlights of the drum
circle.
Inside A-Dorm tlw perpetual motion of
the pool balls continued. Meanwhile, the 2nd
floor's more harried than normal spectators
shined flashlights onto the darkened green felt
below.
On a floor above, Orion Olson, Naomi
Mittet and Danny Oxman collected in the hall
around a glowing, flickering candle. "We
should have emergency back-up generators."
Olson said.
"[t's pretty scary that they're not
working," Mittet added.
"I think it's fun," Oxman said as he poked
at a portable keyboard, "what do you expectmy favorite holiday is Halloween!"

Suzi Ummel, Bryan Theiss, Edward
Gibbs and Michael Harris made their way up
the staircase to begin a power outage tradition.
They climbed the pitch black stairwell to scare
themselves, but Harris frequently used his
flashlight and ruinedJhe effect. More than
once Theiss had to scold him for it.
Once on the roof they could hear the
drums and see the swirling tangle of candles

Rallo~een

BY LUKE UNGER

Well. that special time ofthe year is here again and I can't
help reflecting on the holiday that brings friends and family
together in a lovely celebration of all that is dead and spooky:
Halloween. My earliest memories of Halloween (oddly enough)
all centel around the Catholic school and church which I
attended during grade school in my hometown. At these
celebrations [ always dressed as a superhero like Superman, a
pirate, or in some other crazy costume my mom would make
for me. I remember as I started getting a little older superheroes
seemed less interesting and the real heroes of Halloween
seemed more interesting: the ghosts, demons, devils, and
vampires. Yet, when I told my mom [ wanted to be something
a little scarier she said: "No way". She felt that all those spooks
were satanic or part of the occult. I didn't understand, but'
was young and had no choice to obey. So I continued to be
boring non scary things for Halloween. 'told my mom this
the other day and she just laughed and said: '" was weird then."
So, apparently she has gotten over her fear of Halloween. Yet,
many Christians haven't. Last nighton the news' heard a story
about a public school who was not letting any Halloween
paraphernalia into the school because Christian groups
claimed that Halloween items were part of the occult. And
they're scared of the left wing dogma in schools .. .
't turns out that to assert that the Halloween is some part
of the occult or Satanic is not just bizarre but dead wrong. After
all Halloween is just part of a Christian Holiday. Not that it
was originally a Christian Holiday. but it was actually co-opted
from the ancient Celtic religion. In the Celtic religion October
31st was the annual meat harvest and because it was the time
of the slaughter it was also a festival of the dead. According to
my contact James Staples, one of the owners of Five Corners (a
pagan bookstore downtown), the Christians didn't like the idea
of a festival of the dead, with all these spirits running around.
So, in order to purify themselves after this night of what they
believed to be 'evil' spirits: they decided to have a day dedicated

to the saints, angels and all that is holy the very next day. [t was
named AU Hallows Day by the Church, meaning all that is holy.
Even though the Christians didn't make it up, they gave us the
name we use for our secular celebration (or christened it). Just
drop the all and add eve and there you have Hallows eve; the
night before All Hallows became known as Halloween.
Another curious thing about the argument that Halloween
is a celebration of evil is the fact that, once again, the evil part
of Halloween was most probably created by the Christians.
Before the Christians tried to take over Halloween it was called
Samhain (pronounced sow'-in). Samhain was one of the major
holidays of the Celtic Religion: it was the last of the harvest
festivals and the marking of the beginning of the new year. The
last harvest was the Harvest of the Meat because the longer they
kept the animals alive the better chance they had at keeping it
from going bad. Apparently the killing of the animals inspired
a ritualistic festival of the dead. Like all harvest festivals the
people had a huge feast, but the one difference that made this
a festival of the dead is they invited the entire clan living and
dead. This itself does not seem particularly evil. But as Mr.
Staples observed: "Christians saw Samhain as a threatening,
scary time. Christians tend to see death as something bad." It
seems as though this reaction probably intensified Hallows Eve
as being identified with evil. The Celts simply invited all their
ancestors good and bad. Unfortunately the Christians sawall
death and therefore aU spirits as bad entities. The biggest irony
is that the Christians decided to copy the Celts and talk to their
ancestors the very next day. They just happened to call their
ancestors saints. The similarities are suspicious.
James Staples informed me that all major Christian
Holidays are centered around pagan holidays, but what makes
Halloween unique is that most all of the traditions that have
survived to our current holiday of Halloween are directly
descended from the Celtic festival: they have not been watered
down as much of the others. For example, the carving of the

