CELEBRIS REPORT Schumacher, director of ‘St. Elmo’s Fire,’ dies at 80 Joel Schumacher, the eclectic and brazen filmmaker who dressed New York depart ment store windows before shepherding the Brat Pack to the big screen in “St. Elmo’s Fire” and steering the Batman franchise into its most baroque territory in “Batman Forever” and “Batman & Robin,” has died. He was 80. A representative for Schumacher said the film maker died Monday in New York after a yearlong battle with cancer. A native New Yorker, Schumacher was first a sensation in the fashion world after attending Parsons School of Design and decorating Henri Bendel’s windows. His entry to film came first as a costume designer. Schumacher dressed a pair of Woody Allen movies in the 1970s: “Interiors” and “Sleeper.” As a director, he established himself as a filmmaker of great flare, if not often good reviews, in a string of mainstream films in the ‘80s and ‘90s. To the frequent frustration of critics but the delight of audiences, Schumacher favored enter tainment over tastefulness — including those infamous sensual Batman and Robin suits with visible nipples — and he did so proudly. The success of his first hit, “St. Elmo’s Fire,” with Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy not only helped make a name for the Brat Pack but made Schumacher in-demand in Hollywood. He followed it up with 1987’s “The Lost Boys,” with Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland and Corey Feldman. A vampire horror comedy, it gave a darker, contempo rary view of the perpetual adolescence of “Peter Pan.” Schumacher then made “Flatliners,” about morbidly obsessed medical students, and a pair of John Grisham adaptations in “The Client” and “A Time to Kill.” “Falling Down,” with Michael Douglas as a Los Ange les man whose anger from minute every-day interactions steadily builds in violence, was maybe his most critically acclaimed film, though its depictions of minorities — par ticularly a Korean grocer — were from the start hotly debated. The slickness of those productions helped Schumacher inherit the DC universe from Tim Burton. In Schumacher’s hands, Bat man received a garish overhaul that resulted in two of the the franchise’s most cartoonish movies in 1995’s “Batman For ever” and 1997’s “Batman & Robin.” The first was a box-office smash but the second fizzled and remains most often remembered for its infamous suits. ‘Jaws,’ ‘Black Panther’ and more coming back to the drive-in “Jaws,” “Black Panther” and “Back to the Future” are just a few of the modern popcorn classics coming to the drive-in this summer. Tribeca Enterprises, IMAX and AT&T on Monday announced the initial lineup for its summer series of films, comedy and football, running every weekend from July 2 through Aug. 2 in cities like Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Miami and Seattle. The Tribeca Drive-In series is not exclu sively for movies either. There will also be live stand-up comedy and even some NFL- hosted events, the details of which will be announced later. Venues will include beaches, stadiums as well as conventional drive-in locations. Tickets, which are free for essential work ers, are currently on sale. A percentage of proceeds will be donated to Black Lives Matter. Associated Press Schumacher ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES The public has a right to know, and The Times is dedicated to that principle and the “continued enlightenment and freedom of the people of North Georgia,” as engraved outside our building. The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

