by Jan Smisek

The Evergreen State College swim
lealnS arc gearing up for district and
naLional competition in late February and

competition is achieved by posting times
..:quivalent to or better than the national
lluaIit1cmion standards in any meet during
the !leas on, or a t the Distric t
Chilm pionships.
Geoduck swimmers have three more
opportunities to post the times necessary
tv cam a trip to Nationals in San Antonio,
Texas ill March . With two meets
n;lIIaining in the swim season, all team
11I~'mbcrs will be swimming with this goal
ill mind. Coach Janette Parent has
id..:nlificd a group of Geoduck swimmers
who will also have the chance to qualify
lor Nationals by swimming at the District

But as 1 said 1 could be sure it happened,
1 can be sure it didn't happen
there is reasonable doubt
and reasonable belief
only, who catches the believer

Sl~allie Hnd Tacoma, as well as students
I'rom other programs at Evergreen, are
ill volved with the project. The students at
the Tacoma Campus were asked to
auditioll, but a misunderstanding as to the
locuLion of the aUQitions means Tacoma
students will not be participating in this
production. This step towards an activity
involving both campuses may pave the
way for a cooperative effort in the future.
"I think it's a terrific idea," said
Willie Parsons, a Tacoma Campus
Program Coordinator. "It [a play] is one of
the few ways to sponsor campus to
campus interaction: between students here
and students there."
Orissi dance is also incorporated into
the production. This form of Indian dance
is over 2000 years old, and was originally
performed only by women. The history of
this dance parallels the effects of British
imperialism and reflects the thread of the
play, as the sacred temple dance became
adulterated by the British. Nautch dancing,
the form of Orissi dance developed for

British entertainment, will be performed in
the play.
"The British dialogue we use for the
Nautch scene is all from journals ,and
diaries from British men in India," said
Jim Connor, a student in the program,'
"and it's all about how these British men
felt about these dancers, and how they
degraded the dance power of the female."
. The aim of the performance is to
start the audience thinking about how
British imperialism and racism effect
them .
"This is for the community, not for
an enclosed Evergreen audience," said
Kim Martin, a student in the program .
"We want to advertise everywhere."
"The second part of this project,"
added Eric Williams, a student in the
program, "is teaching what has been
learned."
There will be three performances:
March 5 and 6, at 8 p.m. and March 7, at
2 p.m. All shows will be held in the
Experimental Theater in the
Communications Building. Admission is
free, but reservations are required.

Response
Washburn
pleads the First
Under the First Amendment righlS
,mtl privileges granted to me as a
journalisl by the United States
Constitution, I let the Jan. 28 editorial
l:artoon stand as is .
Chris Washburn

confronted quickly and directly.
One final thing: did anyone else feel
discouraged that Washburn's cartoon
sparked eight response letters while the
morc serious issue of ongoing chemical
exposure in the Library generated only
two responses, both from the same
authors'! This seemed to confmn once
again the truth that we all know but none
dare speak: the real motto of Evergreen is,
"Think Globally, Act?"
TJ. Johnson
TESC Graduate Student

Cartoon is
unfunny, hurtful Rape is worse
CPJ staff:
Here's what's wrong with the logic
than scrawls
of your statement, in which you defend the
appropriateness of publishing the gaybashing cartoon of Jan. 28. The cartoon
was not a serious piece of discourse,
amenable to rational argument pro or con.
Thc cartoon had nothing to do with
"constructive dialogue," "dissemination of
information," or even "opinion." It was an
unfunny cheap shot at a vulnerable
minority.
I wonder. Is publishing this cartoon
a violation of the Evergreen Social
Contract? This document, which we all
agreed to as members of the community,
speaks of "freedom from intimidation,
violence and abuse" as one of the basic
rights of individuals on our campus.
Thc cartoon is uncivil, intimidating,
and abusive. It covertly endorses violence
against gays and lesbians. It promotes
bigoLry and hatred. You must think gays
are a "safc" target; I hope you are proved
wrong.
Barbara Gibson

A short comment
from Kenney
Dcar Gare,
You wonder who'll be offended
next? That would be you, as usual.
C. Kenney
P.S. Cool mural. Thanks for the samhain
- er, salmon.

