Online comment
of the week.
Quick question: does anyone
know if the ve second rule
also applies to liquids?
The Weekender has 10,121
Facebook fans. Find us now at
Facebook.com/theweekender
I will never cease to be amazed
at the will of a small group of
fans of zombie movies.
On Sept. 12, the Weekender
staff assembled a group of mod-
els and makeup artists in the
alley outside JVW, Inc. in Scran-
ton with a harebrained scheme
make these people members of
the undead and have them chase
a willing victim.
The result was a lot of fun, as
evidenced by this weeks cover
story and accompanying photos.
Makeup artists Dolores
Moyles, Jim OHora, and Da-
nielle M. Quinn and models
Heather Brodt, Katie Gattuso,
John and Lyndsey Hughes, Do-
minique Kozuch, Jessica Man-
ning, Kris Marconi, and Jillian
Soprano joined staff writer Rich
Howells and I as members of the
undead who hunted down model
Jacinta Appel a trooper who,
among other tasks, climbed a
treacherous fence between a
downtown Scranton parking
garage and hobby shop.
While we learned that some
people smile when they scream,
we also learned one thing thats
common in most zombie films.
Ordinary people, whether theyre
strangers or not, will unite under
unusual circumstances for a
common goal.
Of course, its a lot simpler to
say youll join a photo shoot than
it is to, for example, join a roam-
ing horde of survivors when the
dead walk the earth.
I hope Ill find the same level
of camaraderie should the latter
happen sooner than the former.
Inside, youll find more good-
ies from beyond the grave, in-
cluding Richs interview with
Night of the Living Dead star
Judith ODea and IronE Single-
ton, the actor who portrays T-Dog
in AMCs The Walking Dead.
Both will appear at Infect
Scranton this weekend as the
event shambles through Scranton
and Taylor.
Weve also got the details on a
self-defense course specially
tailored towards fighting off the
undead. One trainers tip? If you
happen to rip off a zombies arm,
beat them with it.
Good advice in just about any
situation.
Enjoy this weeks edition, and
thanks for reading.

KIRBY CENTER
HAS BUSY SPRING
It was announced Friday that
legendary comedian, actor, and
philanthropist, Bill Cosby, will
return to the F.M. Kirby Center
for the Performing Arts (71
Public Square, Wilkes-Barre)
on Friday, April 5 at 8 p.m.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Sept.
21 at 10 a.m.
One of Americas most prolific
comedians, Cosby has dazzled
generations of fans with his
comedy routines, also captured
on his iconic albums and best-
selling books such as Father-
hood and the groundbreaking
The Cosby Show.
Time Magazine called the
long-running sitcom an encou-
raging sign of maturity in matters
of race, and The Cosby Show
dominated the number 1 spot for
years, earning nearly-unanimous
critical praise.
For his philanthropic efforts
and positive influence as a per-
former and author, Cosby was
honored with a 1998 Kennedy
Center Honors Award. In 2002,
he received the Presidential Med-
al of Freedom, Americas highest
civilian honor, and he is the 2009
recipient of the Mark Twain Prize
for American Humor.
In a 2009 interview with the
Weekender, Cosby spoke fondly
yet tongue firmly implanted in
cheek of the hot dogs from Abes
(419 S. Main St., Wilkes-Barre)
that he enjoys while in town.
I go in there and they lay out
250 hot dogs, and I go down the
line, and I make a choice of two
of them. And theyll prepare
them and put onions and a tea-
spoon of chili. In the dressing
room, Ill eat em and open up a
bottle of Evian and a high-blood-
pressure pill, he said.
In addition, the Kirby an-
nounced Monday that the NBC
reality/talent show is bringing its
live version of Americas Got
Talent to Wilkes-Barre on
March 16 at 8 p.m.
The Americas Got Talent
Live: All-Stars Tour will feature
the most popular acts from the
shows last two seasons, and it
will be hosted by special tour
emcee Jerry Springer.
Springer hosted the second and
third seasons of Americas Got
Talent and has hosted Amer-
icas Got Talent Live, a show on
the Las Vegas Strip that features
the winner of each season as the
main performance.
A full line-up for the live,
national tour is yet to be an-
nounced.
FRIENDS CELEBRATE
A LIFE LOST
A benefit event for the family
of the late Marie Blizzard, who
passed away on Sept. 7, is set for
Sept. 23 from 4-10 p.m. at the
River Street Jazz Caf (667 N.
River St.,Plains). Performers
will include Stingray, West Side
Blues Band, Still Hand String
Band, and George Wesleys
Small Ax Orchestra, according
to event planner Charlie Singer.
Admission if $10 at the door,
and additional donations will be
accepted. All funds raised will
help Blizzards family with fu-
neral costs, Singer said.
BLOGCON COMETH
NEPA BlogCon, a daylong
conference and networking event,
is set for Sept. 29 at Luzerne
County Community College.
The event is designed to bring
together bloggers of all experi-
ence levels, as well as those
interested in marketing, social
media, and communicating
through the internet. All proceeds
will benefit The Arc of Luzerne
County & the NEPA Veterans
Multicare Alliance.
Tickets are $65, and student
tickets are available for $25 with
proof of valid school ID. They
can be purchased online at ne-
pablogcon.com, and admission

refreshments; a SWAG bag; and

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
SIGNATURE WEAPON
School officials in Grand
Island, Neb., told Hunter
Spanjer that the way he signs
his name violates the schools
anti-weapons policy and that
hell have to abandon it. Hun-
ter is 3 1/2 years old, deaf,
fluent in the language Signing
Exact English, and uses a
hand flourish as his unique
signature (registered with
SEE), except that officials say
the flourish looks like Hunter
is threatening with a weapon.
At press time, Hunters par-
ents were still negotiating
with officials.
MAKE THE DIME,
DO THE TIME
Many Americans are
still outraged that no
major banking offi-
cials were punished
for the malpractices
that produced the 2008
financial collapse.
However, in July, Ri-
chard Eggers, age 68
and with an otherwise-
unblemished record,
was fired by Wells
Fargo -- only because
of a 49-year-old con-
viction for attempting
to rig a laundromat
machine by making a
dime out of card-
board. Wells Fargo
said its hands were
tied by a new federal
law requiring dismiss-
al of anyone with past
convictions for trans-
actional crimes
(aimed at identity theft
and money-laundering). (Fed-
eral Deposit Insurance Corpo-
ration, which administers the
law, has a waiver procedure,
but the process is complicat-
ed, and Wells Fargo said it
feared being fined if it did not
terminate Eggers promptly.)
NO COAXING
THE COPS
Two hours after an early
morning multiple-shooting in
Detroit on Sept. 1, a 36-year-
old man reported to a fire
station to turn himself in.
However, firefighters were
unable to persuade police to
come arrest him, and eventu-
ally, reported WXYZ-TV, the
firefighters put the man in a
taxi and sent him to a police
station.
UNHAPPY ENDING
A 30-year-old man in Provi-
dence, R.I., told police in
August that he was the victim
of a sexual assault, and police
are investigating. The man
said he had gone to the North
Main Street Spa for a profes-
sional massage and was un-
able to avoid a sex act admin-
istered by his masseuse, Yo
Yo. (The Providence Journal
did not publish his name be-
cause he claims to be the
victim of a sex crime.)
BLAME IT
ON THE RAIN
In July, Labor Party counci-
lors in the Netherlands de-
manded that weather forecast-
ers be punished for incorrect
predictions -- since poor
weather drives down resort
business, resulting in slower
hiring. One hotelier in Hoek
van Holland lamented that the
forecasters, ironically, were
getting worse (d)espite hav-
ing more forecasting tools
than ever before. (A week
before that, tourist managers
in Belgium reportedly called
for less pessimistic fore-
casts, and one urged meteo-
rologists to pay as much
attention to sun as they do to
rain.)
NICE GUYS
GET EJECTED
In a lower-level Norwegian
soccer league match in May,
player Talat Abunima was
ejected for arguing with a
referee who had just given
him the benefit of a penalty.
He was not fouled, he insist-
ed. (I) tripped over my own
feet, he said later. It was
unbelievably clumsy of
me and ... I felt I had
to speak out. The
referee first warned
Abunima (a yellow
card) for complaining
and finally red-carded
him, telling a local
newspaper afterward,
It was a clear penalty.
The player got it all
wrong. I dont think
the players know the
rules properly.
A LITTLE
GUN SHY
The two robbers who
walked into the 7-
Eleven in Arlington,
Va., in August appar-
ently neglected to coor-
dinate in advance and
thus left empty-handed.
As the first man pulled
a gun and demanded
money, the second, a
few steps behind,
tossed a firecracker on
the floor, apparently to
intimidate the clerk. However,
it mainly served to scare the
gunman, who dropped his
pistol and ran out the door.
TTYL, YOLO TWEETER
Five young men died in
Ontario, Calif., in September
when their car rolled over as
many as five times after
speeding through a red light
at 1:45 in the morning. One of
the occupants had sent Twitter
messages during the ride re-
ferring to being drunk, go-
ing 120 drifting corners, and,
daringly (in two messages),
YOLO (you only live
once).
WASH YOUR HANDS WHEN
YOURE DONE
An unidentified mother of twins was
photographed at the Thanksgiving
Point Deli in Lehi, Utah, in September
apparently toilet-training her toddlers
at a table. Another patron witnessed
the mothers bringing in what at first
glance looked like booster seats, but
then the momundid the kids jumpsuits
and placed them on the potties. A spo-
kesperson for the deli (located10 miles
south of Salt Lake City) said the inci-
dent was over by the time it was re-
ported to her, but the witness put a
photo on the Internet (picked up by TV
stations) so that millions of people
could disapprove of the mothers par-
enting.