HALLOWEEN from cover
pumpkins is directly descended from a
tradition where the Ce Its would carve effigies
of their ancestors in squash and place a candle
in the hallowed out chamber: this carving
provided the spirit a physical manifestation
during the feast and the cand le helped the
spirit find his/her way home. Even trick or
treating has evolved from the ancient feast of
Samhain. This simply used to be a practical
way for the farmers to trade goods, so they
might have a little of everything that the clan
had to offer. Every farmer specialized in a
different crop and each famil y would send out
their chi ld ren to go door to door to get a little
of everything. Finally dressing up in costumes
served two purposes in ancient times. First of
all people dressed as their ancestors to honor
them. Secondly, they wore disguises to trick
any uninvited spirits that might be lingering
about .
After James Staples filled me ill on all this
great history and evolution about Halloween,
I just had one more question. How do people,
who keep the Ce ltic beliefs alive. celebrate
Halloween? Since the Celtic Samhain and the
evo lved Halloween are so int ertwined there
really isn't that much difference in how they
grt celebrated. Halloween is a bigger feast for
Celti c based groups. but an outsider would
probab ly not notice a real difference in its
relebriltion. I gu('ss th e moral of the story for
me is that we should rccognize our common
roots. instead of being quick to judge things
that we don't und('rstand as being evil. Alld

is not just a word; it must be present in all our
interactions. She discourages those who are
tempted to "act out in an ugly way" at those
issues they find fault with.
Constantino reminds students that the
Socia l Contract is not strictly enforceable,
meaning that it is not a techincal se, of rules
that require disciplinary action ifbroken. He
sees it as an "affirmation of[thel values of how
we want to relate to each other." When he read
over some of the flyers, he was troubled by
their "personal and anonymous" nature".
In order to voice greivances in an manner
that is benefical and fair to both those with the
concern and those receptive to it, Constantino
suggests the Mediation Center. Not only can
they bring conflicting individuals together to
work out problems. but they also teach
interpersonal skills that can aid people in
talking with others about potentially difficult
situations. It is his opinion that it is the
responsibility of everyone to upkeep the
fundamental objectives ofthe Social Contract,
to maintain "conditions under which learning
can flourish-conditions characterized by
openness. honesty. civility and fairness."

Lee Lambert keeps
Civil Rights
workshops on sexual harassment and diversity.
He returned to TESC in JUlie 1994 to take his
curren t position .
As Special Assistant to the President for
Civil Right s, Le e's primary focus is
investigating claims of discrimination on
campus bas ed on racc , ge nder, sexua l
oricntation,
dis ability,
and
other
underrepresented minorities as defined by the
law. This includes students, staff and faculty,
as well as people who use the school's services.
Lee is also responsible for handling requests
for public records.
Lee investi ga tes claims of sexua l
hara ssment, a form of sex discrimination, as
well as trying to educat e the ca mpus about the
issue. The law breaks down sexua I harassment
into two types: quid pro quo and hostile
environment. Quid pro quo literally means
"this for that" in Latin. It des cribes an
exc hange between parties of either
employment or educational benefits for sexual
favor(s).
A typical scenario involves a supervisor
conditioning someone's ability to keep a job or
receive a pay raise, promotion or other benefit
ill exc hange for a sexual favor. A power
differential is most often in place, such as in a
facult y to student relati onship. But it also
ex tend s to administrator to student . or
administrator to staff or staff to student. The
harasser is usually in a position or perceived
to be in a posi tion to grant or retrac t
ed ucati onal or employment benefits. Quid pro
quo cases are th e most clear cut , but arc not
t he most common.
Most cases of sexua l harassmen t involve

2. Was it based on gender?
3. Was it severe or pervasive?
A co upl e of jokes or statement s,
although inappropri ate , are probably not
going to rise to the level of sexua l harassment.
On the other extreme, a one time incident, for
example sexual assau lt, can be severe enough
to co nstitute sexual h;,rassment. Lee uses the
three part tes t to determine whether sexua l
harassment has occurred.
Having sa id that, Lee is always available
to talk to students if they believe they have been
th e victims of discrimination, be it sexual
harass ment or any oth er type of
discrimination.
Lee suggests that if you have any concerns
abo ut a situation or person(s) that are
inhibiting your lea rning pro cess, to voice these

concerns. There are many people on ca mpu s
. -available to talk to students. You can come talk
to Lee in Library 3101 or yo ur faculty or
supervisor.
You can also speak to an Ombudsperson,
th ere are three available on ca mpus: Jud y
Huntley (X6180), Stacia Lewis (X6189) and
Beverly Peterson (X6655).
Lee concludes that coming to talk to him
doesn 't mean that an investiga tion wi ll be
conducted. He is available to li sten and
provide students with options for proceeding
with their concerns. He is not going to force a
stud ent to do something th ey arc
uncomfortable with.
Lee says, "It's your choice to make, " and
he wants you to be aware of your rights so that
you ca n make th e best choice poss ibl e.