Brain cops only
for PC speech
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the
reccnt outburst in response to Chris
Washburn's editorial cartoon in the Jan. 28
issue of the CPJ. After nearly two years at
Evergreen; I have come to understand that
the brain police, whose volume
disproportionately dominates debate on
this campus, are only interested in free
speech issues if it happens to confonn to
their politically correct version of reality.
If those individuals who so vociferously
raised their voices to attack Washburn's
cartoon are truly interested in promoting
understanding and equality among all
people, why do they remain conspicuously
silent in regards to the mean-spirited
polemics of "Mistress Heidi," who in
recent weeks has written disparagingly of
a variety of different social groups?
Let's face it folks: free speech is not
always easy, but the protection of it is
paramount. We don't have to agree with
what is said, but each of us must vigilantly
defend the right of individuals to exercise
free speech. This was the message of the
ACLU in its recent decision to represent
lhc Ku Klux Klan.
Just for the record, I'm in favor of
lifting the ban on gays in the military
(though I'm not sure why anyone would
wa nt to cnlist) and believe that the OCA
organizing effort in Washington should be

Georgc,
You stated how the people on this
campus were victimized by the protest
graffiti as much if not more than the
woman who had a violent sexual crime
commilled against her. You defined rape
as "an act of power carried out against an
unwilling and powerless victim." George,
this man is being charged for forcing his
penis inside this woman's vagina. That's
an ugly thought, isn't it? That's what rape
is. What you're saying is that having to
remove grafliti with protective gloves, or
looking at a man's narne in the same
sentence with "Rapist," is as victimizing
and demoralizing as having a man rape
you.
The administration and you, George,
didn't "Speak Out" on this woman being
raped, you "Spoke Out" on the aesthetic
beauty of TESC. Obviously, this is of
morc importance and concern to you than
the individual rights of women. Once
again, I ain disappointed in the
Administration and disgusted by their
ignorance.

Health Center no
help for fumes
I am writing in response to the toxic
Library fiasco. Being unable to study or
lise the Computer Center for fear of
gelling ill is bad enough, but it is time for
thc school and specifically the "Health"
Ccnter to face up to its responsibilities.
Aftcr spending several hours doing
research in the Library a couple of weeks
ago, I began experiencing severe nausea.
The very ncxt morning I went to , the
" HealLh" Center and told the people
working that the Library made me ill and
asked if they had anything that might
seLLIe my slomach. Very defensively, the
man said , "You must have the flu."
Knowing this was not the case, I told him
that the nausea had begun immediately
after studying in the Library. Do you
know what his ingenious solution was?
"Don't go in the Library." It's so
rcassuring to know that my health care
k cs are being put to such good use. The
woman said they might have something
for my stomach but the man contradicted
her saying that they didn't have anything
for me. Then he ushered her into the back
office to have a private conversation. I

hung around and five minutes later she
came oUl and told me that she could sell
1110 a bOllle of Maalox. She also gave me
an information shcct on how to combat the
fill , which I promptly threw in the
waslebasket. After mentioning the incident
ill Illy scminar, one woman mentioned that
shc amI several of her co-workers in the
Library had experienced nosebleeds, which
I hav.c had a few of myself since this all
started . But the most insulting thing for
these people is to be told by the "Health"
Centcr that their nosebleeds are a res~lt of
thl', '\:old weather."
If ihe school is doing everything it
can to make the Library safe again, great.
However, where the students' health is
concerned, it is time to stop shirking. We
arc not paying $30 a quarter to be lied to.
Kathleen O'IJryan

It's all in the way
you spell it

In the age of the spell checker,
people tend to do less visual proofreading
than they used to. This was apparent in the
last issue of the CPJ. In it, I found at least
three instances of the error that annoys me
the most: the improper use of the word
"it's." "it's" is a contraction of the words
" it" and "is", not the possessive fonn of
the indefinite pronoun. There is no
apostrophe in the possessive, "its."
I say this not because I think the
CPJ staff do nOL know their grammar, but
because Ulis error is a common one, and I
hope to remind the readership of the
correCL usage of the two words.
The Security Blotter (Mon, Feb I,
0908) incorrectly used "it's" when
referring to the roof of a car. The front
page article on the rally used "it's"
correctly at least once, but the end of the
article contained two incorrect instances of
the word.
.
To their credit, Greg Wright and
Beth Gcbstadt's articles both used "its" in
its proper place, and many other articles
contained "it's" in the proper context

