Known gangstersarrested in park

Police seize two assault rifles, one handgun at time of arrests in Kensington Park Christopher Henry Iser and Pedram Shirazi, both 26, face firearms-related charges

Seven gangsters have been arrested afterpolice interrupted a meeting between themen — some of whom police say were car-rying assault rifles — in a Vancouver park.

Members of the Uniformed Gang TaskForce had been monitoring the suspects in light of increased tensions within the

gang world, and made their arrests onWednesday afternoon.

Supt. Tom McCluskie, with the Com-bined Forces Special Enforcement Unit(CFSEU), said despite a recent lull in vio-lence, a gang war can erupt again at anytime.

“The potential for people to get caughtup in the violence is real and that is unac-ceptable,” he said.

“Because of (policepartnerships), we are betterable to predict where aviolent crime may occur andwork proactively to preventit.” DOUG KILOH, CFSEU CHIEF OFFICER

Actor Randy Quaid allegesthere’s a conspiracy to killhim and several other trou-bled Hollywood stars in or-der to gain control of theirmillions.

In a bizarre speech to re-porters outside the Vancou-ver immigration officewhere he’s attempting togain permission to live inCanada, Quaid said LindsayLohan and Britney Spearshave been victims of a simi-lar conspiracy. The actor,who was arrested by border

officials in Vancouver lastweek, said he and his wifearen’t criminals, fugitivesfrom justice or crazy.

On Thursday, the actorclaimed that for the last 20years he and his wife, Evi,have been the victims ofcriminal activities by peo-

ple who are out to destroythem personally, profes-sionally and financially.

He told reporters that inthe last five years, eight ac-tors he’s known have beenmurdered.

“We believe there to be amalignant tumour of star

whackers in Hollywood,”he said, naming HeathLedger, Chris Penn andDavid Carradine as some oftheir victims.

Ledger died in 2008 of anaccidental overdose of pre-scription drugs. An autopsysaid 40-year-old Penn died

in 2006 of heart disease andthe official cause of Carra-dine’s death last year wasaccidental asphyxiation.

“I believe these actorswere whacked and I believemany others, such as Brit-ney Spears, Lindsay Lohanand Mel Gibson, are beingplayed to get at their mon-ey,” Quaid told a crush ofreporters.

He said about $40 mil-lion of his earnings havebeen stolen from him.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, were arrested on an outstanding warrant for allegedly damaging a home they once owned Both had claimed refugee status on entering Canada

I’m not the onlytarget: Quaid

“I am being embezzled by this monstrous ring of accountants,estate planners and lawyers who are mercilessly slanderingme and trying to kill my career and, I believe, murder me inorder to gain control of my royalties.”RANDY QUAID

Some taxpayers not sold onCampbell’s cut announcementVancouverites aren’t soconvinced that PremierGordon Campbell’s 15 percent income tax cut, whichhe announced Wednesdaynight, will be a good thing.

“I don’t think the cut(Campbell) is giving is go-ing to ... offset the effectthe HST has had,” saidRoger, a Vancouver doctor

who preferred not to givehis surname.

Campbell’s approach tothe announcement was allwrong, said Jason Green ofDelta.

“He was still saying‘This is how it should be,’rather than, ‘You know, Imade some mistakes.’”

NDP MLA Shane Simp-

son called the cut a desper-ate attempt to buy peoplewith their own money.

“This is a another one ofthose off-the-cuff decisionsby the premier,” said Simp-son, MLA for Vancouver-Hastings. “Half the tax cutwill go to the top 20 percent earners.”

Retired NASA astronautJohn Herrington said hefelt “discombobulated,”nervous and a bit nauseousthe first time he attemptedto walk in space.

However, Herrington,whose talk about life inouter space kicked off theYear of Science at Vancou-ver Community CollegeThursday, was proud to re-port that he never got sick.

A member of the Chick-asaw First Nation of Okla-homa, Herrington is thefirst and only Native Amer-ican to venture into outerspace, and holds his her-itage in high esteem.

Among the culturalsymbols he brought withhim to the InternationalSpace Station space werean eagle feather and tradi-

tional flute, on which heplayed Amazing Gracewhile weightless in outerspace.

“The response from theNative American commu-nity has been fabulous,and the governor (of Okla-homa) has been very sup-portive of my efforts,” hesaid. KYLE FARQUHARSON

The winners of the TeensAgainst Gangs poster con-test say the goal of theirartwork is to make youththink twice before joininga gang.

“It seems to me a lot ofkids who get involved ingangs ... don’t think aboutthe other people in theirlives who care about them,or the consequences oftheir actions,” said Dou-glas Scandrett, a student atElgin Park Secondary in

South Surrey, one of thethree winners.

The winning posterswere selected by a panel ofjudges that included policeand former UN gang mem-ber James Coulter.

“The message of thecampaign is clear: crimedoesn’t pay, and being in a

gang will make your lifemuch shorter,” said Coul-ter, who spent five years inthe gang while battling anaddiction to crack cocaine.

The posters will be dis-played on a SkyTrain car,and in secondary schoolsaround the Lower Main-land, for a full year.

Don’t let things get too scaryVancouver police and firefighters are urging Vancouverites to play safe this Halloween. If using a weapon to accessorize your costume, make sure that itis noticeably fake. As for fireworks, obtain a permit and ensure that they’re litsafely.

Halloween. Bang!

Confiscated fireworks and weapons at Vancouver police headquarters Thursday.It’s that time of year again— everyone rushing tofind the perfect mask for aHalloween disguise.

But what if All Hallows’Eve was the only day of theyear when you could re-move your “mask” and bewelcomed by society?

Otherkin are peoplewhose personal philoso-phies lead them to believetheir consciousnesses, orsouls, aren’t entirely hu-man.

