Limite.d arming begins today
by David Scheer
Staff writer

Evergreen police officers Tammi St retch and
Bob McBride will strap guns to their hips this
eveni ng after reporting to work, and for the first
time in Evergreen history. campus police will have
access to firearms while on duty.
As of today limited arming is official, says
Evergre.en police chi ef Steve Hunt sberry. Hi s
announcement followed a memo issued yesterday
from college President]anejervis outlining a bri ef
history of arming and stating that she had given
the final go-ahead for guns.
The arming of Police Services - now two
years in the making - has encompassed campus·
wide debate, protest, and for last 18 months, the
training and revamping of Evergreen 's police force.
In the future , campus police will carry .40
caliber Glock handguns daily between 6 p.m . and
8 a.m. During oth er hours, they will keep them
nearby, either at the office or in patrol ~r lock
boxes.
Officers will also the carry the guns as they
deem necessa ry, like when responding to calls
about drugs, assaults or suspicious persons, sa id
Huntsberry.
Some on the force are taking the two·year
shift in stride. "It will be just another day of work,"
said officer Stretch last night.
Student opinions are still forming .
"Everyone that I've interacted with has been
Lipset ' with [the arming

ann ouncement I." said Sonja SivesinJ , a former co·
coordinator of th e Evergreen Politica l Information
Center.
Two years ago, Sivesind helped orga ni ze
student act ions in opposition to the arming of
campus police. She says that since then she and
others have checked with sc hool officials
periodically for updates on the arming process. She
was surprised that yesterday the precise arming
date was announced with only 24·hours notice.
The arming issue isn't dead . sa id Sivesind.
While new students may not be aware of the
debate over arming, people who've been around
still list it among Evergreen's most important and
controversial events, she said.
"Some people are probably totally ready to
get up and protest," she said - but they are also
wondering ifit's a worthwhile campaign . '" think
that there's the attitude that th ey're going to [arm l
anyway," she said. "Past records don't show that
there's been any consideration to student input."
Oth,ers st udents believe armin g is a
necessary step.
"The cops here have proven themselves to be
roo 1and even-tempered," said Patrick Mouton, a
co-coordinator of Umoja: St uden ts of African
Descent.
Many people at Evergreen come from places
wlle re guns are n't needed, he noted , but at
Eve rgreen gun s are needed to protect th e
community from some people who come from off
ca mpus.
"People need a reality check," he said.

Blood drive proves plentiful Fi.nancial
A I d W 0 rks
This sign out on Red Sq ua re Tuesday, beckoned donors inside to the
Library lobby to give blood .
Below, Evergreen grad Monica Bradfield (righ t) steri lizes fourth- year
student Clair Leppa's (reclined, left) arm before gently inserting a needle
into one of her vein s to collect a pint of blood. Leppa ~n d around 100 other
students, staff, and facu lty donated blood Tuesday in the Library lobby as
pa rt of the Puget Sound Blood Center's blood drive.
Prospective donators filled out a questionnaire, had their blood
pressure and temperature taken, and had their fingers pricked to draw a
small amount of blood to test for anemia before they reclined on the fo ld
away beds and began donating. It took about 10 minute s to collect an
. entire pint.
Afterwards, donators were treated to cookies and crackers, along
with apple and tomato juices to replenish lost fluid volume. Many left with
an "I Gave Blood Today" sticker or a ''I'm a Blood Donor " license plate holder.
Puget Sound Blood Center usually conducts blood drives at
Evergreen about once a quarter. They should be back sometime this winter.
Puget Sound Blood Center is an independent, nonprofit community
resource which provides blood, tissue, and laboratory services in Western
Washington and the Northwest. Each weekday, the Center needs almost
700 people to donate blood to meet the requirements of patients in the
community.
The Center needs volunteers for their Olympia office on the
Eastside. Those interested should contact Dorinda Kline at 1-800-266-4033

