Cable dispute much adoabout nothing to watchI t's been more than a week since the Portland-based

ABC affiliate WMTW (Channel 8) went off the air due toa dispute between its parent company, Hearst Televi-

sion, and Time Warner Cable. Meanwhile, subscribersto DIRECTV and the DISH Network expecting to watchVH1, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and other channelsare instead met with an "important message" from acompany official talking about how hard they are workingto bring those channels back.

It's indicative of what's happeningacross the nation as more and morechannels are going off the air.

At the heart of the issue, of course,is money. The content providerswant more money from the cableand satellite companies, who in turnsay they would have to pass theincreased costs along to their cus-tomers. All parties are calling eachother greedy.

They do agree that, with every-thing from the Internet to TV shows on DVD providingmore viewing options, the number of cable and satellitecustomers is dropping. But none of them thus far haveaddressed a prime reason for the drop in viewership, andit really goes to the heart of the situation: The program-ming.

Most of it is crap.My wife and I have talked about dropping our satellite

TV service for months, and it's not because of blackoutsor other viewing options. (Though cost is a factor.) It'sbecause we pay for hundreds of channels and only watcha quarter of them at best.

I don't need two dozen home shopping channels. I don'tneed channels on Zumba, getting the perfect legs or thelatest "miracle bra." I don't like watching people makemoney off others' misery by buying their storage lockers,ripping them off at pawn shops and buying their airportluggage. I don't watch sports except for the World Seriesand the Super Bowl, so I don't need 20 sports channels.

And I resent having one-third of my channel lineupoccupied by pay-per-view movies and games - especiallywhen I can get the same movies and games cheaper at aRedbox or via a phone app.

Even the channels that we used to enjoy - History,Discovery, A&E and the like - have replaced their intel-ligent programming with dumbed-down reality shows.("Swamp People" is an example of "history made everyday?" C'mon.)

So while the cable companies, satellite services andcontent providers all moan and groan about how theother side isn't treating them fairly, I have a suggestion:Offer the type of quality programming we used to get withjust 13 channels. You know, when a show had to be good toget on the air, and was quickly canceled when it wasn't.

Better yet, offer channels a la carte so we don't feellike we have to pay for the Brazilian Butt Channel just towatch the new episode of "Glee."

Maybe then you won't see your viewership erode, youwon't have to fight over every last scrap of coin, and youwon't have to post "important information" about chan-nels that you've blacked out under the guise of "lookingout" for your customers.

Just an idea.MEA CULPA DEPT.: In last week's column, I mistak-

enly wrote that all of the free Friday Noon Concert Seriesshows were being held at Post Office Park in Portland thissummer. All shows through July will be held at Post OfficePark; the August shows will be at Monument Square.

StaffWriter

onny Cox is one of thoseartists who realizesnobody makes it on talentalone. Everyone needs alittle help.

In Cox's case, he got hisfirst big break as an actor in the1972 film "Deliverance" becausehe could play guitar. He landed arole in the 1970s TV family drama"Apple's Way" at least partlybecause he could sing.

And now, after a 40-year actingcareer that has included support-ing roles in blockbusters such as"RoboCop," "Beverly Hills Cop"and "Total Recall," Cox continuesto be able to sing and performmusic at least partly because ofhis fame and financial success asan actor.

Cox knows this. And he isn't shyabout using his name and talentsto help others. That's part of thereason he'll be performing at afundraising concert Saturday forthe Chocolate Church Arts Centerin Bath.

"Acoustically, it's one of the mostwonderful places I've played,"said Cox, 73. "It's a very old build-ing, and it needs all the help we

Massachusetts-based string-rock quintet Darlingside released “Pilot Machines” two days ago.

Head to pilotmachines.com, the usual online spots or Bull Moose mu-sic to pick up a copy. The album’s title

comes from lyrics that touch on the themes of people, places, humans and machines.

Darlingside consists of David Senft, vocals and guitar; Harris Pas-eltiner, cello, guitar and vocals; Auyon

violin and vocals; Don Mitchell, guitar

and vocals; and Sam Kapala, drums and vocals.

Kapala lives (mostly) in Portland, wherehe does audio work at The Studio. GO caught up with him to learn about his band and the new record.

Let’s start with a band history. When and how did you form?

We formed offi cially in the fall of 2009, when we all moved in under one roof in Hadley, Mass. We went to college in Massachusetts, and we’d all played music together in various combinations over the course of our time there. It wasn’t until we’d all graduated that we came together as a full-fl edged band, though, and we hadn’t played together as a fi ve-man unit until we set up our basement rehearsal space. The fi rst rehearsals were terrible.

Does the band have a lead singer?All fi ve of us sing live and on the

record. Dave sings the lead on most songs, but we do occasionally switch it up Please see PONTI, Page E12

and Don or Harris sings a lead part. Our sound is characterized by lots of vocal harmonies and textures, though, so many songs feature more than one of us.

The other four guys all sang together in an a cappella group in college, so they’re very used to blending together. I have much less experience singing, so most of my parts are in group-sung sections, or sometimes I’ll take the bottom notes of a fi ve-part harmony.

You teamed up with producer Nathan-iel Kunkel (Sting, Crosby/Nash, Maroon 5) to make the record. How did you con-nect with him in the fi rst place?

Put simply, his mom is our lawyer. She lives in Northampton, and she passed our self-recorded EP along to Nate, and he

HOW IT RATESDARK HOLLOWBOTTLING COMPANY- "AMERICANGHOSTS"

Based ona four-star scale

Dark Hollow Bottling shineswith a fresh, authentic soundBy KRISTIN DiCARA-McCLELLAN

Some bands wear their hearts on theircollective sleeve. They have much to say,and say it with guts and glory. It mayseem as if their delivery is effortless, onlybecause they are so close to the sourcethat inspired them and they do not waveron their path to create from that inspira-tion.

