Pacino shines but 'Simone' falls flat

By Colleen Koch and Colleen Star Koch · Thursday, Aug. 29,2002 12 a.m.

Who is Simone? That's the question on everyone's mind as they leave the movie, directed by Andrew Niccol and featuring veteran actor Al Pacino. "Simone," a fun satire of the Hollywood film industry, makes its point, but falls somehow flat in the process.

Case's sexy voice carries new album

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, Aug. 29,2002 12 a.m.

Neko Case, or her producers, seem dead-set on making you realize that she has a fabulous voice. On her new album, Blacklisted, her voice sits amongst voluminous amounts of reverb and echo. All of this is used to make her voice sound as sweltering and sexy as possible, and it works. Her bare midriff portrait on the cover makes a nice visual companion for the disc.

Hatfield's collection solid gold

By Ryan Whirty · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 11:06 p.m.

Long before Alanis and Jewel and the seemingly endless stream of pop divas they begat, Juliana Hatfield was struggling to be viewed as an equal in a male-dominated business. After leaving the groundbreaking but underappreciated Blake Babies, she joined the Lemonheads, playing bass and backing up boyfriend Evan Dando. But she couldn't remain in such a supporting role.

Can't get enough

By Jessica Halverson · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 10:13 p.m.

I'm sitting here listening to the best of Robert Palmer. I realize how this may be wrong on many levels. One -- as the Weekend editor in chief, maybe I should pretend to have a good taste in music and not love '80s pop. Two -- It's only 9 a.m., and on a Monday, I should be sleeping in and reveling in my personal weekend adventures as a representative of the publication all about the esteemed event. But really, who cares?

A great film -- but wait on the DVD

By C. Warner Sills and Parker Wittman · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 10:10 p.m.

When it came time for Peter Jackson's critically acclaimed box office beast "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" to be released on video and DVD, the evil geniuses at New Line Cinema decided that one release in August, far before the lucrative holiday season, was not enough. Why not release one version now, soon enough to keep the public's LOTR palette nice and wet, and then, when their wallets are helpless to the black hole of consumption known to most as "holiday shopping," release another?

Being a son of a legend doesn't make you great

By Ryan Whirty · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 10:08 p.m.

When I first looked at the cover of Legacy, I picked up something familiar about Floyd Taylor's face. When I started listening to the CD, I recognized something in his voice. I was somewhat puzzled and intrigued.

Homage to the Godfathers of heavy metal

By Yahya Chami · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 10:03 p.m.

Fire and brimstone is not just the domain of Southern Baptist preachers. Before Rob Zombie, before Marilyn Manson, before the antics of all sorts of rockers, there was Black Sabbath. Sabbath is the origin of heavy metal. If James Brown is the Godfather of Soul, Sabbath is the Godfather of all of today's big metal bands, from Korn to Metallica to Def Leppard.

At the Drive-In members move on to better things

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 9:50 p.m.

If you arrived early at Weezer's show last month at the Verizon Wireless Music Center, the opening band you saw was Sparta. Sparta has unusually good credentials, featuring three former members of At the Drive-In. Jim Ward, Paul Hinojos and Tony Hajjar might as well be known as The Guys in At the Drive-In Who Didn't Have Afros. And unlike Samson, perhaps they have gained strength without all that hair.

Throw a party -- but don't get busted

By Natalie A. Trout · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 9:32 p.m.

The smell of beer, liquor and cigarettes, the blurred vision and the sight of flashing blue and red lights through the window is a scene all too familiar to many college students. It's the scene of cops busting a party. The Princeton Review may have given IU its new national reputation as the No. 1 party school, but that doesn't mean students can party all year long and not worry about getting busted.

Summer brought drafts, hirings, Nike to IU sports

By -Val Tsoutsouris and Aaron Beard · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 8:57 p.m.

This summer for an IU sports fan was more about questions than answers and worries than affirmations. Does the football team have a shot to beat William and Mary Aug. 31? Why haven't we gotten any big-time men's basketball recruits? What is the Sears Directors' Cup? What goes with cream and crimson? Football head coach Gerry DiNardo has both done and said interesting things over the summer. He vowed to go to every high school in the state and to introduce himself to the state's coaches upon his hiring and made it to about half of them before recruiting rules forced him off the road. He will visit the second half next offseason.

What party?

By Elise LeBlanc · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 3:48 a.m.

IU was ranked the number one party school in the United States last week, based on what administrators said was an unscientific survey conducted by the Princeton Review in its annual Best 345 Colleges, released Aug. 20. This ranking was determined by individual questions about the school's social scene, in which students responded that IU had an abundance of beer, hard liquor, marijuana and a large greek presence. All IU surveys were submitted online -- the method the administration preferred in cooperating with the Review.

Packing up, moving out

By Jackie Corgan · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 3:36 a.m.

It's that time of year again. Parents are packing up the U-hauls, and students are scurrying to jam everything they can into minivans and the trunks of their cars. While most new students are moving in for fall classes today, those who experienced Intensive Freshman Seminars are already settled in.

Enrollment not affected by Sept. 11

By Adam Van Osdol and Adam VanOsdol · Wednesday, Aug. 28,2002 3:36 a.m.

Early figures from the Office of International Services show that Sept. 11 appears to have had no detrimental effect on the enrollment of international students at IU. In fact, Lynn Schoch, associate director of the OIS, expects the number of new foreign students to increase this fall.