This fall's mad rush to pay tuition at the
last moment left many students frustrated about
the financial aid process. Some students have
only recently received their loan payme~ts and
were forced to take out emergency loans. But
with two new co unse lors, a new com puter
system, and a new director, Marla Skeeley, the
Financial Aid office is working towards more
open communicatjon in student affairs.
Students who want financial aid for Fall
quarter are encouraged to apply before March.
When students don't meet this deadlin e,
problems regarding their awards are likely to
arise. But besides turning in the forms late, there
are many simple mistakes th at can delay a
student's award payment.
"There is a long time between beginning
the request for aid and when the student receives
the money,' said Laura Grabhorn, Financial Aid
cou nselor. "There are also a lot of honest errors
on th e forms. There are a lot of rules to
remember, and a lot of things that can happen
along the way,"
Student errors can be as simple as using
blue instead of black ink, or even fo rgetting to
sign a form. Ke nnet h Delore}" second yea r
student. worked in the financial aid office from
Sept.l 996 to Sept.l 997, during which he way
such errors and how they were handled with the
changing staff.
"Studen ts do a lot of stupid things," said
Delorey, "th e financial aid staff lays dOlVn
everything step by step, and if yo u have any
questions, all }'ou have to do is call. There is no
reaso n for any problems."

But problems still arise for students like
Keith Weaver, who is f1nis.hing his last year at
Evergreen. According to Weaver, he was never
informed of any mistake on his part, but he still
didn't receive his loan award until Oct. 10 to
12 days after classes started,
Loan applications are sent to the North
West Educational Loan Association (NELA) for
further processing. In Weaver's case, his
application wasn't even sent to NELA until he
called to check his account on Sept. 19, Weaver
maintains that the Financial Aid office forgot
to send in his applicatio'n ,
"They (the Financial Aid office) just need
to double check all student accounts. This
happened to another person in my class as
well," said Weaver. "Generally these people are
there to help. They don't mean to make
people's lives hell, it just works out that way
sometimes."
Although there are still complaints, the
Financial Aid office is optimistic about their
progress. Since Skeeley started last May,
Grabhorn feels that the number of problems
has gone down .
"I was really pleased with how quiet itwas
this fall," Grabhorn said, "the people who are
left around here are really dedicated to getting
the job done right:
Many students sympathize with the
Financial
Aid
office,
blaming
miscommunication and human error fOf the
delays.
"I think that there's a communication
problem between NELA and the Financial Aid
department," said Colin Helseley, whose loan
award came in last Tuesday delayed because he
didn't fill out one box in his application. "I
don't blame anyone at rhe Financial Aid office,
ail hough I think they.take the blunt for most
of the problems."
"The Financial Aid office is really
understaffed, " said DeLorey. "They do th e best
they can."
The new and continuing staff at the
Financial Aid office appear to be open to
suggestion and eager to help students get their
awards with as little hassle as possible. Butwith
the shear number of applications . that are
processed each quarter, there are always going
to be problems that arise due to simple human
errOf.

Anytime now, Governor Gary Locke will
appoint The Evergreen State College's two new
Board of Trustees members to replace Lila Girvin
and Fred Haley.
The student representative to the Board of
Trustees, Nick Mitchell. says the Board is made
up of seven people who are the "top ti er to
decision making" on ca mpus. They make the
decisions on every aspect of Evergreen, including
how the school's budget should be spent.
Th e two new members of the Board ,
\\'homever th ey should be, are appointed by
Go vernor Lo cke. Mitch ell explains that the
Evergreen st udents don't have a say on who these
two people should be.
So, Mitchell and Bryan Freeborn , the
alternate .student representative to the Board,
wrote a letter to send to the Governor. This letter
illDstrates concerns that some Evergreen
students have about who is appointed to the
Board.
"A lot of studen\!; ta lk of change and that