Dark Hollow Bottling Company is aband that exemplifies this music, merg-ing rootsy folk, bluegrass and Americana.

The band's new CD, "AmericanGhosts," seems to have been extractedfrom deep inside the souls of the mem-bers.

With Greg Klein's Dylanesque voicedominating throughout, a realness of hischaracter is explicit and believable.

One standout track is "Marrow." Thetitle kind of says it all. What's deeperinside you than the marrow in your body?So what better to symbolize the roots ofyour deepest feelings of comfort of whoyou are?

The lyrics of the chorus ring out: "In themarrow of my bones/ Is the place I callmy home/ If I wander off alone/ Wouldyou point me my way home?"

The song is a slower groove, withsimple acoustic guitar strumming. Butthe band incorporates some lovely stringarrangements with bowed upright bass,cello and violin, which really bring thesong into a category of its own.

"Sold" has a swingy 3/4 time, and isrelatable to anyone.

Klein seems to be commenting on theabsurdity of yard sales and how it's likebeing a voyeur into someone's mind andcloset: "How much for a pound of myblood/ A pound of my flesh/ What youpaying for love/ For the auction is aboutto begin, and everything must go."

All in all, this CD reaches into thelistener's consciousness with refreshingauthenticity and simplicity.

The band members are spot-on withtheir harmonies, and hit the mark everytime with their catchy choruses.

The rolling, knee-slapping country feelof so many songs makes the CD a greatlisten for a summer back-porch partywith good friends, good food and, mostespecially, great music.

can give it. Having a place like that is sovital for a community."

Cox will be performing in "Art of theSongwriter" with Bill Ward and RayYounkin. The show is being put on by Mu-sic Doing Good, a nationwide nonprofitgroup that specializes in raising moneyfor various causes through music.

The group has sponsored other showsin Maine, partly because some MusicDoing Good officials spend summers inthe Boothbay Harbor area. But Cox hasplayed Chocolate Church in the past,and had become friends with the venue'sexecutive director, Barbara Bowers.

So when Music Doing Good approachedCox about doing some shows, he men-tioned Chocolate Church as a placeworthy of a benefit concert.

All the costs of Saturday's show will bepicked up by Music Doing Good so allproceeds can go to the Chocolate Church.And, thanks to the venue's relationshipwith Cox, Music Doing Good last yearwas a season sponsor of the ChocolateChurch, providing about $25,000 for pro-gramming, Bowers said.

The venue is trying to raise about$600,000 to rebuild its historic bell towerwhile also applying for a shrinking poolof grants to fund its musical and artsprogramming.

"We're grateful that they felt what we'redoing here is worthy of them gettinginvolved," said Bowers.

Cox and Bowers have been friends sinceCox first played the Chocolate Church acouple of years ago, and Cox had Bowersedit his new book, "Dueling Banjos - TheDeliverance of Drew."

The book is a collection of stories ofthe making of "Deliverance," which alsofeatured Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty andJon Voight, and focused on friends whoget lost in a backwards wilderness whileon vacation. Cox's character, Drew, isseen famously playing the tune "DuelingBanjos" on his guitar with a banjo-playingmountain boy.

While he still acts - he recently played aserial killer on the Showtime thriller se-ries "Dexter" - Cox loves playing folk mu-sic as much as he can. He's at the pointin his career where he turns down actinggigs if they interfere with his playing.

"I don't want to sound cavalier aboutthis, because I know how hard it is foractors to get work, but I'm at the pointwhere I won't take acting jobs if theyinterfere with my music," Cox said.

He added that his wife died a few yearsago, and that playing music is the thing"that gives me the most pleasure."

Music Doing Good, which specializesin raising money for various causes,is underwriting Saturday's show. TheChocolate Church is trying to raiseabout $600,000 to rebuild its historicbell tower - as well as fund musicaland arts programming.

Cox knows that, for some people whoknow him only as an actor, coming to seehim sing might seem a little odd.

"In the last 25 years, I've played a lot ofmen with authority, and then to see mewith a guitar in my hands singing a songprobably messes with their heads a littlebit," said Cox.

Cox grew up in a small town in NewMexico, near Clovis, and was a teenagerwhen Buddy Holly and other early rock-ers were recording in Clovis. Cox had arock band - Ron's Rockouts -before turn-ing to folk music.

For Saturday's show, Cox and the othermusicians on the bill will perform in around, where one performer does onesong, then the next does one and so on.Each performer will have two or threebacking musicians, Cox said. He'll dosome originals, but also traditional folksongs and other tunes that appeal to him.

"Coming from the world of movies, I'mvery comfortable with being an interpre-tive artist," Cox said. "I really like to dothat."

got in touch to say he was intrigued and wanted to chat about making a record together. We already knew a little bit about him, too, because I'd been reading anything I could find about engineering and mixing records, and one of the most useful books I'd read had a long interview with him.

I'd found that just about everything he said fit in perfectly with our own philoso­phies of recording and mixing, so to end up on a Skype video chat with him just a few weeks later was a pipe dream come true. It took us quite a while to work out the details, but it worked out in the end. Of course, we had to get another lawyer in the meantime.

Can you talk about the song "Drown­ing Elvis?"

"Drowning Elvis" is one of the most cinematic tracks on the record; it's got a very spaced-out drum groove, lots of strings and what I think is a really great clean guitar sound. We tracked the drums with the delay that you hear piped back into my headphones so that I could react to it live, which I think really informed everything we built on top of that foundation. The lyrics are adapted from a poem that one of Don's high school room­mates wrote, and the arrangement is the product of many hours in the basement grinding through different options and making tough choices about bass notes and guitar chords.

What else should we know about "Pi­lot Machines"?