They feel they’re mythi-cal beings like lycan-thropes, elves and fairies.

Sanné Lambert, who

owns Venus and Mars, a re-tail store catering to alter-native lifestyles, said theappeal behind Otherkinmay be the escapism itprovides — especially atthis time of year.

Dracco, a young manfrom Surrey wishing tokeep his identity private,said he identifies with

dragons. “Anyone who doesn’t

feel totally human orthemselves inside couldcall themselves (Oth-erkin),” he said.

“They don’t feel com-plete without representingsomething outside the hu-man body.”

Another form is thevampire.

Vancouverite ChristinaMartine became a vampireaficionado at a young age,publishing her first vam-pire novel, Cat The Vamp,when she was 21.

Otherkin tend to bepowerful, beautiful, andimmortal, “and who does-n’t want to be any of thosethings?” she asked.

Firing squadexecutes ‘spies’aged 15 and 18

Onlooker faints as young Somali girls are shot ‘Those who watched could not bear the pain’

Two accused spies diedamid a fusillade of bulletsfrom a firing squad organ-ized by a hardline Islamistmilitia.

The condemned pairwere girls — aged only 15and 18.

Their grieving relativessay they were uneducated,usually stayed at home andcould not have spied foranyone.

Horrified residents ofBelet Weyne, in westernSomalia, were forced towatch the execution by al-Shabab on Wednesday.

One woman fainted asthe girls were gunneddown by 10 masked execu-tioners.

“Those who watched

the event could not bearthe painful experience.Two very young girls were

shot as they watched andno one could help,” saidDahir Casowe, a local eld-er.

Al-Shabab is linked to AlQaida and has carried outwhippings, amputationsand executions to enforceits own strict interpreta-tion of Islam.

Shortly before the exe-cutions, Sheik MohamedIbrahim sentenced thegirls to death for spyingfor government soldiersfighting al-Shabab.

The only qualificationsIbrahim needed to be ap-pointed a judge by al-Shabab were that he bemale and know theQur’an.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Innocent?

Sheik Yusuf Ali Ugas, thegovernor of the Hiran region, told the crowdover a loudspeaker thatthe girls were capturedduring fighting and theyadmitted spying.But Sadia Osman, who wit-nessed the execution, saidone of the girls proclaimedher innocence.Ugas warned residentsagainst using their mobilephones or cameras to pho-tograph the execution.

Lights, action ... protestHundreds of protesting actors and actresses, directors, screenwriters and otherworkers in the movie industry occupied the red carpet of the International RomeFilm Festival on Thursday. The high-profile stunt was part of an ongoing disputeover government funding cuts to culture. The sign held by the protesters reads“There are working people in the end credits.”

ent this year is that thegrowth rate in 2009 and2010 seems to be deceler-ating.”

Actual per capita health-care spending is expectedto rise by just 1.4 per centthis year, Kuchciak said.

“The growth rate of 1.4per cent is actually thelowest growth rate in thelast 13 years.”

Kuchciak said a number

of factors are likely behindthe shrinking rate, includ-ing belt-tightening by pro -vinces.

A similar squeeze onspending occurred duringthe mid-1990s, a period ofrestraint when the growthin health spending was ei-ther flat or negative, hesaid, noting that the trendwas reversed in the late’90s, when governmentsmade a concerted effort toboost allocations to health.

The report showshealth-care spending is ex-pected to account for 11.7per cent of Canada’s grossdomestic product in 2010,down from 11.9 per cent in2009.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Goa’s evolution fromhippie to bourgeois

GOA GIL/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Eight Finger Eddie’s timehad come and gone.

When the 85-year-old,touted as the godfather ofGoa’s hippie scene, diedlast week in a beachside vil-lage in Goa, the Indianstate he had helped put onthe travel map for globalbackpackers and stonershad long since turned itsback on him and his kind.

Goa is now a topvacation and party destina-tion, thronged by touristshungry for its high-end ho-tels and chilled-out beach-es. Along with the tourismhas come wealth, helpingGoa to become one ofIndia’s wealthiest states interms of per capita income.

It was a different sceneat Anjuna beach, now theepicenter of tourism inGoa, when Eddie arrivedwith his half-nakedbuddies, Junky Robert, Hol-

lywood Peter and TrumpetSteve in 1965.

Spending nearly half acentury in Goa, Eddiesometimes ran a soupkitchen and in 1975 startedthe Anjuna flea market as aplace for hippies and otherforeigners to hang out orbarter goods. At first, “onlyfreaks came,” local writerDominic Fernandes said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rising enrolment rates atCanadian universities werehailed Thursday as a futureboon to the Canadian econ-omy, but student advocateswarned skyrocketing tu-ition is putting post-sec-ondary education out ofreach for many students.

Overall university enrol-ment increased 3.7 percent over last year and 57per cent from 1995, the As-sociation of Universitiesand Colleges of Canada re-ported. There were 898,000full-time university stu-dents registered this fall.

That’s good news for the

economy: University grad-uates represent about aquarter of the working

population but are about40 per cent of the tax base,said association presidentPaul Davidson.

“To be able to afford thequality of life, the standardof living, the quality ofpublic services that wehave in Canada, requiresthese kind of high-qualityjobs that university gradu-ates are getting,” Davidsonsaid.

University graduates in-crease Canada’s productivi-ty and innovation, saidDavidson. They also makemore money. THE CANADIAN PRESS

A former Quebec directorof B’nai Brith said Thurs-day he’s deeply sorry fordownloading childpornography and recog-nizes the impact his ac-tions have had on hisfamily.

Bill Surkis expressed re-morse during his sentenc-ing hearing in Montreal.

The former Jewish com-munity leader, who plead-ed guilty in May to onecount each of accessingand possessing childpornography, will be sen-tenced Dec. 9.

