"content": "\u003cp>There he was, out on Van Ness at 10pm: a man in a mohawk, hiking boots, cutoffs, sunglasses, and a Social Distortion jacket. Not a particularly unusual sight in San Francisco — except that minutes before, he’d been politely applauding a pianist and composer with a string quintet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the way things are going for music in movies, such sights may become more frequent. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Hans Zimmer performed not at Davies Symphony Hall but at the Regency Ballroom and the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, respectively. It seemed almost too surreal: two award-winning film composers, performing on back-to-back nights in San Francisco, at venues that normally host EDM, metal and hip-hop acts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Sy2SIKt61wSNCh1zGh2hXVvotuA6xTyN”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without wanting to actually type the embarrassing phrase “Are film soundtrack composers the new rock stars?,” I can’t help but wonder, well… are film composers the new rock stars?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judging by Hans Zimmer’s sold-out show on Wednesday night (and the people begging for tickets on the sidewalk outside), the answer would be yes. Known for his film scores for \u003cem>The Dark Knight\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Lion King\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Interstellar\u003c/em> and others, Zimmer’s two-and-a-half-hour extravaganza — a hit at Coachella three nights prior — contained every kind of rock ‘n’ roll excess, with constant flash, dazzle and bombast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was not \u003cem>Hans Zimmer Conducts Symphony Orchestra in an Evening of Collected Works\u003c/em>.

One minute, the cluttered bonanza resembled the metal-laden prog-spazz of the 1990s band Mr. Bungle, and the next, it careened entirely into realms previously occupied by John Tesh or Yanni. It was proficiency and virtuosity on crack, an assault on the senses. For his part, Zimmer — with a martini next to plastic bottles of Gatorade atop his piano — egged louder and louder chants out of the crowd, who eventually called for an encore with a canvas of thousands of cell-phone flashlights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Zimmer finished the show, sitting alone and playing the spare piano theme of “Time” from his greatest soundtrack, \u003cem>Inception\u003c/em>, with near-silence in the room, it felt beautiful, pure, and after the previous two hours, completely foreign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is Zimmer’s first full-scale tour of the United States, complete with $35 T-shirts and $20 programs. It’s been so successful that he’s coming back to the Bay Area, \u003ca href=\"http://apeconcerts.com/events/hans-zimmer/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at the Greek Theater, in August\u003c/a>. Could any other living film composer pull off a tour like this, selling out 7,000- and 8,000-capacity venues? John Williams, certainly, could do a \u003cem>Star Wars\u003c/em>-pegged blowout, or possibly Danny Elfman, with the right stage set. The fact is that over the years, even the movie composers with huge cult followings — Bernard Herrmann, Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone, Angelo Badalamenti — have been, on a pop-culture scale, niche interests at best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13090506\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Hans Zimmer performs at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, April 19, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13090506\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hans Zimmer performs at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, April 19, 2017. \u003ccite>(Gabe Meline/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That’s slowly changing. Soundtracks, particularly \u003ca href=\"http://www.factmag.com/2015/04/28/the-100-greatest-video-game-soundtracks-best-ost/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video game soundtracks\u003c/a>, have seen a big boost in the resurgent vinyl format. Last year, horror movie icon John Carpenter proved that composers can \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/06/20/live-review-john-carpenter-godfather-of-horror-music-at-the-fox-theater/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">go on tour and sell out rock halls\u003c/a>. If the trend continues, with any luck, composers like Zimmer won’t have to propose silly ideas like “let’s see if we can make a cello concerto rock” to attract crowds; they’ll be able to let the music breathe. Like Jóhann Jóhannsson. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jóhannsson is an Icelandic composer best known for his scores to \u003cem>The Theory of Everything\u003c/em>, for which he won a Golden Globe, and more recently, \u003cem>Arrival\u003c/em>; he’s also scoring the highly anticipated \u003cem>Blade Runner 2049\u003c/em>. His booking at the Regency Ballroom was a curious one: a venue where I’ve seen hip-hop artists like Chance the Rapper and Future as well as punk bands like Against Me! and Desaparecidos. Jóhannsson’s latest album of original music, \u003cem>Orphée\u003c/em>, is on the globally respected classical label Deutsche Grammophon, and so Tuesday’s show felt a little like Charles Ives booked at CBGB.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13090716\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Jóhan Jóhannsson performs at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, April 18, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13090716\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jóhan Jóhannsson performs at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, April 18, 2017. \u003ccite>(Gabe Meline/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The crowd for Jóhannsson was younger and more diverse than Zimmer’s, but also more restrained and attentive.