Most people only dream of
singing in their favorite band, but
Rachel Antony-Levine lives it
every day.
While she came singing out
of the womb, playing piano and
performing in musicals around
age 7, taking up the flute by 9,
and writing and performing
songs at 13, she wasnt looking
for a career in music, but it soon
worked out that way.
Antioquia formed seven years
ago when guitarist Adley Penner
and drummer Craig Miller met in
Ecuador and then moved to Co-
lumbia in the department of
Antioquia, where they not only
took their namesake but wrote
songs that would eventually
become the bands first album.
Two years later, they moved to
San Francisco, adding other
members and fans like Antony-
Levine and her future husband,
Tomas Salcedo. The pair was so
enamored by the bands eccentric
mix of rock, funk, and West
African percussion that they
asked the group to perform at
their wedding. But just after
Antioquia booked a huge East
Coast tour, singer Maddy Strei-
cek quit the band. The thought
that she could replace her didnt
even cross her mind.
I wasnt even thinking about
it. I was just thinking, Oh gosh,
what is Antioquia going to do
without Maddy because shes
such an amazing presence and
force in the band? And then
Tomas said to me, Well, babe, I
was thinking what if we just quit
everything and join Antioquia?
And I told him thats ridiculous.
Theres no way. I was right on the
verge of finishing school, and we
were planning on moving to
Chile together, Antony-Levine
recalled.
I started thinking about it, and
I figured out a way that I could
kind of save my degree and also
join the band. Then I realized
that this was just a pretty in-
credible opportunity that prob-
ably wouldnt come around
again.
After rehearsing for just three
weeks, with Salcedo joining on
guitar, they hit the road and
havent looked back since, even
playing their own wedding.
The group just released their
third full-length album and their
first with the husband and wife
team, Viajero, in May, which
continues to broaden their unique
sound.
I dont know if it was ever a
conscious decision, but Adley
and Craig really set the tone early
on for what making music in
Antioquia was going to be like.
That process was going to have
no filter whatsoever. Anything is
fair game, anything that we bring
to the table that sounds good,
thats fun to play, thats going to
work. If its harder than we can
play at the time, then all the
better. Well just practice and try
to make it work, she explained.
That vibe is just incredibly
open, incredibly eclectic, in-
credibly ambitious, and really
fun. Nothings ever allowed to be
boring. If we get bored, we
changed something. Thats how it
works.
Much like their music, if Anto-
ny-Levine gets bored of describ-
ing the band to others one way,
shell simply change it up.
For a while, I was telling
people that we do Afro-Colum-
bian psychedelic love funk,
which people really like but I
dont know if they really under-
stood what it meant. Now some-
times Ill just say progressive
rock mixed with traditional
rhythms, but then other times I
say its Primus meets FelaKuti.
So maybe I should tell people all
three of those, she mused.
When the band plays the 2012
Meeting of the Minds Festival in
Equinunk on Sept. 22, she hopes
the music will resonate with
audiences, no matter how they
describe it.
I love the process of a new
crowd. I love seeing what they go
through because its pretty stan-
dard. The first song we usually
hit them with something weird
right in the beginning so they
know what theyre getting into.
We dont want to start off too
digestible because it could give
you a cramp later on, Antony-
Levine described.
Usually people are confused-
Some of them are smiling
while theyre confused. But then
usually well play a song thats
just kind of like straight dance
funky that just gets them on the
dance floorThen, by the time
we get down on the floor with
our traditional drums, which we
do at least twice every show,
people are in the process of los-
ing their minds. That is the mo-
ment when were like, Great,
now were all in this moment
together and we can just lose our
s--t completely. W

nfect Scranton,
Northeast
Pennsylvanias
rst ever zombie
convention, has it all for
genre enthusiasts a themed
pub crawl, 5K race, panel
discussions, movie screenings,
music, and even a brunch.
Possibly the most essential
aspect is the celebrity guests,

giving fans a chance to meet
the cast and crew of their
favorite horror lms and
TV shows and take away an
autograph or a story worth
bragging about.
Each guest has many of
their own stories to tell,
though few may have as much
insight into the origins of the
zombie craze as Judith ODea,
who starred as Barbara in
Night of the Living Dead.
The 1968 George A. Romero
lm was the rst to introduce
zombies and establish all the
rules the undead cannibals
live, or die, by.
As time went by and the
popularity of the lm grew,
I became more and more
amazed of the longevity of the
concept of zombies, ODea
recalled in a recent phone
interview. The way George
did it had its own uniqueness,
so initially, I didnt question
whether or not this was going
to be around for a long time.
Simply thrilled to be in her
rst feature lm, she had no
idea at the time she returned
home to the Pittsburgh area
to shoot Night at the age
of 23 that it would be hailed
as such a classic decades
later. Initial reactions to the
shocking gore and
violence also gave
little indication
that this
would be the case.
My parents had calls from
people saying, How could
you let your daughter be in
such a violent lm? she
acknowledged. We were on
the verge of changing the way
horror lms were made. Yes,
horror lms became much
more graphic so, so violent
and I guess we had a hand
in that. Does it bother me? A
little bit, but still, I was a part
of something special. Thats
what I hold dear.
Those distracted by its
graphic content often missed
the other aspect Romero
became known for in all his
zombie lms the social
commentary. The zombies set
the stage, but the real players
are those struggling to survive,
including the late Duane Jones
as Ben.
ODea insists he was
hired on the strength of his
audition rather than the color
of his skin, but the fact that
he was cast as the hero broke
ground and forced viewers to
look deeper into the movies
observations on human nature.
When that lm came out,
nobody made a big deal in the
script about Duane being a
black man in 1968. Thats one
of the most important things
I cherish about the movie and
one of the things I think that
has made it remain strong all
these years, she emphasized.
(Also) I think that the way
George told it, the way he
kept it moving made it more
a docu-dramaPeople said,
Oh my God, if this ever really
happenedCould it happen?
It brought a sense of realism
with its documentary-type feel
to the storytelling.