The record is really diverse, with songs like "Drowning Elvis" sandwiched between "The Woods" and "Ava," both of which have some really big, loud moments. "The Woods," which appears as the B-side on one of the 7-inch vinyl singles we put out, is another favorite track of mine. It showcases some unique

vocal harmonies, has a crazy violin part over the final verse, and includes a short spaced-out outro with some heavily pro­cessed vocal pads.

Another one I think turned out really well is "The Company We Keep." It's about living in a house together for two years, and it features lots more harmo­nies as well as my favorite drum sound on the record. We recorded all of the drums right in our basement, so I'm particularly proud that we didn't use any samples or "studio magic" to make them sound the way they sound.

What's happening with the band for the rest of the summer and into the fall?

We're playing lots and lots of shows! We've had a busy summer so far, and we're hoping to put together a mini-tour or two later in the summer, and maybe one in the fall to get the new album into some towns we haven't hit yet. We're also really excited to get back into the studio with some new tunes. Now that this record is almost out, it's time to start thinking about the next one too.

Christian Bale plays a battered Bruce Wayne, whose fortune has dwindled, in "The Dark Knight Rises."

Hero loses heartBy CHRISTY LEMIRE

The Associated Press

hristopher Nolanconcludes his Bat-man trilogy in typicallyspectacular, ambitiousfashion with "The DarkKnight Rises," but thefeeling of frustration and

disappointment is unshakable.Maybe that was inevitable. Maybe

nothing could have met the expecta-tions established by 2008's "The DarkKnight," which revolutionized and setthe standard for films based on comicbooks by being both high-minded andcrowd-pleasing. With Christian Bale ashis tortured superhero starting from2005's "Batman Begins," Nolan hasexplored the complicated and conflict-ing motivations of man as well as thepossibility of greatness and redemptionwithin society.

Here, as director and co-writer, he'sunrelenting in hammering home thedread, the sorrow, the sense of detach-ment and futility of a city on the brink ofcollapse with no savior in sight. Gothamis under siege in ways that tonally andvisually recall 9/11.

Rather than seeming exploitative, it'sjust one of many examples of the script

Tom Hardy plays Bane, left, aterrorist who attacks Gotham Cityand faces off with Batman.

from Nolan and his usual collaborator,his brother Jonathan, making the fran-chise feel like a relevant reflection of ourtimes. Identity theft, economic collapseand an uprising of the disgruntled,disenfranchised have-nots against thesmug, comfy haves also come into play.

There's so much going on here,though, with so many new characterswho are all meant to function in signifi-cant ways that "The Dark Knight Rises"feels overloaded, and sadly lackingthe spark that gave 2008's "The DarkKnight" such vibrancy. The absence of

A lack of emotional depthin The Dark Knight Rises'makes it hard to caremuch about Batman or hisfriends and enemies.

REVIEW"THE DARK KNIGHT RISES," starringChristian Bale, Anne Hathaway,Joseph Gordon-Levitt, TomHardy, Marion Cotillard, GaryOldman. Directed by ChristopherNolan. Rated PG-13 for violence,some sensuality and language.Running time: 2:44.

Heath Ledger, who won a posthumousOscar for his portrayal of the trulyfrightening Joker, is really obvious here.It retrospect, it makes you realize howcrucial Ledger's performance was inmaking that Batman movie fly.

By comparison, "The Dark KnightRises" is plot-heavy, obsessed withprocess, laden with expository dia-logue and flashbacks that bog down themomentum and - dare I say it? -justflat-out boring at times. Yes, the Batmanworld through Nolan's eyes is supposedto be moody and introspective; you'vegot to admire the fact that he is willingto challenge us this way when summerblockbusters so often feel flashy and

Points North Pitch brings top industry insiders to Maine

to" by Jesse Epstein and Hannah Rosen-zweig about the global battle against Maine's unofficial state bird.

In addition to its invaluable networking opportunities (and the $1,000 cash prize for the winner), this year, Fowlie promises an added bonus for directors selected for the Pitch.

"One thing we're doing is a lot more one-on-one mentoring this year," says Fowlie. "That, coupled with the nuts-and-bolts expertise and experience in actually pitching your project, means it's a more intimate experience. Plus, this allows us to stand behind several projects each year to make sure they get finished and funded. We're really proud seeing the ben­efits even just in the last two years."

The submission deadline is Aug. 31, and for an aspiring documentarian, the $30 submission fee seems like a gamble well worth taking. See camdenfilmfest.org/ pointsnorth for details.

COMING TO LOCAL SCREENS MAINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY (mainehistory.org) Thursday: "The Grapes of Wrath." The Maine Historical society's ongoing celebration of Portland's favorite son John Ford continues with a screening of Ford's classic 1940 adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel, with Henry Fonda suffering nobly as he tries to keep his family together during the Great Depression.

PORTLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY (portlandlibrary.com) Wednesday: "I'm Carolyn Parker: The Good, the Mad, and the Beautiful.' Director Jonathan Demme's inspirational documentary portrait of Parker, a civil rights activist and mother, and her struggle to rebuild her life, house and church after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans' Ninth Ward.

For aspiring Maine filmmakers, leaving home for the bright lights of New York or Los Angeles might seem a neces­

sity. After all, that's where the action is, and how can you get your work to the right people when the right people aren't exactly right around the corner?

Unless, once a year, the world comes to you.

The Points North Pitch brings major players in the worldwide documentary in­

dustry to the Camden International Film Festival to hear five Maine documentar-ians explain their current works-in-prog-ress. Taking place this year on Sept. 28-29

Indie Film SrdocymenSiy—,-*u filmmakers, the Pitch, according to festival

founder/director Ben Fowlie, is an unprec­edented opportunity for Maine directors to reach a wider audience and for the festival to help out the state's best.

"The Pitch started as a way to shine a spotlight on all this great work being created in Maine, so far from the hubs of indie documentary production," explains Fowlie (who collaborates on running Points North with director Sean Flynn), "and we bring in a distinguished panel of delegates, funders, broadcasters - people who might be interested in a co-produc­tion."

