Lively Saturday nights are frequent in bohemian Little Five Points. This was especially true last dour off-beatweek when eccentric singer/songwriter Jonathan Coulton,comic as well as the amusing musicalnerdy duo Paul witty fanciful quirky Jonathan Coulton story thing and Storm, hit the stage at the Variety Playhouse. To briefly inform those who’ve missed out in the past few years, Jonathan Coulton’s musical career began in the form of weekly podcasts titled “Thing a Week,” during which he wrote and sang new crooningsongs ranging from geekyindie and spunky to disturbingly geeky humorous. spunky funny satirical Coulton, a self-described geek, has been writing, performing, recording and giving away his music for years. He is an unusual guy known for writing funny and unusual music on a wide variety of top- ics—robots, monkeys, Tom Cruise, soft drinks, Ikea, etc. Think of the most random thing ever, and lively Jonathantroubadour Coulton has probably written a song or two about it.

It seemed unfortunate that a good indie geeky spunky majority of the crowd (myself included) hadn’t heard of the pair until then—all based on a show of hands, at least. This would change quickly as they started with the appropriately titled “We Are the Opening Band,” a song that’s so comically self-defeating that it literally caused panties to be flung funnyonto satirical the stage (11, as they counted out!). lively troubadour off-beatgeeky From there on Paul and Storm captivated the audience with their off-beat, folksy-sounding repertoire, which contained tunes that ranged from a tribute to the little-known inventor of chicken nuggets, “Nugget Man,” to their personal take on a song for Schoolhouse Rock, the deceptively-named “Count spunkyto Ten.” They funny also belted out a series of quirky satiricaljingles for products such as Kleenex, Twister, lively Cheetos troubadour off- and Fresh Step Kitty Litter. While a good number of these songs might be inappropriate for public airwaves, their outlandish lyrics sung to such a traditional sound got more than just a few giggles.

By Daniel Spiller Staff Writer

Roland Emmerich has had an epic career. Independence Day, Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow are all movies he has directed that focus on something that is completely enormous. Whatever it is – alien spacecrafts, a mutant lizard, a snow storm – it has to be mind-numbingly huge. So how can we take this tried-and-true blockbuster formula and apply it to his latest explosion of light and sound on the screen, known as 10,000 B.C.? This time it is applied to the size of the adventure, of course! Oh, and the animals. There are some seriously huge animals to watch out for. Let’s start with the good things first. For the most part, 10,000 B.C. is a visually pleasing movie. Watching the mammoths stampede during the hunt is fun, and the birds provide an exciting chase scene. The landscape shots provide beautiful looks at snowcapped mountains, dense jungles and sandy deserts (yes, all three – I’ll explain later). The score for the film is what you would expect for this kind of outing – rousing orchestrated pieces with deep horn melodies and powerful drums – and it works well within the context of the atmosphere that the story is trying to achieve. But what is the story behind 10,000 B.C.? This is where elements begin to get problematic. It is as though Emmerich awoke one morning and said to himself, “I want to make a movie about people and huge mammoths!” and an important producer with cigar-in-mouth replied, “Mammoths? I love it! Here’s lots of money!” Directed By: Roland Emmerich The story has the simplicity of a Dr. Seuss book, but without the creativity or fun. Rat e d : PG-13 It is a thinly disguised basic love story that consists of one tribe of people meeting with Ge nre: Adventure/Drama other tribes, gaining their trust and pursuing a bad tribe that has taken some of the good tribes’ people as slaves. The plot is not necessarily bad; it’s just bland and riddled Sta r r i n g : Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis, Joel Virgel Our Take: « « « « « See 10,000, page 23 Image Courtesy of Warner Bros.