What's going on in
student activities ...
Mediation Center resolves· conflicts
by Jennifer Koogler
Editor in chief
Evergreen's Mediation Center may not be
well known around campus, but if you are
having a conflict with your neighbors over loud
techno music at 3 a.m. or your roommates can't
resolve how to organize the chores, you may
want to check into their services.
Lynne Stockwell, the center's coordinator,
emphasizes the strengths of using mediation as
a way to resolve conflicts. "It empowers people
to solve their own disputes and to feel good
about it. . .if you don't have a say in the results,
you aren't apt to comply."
The mediation process begins with a
phone call to the Center. Volunteers, made up
of staff members and students, coach callers on
how to approach the situation and deal directly
with the people involved. If that interaction
doesn't work, the people in dispute are invited
to come in and talk with mediators. Stockwell
says the center has two mediators for each
session. Ilaving two people facilitate mediation
offers gender balance and makes sure the
conversation is tracked well , especially when
people are emotionally distressed.
The Center provides mediation for alri10st
any kind of inte'rpersonal conflict, including
student to student, student to faculty, and faculty
to staff. Stockwell says the Center will also
mediate between those at the college and people
off campus, like landlords or co-workers. While
the services are completely voluntary for both
parties, Stockwell says people usually agree to the
mediation, as no one likes to remain in conflict.
For the most part, conflicts can be resolved in
one session, but sometimes additional sessions
are needed to create a plan for further
commun ication and interactions in the nllure.
AU of the Center's services are free, safe,
and confidential. Stockwell says mediation
provides a space for discussion and mutual
problem resolution where "people can say what
they want without fear of retribution."
The Mediation Center doesn't handl e
more serious conflicts like sexual harassment,
sexual ab~se, or 'other infractions of the law.
Those concerns are addressed by Police Services
or the campus sexual harassment officer.
. Stockwell and other Cente'r volunteers
somet im es go to programs and give
presentations on the dim'rent styles of contlict
and how to recognize how we personally deal
with problems. Students can then identitY issues
in their commun ity and how do deal with them.
She says it is beneficial to recognize conflicts and
"see how best you can listen and be heard." One
of the main goals ofthe Center is to make dealing
with conflicts a normal. healthy part of the way
we interact with each other.
Volunteers are trained for both telephone
conciliation and in-person mediations. The
training usually last about 40 hours and are
followed by a short internship with a senior
mediator. These sessions are free to faculty, staff,
and students at Evergreen and begins Oct. 30.
Interested individuals should contact Stockwell

Evergreen 's COlli 111 un icat ions Board
meets for the first time this Friday, however a
glaring void is expected. Due to th e lack of
applicants for the board's two student positions,
the board remains incomplete. Tom Mercado,
the board 's cha irman, attributes the lack of
student interest to limited knowledge of student
governance committees and other DTFs. He
admits that a more aggressive recruitment
campaign might remedy this problem but for
the board it unfortunately seems too late.
The board, made up of students, staff and
community members, discusses obstacles faced
by campus media, including the CPJ and KAOS.
The board also serves as advisors to the media's
program director, editors and staff. In addition
to these duties, members of the board are
responsible for interviewing candidates for the
CP)'s editor positions and KAOS 's program
director position for the 1998-99 school year.
"We [the board! are a primarily proactive," says Mercado, "we try to prevent [the
media! from getting into hot water, before they
do. We don't usually have too many problems."
Preventative educat ion and advisory on the
obstacles faced by students in media appears to
be beneficial. The obstacle the board is faced
with now is a serious problem-the board is as
of yet incomplete and time is running out.
For more information about the
Comm unications Board contact Tom Mercado
at x6210 or attend the board meeting on Friday,
Oct. 24 at 12:30 p.m. in CAB 315.

OLYMPIA - WESTSIDE
The Evergreen Medieval Society is TESCs
branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism
(SCA). We have been at Evergreen for six years.
This last year we were made an official branch
called The College of Wittanhaven. That's the
Society's name for TESC. Our purpose is to
learn and teach about Medieval History which
includes costuming, art, fighting, etc.
The College of Wittanhaven has built
many traditions over the last five years in the
form of myths and legends. There is an Oracle
on some undisclosed part of campus where
strange vapors make men and women see
visions of past, present, and future. The
keepers of the Oracle are three witches, who are
reborn in the woods every five years under the
Spring Equinox moon.
•
Much magiC has been wrought and the
college has made a boisterous reputation for
itself in th e Barony of GlymmMere, wh ich
encompasses Olympia and its surround ing
suburbs. After researching and documenting
a certain persona or character, we go to events
that are.sponsored by the International SCA
groups ~ Mainly, we stay in An Tir, which is
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and the Canadian
provinces that border them.
During the year we hold even ts at
Evergreen for th e SCA. This winter we have a
Winter Bardic planned in the Longhouse,
where we eat, tell stories, dance, and sing to
bring in the Yule. In the late winter we sponsor
GlymmMere's Sergeant's Trials, where brave
men and women are tested in their virtues and
chivalry. In the Spring we are hoping to seize
the Library for the Spring Crown Coun ci l,
where royalty from all An Tir will come to meet
and discuss many important political
decisions. The events that are coming up in our
area are as follows:
.
(if you contact the Evergreen Medieval Society
we can find you garb and transportation)
Nov. 15--Saint Cecelia's Day of Dance. It"s a
wonderful event to start coming to. We will
have live Celtic music, dance instruct ion , and ~
potluck, Medieval sty le. Everyone will be in
their winter's best as we revel and dance with
the Barony ofGlymmMere.
Dec. 6- Yule Feast. It's a completely authentic
Medieval Feast, provided with music and bards.
The College of Witt an haven will be serving the
Royal Highnesses King Sven and Queen Sighne.
Ca ll us early so we can make reservations. The
cost is $10 or less.