But the Crown wants tosend a clear message tothe public that download-ing and possessing childpornography only serves

to fund an industry thatprofits from exploitingyoung children.

To that end, they wantto have Surkis, 71, de-clared a registered sex of-fender, which is a stickingpoint in the sentencing.

The Crown and defence

have agreed that Surkisshould receive the mini-mum sentence allowed bylaw — a 45-day jail term,to be served on weekends.There would be 240 hoursof community service andthree years’ probation.

The Crown’s requestthat Surkis be registeredas a sex offender and havehis DNA taken has beendismissed by Surkis andhis lawyer as unnecessaryand punitive.

“That would put me ina position where I wouldnot be able to serve mycommunity,” Surkis said.“I downloaded videos, yes,but I am not a sex offend-er.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

A newly released audiotape of al-Qaida leaderOsama bin Laden threaten-ing France appears to beauthentic, the French For-eign Ministry said Thurs-day.

The voice on the audiotape threatens to killFrench citizens to avengetheir country’s support forthe war in Afghanistanand in revenge for a newFrench law that will banburqa-like Muslim veils.The audiotape was ob-tained by the Al-Jazeera tel-evision station.

The Foreign Ministrysays the tape’s “authentici-ty can be considered estab-lished based on initialverifications.”

The message “only con-firms that reality of the

terror threat,” ForeignMinistry spokesmanBernard Valero said.

A series of terror warn-ings has put France andother European countrieson high alert in recentweeks, prompting the U.S.State Department to ad-

vise American citizens liv-ing or travelling in Europeto take more precautions.

Speculation on thesource of a potential terrorthreat in France has fo-cused on a group called al-Qaida in the IslamicMaghreb.

That group, an offshootof bin Laden’s network,has claimed responsibilityfor the abductions of fiveFrench citizens in Nigerand is believed to have tak-en them to neighbouringMali.

The French hostages, aswell as a Togolese and aMadagascar national, werekidnapped on Sept. 16while they slept in theirvillas in the uranium min-ing town of Arlit.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Though the strikes inFrance are tapering off, thefuel shortages they causedare still a problem. One infive gas stations remainempty or short of gas be-cause of the refinerystrike, said the national pe-troleum industry body.

Striking dock workershave exacerbated theshortages. Oil tankers are

lined up by the dozens inthe Mediterranean off theport of Marseille, waitingto unload. The Normandyport of Le Havre faces asimilar situation.

Dock workers havebeen protesting for amonth, partly over thepension plan, though theircentral concern is port re-form.

Unions see retirementat 60 as a cornerstone ofFrance’s generous socialbenefit system, but thegovernment says the en-tire pension system is injeopardy without the re-form because French peo-ple are living longer — anaverage of nearly 85 yearsfor women and 78 formen. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Protests weakenStrikes caused hassles forair travellers in France onThursday, but nationwidestreet protests over a planto raise the retirement ageto 62 failed to draw themassive crowds of weeks’past — a sign of slackeningresolve among the bill’sopponents.

Parliament has alreadyapproved raising the re-tirement age from 60 to62, but union leaders insistthey will not give up theirfight until conservativePresident Nicolas Sarkozyactually signs the bill. Still,fewer protesters followedthem into the streets this

time, and strikes by trainand oil workers have beentapering off in recent days.

In Paris, demonstratorswaved union flags and setoff flares, while in south-ern Marseille, they beatdrums and blew whistles.

Past demonstrationshave drawn more than amillion protesters into thestreets; this time, the Inte-rior Ministry put the figureat 560,000 nationwide. Thehard-line CGT union con-tested that number, put-

ting turnout at 2 million.“It’s true you could say

the anti-reform movementis slowing down, but youneed to ask why,” SerbaGermain, a 67-year-old re-tired police officer march-ing in Marseille, toldAssociated Press TelevisionNews.

“People are disappoint-ed, they are frustrated” be-cause the governmenthasn’t listened.

Unions and oppositionparties urged Sarkozy notto sign the law, whichpolls show is unpopular.He is expected to do so bymid-November, after it is

cleared by France’s consti-tutional watchdog.

But Sarkozy has refusedto back down, even amidtwo weeks of strikes thatcancelled trains, shutdown oil refineries and leftdrivers struggling to findgasoline.

A small number oftrains were cancelledThursday, but the problemwas bigger for airlines. Athird of flights at Paris’Charles de Gaulle airportand half of those at thecity’s smaller Orly werecancelled. Flights were ex-pected to run as normalFriday. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IF YOU DON’T KNOW, DON’T VOTE

Crucial mid-term elec-tions will take placenext Tuesday in theUnited States. The Re-publicans could regainpolitical control inWashington and blockObama’s projects.

Bryan Caplan, eco-nomics professorat George MasonUniversity, hassome advice for

the millions of voters whoplan to cast ballots on elec-tion day: If you don’t under-stand basic economics, whynot just stay home?

In his book, The Myth OfThe Rational Voter, Caplansays it’s wrong to think thatpoliticians don’t listen tothe people. On thecontrary, politicians do lis-ten ... and that’s the

problem! Voters are riddledwith biases, according toCaplan. Especially when itcomes to the economy.

Several polls carried outin the U.S. have revealedthat half of voters don’tknow the name of theirsenator or representative.

A good portion of thepopulation thinks that for-eign aid repre sents 24 percent of the federal budget.(The correct answer: Oneper cent.)

“Many people have back-ward ideas about econom-ics, having never studiedthe subject. And their opin-ions are generally the oppo-site of what an economicscourse would teach,”Caplan once told me whenI interviewed him.

For example, peoplewho have not studied eco-nomics usually think pro-tectionism is a good thing.“Instead of saying, ‘I don’t

know, I never studied that,’they state with conviction:‘Foreigners are stealing ourjobs! We have to do some-thing, regardless of whateconomists say!’”

