Hard to tell whether it’s a parody or a presidential election

VICTOR DE JONG INTERROBANG There are only four weeks left in one of the best slapstick comedies to hit the small screen in years: Obama vs. Romney. From digging up ancient dirt to talking to empty chairs, the campaigns have been fierce, the spending exorbitant and the result? Still uncertain. The seemingly endless parade of political tactics is intensifying in the month leading up to the American presidential election in November. With only a few short weeks left, there are three debates on the schedule that could heavily impact the final outcome. Romney is synonymous by now with stick- ing his foot in his mouth, and a series of debates will be instrumental in either dis- proving this or confirming it once and for all. President Barack Obama has a slim lead on the up-and-coming Mitt Romney. Romney’s wealth has been his blessing and his curse in this race as it enabled him to spend plenty of dollars while simultaneously alienating the population that isn’t economically minded or privileged. American elections are substantially dif- ferent from Canadian ones in that they make use of an electoral college. There are 538 ‘electoral votes’ available to be won and Deciding what to wear they’re divided between all of the states based on population.

What happened to the fright?

McGee’s Movie Moments ALISON MCGEE [email protected]

I remember a time – okay, given my age, it was not a particularly long time ago – when scary movies were actually scary. I don’t mean like they are today, how they are deeply disturbing and unsettling, but I mean frightening. I remember a time when I would rent a movie, sit in my basement in the dark watching it and be afraid! So I have to wonder, what has hap- pened to all the scary movies? Back in the 1980s, when the whole “slasher” genre was just starting to take off, scary movies CREDIT: ALAN MARKFIELD were more than just blood and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (foreground) and Paul Dano star in Looper. guts. Sure, when Jason Voorhees goes after his victims with a machete, there is a lot of blood, and yes, when the crazy hillbillies Joseph Gordon-Levitt gets in Texas Chainsaw Massacre get out their chainsaws, it isn’t all roses and gumdrops.