During my two and a half years here

"Whcn ... will it be possible to pick up a

It was for this very reasOn that I

Faculty supports peer in college lawsuit
by Gonzalo Munevar

Recent articles by the OlympIan
concerning the lawsuit by The Evergreen
State College against Professo~ .Jorge
Gilbert may have left many readers with
the impression that Prof. Gilbert is a
dishonest character who has taken
advantage of his position' as a professor aL
the collegc to bilk the state of Washington
out of substantial amounts of money. Any
such impression would be as unfair as it
would be mistaken. The truth of the maUer
is that the lawsuit is an example of a
rather different and very serious problem
at the college; that Evergreen has fallen
into the hands of incompetent and petty
administrators hell-bent on wasting the
taxpayers money to carry out their
venllellas against facwty members.
These arc strong words, but I believe
that thc readers will find that they are
alllply justified after becoming acquainted
with th;! facts of the case. Let me discuss
lite qUl:stion of incompetence first.
The Administration has said publicly
lhal a profcssor who orders, for his
courses, books that he has written, and for
whi ch hc receives royalties, is in violation
01 the wnllicL-of-interest laws of the state.
Bllt the law says no such thing, it
11l":1I1ions neither professors nor books. The
Evcrgrccn administrators are using not the
law against Prof. Gilbert, but their own
peculiar interpretation of it.
That interpretation is wrong. In the
first place, it is the practice all over the
free world that professors write books,
order those books for their classes, and
kC('(J the (usually meager) royalties. In the
s('';olld place, such is also the practice in
the staie of Washington. I called the
provost's oflice at our main research
instilution, the University of Washington,
Hnd was told that, indeed, the University
has no ban cither on professors ordering
lheir ' ' l)wH \}ooks ' or in keeping their
royalties on such occasions.
There are many reasons why this
should be thc standard practice of the
profession. But that is not the issue here.
The issue is this: given (1) that it is the
standard practice all over the free world
and in the state of Washington, and (2)
that the law makes no mention of book
royalties, then why is this particular
professor auacked on such grounds? A
Icader may think that perhaps there is a
rule at Evcrgrccn that forbids this praclice
(for surely an interpretation of the law so
aL variance with professional standards
should be brought to the attention of the
faculty in the form of a rule). But there is
110 such rule at Evergreen.
No law. No rule. And to make

of money. The total amount of the
bookstore purchases is $1094. After the
bookstore's cut, the maximum amount of
royalties for Prof. Gilbert, 10 percent,
would have been around $90. $901 And he
did not even receive theml For this sum,
Evergreeil will have the state spend many
thousands of dollars prosecuting Prof.
Gilbert
The other side of this petty action,
however, shows a riaked abuse of power.
To defend himself, Prof. Gilbert faces
legal bills in the thousands of dollars. And
he will never be able to clear his name
completely, given the publicity on radio
and newspapers. For many in our
community, he will forever be that crook
who was caught making dirty deals with
books.
This is, by the way, not an isolated
incident In recent times the college has
witnessed a series of attacks upon faculty
by administrators, attacks that reveal the
same pattern of incompetence and
pettiness. The attack against Prof. Gilbert
is just the worst of the lot, so far. At any
college or university such a situation
would be extremely troublesome. At
Evergreen this situation could be a real
disaster, for our national reputation
depends on the devotion of our faculty to

our experimental nature. Evergreen with a
demoralized faculty cannot be Evergreen
much longer.
,
Nor· is this a matter of concern only
for the "radicals" on campus. I for one
disagree profoundly, and often
vehemently, with Prof. Gilbert's politics.
As
so many of the other faculty
members who feel dismayed and outraged
by this and other similar episodes.
People at Evergreen and in Olympia
tI1oughtthat, with the arrival of President
Jane Jervis, the wounds from the ugly
episOde' that tore the campus apart a
couple of years ago would fmally heal.
Most of them did not know, however, that
the .dregs left in power by the previous
administration had been lashing out against
faculty who had the misfortune to stumble
upon administrative incompetence.
Unfortunately, those dregs appear to have
commandeered the presidency of Dr.
Jervis. We can only hope that she will
soon live up to the promise that we saw in
her. For we need her to have her own,
competent team in place so we can all
work together to make of Evergreen what
it can, what it should be.

