GEORGE-ANNE 4 Monday, October 27,2003 Our Opinion Dont let football folly squelch school spirit

It seems everyone's disappointed in this year's Eagles, and with fairly good reason. A team that normally has no trouble soaring into the playoffs has hit a rough spot and can't catch up. But, truth be told, we're not the first school in history to lose our own Homecoming game. If it makes you feel any better, we're still leading the Southern Confer- ence in rushing yards. Our six I-AA National Championship titles still set a record in our division. But, whether or not our football team is making the headlines, we shouldn't hesitate to express our pride as usual. We have thousands of reasons to be glad we're Georgia Southern Eagles. We have the finest Information Technology facilities in the Southeast. The average SAT scores of our students surpass both state and national averages. (According to 2002-2003 statistics, the national average is 1020, while the GSU average is 1052.) For those who would justifiably question the pertinence of standar- tized test scores, thousands of students at our institution also contribute research and other applications of their knowledge in the local academic reserves as well as in national conferences ms&zk£f G3MPU5 and organizations. Not to mention the fact that we do have other hard-working sports teams. Despite the considerable budget cuts in our state, the careful foresight and planning of our administrators has permitted us to When did the pen become a sword? invest about $200 million in the construction of new academic buildings and housing facilities over the past five years.

ox here. Captain Cool and I went to check outthe band Nothingfacewhen they headlined a show at the Masquerade in Atlanta. If you like music with evidences of the hardest death metal to the sounds of melodic rock, Nothingface is a great choice. The band was set to release 'Skeletons,' theirfourthalbum,andtheCaptain talked about itand everything else from religioM Avnl Lavigne

For the guitar sounds, album, we don't care what critics say, or if it sells well. We've been around Atlanta. How you doing Matt? for one, we used 20-Amp Heads, everything from Sears Silvertones to Orange for about ten years, and for us it's all about making music we're proud of Matt Holt: Pretty good, how about yourself?

There's We wanted for the most part for each song to have different guitar tones, to the way we want, in the right environment.

Same thing for the drum the best music possible, and to make the best record possible. I'd be scared it's the Masquerade or the Tabernacle. It's really fun to get back into some tones. So by recording it at a slower pace we were able to mess around with to death to be a metal band that ends up on TRL or just in constant rotation of the clubs we used to play in, like the Brewery in Raleigh, or Fletcher's in the tones as we went.

V.A. vs V.A • • Two Completely Different Views M Everyone's tastes in films are different. This week V.A. vs V.A. reflects just that. Erik V.A. Howard would recommend you go see the more mainstream 'Runaway Jury' for its high impact action and storyline. V.A. Patrick Slade would recommend that you go see a more critically acclaimed film that is full of great acting and emotional plateaus that are found in 'Mystic River,' a more artistic and acting friendly film. If you agree or disagree with either opinion, please feel free to email either V.A. at their email addresses below. ik Erik V.A. Howard's Take V.A. Patrick Slades Take evonamos@hotmail [email protected] FILM PICK: FILM PICK: RUNAWAYJURY MYSTIC RIVER: There emerged a movie last weekend that is definitely the film to see. That film is Runaway This week's pick, from my perspective, should be Mystic River. Based on the Number 1 best Jury. Amongst the horrible remake of the cult classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the ridicu- selling book of the same name, this film pulls at the emotional heartstrings of its viewer. It is an lously long movie Kill Bill, Vol. 1, Runaway Jury is the best choice. emotional roller coaster that lives you feeling very bad about human existence. 1 This is what films are supposed to be; Runaway Jury has all the ingredients that make a film This Clint Eastwood film is a rarity that is a welcoming addition to cinema. The story follows great. There is great acting, a good story, intrigue, and a finish that leaves you speechless. Jimmy Markum's (Sean Penn) assent into grief after the murder of his 19-year-old daughter. Runaway Jury is based upon the bestselling novel by John Grisham. It features an all-star cast Penn's emotional roller coaster will leave the viewer mesmerized at how great this actor really of award-winning actors, (John Cusack, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman and Rachel Weisz) is. His emotional range is very indicative of hard work and a great training ground. He's able and a supporting cast that equally help carries the film. to take the viewer through the raw emotional reservoir that is left empty after such a tragedy As the film begins we are introduced to a horrible crime. This crime serves as the backdrop happens. of the battle between the gun industry and Wendell Rohr the honest lawyer, played by Dustin Adding to the mix is Sean Divine (Kevin Bacon) as a childhood friend of Penn's Jimmy, who Hoffman. Gene Hackman, who is at his most ruthless and despicable in this film, plays the gun is now an area detective investigating the murder. His character is quite shady, to say the least. industry's jury "consultant." As he works with his partner Whitey Powers (Laurence Fishburne) to crack the case, the two But there is a third party at play here. Nick Easter, played by John Cusack, has found his way must deal with a tortured childhood past that either cannot escape. on to the jury and is ready to swing the jury in favor of the highest bidder. At the same time Gene The best performance in the film comes from Tim Robbins as the unsettling Dave Boyle, a Hackman and his henchmen are trying to find dirt on each member of the jury that will leave childhood friend of Jimmy and Sean. His disturbing performance finds its feet planted in the them no choice but to vote their way. childhood past that all three men share. Though the cruel act happened to Dave, the other two The movie keeps your attention the entire time and builds to a climatic finish that delivers on live constantly with the guilt and shame that they were privy to all those years ago. the goods. Without giving too much away about the film, one of the best scenes in the movie is The directing in the film is confusing. Eastwood, who has directed many films before Mystic between two of the best actors of our time, Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman. River, does not put together a visually appealing film by any means. It is hard to concentrate Runaway Jury is the first time that these two actors have worked together in thier illustrious when the long shots take forever, and the emotional peaks are overshadowed by awkward camera careers. Who will come out on top in this cat-and-mouse game that will leave all involved either angles. Eastwood also makes the mistake of using extreme close-ups in strange places to convey winners or losers? the characters emotions. For those who read the book, don't expect the film to be the same. While it follows the same I don't know if it is editing or the direction, or a combination of both, but the film seems to premise, the setting has been changed from Biloxi, Mississippi to New Orleans, La. Another ma- drag tremendously for the first hour. The characters are not explained very well, at first, and then jor change between the book and film is that the battle is no longer with a Tobacco company, but information gets crammed down our throats later which we could care less about. a gun manufacturer instead. After that hour, though, it seems that the film moves by quite quickly. Overall, the film's acting Runaway Jury really does run away from the competition when it comes to great films, and is is the only thing that warrants a look. The film work and direction are poorly done, and warrants just as good, if not better, than many of Grisham's earlier works that have been made in to films. another chop at the editing table.
