Mamet play explores cutthroat world

By Joseph S. Pete · Sunday, Nov. 19,2000 11:53 p.m.

It's a world of clock watchers, bureaucrats, office holders -- what it is, it's a screwed up world... there's no adventure to it. Dying breed. Yes it is. We are the members of a dying breed. That's why we have to stick together. -- Ricky Roma, Glengarry Glen Ross

'Susannah' hurt by distracting set

By Gabriel Lewin · Sunday, Nov. 19,2000 11:52 p.m.

Often IU opera will choose an opera of such rarity and beauty that one wonders why it is not more often performed. Such is the case with Carlisle Floyd's musical drama "Susannah," which was the most recent piece produced by the Opera Theater.

The incredible, inedible egg

By by Katie Cierniak and Katie Ciernak · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12:04 a.m.

On a cold winter day, junior Monica Sentmanat handed out hot chocolate to passersby in front of the School of Fine Arts. The steaming drink contained no dairy products. Using soy milk and chocolate syrup, Sentmanat wanted to prove that the vegan diet is possible with slight modifications.

\'Ballad\' deserving of Palme d\'Or

By Chris Sikich · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12:01 a.m.

This extraordinary work of cinematic art nabbed the Palme d'Or at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival and rightly so. Based off a 1958 Japanese film of the same name, this work weaves a glorious tapestry about a remote village where the old, when they reach 70, are taken to an adjacent mountain to die. A woman approaching this age accepts her fate, while her son struggles with its reality.

\'Liquored Up and Lacquered Down\'

By Jason Gaddis · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12 a.m.

There are two things that can make a good album. One is good music, the other is alcohol. With its seventh album, Liquored Up and Lacquered Down, Southern Culture on the Skids (SCOTS) accomplishes both of these, combining intelligent and interesting music with alcohol references galore.

CNN needs glasses

By Jeff Schogol · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12 a.m.

By Nov. 7, CNN must have realized that most Americans were downright apathetic toward this election. So how could the network attract viewers on election night when this year's selection was about as appealing as a choice between a punch to the throat and a knee to the groin? Simple: Treat the election like a basketball game; make the constantly changing score the emphasis of the coverage at the expense of accuracy.

\'Strait Up\' tribute

By Brett Wallace · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12 a.m.

True geniuses in mainstream music are rare. There is little doubt in most minds that Snot frontman Lynn Strait was a genius. On Snot's sole effort, 1997's Get Some, Strait and his Snot cohorts successfully created what they called a "hardcore lounge act," a furious blend of melody and aggression, pensiveness and rage.

'Red Planet' rerun of many other movies

By Eden Kerr Perkinson · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12 a.m.

Why do people go to mediocre sci-fi movies over and over again, seeing basically the same movie, the same plot, the same characters in every single one? My best guess is that special effects are like drugs. Viewers see something they like once but always want to see the newest thing in the next movie. They are always searching for that better high.

Cash falls into mediocrity

By David Rosenstein · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12 a.m.

When reviewing Johnny Cash's latest album, American III: Solitary Man, one must keep in mind the question: Is it better to end one's career when you are ahead or slowly but surely sink into mediocrity? Johnny Cash is a man who influenced not only country but rock 'n' roll as well. He is the Man in Black; he is the rebel to end all rebels. His songwriting and singing reminds one of both white-paneled churches and dark back alleys.

Female emporwerment through Hollywood

By Eden Kerr Perkinson · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12 a.m.

Feeling a little down recently, I have been doing some soul-searching. I've decided that my real life is OK. I still have the same great friends, have made some new ones and have turned 21 and thereby have had more social opportunities than ever. Classes are easy and grades are good. So what's lacking (besides the easy answer: boyfriend)? Recently, at a particularly horrible movie, I figured it all out.

'Billy Elliot' sleeper hit of the year

By Kate Lewis · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12 a.m.

Who would have thought a movie about a boy's love for ballet would turn out to be one of the best films of the year. The British sleeper hit "Billy Elliot" does just that.

Don't go if it sucks

By Brett Wallace · Friday, Nov. 17,2000 12 a.m.

Anyone who knows me is aware that I can be pessimistic -- occasionally bordering on downright ruthless -- in regard to the tastes of the American public. Unlike many of my peers, I don't like entertainment if I don't believe it to be quality. In other words, I won't watch something just because it's on television.