Spring program announcements
should be made in January
by Eric Drown
To the coinmunity:
By virtue of being in a program
ending this quarter, I discovered a problem
lhat I had not been previously aware of,
and wanted to share both the problem and
Illy experience as I attempted to address
thc problem with the community. The
problem is that spring program offerings
are not announced until over halfway
through winter quarter. What this means is
thm anyone who is in a program ending
winter quarter, who can't find a spring
prognlln tJley're interested in, then has a
IIlcrc four weeks to scrape together a
contract or internship (or take a leave of
absence). This situation puts a great deal
of undue pressure on both the student,
who has plenty to do with herlhis program
coming to an end, as well as the Student
Advising staff, who have to deal with
contnlcts and internships.
At Ule suggestion of my faculty, I
hrought this problem to the Dean of
Curriculum, Pris Bowennan. I want to
express to the community that it is

possible to take a problem to the
administration and get answers and a
solution to the problem. Pris Bowennan
explained to me that the reason for the
announcement of spring programs at this timc is to give the faculty maximum
l1exibility in determining what they will do
spring quarter. In this way, faculty are
able to in some way continue programs
end'ing winter quarter; if there is desire on
both their and their students' parts to do
so. Pris Bowennan did agree, though, that
there is a problem with this current
system. She stated that in the future she
would "aim for announcement of spring
classes by the third week in January." She
also stated that this would mean that she
would be requesting faculty to let her
know their spring plans in the first week
of January. I think that this solution serves
to help out those studenlS looking for a
progmm spring quarter and I hope that the
faculty will understand the need for the
small loss of flexibility. If anyone has any
cOlllmcnlS , let's hear them.

mallers worse, Prof. Gilbert received no
royalties in the transactions in question.
The state law would .frown. On il
ProfeS~r;S making deals with cOmpanies
in which he has fmancial interests. This is
one .of the claim~ made by Evergreen
administratOrs against Prof. · Gilbert But
the truth Qf the matter is that the company
that published the books, Two Thirds
Productions, of which Prof. Gilbert is an
officer, 'is a non-profit organization, duly
registered as such with the IRS since
before the books were ordered. Being
non-profit, it cannot pay any financial
dividends to Prof. Gilbert at the end of the
year, or ever. Moreover, neither Prof.
Gilbert nor his wife earn salaries from the
organization; on the contrary, they donate
time and money to it. Let me repeat the
point: the company is non-profit, Prof.
Gilbert had no financial interest at stake.
As for the quality of the legal advice
the college received once it decided to
proceed against Prof. Gilbert, consider
paragraph 5.2 of the lawsuit, which
charges that Prof. Gilbert "in the course of
his official duties... assisted another
person ... in transactions involving the State
when such transactions were under his
official responsibility... .. It is clear that
the college's attorney believes that the law
(RCW 42.18.170) forbids state employees
from helping anyone in transactions under
their official responsibility. But this is
absurd. Whenever any purchasing agent
for the state authorizes ' a transaction, he
helps someone, for someone gets paid.
The Evergreen interpretation of the law
would automatically turn all purchasing
agents for the state into criminals I
Fortunately our law is not that
stupid. Indeed, it says exactly the opposite:
"Except in the course of his official duties
or incident thereto .....
The rest of the lawsuit offers a sorry
spectacle of ineptitude: it makes reference
to statutes that do not exist, it gets basic
factual maUers wrong (e.g., paragraphs.
4.2 and 4.3, that Prof. Gilbert served as
the account manager for. a program
entitled "Liberation Theology" in late
December 1989, when most of the book
purchases in question were made. At that
time, Prof. Gilbert was one of five
members of a different program, Political
Economy and Social Change, of which a
different professor was the Laccount
manager). I am afraid that it would take
too long ' to mention even the most
important blunders committed in this
attack against my fellow faculty member.
Let me instead address briefly the
question of pettiness. The law of conflict
of interest is aimed at significant amounts

Happy Squadfrolickslavish Iy
the thing of it is, we were doing very
little.
.
Arrington: We weren't doing
anything, we brought out the tools...
Fezdak: Provided a canvas. The
radio show embodies a lot of that belief,
that the radio can be a canvas. The
scripting of such things, it mins it. When
we don't script and don't plan, it may not
sound as coherent and as clean, but there
is a beauty to it that's of the moment. You
get what people are really thinking and to
put that on the air is dangerous.
Fezdak again: We both share a
mutual desire for any listener to do one of
two things: to call in, or to come to the
station and we'll let them into the studio.
It's community access to the deepest sense
of the term.
Me (yes,I'm still here): So everyone
is a member of the Happy Squad.
Fezdak: Yeah, pretty much ... there're
no members. It's like the aqministrators of
KAOS, I said to them, 'you guys are the
Happy Squad, you know.' Everyone is the
Happy Squad and I don't claim to be the
leader of it at a1l. I might be the one with
the suitcase full of toys and he [Arrington]
might be the one with the guitars and the
amps, but it's just luck that we happen to
be that. They [you and you and you, and
even you] are the ones that do it...we do
too, we join in.
Tune in next week for part two,
when Arrington makes a strange noise • .
Also: notes on Tibet, bowel movements,
radio marathons and truck drivers.
Andrew Lyons is such a nice boy
and mannerly besides.

