Story and Photos by Pat Krause

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders came to the Desert, and the local Democratic Party got busy and invited him to host a rally in Cathedral City. The venue that was most available was the Field of Dreams off Dinah Shore and Date Palm. This event was hastily put together, and it went off without any hitches. Security was in place, and the staging area set up on the large field.

Bernie Fans and others looking forward to hearing more from him stood in line that went from the Cathedral City Library all the way around the corner at Dinah Shore Drive, over a block long. Thousands of people waited for the doors to open at 10 am. People were scanned and had to walk thru medal detectors to make sure everyone would be safe. Vendors were on the walkway into the venue selling Bernie’s pins, T-shirts, placards

and other memorabilia. A few fans entering were

given placards, A Future to Believe In, and others bought signs that said Dump Trump and other Bernie Signs. A few fans brought home-made signs. One big Bernie supporter even made a huge Bernie Head that fans took photos with. Items that fans could bring to the event were limited; of course, weapons, large sticks, sharp objects and chairs were prohibited. As the thousands of fans entered the area, they were treated to music by the Gemini band.

There were a couple

of speakers ahead of Bernie’s arrival. Greg Pettis welcomed Bernie to the Stage. Bernie Sanders spoke for about an hour and had the fans raising placards and hands in the air as he spoke about subjects they agreed with. Bernie’s speech included a wide range of issues like, free college, ensuring universal health care, climate change, and getting big money out of politics.

He said his rallies did not include $50,000 dinners and asked if anyone had that kind of money to be there. Fans could get near the stage to get

photos and videos with their cell phones and see him up close and personal. A few even got to shake his hand after his speech. His slogan in part says he is, “not the billionaires.” He was busy touring

California with his message going to Ventura, Lancaster, Pomona, Fresno, LA, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Bakersfield and more in two days.

Bernie speaks with such a fervor that fans believe he

really means what he says. He speaks mainly off the cuff with no Teleprompters. He thanked Cathedral City for inviting him. It was a perfect day weather wise, not too hot but a little windy at times. Local politicians came upon the X statue for a photo after the event. A man at the corner had a large banner that said “Honk” if You vote for Bernie Sanders, and a lot of people honked their horn. A day to remember for Cathedral City.

theatre has been sold and will no longer bring the kinds of films fans are used to seeing. There will probably be no more Q & A’s with famous actors and actresses. A very sad note to something that has been such a wonderful addition to all movie lovers. The Theater was filled with loyal people that are so unhappy to see that era of specials end. Co-owners, award-winning

actor Bryan Cranston, Steve Mason, Elise Lauritzson, Mgr. Brian Tabor and director Jay Roach stood in front telling the audience that they had a great run and were happy they had this time to show the kinds of films that brought art and actors to our Desert.

The film they showed on May 26th was “ALL THE WAY,” an HBO film that starred actor Bryan Cranston as LBJ, 36th President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Cranston is amazing

in the film and almost had me believing he was LBJ. The film was based on research, tape recordings, and biographies and endless material from LBJ’s life as President. I don’t think many people realize that this President did so much for our country. He sacrificed his career many times to bring change. He was responsible for black people getting to vote. LPJ was a master at getting people to do his bidding.

LBJ worked along side

of Martin Luther King to make these changes in the civil rights movement. It showed LBJ as he was in real life too. Cranston thought he may have been bipolar with all his ups and downs emotionally and his insecurity. It showed that LBJ was not very politically correct and seemed not truly presidential in his crude speech and actions. LBJ was a very complex and funny man. This film is like a documentary that brought you into the

White House and the workings of politics in all its many forms, showing the good and the bad and the deals that were made...

Cranston said he drained 2 1/2 hours every day in make-up and would have had to use a longer time, but they thinned his hair and cut it back to look like LBJ. The film started out as a stage play with a few script changes and the up-close photography that can only be used in

filming. The film is so fitting because of its timing with the current political scene as it is right now with the Presidential elections coming up fans got to ask questions and Leighton Ginn, a freelance photographer and writer, wanted to know if Cranston and Roach had plans to do another movie together as they collaborated on this film and Trumbo. This is a movie for everyone to see and was shown on HBO TV on Sat. March 28th.