In past Pitches, those industry insid­ers have included representatives from the likes of HBO, PBS, BBC, the Tribeca Film Institute, the New York Times and documentary powerhouse ITVS, with a similarly impressive lineup planned for this year's panel.

Previous winners of the Points North Pitch include "Betting the Farm" by directors Jason Mann and Cecily Pingree, which documents the risky move by rural Maine dairy farmers to start their own milk company (an official selection for the 2012 AFI/Discovery Channel Silverdocs Documentary Film Festival) and "Mosqui-

RELEASES N E W ON THE SHELF

"FRIENDS WITH KIDS," starring Adam Scott and Jennifer Westfeldt. Writer-director West-feldt was the indie darling of the moment back in 2001 when her "Kissing Jessica Stein" easily won over critics and audiences alike, but since then she's mostly stayed in front of the camera, appearing on TV's "24" and "Grey's Anatomy." Thankfully, "Friends" puts her back in the director's chair, and bringing an excellent crew of familiar faces along for the ride - mainly raid­ing the cast of "Bridesmaids," as Kirsten Wiig, Jon Hamm, Maya Rudolph and Chris O'Dowd all contribute to this breezy tale of thirty-fortys-omething New Yorkers resorting to childbirth to keep aging relationships fresh. Rated R. Running time: 1:47

Suggested retail price: $27.98; Blu-ray $39.99

"LOCKOUT," starring Guy Pearce and Mag­gie Grace. Wall-to-wall action distinguishes this none-too-intelligent but highly entertaining sci-fi/thriller, which finds wrongly convicted govern­ment agent Snow (Pearce) offered freedom if he can manage to rescue the president's daughter from the clutches of an insane inmate (Joseph Gilgun of "Harry Brown") aboard a prison sta­tioned in outer space. It's every bit as ridiculous as it sounds, thankfully, and it should make for ideal Friday-night six-pack-enhanced entertain­ment. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:35

Suggested retail price: $30.99; Blu-ray $35.99

"SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN," starring Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt. Based on the novel by Paul Torday, this romantic comedy of sorts from director Lasse Hallstrom ("My Life as a Dog") makes the most of a willfully bizarre premise: Uptight fishery scientist McGregor finds himself in the employ of Sheikh Muhammed, a very rich man interested in introducing his beloved pastime of fly fishing to the deserts of western Yemen. In the meantime, possible love blossoms uncertainly between the scientist and legal representative Blunt. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:47

Suggested retail price: $30.99; Blu-ray $35.99

"THE THREE STOOGES: THE MOVIE," starring Sean Hayes and Will Sasso. The Farrelly Brothers attempt to bring the singular comic stylings of Curly (Sasso, "Mad TV"), Larry (Hayes, "Will and Grace") and Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos, "24") to a new generation with this energetic update, a mixed bag which benefits greatly from the uncanny impersonations of the three leads. By and large, the Stooges' sensibilities mesh well with the Farrellys' patented penchant for oddly lovable raunch, resulting in frequently inspired mayhem geared toward younger audiences. Special features include deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage and screen tests. Rated PG. Running time: 1:32

Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $39.99

"GET THE GRINGO," starring Mel Gibson and Peter Stormare. With his controversial off-screen behavior overshadowing his once in-demand acting talents these days, Mel Gibson isn't the box-office draw of his youth, and this compel­ling, somewhat off-the-wall action flick essen­tially went straight to DVD. But in Mel's heyday, it could easily have been a hit. Concerning the exploits of a career criminal learning to survive in a bizarre Tijuana prison with the help of a 10-year-old boy, "Gringo" is actually one of Gibson's most purely enjoyable efforts in years, with Stormare ("Fargo") providing invaluable support

CBS Films

as a ridiculously angry gangster to whom Gibson owes a considerable sum of money. Rated R. Running time: 1:35

Suggested retail price: $22.98; Blu-ray $29.99

"INTRUDERS," starring Clive Owen and Ella Purnell. Deeply unsettling psychological horror from director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo ("28 Days Later") deals with a faceless creature out to possess two children in two different countries, and the efforts of put-upon dad Owen to put a stop to it. Visually arresting and skillfully plotted, "Intruders" slow-plays the terror, which may prove frustrated to horror fans accustomed to "Saw" sequels and the like. But discerning fright-flick fans should give this truly frightening tale the opportunity to worm its way into their nightmares. Rated R. Running time: 1:40

Suggested retail price: $28.99; Blu-ray $29.99

NEW TO BLU-RAY

"SINGIN' IN THE RAIN: 60TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION," starring Gene Kelly and Debbie Reyn­olds. One of the most beloved classic musicals of all time, this joyous 1952 spectacle is every bit as delightful as it ever was, with the remarkable Kelly providing one of cinema's enduring iconic moments in the title number - a performance all the more impressive given the fact that he was extremely ill while filming it. The Technicolor pops like never before with this new transfer, making this reasonably-priced set a must for col­lectors and casual viewers alike. Special features include an all-new documentary. Not rated; noth­ing objectionable.

Suggested retail price: $19.98

VIDEOPORT PICK "CASA Ml PADRE," starring Will Ferrell and

Gael Garcia Bernal. When he's not informing San Diego to "stay classy" or screaming ridiculous things at CGI dinosaurs, sometimes Will Ferrell likes to get a little artsy. But not until "Casa" had he dabbled in the foreign film market, and the results are as ludicrously enjoyable as you might expect. Playing gleefully off the well-worn tropes of early-'70s Mexican B-movies, Ferrell and director Matt Piedmont apply a slyly subtle ap­proach to the comedy without skimping on the oddball laughs, pitting Ferrell's mild-mannered rancher against Luna's murderous drug dealer, with amusingly disastrous results. Rated R for bloody violence, language, some sexual content and drug use. Running time: 1:24

Suggested retail price: $19.98; Blu-ray $24.99

hollow. And yet at the same time, it takessome giant leaps with its characters thateither make no sense, haven't earned theemotions they're seeking, or both.

