Go ahead…The making of Watchmen was besieged with controversy and problems from
the get-go. Producers fought over rights, writer Alan Moore took his
name off the project, lawsuits flew-it was a messy Hollywood legal
battle on a grand scale begging the question: would it ever be
released?
With Zack Snyder (Dawn Of the Dead redux and 300) at the
helm, Watchmen is good for about two hours. There are amazing special
effects, exceptional acting and some of the best dialogue I have ever
heard, but then just when I told myself I could watch this all day,
Watchmen took a turn for the worse and never wholly recovered.
Keeping a Watchful Eye: Watchmen scores and falls flat on a grand scale
Cocktailing: Bars in Hospitals? Why Not?
It is no secret that we as a nation are struggling with how to make
healthcare affordable and available for everyone. The Republicans are
afraid that after the socialization of their beloved banks that the
state might try to subsidize health insurance too. But fret not, there
is a business opportunity to be had that can no doubt bring about lower
healthcare costs. Hospitals need bars in them. Certainly it is a place
where we could all use a drink, from patient to doctor to visitor,
there is plenty of stress that a little highball could do wonders for.

The Jackalope Grill: Northwestern cuisine that’s haute but never haughty
Elk medallions and blackberries, Jackalope style. Although the Jackalope Grill has been open a little more than three
years, there's something very enduring and lived-in about it. You'll
find no scene or gimmicks here. You can expect the old standards in the
background to be playing at low volume, the crowd to be civilized, and
the service to be professional and knowledgeable.
It's hardly the
first day on the job for the husband-and-wife team who own it. Kathy
Garling, the front of the house, has been working in the industry for
over 25 years and Chef Tim Garling has been in the kitchen for over 20.
Focusing on fresh, locally produced ingredients whenever possible, the
menu is largely a high-minded take on meat and potatoes. And with
Garling's classical training in French cuisine coupled with his
attention to the flavors of the Pacific Northwest, it makes sense.
Highly Unorthodox: Goodbye Dyna are doing things ass backwards and loving it
Dyna by candlelight.Three-fourths of Goodbye Dyna have gathered at the Source offices on a
Friday afternoon, all of them with the ruddy faces that can only mean
one thing on a sunny March day in Bend: they just got off the mountain.
The emerging local eclectic rockers admit that they've just finished up
their first ever "band day" at Mt. Bachelor - and this is just one of
several firsts Goodbye Dyna has chalked up as of late.
If you size up Goodbye Dyna against other local acts, it would seem
that this quartet has done everything backwards. Rather than earning a
following by slaving away in the bars for a couple years before
amassing enough material and resources to lay down some tracks in the
studio, Goodbye Dyna took a different route: they pretty much had an
album before ever playing a show. Well to say "they" is stretching it
to a degree, seeing as how front man Andrew Mowbray Jacobs played
almost all the instruments and produced the band's debut, XXVII, on his
own.

The Drinking Age: It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It
The conservative members of the Taxpayer Association of Oregon held a wingding at Dorchester last week, and one of the surprises was the overwhelming consensus in favor of allowing states to lower the drinking age.