All the way

Beaumont’s city officials, Judith Bingham still wanted answers despite being stonewalled. “The number of suspects could be higher if the bank that services as trustee of the funds releases a detailed accounting of the

Bond activity,” said Mr. Horwitz adding that to date the bank could not locate these records. What is known according to Ms. Bingham is that repeated attempts to have Beaumont’s city officials produce to have been ignored as a last resort she reached out to Mr. Horwitz

in a last-ditch effort to solve the mystery of the missing tax dollars paid by Beaumont property owners, he then began investigating the situation.

The trail led to Urban Logic Consultants in Temecula, Calif; they were actively involved with some of the defendants

during the last 15 years. “The relationship between Beaumont employees and Urban Logic is no longer a mystery. This represents an obvious conflict of interest between Beaumont’s city officials and third party companies that received these funds over fifteen years,” he

said, adding the seven men accused are no more employed by Beaumont. Recently, the Securities and Exchange Commission served a 36-page request for documents relating to the Mello Roos Bonds on the City of Beaumont. For details visit www.beaumontegate.org.

Father’s Day, June 19, is almost around the corner, so in that spirit, here are few suggestions for Dad’s Day gift giving. If Dad is a mystery fan, check out PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery Series “Grantchester” which has at this moment completed its second season. Now both seasons are attainable on Blu-ray and DVD. If Dad is a history buff, you can’t go wrong with the 25th anniversary edition of Ken Burns “The Civil War” also on hand from PBS. And

if dad is a fast-paced action fan, check out “London Has Fallen,” available from Universal Pictures on June 14—just in the nick of time.

The highly entertaining “Grantchester” PBS Mystery series is based on the novels of James Runcie. The initial season began with “Sidney Chambers and The Shadow of Death,” the first novel in the “Grantchester Mystery” series. Other Grantchester novels include: “Sidney Chambers and the Perils of the Night” (2013),Sidney Chambers and the Problem of Evil” (2014),Sidney Chambers and the Forgiveness of Sins” (2015) and “Sidney Chambers and the Dangers of Temptation” (2016). If dad is an avid reader, you may want to check out the novels as well as another possible gift item.

In the series, Sidney Chambers is a young, charismatic Episcopal vicar who lives in Grantchester, a small village not far from Cambridge. In the first season, we get to know him and Inspector Geordie Keating. (played respectively by James Norton and Robson Green.) Together they are an improbable crime-fighting team that brings justice and spiritual guidance to their village. We also meet Amanda, the love of Sidney’s life, his warm but somewhat dour housekeeper and Leonard, his assistant pastor. And even though Runcie’s Grantchester mysteries are set in the mid 1950s, the issues and themes of his stories remain timeless and engaging. His religious insights also ring true since his father, Robert Runcie, was a former Archbishop of Canterbury.

In season two, the year is 1954 and Sidney is living a quiet life, focused on his duties and on his congregation. But things are never easy for long and Sidney and Geordie soon find themselves faced with a new round of mysteries, including an apparent suicide with Cold War overtones, a haunted stable and a shocking homicide investigation that will test the limits of their strong friendship. And the good news is— there will be a third “Grantchester” series coming in the future.

DVD special features for Season Two include: Making of Granchester, Back to Grantchester and The Trouble with Sidney and Geordie.

••••••••••••••“The Civil War,” a PBS film

by Ken Burns, is considered the most successful Public Television miniseries in American history. Now a 25th

anniversary edition is available, fully restored to high definition, achieving the optimal picture quality originally intended. The six-disc collector’s set also contains four hours of bonus material and a 16-page collector’s booklet. In the Emmy Award- winning 9-part series America’s most destructive conflict is brought to life as we see why America had to divide itself in two before it could become one.

••••••••••••••“London Has Fallen,”

starring Gerard Butler, Aaron

Eckhart, Angela Bassett and Morgan Freeman, is the explosive sequel to “Olympus Has Fallen.”