"The Dark Knight Rises" does featurethe kind of impeccable production valueswe've come to expect from Nolan's films.It feels weighty and substantive - and,thankfully, isn't in 3-D - but it takes on aneven grittier look than its predecessorsas Gotham City devolves into desperationand ruin.

But Nolan's approach is so coldlycerebral that it's a detriment to the film'semotional core. It's all doom and gloomand no heart. There is no reason to careabout these characters, who functionmore as cogs in an elaborate, chaoticmachine than as real people whose soulsare at stake.

It's been four years since "The DarkKnight" came out, but eight years havepassed in terms of story. Bale's BruceWayne suffers in self-imposed exile,sulking about Wayne Manor, mourningthe loss of his darling Rachel and carry-ing the burden of blame for the death ofDistrict Attorney Harvey Dent.

His goal of a peaceful Gotham has beenachieved, but he's left as a man without apurpose. Michael Caine, as the loyal valetAlfred, brings dignity and eloquence tothe film as he begs Bruce to carve out hisown form of happiness. Fellow veteransGary Oldman as Commissioner Gordonand Morgan Freeman as gadget guru Lu-cius Fox are their usual dignified selves,but they don't register the way theyshould because the film is so overstuffed.

Several new characters manage todraw Bruce out of his funk in variousways. Anne Hathaway brings some muchneeded zest to the proceedings as SelinaKyle, otherwise known as Catwoman inthe Batman universe, a slinky thief who

punctures Bruce's bubble when she liftshis fingerprints from his safe, along witha beloved pearl necklace.

She's selfish and cynical, only lookingout for herself, but at least she goes abouther crimes with some verve and style.

The other woman in Bruce's life, how-ever, is woefully underdeveloped - whichis a real problem because she plays a keyrole in the film's climactic revelations.Marion Cotillard co-stars as MirandaTate, a wealthy philanthropist who hopesto work with Wayne Enterprises ondeveloping clean, sustainable energy. Theromance that develops between her andBruce is utterly unbelievable.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt adds a youthfulpresence as John Blake, an up-and-coming member of the police force whoinspires Bruce to revisit his own child-hood as an orphan. Gordon-Levitt is solidas always, but there's not much to hischaracter aside from earnestness.

Then there's Bane, a muscular mass ofpure evil who orchestrates an elaboratetakeover of Gotham City. The role is ahuge waste of what Tom Hardy can do;his character is so one-dimensional andpoorly denned, he's never so much a fear-some figure as a large and hulking one. Itdoesn't help matters that it's often diffi-cult to make out what he's saying beneaththe cage-like muzzle that covers his noseand mouth and alters his voice.

But he is the instigator of the film'sdazzling opening sequence, worthy ofthe best of James Bond - a daring aerialmaneuver in which Bane kidnaps a scien-tist by hijacking his plane from the skiesabove. That's probably the most effectiveof the many set pieces Nolan stages here,although the collapse of Heinz Field dur-ing a football game also has an urgent,visceral quality, with thrills that recall theimaginative moments of "Inception."

This is the problem when you're anexceptional, visionary filmmaker. Whenyou give people something extraordinary,they expect it every time. Anything shortof that feels like a letdown.

Shakespeare has beenthe theater's forte sinceits founding in 1970, andits mission includes acommitment to bringingan innovative approach toa variety of classics.

The theater's new producing artis-tic director, Dawn McAndrews, rein-forces that mission with this week'sopening of the Tennessee Williamsautobiographical American drama"The Glass Menagerie."

The play tells of a family'sstruggle in 1937 to find a balancebetween a difficult past and anuncertain future, and exploresthe bonds of family, the weight ofmemory and the force of loss, saiddirector Bill Van Horn.

"This is as classic as Americanculture can get," said Van Horn,who lives most of the year in Phila-

Van Horn directed this play twoyears ago at Walnut Street Theaterin Philadelphia. It felt like a revela-tion.

Van Horn has no doubt this playis autobiographical. He writes in

his director's notes, "What elevates itfrom mere confessional to great art is theprobing honesty, deep understanding andloving tenderness with which (Williams)creates and caresses these four charac-ters as they reach for happiness in St.Louis in the Great Depression."

Van Horn has an expert cast, includingPortland-based actor Dustin Tucker asTom and longtime Monmouth regularJanis Stevens as Amanda, Tom's mother.

Tom works as a laborer to support hisfamily, but wants to be a poet. He feelsburdened by his family, and escapes tolocal bars.

Amanda is "a faded Southern belle"who has been abandoned by her husbandand is trying to raise her two childrenwith little means. Her dreams have beendashed, and she talks longingly about theglory of her youth.

Stevens, a 2006 Drama Desk nominee,gets the chance to play one of the greatroles in the history of American theateras Amanda, Van Horn said.

"The scene where she tells her childrenwhat it was like when she was younger isas dramatic as any battle scene," he said.

Portland audiences know Tucker forhis comic roles. Tom allows Tucker tostretch, Van Horn said.

"Dusty excels in those wacky comicroles, but I don't think he gets the op-portunity to expand and test his talents inother kinds of roles often enough. This isa chance for him to really push himself,"he said.

The cast also includes Ambien Mitchelland Camden Brown.

"The Glass Menagerie" premiered in

Chicago in 1944 and moved to Broadwaya year later, when it won the New YorkDrama Critics Circle Award.

It was the first of the big three thatWilliams wrote, including "A StreetcarNamed Desire" in 1947 and "Cat on aHot Tin Roof" in 1955. With those threeshows, Williams established himself asa titan of American theater, alongsideEugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller.

Monmouth is one of just a few Americantheater companies that still producesplays in rotating repertory. It opens fourshows in four weeks, and presents all ofthem on a rotating basis throughout thesummer.