Being the first installment of'The Mists
of Evergreen," a cliff-hanging serial with steamy
romance and dangerous hijinks, the perfect
thing for a dull lecture; but come now, don 't
let me distract you . ..
DISCRETION ADVISED!
In this episode, Yonnique Huffington
escapes his Siberian hole in Minneapolis and
hops a Dog Pound bus to Olympia. He forsakes
an enterprising career as a telemarketer for the
wilds of Olympia .
"I'm going to Olympia, " he tells his coworkers.
There's silence in the phone room.
Craggy Mehi'ntock speaks up first.
"You can't be serious Yonnique, Minneapolis
made you. Darling Dial Phone Marketers made
you. Are you . . . ready for a new paradigm?"
''I'm as ready as sauce!" he bellows. His
voice resounds through the room. The
telemarketers fall silen t. Several furrow their
brows, put down their scripts and stare wildeyed at him.This time Yonnique is serious.
"So Yonnique thinks he can get out of our
work-loop does he?" says the boss,
approaching. Her hair is laVishly moused, her
nose retrouse her figure petite. "Surely you
haven't forgotten that you flunked your
urinalysis test? There was enough THC in your
blood stream to stone a heard of yaks. Oh,how
you begged, weeped at my skirts to be hired
here," she laughs, turning to the other workers.

to do for a place that's supposedly devo id of
culture. Getting bark in my car I noticed KAOS
had faded out but 'Tacoma's Music Source I95" was coming in loud and clear. Alone and
bouncing to Coo lio, I really began to enjoy
Tacoma.
Dr iving along I passed a beautiful French
chat eau ... huh? Compelled to know what this
was I parked again and explored. Oddly to me.
it turned out to be a high school. This gorgeous
publi c school started co nstruction in 1891
originally to become a "grand tourist hotel,"
fo r th e passengers on the North Pacific
Railroad . Interior work on the hot el was
abandoned when economic times went bad so

beautiful old homes and buildings like the
Historical Society and Museum . Nearby
Ruston Way is lined by a waterfront
boardwalk. Lots of happy, sh iny people can be
seen jogging, bike riding and strolling past the
clusters of restaurants, parks and landmarks
along this road. This is also a
great place to view Northeast
Tacoma, Vashon Island and the
gray "Lorax-like" industrialism of
the port. I was definitely gaining
an affinity for Tacoma although
I couldn't help but be a little
nervous there too. I still couldn't
put out of my mind the stories I
had heard or th e fact that the
local radio station kept giving
hourly updated crime reports. I
fe lt as though I was missing
something. I had found the Yin ,
but where was the Yang? As I
stood at the water's edge I
reme mbered my friend telling
me about when he was growing
up on Vashon. His parents made him stay away
from the side orthe island facing Tacoma. As I
looked past the sai lboats toward the island , a
car backfired behind me. Absolutely believing
it was a gunshot. I nearly jumped into the
sound.
Division Street is just that - a division. I

had not purposely crossed the divide but
apparently the gods had heard my curiosity
ca ll and turned my car toward Hill Top.
Known to most as Tacoma's most infamous
section, I was shocked to see how close it
actually was from the occasionally cobbled
streets ofspifry downtown . Coolio's "Gangster
Paradise" took on a whole new meaning for
me as I naively traveled these neglected
streets. I felt sad that a city with the money to
refurbish as well as they had, could let a
neighborhood deteriorate to this extent. I was
also sad to find the source of the Tacoma
rumors.
Driving south from downtown out of
the Hill Top district it became finally obvious
why Tacoma had its replltation. Mini-malls
with fast food chains dominate the terrain
from here on out. Low-riders make their way
through the concrete maze of the postmodern jungle. Hair-spray thickens the air
already tainted by smokestack fumes and car
exhaust.
Through the International District,
where the smell of wok cooked food mingles
with the smell of the pulp mill, I made my way
back to the freeway. As I approached the onramp I read a sign that said "Thank you for
visiting Tacoma - An All American City." My
first reaction was a giggle, my second wa~ a
sigh. "That's true," I thought, "That's really
true."

