© 2013 Amnesia LLC. BY COOPER COPELAND Who knew an abortion film could be funny? “You’re either a writer or you’re not.” To Mr. Gore Vidal, it was quite simple. The craft of a wordsmith is not something as trivial as a hobby or even a profession. To Vidal, it was an extension of the human soul onto paper. Suppressing BY COOPER COPELAND the itching words within will cause your own descent into insanity. But to Mr. Gore Vidal, it was the sanity of the U.S. that he was really seeking to save. Whether When it comes to joking around, a lot of people would say there are certain topics that or not his country’s people would let him save them is a whole other matter. should remain taboo. For example, many people still find Holocaust jokes distasteful, despite the In Nicholas Wrathall’s latest documentary Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia, the fact the tragedy took place more than half a century ago. gladiator of American liberalism, Gore Vidal himself, takes us by the hand and leads us through the But often, we find that in order to cast light on a dark subject, to get past it and even converse political landscape’s increasingly precarious nature during the last century. Traipsing through the about it in a meaningful way, we must laugh at it. When all is said and done, humor may be the bogs of war, celebrity and scandal, Wrathall asks whether there will ever be someone who will so only weapon we have that can shatter the barriers that repeatedly deter us from moving forward. audaciously defend what others won’t. So, “Which hot topic is next on comedy’s rolodex?” you ask. Why, abortion of course! Vidal asked this same question throughout his entire life. It seems that throughout his career Yep, abortion. That’s what director Gillian Robespierre’s debut feature Obvious Child spotlights as a political and historical writer, he was unmatched in his fervent passion for justice in our society with relentless wit while also showing tender admiration for those who have had to grapple with it. that seems to be falling under the corporations’ tyrannical powers. New York-based comedienne Jenny Slate, best known for the creation of the viral short videos Much of Wrathall’s documentary seeks to explain not just what Vidal was fighting for, but why Marcel the Shell with Shoes On and her brief stint on “SNL” and “Parks and Recreation,” stars as so many of his words fell on deaf ears. Donna, a 20-something comedian working in Brooklyn with little shame and a small disposable To explore that tragedy of sorts, the director delves into Vidal’s personal life where he income. surrounded himself with the world’s highest intellectuals, celebrities and politicians. Traveling She seems to rock the spontaneous Jewess jokester lifestyle…until her boyfriend unexpectedly companions with Tennessee Williams, writing partners with Paul Newman and weekend buddies dumps her for her friend, and the bookstore she’s worked at for the past five years suddenly shuts with John F. Kennedy, Vidal saturated his company only with those that could give more depth to down. Carrying a broken heart and an empty wallet, Donna falls into a drunken stupor. his own intellect. She then meets Max (Jake Lacy), a khaki-wearing goy with one of those computer software But with these high societal names comes controversy, as Wrathall inserts a layer of mystery jobs no one understands. After throwing back enough drinks, and even after Max farts in her face and intrigue when it comes to Vidal’s sexuality. As the writer of one of the first novels with an while they pee in the street together, a blissful, yet messy one-night stand ensues. The next morning, explicitly homosexual sex scene, The City and the Pillar (1948), Vidal was instantly targeted by the Donna sneaks out, thinking she will never see Max again. conservative party as a subversive entity of the liberal agenda. Since then, he always had to take hits But, of course, it’s never that easy. concerning his own sexuality. When Donna realizes she’s pregnant from her rendezvous, she must now traipse through the Wrathall, clearly a close friend of Vidal himself, handles the controversies of Vidal’s life with financial and emotional waters of getting an abortion. care, which is a slight downfall for the doc. However, Obvious Child is not concerned about whether or not Donna will get an abortion. Wholly biased towards liberalism and Vidal’s sensibilities, the director doesn’t show us enough Rather, this film is about how she copes with the absolute fact that she is getting an abortion. Should of the other side, the counterattack to Vidal’s incessant questioning. Even though we get a glimpse she tell Max, who is now going all Romeo on her, that she’s terminating the pregnancy? If so, how of his infamously heated debates with conservative William F. Buckley in the 1960s, Wrathall really should she do it? only includes one-on-one interviews with those Vidal was closest to. Perhaps it would have been In this way, Obvious Child tackles not just one, but all of the many choices a woman must make better to see those who he was up against. when it comes to an abortion. It does so with a refreshing combination of just enough romanticism Or, perhaps it was the country’s politics—not its individual—that was taking Vidal down all and raunchiness, and the perfect dose of honesty. Obvious Child is a move forward. along.

He loved it so dearly that he would do everything in his power to In her first huge starring role on the big screen, Slate’s comedic energy is effortlessly crude and keep it from squandering. adorable at the same time. Unafraid of the camera, she seems to be made for the spotlight, rocking From his Hollywood screenplays (Ben-Hur, Billy the Kid) to his countless novels about the both the vagina gross-out humor in her standup performances as well as the emotionally intimate historical happenings of Washington D.C., Vidal’s writings have captured that American gumption scenes, especially with the incomparably talented and wacky Gaby Hoffman from Field of Dreams he so fervently fought for. and “Girls” (Hoffman plays Donna’s best friend who had an abortion when she was younger). So, we ask ourselves the question again: After Vidal’s death in 2012 at the age of 86, who will It’s in these moments that we see the possibility in laughter. We laugh at what makes us take his place? Will there ever be someone as fearless and as truly in love with America to take the uncomfortable and squeamish, and then suddenly, with a burst of relief, that discomfort is gone. reigns of new age liberalism? And so, by pairing its unapologetic romance with a heavy-handed subject addressed by a Vidal hoped so, and we do too. fanfare of funny faces, Obvious Child is the rom-com that none of us knew we needed.

The ice or “snow cream,” which comes in flavors such as Milk, Black Sesame, Strawberry and Green Tea, is so fluffy and soft. With condensed milk drizzled on top, the snow cream tastes creamier, but it’s not as thick and heavy as ice cream.

The fresh mango lying on top gives you a visual pleasure before satisfying your stomach. Hours: Mon.-Fri., 11:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Sat., 12:00 p.m.-10:30 a.m. Sun., 3:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.

Fluff Ice 500 N Atlantic Blvd., Ste. 153 Monterey Park 91754 626.872.2123 fluffice.com A great alternative to ice cream, boba or frozen yogurt shops, Fluff Ice is one of the best shaved ice places near L.A. Its “fluffs” are more flavorful than frozen yogurt, and they’re smoother than ice cream—their taste-texture profile is similar to “frozen cotton candy!” Its specials include Taro Pudding and Mango Shaved Snow. The Pretty in Blue is strawberry fluff with Blue Honey Boba and condensed milk, and Sa Wat Dee is a Thai tea fluff with egg pudding, lychee jelly and condensed milk—delicious!

In fact, with flavors like Blue Hawaii, Guava, Hawaiian Punch, Papaya and Piña Colada, the shaved ice options come in the same flavors you would probably find on the island itself. All you have to do is choose a size, a filling (such as Dole Whip, Azuki Beans, Mochi Balls or choose from an assortment of ice cream flavors), a flavor and a topping (we recommend the Ghirardelli Chocolate or the Sour Spray for an extra kick!).
