A CONTEMPORARY PRESENTATION
Carlin to perform at Orpheum
From Staff Reports
Faster than a speeding Scud mis
sile, stronger than vodka and able to
scare small children in a single bout,
it’s comedian George Carlin and his
“Void Where Prohibited” show.
From disc jockey to stand-up co
median to author to film and televi
sion actor, Carlin has spread his caus
tic wit across five decades.
His most recent success, “The
George Carl in Show,” a weekly sitcom
on Fox, put Carlin into the television
lineup. The show will reappear for 13
episodes during the winter of 1994.
In 1956, a 19 year-old Carl in start
ed his career as a disc jockey at KJOE
in Shreveport, La. In the early ’60s,
Carlin worked as a stand-up in night
clubs across the nation developing his
uncanny sense of bizarre humor.
Through the ’60s and ’70sCarlin’s
humor changed with the times; how
ever, it never lost its sting as Carlin
became part of the social “countercul
ture,” stepping off the beaten path.
“Void Where Prohibited” is testi
mony to Carlin’s growing penchant
forbringing the nasty things in society'
into a different light.
Carlin will be performing at Oma
ha’s Orpheum Theater on Friday at 8
p.m. with special guest Dennis Blair.
Tickets arc $19.75. All scats reserved.

Th« answer to the tost question
This week’s
new videos
“Intersection” — A man
(Richard Gcrc) who is about to
die has flashbacks on key mo
ments of his life, cumulating
with a choice between return
ing to his wife (Sharon Stone)
or running off with his
newfound love Olivia (Lolita
Davidovich).
The plot is solid, but the
acting is so wooden that you
expect splinters to grow from
the performers’ heads. Take a
walk in the park instead.
“My Girl 2” — If you rent
this flick, have a bottle of
Listcrinc handy to wipe the taste
of it out of your mouth. Vada
(AnnaChlumskyfromthcorig
inal) is still growing up, and is
facing all the typical problems
of typical teenagers.
Ho-hum. Go alphabetize
your pasta.
“Lightning Jack” — The
release of this on video shows
that lightning (unfortunately)
sometimes does strike twice.
This one struck in the the
aters to bore audiences every
where, and now it is coming to
plague your homes. Paul Hogan
plays a cowboy-type Austral ian
outlaw trying to make a name
for himself through a series of
misadventures.
For a hilarious western-com
edy, rent “Blazing Saddles”.
“The Ref” — At last! A
movie that doesn’t require dis
infcctingorcxorcisingtheVCR
afterwards! Denis Leary (“Judg
ment Night”) plays a burglar
who ends up taking the world’s
most dysfunctional family hos
tage. Leary’s brand of humor
shines here, and the movie is
quite a hoot.
Check it out.
