I The Red & Black’s guide to the week in entertainment
> 40 WATT CLUB (549-7871)
• Thursday: Ben Folds/Clem Snide. Probably
the best show in town for a while and the
biggest. Not just rockin’ the suburbs, Ben
Folds will be rockin’ the kids from the suburbs.
• Friday: Southern Culture on the Skids/Drive- j
By Truckers. The truckers just released a big
rock-opera type album, and it sounds very Neil j
Young-esque. Sort of like Dana Carve/s
impression. “Dead dog lying in a ditch,
cigarette smoker has an itch..."
• Saturday: Left Front Tire/Six
Ways/Inspection 12.
• Tuesday: Mathead/lnclover. Speaking of
math, whatever happened to the Math Lady? j
She was the best cure for a hangover...
> ALLEN’S (543-8309)
• Friday: The Normaltown Flyers.
> ATHENS MUSIC FACTORY (353-8820) |
• Friday: The Fountains/Cosmic Charlie.
• Sunday: “Rock ’n’ Roll Chili Cook Off” with i
Caroline Aiken & Friends, Nathan Sheppard,
Wilma, We The Men. And “Live Jazz” with
Carton Owens Conspiracy. Mmmm, chili.
Mmmm, 64 slices of American cheese...
• Monday: Big C & The Ringers.
• Tuesday: Phungus DJs.
> CALEDONIA LOUNGE (549-5577)
• Thursday: Neat Stripes/Twain/Faiburn
Royals. For some reason, Twain made me
think of that really bad band, Train. I don’t care j
if they fell from a shooting star, they still are
just corporate rock!
• Friday: Annaray/Metroscene. Annaray is
really a great band to see live. As stated
before, probably the best local act around.
• Saturday: Landspeeder/Canadian Invasion.
> DT’S DOWN UNDER (543-9276)
•Thursday: Field Trip.
• Friday: Gunnison,
• Saturday: Thick-Soled Shoes. I have no
sole. Seriously, I sold my sole for a doughnut! j
I am not really funny, am I?
• Monday: “Singer-Songwriter Night.”
> FLICKER THEATRE (546-0039)
• Thursday: Chris Lee. Any relation to
Christopher Lee, the Bond villain in “Man With
The Golden Gun?” Probably not.
> THE GEORGIA THEATRE (549-9918)
• Thursday: The Disco Biscuits. College elec
tronics act from University of Pennsylvania. !
Sounds good. Crazy
Amish folk... j
• Friday: Bluestring.
• Saturday: Redbelly.
> LUNCH PAPER (227-1515)
• Thursday: Polemic/Popkom! Why is it
always the microwave popcorn that sets the i
dorm room fire alarms off at 3 a.m.? Well,
maybe it wasn’t so bad ...
> NUQI’S SPACE (227-1515)
• Thursday: “Singer-Songwriter Showcase"
with Shane Johns and Terrance Schmidt.
• Friday: Japancakes/Michael/Spacetruck.
Could the first and last names sound any
more anime? Akira!
• Saturday: Dromedary. They sound like they j
were going for a pun with their name, but I
don’t get it.
> ONE LOVE MUSIC HALL (369-6958)
• Saturday: Squat/Stave Dancz and the UGA
Jazz Band.
> TASTY WORLD (543-0797)
• Thursday: Nectarines/F-Holes/Real Nice
Time. My grandmother tries to make me eat j
nectarines. That and a three-bean salad that
is absolutely revolting. I always envied the
people whose grandmothers cooked like
crazy. I have to search all over her place for ;
even a cookie!
• Friday: The Tom Collins/The Brought Low.
• Saturday: Routine Felonies/Horsepower.
Something my car has none of right now. I
guess I can’t complain though because I have j
no where to go. No one loves me...
• Monday: Lyrical Warfare M.C. Battle. Now
this sounds good. Nothing like a bunch of
Masters of Ceremonies going at it. Mud
wrestling and all.
• Tuesday: Filmstar/Freeloader. Hey, sounds j
like some of my friends. Always the crazy
drama people ... The word of the week for this j
week is “comestibles.” Look it up.