The average voterexhibits numerous biasesin economic matters,according to Caplan’sresearch. Among otherthings, people tend to un-derestimate the advantagesof market mechanisms, orthe benefits of immigrationand free trade. They alsolike to blame scape goats foreconomic problems —speculators, oil companies,Wal-Mart, the Chinese ...

The end result: In orderto cater to voters,politicians enact laws thatpersecute those scapegoats,or erect protectionist barri-ers (taxes and tariffs) to lim-it free trade. Policies that,

according to Caplan,impoverish the economy asa whole. The professor,who does not shy awayfrom controversy, is consis-tent with his recommenda-tions: Encouraging peopleto vote is a bad idea, hesays. “Those who abstainfrom voting are, onaverage, less educated andless informed. If all of thosepeople voted, the averagevoter would be even moreignorant of economic mat-ters.”

Politicians would adjusttheir electoral platforms tocater to those voters.

Voting is a civic duty,they say. But for some,could the opposite be true?

The S&P/TSX compositeindex dipped 3.16 points to12,564.09 as investors gavea mixed reception to a vari-ety of earnings reports,while the TSX Venture Ex-change gained 18.13 pointsto 1,926.16.

The Canadian dollarracked up a solid gain, ris-ing 0.69 of a US cent to 97.9cents US after a strengthen-

ing U.S. currency hadpushed the loonie lowerthe previous two sessions.

Gold stocks led ad-vancers on higher bullionprices and a well-receivedearnings report from Bar-rick Gold Corp.

Barrick shares rose$1.13 to $48.07 as the com-pany posted a record third-quarter profit of $837million US or 84 cents pershare, rising from a year-ago loss of $5.35 billion or

$6.07 per share when itwound up of its gold hedg-ing program.

The base metals sectorwas also positive as the De-cember copper contract onthe New York MercantileExchange added one centto $3.79 US a pound. Equi-nox Minerals gained 13cents to $5.58, whileLundin Mining climbed 19cents to $6.50.

Tell me about the movie?

People have to rememberthat it is not a biopic. Thisis two days of the journey.

It is about a group of peo-ple coming together tolook at some hard truthsabout the challenges weset up for ourselves andthe challenges that lurkwithin ourselves.What are your memories of

Rick’s journey at the time?

I lived in theneighbourhood and was atOakridge the day they left... that was just about allanybody heard from themuntil about a year laterwhen these films startedcoming back from Chinaand, holy cow, look at allthe people in the streets.This is pretty cool.What was it like to make a

movie about someone you

know personally?

There’s a great deal of re-sponsibility that wentalong with this. You’retelling a story of someoneyou know. It’s one thing totry a story from the past,but when you really knowsomebody — it’s anincredible responsibility toRick and Amanda and Leeand everybody involved.Tell me about your role?

I’m a photojournalist, astringer for Reuters or UPI,who is assigned to do thisstory. My immediate reac-tion is one of dismissal ...you’ve sent me out hereinto the middle ofnowhere for some nutcasein a wheelchair and his

crazy friends. I’m the badguy. The devil’s advocate ...and in asking those ques-tions of them, I makethem look into themselvesand ask, “Why are we do-ing this? What is the pur-pose?” If it were not fordoubters, naysayers,dismissers, like the Ivancharacter, Rick wouldn’thave done it in the firstplace because peoplewould be aware and wouldbe sensitive. People withdisabilities are oftendismissed andmarginalized. Rick’s storyis a constant reminderthat we’re all rockin’ inthe same boat, baby.

Re: What do you do whenjoke’s on you? (Oct 28)

TORONTO. The article by Mr.Mazerolle contains somesignificantly offensive re-marks. In particular, helikens feelings, when hefailed to succeed as astandup comic, to “some-thing akin to a kid whodrops his ice creamcombined with thosePalestinian women you seemourning on television.”

This remark is offensiveon many levels, but in par-ticular it is demeaning anddismissive of women suf-fering the loss of lovedones during a war. The re-ferral to the “Palestinianwomen” in this contextimplies that they, and

their grief, are somehowlesser, and mocks their re-actions to their losses. Idoubt Mr. Mazerolle wouldhave made a similar refer-ence to mourning Canadi-an women. His use of thegrief of these women inthis context serves todehumanize them and iscertainly not funny.

The use of the referenceto the Palestinian womenin conjunction with adropped ice cream cone isa further degradation tothe plight of these women,which should beconsidered separately fromtheir context in the politi-cal arena in the MiddleEast. MALERIE ROSE

“�� ENTHRALLING.”Roger Ebert

VIOLENCE,COARSE LANGUAGE

127 Hoursnot typicalacting rolefor FrancoJames Franco is the first toadmit 127 Hours isn’t yourtypical film, since it wasn’this typical acting job,either.

“There were a lot ofthings that were unusual,”he says. “I mean, you don’tusually spend most movieswith an armed pinned be-hind a boulder. But thenyou also don’t spend mostmovies alone or withoutother actors. So all of thattook adjusting.”

Franco has beenmaking a lot ofadjustments lately, choos-ing career moves thathave surprised onlookers— including his recentstint on General Hospitaland his return to school.But he claims he’s not in a“why not?” phase of hiscareer.

James Franco takes on the real-life survival story of Aron Ralston in 127 HoursActor underwent big weight loss to mimic what happened to Ralston during his five days

of having his arm trapped under a boulder Video diary helped Franco prepare for role

Playing a hiker with his armpinned under a boulder forfive days brought its ownset of challenges for JamesFranco, who stars as AronRalston in Danny Boyle’strue-life 127 Hours. The firstthing he had to worryabout, though, was hiswaistline.

