Valeri Spiwak • College Times 

It can be difficult to pinpoint what 

someone finds attractive in another 

person. Couples with large age gaps 

between them, for instance, are often met 

with prejudice. But what is it about older 

people that college-aged students find 

attractive? 

Is it their lightly silver-streaked 

George Clooney hair or financial stability? 

Is it their confident attitude and wisdom? 

It may be time to put those snarky 

gold-digging stereotypes and prejudice 

comments aside, because the attraction 

of younger women to older men may go 

beyond superficial means and reach deep 

into our innate will to survive. 

“I would say it’s mostly 

understandable in terms of biology. 

Even the cultural variations we see, 

there’s something biological going on,” 

says Douglas T. Kenrick, a psychology 

professor at Arizona State University. 

6 

There’s More to Dating a Silver Fox 

Than Gold-Digging 


This seemingly common attraction 

dates back to the earliest hunter-andgatherer 

days. Older men made better 

fishermen, knew where to find food and 

were wiser and knew to stay out of fights, 

Kenrick adds. 

Old age and experience 

trump youth and good 

looks. 

Mostly, the type of man I am attracted 

to is someone who can support himself. 

Of all of the older guys I have dated, they 

have had established careers and have 

established something and they can take 

care of me. I’m not materialistic, but at 

the end of the day if a guy can be stable 

and provide for me, take care of me and 

do things for me – that’s nice. 

– Alexis Israel 

There is no longer a need to judge 

a mate on his ability to fish or hunt for 

food, but qualities such as income and 

emotional stability are attractive assets in 

older men that women seem drawn to. 

Twenty-two-year-old Alexis Israel is 

dating a man who is 18 years her senior, 

and she could not be happier with the 

relationship. Aside from scruffy facial hair 

and a “rugged, sophisticated physique,” 

Israel finds a strong emotional and 

maturely intelligent connection with older 

men, which she finds far less common 

with men her own age. 

“Mostly, the type of man I am 

attracted to is someone who can support 

himself. Of all of the older guys I have 

dated, they have had established careers 

and have established something and they 

can take care of me,” Israel says. “I’m not 

materialistic, but at the end of the day if 

a guy can be stable and provide for me, 

take care of me and do things for me – 

that’s nice. It’s also unattractive if a guy 

is, like, 40 and lives with his mom. That’s 

not sexy.” 

Many women may seek out older 

men, but just as often older men are 

drawn to younger women and their 

vigorous nature. 

“The idea is that men are attracted 

to fertility, but what are women attracted 

to?” Kenrick says. “What guys provide, 

and this goes for everywhere around 

the world, guys provide not their bodies 

but resources. They bring home food, 

they build the huts, they help protect the 

children and they help train the children.” 

Twenty-two-year-old graduate student 

Brittany Umanoff feels more intellectually 

connected to older men and sees 

stability and independence as extremely 

important and appealing factors. 

“I’m not necessarily attracted to 

men my own age. It’s more of a ‘where 

you are in your life’ that tends to lead 

me toward older men,” she says. “I like 

to think I have a big mind and big plans 

and when I’m hanging out with a guy, it’s 

nice to connect on something bigger than 

beer bongs and wondering where you left 

your pants.” 

Although women find safety and 

security among older men and find their 

wisdom and sophisticated looks to be 

attractive, the question of how old is too 

old comes to mind. 

“The moment I feel like I’m hooking 

up with grandpa is probably when I’ll 

have to reevaluate my state of mind and 

walk away, but as I said before I really 

feel it’s a state of mind,” Umanoff says. 

“I’ve always felt a lot more mature than 

all the guys I’ve ever met that are my 

age, which I why I’ve never felt a lasting 

attraction to them.”

in high school and finds 

navigating the mental 

health services at UM 

difficult.

Colleges Struggle With Demand 

For Mental Health Services 

Kevin Rector • The Baltimore Sun 

Within a week of arriving on campus 

this semester, University of Maryland 

junior Grace Freund felt the familiar 

symptoms of a depression creeping up 

– ones she knew to address quickly, lest 

they slip from her control. 

The 21-year-old psychology major 

called the counseling center on the 

College Park campus soon after to set up 

an appointment. However, she said, her 

request was rebuffed. 

Across the nation, college students 

– an age group particularly prone to 

mental illness – report similar frustration. 

Campus counseling centers often have 

insufficient staff and long waiting lists. 

In Maryland, counseling center directors 

say they are nearly overwhelmed with the 

numbers of students requesting services. 

Last month, a graduate student at 

the University of Maryland shot and killed 

one housemate and wounded another 

before turning the gun on himself, police 

say. The family of Dayvon Green told 

police he had been treated for a mental 

illness in the previous year. 

Hours after the shooting, Maryland 

President Wallace D. Loh said the 

university had increased mental health 

resources in recent years. But students 

and others at College Park paint a 

different picture – one of poor access to 

help – that appears to be more in line 

with national trends. 

Ninety-two percent of campus 

counseling centers surveyed last year 

said the number of students seeking help 

had increased in recent years, according 

to the American College Counseling 

Association. Eighty-eight percent said 

the increases in demand and in the 

number of clients with “more serious 

psychological problems” had “posed 

staffing problems.” 

Awareness of mental health on 

campuses has grown in recent years. 

Centers have advertised their services 

more heavily since campus shootings by 

students at Virginia Tech and elsewhere 

More students are also showing up to 

college on psychiatric medications. 

“In general, there’s a little bit of 

a sea change going on right now in 

recognizing that overall success in 

college has a lot to do with a student’s 

mental health and well-being,” said 

Alison Malmon, founder and executive 

director of Active Minds, a mental 

health nonprofit that works on college 

campuses. 

The number of students seeking 

help at the counseling center for stress, 

depression, anxiety or other mental 

health problems rose from 1,466 during 

the 2007-2008 school year to 1,986 last 

year – a 35 percent jump. During the 

same period, the number of full-time 

counselors remained steady at 12. 

The problem, sophomore Selena 

Roper said, is that the most common 

mental health struggles that students 

have are “insidiously boring” – and so 

don’t attract the attention they deserve. 

“It’s not like you’re sitting in the 

bathroom crying with dramatic music 

playing and your friends banging on the 

door saying, ‘We want to help you!’“ 

said Roper, 19, who has struggled with 

depression since high school. “It’s more 

laying in bed watching Netflix all day.” 

On Family Matters, Drunchies 

Pat Marrujo • College Times 

Would it be bad to invite my buddy as 

a plus-one to a wedding rather than 

the girl I’m dating? – Ian 

This is all very dependent on the level 

of commitment and the relationship status 

you have achieved with the girl you are 

dating. Also, consider which person you 

would have more fun with. 

If you go with your buddy, I assume 

the night will get out of hand quicker. 

How well do you know the people getting 

married? 

Now, let’s shift the focus back to your 

girl. If you have made the relationship 

“exclusive” or whatever the kids say these 

days, I think you are obligated to be there. 

It is kinda weird to go to a wedding 

without a date sometimes. When everyone 

else is with their significant other, it leaves 

you standing awkwardly in the shadows. 

What are some good “drunchies?” – 

Martin 

There are three things that make up 

a great drunchie. It needs to be cheap, 

fast and familiar. After a night of tequila 

shots, shotgunned beers and regrets, you 

don’t want to try anything too out of the 

ordinary. Simple sandwiches, pizza and 

conservative burritos are usually safe bets. 

They are all relatively bready and will help 

absorb some of the alcohol so you’re not 

as hungover the next day. (At least that is 

what some sorority girl told me at a party 

one time.) 

If you can, it is usually better to go buy 

food. It isn’t safe to handle stoves and 

ovens when intoxicated. 