VARIETY
► BLACK THEATRICAL ENSEMBLE
(542-8074)
• A Star Ain’t Nothin’ But A Hole In
Heaven: Try saying that three times in a row
really fast. This play is about a group of
friends deciding whether to stick around their
hometown and everything they know or go to
college. Actually sounds really interesting.
Personally, I couldn’t wait to get out of
Kennesaw (not my hometown). Morton
Theatre through Friday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets
$5 for students and $8 for non-students, on
sale at Tate Student Center Box Office.
> TOWN & GOWN 2nd STAGE
(208-8696)
• Brent and Derek Eat Noodles: Two
University students sit on stage and eat noo
dles for three hours, riveting entertainment.
At least that is what the poster says. There is
probably a lot more about this show. Read
Kyle Wehrend’s look into Brent and Derek’s
mind Friday for more details. Friday and
Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

look-a-likes on campus
The Red & Black presents a small group of people
who feel they resemble Hollywood stars.
You look in the mirror each morning and who do
you see? Is Tom Cruise or Sarah Michelle Gellar star
ing back at you?
If someone was going to make a movie about your
life, who would play you?
So many people believe they resemble some
famous celebrity. Others are the actual spitting image
of someone and shim it all together.
Each person, deep down however, knows they look
like someone.
Learning who some people think they look like can
give you deep insight into that person’s mind or their
friends.
People often see what they wish to see or some
times they see the opposite. Do these people resem
ble those they claim to be? You decide.
"Help me help you..."
a “People used to tell me I looked like Tom
Cruise before I grew a beard, but I think I
look like Samuel L. Jackson,” said Ryan
Peoples, senior from Moultrie.

My Car?’ ” said Ian Cone,

a Another Kelso eh? Matt Voss,
a sophomore from Alpharetta,
doesn’t mind the resemblance.
“It really doesn’t bother me too
much,” Voss said. Even the hair
is a dead match.
Nurse, I need an I.V. Stat!
< Talia
Margolies, a
senior from
Dunwoody,
constantly
hears compar
isons to Juliana
Margulies
(Nurse
Hathaway from
ER). “I person
ally don’t see
the compari
son, but I’ll
take the com
pliment,”
Margolies said.
The similar
names are just
a coincidence,
or is it?

Robert Downey Jr.? Sure,
why not?