“He told me I should goon a diet,” Franco says of hisfirst meeting with the direc-tor. “First of all, Aron was ingreat shape, but also he lost40 pounds while he was

there, from water depriva-tion mostly.”

Of course, recreated arapid weight loss during thefilm’s production wasn’tfeasible, so Franco shed asmuch weight as he couldbefore filming, then reliedon some helpful tools tobulk back up when needed.

“We actually even builtthis prosthetic that we end-ed up unfortunately calling‘the plumper,’” he says. “Itwas just this mouthpiecethat would plump mycheeks out for the earlyparts of the film, and thenas he started deterioratingwe could use smaller andsmaller versions until we

didn’t use any.” One useful tool for cap-

turing Ralston’s ordeal wasthe extensive video diary hekept.

“When we watched thereal videos, one of the morepowerful things about themis how simple it was andhow direct and connected itwas,” Franco remembers.

“Some of the video mes-sages are verbatim what heactually said,” Franco says.

However, as an actor, hewasn’t interested in just re-gurgitating Ralston’s words.

“Our whole kind of ap-proach — not just for thevideo messages but in gen-eral — was that we would

honour Aron’s story and wewould do everything thathe did, but also we wantedto kind of have our own ap-proach to the story,” he ex-plains.

“And so with the videomessages, they were script-ed, but I felt like Dannygave me the freedom to bejust a little loose with thewords. But every once in awhile there’d be a line inthere and I’d say to myself, ‘Ijust won’t say that becauseit’s kind of stupid.’ And thenDanny would come to meand say, ‘Well, actually, forwhatever reason, Aron is in-sistent that you say thosetwo words.’”

Line-up subject to change.

Will Ferrell is such a hum-ble guy that when he’sasked what it’s like to leada big animated comedylike Megamind, the affableactor quickly diverts the

attention.“I don’t really consider

myself front and centre ofthis fine cast,” said Ferrellbefore noticing a giantbanner over his shoulderclearly focusing on the tit-ular character. “So I guessI am front and centre.”

Indeed he is. Ferrell isthe voice of Megamind, ablue-skinned supervillainthat suddenly defeats hisnemesis and finds himselfin the unlikely role of pub-lic defender.

It may be his second an-imated feature (after Curi-ous George), but the moviedoes mark a first for thefunnyman.

“It’s the first time (mykids) have commented onsomething I’ve been in,”laughed Ferrell admitting

his children didn’t neces-sarily affect his choice inthe role.

“This was just kind of adecision based prettymuch on wanting to tryand do another animatedmovie and getting thechance to work with (di-rector) Tom (McGrath) so

my children were not con-sulted — nor are they everconsulted about anything.It’s a very strict house-hold.”

Kidding aside, its obvi-ous Ferrell had fun conjur-ing up the voice of aninept big-headed evildoerthat hilariously mispro-

nounces words like“school” — the result ofmuch improvisation in therecording studio.

“There is a greatamount of freedom interms of getting to comeup with stuff on the spot,”said Ferrell, who has con-siderable respect for the

art. “What’s lost on theproject is how hard it is toarticulate any emotionalgearshift just with yourvoice. Playing the comedyis one thing but I thinkthere’s a real skill for anyof these actors that can ef-fectively do that consis-tently.”

Naomi Watts and Sean Penn star in Fair Game.

Watts goes from being a mom to CIA spy

When Naomi Watts wascast as outed CIA agent Va-lerie Plame in Fair Game,director Doug Liman hadjust one criticism of her.

“Doug said, ‘You’re toosoft and maternal, andyou’re going to bootcamp,’” she remembers. “Idid some paramilitarytraining for three days. So

don’t mess with me.”The reason she looked a

bit maternal, of course,was because she had justgiven birth to her secondson with husband LievSchreiber.

“Basically, I had a babyon December 13, I readthe script on December 28and we were filming inFebruary,” she says.

And while three daysmay not seem like all thatlong, the grueling trainingshe went through —

alongside actual govern-ment trainees — soundspretty gruesome. At leastthe details she’s allowedto disclose, that is.

“There’s one thing I’mnot even allowed to talkabout,” she says. “As Dougwalked out, they sort ofkicked me in the shinsand threw me to theground and I went, ‘Ow!’and he said, ‘OK, don’t sayow again unless you needto go to the hospital.’ So itwas intense.”

Luckily, she had somesupport at home, asSchreiber was preparingfor another CIA role inSalt while she studied upfor Fair Game, whichproved convenient.

“It was very funny andvery strange to have, firstof all, two of us shootingat the same time — that’sthe first time it ever hap-pened with us — and sec-ond of all that we wereboth playing spies,” shesays.

A Milleniumlet downThe Girl Who Kicked TheHornets Nest Genre: DramaDirector: Daniel AlfredsonStars: Noomi Rapace, MichaelNyqvist, Lena Endre88

The cinematic adaptationof Stieg Larsson’s Millenni-um Trilogy kicked off witha bang thanks to The GirlWith The Dragon Tattoo,

which was excellent. Sad-ly, it ends on a whimperwith this disappointingmovie.

While the first film of-fered delightfully trashysex-fueled intrigue, the se-quels have gone for an irri-tating mix of ill-conceivedaction movie theatrics andendless exposition. This2.5 hour conclusion is pri-marily dedicated to char-acters explaining the plotof the previous twomovies and somehow the

story arc of the series stilldoesn’t quite make sense –and that’s a difficult feat.

Lead actors Noomi Ra-pace and Michael Nyqvistare still compelling screenpresences portrayingintriguing characters, buteven they are drowned outby all the exposition. Theactors seem bored by thematerial this time and un-derstandably so; audienceswill likely feel the sameway.