Both of these aspects
inuenced writer Robert
Kirkman when he created
The Walking Dead, the
comic-book-turned-TV-
show that has only further
popularized zombies in
modern pop culture.
The Blind Side star
IronE Singleton, perhaps best
known for playing T-Dog
in The Walking Dead
series on AMC, is another
guest at Infect Scranton who
appreciates this facet of the
zombie mythos.
Its symbolic of the world
we live in today, from
race and religion - theres a
nice dose of that in there - to
politics. If you think about
our politics today, its kind
of scary, Singleton told
The Weekender. You see
that these decisions that our
leaders are making serve as a
direct inuence on the people,
and it seems as though these
decisions are making some
people feel like they have to
kind of resort to these zombie
apocalyptic-type tactics in
order to survive.
Much in the same way
that House of Wax starring
Vincent Price terried ODea
as a child, Singletons mother
used to take him to various
Friday the 13th and A
Nightmare on Elm Street
movies that scared him so
much that he avoided the
genre as an actor.
It kinds of traumatized me
a bit, so I was a little hesitant
at rst (to audition). Then I
found out who was on the
project and changed my mind
quickly (developer) Frank
Darabont and (producer) Gale
Anne Hurd, who are legends,
living legends, Singleton
admitted.
I just knew that it had the
potential to be good because
of who was overseeing the
projectThe entire cast, we
all thought the same way. The
writing is good, the execs are
awesome, the crew is great.
Lets see what happens.
What happened was record
setting. The show became an
instant, award-nominated hit,
receiving 9 million viewers
in its second season nale
and ranking as the number
one drama series in basic
cable history in several
key demographics. Season
three, set to premiere Oct.
14, Singleton promises will
be apocalyptic, excitingly
spelling out O-M-G.
Somebody compared it
to if you took all those great
shows that have been on TV
like 24, Lost, to you name
it - The Walking Dead rst
episode will be even better
than all of them put together
combined, he enthused. I
think people are going to get
a decent dose of T-Dog and
nd out a little bit more about
him.
Its a character that he
related to from the beginning.
T-Dogs a good guy. T-Dog
has experienced a lot of
hardshipcomparing it to my
life story. T-Dog is one that is
willing to make the ultimate
sacrice if its going to help
someone else or to better
help humanity. He has a great
heart, and hes all about right
over wrong, good over evil,
Singleton described.
In the end, The Walking
Dead even converted
him into a walker fan,
becoming a Green Brigade
Commander of the online
Zombie Survival Crew and
writing a song about the show.
Attending the convention
specically for its charitable
aspects, he is looking forward
to sharing the love with fans
along with ODea.
Being able to talk to the
people who have sustained
(Night) is one thing I love
more than anything else.
Thats really why I go to these

conventions, ODea insisted.
Despite representing two
different generations of
survivors, they may also share
a little mutual adoration for
each others work.
(Night) was probably
the rst zombie movie I
ever sawI was freaked
out, Singleton said. Ive
seen pretty much a lot of the
other zombie movies since
thenbut denitely Night
of the Living Dead is one
that is most memorable. It
was probably a lot more real
than the rest of them, maybe
because it was the rst.
I think The Walking Dead
is incredibly well done,
ODea added. That they have
spent so much money and
so much time on the zombie
theme blows my mind. W
Night of the Living Dead actress Judith ODea, left, and actor IronE Singleton, center at right with fellow cast members of

self-defense techniques on
Saturday, Sept. 22 from 3-4
p.m. at Riverside Jr./Sr. High
School (310 Davis St., Taylor)
during Infect Scranton.
Thomas normally offers
appointment-only classes in
Tsunami self-defense, a co-ed
reality-based, street smart
course; Tsunami combative,
Taylor self-defense expert tweaking techniques
for local zombie convention
a more aggressive form of
self-defense; Girl on Guard,
a womens-only self-defense
class; and Mushin-Do, the most
traditional self-defense system
with a colored belt rank system.
While he also holds
community presentations on the
importance of standard self-
defense throughout the year,
his course on preparing for the
onslaught of the undead will be
a rst.
Were taking real self-
defense techniques that we
would apply to anyone, and
were tweaking those moves
slightly to be more aware of
teeth and ngernails so you can
avoid becoming infected, he
said. Its going to be as real as
we can make it.
Giving a real demonstration
includes having his would-
be attackers dressed as the
living dead, including fellow
instructor Shanta Lee and some
students from Riverside who
have worked with Thomas in
the past.
Essential self-defense,
whether its for the end of the
world or the end of the week,
rely on a few key points.
Being aware of your
surroundings and the
environment around you is
key, Thomas said. You also
should know who is around
you. Is there more than one
zombie or thug? Those things
are key. All self-defense, before
any techniques or martial arts
moves are applied, start with
how you conduct yourself and
how your carry yourself in
public.
In all seriousness, every
more that were showing is
a reality-based self-defense
move.
While the tactics are real,
theres a lot of fun to be had
with the tongue-in-cheek
preparation for the fallout.
Its going to be a blast,
Thomas said with a laugh.
My biggest fear, actually, is
that people who are hardcore
zombie fans will say a certain
move wouldnt work against a
zombie.
Should he nd himself in
Raccoon City, Evans City, or
any other town plagued by the
undead, Thomas said that hed
chose a very large machine
gun with a huge clip and lots
of ammo in order to get out
alive. If one wasnt available,
hed wield a samurai sword.
I trained in samurai swords,
so Im procient in those. Last
resort would be a machete, he
said. W

Rob Thomas traditional
self-defense classes, visit

F
ilms and comic
books may carry tips
on the best ways to
kill a zombie, but
the best offense may be a good
defense.
Thats why Rob Thomas, 39,
sensei of the 570 Dojo (R. 418
S. Main St., Taylor), is excited
to present a unique brand of
Rob Thomas, standing,
and Shanta Lee from the
570 Dojo rehearse their
zombie defense tactics
ahead of Infect Scranton.

Drive-By Truckers frontman
Patterson Hood has been syn-
onymous with a prolific, sympa-
thetic narrative of the American
South. Hoods penchant for the
third-person realism of Joe No-
bodys everyday existence in a
brutal socio-economic wasteland
litters Truckers classics like
2004s epic The Dirty South.
On this, his third solo release,
Hood is less a mouthpiece for
Rebel discontent, instead playing
the bittersweet examiner of all
things life-affirming as well as
life-taking.
Hoods songwriting has always
been sharp. His snapshots of a
beaten-down drunken binge are
in focus on opener 12:01, Hood
vividly recalls crossing a county
line to where the liquor laws are
different. The acoustic thump of
Leaving Time is an ode to the
emotions swirling before heading
out on tour, family man Hood in
slightly demure posturing tells of
doing what youre told without
a fuss, running the errands and
loading the bus.
The familiar craggy Drive-By
Truckers guitar crunch is present
in Better Off Without, as Hood
gives barbed-wire testimony to
an impending disastrous break-
up. Hearing lines like I only
held her down until she stopped
fighting is at once raw and
cathartic.
Whereas the characters and
situations in his Truckers output
are usually left with a sense of
non-resolution and awkward
discomfort, Hoods work here is
treated to a quiet sense of opti-
mism and awareness.
In an album mostly void of the
Truckers triple-guitar bombast,
Hoods country-inflected roots
ramble lets this material inhale a
deep breath of contemplation, as
seen in the tribute to a friend
since passed in Come Back
Little Star - Hoods desperate
piano accompaniment echoing
pain with each note.
A deeply personal statement
from a songwriter that knows
how to capture life in a bottle,
this solo set is Hood on his most
sincere musical footing. W

'Sun' shines
with past power
Listening to Pinks new album is like
watching a reality show about the ups and
downs of her relationship with her hus-
band, motorcycle racer Carey Hart: Shes
over him at times, under him at others.
There are fights, and makeups, and then
more breakups. There are I hate yous
and I love yous.
And all of it makes for good listening.
The Truth About Love, the singers
sixth release, is an exceptional album that
takes you through Pinks rollercoaster of
emotions, as her scratchy voice pierces on
songs to create not just enjoyable tunes,
but beautiful ones. Like 2008s Fun-
house, on which Pink detailed her then-
estrangement from her husband, Hart
remains the centerpiece of Pinks emo-
tions.
I hate you, I really hate you so much I
think it must be true love, she sings over
a fun beat on True Love, which gets a
cute assist from Lily Rose Cooper (aka
Lily Allen). Pink wants her lover to return
on the rock-filled How Come Youre Not
Here, shes explosive on first single
Blow Me (One Last Kiss) and wonder-
ing why love went wrong on the eerie and
beat-driven Where Did the Beat Go,
singing lyrics like I was naked and wait-
ing for you to come back and you
couldnt see anything beyond your babys
momma (the couple had their first child
last year).
Walk of Shame is hilarious, sassy,
upbeat and signature Pink. Beam Me
Up is slow and gorgeous, and Just Give
Me a Reason is an amazing, bluesy duet
with Nate Ruess of fun.
The album, which also features Emi-
nem and was mostly produced by Greg
Kurstin, continues to showcase Pinks
versatility: This firecracker can pretty
much sing a song from any genre. W