As Americans, it is our proud duty to taunt and
belittle other cultures for their odd cultural qu irks and
customs.
I have heard the British described as "Tea-Swilling
Crumpet Monkeys, " the Swiss taunted for not
participating in enough wars, and the Canadians vilified
for stealing all of our good baseball players.
I could write 10 columns on the cultural horrors
that the French have supposedly inflicted on us.
But as Americans, there is only one obsess ion that
tears us away from our acts of cross-c ultural nose·
thumbing.
Politics? Entertainment? Lionel Richie albums?
No, it's none of these.
It's our own ass.
After reading this sentence you've probably sh ifted
uncomfortably in your seat, imaging me as some sicko
sitting at home, reading my letters in Penthouse.
But just stick with me fora minute. I'm not talking
about our actual physical asses. although we spend
enough time as a cou ntry acrobic izing and worrying
over their shape that I cou ld spend another column on
the subject.
I'm talking about our national obsession with our
symbolic asses.
Look in the thesaurus-n o, not right now. when
you're done reading this column.
We're so obsessed that as a culture, we've sto len,
bastardized, or created over 20 syno nyms for thesubject. Right now you're sitting on several hundred
years oflinguistic heritage; you're not just sitting on your
buttocks, you're sitting on your ass, butt, breach, rump,
tush, derriere, fanny, buns, or cheeks.
Don't make me bring up "booty."
As Americans, we're not satisfied having our buttcheeks worthy ofan entire thesaurus. We have to include
them in conversation.
Here's a popular one: 'Tm going to kick his ass."
Why is kicking someone's ass a grave threat?
Let's say you got into a bar fight over a woman,
and your opponent actually started booting you in the
butt. First of all , it wou ldn 't hurt nearly as much as say,
a kick to the groin, thus making it an ineffective fighting
maneuver, and secondly, eve ryone in the bar would
think the opponent was some sort of a freak.
Sample Conversation:
Bystander #l:"Hey, what's that freak doing?"
Bystander #2: "Why, he's kicking their ass!"
(Uncomforfable Silence)
Bystander #3: "He\ taken the sema ntics of that
traditional say ing too literally! Let's beat the crap out of
him!"
Not only are we a nation committing to kicking
ass, we're oddly fixated with the co ntents of those asses.
How many times are we hearing about someon'e
who could stick, shove, or cram something up their ass?
Or blow it out their ass? Or has their head up their ass?
And now that I think of it, in all the times that
you've told someone (in reality or in your mind) that
they could kiss your ass-wouldn't you be embarrassed
if they actually did?
With all this obsession over one part of the
ana tomy, you would think Americans would have
something to show for it, other than a handful of colorful
sayings: Ken Burns' next documentary could be an eightpart series on butts; a new sports team could have rear
ends as their logo; and on Halloween, you r little
neighbor Timmy cou ld be collecting candy whil e
dressed as buttocks.
But no, we having nothing (unless you count the
recent movie Booty Call,.which I do not).
So the next time you're making fun of th e French
for their ability to pronounce th e word croissant, keep
in mind that they have it lucky; when they kick
someo ne's ass, they're probably ta lkin g about a
stubborn mule.