hy Andrew Lyons

The plan was to interview Arrington
de Dion yso and Fezdak Clamchopbreath,
the tw o co-conspirators behind this new
campus muvement, this 'phenomenon, this
.. Happy Squad."
In case you're not in the know of
~ u c h things, Happy Squad currently takes
Oil a couple uf different forms. The first is
a free form activity that descends upon
Rl'd Square around noonish each and
lO I'lory Wednesday.
The second form that Happy Squad
takes is a radio show by the same name,
airing Wednesday from 9 to 10 p.m. on
KAOS. But to leave it at that would be a
grave injustice to the highest order.
As I interviewed the two brothers , I
quickl y became more of a scribe then an
intervi ewer as they spewed fourth an
~lrsen,,1 o/' Happy Squad philosophy,
ancient Tibetan knowledge, and other
va rious noi ses .. .
I start my tape recorder: "Feb. 1,
:n o, third floor CAB, Happy Squad
interview , take one."
Feldak: Formal, huh?
Me: Yeah, sure, I guess.
Fe/.dak: Wow! Can we call you
Dick Tracy from now on?
Me: Uh, sure. I called this thing [the
tape recorder] Diane for about a year after
Twin Peaks.
Fezdak: You mean that guy was
talking to his wpe recorder? He didn't
have a friend named Diane?
(general unrequited laughter)
Me: How would you describe the
Happy Squad?
Fezdak: The Happy Squad is a lot
like a blender, like going into a laboratory
and just mixing a bunch of things in. You
don't know the reaction, but you know
what you're putting in. If you put in some
sodium chloride and some hydrochloric
acid, it's going to be a serious, crazy
fucking reaction; there's going to be fire
and smoke and maybe some death.
Me: Exactly how did the Happy
Squad come to birth?
Feldak: Well, my brother and I
have been wanting to do a radio show for
a long time and we had a lot of ideas, ever
since we listened to the radio as kids. But
the Happy Squad is also more than a radio
show. The application of the ideas of
Happy Squad as a radio show comes from
the mutua1 desire to innovate, to do
actively. Not to talk about doing actively,
not to plan to do actively, but to go out

and simply do, to embrace activity as an
art. The s~neity of it all. Some one
said last nigh~ be chaotic, let's be
spontaneous.' You can't 'let's be' either of
those things because that contradicts what
it is. So we simply do, in the present
tense. We don't plan and that is the nature
of the radio show, to be relatively
unplanned and spontaneous, to break down
the walls of professionalism that
accompanies radio. He speaks fervently, a
tear develops.
Arrington: It [professionalism]
divides the listener from the programmer.
Fezdak: Everyone is a programmer
on the Happy Squad. It's active/interactive
radio and that is the nature of the Happy
Squad as a way of life.
Arrington: You know, it's funny to
do an interview for a newspaper article
because every thing you say could appear
in quotes.
(Just like this.)
Fezdak: And that kind of frightens
the pants off me.
Arrington: Because we have to say
something really eloquenl...but we're not
going to.
Fezdak: Yeah, we refuse to be
eloquent, or at least...
Arrington: Coherent?
Fezdak: Yeah, coherent.
But indeed, the radio side of Happy
Squad does not encompass its full
potential. Wednesday afternoon on Red
Square, one cannot only hear Happy

Fezdak: That activity just takes the
form of doing; of taking objects and
taking actions into your body and just
working, and doing, not being worried, not
being concerned, not fighting for a cause.