An awfully
bad day for Ariel
BY ARIEL BURNETI'

I have my good days and my bad ones. On
good days I proceed as if I were an average
productive member of society, capable of
intelligibly expressing my thoughts and
completing even complicated tasks. On bad
days I behave entirely
different.
On those mornings I
wake up and find that I am
afraid to get out of bed.
What's the point of screwing
up this day as badly as I
screwed up yesterday?
Even the simp lest
decisions seem herculean,
getting dressed call take
hours. In the end, I simply
don the same clothes I wore
the previous day, because
it's either that or go naked.
The situation doesn't
brighten after my early
morning brain fog burns off. In fact, as the day
progresses I begin to feel as if some sort of alien
life-form has invaded my body, rendering me
incapable of navigating the world around me.
Everyday conversations seem difficult at best:
maliciously confusing at worst.
I suddenly forget 90% ofeverything I rver
learned and my conversations become twisted
games ofcharades as I rackmy brain feverishly
for the word "bagel" ( ..."You know, I mean that
bread thing. With the hole in it? Damn it, what

is that called?!")With each continuing screw
up I become more unsure of myself, until I am
no longer confident that I ever knew how to
tie my shoes.
My brain, which a few moments earlier
had been unable to recall my own phone
number, suddenly dredges up the memories
of every bad choice I ever
made in my life.
Guilt overwhelms
me and .. hal hal I feel
much better. Whatever
forces in the universe that
were conspiring against
me forgot one thing , I
thrive on guilt.
Guilt
is
a
comfortable emotion .
Guilt I am familiar with,
when I feel a twinge in my
stomach I know I'm alive.
("l still have to read that
book,
I'm
being
completely
irresponsible._.good, everything's norma I.")
If I have absolutely nothing to feel guilty
about, I'll invent something. I call't feel good
unless I feel a little bad about it.
It's sort of a sick thought process, I'll
admit it. Selfblame should be a deterrent , not
a motivator.
However, a little bit of masochism never
hurt anyone (no pun intended) and sometimes
it's the shock treatment needed to snap me out
ofa bad day.

" ... You know,

I mean that
bread thing.
With the hole
in it? Damnit,
what is that
called?!"

COOPER POINT JOURNAL

eve rgreen trees and unwash ed . pure anticap italism. It makes me want to rip off my
societal mask and mee t with these wonderful
people all a deeper cosmic level, to share the
innards of my soul. to really feel connected and
happy and maybe fight back those beasts of
angUish and solitude knocking at the door.
1just wanted to tell the world. here in the
voice of the world that is the Cooper Point
Journal. that I am one of the masses, that I buy
fat free cream cheese. that I bow to the
commercial Gods. I watch "Friends." because,
quite Simply. I don't have any myself. (maybe
because of snotty phrases like "quite simply"?)
I watch "Friends." at the peak of prime time ,
brought to me by the National Broadcasting
Co mpany and Kellogg 's (new) Sunflowery
Blueberry Morning cereal an d, in my
immersion . find myself a beautiful sexy
twentysomething whiling away my fun-filled
life in a lavish New York apartment with my
crowd of equally beautiful and sexy friends. In .
my real world, I find myself back in my own
chea p and bleak apartment. alone with my
roommate's forgotten and moldy pot of mac
& cheese. I'm too lazy to wash the pot, too
depressed to amuse myself with creative and
co nstructive activities. and way. way. way too
shy to drop in on the raging party thumping
through th e ceiling from my neighbor's beery
fl oo r. I'm a product of the TV generation. I'm
a TV-a holic. It ha s gripped me like a giant
mental King Kong. as I scream and cry
pathetically. "let me go. TV!" and it just cackles
evilly. like a psychotic fa scist dictator with a
huge army and and Goebbels himselfheading
an ex pert tea m of propagandists/ network
exec utives/D isney.
I'd also like to include a testament of my
faith in the TV religion to my ex-colleagues
from my summer job as a lifeguard. l'd like to
tell them all. unabashed ly that I do like to
watch "Baywatch," and that I tuned and tune
into the show so unconsciously and yet so
religiously because, let's be honest. I wished
and dreamed to make those heroic dives off
the bow of a huge yellow superpowered
speedboat to save helpless drowning victims.
I wanted member s of the opposite sex to
swoo n at my lea n tan thighs in a red
microswimsuit. as I casually toyed with the
rescue tube atop the lifeguard tower. In my
lifeg uarding reality. I never saved anyone all
sum mer. 1neve r even took my T-shirt off, and
I still have my same old pale and chunky lumps
of body. So I wa tch "Baywatch." and dream.