How do I get my boyfriend’s family to 

like me more? – Abby 

Why exactly do they not like you? 

Is it because they think you are a bad 

influence? Maybe they feel you are rude to 

them. 

It could be any number of reasons. 

You won’t be able to solve the problem 

until you find out what it is. For now, all 

you can do is try and maintain a level of 

respect with them and hope they find out 

how great you actually are. Be genuine, 

nice and engaging. Nobody likes the bitter 

standoffish girlfriend. That will only dig 

you deeper into the grave. 

How does one enjoy long family 

gatherings? – Danielle 

Some people enjoy their families, but 

there are two ways to approach it if that 

seems like an outrageous notion. 

The first is by showing up late to every 

family engagement and leaving early. 

That way, you minimize the time 

you have to spend fake laughing and 

pretending like you care about your 

cousin’s mediocre accomplishments. 

Your second option is to find a friend 

at the gatherings. Chances are, there 

is a disgruntled uncle or an annoyed 

cousin who feels the same way you do. 

It might be fun to complain and gripe 

together while your relatives make fools of 

themselves. 

How do I tell my long-term employer 

that I need to quit? – Rich 

Don’t put it off. That will only 

make things worse. Tell them another 

opportunity has come up and you need 

to stop working there. Depending on how 

vital you were to your employer, they might 

take it hard. 

Be prepared to feel like a jerk for a 

while, but know it is going to wear off. 

Also, you are likely making the right 

decision for your future. 

Good luck.

Pat Marrujo • College Times 

Boxing might not being as popular 

as it once was, but it certainly isn’t 

dead. 

Roberto Vargas is the founder 

and promoter of Iron Boy Promotions, 

a group that organizes professional 

boxing matches and fights to keep 

the sport relevant in Arizona. Iron 

Boy represents some of the top local 

fighters, including Francisco C De 

Vaca, Carlos Castro and Juanito 

Garcia. 

Vargas took the time to answer a 

few questions and tell College Times 

what Iron Boy Promotions is all about. 

Pride and honor: I like to say that 

the goal is to create a program that 

can efficiently help lift the sport of 

boxing in our state with pride and 

honor. I am happy to say that we are 

working to be part of building our 

local fighters in the amateur level so 

someday Arizona can represent USA in 

an international Olympics games and 

at a professional level to bring a world 

title home. It’s a lot of work and takes 

a lot of time and money to get things 

going. I can say that we will continue 

working. It will not be easy, but 

everything is possible when you have 

your mind set for something good. 

Last show: We had “Iron Boy 6”on 

March 9. It was a great show; we 

got all the support from the loyal 

fans and sponsors. The fighters were 

outstanding with their performance. 

It was a good night of boxing in our 

state. We always have a pro-am card 

consisting of three to four fights and 

usually seven to nine professional 

fights. 

Sleeping giant: What I can say 

about the Arizona boxing scene is that 

boxing has never died. Fortunately, 

we’ve always had people that I can 

truthfully say love the sport and want 

it to grow like it once was, just like I 

do. Boxing hasn’t been that popular 

lately in Arizona but it has always 

been there, maybe sleeping, but there, 

ready to wake up. 

Respect: I believe it is a new era of 

boxing in Arizona and it is flourishing. 

I like to reserve my opinion about 

who are the best fighters in Arizona 

— things are constantly changing. We 

are too young to focus on specific 

fighters. My respect goes to anybody 

that steps in between those ropes. 

Sweet science: My goal is to focus 

on the sport to keep it going — let 

people enjoy the sweet science of 

boxing. It’s just an amazing sport of 

discipline and respect. I like to think of 

setting up the platform for these local 

young fighters to have a good time, 

work hard and continue developing 

Carlos Castro and 

Jazzma Hogue 

at Iron Boy 6 on 

March 9. 

Roberto Vargas, Iron Boy Promotions, founder and promoter 


their skills to the next level and for the 

fans to enjoy boxing once more every 

time they go to one of our shows. 

Building a foundation: I can 

envision Iron Boy being one of the top 

promoting companies of the world, 

but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. 

The reality is that is a really hard task 

and will take countless hours, energy, 

money and headaches to get there. 

First, let’s build a good foundation in 

our state, keep the amateur program 

going and keep our local pro fighters 

active and have fun. 

Excitement: I can tell you that we are 

serious about boxing and our fights 

will continue being exciting to watch. 

At the end of the day, that’s what 

we look forward to — a great show. I 

don’t believe over 2,500 fans left the 

Celebrity Theatre disappointed (after 

the last event). We will continue having 

great nights of boxing in Arizona. 

Open gym: My gym is Iron Boy Club 

located on 4238 S. 37th St. in Phoenix. 

It’s a training facility for amateur 

boxers and professionals — 100 

percent free of charge as long as they 

take the training seriously and respect 

the facility. 

Iron Boy Promotions next show is on 

May 5 at Celebrity Theatre. For more

The beginning of April was one of the 

greatest times of the year for American 

sports fans because it kicks off the Major 

League Baseball season. While baseball fans 

are having their fun, movie-goers also have 

a lot going on this week. The Phoenix Film 

Festival started on April 4 and runs until 

April 11. In honor of both events, here are 

the top five baseball movies of all-time. 

1. “Bull Durham” (1988) 

“Bull Durham,” starring Kevin Costner, tells 

the story of a minor league catcher who 

is assigned to teach a hotshot prospect 

pitcher how to respect the game as they 

play on a minor league ball club. No movie 

more realistically depicts the life of baseball 

players quite like “Bull Durham.” Quotes and 

references from this movie are still used in 

clubhouses to this day. 

2. “The Sandlot” (1993) 

It was tough not to place this at the top of 

the list, because I believe “The Sandlot” is 

the greatest kids movie of all time. It is an 

extremely relatable story about a group of 

kids who spend their entire summer playing 

baseball together. Told through the eyes of 

an imaginative kid, the story helps you relive 

your childhood love of baseball. 

3. “The Natural” (1984) 

“The Natural” tells the story of Roy Dobbs, 

a professional baseball player with immense 

natural talent and a special bat he hand 

carved named Wonderboy. ESPN’s Bill 

Simmons once said “any ‘Best Sports 

Movies’ list that doesn’t feature either 

‘Hoosiers’ or ‘The Natural’ as the No. 1 pick 

shouldn’t even count.” Though I am not sure 

what it says about my list, it’s high praise for 

a movie. 

4. “Moneyball” (2011) 

An interesting story about Oakland Athletics 

general manager Billy Beane and his 

use of sabermetrics to assemble a team, 

“Moneyball” is a can’t-miss. Not only does 

the film educate you about the innerworkings 

of a baseball team’s front office, 

but it is also a compelling underdog story. 

5. “Field of Dreams” (1989) 

A heart-warming tale of a man’s relationship 

with his father and an inspiration to build 

a baseball field, “Field of Dreams” is a tearjerking 

baseball flick. It teaches you a lot 

about the game’s history and true meaning. 

Honorable mentions: “A League of Their 

Own,” “Major League,” “Bang the Drum 

Slowly”

Anyone with a sweet tooth just 

can’t resist the rich, gooey deliciousness 

of caramel. This is especially true for 

Smeeks candy store owner Georganne 

Bryant, whose annual Carmelpalooza 

challenges local chefs to make the most 

of the sticky confection. 

Smeeks was opened in 2009 by 

Bryant and got its unique name from 

Bryant’s father. He began calling her 

“Smeeks” as a nickname when she was 

kid, and it stuck. 

Bryant is a big fan of the quirky and 

has made sure to fill Smeeks with all her 

favorite old school novelties and candies. 