When the British Prime minister dies unexpectedly, Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) and Secret Service Director Jacobs (Angela Bassett) accompany U.S. President Asher (Aaron Eckhart) to the state funeral at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. Despite security, heads of government are assassinated and London’s landmarks are attacked. At this point, the devastated British capital goes

into lock down. Meanwhile, back in Washington, Vice President Trumbull (Morgan Freeman) works diligently to ensure the president’s safe return. Blu-ray and DVD bonus features include: The Making of “London Has Fallen” and “Guns, Knives & Explosives” which shows how Butler had to train in order to portray a Secret Service agent. From Universal, rated R for strong violence and language throughout.

Story and Photos by Pat KrauseCVREP held a fundraising

event on May 25th. Joyce Bulifant and Roger Perry donated their time and talents to bring their show, “Remembering Helen Hayes with Love, A Tribute from a Daughter-in-law.” This was a one-night show that filled the small intimate theatre. Founding director Ron Celona was thrilled to be able to present this show as a major fundraiser.

Joyce Bulifant is an actress with credits for movies, stage and TV. Bulifant has also written and directed educational films and is heavily involved in charities that work with children. Bulifant was once married to James MacArthur, son of Helen Hayes. They had two children together that made Helen Hayes a proud grandmother. Bulifant is now married to another actor Roger Perry, who has been a friend

and co-star for many years. Bulifant spoke about her

mother-in-law with love. The show is basically a cabaret style documentary about her life with Helen Hayes. Bulifant showed videos and photos during her relationship with Hayes. She also showed and read letters to her from Hayes over the years. Roger Perry provided the Music during the show, playing the piano during videos

and breaks in the performance. Bulifant kept nothing back about her up and down the relationship with Hayes and her son James MacArthur. Some of the letters were so emotional that it could have brought tears from the audience. It gave a real look into the times they were together during and after her divorce from James MacArthur and the reason for the divorce.

Helen Hayes is considered

the Queen of Theatre. She held a very high regard from the entertainment industry. Bulifant told how Hayes was the wife of an Alcoholic whom she loved. Bulifant said Hayes was caring, strong, loving, and funny and a good mother and could bounce back and forth between all those qualities. Bulifant showed the very fond memories she had with Hayes.

The CVREP is a non-profit professional theatre with Actors Aquity. The mission of CVREP is to present

innovation and educational productions. They have children’s outreach programs that show them real theatre. They hold special events and literary luncheons with well-known actors. There was a Q&A after the show where guests could meet and thank the performers. LULUs and 849 restaurants provided the refreshments for the after party

“Remembering Helen Hayes with Love”

‘Over 5,000 US soldiers killed since 9/11’ – Marine Corps generalBy Desert Star Staff

In the 15 years since the 9/11 tragedy, which itself saw over 3,000 people killed and spawned America’s war on terror, a further 5,000 Americans have been killed in military action beyond US borders, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford has said.

In a Memorial Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff praised the 40 million Americans who have served in US forces since George Washington’s times.

“Some supported the birth of the revolution, more recently, others have answered the call to confront terrorism,” Dunford said.

“Along the way, more than 1 million Americans have given the last full measure,” he stated, listing the conflicts of the past century that have claimed American lives – all of them on foreign land.

“Over 100,000 in World

War I. Over 400,000 in World War II. Almost 40,000 in Korea. Over 58,000 in Vietnam. And over 5,000 have been killed in action since 9/11,” he stated.

“Today is a reminder of the real cost of freedom, the real cost of security, and that’s the human cost,” Dunford concluded.

The solemn speech in remembrance of the lost American lives comes as the US boosts its presence in conflict zones, even those where “no boots on the ground” were earlier promised.

Last month the Pentagon announced that the US will deploy 217 troops and Apache helicopters to Iraq as part of operations against jihadist group Islamic State. The additional troops will bring the number of US soldiers in Iraq to 4,087.

The US-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against IS in Iraq and Syria since mid-2014. But the US involvement in Syria

began without the approval of the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad.

Despite the US president’s 2013 promise of not putting any “American boots on the ground in Syria,” Obama

confirmed plans late last month to dramatically increase the American troop presence in Syria by deploying an additional 250 personnel to “support local forces fighting ISIL,” bringing the total to 300.