The silence in the ballroom added to the feeling. One could hear sheet music being turned, or the thwack-thwack-thwack of the reel-to-reel tape unspooling and hitting the heads of the machine. Songs bled into each other.

No one needs to lean in to Zimmer’s music, because it does all the listening for you. Jóhannsson, on the other hand, draws an audience in to his strange, mesmerizing world, wresting the most out of his notes by playing less of them. And where Zimmer finally got quiet at the end of his set, Jóhannsson finally got loud: a cacophonous crescendo that rumbled and screeched until a sudden cease-fire, met, at last, with a wild standing ovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If soundtrack composers continue to cross over, it will be figures like Jóhannsson keeping the trend honest. On the sidewalk afterward, lots of \u003cem>ohmygodthatwasamazing\u003c/em> could be overheard from wide-eyed audience members — including the one in a mohawk and Social Distortion jacket. A similar reaction is likely for the upcoming reboot of \u003cem>Blade Runner\u003c/em>, due in October, the original Vangelis score of which is a favorite of goth and electronic music fans.

Not a particularly unusual sight in San Francisco — except that minutes before, he’d been politely applauding a pianist and composer with a string quintet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the way things are going for music in movies, such sights may become more frequent. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Hans Zimmer performed not at Davies Symphony Hall but at the Regency Ballroom and the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, respectively. It seemed almost too surreal: two award-winning film composers, performing on back-to-back nights in San Francisco, at venues that normally host EDM, metal and hip-hop acts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without wanting to actually type the embarrassing phrase “Are film soundtrack composers the new rock stars?,” I can’t help but wonder, well… are film composers the new rock stars?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judging by Hans Zimmer’s sold-out show on Wednesday night (and the people begging for tickets on the sidewalk outside), the answer would be yes. Known for his film scores for \u003cem>The Dark Knight\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Lion King\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Interstellar\u003c/em> and others, Zimmer’s two-and-a-half-hour extravaganza — a hit at Coachella three nights prior — contained every kind of rock ‘n’ roll excess, with constant flash, dazzle and bombast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One minute, the cluttered bonanza resembled the metal-laden prog-spazz of the 1990s band Mr. Bungle, and the next, it careened entirely into realms previously occupied by John Tesh or Yanni. It was proficiency and virtuosity on crack, an assault on the senses. For his part, Zimmer — with a martini next to plastic bottles of Gatorade atop his piano — egged louder and louder chants out of the crowd, who eventually called for an encore with a canvas of thousands of cell-phone flashlights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Zimmer finished the show, sitting alone and playing the spare piano theme of “Time” from his greatest soundtrack, \u003cem>Inception\u003c/em>, with near-silence in the room, it felt beautiful, pure, and after the previous two hours, completely foreign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is Zimmer’s first full-scale tour of the United States, complete with $35 T-shirts and $20 programs. It’s been so successful that he’s coming back to the Bay Area, \u003ca href=\"http://apeconcerts.com/events/hans-zimmer/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at the Greek Theater, in August\u003c/a>. Could any other living film composer pull off a tour like this, selling out 7,000- and 8,000-capacity venues? John Williams, certainly, could do a \u003cem>Star Wars\u003c/em>-pegged blowout, or possibly Danny Elfman, with the right stage set. The fact is that over the years, even the movie composers with huge cult followings — Bernard Herrmann, Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone, Angelo Badalamenti — have been, on a pop-culture scale, niche interests at best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13090506\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Hans Zimmer performs at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, April 19, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13090506\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Zimmer.FullStage-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hans Zimmer performs at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, April 19, 2017. \u003ccite>(Gabe Meline/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That’s slowly changing. Soundtracks, particularly \u003ca href=\"http://www.factmag.com/2015/04/28/the-100-greatest-video-game-soundtracks-best-ost/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video game soundtracks\u003c/a>, have seen a big boost in the resurgent vinyl format. Last year, horror movie icon John Carpenter proved that composers can \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/06/20/live-review-john-carpenter-godfather-of-horror-music-at-the-fox-theater/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">go on tour and sell out rock halls\u003c/a>. If the trend continues, with any luck, composers like Zimmer won’t have to propose silly ideas like “let’s see if we can make a cello concerto rock” to attract crowds; they’ll be able to let the music breathe. Like Jóhann Jóhannsson. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jóhannsson is an Icelandic composer best known for his scores to \u003cem>The Theory of Everything\u003c/em>, for which he won a Golden Globe, and more recently, \u003cem>Arrival\u003c/em>; he’s also scoring the highly anticipated \u003cem>Blade Runner 2049\u003c/em>. His booking at the Regency Ballroom was a curious one: a venue where I’ve seen hip-hop artists like Chance the Rapper and Future as well as punk bands like Against Me! and Desaparecidos. Jóhannsson’s latest album of original music, \u003cem>Orphée\u003c/em>, is on the globally respected classical label Deutsche Grammophon, and so Tuesday’s show felt a little like Charles Ives booked at CBGB.