Smeeks is sharing its joy for 

sweets through the fourth annual 

Caramelpalooza, and 20 chefs are 

competing in categories for titles 

including People’s Choice and Best in 

Show. 

Caramel lovers will not only get the 

chance to taste all sorts of handmade 

caramels and candies but will also have 

a say in which chef’s creations are the 

sweetest. Originally, Caramelpalooza 

focused on creating the best caramel 

What’s the 

best way to eat 

caramel? 

Jeff Chudy 

“Let it sit in your 

mouth for over five 

minutes, then chew 

and swallow.” 

Caramel apples abound. 

candies but now welcomes all types of 

caramel concoctions. 

“It’s morphed into a caramel-y 

dessert event, and every year there 

are more people and newer people. 

It’s fun to see what everyone comes up 

with,” says Brady Breese from Urban 

Cookies who is participating in his third 

Caramelpalooza. 

Breese is participating again to 

support the community and Bryant. 

Urban Cookies will bake caramel 

macchiato cupcakes, which are coffee 

cakes with caramel ganache. 

Other restaurants and chefs include 

Jeff Kraus from Crêpe Bar, Eugenia 

Theodosopoulos from Essence Bakery 

and Virginia Senior from Urban Beans. 

“Caramelpalooza is an opportunity 

to try out new things and experiment a 

bit,” says Senior, who is gearing up for 

her third year participating in the event. 

She loves cooking, especially to 

relax and share her passion for food 

and wine with friends, but also enjoys 

the challenge and creativity behind the 

competition. Senior opened Tertio Wine 

Bar in the same location as Urban Beans 

— don’t worry, the coffee shop is still 

going strong until it switches over at 4 

p.m. — and has been inspired by her new 

environment to play around with wineinfused 

caramels. 

A ticket gets you five tasting tickets 

that can be purchased online or at the 

door.

You don’t need a 

big yard, or any 

yard, to garden. 

Don’t Let a Lack of Yard 

Stunt Your Garden 

Regina Fanty • College Times 

April is appropriately known as 

National Gardening Month. With the 

great weather and overflow of sunshine, 

there is no better time to grow a garden. 

Living in an apartment or condo and 

planting a garden seems difficult, but 

there are many tricks that make it simple. 

10 

• A small garden can easily be put 

together on a balcony or fire escape. 

They are called container gardens 

and consist of each plant being 

housed in its own plastic container. 

If the apartment has neither of those, 

vertical plant holders can be an easy 

solution. 

• Another great option is the soda 

bottle planter. It works well in any 

type of living space, because it hangs 

off a railing. Herbs are a wonderful 

thing to grow in these. Not only are 

you growing delicious seasonings, 

but you’re also preventing plastic 

from being tossed in a landfill. 

• Adjust watering based on 

weather. It can get unseasonably 

warm in Arizona, so make sure to 

give plants a little extra water on 

those days. 

• Not being home to water plants 

is no excuse to forgo a garden. 

Countless self-watering methods 

have been posted to YouTube, so 

finding the one that suits you the 

best should be no problem. 


• Growing a peach tree can be 

done, no matter how much space 

you have. A special breed called the 

Dwarf Bonfire is compact enough to 

grow on a balcony. It doesn’t grow 

a plethora of fruit, but it’s certainly 

enough to enjoy. 

• Want the look of the garden 

without the fuss? Living in Arizona 

makes that easy. Cacti are a 

wonderful alternative to flower and 

vegetable gardens. They give off the 

spring look with no work. They don’t 

even have to be watered (unless they 

become extremely dry). Just stick 

them in a sunny spot and you’re all 

set. 

• Feeling crafty? Take that old 

shoe organizer that doesn’t get much 

use and turn it into a grid of plants. 

You can grow an entire salad in one 

place. 

• Lack of outdoor space is 

common problem amongst 

apartment renters. Citrus trees 

are the perfect plant for that issue. 

Many can grow inside with the right 

care. Ask your local nursery worker 

which one is best or just do a Google 

search. Another incentive is the 

natural air freshener these provide. 

• The key to keeping any plant 

alive is to not over or under water it. 

Make sure to pay attention to how 

much each plant needs and that you 

are keeping up with it.

Dust Circuit Radio, a local internet 

radio station, is holding its first 

fundraiser, called Fest-B-Que, at the Ice 

House Tavern this Saturday. 

“If you want to support what’s out 

there, what’s untouched by corporate 

hands, you can come,” says DCR 

co-founder Ziggy Kennedy. 

Kennedy and Jason McGraw began 

the 24/7 local internet radio in Kennedy’s 

living room last October. Kennedy 

continued to run it after McGraw left to 

work on his career. 

“We started DCR because we saw, 

even with the best intentions, people 

that aren’t musicians will always take 

advantage of musicians,” Kennedy says. 

Kennedy says DCR deals directly 

with musicians to get permission from 

them to play the music instead of the 

BMI licensing process other stations do. 

Interested artists can also submit music. 

The fundraiser will help pay for 

equipment in addition to a trip DCR is 

taking in June to Oklahoma. 

Nearly all the microphones the station 

uses are donated. And two sponsors a 

month provide funds for the station to 

continue for the next month.

What’s the oldest 

piece of clothing 

you still wear? 

Haggard Betty 

“My first band T-shirt 

(Minor Threat), 

because I’ve worn it to 

over 100 shows.” 

Ziggy and Kerry 

Kennedy, owners of 

Dust Circuit Radio. 

The majority of the station’s DJs are 

volunteers. 

Kennedy hosts High Noon Monday 

through Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. 

Between songs, Kennedy talks about “a 

lot of nothing” by himself or with a group 

of people, including drinking, smoking, 

being a musicians, and other light topics. 

Fest-B-Que organizer Carol Pacey, 

from the Americana band Carol Pacey 

and the Honey Shakers, voluntarily hosts 

the weekly concert guide show. 

“It gives my band and a lot of others 

a platform,” Pacey says. “It’s a great 

opportunity for lesser-known artists to 

have some radio play and interact with 

people who wouldn’t have heard them.” 

Carolyn Camp, the fiddler from Pick 

and Holler, says it’s awesome that DCR 

gives local artists a chance to be on the 

radio. Pick and Holler is usually featured 

on Jim Bachmann’s Ripsnort Radio Hour. 

“I would say to anyone else in Phoenix 

who is recording and wants to have an 

outlet for their music, I think it’s (DCR) a 

good place to start,” Camp says. 

Kerry Kennedy, DCR president and 

Ziggy’s wife has enjoyed meeting the 

musicians who have come to her house. 

She loves giving people the opportunity 

to showcase their music and is confident 

DCR will continue to be successful. 

“I’m one thousand percent confident 

we’re just going to get bigger and 

bigger,” she says. “You won’t be able 

to throw a rock in a foreign country 

without hitting somebody who knows 

who we are.”

Adam 

Carolla’s 

All Kinds 

of Funny 


Adam Carolla could not be more 

excited about bringing his stand-up 

show to Phoenix. He is most commonly 

known for his witty radio personality and 

successful podcast, “The Adam Carolla 

Show,” which broke a Guinness World 

Record. Carolla is also the author of 

New York Times best-seller “Not Taco Bell 

Material,” and co-created and co-starred 

in Comedy Central’s “The Man Show” 

and “Crank Yankers.” Get a taste of 

Carolla’s laugh-your-way-through-life style 

of humor at his upcoming stand-up show. 

College Times: Where did you start 

your journey in the entertainment 

business? 