Obama, who won the presidency back in 2008 and pledged to bring peace to the Middle East, first broke his promise of no “American boots on the ground in Syria” when he sent 50 US special operations forces to Syria last year. He stressed that the move was a “counterterrorism” measure rather than a step closer to a ground invasion. His decision raised concerns over the previous failures of the US train-and-equip program that dealt with unreliable opposition fighters, however.

The Pentagon gave up on the training part of the project in October last year, after senior Obama administration officials admitted that the US had only trained a handful of fighters, despite the program’s $500 million budget. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said at the time, though, that US-provided equipment allowed local forces to “make significant gains” against IS.

It was revealed in September that one group of trainees had surrendered one quarter of their US-supplied weapons, ammunition, and vehicles in exchange for safe passage through territory held by another rebel group affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

“Lullaby of Broadway,” “Tip Toe Through the Tulips,” “I Only Have Eyes For You,” “We’re in the Money,” “Lulu’s Back in Town,” “September in the Rain,” and “42nd Street.” These are just a few of the iconic songs with lyrics by Al Dubin, and most of the music by Harry Warren. They were written for both theatre and film and occupy a permanent place in the Great American Songbook. This prolific team worked with Busby Berkeley, well played by Robert Pieranunzi, at Warner Bros. studios. Their joint collaboration changed the face of musical films. Their combined effort on “42nd” Street” garnered them Academy Award consideration for Best Film, which actually went to “Cavalcade” and was presented at the 6th Academy Awards

ceremony in March 1934. The story of a very

troubled genius, brought to life by Jared Gertner, is told through “I Only Have Eyes For You, ” and is currently on stage at the Montalban Theatre. Despite a valiant effort, this production is uneven so here’s the good news first: Producer Corky Hale has assembled one of the best technical teams in Los Angeles theatre who succeeded in a creating a look worthy of a Broadway stage. That extraordinary team consists of John Iacovelli’s Set Design, Debra McGuire’s period Costume Design, Brandon Baruch’s Lighting Design, and the always-reliable Cricket Myers’ Sound Design.

The poorly written book by Jerry Leichtling and Arlene Sarner tells the story of a conflicted Dubin who struggled with alcoholism,

gambling, and womanizing, all of which impacted

on both his personal and professional lives. The fact that he achieved such great success, despite his addictions, is miraculous. Gertner as Dubin, tries to mine the layers and layers of this complicated man, but succeeds more on the musical aspects than the non-musical scenes. The romantic story that plays out over decades is between Dubin and the love of his life Helen, who he marries early in his career. A talented Nikki Bohne as his wife soars in the musical numbers, but not so much in the non-musical narrative. Their duets were sweet but aging her with a gray wig in the second act was well, a bit hokey, since her husband stays forever young. As he becomes more and more successful in his career, this incredible lyricist becomes drunker and drunker and less reliable causing a riff between he and Warren, well played by Constantine Rousouli. Eventually, Warren ends their partnership and begins writing with Johnny Mercer. The narrative takes us through Dubin’s self-destructive behavior with some of the musical numbers reflecting both his musical brilliance as well as particular moments in his life that illustrate the unraveling of a tormented soul.

With musical direction by Gerald Sternbach, there are fun production numbers with “famous” singers including “About a Quarter to Nine,” sung by Justin Michael Wilcox as Al Jolson with Kayla Parker

as Ruby Keeler. Wilcox’s Jolson is a self-centered egocentric man always seeking the spotlight, contrasted by a very sweet, understanding Keeler. Renee Marino as Carmen Miranda sings a rousing “South American Way.” And yes. She wears the bowl of fruit on her head and is surrounded by young, beautiful, dancing men. A major highlight of the show is Elijah Rock as Cab Calloway who, with two gorgeous ladies at his feet, tears up the stage as he gives a show-stopping rendition of “Lulu’s Back in Town.” Valerie Perri as Minna sings a gentle interpretation of “September in the Rain.” Near the end of Act II, Dubin has hit bottom and sings “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” but with a Hollywood happy ending, reprises the love between he and Helen with “I Only Have Eyes for You.” The book stops at this particular point as in real life, Dubin did not enjoy a happy ending at all.