Tamara DreweGenre: ComedyDirector: Stephen FrearsStars: Gemma Arterton, RogerAllam888

This big screenadaptation of theGuardian comic stripTamara Drewe sees direc-tor Stephen Frears returnto the social satire of ear-

ly work. The story of asuccessful columnist(Gemma Arterton) whostirs things up in herchildhood village of ruralDorset is an amusing dis-traction with somewinning performances —particularly fromArterton, who makes theselfish Tamara likeable.

RICHARD CROUSE

Inside JobGenre: DocumentaryDirector: Charles FergusonStars: Matt Damon, ChristineLagarde, George Soros888

It’s hard to imagine a morethorough examination ofthe global economiccollapse within the restric-tions of a feature length

film than CharlesFerguson’s Inside Job. Thedirector piles on informa-tion at an incredible clip. Acomplex, maddening,informative, and thankful-ly entertaining dissectionof a difficult subject thatdemands close attention,but pays off.

PHIL BROWN

Carlos Genre: DramaDirector: Olivier Assasys Stars: Edgar Ramirez, Alexan-der Scheer, Nora vonWaldstatten)8888

Easily the fleetest five-hour movie around,French director Olivier As-sayas’ globe-trotting biopicof the notorious terroristCarlos the Jackal is

highlighted by an hour-long depiction of a 1975raid on OPECheadquarters in Vienna:it’s action filmmaking toshame 99 per cent of Hol-lywood blockbusters.

The film lags in its finalsection (depicting Carlos’fall from prominence) butit’s still a dazzling exercisein historical re-creation.

HOLLYWOODLOVES TO GIVEYOU A SCARE

[email protected]

ASaturday mati-nee screeningof last year’sParanormalActivity wasthe first and

only time I have everheard anyone actuallyscream in a theatre. I don’tmean a quiet whimper fol-lowed by an embarrassedlaugh or a frightened littlesqueal. No, I mean a full-on, open throated howl ofterror.

The release of Paranor-mal’s prequel lastweekend got me thinkingabout other big screenscream worthy scenes. Sojust in time for Halloweenare some leave-the-lights-on movie moments.

If Alfred Hitchcock hadany doubts about the effec-tiveness of the shower se-quence in Psycho theymust have been put to bedwhen he received an angryletter from the fatherwhose daughter stoppedbathing after seeing thebathtub murder scene inLes Diaboliques and then,more distressingly, refusedto shower after seeing Psy-cho. Hitch’s response tothe concerned dad? “Sendher to the dry cleaners.”

The shower scene wasterrifying but at least itwas allowed to stay in themovie. In 1931Frankenstein star BorisKarloff demanded thescene in the movie wherethe monster plays with alittle girl, throwing flowersin a pond be cut from thepicture. It’s a cute sceneuntil the beast runs out offlowers and tosses the lit-tle girl into the water, leav-ing her to drown. Karloff,and audiences, objected tothe violence against theyoungster and the scenewas shortened, thenremoved altogether and re-mained unseen until a spe-cial videotape release 48years later.

More recently The Exor-cist (now beautifullyrestored on Blu Ray) sotraumatized audienceswith shots of the possessedRegan MacNeil's 360-degrees head spinning thatin the U.K. the St. John's

Ambulance Brigade wereon-call at screenings totend to fainters. Star LindaBlair says she wasn’t trau-matized by the film, butadmits there has been onelong lasting side effect.“You wouldn't believe howoften people ask me tomake my head spinaround,” she says.

Blair may have been un-fazed while shooting hergruesome scenes, but notall actors emergeunscathed. Elisha Cuthbertwas so grossed out whileshooting the notoriousblender scene in the down-and-dirty flick Captivityshe says she felt “physical-ly ill twice” and had tohave a bucket nearby.

Scary scenes one andall, but recounting thembegs the question, why arewe drawn to them? Thequick answer comes fromAlfred Hitchcock who said,“People like to be scaredwhen they feel safe.”

Top 5

Here are Richard Crouse’s

top five scariest movie

moments.

1. Alien: The chest-burst-ing scene has beenspoofed in everythingfrom Spaceballs to Shrek 2,but there is nothing funnyabout the original’s grue-some xenomorph birth se-quence.2. Dawn of the Dead:

What’s scarier than a zom-bie baby? A really hungryzombie baby with a tastefor brains! 3. Carrie: The movie isfilled with unforgettableimages, but Sissy Spacek’sbloody hand reaching outof her grave, grabbingAmy Irving’s arm duringthe final dream scene is ashocker.4. The Wizard of Oz: Twowords: Flying monkeys. 5. Freaks: The remarkablefinale shows the title char-acters making their waythrough the scariest rainstorm ever presented onfilm to get their revengeon the manipulative (andmurderous) Cleopatra.

THE ULTIMATE HALLOWEEN PLAYLIST

This weekend will befrantic withHalloween parties.But what to include

on the playlist? Here’swhat I think is an essentiallist that DOESN’T includeclichés like Thriller, Ghost-busters and The MonsterMash.

Alien Sex Fiend/Now I’m Feel-

ing Zombified

Born in the Batcave (a Lon-don club that served as theoriginal crypt for the BritishGoth scene), ASF featuredNik Fiend on vocals. Heused to work the cloakroomand given the nature of theclientele, I’m sure hehandled many actual cloaks.

Bauhaus/Bela Lugosi’s Dead

Bauhaus’ first single—asprawling nine-and-a-halfminute echo-drenched mon-ster — came out in August

1979. Point of trivia: theartwork for the original sin-gle is a still from TheCabinet of Dr. Caligari, ahorror film from 1920.

Nick Cave and the Bad

Seeds/Red Right Hand

Nick scooped the titleMilton’s Paradise Lost andturned it into the story of aserial killer from the ghetto.