movie review
For those who havent been
keeping track, Resident Evil:
Retribution marks the fifth
entry in the inexplicably popular
Resident Evil franchise.
Yes. The fifth entry.
You would think that the se-
ries fanbase would have gradu-
ated from junior high, thrown
away all of their silk-screened
Dragonball Z shirts and moved
on years ago, but you would be
wrong. Instead they continue to
embrace a film series that some-
how manages to be action-
packed yet incredibly dull.
The sight of an Eastern Eu-
ropean woman in quasi-bondage
gear kicking a chainsaw wielding
zombie in the face should be
provoking a lot more reactions
than mild depression and over-
whelming drowsiness.
Hinting at the boredom that
lies waiting just ahead, Resident
Evil: Retribution opens with an
overlong sequence in which
series protagonist Alice (Milla
Jovovich) talks directly to the
camera and slowly walks us
through the tortured mythology
of the last four Resident Evil
movies.
This is so long-winded and
excruciating you get the feeling
that it would have taken far less
time to just run the last four
Resident Evil movies back to
back instead.
From there we learn that the
sinister Umbrella Corporation is
keeping her prisoner within a
massive underwater facility
where zombie outbreaks were
staged within model cities that
resemble Tokyo, Moscow, and a
generic suburban neighborhood.
As Alice attempts to escape,
shes pursued by Jill Valentine
(Sienna Guillory), a one time ally
whos now transformed into a
ruthless assassin (sigh) you
know what? Who cares? Besides,
does anyone watch these movies
for their surprisingly complicated
plots?
Heres what Resident Evil:
Retribution is really about: a
group of people who mumble out
exposition in an unwavering
monotone and occasionally per-
form backflips in slow motion.
Now repeat this for the next 90
or so minutes and you have
something that vaguely resem-
bles a movie.
It takes a special kind of hack
to botch a cant miss premise
and Paul W.S. Anderson is that
hack. Throughout his long direct-
ing career, Anderson has careful-
ly drained the fun out of potential
trash classics like Alien vs.
Predator and forever damned
them to an eternity spent in the
DVD bargain bin at Wal-Mart.
Resident Evil: Retribution
couldve been pure electrifying
garbage but, much like the rest of
his films, its a humorless slog.
You would think a guy who
primarily specializes in the action
genre would realize that when
you make these kinds of films
you have to raise the stakes or
gradually heighten the action in
some way. But in this movie all
of the action sequences share a
bland uniformity and every inter-
minable fight scene is indis-
tinguishable from the last.
Occasionally, Anderson will
stumble upon an interesting idea
(some of the characters have
good and bad clones) or a strik-
ing image (such as Michelle
Rodriguez oozing bullets out of
her index finger) but he immedi-
ately glosses over it in favor of
more footage of spent bullet
casings slowly traveling through
the air.
Talentless and unimaginative,
Anderson seems to live in a
world were 1999 never ended and
The Matrix is still very rele-
vant.
Granted, being that Resident
Evil: Retribution is the second
to last entry in a mediocre fran-
chise, nobody was expecting all
that much. But then nobody was
expecting it to be this bad either.
About the only positive thing
that could be said about Resi-
dent Evil: Retribution is that
Jovovich looks good in bangs.
And thats not easy to do. W
Alice (Milla Jovovich) is up to her old zombie-killing tricks. Her same, tired old zombie-killing tricks.

Family members will tell you
that Adam Dunning cant go 10
minutes without talking about his
original movies.
I can probably make it about
eight minutes, the 23-year-old
director from Carbondale said
with a laugh.
That never-ending drive to
make movies is just one part of
the formula that helped Dunning
pin down the Best Director award
at the 2012 San Antonio Horrific
Film Festival earlier this month
for his second feature-length
movie, Laughter.
The film was also nominated
for Best Feature and Best Make-
up for the special effects work
done by Dunning, Jessica Lind-
gren, Danielle M. Quinn, and
Carolyn Seibert.
The plot of Laughter follows
Joey (Rocky Petroziello), a
young man ridiculed at school
and home for his obsession with
clowns. At a going away party
following their high school grad-
uation, several of Joeys class-
mates stage a prank that turns
fatal.
The friends swear themselves
to an oath of secrecy about the
events of that night, but theyre
gruesomely picked off by a mys-
terious man dressed as a clown.
Laughter follows Dunnings
film career that began with the
local premiere of the inFected
in Feb. 2011. Writing for the most
recent movie occurred between
April and Oct. 2011, and a cast-
ing call was held in Moosic in
Jan. 2012. Filming began in
March and wrapped in June,
Dunning said.
Assembling a cast allowed
Dunning to control all of the
action from behind the camera.
With 14 main cast members and
about 40 extras, he never had to
fill in as an actor like he had in
the inFected.
The accolades he received in
Texas werent limited to the Best
Director win. Several horror fans
in attendance told him he could
do dangerous work with some
new production equipment.
For now, however, hes focused
on bucking the Hollywood trend
of recycling old characters with
reboots.
I dont have to have a
$150,000 budget or a $200 mil-
lion budget to make a movie and
worry about whether people are
going to like it or hate it. I just
made a movie for $3,000 com-
pared to what they can do
$200,000, he said.
If you have a good story and a
good cast, it doesnt matter what
kind of equipment you really
use.
Laughter will premiere lo-
cally at Marquee Cinemas (301
Lackawanna Ave., Scranton) on
Sunday, Oct. 28 at 6 p.m. Tickets
are $5, and Dunning recom-
mends purchasing one of the 500
available seats in advance by
reaching him at (570) 903-7427
or dunnlacka@yahoo.com. Addi-
tional showings may be added if
the film is popular, he said.
In addition, DVDs of Laugh-
ter and a companion CD with
music from both of his films will
be available at the premiere for
$15.

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
It has been six years since rap-
per DMXreleased a studio album
prior to dropping Undisputed
last Tuesday. While the Ruff
Ryder has not lost his bark, it
definitely seems as if he is more
deliberate with his bite.
Music always evolves and
morphs into different things, X
said in explaining his stance on the
current state of hip-hop. The rap-
per called in to The Ralphie
Radio Show last week. At the
same time, man you got young
minorities who are successful. Not
only that person, but Im sure he
has a crew with him thats at
least 10 people with a job, doing
something positive. Whether I
approve it or not, Im glad that
theyre successful in what theyre
doing.
The emcee, born Earl Simmons,
is not just talking a big game. His
new disposition has kept him out
of trouble with the law for over a
year, and afforded him the time to
write and record his latest LP.
Im just focused on my music
again, he said. To have it taken
from me, I learned to appreciate it
as much as I do now. When I went
in for this album, I felt like I did
when I recorded my first album. I
was hungry for it. I wanted it. I
needed it.
Certainly fans that discovered
DMX with 1998s Its Dark and
Hell Is Hot are happy to hear him
rapping instead of reading about
him on TMZ. But now in 2012,
there are a whole new generation
of hip-hop fans that may know X
more for those headlines. The
rapper notes that he was not influ-
enced by a potential new audience
when recording this album.
The beauty in the truth is that
its timeless, X said. It will reach
every generation, as long as you
keep it the truth.
DMX believes his new music
can do just that. The rapper re-
leased the album on Sept. 11, and
will donate his proceeds from first
week sales to 9/11 victims and
families. X also briefly comment-
ed on his still-in-progress gospel
music album. The New Yorker
said the LP is definitely coming
and is pretty much done.
ERIKAVANPELT PLANS
LIFE POST-IDOL
American Idol season eleven
finalist Erika Van Pelt did not
forget her roots, and shell be
returning to them soon.
Im letting my lease run out in
Massachusetts and Im actually
moving back to Warwick (R.I.),
Van Pelt revealed on The Ralphie
Radio Show. I cant really say
exactly what it is yet, but Im
going to be doing some work with
Alex and Ani.
The Ocean State-based jewelry
company will be enlisting the help
of the Idol singer for new jingles
and other commercial-related
services. Other than that, Van Pelt
will be working on a new album,
independently.
I dont have a label or a man-
agement contract as of right now,
she said. But I do want to make a
record, and I know if I have to
fund it independently, I totally
will. Ill do more DJ gigs; whatev-
er I have to do to make that hap-
pen.
- Listen to The Ralphie Radio
Show weeknights from
7p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.