Adam Carolla: I was teaching boxing 

classes and I was also working as a 

carpenter. I was listening to the radio and 

I heard them talk about a boxing match 

on the radio between Jimmy, the sports 

guy who is now Jimmy Kimmel, and 

Michael the maintenance man, who’s 

probably still Michael the maintenance 

man, and they needed boxing trainers. 

I said, “I’m a boxing trainer. I’ll do it.” It 

took a little while, but eventually I got in 

there and I got a hold of Jimmy...I just 

wanted to see what the inside of a radio 

station looked like, and I trained Jimmy 

to box. Jimmy was like, “You’re funny. I 

like you.” I said, “Well get me on the air, 

buddy.” And he did. He got me on the air 

and it just took off from there. 

When did stand-up comedy catch 

your fancy? 

I did stand-up comedy prior to this and 

it never took off for me. I couldn’t really 

find my voice, as they say. I was kind of 

doing like an impersonation of a stand-up 

comic…I kind of got away from standup 

and I started doing sketch improv 

comedy troupe stuff like that for a long 

time. I just couldn’t really find a place. 

I wasn’t a stand-up, I wasn’t a sketch 

guy, I wasn’t a writer; I was a little bit 

of everything. I was pretty decent at 

everything, but I wasn’t great at any one 

thing. I was just a funny guy. As soon as I 

got on the radio I knew that’s my outlet. 

CALENDAR 

“The Adam Carolla Show,” broke the 

Guinness World Record for the most 

downloaded podcast. Did you ever 

foresee that extent of popularity? 

I didn’t really have strong thoughts one 

way or the other about it, and I still don’t 

about anything...I’ve felt the same way 

about “The Man Show,” “Loveline” and 

every other endeavor I’ve been in and 

I’ve felt that way about shows that have 

had little or no success. I believe there 

are way too many people wanting to 

know if it’s going to work out before they 

do it. It’s not good for this business. You 

make a movie, you write a book, you do 

it because that’s what you want to do 

or that’s what they pay you to do or you 

think that’s what you should do, but you 

don’t do it because it’s a guarantee. 

Despite your podcast and TV 

success, you are also a renowned 

stand-up comedian. What keeps you 

coming back to stand-up? 

Money. It comes easily to me and it’s 

nice. I can go out there and do 90 

minutes or 100 minutes alone and it 

doesn’t feel like much to me. I write a 

lot of new material because of the way 

the podcast works. I’m always kind 

of throwing out ideas...It all works in 

conjunction. I have this “Mangria” out 

now, it’s my cocktail, I travel around, we 

have Mangria parties, we do a show, 

people serve it at the theater, I sign the 

bottles afterward and sell a couple of 

books. You’re kind of a politician who is 

always on the campaign trail.

Dirtyphonics: DJs with Rock Star ‘Tudes 


Fame came for the Dirtyphonics 

by creating their own rules. The 

French electronic dance music quartet 

refused to fit the typical EDM mold 

and broke through industry barriers 

in 2004 when they shares their metalinspired 

electro, drum and bass and 

dubstep music with the world. The 

band of Parisians – Charly, Thomas, 

Pho and Pitchin –creates seductive 

and in-your-face dance music. College 

Times had the opportunity to speak 

with band mate Charly to give fans 

a little sneak peak inside the group’s 

latest tour and upcoming show. 

College Times: How is your 

“Irreverence Tour” going to differ 

from your previous tours? 

Charly: It’s insane. We’re super 

happy. We played in Puerto Rico a 

couple weeks ago, our first show, 

and we sold out a huge venue. So, 

that was a really big deal. This is the 

first tour we are bringing production 

with us on the road…Everything’s 

happening at the same time right 

now, because we just released our 

new album (Irreverance), so it’s like 

this plus the tour plus production and 

we’re having an incredible reaction 

and feedback from the crowd and the 

kids. It’s awesome. 

I read that your shows are a “fullon 

sensory experience.” What 

exactly does that mean? 

We come from a metal background. 

When we were kids, we used to play 

in metal rock bands…Most of the 

time when you go to the club and 

watch a DJ play, it’s like just one dude 

behind these turntables…We are 

four dudes on stage, and we bring 

the same energy that you can find at 

a rock show. You’re going to see us 

walking around the stage, interacting 

with the crowd, stage diving; it’s not 

just watching, it’s a real interaction 

between us, the crowd and music. 

With the visuals, music, the sweat 

that we all share is something beyond 

any DJ that you can go and watch. 

You had the chance to 

collaborate with music industry 

icons such as Steve Aoki, 

Modestep, Liela Moss (vocalist 

of The Duke Spirit) and Foreign 

Beggars. What was that 

experience like? 

It was a little interesting because 

it was one of the first times that 

we actually did collaborate with 

other artists. The story was, Steve, 

last January, was starting his tour 

for his album and he invited us on 

the tour...but then being in the bus 

and hanging out together, you play 

the show, you get back on the bus 

and start partying a bit and you’re 

like, “Hey, why don’t we pull out a 

computer and start writing some 

tunes?” It’s obviously awesome to be 

able to write with a dude that you’ve 

been looking up to for years and 

you’re like, “Oh, cool. We are on the 

same bus right now, making music.” 

Same thing with Modestep. We 

obviously like the same kind of music. 

They are a band as well and we were 

like, we should totally do something. 

You will also be performing at 

Coachella this year. 

This is actually the first time that 

we are going to be there, so we are 

super excited…It’s great to be able to 

play at those kind of festivals when 

you have all different types of music. 

The crowd you have in front of you, 

obviously some of them are going to 

be bass heads expecting your thing, 

but then a lot of them are going to 

be discovering it. It’s great to be able 

to bring your music and experience 

to a new crowd and see them go 

nuts on something they weren’t 

expecting. And then, obviously, you 

have the whole Coachella experience; 

incredible production, all of the artists 

and friends will be there, so we are 

super happy. 

Your music falls under so many 

different genres, but if you had to 

label your music with one word, 

what would it be and why? 

Probably bass music because we are 

bass, we are dubstep, we are electro, 

we are EDM, but, whatever we do, 

there’s going to be heavy energy and 

heavy bass.

Hi-Fi Kitchen & Cocktails Is Wonka Factory of Scottsdale Bars 

Ana Anguiano • College Times 

Old Town Scottsdale has been under 

construction for quite some time but now 

the warm weather is here, expect things to 

get crazy. Hi-Fi Kitchen & Cocktails is the 

first establishment to open in the absolutely 

massive Scottsdale Beach Club complex in 

Old Town. If this is the first taste of what’s to 

come, people should get excited. 

Hi-Fi came from the minds of Les 

Corieri, Diane Corieri and Dean Slover, whom 

you might know for launching The Mint 

Ultralounge & Restaurant, RnR Gastropub, 

Axis/Radius and Sandbar Mexican Grill, so 

you know this place is pulling out all the 

stops. 

Stepping into Hi-Fi Kitchen & Cocktails 

is a bit overwhelming, but in a good way. 

The place is overflowing with manic energy 

and good times. The place is wall-to-wall 

personality with speakers, lights and a DJ set 

up to blast quiet conversations away. 

The space is large with a sizable square 

bar in the middle and seating all around. 

There are 35 HDTVs surrounding the bar 

and a massive projector on the back wall for 

sports and other crazy projections. Several 

booths are situated along the interior for 

a more restaurant feel and there’s a nice 

outdoor patio area as well. 

Hi-Fi has excellent food and tasty adult 

shakes, the latter of which call to you from 

the menu. Seriously, who thought up these 

shakes? Birthday, Creamsicle, drunken 

monkey, Irish car bomb and cinnamon roll? 

It’s like Willy Wonka on a bender. These 

alcoholic ice cream shakes are probably 

made with hopes and dreams and soft serve, 

but at $10 a pop they are an investment in 

happiness. 