Boogie Nights delivers the goods
by J . Brian Pitts

The first thing you notice about Boogie
Nights is that , for a movie about making
pornography, there is very little porn in it. Not
even all that many sex scenes, or even very
much nodity. The focu s of Paul Thomas
Anderson's new ftlm documenting the "exo tic
film" industry's golden years of the 70's and its
subsequent decline after the turn of the decade
isn't the porn, but the lives of the people who
mad e porn .
Mark Wahlberg stars as Eddie, high
school dropout, busboy at a L.A. disco, and
owner of a penis so large that club patrons are
willing to pay "five bucks to see it, 10 to see
what it can do ," Eddie feels that, at birth,
everyone is given one speCial gift and his just
happens to be 13 inch es. Jack Homer (Burt
Reynolds) sees something more in the boy talent.
See, Jack is a director with a dream. He
wants to make film s that can get people off
while entertaining them with an engrossing
plot and talented performers. With an
alcoholi c, abusive mother at home, Eddie is
christened with the more appropriate name of
Dirk Diggler and welcomed into the family,
The group is full of drug addicts , liars, and sad,
hurting people, Qut there is more respect,love,
and community than any of them felt at home.
Dirk is a big success, earning rave reviews
and winning th e coveted "Best New Performer"
and "Best Coc k" awards at th e 2nd Annu al
Adult Film Awards. He gets rich and famous,
buys a house, and rides the wave all the way to
1980, when everything is Hushed away in a
storm of cocaine, rage, and crime,
There are many things deserving of praise
in Boogie Nights. Its sense of period is excellent,
as is the rockin' soundtrack (whoever insisted on
using "Momma Told Me Not To Come" is agod
and deserves our respect). Anderson 's direction
is impressive for a second feature film, as is his
writing. There are certain sequences (the first
party at Jack's house, Dirk's first film, a drug deal
gone bad) that are such a tight mixture ofediting,
Cinematography, sound, and acting that you
forget that you have been watching the same
scene for at least 10 minutes. All of the actors turn
in solid performances, most notably Wahl berg,
Reynolds, and Julianne Moore.
Unfortunately, there is one big flaw with the
film: It's just entertainment. That's fin e, and 1hi ~
is a funny and sometillles thrilling fi lm , but I
wan ted more. I wanted a new perspective, <I
change in thought , anything that would stick
with me for the next few days. As I walked out of
the auditorium, the movie was already slipping
away from me and by the time I got home, all
but the brightest moments were faint memories.
Don't let that stop you from going to Boogie
Nights. It was $7 well spent. If for nothing else,
go for one of the most impressive, ahem, special
effects seen this year. Audience members cheered
harder for it than for any exploding alien or
rampaging T-Rex.
PREVIEW
by Sal Occhino
The CP J's very own Sideshow Bob
continued from page 10
So, you haven't seen a Hollywood movie si nce,
Air Force One, Or maybe you have, but it sucked.
Either way, once the local film festival is over, it 'll be
time to go back to the multiplexes for some good bigbudget fun.
.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are almost here,
and with th em come some big Hollywood movies. Big
budget movies often use the if-i t-ain 't-broke-don 't-tryto-fIx-it technique. This season is no exception. There
will be a half dozen sequels, a few remakes, a rerelease, some old ideas have just plain been rrhashed,
of course a couple books have been made into features
and Quentin Tarantino is directing again.
There will also be some wonderful small
releases, including Speilberg's prestigious Amistad,
Scorsese'sTibet epic Kundun, and the Coen brothers'
The Big Lebowski. As much as I'm looking forward
to those films, this article is about mindless multiplex
entertainment that will be coming by the end of the
year to a theater near us.
Contrary to an immen se popular beli ef, the
busiest movie going time of the year is not the Fourth
of July_ The busiest movie day of the year is ac tually
the day after Thanksgiving. Knowing this
infor mation , mov ie studi os , in years past , have
packed that five-day weekend with fouror fil'r highly
an ticipated star power picturrs.
This yrar th ere are a mere two Thanksgiving
weekend openers. Alien Resllrrectioll, arguably the
most anticipated movie of the season. is th e fourth
in the Alien movie series. This time Ripley (Sigourney
Weaver) seems much angrier, sexier and all aroun d
more kick-ass. Co uld this possibly be because she
died in the last one and wa nt ed to stay dead?1 Aillng
with a new co-sta r (Winona Ryder), Weaver i~ joined
by a new director (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who directed
Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children). The