US and return to Africa.
In 1852, Delaney wrote The Desliny
ofthe Colored Race . In the book, Delaney
asked African-Americans to seriously
reflect on their status in the US. "We are
politically ... a1iens to the laws and politica1
priveleges of the country. These are truths
- fixed facts, that quaint theory and
exhausted moralising, are impregnable
to, and fa1l harmlessly before."
Delaney's progressive ideas are
startling in light of the context of preCivil War America. He wrote, "Nopeople
are ever elevated above the condition of
their females.. hence, the condition of the
mother determines the condition of the

In his time, Delaney's ideas were the

Pennsylvania. Delaney was the grandson of
slaves and is credited by some as the first

After the passage of the Fugitive Slave
Act in 1850 (which allowed for the arrest of
African-Americans under any circumstance),
Delancy concluded that racism and slavery
were written into the laws and the moral

that for that reason, the country could never

BI.ue Velveeta by Molly McCloy

SNIPER
TRI-STAR PICTURES
LACEY CINEMAS
Brad Watkins
I was bored. [ was also depressed,
and in dire need of some excitement in my
Ii r~. I thought of the most mindless movie
I (;o uld possibly see right now, so I
tkcidcd to go see the new Tom Berenger
film Sniper. Fortunately, my wishes were
fullilled, because I got exactly what I
wanted oul of it. This is a movie full of
didles and buddy-buddy themes.
Tom Berenger plays a professional
sniper for the military, whose normal job
is to go out into the jungles and kill
unfriendlies. Billy Zane plays the guy's
spotter, a man who actually hates to
lllurder. The story takes place in Panama.
I t:an't remember the character names, but
it doesn't really maller.
The premise of the story is very
simple: their mission is to assassinate the
leader of a military coup in Panama before
the elecLions can begin. Beyond that, the
story has nothing else going for it.
However, my imaginaLion came up with
some possible solutions. Please read on ...
In come the usual Hollywood
diches: comradeship, honor, right/wrong,
etc. To make matters worse, there are at
least three large chunks of the movie
which obviously have been cut from the
film .
Take, for example, the following:
Billy Zane runs through the jungle and
suddenly appears at the ocean. The cut is
so obvious that it really throws the viewer.
Also, both characters spend half their
time trying to kill each othe~ because each
thinks the other is crazy. Then, surprise,
they somehow make up, and show a
tremendous comradeship towards one
another.

the jungle sometimes ... Tom Berenger and Billy Zane

try to pretend they're in a different, better film. photo courtesy of Tri-Star Pictures.

Finally, I think Tom Berenger's
character was meant to die at some point,
but in Hollywood we must always expect
a happy ending. Since the movie is two
hOllrs long, I assume there were probably
20 to 30 minutes cut from the film.
Now, during these amusing points in
the film, my wild imagination began to
think of how fascinating it would be for
th ese two men to admit homosexual
feelings toward each other. That would
ex plain why they hate each other so much,
since they arc hiding such repressed
feelings. In so doing, the makers of the
film could demonstrate the reasonable
act:eptance of gays in the military. This
would be done by emphasizing how the
ROinan Army was so powerful because a
soldier was often guarding his lover's
back. In addition, this would explain why
they leave the movie respecting each

other. Who knows, perhaps it few
passionate love scenes out in the bush, or
somc new uses for a bolt action rifle could
be . incOlyorated for. stronger impact.
BeSides, It can get qUite lonely out in the
jungle sometimes.
Unfortunately, most of the people in
the audience looked like Rambo freaks
from hell, at least while I was there. I

Stentz, from page 8
Regarding new musicians, Stentz
,ay, tital, " they bring a ncw approach to
Ih.' I'u icings, internalizing and feeling the
IIlllsie, listelling to the self, playing who
lit.'), really arc. Jazz is a communication,
sp~akillg to each other." That is what the
aut\icllt:c gets: sheer sincerity between
everyone.
Stentz is a most remarkablc woman
- slle docs many jobs and remains herself

. think such a blunt effort would have
r.hocked their delicate sensibilities. I mean,
look at it philosophically: the mm could
have been extremely controversial right
now using such an explosive and
provocative concept People would have
. come from miles to see what all the
excitement was about, and the studio could
have :made lots of money in the process;
well - at least for two weeks.
Oh well, it's not the first
circumstance where Hollywood has blown
a great opportunity. Instead, . what you
have is just another adventure movie that
. shall eventually end up lost in a video
store someplace.
Sniper's cinematography is state-ofthe-art, very crisp and clean. Any director .
of phOlography will tell you that jungle
shooting is extremely difficult, not to
mention hard on the equipment. There are
some very satisfying visual effects through
gun scopes of bullets ripping through air.
The bad dialogue alone will leave
you chuckling for several hours at least.
Go see this movie, and discover for
yourself how you might fill in the gaps of
this pointless mm.
Brad Watkins believes that most
people just aren't honest with themselves.
He still can't find the ultimate in
excitement, either.
