'Zero' is empty
ZERO from Page 14
In the “Less Than Zero” school
of logic, if you’re going to be a
coked-up wreck, you may as well
do it with style.
Later on, they attend a party in
Palm Springs, Rip confronts Jul
ian, then forces him to turn more
tricks. Blair, with noble enthusi
asm, decides to go cold turkey and
dumps her last vial of coke down
the drain. Then Clay finds Julian
practicing fellatio on a guy and
rescues him, so the three have to
dash away in their car toescapc Rip
and his mean muscleman body
guard.
What follows is a rather mawk
ish death scene in the desert, com
plete with enough sepia-klieg
lights to make it all look like a
Levi’s 501 commercial.
Getz and McCarthy deliver
their lines by role, with little or no
conviction. Downey’s doped-up
high-jinks border on the absurd,
making each “strung-out” scene
resemble a drunk in some bad
“Three Stooges” film. Spader’s
portrayal of Rip the big, bad pusher
is distantly effective, but the abject
lines he recites destroy any energy
he displays.
The roving, dizzying camera is
supposed to create thematic distur
bance, but instead seems to be
nothing more than pretty, colorful
padding for an empty script.
“Zero” can’t even be taken as
unintentional camp, for it is too
long, overdone and facile to induce
laughs. The most unsettling thing
about “Zero” is that its homilies
about drug addiction are destroyed
by unanswered questions about
why people get hooked.
The audience never gets to see
the false visions of the elite, the
materialism and avarice that turns
children of the wealthy into fringe
dwellers. There arc numerous psy
chological explanations behind
bohemian culture — the rejection
of social mores, disgust with the
common — that are merely por
trayed as scaffolding in the much
more complex vortex of altitude
that is Los Angeles.
“Less Than Zero” explores
none of these things, making its
title eponymous at best.
Music faculty presents two concerts
The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln School of Music this week will
present two concerts performed or
composed by faculty members.
The Moran Quintet, UNL’s resi
dent woodwind ensemble, will per
form at 8 tonight at Kimball Hall. The
quintet’s program includes early
20th-century work. Featured are
Theodor Blumer’s “Serenade” and
Villa-Lobos’ “Quintette en forme de
Choros.”
Also to be performed will be
“Gavotte with Six Doubles,” a tran
scription by Japanese bassoonist
Ryohei Nakagawa of a piece from
Jean-Phillippe Rameau’s 1728 “Suite
for Harpsichord.”
Faculty members of the Moran
Woodwind Quintet include John
Bailey, flute; William McMullen,
oboe; Anthony Pasquale, clarinet;
Gary Echols, bassoon; and David
Reiswig, French horn.
Four original compositions by
three faculty members will be per
formed at 8 p.m. Thursday at Kimball
Hall. The works recently were re
leased on a recording titled “UNL
Composers.”
Included on the program will be
Randall Snyder’s “The Wild Swans at
Coole,” a setting of a poem by Yeats
that will be performed by David Price,
tenor; John Walker,oboe; and Snyder,
piano. Snyder will also premiere his
“Mexico City Blues,” a staged pro
duction of 19 Jack Kerouac poems
with Snyder in the role of Kerouac. He
is assisted by Rebbeca Van de Bogart,
flute, and A1 Rometo, bongos. Some
of the themes in this work arc not
suitable for young children. Parental
discretion is advised.
Food services look at work-study as solution
FOOD from Page 1
lem.
One solution being studied is a
work-scholarship program in which
students would receive free room and
board for working a certain number ol
hours a week. Iowa State has had a
similar program for several years.
Food service officials in Iowa report a
waiting list of students who want jobs,
Rix said.
Rix also said a federal proposal to
raise the minimum wage may have
impact on the shortage, but he is not
sure how much difference a higher
wage would make.
“I believe that students’ attitudes
are the issue here,” Rix said. “I ques
tion whether or not the dollars really
matter.”
Poor economy, credit problems stopping transfer students
TRANSFER from Page 1
cellor for academic affairs, who also
has been working to improve the situ
ation, said it is important to remember
that community colleges are not
geared toward the same kind of cur
riculum as UNL.
Community colleges tend to be
career-oriented, while four-year col
leges lean toward a broader, more
professional education, she said.
In order to improve students’ tran
sition to UNL, employees need to
keep collecting information, central
ize it, update it regularly and coordi
nate it with community colleges,
Baird said.
