| Francis Ford Coppola talks with the SGN |
by Scott Rice -
SGN Contributing Writer
I'm not a guy that gets star-struck. I've met a few famous people along the way, and most of the time I find they're just a person. Maybe an incredibly talented or wealthy person, but underneath all the celebrity, they're still just a person. This is my midwestern center peeking out from behind my fractured urbane Seattle façade.
So I was a bit chagrined to find myself getting antsy as I waited to meet with Francis Ford Coppola and the Robin to his Batman, Alden Ehrenreich, who plays Bennie in Coppola's new film Tetro.
My trepidation was understandable if you consider that I'd been up late re-watching Youth Without Youth and getting my first taste of The Rainmaker (grrrrrr Grisham). The lack of sleep was compounded by dealing with my day job(s), finishing a review of another film, and preparing for the big meet with the legend himself. To top things off, the interviews were running late so I spent a bit more than an hour milling around the Central Library, drinking iced tea, and urinating every 15 minutes.
All of my angst was pointless, because once in the ridiculously large room filled with a small round table, three chairs, and little else, I began to chat with Francis and Alden and all of my unease began to melt away.
Francis is an unassuming nice guy with a demeanor much less poetic than his films. Alden is an angel-faced college student (perhaps the luckiest one on the planet) who slipped back and forth between fidgety boredom and stabs at eloquent discourse.
They are funny together, this odd couple. They obviously enjoy each other's company and I think they both actually like doing interviews. Whatever the case, these charming men at opposite ends of nearly every spectrum you could put forth melted away my anxiety with grace and charm.
Scott Rice: How's it going?
Francis Ford Coppola: Hey, Scott. How are you?
Rice: Excellent. You guys seem fresh.
Alden Ehrenreich: We seem fresh?
Rice: Yeah, you do.
Coppola: That's because when people ask you questions you don't expect or that you didn't have to answer before, you suddenly wake up.
Rice: You know that throws down the gauntlet for me.
Coppola: Follow your heart. I'm sure if you ask something you're really interested in, it will be fine.
Rice: First question: when did you become a European filmmaker?
Coppola: You know, my generation had two traditions to stimulate them. One was, of course, the wonderful American films that we all got taken to the movies to see. But also this incredible new European tradition that was, for me, coming out in the newer scene in the late '50s or middle '50s. You know art films; Bergman, Fellini, and Kurosawa, the New Wave, and Rossellini, who sort of spawned that group with Fellini and Antonioni&.
Rice: I never hear you mention Ozu.
Coppola: I love Ozu. In fact, this film is shot as if Ozu had shot it because the camera never moves. I love Ozu.
Rice: Yeah, I thought of that in the early scenes in the apartment.
Coppola: There was a double influence since I was a theater major and I wanted to be a playwright. Of course, there began to be this idea that I could write my own stories and then just go and make it. The question was, who would let me do that?
Rice: Even though you bring in a lot of European aesthetics, you're still distinctly American in your storytelling - until the last two films.
Coppola: I think partly because that was the so-called auteur movement where people wrote and directed. In the Hollywood or American film tradition, the idea of the writer/director had not ever happened. There were a few writer/directors but they were really screenwriters like Richard Brooks or Joseph Mankiewicz. The idea of writing about some theme that caused you to write something personal was associated with the Europeans and the so-called auteur theory that Andrew Sarris identified. I was influenced by all of it because I was in the theater. I was trained in the theater so I was very interested in all the American playwrights, but also by these European auteurs. So I'd have to say with my first film, The Rain People, it was more European because I wrote and directed it. And then The Conversation, which was the second script I wrote but I didn't get to make it because nobody would give me any money and it wasn't until I had gotten a job and made The Godfather that I was able to make The Conversation. My theory is that Tetro might have been the film after that [The Conversation] had I not gotten so successful with The Godfather.
Rice: Do the notes from Tetro go back that far?
Coppola: Yeah, it went to that same time, but there was like half a page, it just said "Tetro" and all it had was a guy staring at a light bulb with moths and there was a sailor coming down the street in Detroit looking for his brother, and the brother worked at a burlesque house operating a follow-spot. But it was literally not even a page.
Rice: I'm still interested in what I believe is a renaissance in your career. I love these last two films, and I want to understand what happened. Were you, like our friend in Youth Without Youth, struck by lightning?
Coppola: What happened, I think, is that I became rich for the first time in my life.
Rice: [Laughs.] That helps.
Coppola: I got a lot of money after The Godfather, I mean it wasn't a lot by Seattle standards, but I'd never had any money until then and suddenly I had some money. [Laughs.] And I immediately used that money to continue my dreams and then I lost it. I would say what unites those films [The Godfather and The Godfather II] is that I was trying to do something that would make a lot of money so then I could make personal films.
Rice: Gotcha.
Coppola: Even Apocalypse Now, really my motive was to make a big war film, the first one on Vietnam that would be like A Bridge Too Far or Guns of Navarone and it sort of became a more personal film by accident and calamity. Then I was in hock, so all my motivation in my first career was to make money. I mean not only to make money, because I wanted to make beautiful films if I could, but from age 40 to 50 I was paying off a $30 million Chase Manhattan loan, so I had to pay $3 million a year or I would lose my home, which happened to be this winery in Napa. So, I think now what's different about my career is that I don't care about my career. I don't care if I never make a film as successful as The Godfather. I don't care if I make a lot of money. In fact, I'm calculating these movies by how much I'm willing to lose each time.