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13090716\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Jóhan Jóhannsson performs at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, April 18, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13090716\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannsson.Tape_-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jóhan Jóhannsson performs at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, April 18, 2017. \u003ccite>(Gabe Meline/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The crowd for Jóhannsson was younger and more diverse than Zimmer’s, but also more restrained and attentive. With members of the American Contemporary Music Ensemble — a string quintet augmented by an electric bassist/noisemaker — Jóhannsson alternated between piano and keyboard and, between pieces, switched the prerecorded samples on an old analog reel-to-reel tape machine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jóhannsson’s music combines both doom and uplift — a celestial sound with just enough discomfort to make one sink in their own seat, unsure of the mere act of taking up space. The silence in the ballroom added to the feeling. One could hear sheet music being turned, or the thwack-thwack-thwack of the reel-to-reel tape unspooling and hitting the heads of the machine. Songs bled into each other. No one clapped until the end. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13090717\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Jóhan Jóhannsson performs at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, April 18, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13090717\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/Johannson.Turned-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jóhan Jóhannsson performs at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, April 18, 2017. \u003ccite>(Gabe Meline/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This was far from the ostentatious showmanship of Zimmer’s tour, but more hopeful, in a sense. No one needs to lean in to Zimmer’s music, because it does all the listening for you. Jóhannsson, on the other hand, draws an audience in to his strange, mesmerizing world, wresting the most out of his notes by playing less of them. And where Zimmer finally got quiet at the end of his set, Jóhannsson finally got loud: a cacophonous crescendo that rumbled and screeched until a sudden cease-fire, met, at last, with a wild standing ovation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If soundtrack composers continue to cross over, it will be figures like Jóhannsson keeping the trend honest. On the sidewalk afterward, lots of \u003cem>ohmygodthatwasamazing\u003c/em> could be overheard from wide-eyed audience members — including the one in a mohawk and Social Distortion jacket. A similar reaction is likely for the upcoming reboot of \u003cem>Blade Runner\u003c/em>, due in October, the original Vangelis score of which is a favorite of goth and electronic music fans. No doubt, Jóhannsson’s crowds will grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Dan Stevens, Hank Azaria, Josh Charles, Isaach de Bankole, and others make strong impressions in small roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less effective are the director’s visualizations of Norman’s interactions via montages and split screens. Such self-conscious gambits worked better in \u003cem>Footnote\u003c/em> because that film was largely about the life of the mind, and its conflicts were more internal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie’s other quandary is integral to Cedar’s concept. The refusal to give Norman a backstory ultimately limits the impact of the man’s so-called tragedy. The final chapter’s machinations are fascinating, but they’d evoke stronger emotions if we had some idea where Norman was falling from.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Dan Stevens, Hank Azaria, Josh Charles, Isaach de Bankole, and others make strong impressions in small roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less effective are the director’s visualizations of Norman’s interactions via montages and split screens. Such self-conscious gambits worked better in \u003cem>Footnote\u003c/em> because that film was largely about the life of the mind, and its conflicts were more internal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie’s other quandary is integral to Cedar’s concept. The refusal to give Norman a backstory ultimately limits the impact of the man’s so-called tragedy. The final chapter’s machinations are fascinating, but they’d evoke stronger emotions if we had some idea where Norman was falling from.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But it’s such a cool festival, a celebration of not just all the amazing professional troupes based in the Bay Area, but also the many tap, ballet, modern, and ethnic dance academies we’re lucky to have. The festivities kick off at noon on Friday, April 21, at San Francisco City Hall, with a dance party and flashmob that anyone can join. (See the instructional video above featuring \u003ca href=\"https://www.rhythmandmotion.com/dudley-flores/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rhythm and Motion’s Dudley Flores\u003c/a>), and check out the 100 or so free dance events — cheap thrill alert! — from San Jose (including the sjDANCEco Festival @ Santana Row) to San Rafael. \u003ca href=\"http://bayareadance.org/events/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://vimeo.com/154412337\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>April 21-22\u003c/strong>: The Colorado River is among the most scenic, the most loved and the most abused of American rivers, as it winds\u003ca href=\"https://www.coloradocollege.edu/other/stateoftherockies/expeditions/source-to-sea.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> from the Wind River Range in Wyoming to where it runs dry from overuse as it approaches Mexico’s Sea of Cortez\u003c/a>. (The Colorado supplies 60 percent of the water used in Southern California, so as a state, we’re are part of the problem.) Now, the director Murat Eyuboglu and producer and composer Paola Prestini have collaborated on \u003ca href=\"http://visionintoart.com/projects/the-colorado/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>The Colorado\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, a documentary screened with live music. It’s what Prestini calls an eco-cantata, “a piece that is in this cantata form in that it has an overarching narrative,” Prestini told me on the phone, “but at the same time it’s equal parts a cautionary tale about the environment, and a profound musical experience that hopefully involves many different kinds of audiences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a show at Stanford, \u003ca href=\"http://www.roomfulofteeth.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roomful of Teeth\u003c/a>, cellist \u003ca href=\"http://jzcello.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeffrey Zeigler\u003c/a>, and percussionist \u003ca href=\"http://glennkotche.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glenn Kotche\u003c/a> (Wilco) provide the live accompaniment, with gorgeous music composed by Prestini, John Luther Adams, William Brittelle, Glenn Kotche, and Shara Nova.