The grub is pretty tasty from what we 

could tell. It has burgers ($13), sandwiches 

($11-$14), salads ($9-$11) and other 

munchies that should make just about 

everyone happy. The draft beer list is well 

thought out, which is nice to see in a new 

Scottsdale bar. Beer snobs and curious 

drinkers alike will be happy to see their local 

favorites represented along with a collection 

of sassy craft beers from across the country. 

Feel free to leave your pick up tricks at 

home. Hi-Fi is the place to meet strangers in a 

totally non-creepy, non-try-hard way with their 

long communal tables. Not that Scottsdale is 

any place to peacock, right? 

Hi-Fi also serves brunch Saturday and 

Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with equally 

creative and intriguing menu options. It 

seems there is no wrong time to check out 

the new digs. Parking is a bit of a hassle, 

we won’t lie, but a bit of a walk never hurt 

anyone. You can probably just follow any 

rainbow in Scottsdale. It will end in a salty 

caramel whiskey shake at Hi-Fi instead of a 

pot of gold.

Dressing professionally and 

fashionably is something young business 

hopefuls must learn to master. However, 

as the temperature rises it may become 

difficult to dress appropriately in hot, 

dry, 100-degree desert weather. Here are 

some tips on how to dress appropriately 

dress to impress at work without reducing 

yourself to a puddle of sweat. 

Remember: Dress for the job you 

want not the job you have. Take my hot 

weather clothing tips and go get ‘em. 

Loose-fitted clothing is your 

best friend 

Some may fall under the false assumption 

that the less clothing the better, 

attempting to wear tight and tiny tank 

tops paired with skin-tight pencil skirts. 

Instead of trying to shed clothing layers, 

try covering up to stay cool. Not only 

will you be protected from the harsh 

and blood-boiling Arizona sun, but your 

clothing will not melt into your back 

sweat. Loose slacks or a long, loosely 

flowing skirt are appropriate. 

Layer up 

Shifting from the scorching desert 

outdoors to the ice-cold air conditioning 

poses a constant annoyance during the 

warm months. Try a sheer, loosely fitted 

blouse with a light sweater you can take 

on and off when shifting from indoors 

to outdoors. Despite the chicness of a 

sleeveless blouse, do not bare arms while 

in the office. Showing off your guns, no

matter how toned and tanned they may 

be, still comes across as unprofessional 

and casual. In short, save it for the club 

and cover the shoulders and upper arms 

while in the office. This should go without 

saying but, men are not excluded from 

this. 

Go au naturale 

Natural fabrics, such as cotton or linen, 

are the supreme choice when facing a 

blistering Arizona day. Not only do these 

fabrics do a decent job at soaking extra 

perspiration, but they also allow air to 

easily flow through the material fibers. 

Cotton dresses with simple prints are 

always a good choice, but keep it simple 

to maintain professional prestige. A lightly 

toned cotton blazer over a cotton tank top 

is also an excellent choice. 

Do not fight the hosiery 

In almost all professional settings, there is 

an unwritten code of conduct that women 

should wear hosiery of some kind. Hosiery 

can feel suffocating especially underneath 

tighter fitting clothing. Try thigh-high and 

knee-high styles of hosiery. This allows for 

a bit more of a breeze for the body while 

still dressing for success. Although it may 

sound outdated, wearing hosiery or tights 

of some kind is almost seen as mandatory 

for mastering a refined and pristine look 

in a traditional workplace. 

Closed-toe shoes are a must 

As tempting as open-toed wedges and 

stylish summer sandals can be, they are 

still not office appropriate. Do your best 

Dress for the job 

you want, not the 

job you have. 

Dress Professionally in 100-Degree Weather 

to fight the urge to purchase the in-style 

bright pink, green or yellow pumps for the 

office. 

Master the up-do 

As far as office-appropriate beauty goes, 

those of you with long gorgeous locks 

know that when the heat hits the Valley 

it can be near impossible to wear your 

hair down without drenching your neck in 

sweat. Mastering the sophisticated bun, 

simple braid or sleek ponytail will allow 

you to still look professionally assembled 

while getting the heat-trapping hair off of 

your neck and back. 

Menswear 

Unfortunately for the professional men 

out there, the clothing options are 

minimal. If you work in a traditional 

business setting, you are stuck with 

slacks, collared shirts, ties and leather 

dress shoes. One alternative you may 

want to try is a short-sleeved collared 

shirt – picture Dwight from “The Office” 

and go with that. 

How do you “beat 

the heat” around 

here?

Frances Boutique 

Launches Magazine 

Fashion goes beyond perusing racks 

of clothing and purchasing the latest 

trendy getups; it is a lifestyle. France 

Boutique knows that better than most. 

People can make a bold statement 

about who they are with just one outfit. 

And Frances, known for its uniquely 

crafted knick-knacks and indie-inspired 

clothing and accessories, supports 

the individual fashionista in everyone. 

The uptown Phoenix store effortlessly 

transforms a modest clothing boutique 

into a lively community spot. Now the 

store owners are capturing that essence 

on paper and sharing it with the public 

in the form of a magazine. 

“This first volume is really an 

experiment to see how people like 

it.” says Georganne Bryant, Frances 

Boutique owner. “We are focusing on 

what we love about summer, and, yes, 

loving a Phoenix summer, activities, style, 

what to plant, where to go and what to 

do.” 

Frances offers fashion advice on 

jewelry crafting and information about 

sewing and knitting workshops. With the 

creation of an all-inclusive magazine, 

locals can explore the store beyond the 

computer screen. 

“I hope they feel the love and 

positivity we put in the magazine. It is 

called Frances Loves Summer, and it is a 

labor of love,” Bryant says. 

The fashion-forward eye candy does 

not stop there. In true generous Frances 

fashion, the magazine will also reveal 

merchandise from local shops such as 

Bunky Boutique and GROWop. 

There will be many collaboration 

items and gear featured in the 

publication, Bryant says. To add an 

more personal touch to the already 

matchless style of Frances, there will be 

a couple full-story photo shoots for which 

the magazine will incorporate actual 

members of the community. 

“What makes this issue different 

is there are no ads,” Bryant says. “It 

is all local, and it is using real people 

with real wearable style. It is all about 

collaborating with other local businesses 

but coming together in a way to make 

the summer fun and tolerable. It is one 

way to beat the heat!”

Country 

Rumblings from the College Times Stage 

Compiled by Ana Anguiano • College Times 

Local acts from across the state are invading Country Thunder and a special few are playing the College Times stage. Strap your 

boots on, crack open a cold beer and tilt your cowboy hat to the sky because they are going to knock this festival out of the park. We 

wanted to get to know these bands a little better so we sent out a questionnaire. It’s comforting to know we’re not the only ones with 

a soft spot for Miss Katy Perry.

Answers by Henri Benard 



Kris Kross, Totally Krossed Out, in 

second or third grade, I think. 




This is a tough question that I hope I 

never have to truly answer. There is not 

one album I own that I could say is my 

all-time favorite. There are definitely a 

select few that stand out from several 

of the others. However, I have a lot of 

“music moods,” so it all depends what 

I am feeling. I think I would bring a 

homemade mix-tape album. This way 

I could have songs for all my ‘musical 

moods’ by all my favorite artists so I 

could always tell myself, “Remember 

the days when you could listen any 

album you liked at anytime you 

wanted? Those were the days.” 

What was the first city you played 

outside of your hometown? 

Flagstaff. 


pleasures? 

I love 50 Cent (the Dre beats), 

Pitbull…Bon bon bon bon bon…pa pa 

l’americano, and the ‘Thrift Shop’ song. 


artist? 