The production was directed and choreographed by Kay Cole, who has a long list of credits and perhaps therein lies the rub, as we do not see one original piece of movement in this production. What we do see are very familiar dance sequences, which are exquisitely executed. The most outstanding numbers are a tap dance by the ensemble and the visually stunning dance sequence from “42nd Street.” The dancers are seated in a long row of chairs and wearing brightly colored red costumes, execute the movements in sharp precision. So the

question is this: Was Miss Cole creating new movements or was she trying to recreate the movements germane to dance routines of that particular era, in which case not having anything original would be appropriate. On the other hand, if she was creating “new” movement from scratch, then we would have to say what we saw, although well executed, was unoriginal and has been seen throughout the years on many Broadway musical stages.

It’s easy to play Monday-morning quarterback, but if the story was narrated, instead of having dialogue scenes between the actors, which was the poorest part of the evening, the musical numbers would stand on their own and not be diminished by a faulty book resulting in a non-connected story line and stilted acting. All that said however, if you want to see a Broadway-caliber production, even with all the faults inherent in the book, you will leave the theatre dazzled by the wonderful sets and definitely humming the score.

human species evolved from visitors from outer space.

As UFO sightings become more common and filmed on cellphone cameras, the bizarre footage of strange lights, orbs and flying objects has been broadcast on television news.

UFO fans will have a chance to ask the greatest questions of all time: Where

do we come from? How did we evolve? Where are our closest neighbors? How can we contact them?

Those questions will be answered by some of the greatest minds in the industry at this year’s event. Archeologists, cosmologists, modern-day astronauts, authors and other experts will act as guides to answering those questions in breakout lectures, workshops and intensives presented by expert speakers at this conference.

This is much more than another UFO convention. CITD offers an array of seminar tracks to consider when creating a custom curriculum for the weekend whether it be ancient astronauts to human origins to present day contact experiences and UFO sightings.

For more information, go to www.contactinthedesert.com or contact the Joshua Tree Retreat Center at 760-365-8371.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not auto-matically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000005797600. Informa-tion about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the sched-uled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

By Jack LyonsTheatre and Film Critic

Contrary to what our current Congress

seems incapable of doing what it should be doing when it comes to compromise, or to put it in Washington, DC, vernacular to practice ‘the art of the deal’ so loved by our politicians and others who seek public office these days.

Bringing disparate parties and points of view to a resolution in any situation is not an easy task. In international diplomacy it’s especially difficult and frustrating when it appears that the stars are beginning to align with an agreement in sight, only to have the negotiations breakdown once again by entrenched positions where nobody wants to appear as having ‘given in’.

Back in 1978 then U.S. President Jimmy Carter took on the role of being a peace-maker and broker, bringing Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat together at Camp David in Maryland, for discussions on how to craft

a peace accord between the two sworn enemies that fought four wars over their differences. It was an ambitious and daunting undertaking.

“Camp David” is a riveting and informative play written by Lawrence Wright, that is insightfully directed by Washington’s Arena Stage’s artistic director Molly Smith starring four gifted actors: Richard Thomas as President Jimmy Carter, Broadway’s Ned Eisenberg as Menachem Begin, Hallie Foote as Rosalyn Carter, and Egyptian film star Khaled Nabawy as Anwar Sadat. Bryan Banville and Jon Maxwell play Marines assigned to the guard the participants.

In Wright’s stage play we are like flies on the wall who pierce the veil of high level international diplomatic chess-like verbal games played by two world leaders who are reluctant to give an inch when the discussions begin. Wright’s premise of what takes place over 13 days allows the audience to view the human side of each player, the same way the characters learn to interact with each other. Each day the characters of Begin and Sadat slowly change their

rigid and frozen ideologically-held positions as they get to “know each other”.

Conflict in all its forms is the stuff of great drama. When the outcome is known, as in this production, it falls to the actors to perform the heavy lifting of sweeping the audience along with Wright’s brilliant narrative. Great writing makes the work of actors a pleasure. It presents each actor the luxury of being able to create a fully developed, interesting character.