An effort to give back to his
hometown led Kevin Davis
down an unusual path that
ended on a movie set.
Davis, a Wilkes-Barre na-
tive and current Taylor resi-
dent, recently completed
shooting on Man in a Box,
a film he wrote, produced,
directed, and starred in.
The film is a way for Davis
to give back to the city he
once lived in. He explained
that he served time in a cor-
rectional facility in 1990 for
selling drugs.
Instead of becoming an
asset to Luzerne County, I
became a liability, he said.
Thats never left me. Ive
always regretted that, and Ive
always wanted to redeem my-
self.
Part of that goal was
achieved in 2005 when he
became a nurse, he said, but it
continues with the completion
of Man in a Box.
The film came to him in an
unusual way. While he was
unemployed earlier this year,
he began thinking about ways
to stay creative. With some
encouragement from Luzerne
County Community College
instructor Sally Healey, he
was on his way to developing
the script for the film.
Man in a Box addresses
the series of difficult conse-
quences that the main charac-
ter, Lloyd, faces including his
actions to kill his abusive
parents that results in his
sisters accidental death. He
aims to kill himself after the
episode, but he has run out of
bullets.
Hes haunted by that,
which is where the box comes
into play, Davis explained.
Lloyd is treated in a mental
institution for 20 years and
emerges in a very different
world. An unfortunate set of
circumstances sets him on a
crossroads with members of
the mob.
Driven by his heavily Ca-
tholic faith, Davis said Lloyd
becomes somewhat of a reli-
gious vigilante in the search
for justice.
I would have never thought
in a million years that I could
write a feature film, Davis
confessed. Writing was
something that I didnt think
was a strength of mine, and I
still dont, but it was a lot of
fun. It got a life of its own
once I started writing it.
Some critical networking
led Davis to work with Tom
Peeler, who really polished
the script a great deal.
The film attracted actors
from as far as Texas and sup-
port from a wide variety of
local businesses who provided
catering services and loca-
tions to shoot. Man in a
Box was filmed in Pittston,
Kingston, Wilkes-Barre, Ply-
mouth, and Taylor, according
to Davis, and shooting wrap-
ped this weekend.
Its been a joyride for me,
and the support is just hum-
bling, he said. For me to go
from beginning to end to
where we are now in the time
that I was able to do it, I just
cant believe it, he said.
DynaCore Films, Davis
production company, is plan-
ning a crowd-funding cam-
paign on www.kickstarter.com
to raise funds for post produc-
tion. Davis hopes to premiere
the film locally and submit it
to film festivals once it is
completed. W

novel approach
theater listings
Home has always been a place
portrayed as our connection to
consolation. However, in Grego-
ry Hills debut novel, East of
Denver, home proves to be
anything but that charming sign
plastered in spaces across Amer-
ica.
Enter protagonist Stacey
Shakespeare Williams. Shak-
espeare is a 30-something city
slicker who left home for a place
without any connection to the
world he once knew. For him,
home is nothing short of a
plague a place of dust and
memories that can blow away in
the blink of an eye.
The story begins with the
death of Shakespeares cat. Find-
ing it unfit to bury his beloved
pet in his backyard, he leaves for
his hometown of Dorsey, a ghost
town east of Denver, to lay his
cat to rest.
Readers soon learn that in
Shakespeares absence, his aged
father, Emmett, has sunk into
senility, transforming from a
man adored for his sharp wit to
one severely diminished at the
onset of Alzheimers.
When Shakespeare returns to
his childhood home, he finds
that his father, Emmett, is on the
brink of failure. While it be-
comes Shakespeares duty to
save his familys dwindling es-
tate, the struggle becomes less
about finances and more about
the bond between father and son.
Shakespeare realizes that a
corrupt banker manipulated
Emmetts senility into submis-
sion for his own wealth. But, all
is not lost. Shakespeare begins to
resolve the seemingly ceaseless
issues that have piled up since
his departure.
Characters Vaughn Atkins,
D.J. Beckman, and Clarissa
McPhail are all pieces of Shak-
espeares past that he also chose
to leave behind. These characters
live their lives reminiscing about
the past one of hopes and
dreams that have since fallen to
the wayside.
In some instances they seem
stereotypical. Much of that is
due to the way Shakespeare
depicts them. As Shakespeare
begins to immerse himself back
into Dorsey, he finds that his
friends are much more compli-
cated and supportive than they
appear.
Shakespeare comes across
undefined in many aspects. He is
lifeless and missing something
integral a connection to the
people he has left behind. How-
ever, as the novel develops, so
too, does Shakespeare.
Each character seeks their own
resolve to improve their life, but
the force of the novel stems from
this group of mishaps coming
together to help Shakespeare
settle the score and save Emmett
from ruin.
While reading, you may ask
yourself if it seems appropriate
to laugh. The answer is obvious.
East of Denver is pains-
takingly funny the novel
offers a deep, dark look into the
real life issues that make society
uncomfortable. When we look
back to the past and think of
home, complications and embar-
rassing memories may flash
before our eyes.
One thing will always remain
true the people you chose to
make those memories with be-
come that home, and that is
something that stays with you
forever. W

Infinite Improbability
By Rich Howells
I hate to break this to you,
ladies, but zombies dont want
you for your brains, either.
Yes, men are pigs, but more
importantly, zombies crave hu-
man flesh, not just your cranium
candy. There seems to be a bit of
confusion on this topic, so before
you attend the Infect Scranton
zombie convention this weekend,
or that supposed zombie apoc-
alypse occurs that everyone
cant seem to stop talking about,
I felt I should provide this handy
little guide to all things zombie
to help clear up any confusion
you might have about those lov-
able reanimated carcasses:
The modern zombie, and all
its basic rules, came from one
43-year-old low-budget, black
and white classic, though they
were called ghouls in those
days.
Director George A. Romeros
first full-length feature, 1968s
Night of the Living Dead,
would not only shape the rest of
his career, but horror films as we
know them. Originally conceived
as a comedy about aliens and
teenagers, the rough script thank-
fully took a much darker turn
when George and co-writer John
Russo rewrote it to tell an I Am
Legend-inspired story (the
novel, not the Will Smith movie)
about a group of random survi-
vors trapped in a farmhouse that
is surrounded by the flesh-eating
deceased who have come back to
life.
While the actors later admitted
that much it was improvised, the
movie brilliantly balanced B-
movie schlock with genuine
horror, delivering something
audiences had never seen before.
Initially, Night was lambast-
ed by critics for its shocking gore
and violence, but by including a
strong black man in the lead hero
role and taking chances with its
downer ending, film lovers later
recognized that there was more
beneath the surface and latched
onto its social commentary and
memorable end-of-civilization
scenario.
The idea of ghouls craving
human meat was established,
along with the most important
rules if you get bit by one,
you become one of them, and the
only way to truly stop them is to
destroy their brain.
Zombies dont just want to
eat your brains, and they rarely
make requests.
Speaking of brains, one thing
that is stuck in the American
subconscious is the idea that
zombies prefer the gray matter in
your skull, but let me assure you
zombies dont discriminate
when it comes to fresh body
parts. Zombies first called out for
Braaaiiins! in the 1985 horror
comedy The Return of the Liv-
ing Dead, though the title is
misleading this is not a sequel
to Night despite Russo being
involved in the creation of the
story.
Romero continued to establish
his own thematic zombie uni-
verse with 1978s Dawn of the
Dead, 1985s Day of the Dead,
and 2005s Land of the Dead,
while Return took a more
lighthearted and campy look at
zombies.
Return remains an unapol-
ogetically 80s cult classic, but its
public legacy seems to boil down
to that one iconic line uttered by
the undead. How brainless.
Zombies walk and are pretty
dumbat least for now.
The idea of the zombie
originated as someone who was
hypnotized or controlled by voo-
doo or witchcraft, but film fans
later applied this term to Rom-
eros monsters because of their
similar mindlessness. Consid-
ering George is the godfather of
the modern zombie, I take his
ideas as zombie bible.
If theres one thing scarier than
a hoard of zombies overpowering
you, its a hoard of zombies that
could potentially learn how to
overpower you. As he establishes
throughout his original series,
zombies have the potential to
learn and evolve like any other
creature on Earth, using tools or
even simple planning to capture
its prey.
They are simply shells of us,
after all, so the possibility of
remembering their past lives
(and, consequently, skills) re-
mains a threat.
So could they, eventually, learn
to run? Not in Romeros world,
as corpses have a tough time
maneuvering due to rigor mortis,
but the celebrated 2002 film 28
Days Later, while influenced by
George, established a new type
of zombie that is infected with a
Rage virus, and, therefore, isnt
exactly dead. These fast zombies
were continually popularized in
the 2004 Dawn remake and
various video games, but to me,
the classics are the ones to follow
in case of emergency.
I mean, running zombies?
Seriously? How unrealistic.
The quick guide to
zombie (fan) survival
The Walking Dead owes much of its mythos to
modern zombie master George Romero.