She has had some difficult abortion experiences and I haven’t been tested for fertility, nor am I at that stage. We have both tried explaining to Anne that we’re very uncomfortable with this topic and her approach, which is very assumptive and insensitive. At a recent girls’ trip, Anne shouted about this again while drunk, and a sepa rate friend of mine — they had all just met for the first time — later confessed that she has a variety of genetic and medical issues that will make pregnancy difficult, painful and expensive, if she can get pregnant at all. Joan and I were hoping this would be a wake-up call for Anne, but we’re both still anxious about what to do and dread that she will do this again. What else can we do to get through to her?? — Friend Next time, before you shut Anne down, consider encouraging her to open up. Give her room to talk about her stage of life right now. Ask about her kid. Ask her if she is craving mom friends. Maybe she is exactly as high on mother hood as she claims to be and just wants everyone to be as blissed-out as she is, but likes to push on everyone I’m more inclined to believe she’s strug gling and this is her way of trying to chip away at the stress, loneliness, self-doubt or whatever else is gnawing at her. People who load up on drinks and start shouting obsessively about things they had to be asked not to obsess about gener ally aren’t at peak selfhood in that moment. But this license is for when she’s talking about herself. Any and every time she turns her baby fixation back on others, shut the harassment down. “Anne — we’ve been over this. New topic.” Then change the subject, or walk away if she doesn’t back off. Re: Baby-pusher: I think it merits serious consideration that your friend may be struggling with something. Get to the root of why this is so important to her. I’m also recently mar ried with no children and have a mom friend — she isn’t as persistent as yours, but it did come out that she was a bit wist ful of her life before kids. Not that she doesn’t love hers, but she admitted she was having trouble reclaiming her iden tity outside of being a mom and felt like if I was on the same page, then she wouldn’t feel so alone. She’s the first in our close friend group to have children and so far the only. — Anonymous I appreciate your compassion, and I’m sure your friend does, too.

In 1888, abolitionist Frederick Douglass received one vote from the Kentucky delegation at the Republican convention in Chi cago, effectively making him the first Black candidate to have his name placed in nomination for U.S. president. (The nomination went to Benjamin Harrison.) In 1938, the Civil Aeronautics Authority was established. In 1947, the Senate joined the House in overriding President Harry S. Truman’s veto of the Taft-Hartley Act, designed to limit the power of organized labor. In 1972, President Richard Nixon and White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman discussed using the CIA to obstruct the FBI’s Watergate investigation. (Revelation of the tape recording of this conversation sparked Nixon’s resignation in 1974.) President Nixon signed Title IX barring discrimination on the basis of sex for “any education pro gram or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” In 1988, James E. Hansen, a climatologist at the Goddard Insti tute for Space Studies, told a Senate panel that global warming of the earth caused by the “greenhouse effect” was a reality. In 1993, in a case that drew widespread attention, Lorena Bobbitt of Prince William County, Va., sexually mutilated her husband, John, after he’d allegedly raped her. (John Bobbitt was later ac quitted of marital sexual assault; Lorena Bobbitt was later acquit ted of malicious wounding by reason of insanity.)

For our digital subscription offerings, go to gainesvilletimes.com/subscribe ARIES (March 21-April 19). Relationships heal with awareness. Knowing what you’re feeling is stage one, and then things really come together as you get better at recognizing what’s going on with others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) In the past, there have been times when certain people took advantage of your soft heart. Now you’re a little more guarded but not jaded. Compassion is still your best guide. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Usually, the calm comes be fore the storm, but today, the order will be reversed. The ex citement will hit without warn ing, followed by a calm that stretches for hours beyond. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know the emotional landscape and aren’t afraid of fluctuations. Highs and lows only bring out the best in you, as they help you come to an understanding of the situa tion that otherwise wouldn’t be possible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The road of love isn’t always smooth, so you have to cel ebrate the times like right now, when love is bringing you comfort and excitement without asking for too much in return. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everything in your life serves a purpose but not always an obvious one. When you want something for no apparent reason, perhaps the reason is primal, soul deep, or it be longs to a future known only to your intuition. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Listening well is easier within set parameters. Be judicious. Sure, people need to be heard. But you’re not the only one in the world assigned to the work of listening. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Neatness is not the same as style, but when things are neat, clean and organized, it is easier to see your way to choices that could lift the scene to a stylish level. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The surprising and silly things that happen are what make a good story. You can’t force such things, but when you’re open to them, they tend to land in your life. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll enjoy your time alone even more than usual, rec ognizing the stellar features of your own company. It’s so much easier to be a good friend to others when you’re first a good friend to yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “Someday” doesn’t really exist, and that is why it never shows up. There is only today. As you make your plans and act on them, you’ll line up something solid for a future “today.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re warm and welcoming, and people will be disarmed by your lack of pretention. You don’t have to worry about earning respect. You’ll have it automatically.