The Man in Black. I’ll just leave it at 

that. 

What makes you want to get up on 

stage and perform? 

Life, love, the wind, the world around 

us, everything inspires us to do what we 

do. The stage is a whole different beast 

from anything else in the business. It is 

the greatest rush, and the bigger the 

crowd, the more intense the fans, the 

more intense the band and performing 

experience. Some of my biggest shows, 

I cannot remember them without the 

aid of a video or photos…the rush was 

so intense...and when you become so 

committed to the moment to complete 

the task at hand, the vortex created 

from this swirling array of synergy 

takes over. And once you have had a 

taste, you dream about it all the time 

and patiently wait until that next big 

moment comes along. 

What can people expect from your 

band at Country Thunder? 

At Country Thunder, we are going to 

gear our sets to be a more Americana/ 

two-step themed type of set. As always, 

you can expect lots of dancing and 

twirling. However, since it’s Country 

Thunder, expect to see some big boots, 

big hats, and a ton of hootin’ and 

hollerin’.

There is no shame in singing

want as loud as you want. The 

acoustics really make you sound 

amazing.

Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College 

Times 

Fledgling bands have romantic 

notions of touring the world. But for 

veteran French alternative rockers 

Phoenix, it was lonely and the inspiration 

behind Bankrupt! 

“I think the inspiration is maybe 

because we toured for two years,” says 

guitarist Christian Mazzalai via telephone 

from New York City, where Phoenix was 

rehearsing for Coachella. “We were away 

from home for a long time. We began to 

feel homesick. I think home inspired us — 

France and our childhood memories. It’s 

sometimes hard, but it’s a good feeling. 

It’s inspiring.” 

With a turn of a phrase, Mazzalai 

makes the entire recording process 

sound romantic. He and his bandmates— 

vocalist Thomas Mars, bassist Deck 

d’Arcy and guitarist/keyboardist Laurent 

Brancowitz—are anticipating public 

reaction to Bankrupt! which hits stores 

April 23. 

“We’re very excited because we 

worked on it for more than two years,” 

Mazzalai saya. “We are ready to deliver 

it to the world—the outside world—outside 

from just the four of us.” 

He quickly changes that number to 

“five,” taking into consideration producer/ 

childhood friend Philippe Zdar, part of the 

French duo Cassius.

The Long and Lonely Road 

Inspires Phoenix’s ‘Bankrupt!’ 

“We did (Bankrupt!) with Philippe, 

who mixed and produced the last record, 

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix,” Mazzalai 

says of the album that spawned the hit 

“1901.” 

“He’s the only guy we can really work 

with. He’s a longtime friend. It’s very hard 

for us to work with other people because 

we grew up together since we’ve been 

12 years old. We know only to work with 

each other, the five of us. We don’t know 

how to communicate with other people.” 

Phoenix penned the album together, 

with Mazzalai, Mars, d’Arcy and 

Brancowitz in one room. The songwriting 

process is that simple yet trying at the 

same time. 

“We could not write alone,” Mazzalai 

says. “We could, but we write a boring 

song when we’re all alone. It’s harder but 

it’s the fate that we share together, which 

makes it good. 

“After a few weeks on this album, 

we thought it would be an easy album to

do, but it was very hard. All the albums 

are hard to do because we try to impress 

ourselves. It’s very hard to impress 

yourselves.” 

Fans who want a sneak peek into 

Bankrupt! will have several opportunities. 

The Versailles-bred band will perform on 

“Saturday Night Live” on April 6 for the 

second time. (Mazzalai calls the first time 

“a fantastic memory.”) The collective will 

perform in Tucson on April 9. 

Mazzalai says fans will see a very 

special show. 

“Fans can expect something I hope 

very unique and very true to our French 

friends, who have been doing music for 

many, many years,” he explains. “We 

expect thrills and beautiful visuals.”

Youth Lagoon Piles Up Years 

in Less Than Two 

Michael Deeds • The Idaho Statesman 

It feels like a generation ago, but 

it’s only been 22 months since Trevor 

Powers, the easygoing mastermind of 

Boise breakout band Youth Lagoon, told 

me that “a little write-up” from online 

tastemaker Pitchfork was “like the biggest 

accomplishment of my life.” That was 

before he was paid to perform in Tokyo 

and Amsterdam and Paris and Munich. 

Before he released two albums on Fat 

Possum Records. Before he gigged five 

times for eager fans and press at this 

month’s South By Southwest festival in 

Texas – his second year showcasing. 

Before random teenage girls wearing 

too much eye makeup began professing 

their love on Facebook. Before he made a 

senior citizen cry at an Ohio festival. 

“I’m not even kidding!” Powers says, 

as if convincing himself. “Probably late 

70s, early 80s.” The old man told Powers 

that Youth Lagoon’s music is what he’d 

been hearing in his mind, unable to 

express, for the last 70 years. He was 

like, ‘I’ve never had this experience.’ He 

started tearing up, and I was like, ‘Holy 

cow. This is insane.’” 

Powers likes that word: insane. It’s 

a convenient, inarguably accurate catchall 

for his blazing ascent from “bedroom 

indie-pop” act to international force. 

The Powers vocabulary also nods 

toward: “nuts” (a description of what 

Boise’s four-day Treefort Music Fest 

would be); “rad” (the idea of performing 

in May at the Sasquatch Music Festival 

in Washington); and “freaking out” (his 

state of mind when J. Spaceman of British 

space-rock band Spiritualized attended 

a Youth Lagoon gig and told him they 

should do shows together). 

Basically, Powers talks like an 

ordinary 24-year-old. Except that this 

journey he’s on? It’s anything but. 

Same goes for Youth Lagoon’s new 

album, Wondrous Bughouse. A trippy 

excursion through Powers’ galactic-pop 

universe, Bughouse is a more complex, 

ambitious record than his dreamy, lowfi 

debut, The Year of Hibernation. It’s a 

doozy of a headphones album. 

“When it was done being mixed ... 

I sent it to a few friends, and that was 

the first thing I told them, was to listen 

to it on headphones,” Powers says. “Just 

because there was so much intricacy 

put into every single element. Everything 

sounds very isolated in a good way on 

headphones.” 

It’s not always easy to understand 

the lyrics behind the canvas of volcanic 

sonic colors – nor is it always crucial. 

This fact hasn’t stopped critics from 

overanalyzing – perhaps putting 10 times 

more thought into a lyrical phrase than 

Powers did. 

“Everything gets so blown out of 

proportion,” he laments. “I hardly ever 

read anything,” he admits, “because it 

makes me sick. But sometimes I do, and 

the whole review is basically on who they 

think I am as a person, and most of the 

time it’s like completely different than 

who I am. And all of a sudden, it’s spun 

out of control. And next thing I know, I’m 

reading things about me – there’ll be 

different links about me on the Internet 

or whatever – none of it’s true. It’s 

just CRAZY. The whole mentality of the 

Internet is just so twisted.” 

This statement might be perceived as 

ironic coming from a person who used the 

Internet to initially get his songs noticed. 

Youth Lagoon will start touring 

again in April. More foreign lands, 

more nameless faces, maybe even more 

weeping seniors. 

If not always wonderful, it certainly 

must be wondrous.

Phoenix Film Festival Is One Colossal, 

Eight-Day Party 


Hold on to your popcorn, cinephiles, because 

Phoenix is about to get movie crazy. April 4 through 

April 11, the 13th annual Phoenix Film Festival is 

going to take over Harkins Scottsdale 101. There 

are more than 150 films that range from indie and 

foreign to horror and sci-fi with plenty of short films in 

between. There is something for everyone and plenty 

of interesting and crazy events once the films have 

ended. 