Other mOl'ie~ that will probably be filling out
that weekends top fil'c are the previous weekends
openings, Anastasia, the very hyped first attempt at
an imat ion from HolIl'lI'ood's most influential studio ,
Twentieth Ce ntury 'Fox, is ex pec ted 10 pull in the
fami ly audience for weeks 011 end. That w('ekend also
gives us Mortal Kombat: Annihila tion. This is the
sequel to th e highest grossing video game movie to
date. The two other movies that weekend are targeted
towards adults: Clint Eastwood's Midn ight in the
Garden o f Good iJnd Evil and the John Grisham
thriller The Rainmaker.
In mid-November Disney wi ll bring back The
Little Mermaid. I would li ke to take this opportunity
to vent towards the Disney video department. Maybe
vent is too strollg a WUI d. I wou ld actually like to beg
them to do one eensey-weensey little thing. I do not
hate the Disney company. In fact, it is out oflove for
their movies that I write this. Last year I heard they
were going to release The Little Mermaid on vid eo for
th e Thanksgiving gift-giving season. Recently when
it was announced 7JJe Uttle MermaicJwould be going
to theaters, I was ovcrjoyed beca use that opened up a
video sa les spo t. A lit tie movie called The Black
(;/Uldron (th ea tricall y released by Disney in1985)
which I love d so much as a child has neve r been
ava ilable on Video, Instead of giving in to popular
Interne t and otherwise cult demand and releasing The
Black Cauldron on' video this year, the people at the
the Cooper Point Journal
October 23, 1997
Disney vidro department decided to bring back (tor
the lir~t tim e sin ce 1991!) Thdul1gle Book. Please,
for th e love of Gurgi, release The Black C1uldron on
I'ideo.
Another not ewort hy movie in rarly November
is The Jackal starring Bruce Willis and Richard Gere.
When was the las t time th t' bad gu}' (W illb) got top
billing over the good guy (Gere)? And when wa s the
last time we wanted the bad guy to win so bad ly?
Starship Troopers is also an early November release.
Here's my theory with Starship Trooper:,: Every six
years or so, there's an R-rated sci-fi/adventure movie
that somehow every 13 year-old boy in th e sixth grade
ha s seen. 1986: Aliens. 1991: Termillator 2. In 1981
Raiders ofthe Lost Arkwas that movie, sure it 's not R,
but did your parents let you see it? My hope is that
Slarship Troopers has the same effect ori this
generation. This Friday Gatt:Jca (the movir in which
they graphically reduced th e size of Uma Thurman's
h,md s because th ey looked too big nex t to Ethan
Hawkr's) and A Life Less Ordirwrya rrive in town. let
the fun begin.
Two films opening small and growing with word
of mouth that I feel should be noted are The lango
Lesson ill Nove mber <l nd Grea t Expec tations in
December. The Tango Lessun is written by, directed
by and stars Sally Potter, best known for her stunning
visuals in Orlando. The Tango Lesson is a fantastic

movie, presented primarily in bl ack and white,
and is beautifully choreographed. This movie
will greatly appeal to th e female crowd, but it
is a great date movie for men who des ire
romance, music, da ncing and amazing visual
('ffects . Grea t Expectation s also ha s a
monstrous date appeal (not th at you should
take a monstrously looking date, butthe appea l
is monstrollS, big, huge, I'm sure you know
what 1 mean.) It's a wonderful tale that can be
powerful if told well. You may also recognize
this story because it's an updated version of the
Cha rles Dickens classic.
December's line-up is much less complex,
yet it's so much more exciting. On the 19th,
three of th e years these-movies-better-makemoney-or-you're-fired pictures all open the
same day. The bigges t gamb le is Titanic,
Direc tor Jame.:; Cameron's two hours, 7A
minute film (the number "th ree" has been
legislated out of any mention of length) could
possibly make aUits money back, Or, a more
likely scenario, it will be a very well-liked
adven ture/mystery/love story thal gets some
Oscar nominations out of respect, yet will fail
to get good enough word of mouth to become
a hit. Asafer bet would be the 18thJamesBond
picture, Tomorrow Never Dies, The 17th Bond
film, Goldeneye is the highest grossing of the
series, so far. The new Bond film is rumored
to be better than Goldeneye and has a running
time ofless than two hours , Titanic, also has
good buzz, but will have less shows per day
because of its exha ustive length. The family
come dy Home Alone 3 also opens that
weekend , Without Mac Culkin as the star, the
stakes are a little lower. As a note: the first two
Home Alone's were the top gross ing ftlm s of
the year and season , respectively.
Titanic is under extreme pressure to
move it's rel ease date up an entire month
(Titanic plays in Japan on Nov. 1 due to a
distribution contract.) The film company
could possibly switch Titanic's date with The
Rainmaker, Another film under constant