Legend has it this song in-spired the entire vibe of thesoundtrack from the first X-Files movie.

The Birthday Party/Release the

Bats

Before Nick moved to Eng-land, he fronted theBirthday Party, one of Goth’sfirst wave of groups. One lis-ten and you’ll be swattingimaginary bats away fromyour head all night.

Roky Erickson/Burn the Flames

A vampire sits at a piano ex-horting the eternal flamesto burn higher. Used in Re-turn of the Living Dead.

Oingo Boingo/Dead Man’s Par-

ty

The title track of OB’s fourthalbum back in 1985. Thevideo featuring dancingskeletons became indeliblyconnected to the band for

the rest of their career.Interesting fact: Oingo Boin-go leader Danny Elfmannow composes for moviesand television. He wrote thetheme for The Simpsons.

Mike Oldfield/Tubular Bells

When director WilliamFriedkin was looking forsomething supernaturallyscary to serve as the theme

for The Exorcist, he found itin the opening sequence of ajust-released one-man-opuscalled Tubular Bells by Eng-lishman Mike Oldfield.

The entire piece is almost26 minutes long, but all youreally need is the first fourminutes.

The Von Drats/Phantom Chop

Group from Dratsylvannia

(at least that’s what theytold me) temporarily livingin Toronto until the villagersgive up and go home withtheir pitchforks.

They learned everythingthey needed to know aboutmusic from the theme songof The Munsters.

Mariah Carey is going tohave to add lullabies to herrepertoire.

The superstar singerconfirmed on NBC's Todayshow Thursday that sheand husband Nick Cannonare expecting their firstchild. Carey says the babyis due in the spring.

Carey had declined todiscuss her pregnancy, thesubject of rampant specu-lation for months, untilnow.

“Yes, we are pregnant,it's true,” she said in an in-terview with Access Holly-wood’s Billy Bush that wasshown on Today.

“It’s been a long jour-ney, but it's been tough be-cause I've been trying to ...

hold on to a shred of priva-cy, and that was not easy.”

Carey, 40, and Cannon,30, have been the subjectof a baby watch since theygot married after a whirl-wind romance two yearsago.

They laughed off the ru-mours when they occurredsoon after their wedding.

“We thought it was fun,because they kept saying,‘Oh she’s pregnant.’ Yeah,whatever. So we took thetest and it was positive,”she said.

But Carey had a miscar-riage soon afterward.

“It was really sad, so wereally had to absorb thisand take it in,” she said.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Whatever you may think ofSarah Palin, the fact re-mains Alaska is magnificentwith her as its presenter.

Sarah Palin’s Alaska, pre-miering on TLC on Nov. 14,adds TV host to Palin’scrowded resume, which al-ready includes former gov-ernor, former GOPvice-presidential candidate,bestselling author and con-servative superstar.

Palin also is a wife, a

mother of five and a grand-mother, of course, and hernew series integrates herhome life with Alaska’sgreat outdoors.

Judging from the first ofeight episodes, SarahPalin’s Alaska keeps politicsout of the picture. Sure, theshow is effective in sellingthe Palin brand. But alongthe way, Palin throws her-self into selling thegrandeur of Alaska.

The much-anticipateddocumentary series, shotlast summer, is based atPalin’s lakeside home inWasilla. There, cupcakesare baked and kids do theirchores (or hear about itfrom Palin). Then Palin setsoff, with family members intow, on a jaunt such assalmon fishing on Big RiverLake, where, almost withinreach at the shoreline, afamily of bears keeps them

amused.“Girls, when you cast,

don’t aim toward the bear,”Palin cautions daughterPiper and niece McKinley intheir boat.

“Why?” is the automaticcomeback. Any parent willinstantly relate.

Later in the program,Palin demonstrates mettle(and alarm) as she goesrock-climbing with her hus-band, Todd, at Denali Na-tional Park – and gets stuckmidway.

The guide calls down in-structions and encourage-ment, but Palin is stalled.

“I just don’t likeheights!” she declares. “Iwas so cocky – I’m beingpunished for it. I don’tknow if I can do this!”

It’s a remarkable admis-sion from this famouslycan-do personality, and, asviewers are informed, some45 minutes pass before shefigures out how to continueher ascent. Then she does it.

“That’s so much worsethan I ever thought itwould be!” she says after

reaching the summit.The series is produced by

Mark Burnett, whose manycredits include Survivor andThe Apprentice. In a recentinterview with The Associ-ated Press, he marveled athow gung-ho all the Palinswere in taking part.

“It would start out with,‘We’re gonna have Sarahand Todd do something,’”Burnett said. “And as she’sgetting ready, she wouldsay, ‘Piper, you want tocome? Willow, you want tocome?’ Take the politicsaway, and this is a family,and they hang out a lot to-gether.”

The show boasts eye-popping scenes across thestate’s vastness.

But, the Palins make itclear they’re irked thatwriter Joe McGinniss is liv-ing right next door.

Todd Palin explains,“Our summer fun has beenkind of taken away fromus because of a new neigh-bour next door who’s writ-ing a hit piece on mywife.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pasta problems?We got you covered

Chances are you know lin-guine goes with clam sauceand fettuccine loves Alfre-do. But which pasta pairswith pesto? Or a hefty car-bonara?

“Pasta has evolved overmany hundreds of years inItaly and it's taken a longtime for them to work outwhat tastes best,” saysBritish chef Jacob Kenedy,co-author with graphic de-signer Caz Hildebrand ofThe Geometry of Pasta. To-gether they are advocatesof a simple truth: Pasta andsauce, correctly paired,yield a sublime experience.

They had plenty of mate-rial to work with. Morethan 300 shapes of pasta ex-ist, each with a specific tex-ture and strategy fordelivering flavours.