As predicted, the launch of
the iPhone 5 drove Apple fans
into a frenzy, and pumped sales
to new heights a whopping 2
million in the first 24 hours.
Featuring high-speed 4G LTE
connectivity, these devices are
capable of consuming sub-
stantially more data than previ-
ous models. Its only natural to
assume that users of the latest
iPhones will be putting the
connectivity of their new de-
vices through quite a workout
video calls, YouTube uploads,
high-speed music downloads,
and the like.
Curiously, the iPhone 5s 4G
is incompatible with European
4G networks, in contrast to
other 4G phones which can be
used internationally and while
there was rampant speculation
that NFC (Near Field Com-
munications) capability would
be offered in the iPhone 5,
allowing users to pay at the
checkout counter with just a
swipe of the device, that hasnt
happened.
Still, its a big leap from 3G
to 4G, and obviously people are
buying the new iPhone in
droves.
But will any of them spare a
moment of thought for the
networks? Probably not.
An interesting tidbit it IS
possible to run out of Internet
or, more correctly its possible
for a carrier to max out the
amount of data its network can
handle at any given moment.
As more and more new 4G
devices come online, this prob-
lem will only get worse.
There are some bright spots
amid the cloudiness. 4G signals
are specifically designed to
carry data efficiently, so the
problem is not as bad as it
would otherwise be. In addi-
tion, most providers are in-
vesting large amounts of money
in infrastructure upgrades
adding capacity to their net-
works to cope with future in-
creases.
On top of that, theyre run-
ning out of usable spectrum.
The government, the FCC in
particular, periodically auctions
off different chunks of the radio
spectrum for use by commer-
cial carriers and the word is
that the government is planning
on making more available to
commercial carriers, from fre-
quencies previously reserved
for military use.
Even so, the radio spectrum
the usable portions at least is
finite, and while its not an
immediate issue, its possible
were just a few revolutionary
gadgets away from an Internet
traffic jam slowdowns caused
by too many people trying to
use the network at the same
time. At the rate mobile devices
are being phased in, by the time
this happens, it wont just be an
inconvenience it will have
far-reaching implications for
everything from e-mail to e-
commerce.
This is, in part, why some
providers have taken unlimit-
ed data plans off the table.
Despite that, most carriers
are confident that, for the time
being, their networks will re-
main relatively quick and effi-
cient. Time will tell whether
that confidence is realistic or
merely born out of hubris. W

Fridays event on the front
lawn of the Everhart Museum
(1901 Mulberry St., Scranton)
does as much to help the mu-
seum as it does to promote a
variety of healthy foods pro-
duced in northeastern Penn-
sylvania.
The second annual Farm To
Table dinner will take place at
6:30 p.m. on Sept. 21. The
inaugural event was closely
tied to the museums Buds,
Blooms, and Berries exhibit
in Sept. 2011.
We were looking to do
something that celebrated local
agriculture; fresh, organic,
whole foods; and responsible
eating, explained Cara Suther-
land, executive director of the
Everhart. We specifically
targeted produce and foods
created within a 100 mile radi-
us.
The result is a menu filled
with items picked just days
before. Sutherland said Fridays
menu wouldnt be finalized
until Wednesday to guarantee
the highest quality goods make
their way to the table.
The first event welcomed
about 130 people, despite
heavy rains from the remnants
of Tropical Storm Lee. Orga-
nizers are hoping for better
weather for Fridays rain-or-
shine event.
Event co-chair Katharine
Weis, of Clarks Summit, said
that participating farms and
businesses include No Bull
Ranch in Mount Cobb, Hillside
Farms in Dallas, Catherine
Hynes from the Susquehanna
Beekeepers Association, Sus-
quehanna Brewing Company,
and Epicurean Delight of
Tunkhannock.
Eckels Farm in Clarks Sum-
mit is also donating hay bales
that will be transformed into
seating areas for the event.
I love the whole idea of the
fellowship of it a community
coming together to celebrate
local food and drink, added
event co-chair Ali Duffy, who
is also providing interior deco-
ration services. Its a festive
occasion to get to meet your
neighbors. Its terrific.
The family-style dinner aids
the Everhart Museums original
exhibits and programming
like next years planned vam-
pire- and skateboarding-
themed exhibits while keep-
ing admission fees low.
If you think about it, were
trying to replace the loss of
more than $50,000 in state
funding with the complete
elimination of funding through
the (Pennsylvania Historical &
Museum Commission), Suth-
erland said.
In addition to the menu fil-
led with regional refreshments,
music will be provided by DJ
Steven Wallace.
Organizers have also added
an auction to this years event.
Offerings include the chance to
win your own Farm To Table
event catered by Be Life Caf
and Marketplace of Clarks
Summit; an overnight stay at
Hotel Fauchre in Milford; and
an antique piece of furniture.
Tickets for Fridays dinner,
which is open to adults age 21
and over, are $100 per person
and are available at www.ever-
hart-museum.org or by calling
(570) 346-7186. Sutherland
recommends country casual
attire, and jeans are preferred.

The F Word
By Stephanie DeBalko
As much as I love fashion
and clothes, there are certain
pieces of clothing for which
shopping becomes the bane
of my existence. One of them
is swimsuits, and another is
pants.
Unless Ive had one too
many cherry vodka and Diet
Cokes, I generally shy away
from the dance floor during
Queens Fat Bottomed Girls
for fear of close association.
In addition to being pear-
shaped, Im also very tall, so
shopping for pants is usually
a tiresome fiasco that ends
with me reaching for the
same old reliable straight-leg,
blue denim or the occasional
bell-bottom jean.
This fall, I vow it will be
different. For one thing, Ive
finally realized that the num-
ber on the size label, no mat-
ter how high, is irrelevant.
What matters is the fit and
wearing the correct size,
whether its 2 or 22. And this
seasons trends in bottoms are
making me more excited than
ever to start embracing new
horizons.
Allow me to elaborate.
COLORED OR
COATED DENIM
Summers candy-colored
trend is dipping into fall in a
big way. Put a fresh fall spin
on it with the wax-like finish
of coated denim. Paired with
a feminine top, the edginess
becomes balanced and re-
fined.
PRINTED DENIM
From American Eagle Out-
fitters to Marc by Marc Ja-
cobs and from leopard to
brocade, you cant throw a
rock without hitting a pair of
printed jeans. I just stumbled
upon a snakeskin-printed pair
from Sofia Vergaras line for
Kmart, Sofia, that were rea-
sonably priced a great
option if youre looking to
get your feet wet with the
style.
LEATHER PANTS
AND LEGGINGS
Like their cousin coated
denim, leather pants or leg-
gings are an easy way to
incorporate a little bit of
hardness into your fall war-
drobe. Real leather pants can
cost upwards of $500, but
vegan leather is much more
affordable and seems more
comfortable, as most of us
remember Ross Gellers hor-
rible experience with them in
Friends, circa 1999. W

including an unexpectedly
glorious trip to Kmart, visit

Bottoms up
By Stephanie DeBalko
All items shown available at
Revolve Clothing, Revolv-
eClothing.com
This pair of midrise skinnies in Black Brocade by J
Brand, available at Revolve Clothing, is a safe way to
try printed denim. Pair with a billowy oxblood-colored
button-down blouse to kill two fall trends with one
stone.
A long, lacy top would be
the sugar to these vegan
leather leggings spice.

