Football fever

By Alyson Brodsy and Deara Ball · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12:49 a.m.

I don't claim to know much about football, or any sport for that matter, but that doesn't mean I am any less excited about the approaching NFL season. In fact, I have been looking forward to it for quite some time. And yes, I know not everyone chooses to root for the Colts like me, but I have made my peace with football fan reality.

When a game is just a game

By Matt Mattucci · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12:48 a.m.

For the past week, all but one of the 70 players on the IU football roster have had nothing but Saturday's home opener on their minds. That one is senior wide receiver Rhett Kleinschmidt, but nobody has blamed him for focusing on other matters.

IU rightfully reaches out to hurricane victims

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12:47 a.m.

When we first heard about the levees breaking and flooding New Orleans, we felt shocked and a bit helpless. There seemed little we could do to help out the victims of this tragedy. Fortunately, this feeling did not sweep over the IU administration. The University has sprung into action to do what it can for those displaced by the catastrophe, and for that, we strongly applaud it.

26 unreleased Zim gems unearthed

By John Barnett · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12:29 a.m.

PBS' American Masters series will air Martin Scorsese's "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan," a chronicle of Dylan's turbulent career from 1959 to 1966, on September 26 and 27. Accompanying the film is this 2-disc soundtrack, which is not so much a cohesive collection of the songs contained in the film itself as it is a primer for this period of Dylan's career, wherein the span of 7 years he went from recording a shrill blues number with a high school friend to redefining rock and roll as the world knew it.

The 'Invisible' talent of Coral

By -Nate Bethea · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12:27 a.m.

There's a joke about Britain's New Music Express: they heap unbelievable praise on every single new band with the hopes that when one of them actually becomes a sensation, they can claim they said it first.

The Buildings where we Study

By Mary P. Hansell · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12:03 a.m.

During freshman orientation, incoming students watch a short video in the IU Auditorium about "dear IU." The video features interviews with several students who express their thoughts on buildings, landscaping and the overall feel of the grounds. Over and over again, everyone says the same thing: "It's just so beautiful." This begs the question: What is it about IU that makes students consider the campus so "beautiful"?

One 'Transporter' is enough

By Sean Abbott · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

Way back in 2002, "The Transporter" was a pretty good movie. It had the perfect blend of car chases through scenic France, not-too-crazy martial arts fisticuffs and appropriately interesting characters.It was shot with the finesse of a good martial arts movie and came with the right kind of charm to make it appealing. Now picture all of that, and toss it completely out the window. That's "The Transporter 2."

Keepin' It Blackalicious

By Adam Aasen · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.m.

In 1987, in an economics class in Sacramento, Calif. a hip-hop group was formed. Xavier Mosley and Tim Parker were just two kids sitting in class arguing about hip-hop -- and they didn't like each other one bit.

Summer movie mindlessness

By C. Warner Sills · Thursday, Sept. 8,2005 12 a.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.

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.

BREW FOR YOU

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

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!"