• Behind Enemy Lines (PG-13) 12:45, 3,
5:15, 7:35, 9:50 p.m. (opens 11/30).
• The Black Knight (PG-13) 1:15, 3:15, 5:15,
7:35, 9:50 p.m.
• Domestic Disturbance (PG-13) 1:05, 3:05,
5:05, 7:40,9:40 p.m. John Travolta’s pursuing
a greased broken arrow directing his now un-
phenomenal career downward faster then
you can say “Pulp Fiction was his best
movie.”
• Harry Potter And The Sorcerer ’s Stone
(PG) 1,2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9:55 p.m. J.K. Rowling’s
incredibly popular first book (out of seven)
comes to life through steady talent, old and
young, and the wicked direction of Chris
Columbus. The two hours and 22 minutes
just flies by.
• K-Pax (PG-13) 4:35, 9:20 p.m. (ends 11/29)
Kevin Spacey, supposed nut job, believes
he’s an alien named Proat from the planet K-
Pax. Jeff Bridges, psychiatrist, is taking the
logical Dana Scully approach. Tensions build
as the truth filters in. A surprisingly enjoyable
film that will make you think... but not too
much.
• Life as A House (R) 1:45, 4:25, 7:05,
9:50 p.m. Kevin Kiine builds a house for his
son, Anakin Skywalker. An Oscar-worthy per
formance by Kline amidst a pre-school script.
• Monsters, Inc. (PG) 12:30, 1:30,2:30,
3:30, 4:30, 5:30, 6:30, 7:30, 8:30, 9:30 p.m.
Pixar — the Toy Story" people — fall just
short of greatness with their Shrek-tacularly
rendered 3-D characters cracking jokes and
saving the day in a film definitely worthy of
your time.
• The One (PG-13) 1:15, 3:15, 5:15, 7:35,
9:35 p.m. Starring Jet Li, Jet Li, Jet Li, Jet Li,
Jet Li, Jet Li, and Jet Li.
• Out Cold (PG-13) 2:20, 4:20, 7:20, 9:20
p.m. A teen film about snowboarding starring
no one worth watching for 90 minutes.
• Serendipity (PG-13) 7:15,9:15 p.m. Chick
flick. Like Sliding Doors. But starring John
Cusack. It’s your destiny to only go this flick if
you have a date. Or you can just make them
microwave popcorn.
• Shallow Hal (PG-13) 2:10, 4:40, 7:15,
9:40 p.m. The Farrelly bras, polite approach
to fat jokes, sex jokes, stupid jokes and what
ever other kind of jokes that you wouldn’t tell
your mom.
• Spy Game (R) 2:05, 4:35, 7:10, 9:45 p.m.
Robert Redford teaches Robert Redford, Jr.
all he knows, and then must plan a jailbreak
for his CIA protegee who’s trapped in a
Chinese prison.
> CARMIKE 12 (354-0584)
• Behind Enemy Lines (PG-13) 1:15, 4,
7:05, 9:55 p.m. Two Hackman films at once?
Maybe the Caine-Hackney theory is spilling
over onto the big screen as well.
• Black Knight (PG-13) 12:15,2:30, 4:45,
7:30, 9:40 p.m. Martin Lawrence is a bad boy
in 14th century England. He used up all his
jokes in this life, so he figures he’d try the
past.
• Domestic Disturbance (PG-13) 12:15,
2:30, 5, 7:15, 9:25 p.m. More like a movie
theater disturbance, and the poster design
rips off the one for “From Hell.”
• Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone
(PG) 12:30, 1:30, 3:45, 4:45, 7, 8, 10:15 p.m.
One out of every five students has already
seen this film. Sort of like the dentist who
didn't recommend brushing or flossing. The
rest saw MadTV’s spoof “Hairy Pot-head.”
Isn’t British dentistry great?
• Heist (R) 1:30, 4:15, 7:05, 9:30 p.m.
71-year-old Gene Hackman takes David
Mamet’s clever script, and runs with it, all the
while trying to make off with the stolen gold.
Hackman is quite possibly the greatest crimi
nal genius of all time. Kneel!
• K-Pax (PG-13) 1, 4:30, 7:10, 9:45 p.m.
“E.T.” meets “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s
Nest.” Sort of like when the Flintstones met
the Jetsons. Ah, the memories.
• Monsters, inc. (G) 12:15, 12:45,2:30, 3,
4:45,5:15, 7, 7:30, 9:15, 9:45 p.m. Starring
the voices of Billy Crystal, John Goodman,
Steve Buscemi, James Cobum and John
Ratzenberger.
•The One (PG-13) 12:30,2:45,5, 720,9:30p.m.
Jet Li fights against himself in a parallel
universe adventure making you wish that he
never makes another film with a “plot” in your
universe again.
• Out Cold (PG-13) 1, 3:05, 5:10, 7:30,
9:35 p.m. Like I will be this weekend. This
film really tries to be nasty and bad, but it
just doesn't work. If they were, then the high
schooler’s wouldn’t see this film and all the
advertising would be gone! GONE!
• Shallow Hal (R) 1:15, 4, 7, 9:25p.m. Why
is Gwyneth subjecting herself to such shallow
scripts?
• Spy Game (R) 1,4:30, 7:10, 9:50 p.m. Cool
tactics, elaborate plans, a time limit, snappy
editing and endless cunning make this film
highly enjoyable.
• The Wash (R) 12:45, 2:55, 5:05, 7:15,
9:25 p.m. Directed by D.J. Pooh. Starring
Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. Already getting a
bad rap, it’s hard to wash this film from
memory, no thanks to smelly Doggy; Pooh.
> TATE STUDENT CENTER (542-5584)
• Thurs.: Ran (R) 3,5:15, 7:30, 9:45p.m.
“And I ran, I ran so far away...”
• Frl., Sat., Sun.: Ghost World (PG-13) 3,
5:15, 7:30, 9:45 p.m. Tnora Birch finds that
life after high school is really boring. Like high
school was really that exciting? No 3 and
5:15 shows on Saturday due to game.
• Fri., Sat.,: Indiana Jones And The
Temple Of Doom (PG) Midnight. Come on,
what better way to leave the game than with
this film? Still can’t watch that snake-eating
thing. ’Shivers*
• Mon.: Seven (R) 3, 5:15, 7:30,
9:45 p.m. Kevin Spacey play a crazy person?
Brad Pitt play a studied cop? Gwyneth
Paltrow decapitated and placed in a box? All
in this film.