Roomful of Teeth is also doing a sold out show at the San Francisco Opera Lab April 23. If you’re lucky you might find a friend with an extra ticket to that show. \u003ca href=\"https://sfopera.com/sfoperalab/season-two/roomful-of-teeth/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Details here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY-Yf3wjqRk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>April 21-23\u003c/strong>: I was nerding out on Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel (and \u003ca href=\"http://www.thedrawingsofsteranko.com/aghp.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jim Steranko\u003c/a>) way before they were cool. So I’m happy to include Silicon Valley Comic Con on our list this week. David and I aren’t sure why actor John Cusack (\u003cem>Say Anything, High Fidelity\u003c/em>) is there, but you’ll find all the familiar comic con tropes: a costume contest, and appearances by Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Grant Gustin (The Flash), Billy Boyd (Pippin), and any number of Star Trek actors. But with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak producing the show, you’ll also find scientists and engineers making presentations, including researchers from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.seti.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SETI Institute\u003c/a> (Search for Extraterrestrial Life), space scientists from NASA, and astronaut Buzz Aldrin, a real superhero. \u003ca href=\"http://svcomiccon.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Details here. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neJ0ngA-4Fk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>April 27\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.bigfreedia.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Freedia \u003c/a> is the Queen of Bounce, a style of hip-hop out of New Orleans. Her life has bounced high and low the past few years: She worked with Beyoncé on the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYcAosqv23Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Formation” video\u003c/a>, but then she nearly went to jail last year over charges she was illegally using federal housing funds. That hasn’t slowed down \u003ca href=\"http://www.fuse.tv/shows/big-freedia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her reality TV show\u003c/a> or her touring schedule. Expect a lot of twerking and a great deal of fun.