A fascination with the red-
neck way of life is certainly
strong in our country, and it isnt
just Honey Boo Boo that has
everyone watching.
Park Musical is coming back to
our area this weekend and after
the success of its first run, the
Music Box Dinner Playhouse
(196 Hughes St., Swoyersville)
expects a full house.
Having been compared to
Desperate Housewives and
The Best Little Whorehouse in
Texas, this trailer park-inspired
musical comedy is full of bawdy
fun that director Dana Feigenblatt
is sure audiences will love and
laugh at.
Its one of those shows that
you can just sit back and enjoy,
explained Feigenblatt. I think
everyone will fall in love with the
story we are telling and the won-
derful music. We promise to
make you laugh until your sides
hurt!
Park Musical debuted at the
Music Box Dinner Playhouse in
April 2010 and was adored not
only by the cast and crew but the
audience as well.
It played to sold-out houses.
This show was such a hit with
audiences the first time we did it
that we couldnt wait to bring it
back, Feigenblatt said.
The story is focused on the
relationships between a few
bizarre characters living in the
Armadillo Acres mobile home
community. The R-rated tale
follows a stripper on the run
who comes between a Sally
Jesse-loving agoraphobic house-
wife and her dim-witted hus-
band. Throw is a murderous
ex-boyfriend, the electric chair,
and a singing Greek chorus of
trailer park divas and youve got
yourself one heck of a hootenan-
ny.
It has all major components
of a great show, noted Feigen-
blatt. Fun music, a well-written
script, comedic moments and
even touching momentseach of
the seven characters has their
own quirk and story, and once
you put all of these together, you
cant help but laugh and have a
great time.
Feigenblatt isnt just working
behind the scenes on the show
either; shes pulling double duty
as an actress as well.
It was definitely a challenge
but I have a great cast who has
been working really hard, so they
have helped to make my job a lot
easier. We have had a great time
in rehearsals.
Musical numbers throughout
the show will cover a variety of
genres from country and blues to
rock and disco. The play has
many aspects that Feignblatt is a
huge fan of, but her favorite part
isnt revealed until the end.
There is an unexpected twist
in the story that many people do
not see coming. It is also one of
the funniest scenes in the show
followed by an amazing song to
summarize what all these charac-
ters have come to realize at this
point in their lives, she said.
The Playhouse also created a
special offer just for Weekender
readers to redneck-ognize.
We are currently running a
special discount if people men-
tion they saw this story - $35 for
dinner/ show and $16 for show-
only tickets. W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
There are very few people that
Ive ever admired.
Willow Smith. Kenny Powers.
Lamb Chop.
Instead of looking up to others
and following in their footsteps, I
march to the beat of my own
drum. For instance, whats the
point of being on a reality show
that people actually watch when
you could be on ABCs I Sur-
vived A Japanese Game Show
which nobody remembers ever
being on the air?
Why would I be on the real
Dancing With The Stars when
I could be in a local version held
in Scranton, competing against
the vice principal in town?
Why graduate college in less
than a decade when I could be
living in my parents basement
looking for a job that is not avail-
able for me?
Even someone as independent
as me finds someone they aspire
to be like. Most recently, that
person is Jimmy Fallon. I was
never particularly a fan of his
time on Saturday Night Live,
but when I saw him play beer
pong with Betty White, he be-
came my new favorite person in
the world.
Sorry, Mom and Dad. Anyone
who plays beer pong with Betty
White is my American Idol, my
hero, my homeboy.
Sorry, Jesus.
Following his game with
White, the newest addition to my
Bucket List was to play beer
pong with the king of late night
television.
I may not have a hairless back,
or two eyebrows without the help
of hot wax, but if there is one
thing I do have its tenacity. So, I
started requesting interviews
with him, challenging him to a
game of beer pong over an in-
terview. They were all denied.
Last year, when I had my own
entertainment segment on the
NBC affiliate station, I was cer-
tain my requests would be ac-
cepted! Instead - denied, denied,
denied.
After nearly two years of at-
tempts, I decided to stop before
NBCs publicist filed a restrain-
ing order.
When I was visiting New York
City last week, someone ap-
proached me and asked if I
would like the last ticket to watch
Fallon rehearse his monologue
for that evenings show. It was
like it was meant to be.
Watching Fallon in action
reminded me why I wanted to
play beer pong with him in the
first place: Because hes the
f---ing man!
So, Fallon, Im on the prowl,
publicly challenging you to a
game of beer pong, only to re-
mind all the boys and girls out
there to never give up on some-
thing they started - until someone
issues a restraining order on you.
W
Justin has thrown down the beer pong challenge
gauntlet. Will Fallon accept?
Game on,
Jimmy Fallon! W

get your game on
By Robbie Vanderveken
Tag, youre in!
The most recent installment in
the Tekken franchise, Tekken
Tag Tournament 2 (PS3, Xbox
360, Wii U), is a long time com-
ing. The last Tekken Tag Tour-
nament game came out in 2000.
I have spent a lot of time with
the Tekken series and, because
of my love of fighting games, a
new entry is a big deal for me.
Fighting games all have a
learning curve of button combi-
nations, but Tekken has always
had more to learn because of the
deep combo system and a huge
roster of characters to master.
Having thousands of combos to
memorize, strategies to learn,
and teams to experiment with is a
big draw for me, but it is a turn-
off for most people.
If you are new to the series,
there is a mode called the Fight
Lab where you can learn the
basics of fighting, different tech-
niques for each fighter, and a
variety of different training exer-
cises.
Each level of the Fight Lab is
designed to teach the player how
to do some advanced fighting
moves like Binds or Tag As-
saults. These levels can be quite
silly because you do things like
toss pizzas and battle what ap-
pears to be a fat version of Ryu
from Street Fighter.
Vets of the Tekken series
love the complexity, and Tekken
Tag Tournament 2 doesnt dis-
appoint. Its got all the solid
fighting mechanics that you
know and love, like air juggles,
huge combos, precision blocking,
throw breaks, and dodges.
The biggest change to the
Tekken series is the advent of
the Tag Assault system. If you
get your timing right, then you
can use your teammate to keep
combos going and even juggle
your foe in the air.
The varying modes are each
well-polished. Arcade mode is a
string of eight fights with an
ending boss battle, and Ghost
Battle is essentially a never-
ending version of the classic
construct.
Of course it has versus mode,
but it also has Pair Play which
lets four people play on two
teams of two each. Team Battle is
a more traditional, tournament-
style method with up to 16 play-
ers on two teams battling towards
the top.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
also has online modes, but there
is nothing really earth shattering
there. One great touch, however,
is that you get placed in a train-
ing zone where you can practice
fight while youre waiting for
your online game to load.
The online system was also
very stable. I played several
matches and didnt experience
too much slowdown or connec-
tion failures.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
isnt revolutionary, but it provides
classic Tekken game play, an
expanded roster of new and re-
turning characters, and a few
adequate online modes.
If you are a Tekken fan then
you will be getting a great new
addition, and if not, you will be
getting a very polished fighting
game to learn - if you are willing
to invest the time. W

A few weeks ago I took a
road trip with a friend to
New York. If you have ever
driven to upstate New York
this time of year, you know
that its absolutely beautiful.
The route we took was most-
ly back roads, so we were
surrounded by the great out-
doors.
Everything was going great
and we were having an
amazing time until my friend
decided to carelessly toss his
cigarette butt right out of the
window. I was shocked. Lit-
tering of any kind is abso-
lutely not allowed in my
presence, or at all for that
matter!
So I yelled at my friend, a
lot. I explained to him how
damaging littering is to the
environment, no matter how
small the garbage is. After
our long discussion I calmed
down and we returned to
having a good time, until a
passing car did the same
exact thing he did.
I know people litter, but I
never realized how second
nature it was for so many
people to just throw their
cigarette butts out onto the
open road so carelessly!
For countless American
smokers, cigarette butts are
an exception to the no lit-
tering rule. According to
Keep America Beautiful,
cigarette butts are the most
commonly littered item in
the United States and around
the world today. A lot of
folks claim that cigarettes
are a natural type of waste,
but this is simply not true.
Cigarette butts are not
biodegradable. They contain
plastic filters that enter
storm drains and sewers and
get swept into rivers that
carry them out to sea where
they release toxic chemicals
including nicotine, benzene,
and cadmium that are ex-
tremely harmful.
All types of litter have
detrimental affects on birds
as well. Cigarettes are a tox-
ic type of litter that can
poison birds if ingested. A
small amount may not be
life threatening immediately.
However, cigarettes ingested
by birds can cause serious
illness and deformities over
time.
Theres also the threat of
causing a damaging fire.
Killing off wildlife and vege-
tation in a vast area due to a
fire can take years to recov-
er. To be exact, 90,000 fires
a year are caused by ciga-
rettes, according to the Na-
tional Fire Protection Agen-
cy.
Now that you know how
your actions can affect the
environment, I hope youll
think twice before littering
your next cigarette. W
Cigarettes are the single most common form of litter in
the United States, so mind your butts.

