Then there’s the “hate speech” excuse. My pal Steve Hayward was invited to be the University of Colorado’s first visiting scholar in con- servative thought. Before his year was up, a small group of academics wanted to haul him before the faculty assembly for a formal censure. His offense? He had posted a blog with a lame joke about “LGBTQRSTUW (or whatever letters have been added lately).” One pro- fessor charged that the post was “bordering on” hate speech. Miller-Young called the anti-abortion sign “hate speech.” In Col- orado, you don’t have to use hate speech; just border on it and they’ll go after you. The trigger-happy may tell themselves politics have nothing to do with their efforts to silence others. The Miller-Young petition framed the issue as a matter of “safety.” In a way, they’re right. In many quar- ters in academia, it is not safe to think for yourself. Email Debra J. Saunders at [email protected]. To find out more about Debra J.

© Tampa Bay Newspapers: All rights reserved www.tbnweekly.com 8B Entertainment Leader, May 29, 2014 Movie review ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ is equal parts story, sound and fury Superhero films – as well as ac- tion movies in other subgenres – often fail because more emphasis Reel Time is placed upon dazzling special ef- Lee Clark Zumpe fects and glittery staging than de- veloping a gripping narrative. The desire to astound audiences with sheer spectacle overrides articulate story evolution. “X-Men: Days of Future Past” manages to defy the odds, delivering a coherent and compelling fast-paced plot punctuated by expressive drama, explosive action and even a few well-placed scenes of comic relief. It’s quite an achievement, considering the breadth of this film’s am- bition. Director Bryan Singer bridges the two subdivisions of the fran- chise in a story that takes place in two different periods of time. Singer – who directed the first two films of the franchise, “X-Men” (2000) and “X2: X-Men United” (2003); and who co-wrote and co-produced the most recent film, “X-Men: First Class” (2011) – opens the tale in a bleak, dystopian future. Mutants have been hunted to the brink of ex- tinction by an army of robots known as Sentinels. In fact, human soci- ety isn’t faring particularly well, either, from the looks of things. The audience learns that at some point in this timeline, the war against the mutants expanded to include human targets, too. A handful of mutants, hiding in a bunker, survive a brutal Sentinel assault thanks to Kitty Pryde’s unique ability to project an individual’s consciousness back in time. Professor X, leader of the X-Men, believes that Pryde’s power may hold the key to rewriting history. The professor has pinpointed an inci- dent which provided the catalyst that triggered the crusade against mutants – and which supplied those who built the Sentinels with a means to make the three-story tall robotic eradicators practically in- domitable. Turns out that Logan – aka Wolverine – is the only guy in the room capable of having his consciousness catapulted several decades back in time – so, off he goes to 1973, hoping to stir a young Charles Xavier to action and save the world. Logan quickly discovers that Xavier wasn’t at the top of his game in 1973. In fact, Logan really has his work cut out for him. Not only does he have to convince Xavier to stop wallowing in self-pity, but he has to figure out how to get the X-Men maverick-turned-megalomaniac Mag- neto to play nice long enough to reshape events. Singer pulls no punches as he advances the narrative through the fastidiously furnished 1970s storyline, delivering a marvelous period piece at the heart of his audacious creation, complete with plenty of iconic prompts and contemporaneous cues. Aside from the historical Photos by ALAN MARKFIELD/MARVEL/ incidents crucial to the plot – namely, the Vietnam War and the Paris TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX Peace Accords – there is a delightful meticulousness with which the Above left, from left, Sun Spot (Adan Canto), Kitty filmmaker re-creates the milieu, from the expressive fashion and Pryde (Ellen Page), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) and music of the era to various witty pop-culture references, such as a Colossus (Daniel Cudmore) prepare for an epic battle “Sanford and Son” episode appearing on a security monitor and a to save their kind in “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” Pong arcade cabinet turning up in a basement.