It’s what Prestini calls an eco-cantata, “a piece that is in this cantata form in that it has an overarching narrative,” Prestini told me on the phone, “but at the same time it’s equal parts a cautionary tale about the environment, and a profound musical experience that hopefully involves many different kinds of audiences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a show at Stanford, \u003ca href=\"http://www.roomfulofteeth.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roomful of Teeth\u003c/a>, cellist \u003ca href=\"http://jzcello.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeffrey Zeigler\u003c/a>, and percussionist \u003ca href=\"http://glennkotche.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glenn Kotche\u003c/a> (Wilco) provide the live accompaniment, with gorgeous music composed by Prestini, John Luther Adams, William Brittelle, Glenn Kotche, and Shara Nova.

Or maybe they demonstrate how easy it is, but how often the right thing is ignored in favor of the expedient. This dilemma is familiar to anyone paying attention, vexing arguments that range across the landscape of human activity. Yes, it might be true that a particular practice is harmful in the long run, but the short-term benefits (usually jobs, economics) trump all other concerns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I mean is best expressed in the story of Dick Goin, a man whose decades-long fight to remove two dams and return Chinook salmon to their ancestral spawning grounds in Washington's Elwha River is poetically profiled in Jennifer Galvin & Sachi Cunningham's \u003ca href=\"http://www.thememoryoffish.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>The Memory of Fish\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (Saturday, April 22, 3pm, Roxie Cinema).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116825\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1400px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3.jpg\" alt=\"Dick Goin, The Memory of Fish\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116825\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dick Goin, The Memory of Fish\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Goin's relationship with the river began when he was just a kid. His family suffered the ravages of the infamous Dust Bowl, sold what little they had and headed west from southwestern Iowa. They arrived on the banks of the Elwha \"poor as rats,\" surviving starvation because of the river's rich natural resources, most particularly the hefty salmon that thrived there. Goin spent his whole life on the river, which was dammed early in the 20th century to produce hydro-electricity, fueling mills that produced everything from tires to canned fish. At 18, Goin went to work at Rayonier Incorporated, servicing the machines powered by the dams he despised for 41 1/2 years. He recounts witnessing juvenile salmonids hit the pollution generated by Rayonier and going belly up and wonders at his inaction. \"Should I have then said, 'Hell, I won't work here anymore?'\" How would he have put food on the table for his young family? He says, \"You accept the necessities of life...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/5GwGlEX0ktw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The combination of the dams, which inhibited spawning, the canneries that chopped and packaged the fish and other companies that spewed pollution resulted in a huge decline of the Chinook population. Goin's own fishing records track reductions in the size and quantity of the fish. Once Goin retired, and most of the factories previously powered by the dams went out of business, he began to lobby for the restoration of the river. Of course there was resistance. No one had ever undertaken such a \u003ca href=\"http://projects.seattletimes.com/2016/elwha/\" target=\"_blank\">massive dam removal project\u003c/a>. What would happen to the river if it was returned to its former state?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This timeline brings up a troubling question.

There were indeed people devoted to a principle that was a little more enlightened than it was self-interested. In reaction to the industrial farming practices of the late 1960s and early 1970s, a small band of \"hippies\" sought natural food alternatives for themselves, their families and their communities. However, making a living as an organic farmer was exceedingly difficult in an era when the term was at best obscure and at worst denigrated.

They adopted farming practices and innovated food distribution operations out of necessity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Images of this early movement are endearingly hilarious, looking how you would expect coastal Californians looked in the early 1970s.