Chris LaMont is the president and co-founder 

of the Phoenix Film Festival and a film professor at 

Arizona State University. He chatted with College 

Times about what this year’s festival has in store and 

the true meaning of the Phoenix Film Festival: partying. 

College Times: What can we expect from the 

Phoenix Film Festival this year? 

Chris LaMont: This year, we have the most world 

premieres that we’ve ever had and for me that’s a 

big deal. It continues to show that the industry and 

the filmmakers really appreciate what we do, which 

is show great movies, and we have really great 

audiences that come out and respond. It’s a great 

community that we create for eight days. People come 

out and watch movies and party and we all celebrate 

the art of film. 

What’s the best way to enjoy it? Should people 

dabble just a bit or immerse themselves in it? 

I always say that it’s like traveling to a different 

country. You go through the program and I think it’s 

really important to plan out your day. If you’re really 

smart, you can see, like, five or six movies in a day 

and you just sort of figure out when you’re going to 

take a break to eat. The program is online and you 

can go through and figure out what movies you want 

to see. It’s almost like what landmarks do you want 

to see. Our late night programming is part of the 

International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival and it’s 

a whole different programming block. It used to be a 

separate event, but we brought it into the festival as 

our nighttime programming. If you like horror movies 

we’re showing “Saw” and the producer (Peter Block) is 

going to be there. 

There’s these really high-profile movies from indie 

studios, like Fox Searchlight, but we’ve also got 

horror and sci-fi films and we have other world 

premieres for movies submitted to the festival that 

are in competition. The really neat thing we do is 

we fly in the directors and the actors for every one 

of our competition films. We only have 10 films in 

competition. We show each of the competition movies 

three times to build some buzz and hopefully by 

Sunday they’re packed because people have been 

talking about them for two days. It works out really 

well because the filmmakers are there and you can 

talk about the movie afterwards. It’s all about the 

Q-and-A.

Chris LaMont’s picks 

Seeing 150 films in eight days is impossible, but Chris LaMont has a few movies to 

rave about. Several have been screened at Sundance and SXSW while others are 

premiering in Phoenix. 

Kings of Summer. 

Why’s that? 

When you go to a movie you sit down, 

you watch the movie and, when the 

lights come on, you leave. At a film 

festival, you sit down and watch the 

movie and the filmmaker is there. 

You can ask question and then when 

the Q-and-A is done, the filmmaker is 

at the party. Our parties are great. 

Everyone thinks a film festival is 

watching movies and some parties 

but I always believe it’s the other way 

around. It’s a massive party and we 

show movies; that’s the way I look 

at the festival. Honestly, in the film 

festival circuit, it’s all based on how 

good your parties are. 

Nice! 

If your parties are really good, then 

it’s a must-attend. On Saturday night 

we do a burlesque show, we do a drag 

show and we come up with different 

things. We want everyone to come 

out and find movies they really want 

to see, attend shows and see acts 

they want to see. We try to program 

for a lot of people because everyone 

has this idea that a film festival is a 

bunch of stuffy people sitting around 

and smoking pipes in big jackets, and 

they’re all waxing philosophy and film 

criticism. It’s not that at all. If you 

love movies you’ve got to come to 

this festival. If you haven’t been, it’s 

amazing. 

Everyone that I talk to that comes for 

the first time is like, “I can’t believe 

how great this was and I wish we did 

this every weekend. I can’t wait for 

next year.” In 13 years, the audiences 

continue to grow and we just get 

better in our organization. We have 

over a thousand volunteers that work 

with the festival over the year. It’s 

been embraced by the community, but 

there is still room to grow. If you’ve 

heard of Sundance but never gone, 

you come out here and you really get 

a taste for what it’s like to be a part of 

a big film party. 

Why is it important for new 

filmmakers to have their work 

shown in festivals? 

We have a short film block, an Arizona 

filmmakers block, college students, 

and we even have a grade-school, 

high-school student block. If you’re a 

filmmaker and you make a movie and 

you’re just showing it on the internet, 

that’s not what it’s about. It’s about 

an audience connecting with it live. 

An ASU student who makes a movie, 

goes to a real movie theater with an 

audience that isn’t just their friends 

to see their movie and react to it 

and engage in it – there’s nothing 

better. There is no better feeling 

than connecting and getting an 

audience engaged. It provides a great 

opportunity. It’s a great inspiration 

and it really pushes filmmakers. To 

be able to come out and have that 

experience is one of the things that 

when we started the festival, we 

wanted to give to as many new and 

upcoming filmmakers as we possibly 

could. The short films are really 

popular because even if you don’t like 

the short film there’s a new movie in 

five minutes and maybe you’ll like that 

one better.

“The Spectacular Now” 

Starring Shailene Woodley, Mary Elizabeth 

Winstead, Miles Teller 

Directed by James Ponsoldt 

“It’s about this hard partying high school 

student and he meets this nice girl. A lot of 

people are saying ‘Oh, it’s a high school movie,’ 

but it’s about two people that find each other 

because they share similar lives. Miles Teller

prizes at Sundance for their acting.”

“The Kings of Summer” 

Starring Alison Brie, Megan Mullally, Nick 

Offerman 

Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts 

“It’s about three young boys and they get 

sick of their parents. It’s a comedy. They 

basically head off into the wilderness and 

build a house and they are going to live off 

the land. It sounds ridiculous. Nick Offerman 

from ‘Parks and Rec’ is in it and Allison Brie 

is in ‘Community.’ It was a grand jury prize 

nominated at Sundance.”

7:40 p.m., $12 

“Play Dead With Teller” 

Starring April Andres, Charlotte Pine, Drea 

Lorraine 

Directed by Shade Rupe, Teller 

“Teller from Penn & Teller directed the movie. I 

think the Q-and-A might be quiet. It’s basically 

an off-Broadway show they ran with multiple 

cameras. It’s about a gory magician. He 

performs these bloody tricks and the theater 

audience is locked in and they can’t leave so 

it’s pretty dark. From what everything I’ve 

heard it’s just a gory, weird trip. I don’t think 

we’re going to lock the audience in like he did.”

“Down and Dangerous” 

Starring John T. Woods, Judd Nelson, Paulie

Kickstarter movies. It sounds really, really 

good.”

“Kon-Tiki” 

Starring Anders Baasmo Christiansen, Gustaf 

Skarsgård, Pål Sverre Valheim Hagen 

Directed by Espen Sandberg, Joachim Rønning 

“It’s great. We’ve got one of the foreign 

language Oscar nominees, called ‘Kon-Tiki,’ 

based on a guy who in 1947 traveled in a raft 

across the Pacific – 4,300 miles – to prove that 

South Americans could settle in Polynesia.”

Starring Alison Martin, Blayne Weaver, Cheryl 

Nichols 

Directed by Paul Osborne 

“It’s about this guy’s life that’s turned upside

Alvarez 

Rated R 

Opens April 5 

Grade: B+ 


Fede Alvarez is a friendly and 

courteous guy. He’s so nice in fact that 

it is hard to believe all the crazy messed 

up things he does in his debut film “Evil 

Dead.” Five weary souls enter a cabin in 

the middle of nowhere and things do not 

turn out so well. In fact, the film’s poster 

boasts it is the “Most Terrifying Film You 

Will Ever Experience.” Alvarez chatted 

with College Times about his relationship 

with the original “Evil Dead.” 

College Times: I heard you watched 

the original “Evil Dead” as a child. 

Did that change the way you felt 

about it? 