Fiction won Tarantino a best screenplay Oscar.
It was also nominated for, among others, Best
Picture and Best Director. It went on to ea rn
more than $100 million (still the biggest gross
for the Mirimax company, and any other movie
of it's kind ,) I love Tarantino films, Sure PilIp
Fiction is great, but his 1992 debut, Reservoir
Dogs, is easily one of my tops of all time.
That same day an Oscar winnin g

Immortal Duchovny
Agent Mulder tries to play God
by J. Brian Pitts
Not an A&E God, but he plays one on TV
Some people should just stick to the careers
th ,lI got th em 13molls and not try to branch out
int o th e film world, no matt er how Illu ch
everyone says they ~h ould . Half of th e people who
have ever appeared on SJllIrday Nighr LiI'e, for
exa mple - David DurhuvllY, fur anot her.
Sun' , he's a pretty man. Sure, h(' call talk
about paranorma l disturbances and UFO
abductions with the best of th em. Sure, we all
lov(' him on T1Jl' X- Fill'S. Fine, great, whatever.
That's TV - we' re talking film now. When
you're 10 feet tall on the silver screen, stiHn ess is
not perceived as depth and you can't get away
with squinting as your only form of facial
ex pression (how Richard Gere pulls it off, I'll
never know).
Perhaps this is being a little bit too hard on
Mr. Duchovny, placing all the crappiness of
Playing God on his shoulders. That's because
without his presence, it would just be a straight·
to-HBO crime flick with Eric Roberts in th e lead,
an even dumber title (J Was A Dl'ath Doctor).
and only a dozen audience members because it
wouldn 't feature a "Graphic Nudity/Adu lt
Situations" warning. No, with such low
expectations lor everything else this movie has
to ofter, aud iences will focus th eir blaml' squarely
on Duchovny's shoulders,
Not only will they blame him for tilE' poor
a(,ting, but also for the b13nd script that appeared
to be assembled from scraps found in Quentin
Tarantino's wastebasket. Trash-talking hit men
who engagr ill trivial discussions before blOWing
people away. The mob boss' girl not only dances
with th e hero, he saves her life with, the help of
soml' strange charac ters, It isn't all ripped off
trom Q 1'., however. It's unlikely that the creator
of Pulp Fiction ever thought that the wickedest
bad guy in all of Los Angeles is an e;<porter of
bootlegged CD-ROMs,
Duchovny wiUalso be blamed for the tepid
pacing, boring score, and hideous directing,
Many will loudly comp lain that Duchovny
should have thought of a better title, and wh;lt
was he thinking, naming his character Eugene? I
personally hold him responsible for the poor
selection of previews attached to the film and the
recent declin e in quality offi lms that HoUywood
is releasing,
About the only thing that Duchovny has
done right with Playing God is that he kept the
length to about 90 minutes, Everything else was
just plain god awful.

bending' it in separate cases either to right or the left . This
could be Interpreted as the political slant of the artist, as
interpreted by our copy machine . NotICe how some artist s
lean farthe r than others; notice how others go both ways .
Hate the artist of your choice based ' on the slant of their
comic . You can subm i t your comic or polit i cal slant to the CPJ
free of c harge unless you're submitting a comic that adver tises your product, that is, if you're a cigarette company .
Thanks for reading - the comics editor . (David Scheer)