This summer marks Van Horn's llthseason at Monmouth. He loves thistheater, and relishes in the opportunityto stretch himself as both an actor and adirector while he is here.

He has one of the great comic roles ofthe summer in "Tartuffe" (we won't spoilthe secret by saying too much here, buthe gets the biggest laughs in this ex-ceptionally well-acted Moliere comedy),two minor roles in Shakespeare's "TwoGentlemen of Verona," and the role ofFalstaff in "King Henry IV, Part I."

"Tartuffe" and "Two Gents" havealready opened, "The Glass Menagerie"opens this week, and "King Henry IV"opens next week.

It's a full summer of hard work."Opening four plays in four weeks is

an amazing experience," said Van Horn."It's like no other experience you can get.Here, you get to attack the work the wayyou thought you would when you first gotinterested in acting."

protecting the natural environ-ment, but it also serves as a wayto drink great beer for very littlemoney.

As a bonus, the brewers andowners of some of Maine's greatbeer companies are the onespulling the taps - or at least theywere at the July 10 gathering atthe Gulf of Maine Research In-stitute on Commercial Street in Portland.

A little background: Portland Green-drinks is part of an international Green-drinks movement - "an informal volun-teer-managed social networking groupbuilt around a common interest in thenatural environment," according to thegroup's website, portlandgreendrinks.com.

The international group started in 1989;the Portland group in 2010. It meets at 5:30p.m. the second Tuesday of every monthat different locations.

It costs $2 to get in if you bring your ownglass, and - as the group is made up ofpeople interested in sustainability -1 didnot see anyone of the several hundredpeople attending who did not bring aglass. The price is $5 if you forget yourglass.

Check the website to find out nextmonth's location.

A friend had been urging me to attendGreendrinks for several months, but the

July event was the first one Iwas able to make.

I showed up a bit after 5:30,and waited in a short line to getin. The Gulf of Maine ResearchInstitute headquarters is threestories high, and the event cov-ered the lobby area on all three

TomAtwell fl°A<F . f. . .Allagash was the only brewer

What Ales You °n the first fl°°r>and cuneuxwas one of the two beers on tap.I didn't notice what the other

one was; I was so thrilled to find theCurieux.

I brought a 20-ounce Pilsener glass tothe event, and as someone who wantedto taste a lot of different beers, that was amistake. The tap puller would have filledthe entire glass if I hadn't stopped her.Because this beer is 11 percent alcohol, Iwould have been in serious trouble.

Curieux is a Belgian-style tripel aged inJim Beam barrels, and is often rated asone of the world's best beers. It usuallycosts more than $20 for a 750-milliliterbottle. Once I had the Curieux, I had re-ceived the equivalent of double the valueof my $2 entrance fee.

While sipping the Curieux and trying tofind my friend, I checked out the crowd- mostly young, in their 20s and 30s, somedressed as though they had come fromthe beach in shorts and sandals, andothers as though they had come from theoffice with khakis and button-down shirts.

I was not the oldest participant at theevent, but it was probably the first time Ihad been in the top 1 percent of anything.Everyone seemed to be having a goodtime.

I stopped at the Peak Organic taps formy second beer, and founder Jon Cadouxwas doing the pouring - a Local SeriesMaine Edition ale. This is made withall-Maine ingredients, and is 6.9 percentalcohol. Even though it is dry hopped inaddition to having hops in the boil, it is themalt that is more forward. This is a beerthat I liked a lot when I had it last winter,and was happy to have it again.

Cadoux said he likes taking part inPortland Greendrinks because it is a goodtime and a good charity. The brewers sup-ply all of the beer and the bartenders freeof charge.

The next stop was Baxter Brewing,based in Lewiston. President and founderLuke Livingston was on hand, and I hadhis Celsius Summer Ale, which Livingstonsaid has done very well for the brewery.

Livingston also told me that he will bedoing an autumn ale this year, althoughhe did not reveal its name. I got the Bax-ter newsletter a couple of days later, andthe ale was described as being brewedwith two rye malts, New Zealand Pacificaand Pacific Jade hops, and "aged on gin-ger, peppercorns, orange peels, and oakinfused with orange liqueur." It soundsintriguing.

The newsletter also reported that state

law has been changed so that brewerytasting rooms will be allowed to sell fullpints of beer on site - not just small tast-ings. Baxter is renovating its tasting roomto take advantage of that law,

Because I needed a break, my next stopwas at Green Bee Soda, where founderChristopher Kinkade offered me a LemonSting. This is sweetened with honey, andhad a really excellent flavor - a wonderfulbalance of sweet and tart.

When he found out I write a beer col-umn, Kinkade said the Lemon Sting wouldbe a great half of a shandy. Shandies areEuropean drinks, half beer - usually alager or pale ale - and half lemonade.

When I have tried to duplicate shandiesstateside, it hasn't worked out. That isbecause in Europe, lemonade is a carbon-ated drink. One person made a shandy onthe spot, using Celsius as the beer, anddeclared it quite good.

My last stop was Sebago Brewing, whereco-owner Kai Adams and brewer TomAbercrombie were on hand. We chatted abit, and I enjoyed a small one of his beers.

Greendrinks was a lot of fun. Uponentering, guests were given a Clynk bag,with a request that the next bag of return-ables be donated to GMRI.

I am filling my bag right after I finishthis column.

GUIDE

Riva ries is a champ in the sports-pub arenaBy EMMA BOUTHILLETTE

Last month, Rivalries SportsPub and Grill celebrated amilestone - the establishmenthas been serving the people ofPortland for 10 years, and isn'tslowing down.

My cousin and I were trying tocoordinate a trip to the pub fora drink while he was on vaca-tion. He said it was his favoritesports pub in Portland, and thewings they have are amazing.Unfortunately, my part-timeschedule clashed with his golf-ing schedule, and we never didmake it there together.