Fede Alvarez: Yeah, definitely. For me, 

it was such a scary experience. I think 

the claim on the poster comes off of my 

personal experience after seeing the 

original movie. It was definitely the most 

horrifying experience I ever had. People 

would tell me “Evil Dead” was a comedy, 

and I would be like, “What? Where? 

When?” It was the scariest thing ever. 

People in college think it’s a weird movie 

from the ‘80s and that they’re so campy, 

but for my generation it was even less 

funny because when it came out it was 

one of the most scary and violent films 

out there. It was completely outrageous 

and brutal. This movie is basically built on 

that memory of what I saw when I was a 

kid. I tried to recreate that movie. 

Do you think it’s harder to scare this 

new generation? 

I don’t think so, no. During production 

I was reading this interview with John 

28 

‘Evil Dead’ Remake Was Frightening On, Off Set 


Carpenter and they were asking him that 

question. How did he manage to scare 

people when everyone was so numb? 

They had seen everything. And when I 

read the answer, I realized the interview 

was from 1988. We know now that there 

is still a lot to be seen. It’s always like 

that. It’s a perception thing. We all think 

we’ve seen it all, but I think this movie 

and the audience’s reaction is proof they 

haven’t seen it all. It’s not about the gore 

or the painful moments. It’s about the 

experience in general. How you manage 

to put them in the right place and how 

you manage to tell a story people believe 

in and characters that are real people, 

not just actors. It’s hard; it’s not easy at 

all. We found the right combination of 

finding new faces people don’t connect 

right away with other characters. There’s 

a nice balance between what’s real and 

what’s supernatural. Nobody flies or 

floats in the movie. It’s quite grounded… 

except for the third act with the rain 

blood. That’s what makes a scary 

experience. You’re not going to shock 

the audience. It’s about the context and 

themes. That’s what good horror movies 

are made of. 

Did you have to cut anything to get 

an R rating? 

No, we didn’t have to get rid of anything. 

We just had to trim things down, like we 

lost five frames here and there of gore. 

The tongue shot had to be made slightly 

shorter...That restrain of the rating helped 

us cut the perfect scenes and really show 

just enough. I was completely happy with 

our R-rated cut because we didn’t lose 

anything. 

The film is really loud. What did you 

want to accomplish with the score 

and sound effects? 

The story is kind of the bone structure of 

a film and images are the skin and the 

music and sound in a way is the nervous 

system. It can give you a shock and it 

can make things really tense even when 

nothing is happening in that moment. The 

music is telling you things. The music is 

like somebody sitting next to you going, 

“Ohhh something is going to happen.” 

When you hit the right balance, where it’s 

not talking too much, I think it’s great. 

What was it like for the actors to see 

themselves in full makeup for the 

first time? 

It was disturbing, to say the least... 

We spent, like, three months and a half 

shooting the movie...All of them are 

very good actors so they were really 

committed to the roles. They weren’t 

in character all the time but almost. 

They were trying to stay in that state 

of mind, and if you’ve seen the movie 

you know they are in a very dark place 

even before the horror starts. They’re all 

going through something tough. Jane 

[Levy] I think suffered a lot through the 

whole thing...When they saw themselves 

in the makeup it was always a shocker 

but it was a good thing. We really tried 

to surprise them all the time...Sometimes 

they didn’t know what was going to 

happen. I would tell them something 

would happen from the right but 

something would happen from the left. 

They had enough to be overwhelmed, not 

just the makeup. Everything was a trip for 

them. 

“Evil Dead” is as gruesome as it is 

unrelenting, but fans of horror and gore 

will be glad to know it truly delivers. It’s 

hard to believe this movie got away with 

only an R rating despite the gratuitous 

violence. No one is safe in the hands of 

director Fede Alvarez, and this story of 

five unknowing souls in a cabin in the 

woods is a test of endurance. 

Fans of the ABC show “Suburgatory” 

will not be able to recognize the sweet 

and naïve girl they’ve come to know 

so well in actress Jane Levy, who is 

transformed in her role as Mia. 

The film was shot in scenic New 

Zealand, but you won’t find any hobbits 

here. The lead character, Mia, is brought 

to the middle of nowhere on the behest 

of her best friends and estranged 

brother. They plan on sobering Mia up 

and refuse to leave until she is better. 

Sadly, going cold turkey turns out to be 

the least of Mia’s worries. 

The cabin is hardly a place to let 

your guard down, but in this universe it 

seems no one has any common sense. 

An annoying guy with glasses just has 

to open “The Book of the Dead” and 

read out of it, no matter how loud the 

audience is screaming at him to back 

away. Demonic chaos quickly ensues. 

The demon that inhabits Mia’s body 

wants to kill everyone in the cabin. This 

includes a plethora of gnarly business 

with knives, shards of glass, turkey 

carvers, nail guns and chainsaws. 

The film dedicates more time to 

pain and suffering than character 

development, but it’s better that way. 

The audience sees some pretty messed 

up stuff, and it would be a lot harder 

to handle if it were all happening to 

characters they felt attached to. 

The attention to detail is astonishing 

and while the film can get a bit too vivid 

in the grotesque bits, it is beautifully 

shot. “Evil Dead” also refuses to rely on 

cheap and computer generated scares, 

which is probably what makes this the 

kind of film that haunts your dreams.

(Answers to the right) 

ARIES 

(March 21 to April 19) 

Rumors of a change in the workplace 

could make you a mite uneasy about 

going ahead with implementing your 

ideas. Best advice: Ignore the talk and 

proceed as planned. 

TAURUS 

(April 20 to May 20) 

Everyone has an opinion on how to 

handle a recent business suggestion. 

Thank them for their advice. Then go 

ahead and follow your own fine instincts. 

GEMINI 

(May 21 to June 20) 

While home is your main focus this week, 

new issues in the workplace need your 

attention as well. Take things step by step. 

Pressures ease in time for weekend fun. 

CANCER 

(June 21 to July 22) 

Be less rigid when handling a relationship 

problem. You might believe you’re in the 

right, but try to open your mind to the 

possibilities of facts you’re currently not 

aware of. 

LEO 

(July 23 to August 22) 

Leos and Leonas run at a hectic pace 

throughout much of the week. But by 

the weekend, the Lions’ Dens become 

a purrrfect place for you Fine Felines to 

relax in. 

VIRGO 

(August 23 to September 22) 

Change is favored early in the week. This 

should make it easier for you to reassess 

your plans for handling a troubling 

professional relationship. Good luck. 

LIBRA 

(September 23 to October 22) 

A suggestion from a colleague could 

give your professional project that longneeded 

boost. Meanwhile, someone close 

to you still needs your emotional support. 

SCORPIO 

(October 23 to November 21) 

Before complying with a colleague’s 

request, check to see that the action 

benefits all, not just one person’s agenda. 

Continue firming up those travel plans. 

SAGITTARIUS 

(November 22 to December 21) 

Your social life is on the upswing, and the 

only problem is deciding which invitations 

to accept. Enjoy yourself before settling 

down for some serious work next week. 

CAPRICORN 

(December 22 to January 19) 

With your creative aspects on high, you 

might want to restart your work on that 

novel or painting you put aside. Your 

efforts will bring a surge in your selfesteem. 

AQUARIUS 

(January 20 to February 18) 

While you’re generous with others, be 

sure you’re not overlooking your own 

needs. Take time to assess your situation 

and make adjustments where necessary. 

PISCES 

(February 19 to March 20) 

Being applauded for your achievement 

is great. But watch out that you don’t 

start acting like a star. It could lose your 

valuable support with your next project. 

BORN THIS WEEK: 

Your strong belief in justice, along with 

your leadership qualities, help you protect 

the rights of others.