Richard Thomas’ winning performance as President Carter, shows the former, self-effacing President to possess more skills and qualities than just being a peanut farmer from Georgia. Thomas’ performance allows the audience to peek into the private and pressure-driven life of a spiritual American President who has his doubts about the success of the audacious project he has undertaken. Hallie Foote as Rosalyn Carter delivers not only charm, support, and respect for her husband as the leader of the free world, she is an important partner-player in the negotiations taking place at Camp David. Both are finely crafted performances.

The portrayal of Eisenberg’s Begin, who once was listed as a terrorist, renders the Israeli Prime Minister as not only a strong leader, but also as a man who can be warm and one with a sense of humor who understands what’s a stake in any peace accord with the Egyptians. The Arab Middle East for years has vowed to drive the Jewish people into the sea, along with their ancient homeland Israel. Eisenberg’s Begin is a highly nuanced and compelling performance.

Nabawy’s characterization of Anwar Sadat presents a man who realizes that any decision made at Camp David will affect millions of people, and in the process, will label him as being a traitor to the Arab cause (Sadat was assassinated three years later by fundamentalist army officers for his part in the 1978 Peace Accord). It should be noted that the Carter-brokered Peace Accord between Israel and Egypt has been in place for almost forty years with no wars. However, the Middle East of today remains in chaos. Diplomacy should always trump (no pun intended) war in most cases.

“Camp David” is a stellar

ensemble effort on the part of the company. It is also a credit to the skill and vision of director Smith who previously staged the play at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC in 2014, and as the director, continues to find fresh nuances in the material and the ensemble performances.

The Old Globe has few equals when it comes to the technical elements, and this production is no exception. Director Smith heads a richly inventive creative team led by Scenic Designer Walt Spangler who recreates the woodsy setting of Maryland’s Camp David presidential retreat. Lighting by Designer Pat Collins serves up many mood-inducing moments and allows the audience to see the costumes of Designer Paul Tazewell. The projection designs of Jeff Sugg, and the sound design and original music by David Van Tieghem further compliment this splendid overall production.

Artistic Director Barry Edelstein continues to provide San Diego audiences with first rate theatrical entertainment. “Camp David” performs on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage through June 19, 2016.

Story and Photos by Pat Krause The Palme d’Or Theater

had its last hurrah Q & A on Friday May 27th. The theatre filmed the movie “Lobster” and asked Colin Farrell to join them for this last Q & A. Actor Bryan Cranston acted as moderator, but it was just really a conversation between two very famous actors. Cranston remarked that when Farrell came out for the Q&A that he looked so different than the actor in the film. Farrell said he had gained over 40 pounds for the role and has since lost it all and looked as handsome as ever. The theatre was once again filled to be a part to the demise of something that was so great in our Valley.

The theater has always tried to make the theatre a place for art and different

films than the norm. Cranston called the theatre a kind of art museum for films. The co-owners said that it was not a money-making operation, more of a love of movies and the stories they present. There has been a lawsuit in the works for a long time and the judge finally agreed to a trial, but it is too late to keep the co-owners here. There is a new owner for Palme d’OR and they wish them well and wish that the movie fans would let them know what they want to see. They said if they win this lawsuit against Cinemark, they would build again.

Fans asked several questions about this very strange movie. It would be hard to explain this movie in just a few paragraphs. It seemed to be a film about singles and

marriage. It started in a hotel for singles that were told that if they didn’t find a partner in 45 days, they would be turned into an animal. Farrell chose to be a Lobster so that was the premise of his role. The movie showed that in our culture, it seems that people need to love and look for someone who looks or acts like them. The Laws were specific in that no one could do sexual things until they found a partner. Punishments for infractions were severe and hunting with tranquilizer guns of loners was encouraged. This is not a film for most filmgoers as it is hard to get your head around and understand it.

Farrell said when he gained the weight he would look into the mirror in the morning and know it was not make up. It did help him get into character in the movie. Fans asked questions about the movie and the meaning for parts they didn’t comprehend. Actors talked in staccato like voice and few words. Movie

fans asked about the animals in the background until they realized those were people that had been turned into an animal when they didn’t mate in the first 45 days during a previous visit to the hotel. The characters within the film were strange people trying to find love. The acting was superb.