I've been to Rivalries a coupleof times, and I think it's a prettyneat place. The pub is tuckedaway on Cotton Street justa short walk from the Cum-berland County Civic Center.It's the perfect spot to grab adrink before or after a game orconcert.

Right as you walk in, there'sa wall of black chalkboard withspecials written in brightly col-ored chalk. Admittedly, I imme-diately like a place that writesspecials in bright chalk on blackwalls. I don't know why.

These specials are updatedfrequently and offer not onlygood drink specials, but somegreat eats as well.

The pub has 10 beers on tap,ranging from $3.25 to $5.25, butcatch a good special and youcould get $1 off that beer.

There are also a number ofcanned and bottled beers, winesand a fully stocked liquor selec-tion.

Rivalries is where I first triedPorkslap Pale Ale. This beerwas something I saw pictured

on a friend's Facebook page.Served in a can, the label illus-trates two pigs belly-bumping.

This pub was the first placeI visited that had said beer,so I had to try it. Sadly, it wasa little warm, and the under-tones of pork taste mixed withbeer threw me off a bit. Butyou never know how you'll feelabout a beer until you try it, soI'm glad I did.

One of the times I was atRivalries was for a large gather-ing. We met upstairs, a great

space for parties, with longpicnic-style tables and exposedwood beams. It's also fun to lookover the balcony to the crowddownstairs.

Like any good sports pub,Rivalries has ample televi-sions throughout the building.The stations featured includeNFL Sunday Ticket, MLBExtra Innings, NHL CenterIce, NBA League Pass, NCAAMega March Madness, ESPNFull Court and ESPN Game, toname a few.

So if there's a game you wantto watch, there's a good chanceRivalries will have it on.

With summer here, peopleare itching to drink outside andRivalries is one of the manyplaces that has an outdoor patioto do just that.

The only thing that couldmake this particular patio bet-ter is if it were situated right onthe water.

carefree and pretty quick lunch. Weboth ordered paninis. I had the special:Roasted garlic, beef and Gorgonzola (Ital-ian blue cheese). My companion orderedthe goat cheese panini with tomato andbasil. Each cost $7.50.

We split an antipasto salad ($9.50),which was laden with sliced Italian meatand cheese, kalamata olives, tomato,roasted pepper, caramelized onion andParmesan over a variety of green.

Her son settled for a grilled cheese. Hewanted a cheeseburger and fries - what3-year-old wouldn't? - and was disap-pointed that the children's menu waslimited to grilled cheese, hot dog or pasta.

My beef panini was a hit. The flavor ofthe well-seasoned beef, garlic and warmGorgonzola blended perfectly. And the

panini proved a perfect delivery method.The grilled bread was tasty and light, andheld up remarkably well.

The goat cheese was less successful.It lacked a nourish, and the flavor wasbland. It wasn't bad, just not in the sameleague as the special.

The kid barely touched his panini. Smallchildren can be picky eaters, and they likewhat they are familiar with. This was hisfirst exposure to a panini, and he lookedat it like it was something from outerspace. He had a few bites, pronouncedhimself full, and munched away on potatochips.

My dining companion and I both de-voured the antipasto, leaving just a fewscraps of lettuce.

I will go back. The dinner menu lookedenticing, and the selection of specialtyand traditional pizzas is vast.

The staff of GO anonymously samples meals forabout $7.

That's what this weekend and the Yarmouth Clam Festival are all about.

Press Herald file photos

By MEREDITH GOAD StoffWriter

ou'll see a lot of great traditions this year at the Yar­mouth Clam Festival, which begins Friday with the annual clam festival parade.

On Saturday, hunky firemen will once again race to pull on their suits and form a bucket brigade in the fun Firefighters' Muster Competition on Main Street.

And if you're a betting person, it might be wise to put a few clams on Beattie Quintal of Waldoboro, who has won the Maine State Clam Shucking Com-petiton 10 years in a row

But there's also a lot that's new at this year's festival, the one weekend of the year when eating as many fried clams as possible is acceptable behavior.

All weekend long, next to the carnival, golfers will be able to take the "Travelers Chipping Challenge." Anyone who scores a hole-in-one will win an iPod Shuffle or other prize, and the sponsor of the event will donate $100 to charity.

About a third of the bands at the festival will be new The Pete Kilpatrick Band will be playing Friday night at 8:15, and The Mallett Brothers Band will bring alt-country rock to the festival late Saturday

Off Beat: The Punk Hunks of Comedy, E36 Listings begin on E36

E36 GO The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, July 19, 2012

Rock club hosting a six-pack of alternative comedyI an Stuart wants people to know that all

comedy is not the same.Not every comic from Maine, for

example, tells jokes about clam digging ina thicker-than-fog accent.

Not every comic is looking for the quicklaugh with the outrageous one-liner.Some are willing to throw out more ce-

rebral thoughts andhope that the audi-ence finds one or twofunny, if they thinkhard enough.

And some come-dians are going to

n n 3.1. • make jokes aboutRay KOUthier death, or sex, or other

"blue" topics.Off Beat In other words,

Stuart wants you toknow, when it comes

to comedy, there are alternatives.That's one reason Stuart has put togeth-

er a free show Saturday night at Geno'sRock Club in Portland featuring himselfand five other "alternative" comics fromall over New England.

The show is being billed as "The PunkHunks of Comedy" and features Kit Riv-ers (Vermont), Ethan Marsh (Boston),Josh Day (New Hampshire), and MainersStuart, Aharon Willows-Hebert and JoeTimmins.

Stuart also wanted to do a free show be-cause he's filming a promotional video forhis upcoming comedy tour, and wanteda packed house as background. But hehopes that people will be enticed to come

out and see comics doing something alittle different.