As with all things, organic farming grew because there was a demand. The cash register really is capitalism's ballot box. After a couple of decades in obscurity, the baby lettuce (AKA \"spring mix\") craze of the early 1990s put organic on the map. A couple well-publicized pesticide health scares later, large supermarket chains began to feel the demand. Increased value brought larger producers, many switching their commercial practices to organic. The film's final act locates the current seeds of the movement's future, perhaps even as a redress to atmospheric carbon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An interesting point that quickly rushed by was the impending retirement of the organic \"elders.\" This made me wonder about the fate of all the organic farmland this group of pioneers has cleared and converted. Is it in the process of sub-division, turning into vineyards or remote homes for California's coastal elite?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, the question arises: what is the right action? Is it favorably aligned with the self interests of those who struggled in obscurity for decades before finding themselves at the vanguard of a food movement that generated a great deal of health and wealth? \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116828\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1400px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala.jpg\" alt=\"Dusty Crary visits his father's grave; Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116828\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dusty Crary visits his father's grave; Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman \u003ccite>(Beth AAla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If Susan Froemke and John Hoffman's Discovery Channel documentary \u003ca href=\"http://rancherfarmerfisherman.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (Wednesday, April 26, 6pm, Castro Theatre) is any indication, the answer would be ... complicated. Ultimately, the documentary's characters fight a good fight, protecting land from oil drilling, adopting till-free farming practices and creating fishing quotas to responsibly steward the delicate resources of a fishery.

They fought not only to shut this activity down, but worked with conservation groups to permanently secure adjacent areas and limit the uses for their own properties for generations. Their self interest conserves the landscape for their descendants, while also protecting over a million acres from development. It's a net good, with direct benefits for a select few. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, the cadre of Louisiana commercial fishermen featured in the film created fishing quotas for themselves, but only after the stocks of red snapper from which they made their living very nearly collapsed. Finally, after years of warning, they came together to cooperatively save the fishery on which their lives depended. Why did this action take so long? What is it about the human species that makes this kind of enlightened action so elusive? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I suppose there is no answer to this question, only a willingness to continue asking that is the hallmark of the San Francisco Green Film Festival.

Or maybe they demonstrate how easy it is, but how often the right thing is ignored in favor of the expedient. This dilemma is familiar to anyone paying attention, vexing arguments that range across the landscape of human activity. Yes, it might be true that a particular practice is harmful in the long run, but the short-term benefits (usually jobs, economics) trump all other concerns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I mean is best expressed in the story of Dick Goin, a man whose decades-long fight to remove two dams and return Chinook salmon to their ancestral spawning grounds in Washington's Elwha River is poetically profiled in Jennifer Galvin & Sachi Cunningham's \u003ca href=\"http://www.thememoryoffish.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>The Memory of Fish\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (Saturday, April 22, 3pm, Roxie Cinema).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116825\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1400px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3.jpg\" alt=\"Dick Goin, The Memory of Fish\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116825\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/The-Memory-of-Fish-3-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dick Goin, The Memory of Fish\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Goin's relationship with the river began when he was just a kid. His family suffered the ravages of the infamous Dust Bowl, sold what little they had and headed west from southwestern Iowa. They arrived on the banks of the Elwha \"poor as rats,\" surviving starvation because of the river's rich natural resources, most particularly the hefty salmon that thrived there. Goin spent his whole life on the river, which was dammed early in the 20th century to produce hydro-electricity, fueling mills that produced everything from tires to canned fish. At 18, Goin went to work at Rayonier Incorporated, servicing the machines powered by the dams he despised for 41 1/2 years. He recounts witnessing juvenile salmonids hit the pollution generated by Rayonier and going belly up and wonders at his inaction. \"Should I have then said, 'Hell, I won't work here anymore?'\" How would he have put food on the table for his young family? He says, \"You accept the necessities of life...\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/5GwGlEX0ktw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/5GwGlEX0ktw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The combination of the dams, which inhibited spawning, the canneries that chopped and packaged the fish and other companies that spewed pollution resulted in a huge decline of the Chinook population. Goin's own fishing records track reductions in the size and quantity of the fish. Once Goin retired, and most of the factories previously powered by the dams went out of business, he began to lobby for the restoration of the river. Of course there was resistance. No one had ever undertaken such a \u003ca href=\"http://projects.seattletimes.com/2016/elwha/\" target=\"_blank\">massive dam removal project\u003c/a>.

