Award winner and College senior Garland has keen eye

By Christopher Moore | November 13, 2001

The College becomes a photo album this fall; black and white photographs show in the Hop, quaint geography snapshots crowd the walls of second-floor Collis and administrative offices (e.g., the Dean of the College) jazz up bureaucracy with photographed action sequences. The most visible show of photography this term is Ty Garland '02's 34 color prints in Collis.

'Buff' switch damages the fabric of Burnett's 'Survivor'

By John Teti | November 12, 2001

When I wrote my first "Survivor: Africa" recap, I admonished the 16 contestants for breaking "the rules." I never thought I would have to do the same for the show's executive producer, Mark Burnett. In Thursday's episode, the daily tree-mail tells Samburu and Boran to pick three of their "best" to go on a "quest." Gotta love that rhymin'! The trios head back to the original drop-off point (remember "Down!

As you'll have it: A standard production of a favorite

By Christopher Moore | November 12, 2001

Paul Gaffney's direction of "As You Like It" brings Shakespeare's romantic comedy home. The storybook charm of Edwardian American sets and costumes, the reserved characters, the rational progression of events, the reluctance to soliloquize too self-centeredly and the degree to which actors keep to their own lines makes stepping indoors from turn of the century Upper Valley into turn of the century Adirondacks entirely natural. We seek the natural, in nature.

Pink Floyd releases career-spanning greatest hits collection

By Mark Sweeney | November 9, 2001

As the greatest psychedelic band in the history of popular music and the alpha and omega of the space rock genre, Pink Floyd has left an indelible mark on mainstream rock over the course of its 35-year career. Yet, while the group achieved massive commercial success, its style was not that of penning a hit single; rather, most Pink Floyd albums functioned as a cohesive whole, both sonically and conceptually.

Real time is good time on new Sutherland drama

By Rebecca Leffler | November 6, 2001

Terrorism. Drama. Suspense. No, you're not watching national news coverage. I'm referring to that new drama "24," which premieres tonight on Fox. Appropriately titled, "24" follows counterterrorist agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) as he tries to stop an assassination attempt on an African-American presidential candidate (Dennis Haysbert). All the while, Bauer searches desperately for his daughter and tries to maintain his sanity as the suspense builds and the clock ticks away. It's an original concept: The entire season covers one 24-hour day over the course of the season, with each one-hour episode filmed in real time.

Booted: Dartmouth alum will not be a 'Survivor'

By John Teti | November 5, 2001

Those clever "Survivor" producers tantalized TV Guide readers last week by telling them in the episode description that "a member of the Samburu tribe cracks under pressure." Who cracks? The obvious answer is Lindsey, who doesn't deal well with the psychological aftermath of Tribal Council.

Third time's a charm for Emmys

By Rebecca Leffler | November 5, 2001

"Welcome to the 53rd, 54th and 55th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards," joked host Ellen DeGeneres as she greeted those famous faces of the entertainment industry last night at the Shubert Theater in Los Angeles. After weeks of anticipation, the 53rd Annual Emmy Awards finally aired.

Silent film legend Brownlow to be honored at Loew

By Sam Lederer | November 2, 2001

Silent Film is a media of expression that too often goes unnoticed as big-budget Hollywood productions continue to dominate the favor of the American viewing public. Kevin Brownlow, however, is trying to counteract this trend through his many documentaries and films about the Silent Film era.

Hughes bros. make hellish film

By Sarah Betts | October 31, 2001

Johnny Depp and Heather Graham deliver disappointingly flat performances in "From Hell," a thriller inspired by the Victorian serial killer Jack the Ripper. Depp plays Frederick Abberline, a moody, opium-addict investigator whose bouts of clairvoyance help him solve the murders of five prostitutes in late 19th-century London.

Flaming Idiots offer scorching performance

By Karla Kingsley | October 31, 2001

"OK, everyone turn to the person on your left or your right and give them a big hug yes, you two guys in front, we want to see some male bonding," Gyro (Rob Williams) instructed the crowd at last night's performance from The Flaming Idiots in Spaulding. Gyro was "the tiny, cute one" of the Flaming Idiots, along with Pyro (Jon O'Connor), a goofy version of Chandler (from "Friends") and Walter (Kevin Hunt), a guy with really, really big hair. The trio was welcomed to Hanover with a full house. In less than two seconds, we were all transported to the "Idiot Olympics," where Pyro was to show off his skill at coin catching, a sport that requires "pluck, determination, and a willingness to live in your parents' basement for the rest of your life." He amazed the crowd and the other two Idiots with his "profile," nicely apperent in his spandex wrestling suit, while catching up to six coins at a time as strains of the theme from "Chariots of Fire" played in the background. The Flaming Idiots had a great mix of jokes, acting, audience participation, and truly amazing feats, but the audience still was rather subdued.

The Cranberries hit sour note on latest release

By Carl Burnett | October 30, 2001

On their fifth album, "Wake Up and Smell the Coffee," the Cranberries venture little and gain nothing. The group responsible for the 1994 hit album "No Need to Argue" had such a consistent sound on their first three albums that one had to wonder whether they were only capable of making the same record over and over again.

Hailing from somewhere in outer space, sci-fi surf rockers Man or Astroman? will play Dartmouth College for the first time tonight. Band members Birdstuff, CoCo the Electric Monkey Wizard, Trace Reading and Blazar claim to be aliens whose intergalactic spacecraft crashed outside Auborn, Alabama in 1992.

Marsalis jazzes up Spaulding

By Christopher Danforth | October 29, 2001

Do not ever let anyone tell you that Wynton Marsalis is not the greatest musician in our galaxy. Wynton is a trumpet player and jazz composer from the Marsalis family (of Ellis and Branford), leader of a big band and jazz septet, artistic director of New York City's Jazz at Lincoln Center and father of three.