One night while I was
downtown, I met a guy
named Shaun. We chatted
while waiting for our cof-
fees and baked goods at
Starbucks and, eventually,
he asked me out. He was
very charming and I happi-
ly accepted to meet him the
next night.
I asked what time he
would be picking me up or
if I should just meet him.
He said he forgot to mention
he didnt have a car and
asked if I could pick him up.
He gave me his address, and
I drove to get him.
We decided to go for a
lovely walk in the park and
chat. We traded stories about
our childhood. He then
asked about my job, and I
told him what I do for a
living. When I asked about
his, he said he didnt have
one.
Then, Shaun dropped a
bomb on me.
He said he was a cancer
survivor who actually died
for five minutes a few years
ago.
What do you say to that?
He then made a joke about
it to make light of the sit-
uation and I, being the zom-
bie movie connoisseur that I
am, blurted out, So, you
died and came back? Youre
a zombie. Shaun of the
Dead! This did not sit well
as he quickly grew dark and
quiet.
Whoops, too far?
We went for coffee, and
while we were at the table
chatting he asked if he could
friend request me on Face-
book. I told him sure, and
within seconds my phone
went off that I had a friend
request.
I accepted and he sunk his
face into his phone - exam-
ining, scrolling, making
faces, all the while silent.
His head shot up and he
looked at me with a be-
wildered expression. I asked
what was wrong and he said
nothing, but we needed to
go. Confused, I got back
into the car and drove him
to his house.
When we had parked, he
looked at me with a very
serious expression. He point-
ed out that I had pictures of
myself with lots of other
girls. I said, Yes, I have a
lot of friends.
He put his hands on my
lap and looked me straight
in the eyes.
I cannot see you again,
he said. It is clear you are
a lesbian.
What?!
He then climbed out of the
car and ran into his house,
leaving me sitting in the
parking lot, flabbergasted.
It was a new first in my
life: I was dumped by a
zombie because I am a lesbi-
an. W

these two.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Lately, youve been craving imperfec-
tion. Youve enjoyed your toast a little
burnt, your clothing slightly frayed, and
your apartment three degrees away from
an ideal temperature. Its not that youve
finally accepted that the world isnt per-
fect, or that youve become that much
more appreciative of those imperfections
(though you have). No, its just that youre
inching closer to the realization Ive been
goading you toward all along. You cant be
the missing piece to every puzzle. The
irony is that once you accept the imperfec-
tions in yourself, youll fit that much more
perfectly into this most imperfect world.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
You spend your days busily zooming
from one responsibility to the next. You
respond to the needs and demands of
others like a good worker bee in a well-
ordered hive responds to the instructions
of her fellows. She dutifullyone could
even say delightedlyflies to flowers as
directed, and gathers the nectar shes sup-
posed to collect. But when youre conked
on the head by the plummeting coconut of
one of your own desires, you end up buzz-
ing around in confused circles for a while.
Thats been your life recently. But now
that youve had time to recover from the
impact of this want that has made itself so
forcefully known, what will you do about
it?
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Whats the point of flowers, ultimately?
Or butterflieswhy are they so colorfully
beautiful? From a prosaic viewpoint, one
could dispassionately explain the evolu-
tionary advantages of such characteristics.
And speaking from the same platform,
one of scientific evaluation, one could just
as easily dispel your self-doubt by point-
ing out that you, too (with all your flaws
and virtues), are the glorious product of
millennia of evolution, with just as much
purpose and beauty as a flower or butter-
fly. I happen to believe that there are many
more levels to the "why" of a butterflys
glory (and yours), beyond mere evolution.
I also like to imagine that flowers and
butterflies enjoy being what they are.
Shouldnt you?
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Get caught making faces at yourself in
the mirror. It also could be fun to politely
reply to rudeness or insult with vicious
imprecations in a sweet-sounding foreign
language (French is good for this). Dont
practice kicking your own ass this week,
nor implicating yourself in plots youre
innocent of, just because they sound cool.
Your sense of fairness is as out of tune as
an abandoned piano, and missing quite a
few notes. My prescription to help you
play in key? Choose one: A. Long, deep,
soul kisses, if theyre available. B. An
intimate dinner, cooked by you, for all
your closest friends. C. A good, hard,
cleansing cryfollowed by a huge help-
ing of your favorite dessert.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Reflect on the oyster, that underrated
and overexploited little mollusk. They
have to evade and resist prying fingers and
hungry mouths eager to pluck them out of
their protective shells and slurp them
down, raw. (Blech.) If they avoid this
gruesome fate, theyve still got to cope
with the bits and bobs that end up inside
their shells and irritate their tender flesh.
The bad news: you feel a lot like these
underrated creatures lately. The good
news: your constant worrying and fretting
about your pastevery careless word,
remembered failure and missed chance
will yield results. You ought to be able to
permanently expel a few of those irritants,
and they wont be as ugly or anticlimactic
as gallstones or eye gunk. Nope. This
week, youre spitting pearls.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
When I close a really good book, I often
feel emotionally shipwrecked. Im not
usually responding to any specific events
in the novel. Its just that finally leaving
characters and their absorbing reality is
almost like being abandoned on a deserted
island, or perhaps being returned to civi-
lization after a long, lonely stay on one.
Its a mixture of relief and loss, similar to
how one might react to the death of some-
one whos suffered a prolonged, painful
illness. This week you might experience a
strange blend of emotions that arent nec-
essarily comfortable sleeping next to each
other. Then again, youve had some pretty
odd bedfellows yourself.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Last night I dreamt I was invited to a
New Years party. Shit, I thought to my-
self, autumn really flew by! Seemed like it
was still summer yesterday, and we still
had a few months to go! Luckily, several
people had pulled together a fabulous
outfit for me (it was a costume party) and
taken care of every detail of my attend-
ance. When I woke up, I thought of you
will people still be taking care of your shit
(including the fun you have) come 2013?
Im worried youre not determined enough
to actually get it together. Luckily, you
have a few months to prove me wrong.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Were all in love with that legend-in-
your-own-time image youve cultivated
around yourself, that of the swashbuckling
hero, the rebellious philosopher, the truth-
seeking activist. The only problem is:
those are all relatively lonely positions.
Sure, the lonesome cowboy/girl might
have a part-time trusty sidekick, but that
doesnt do much to foster a sense of com-
munity, does it? What can you do to
change this solitary destiny? Engage oth-
ers, of course! Easier said than done, but
this week, concentrate on how someone of
your unique talents and status might bring
people together, instead of just impressing/
intimidating them.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Youre capable of accomplishing just as
much as your fellow Earth signs, though
your methods differ. Virgo flits constantly
from duty to duty, as quick and nervous as
a hummingbird. Capricorn executes tasks
as calmly and efficiently as a robot. You
take longer to get going. Like your animal
symbol, the bull, you know all too well the
pleasures of relaxing in the shade of a
cork tree and chewing your cud. But once
in motion, youre nearly impossible to
stop. Since the obligations of the weeks
ahead arent going to complete them-
selves, you might want to start stretching
your legs and sharpening your horns: its
almost time for a full-on charge.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
This is a good week to start growing a
fro that requires you to duck to pass
through doorways, or to wear padded
underwear or shoes three sizes too large.
Heck, put on one of those adorable Sumo
wrestler fat suits. Anything that helps you
to take up more space than youre accus-
tomed to would be good. I perceive that
your achievements have been limited and
compromisednot by your ability or
efficiency, but by not giving yourself
enough room to move. This week, get
used to taking the space you need to do
what youve got to do.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
The world isnt always such a comfort-
able place. Your feet ache from standing in
lines, your ass is punished by hard plastic
seats, and noise pollution violates your
thoughts. Thats why its so easy to under-
stand and appreciate your powerful nesting
instinct, your inordinate fondness for an
abundance of pillows, thick, terry cloth
bathrobes, hot bubble baths, good food,
mellow wine and tender romance. Youre
just trying to make a few soft places in a
sometimes hard, angular and imposing
world. This week, youre likely to miss the
cozy nooks youve created for yourself
but not that much, as youll be busy dis-
covering and enjoying some of the sweet
comfort zones made by other homebodies
like you.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Youre back-to-back with your fiercest
opponent. According to good ol Western
tradition, youre both supposed to walk 10
paces in opposite directions, turn and
shoot. Fastest draw wins. I know youre
not excited that things have gotten this
extreme, but youve also never been great
at that cheesy movie banter that extricates
our Hollywood heroes from situations like
this. Bad humor isnt your strong suit,
fortunately for the rest of us. It never
works in real life anyway. So how can you
defuse the situation? Try swallowing your
pride. It should go down easier than any
bullet, either literal or figurative. W