As with all things, organic farming grew because there was a demand. The cash register really is capitalism's ballot box. After a couple of decades in obscurity, the baby lettuce (AKA \"spring mix\") craze of the early 1990s put organic on the map. A couple well-publicized pesticide health scares later, large supermarket chains began to feel the demand. Increased value brought larger producers, many switching their commercial practices to organic. The film's final act locates the current seeds of the movement's future, perhaps even as a redress to atmospheric carbon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An interesting point that quickly rushed by was the impending retirement of the organic \"elders.\" This made me wonder about the fate of all the organic farmland this group of pioneers has cleared and converted. Is it in the process of sub-division, turning into vineyards or remote homes for California's coastal elite?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, the question arises: what is the right action? Is it favorably aligned with the self interests of those who struggled in obscurity for decades before finding themselves at the vanguard of a food movement that generated a great deal of health and wealth? \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116828\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1400px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala.jpg\" alt=\"Dusty Crary visits his father's grave; Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116828\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/6_Rancher-Dusty-Crary-visiting-fathers-grave_Beth-Aala-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dusty Crary visits his father's grave; Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman \u003ccite>(Beth AAla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If Susan Froemke and John Hoffman's Discovery Channel documentary \u003ca href=\"http://rancherfarmerfisherman.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (Wednesday, April 26, 6pm, Castro Theatre) is any indication, the answer would be ... complicated.

They fought not only to shut this activity down, but worked with conservation groups to permanently secure adjacent areas and limit the uses for their own properties for generations. Their self interest conserves the landscape for their descendants, while also protecting over a million acres from development. It's a net good, with direct benefits for a select few. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, the cadre of Louisiana commercial fishermen featured in the film created fishing quotas for themselves, but only after the stocks of red snapper from which they made their living very nearly collapsed. Finally, after years of warning, they came together to cooperatively save the fishery on which their lives depended. Why did this action take so long?

