A standing 'O' for obscene 'Aristocrats'

By Evan Wade · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Okay, so a guy walks into a talent agent's office with his wife, two kids and a dog. Stop me if you've heard this one. Actually, don't. Chances are even if you have heard it, you haven't heard it the way it's told in "The Aristocrats," a hilarious, if flawed, quasi-documentary from Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller fame) and Paul Provenza.

Money was worth the paper it was printed on, but beer was worth its weight in gold in the snowy Alaskan wilderness.

Meirelles Creates Masterpiece

While the last week of August is usually reserved for releasing the final cinematic flops of the season, there is a sole diamond in the rough, coming in the form of "The Constant Gardener."

Geography worth relishing

By Jonathan Daugherty · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

"Sahara" is director Breck Eisner's first major film. I know what you're thinking, "who would give a novice director a film with a budget of $125 million?" Walt Disney executive and daddy Michael Eisner, that's who. But to be fair, Breck Eisner really did prove himself with this well-directed action movie. As actor Steve Zahn said, "I'm in a real movie!"

'Underclassman' Flunks Out

By Robert O'Connor · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Ah, "Underclassman." This has to be one of the least anticipated movies of the year, up there with "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo." If you saw the previews for this film and thought, "Hey, that looks delightful," then you are a bad person, and I blame you for being the reason that self-indulgent tripe like this is even made.

An opera of vengeance

By Chris Wisner · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Korean director Chan-wook Park's "Oldboy," the second chapter in his Vengeance Trilogy (part one being "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance; part three being "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance"), is the kind of film that acts as a calling card to the cinematic world. Honored with the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival (unfortunately meaning it took second place to Michael Moore's worthless "Fahrenheit 9/11"), "Oldboy" is a film that demands to be seen by all.

Middle-aged bald guy is thrilling

By Ty Schrock · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

In Season 4 of "Curb Your Enthusiasm", Larry David continues to do what he does best: alienate almost everyone around him by saying and doing whatever he pleases, while finding himself in humorous and embarrassing predicaments along the way. Like George Costanza, the "Seinfeld" character based off of him, David has the uncanny knack for getting under people's skin. Even at his most polite, he still refuses to adhere to any normal social standards.

Kanye graduates to sophomore album

By Cordell Eddings · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

According to Kanye West: "It's a celebration, bitches." The Louis Vuitton Don and his disturbing mascot, the Bear, are back in Late Registration, arguably the most anticipated album of 2005, and the cocky Chi-town artist/producer Kanye West will not let us forget it.

Summer movie mindlessness

By C. Warner Sills · Wednesday, Sept. 7,2005 11:18 p.m.

Remember early on in the summer the cool fad in Hollywood seemed to be the claim that this year would prove to be the end of big summer blockbusters, and that the movie-going public was bored with formulaic money-makers. Oh, how these people were wrong.

IUPD to crack down on tailgating during game time; tickets required

By Michael Sanserino · Wednesday, Sept. 7,2005 2:38 a.m.

In four years as assistant athletic director for game management at IU, Kit Klingelhoffer has witnessed a police officer assaulted with a beer bottle, a large fight that partially closed down 17th Street and numerous arrests for anything from disorderly conduct to public urination. All took place in the parking lot.

Riding out the storm: Part 1

By Rami Chami · Wednesday, Sept. 7,2005 2:38 a.m.

I graduated from IU in August and moved to New Orleans to start a graduate program at Tulane University four days before Hurricane Katrina struck. I arrived on a Thursday afternoon and was staying at a hostel on Canal Street whose guests were mostly European and Australian backpackers. Immediately after arriving I was very busy searching for an apartment, taking care of university paper work, and getting settled into the city affectionately known as the Big Easy.