Stuart says audiences can expectthe show to be "a little raw" and "alittle blue," while also being somewhatcerebral, asking audiences to use theirimaginations.

"Not all the jokes go to the forefrontof your brain. Sometimes you're laugh-ing more at the ideas provoked by thesituations in the joke," said Stuart, 26, of

Portland. "There's a little more grimeand dirt in the jokes too, but with the dirtcomes more information."

Example?"Well, one of the clean one-liners would

be: 'I work out the same way I impresswomen -1 don't,' " said Stuart.

Stuart turned to comedy performancebecause he grew up in an artistically tal-ented family and felt driven to do his ownartistic thing. His father works profes-sionally as a sound engineer and is also amusician.

"I saw my dad putting bread on thetable doing something creative, and thatwas a big influence on me," he said.

Stuart has always been drawn to comicswho are "rough around the edges" or whomake their audience think about thingsas well as laugh.

But he stresses that by promoting an"alternative" comedy show, he's not say-ing there's anything wrong with main-stream humor, either.

"I love Maine comedy and the comedyclubs we have here," he said. "At thesame time, I don't want to be pigeon-holed as a 'Maine' comic. I want peopleto see there are lots of different peopledoing different things in comedy."

afternoon, at 5:30. Another band new to the festival, Dominic and The Lucid, will go on at 7:30 Saturday night.

If you feel like belting out a tune or two yourself, this year the karaoke at the festival will feature a live band accompa­nying wannabe singers instead of a D J on Saturday night.

"We think it will be more fun," said Caro­lyn Schuster of the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce, organizer of the event. "It's something new, and we had some folks who had participated in it in downtown Portland who said, 'Oh this is a hoot. We've got to try this.' "

Schuster also said the event area on the library lawn is being expanded to include a stage where local theater groups will be able to perform. There will be a paint-your-own-pottery set-up and face painting for the kids as well, "so it's kind of a nice family area," she said.

A children's theater group will be performing some numbers from "Camp Rock," the Disney musical, on the stage at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Performers from Maine State Music Theater will be doing numbers from their upcoming production of "42nd Street," as well as some cabaret-style Broadway tunes, at 2 p.m. Sunday.

If your child's too old for the 40th Annual Diaper Derby, try the new Healthy Kids Happy Kids Pun Ride at noon Sunday on Main Street at The Royal Bean. This one-mile bike ride is for ages 6 to 12. Registra-

tion Sunday will be from 11 to 11:45 a.m., and costs $14. This is a non-competitive ride, so all the kids will win prizes, and the first 50 to sign up get T-shirts, too.

In between all of these events, the food vendors at the festival will be happy to sell you plenty of fried clams and lime rickeys to wash them down. The clam festival is a fundraiser for more than 35 nonprofit groups in the community, some of which run the food booths that will feed the more than 100,000 people who are expected to attend the festival this year.

The festival goes through more than 6,000 pounds of clams every year, along with 13,500 lime rickeys, 6,000 lobster rolls, 1,500 shore dinners, 400 homemade pies and 6,000 strawberry shortcakes.

With all of those clams being consumed, it's a good thing the clam harvest appears to be going well. "I heard from a local clammer that they are breaking records this year," Schuster said.

Kohl Kanwit, public health director for the Department of Marine Resources,

This is a 3.6-mile loop with 10 laps for men (36 miles) and six laps for women (21.6 miles). • Noon: Healthy Kids Happy Kids Fun Ride, Main Street at Royal Bean.

which manages the state's clam flats, said that generally the industry appears to be doing well this year.

Beginning last August, Kanwit said, the department started reviewing areas along the coast that could possibly be reclas­sified and opened for harvesting. By fall, more than 2,000 acres of clam flats had been reopened.

Yarmouth and Freeport have put in a proposal to reclassify a part of the Cousins River, Kanwit said, and it looks promising, but the proposal is still in the works.

Yarmouth has a special access area where a company is allowed to do depu­ration digging, "which means that they take clams that couldn't go directly to market and they clean them out, basically, through an approved process, and that area sounds like it's extremely productive again this year," Kanwit said.

"This is the second year they've been allowed to harvest in there. They use local diggers, and they also have other diggers from other places come in to do

those depuration harvests. So there's a lot of clams being taken out of Yarmouth, especially in that area."

No matter what the harvest is like, it's unlikely the Yarmouth Clam Festival would ever run short of the critters. The buyers for the festival place their orders in late winter or early spring so they won't be left with empty plates.

Festival goers need some way to work off all of those calories. Saturday's festival kicks off at 8 a.m. with the 31st Annual Pat's Pizza Clam Festival Classic 5-Mile Road Race.

If you'd rather be on the water, the Clam Festival Canoe and Kayak Race begins at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Yarmouth Town Landing, and there are some changes to the race this year. In the past, the race has gone up the Cousins River and ended at the Muddy Rudder, which was a sponsor of the event. But this year, paddlers will go up the Royal River and back.

Race director Emma Pope-Welch said only people who consider themselves ex­perienced paddlers usually enter the race.

"It starts right at the Yarmouth Town Landing, and the paddlers will paddle out the Royal River and around Lanes Island," she said. "That piece brings them out into kind of the open ocean. It's still pretty protected, but the total course is six miles, so it is a pretty lengthy paddle to be racing."

The race will end at the Royal River Grillhouse, which will be offering a special menu for the contestants.

All paddlers will receive a T-shirt with the clam festival and paddle race logos on it, and first-place winners in each category will win a special hat. There are 18 categories, and some of them, like the "Canoe Century" category, have quirky requirements.

"That's a two-person canoe with your ages adding up to over 100," Pope-Welch said. "We have a few people in that cat­egory already."

The junior-senior category requires that one paddler be under 18, the other over 18 - a good category for parents and kids or grandparents and grandchildren.

The entry fee is $20 per person, or $30 per person on the day of the race. Proceeds benefit the Maine Island Trail Association.
