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.

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.

Mom friend
motherhood
Dear Carolyn:
A close college friend of mine, “Anne,”
is a mom of a lovely 3-year-old, and for
the past three years she has not stopped
demanding that our mutual college friend
— “Joan,” to whom I’m a bit closer — and
I have children because it’s “the
best!” and she’s “so excited for
us to get pregnant and we can
all be mothers.”
Well, I’m only just getting
married, and Joan is single. 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.

I appreciate your compassion, and I’m
sure your friend does, too.

TODAY IN HISTORY
On this date:
In 1868, Christopher Latham Sholes received a patent for his
“Type-Writer,” featuring a QWERTY keyboard; it was the first
commercially successful typewriter.
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.)
In 1995, Dr. Jonas Salk, the medical pioneer who developed the
first vaccine to halt the crippling rampage of polio, died in La
Jolla, California, at age 80.

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.