"content": "\u003cp>Has any movie franchise ever swole up more unrecognizably than \u003cem>The Fast & the Furi\u003c/em>-ad? Its opening heat, back in 2001, was just a humble \u003cem>Point Break\u003c/em> knockoff. Fourteen years later, \u003cem>Furious 7\u003c/em> overcame the death of its second banana, Paul Walker, during production to gross a billion-and-a-half dollars. By then, the series had reinvented itself as an globetrotting heist/spy/wrestling franchise, one as reliant on digital animation and unbound by verisimilitude as any superhero epic. Why just rip off \u003cem>Point Break\u003c/em> when you can rip off … everything?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vin Diesel sat out a couple of sequels before returning as producer, star, and self-described “\u003ca href=\"http://feature.variety.com/vin-diesel-a-furious-mind/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">saga visionary\u003c/a>” with the 2009 model, \u003cem>Fast & Furious\u003c/em>. (His vision for the saga did not include definite articles.) The series found its golden mean with 2011’s \u003cem>Fast Five\u003c/em>, when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson came aboard as a Federal agent shrinkwrapped in GSA-issue Under Armour. If the affable, versatile Johnson wasn’t a bigger draw than the surly, one-note Diesel back then, he certainly is now. The frame is no longer big enough for the both of them: When Johnson threw an Instagram fit while shooting the new \u003cem>The Fate of the Furious\u003c/em> last summer, it smelled like Universal’s (totally ripped) publicity arm was cooking up a Diesel v. Johnson rivalry to sell the movie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the two leads’ mutual disdain is the most convincing thing in it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/JwMKRevYa_M\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe if incoming director F. Gary Gray had found a way to channel their umbrage onscreen, this gears-grinding eighth chapter wouldn’t feel so bloated and listless. Instead, Gray — a journeyman whose relevant experience includes the 2003 remake of \u003cem>The Italian Job\u003c/em>, but who also made the much-loved comedy \u003cem>Friday\u003c/em> and the N.W.A. biopic \u003cem>Straight Outta Compton\u003c/em> — uses every trick he can to avoid having Diesel and Johnson on set at the same time. It’s a hindrance that probably made his days easier, but it lets the air out of the movie’s tires, bigly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson is still second-billed to Diesel, but it’s clearer than ever that he’s eating Diesel’s lunch now. This time around, he even takes command of Dominic Toretto’s bickering band of con men (plus Michelle Rodriguez and Nathalie Emmanuel) when Dominic Toretto — everyone in this movie is in the habit of speaking his first and last name aloud, as though language has not yet invented a pronoun that can contain his full Diesiality — gets blackmailed into betraying his “family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ll withhold the specifics of how he’s blackmailed (coughcoughsecretlovechildcough); but for a franchise that wants so desperately to reek of sweat and engine grease, these movies sure are soapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover: if this crew was anything like the family Diesel’s character is forever insisting it is, he would just tell them he’s in a jam and ask their help instead of making them believe he’s gone rogue. (“Dominic Toretto has just gone rogue!” one of them says, helpfully.) But even a sliver of vulnerability would be too much for the brittle, tatted-up ego of Dominic Toretto, née Vin Diesel, Saga Visionary. We’re supposed to root for this fathead jerk over Imperator Furiosa?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, right: His blackmatrix is Charlize Theron, who mumbles her way through monologues about “choice theory” when she isn’t typing and seething into a headset. This sort of techno-temp role has defeated many an Oscar-winner; it isn’t Theron’s fault that she’s no better than Tyrese Gibson here. She plays an evil hacker called Cypher, described by Ludacris as “like a digital Act of God!” Maybe he meant to say “a digital God”? Don’t worry about it. The only words that matter is this liberally body-sprayed universe are vrooooom and screeeeeeech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though these films lost any sense of street-level plausibility many software upgrades ago, \u003cem>Fate of the Furious\u003c/em> remains true to their chop-shop aesthetic in the sense that its flashiest parts are all stolen. Its big Act Two set piece, wherein hundreds of driverless remote-controlled cars assault a diplomatic convoy in lower Manhattan, is an expansion of a bit from \u003cem>Terminator 3\u003c/em>, 14 years ago. It was a good gag back then and it still is, but as with so many \u003cem>Furious\u003c/em> action sequences, it’s marred by conspicuous computer animation that makes it seem about as dangerous as a screensaver, no matter how hard Diesel frowns at his steering wheel. The finale, which involves a bunch of muscle cars plus a tank chasing a hijacked Russian submarine (!) across an ice shelf, is practically photographed but glacially paced. It feels longer than \u003cem>The Hunt for Red October\u003c/em> all by itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, there are only so many permutations of how fast-moving objects can collide with one another. But the Furious-es are even less creative when it comes to their MacGuffins (Electro-Magnetic Pulse generator, nuclear “football”) and their dialogue. In this one, when a bad guy gets ground up by an airplane propeller like that Nazi strongman in \u003cem>Raiders of the Lost Ark\u003c/em> did a hundred years ago, Johnson gets a inspired look and says… “Nasty.” It’s like a placeholder for a real joke no one cared enough to write. I get that these movies are not primarily targeted at English-speaking audiences, but they’ve got a writer (Chris Morgan, who’s done a half-dozen of these) on payroll. He could try writing a little. It would pass the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And time this movie has got: 136 minutes, and the 40 or so good ones are mostly front-loaded. The opening, wherein Diesel resorts to some unconventional driving to win a hairline victory in a Havana street race, has a clarity and tension that’s otherwise absent. Of course, the sequence begins with Diesel telling a Cuban never to lose his “Cuban spirit” and ends with him being swarmed by adoring children. (Once again: He produced this movie.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson gets a fun introduction when we see him off-duty, coaching his daughter’s soccer team. He then proceeds to discuss supposedly Top Secret intelligence outdoors, in the open, at said soccer game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apologists for this series insist its bone-deep dumbth doesn’t matter; and its roided-out box office tells no lies. But these movies fundamental laziness is an insult to every writer who ever lost sleep trying to make a genre movie make sense. Trying is for suckers, these movies tell us. Jokes are for chumps. Writing is for losers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fate’s MVP is Jason Statham, who played the villainous Owen Shaw the last time around but he’s on our team now. He’s almost as funny in this as he he was in \u003cem>Spy\u003c/em>. Watching \u003cem>The Transporter\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Rock\u003c/em> antagonize one another (Johnson promises to “slap that whisker biscuit off [Statham’s] face,” because hair is a touchy subject with this crowd) is as good as this movie gets — save for a two-scene drop in by a certain Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, who looks like she’s having more fun here than anybody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its a weird takeaway from what used to be a muscle-car franchise, but \u003cem>The Fate of the Furious\u003c/em> adds up to a compelling case for energy independence: More Johnson, more Statham, and a lot less Diesel. \u003c/p>\n\n",