It 's a pretty harmless fantasy. Until the
commercial for diet colas come on. and some
TV-controlled neuron deep in my psyc he
sudden ly clicks, and ( immediately. mystica lly
believe that if I buy brand A. B or C. I will
eventually look like Pamela Anderson. It's a
primal urge. to want to feel beautiful, to want
to be perfect. and the urge is strong enough to
overcome rational thought and informed
intellectual snobbishness. TV fools the brain
into thinking that all humans look like those
people on the screen; after all, when most of
my human interaction is between me and those
pixelated dots of light-people, I begin to think
I'm abnormal because I don't look like them .
Let's face it: propaganda. especially that wellfunded and well-researched. really works.
I have sold out. I have succumbed my
person al will over my self-esteem to th e
overwhelming gods of the Hollywo od
aristocracy and the masters of our motivation .
the cosmetics industry and the home fitn ess
industry and the low fat food industry. I turn
my back on my logic and my freedom; I believe
that if I wash my face with a $5 gel cleanser
speCially formulated for my skin type I will
transform my phYSica l appearance from that
of Kathy Bates to Cindy Crawford. I have
obviollsly reconciled my irrational TV fant asies
with (my version of) rea lit y: ot herw is e. I
wouldn't be able to write this. Besides. I'm not
just into the babe-a -ritllc shows like "Baywa tch"
and "Friends". Some TV is even worth
watching for the non -fantasiati c co ntent. Th e
occasional brilliantly quirky episode of Star
Trek , the unexplainable and compelling XFiles. And the Simpsons, of co urse. are
consistent ly rewarding.
1try hard each day. when I am forced out
of my apartment and into co nta ct with my
seminar group. to reconcile my secret religion
of TV and co nspicuous consumption with my
ex ternal world of Evergreell societal norms. I
often fe el unable to spiritu211y and intellectually
connect with th e prudishly TV-repr essed
people around here. because of the pressure to
be above all that, to justthink it's really stupid.
to stay cynical and aloof at every moment. 1
sense that you all buy into it too. and just
pretend not to. So many people say, "oh, I don't
watch TV." As ifit was just TV, and not music.
movies, magazine s as well. It's like they're
shutting themselves off from me by their selfdenial. It makes me fe el lonely. I think I'll just
go home and watch "Friends".

There's plenty of hilarious cheese and a

th e screenings an intera,tive experience. I've
never heard so many ama teur comedians in
Illy life. ou tsid e of Mystery Science Theater

1000.

The raucous. enthusi~tic crowd also
canle equipped with patience. Scheduled to
kick off at midnight. the festivities were delayed until almost 1:00 a.m. by a mishap in
the projection of a film earliel that day. Our
throng of rabid B-movie fans showed a lot of
patience and good naturedness while waiting
in lines that streamed around the block.
Excitement was at a peak for the 3-D
experience of/aws 3. The traditional ticket '
, tub raffle became impossible in light of the
size of the crowd and the din they generated.
OFS staffers reso rted to hurling rubber
sha rks and the other prizes into this unruly
'iea of night's children.
The film itselfis qUintessential '80s bad
taste . Set at Sea World (why the family
waterpark gave this project the grpen light
escapes me), this third installment of a beloved horror franchise unleashes an even bigger shark to tear up the unsuspecting.
We are treated to, courtesy of 3-D
magic. a number of shocking effects that
see med to float right off th e sc reen. Worthy
of mention: a severed head up close and personal. worms crawling in and out of a corpse's
eyes and a 35 foot great white shark projecting into our laps.
Some of the FIX, like the blue screen
backgrounds of the underwater park, are so
fake they brought big laughs every time they
appeared.
The mov ie is laden with tacky '80s
wardrobe, some of the decade's worst pickup lines and plenty of the signature bimbos
in bikinis that marked this sorry period.
One wonders how a wooden Dennis
Qua id ever lived down his starring role in
Jaws 3-D. Louis Gossett Jr. offers a less than
subtlr rendering of the greedy park owner
who struggles with the P.R. implications of
each and every story development.
The film's real star is, of course. the title
character. As the packed house watched victim after victim chewed int o Hamburger
Helper by th e eternally hungry shark they
roarcd with glee. The Sea World dolphins
were th e only charac ter, we didn't want to
\ec devoured. largely becau'ie they had the
bl,\t pl' rf()nnallc e~ of the film.
O\'erall it wa.\ a rollicking ex perience.