In general, lighter saucespair well with thin pastas.Oily, punchy sauces go withthicker pastas. Sauce willcling to a rough-texturedpasta, such as a ridgedpenne, Kenedy says, while asmoother one like spaghet-ti will create a more deli-cate dish. Short tubes andcup shapes are good for“sauces with bits in them,”Kenedy says, such as thosewith diced meat or vegeta-bles.

“More intricate shapesare quite fun to play with,”he says. “It’s like whenyou’re a little kid and youput things in your mouth.”

Which doesn’t mean youneed to fill your cupboard

with dozens of differentpastas. But at least makeroom for a few new ideas.

“It's a shame not to feelencouraged to try some ofthese amazing shapes,” saysHildebrand.

Farfalle With Prosciuttoand CreamPreparation:

1 Bring a large saucepanof salted water to a boil.Cook pasta to al dente(still barely firm at thecentre) according topackage directions.

2 While pasta cooks, in alarge bowl, combinecream, prosciutto,Parmesan and egg yolks.Season with salt andpepper.

Cain’s pitching, Renteria’s HR give Giants 9-0 win over Rangers

Giants go up2-0 in Series

Andres Torres of the San Francisco Giants congratulates Edgar Renteria after

Renteria hit a home run during the fifth inning of Thursday’s Game 2 of the World Series.

MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Matt Cain shut down theTexas Rangers with the typeof suffocating pitching thatput the San Francisco Gi-ants in the World Series.

Two more games likethis and they’ll win theWorld Series.

Cain was sharp, theRangers bullpen was notand San Francisco brokeaway for a 9-0 win Thursdaynight. The Giants headed toTexas with a 2-0 lead thatlooked to come way too eas-ily.

Edgar Renteria reprisedhis October success with ago-ahead home run, andthe Giants erupted withseven runs in the eighth,the biggest inning in theirpost-season history.

Four straight two-outwalks by Texas relievers letthe game out of control. Atthis rate, team presidentand part-owner Nolan Ryan

probably wants to grab aball himself and get on themound.

Texas set a record formost runs allowed in a fran-chise’s first two Seriesgames.

“You take all the runsyou can get,” Giants manag-er Bruce Bochy said. “It’snice to have a cushion go-ing into the ninth.”

Cain drew frenzied ova-

tions from a crowd wavingHalloween-coloured orangepompons, a day after theGiants won the opener 11-7.

San Francisco pushedacross just 19 runs againstPhiladelphia in the six-game NL championship se-ries but has outscored Texas20-7 and outhit the Rangers.314 to .227.

“I think that more or lessit has to do with the pitch-ing we’ve been facing,”Rangers manager RonWashington said. “We hadsome opportunities early inthe ballgame to put someruns on the board, and wehad the right people upthere, and he made hispitches.”

C.J. Wilson allowedRenteria’s fifth-inninghomer, then left the moundaccompanied by a trainerwith a blister on the middle

finger of his pitching handfollowing a leadoff walk inthe seventh. Juan Uribeadded a run-scoring singleagainst reliever DarrenOliver.

“This blister is some-thing he’s been dealingwith all year,” Washingtonsaid. “He’ll put some glueon it and do whatever hehas to do to close it up.”

San Francisco pulledaway as Washington againmade bullpen moves toolate. Derek Holland relievedwith a man on and forcedin a run with three straightwalks, the last to AubreyHuff, and Mark Lowe forcedin another run with a walkto Uribe. Renteria followedwith a two-run single toleft. Pinch-hitter AaronRowand hit a two-run tripleagainst Michael Kirkman,and Andres Torres doubledin a run. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ERIK GUAY: SKIING’SCONSTANT CANUCK

SCOTTRUSSELL

Field of Play Canadian ski racing starErik Guay is anonymousas he strolls down Toron-to’s busy Yonge Street.“Kind of looks like I’mcarrying my makeup kit,”

Guay grins. “But this, for a skier, islike winning the Stanley Cup, Iwould imagine.”

With that, the 29-year-old nativeof Mont Tremblant, Que., extractsthe Crystal Globe emblematic ofbeing the season’s best Super-G ski-er on the World Cup circuit.

In Europe he’s a god. Guay is thefirst Canadian since Steve Podbors-ki in 1982 to win the Globe.

“It was the culmination of a lotof hard work,” Guay says with obvi-ous pride as he cradles the Globe.“It meant so much to not only mebut to my mother and father and toevery member of our ski-racingfamily.”

Erik Guay missed two goldmedals by mere hundredths of asecond at the Olympics in Whistler.

For these close calls he’s been writ-ten off, along with other membersof the Canadian Alpine Ski Teamwho failed to reach the podium, asunderachievers.

Nothing could be further fromthe truth, especially in Guay’s case.

“The importance of winning thatCrystal Globe is lost on many Cana-dians,” says world downhill cham-pion John Kucera.

“The Olympics is a big event buta one-day event. The Globe meansthat you are the force in your disci-

pline all season long.”Being underrated is nothing new

for Guay. His statistics speak volumes.

With 13 podium finishes on theWorld Cup circuit he is one shy ofKen Read’s career total of 14 andonly seven behind Podborski, whois the all-time Canadian leader.Read and Podborski claimlegendary status as members of theCrazy Canucks.

In the meantime, Erik Guayshows every sign that he maysomeday soon surpass his heroes.

“He didn’t have anyone to showhim the way,” acknowledgesManuel Osborne-Paradis. “Erik wason his own on the way up and he’sfigured out how to do this all onhis own.”

He is a winter superstar who haseluded the limelight. For Erik Guayit’s a shame because only now is heentering his prime.

He is skiing’s constant Canuckwho may someday be rememberedas the greatest of them all.

He bears his sport’s greatest treasure in a silvercase the size of a hatbox.