Pulp Fiction, or that it's disappointing because
it's nota rip offof Pulp Fiction. But the truth is
that it's something completely different - and
it's proof that Travolta really has escaped the
clutches of mediocrity.
Travolta plays Chili Palmer, a loan shark
from Miami who issentto Las Vegas to retrieve
some money for his boss. Along the trail he
winds up in Hollywood, where he threatens
dim-witted horror producer Harry Zimm
(Gene Hackman) and then pitches a story idea
to him. Suddenly he finds himself producing a
movie in a partnership with Harry.
The implication, of course, is that Chili's
criminal background has prepared him to be
a Hollywood big shot. But there are obstacles
in his way, including his boss Ray "Bones"
Barboni (Dennis Farina), who's not too pleased
that he hasn 't received his money, and Bo
Ca tlett (Delroy Lindo), a rival thug-turned-aspiring-movie-producer who's moving in on his
territory.
Chili is the most likable crimina l to hit the

screen in quite some time. His talent for outsmarting, out-talking, and out-staring his foes
is phenomenal. Travolta is perfect with his visible confidence and occasional cocky strut.
Even when Chili is teaching low-talent movie
star Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) how to act
like a bad ass, you forget that Travolta himself
is putting on an act.
Hackman's Harry is a direct contrast to
the cunning Chili. He's not very smart and his
talent is for screwing up situations that Chi li is
capable of taking care of. After having been so
intimidating in recent films like The Quick and
the Dead and Crimson Tide, it '5 hard to believe
that it's actually Hackman playing this goof
ball. That makes th e character even funnier.
Unsurprisingly, Lindo often steals th e
spotlight. After excellent performances in
Crooklyn and Clockers (and soo n to join
Travolta in John Woo's Broken Arrow), it\ nice
to see him do equally well in a comedy. even if
he is the straight man. James Gandalfino is also
good as the stuntman sidekick, Bear.
Equally important is the intricate script
by Scott Frank. The plot - which is built around
the escalating war for Chili's movie and two different stashes of money - is complex enough
that once it wraps up you might find yourself
retracing your steps and trying to figure out exactly what went down when. It's a clever, satisfying story that never gets dull and never fails
to surprise.
Director Barry Sonnenfeld (The Addams
Family) handles the material with style. There's
also a great, organ-heavy soundtrack with
BookerT & the MGs, Medeski Martin & Wood,
and US3.
But in the end Get Shorty will be remembered for John Travolta.. So lose that image of
the young, polyester-clad Travolta in that weird
pose on the Saturday Nighl Fever poster. and
quit repeating thnse Pulp Ficti()n lines al.,Jut
hamburgers. John Travolta is a talented actor
and Get Shorty is a very entertaining movie.

To our generation, John Travolta used to
be known as that silly guy from Saturday Night
Fever. "John Travoltal Ah-ah-ah-ah stayin'
alivel Stayin' alive/Get it?"
Never mind that Saturday Night Fever
was actually a really good drama, or that John
Travolta actually was legitimately good in it.
The important thing, to people of the We're
Not Generation X generation, was disco and
the Bee Gees. Get it? They dance funny!
Then along came 1994 and Pulp Fiction.
This was no Look Whos Talking (which was
considered a big comeback for Travolta) - it
was an original, entertaining movie which
somehow managed to connect with huge audiences. A movie which made such an impression on people that it was discussed, debated,
and dissected so god damned much that right
now in October 1995, I can honestly say that I
will personally slap the next person who won-

ders what's in the briefcase. There was nothing in the briefcase, except maybe a slip of paper that says, "Pulp Fiction was a cool movie,
guys. But now it's time to move on."
So it is unfortunate that a lot of these
people just won't understand Travolta's first
post-Pulp Fiction film, a very fimny comedy
called Get Shorty. The problem is that the film,
which is based on the novel by Elmore Leonard,
has a lot of superficial similarities with Pulp.
Travolta plays a cocky thug who happens to
talk a lot about movies. There's a lot of witty
dialogue which could conceivably be mimicked
ad infinitum by annoying individuals too eager to prove that they enjoyed the movie more
than you did. There's even a loose connection
in that Danny DeVito, who was an executive
producer on Pulp Fiction, is a co-star in Get
Shorty (it's his third film with Travolta if you
count Look Who's Talking Now).
Therefore, it is very likely that a lot of
people will walk into, and even out of, Get
Shorty with the inane idea that it is a rip off of