Rice: Good for you, because they're beautiful, especially Tetro. I think it is the best thing you've done since Apocalypse Now. I wanted to stay in the theater after the press screening and have them play it again with the sound off. [
Ehrenreich laughs.] I would have been happy to sit there and just look at it. And the only other director that I feel that way about is Tarkovsky.
Coppola: Thanks a lot. I think it's beautifully made. With a lot of my films, the reaction was always very wobbly. Journalists have said to me, "Are you competing with yourself? Do you want to get back to the successes of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now?" And I say, "Hey, those movies were not all successes." If I have become important, I have failed my way up the ladder.
Rice: [Laughs] That's hilarious.
Coppola: This film [Tetro] is the only film that I can remember that I went to the big screenings, like at Cannes, and there were lines around the block and people seemed genuinely enthusiastic.
Rice: Other than The Godfather films, none of my favorites were successful at the box office.
Coppola: If you took The Conversation, Rumble Fish, two other of the better ones, and put them all together, they couldn't buy that. [He gestures to a candy dish.]
Rice: As an aside, for the period of time from Peggy Sue Got Married to The Rainmaker, what's your favorite film?
Coppola: I like Rumble Fish, but I don't know&.
Rice: That was before Peggy Sue.
Coppola: I guess I like - as an extravagant, mad, illogical, piece - I like my version of Dracula.
Rice: Good answer. [Laughs.]
Coppola: Because it was really weird.
Rice: It was.
Coppola: And then how it was made was weird because that entire movie was made in a sound stage. Everything was fake; it was shot live. It was not optical effects; it was all in-camera effects the way Méliès made movies.
Rice: I can see that thinking back. So Alden, you realize the camera absolutely adores you, right?
Ehrenreich: [Laughs and looks around, bewildered.]
Rice: It's okay to say yes.
Coppola: That's a good question, because some people are just photogenic and he is photogenic. And some people are not. It's as simple as that.
Ehrenreich: I don't know. I see myself in a mirror and I see myself on film and it's always a weird thing. But I know that when I'm filming stuff, there's a really interesting chemistry between a person and a camera. When a camera is on you, especially in very intimate scenes like we have in the film, you really feel there's so much spiritual lore about the camera and stealing your soul.
Rice: Yeah.
Ehrenreich: The experience of watching yourself on film, it's sort of like I'm watching a movie and then I walk into it and it's just sort of there. I am in this movie and it's so strange to me because I've never been in a film before.
Rice: When you look at the film, are you happy with it?
Ehrenreich: Yeah, yeah.
Rice: You should be.
Ehrenreich: It's impossible for me to be objective about my performance, or about the film at all. There are so many things you know that you shouldn't if you just want to see the story. But I know that it's the film we were very heartfully trying to make, and I know that it's beautiful imagery.
Rice: You were subtle and charming. I was very impressed with the acting you did. So, huge first film, right?
Ehrenreich: Yeah, absolutely.
Rice: So, you're going to high school, you like hanging out with your friends making movies, and all the sudden you're cast in a Coppola movie.
Ehrenreich: Yeah. [Laughs.] The fact that it's Francis and the fact that it's these themes and this story and it's the iconography of so many films that I grew up loving and that we're working in that tradition. When I was little and I'd see some film where someone - you know, Montgomery Cliff in From Here to Eternity - and it's black and white and it's beautiful and these beautiful moments and god, I wished I could be in a film like that. Pretty much, nowadays, you can't. So to be able to be in one like that, but one that is asking questions that haven't been asked before, is a dream come true.
Rice: How long did it take you to realize you were going to be working with these amazing&
Ehrenreich: How long did it take to sink in?
Rice: Yeah.
Ehrenreich: It still hasn't. I'm still completely enamored and it's still completely surreal for me that this is what I get to do.
Rice: [To Mr. Coppola] Tell me about meeting the cinematographer, how do you say his name?
Coppola: ME-high MAL-a-MAR-ay [Mihai Malaimare, Jr., who also worked with Mr. Coppola on Youth Without Youth]. When I began this second career, my idea was to go to a place where the exchange rate favors you, that has a cultural tradition, a lot of theaters so you'll have actors and stuff, and that plane tickets, hotel rooms, gasoline, food - the per diem are the big items - so basically don't bring anyone with you. So when I first went to Romania, I went without anybody except all the equipment.
Rice: Your own camera, right?
Coppola: Everything, because it's a system. You know, I brained it out. It's all in one truck.
Rice: I love the idea of you with your self-contained studio driving around Romania.
Coppola: That's the way it was. At one point I started to shoot some tests of actors. I would hire a different cinematographer to do each set of tests. And there were five who could do it, I thought. But one was only 29, the youngest one. He just had something - a wonderful personality. At any rate, I went with the youngest one and had a very good experience with him, so when I went to Argentina, I brought him with me. We were there, a little group of four, and we all took Spanish lessons together. That was how that happened.
Rice: One more question: So you've got these relationships between these three men and you have the cruel father figure, the benevolent&
Coppola: Well, there are the two boys and the woman, Maribel Verdú [Miranda], she's the heart holding them together because she believes that Tetro will be&
Rice: Redeemed by Bennie.
Coppola: [She believes] that this boy is going to help Tetro find himself. And then there's the father who's never seen, but he's felt.
Rice: They're telling me my time is up. Anything I should know about the film that I haven't asked?
Coppola: For me, what it has and what I wanted & it's heartfelt and handmade.
Rice: It shows.

| EYE CANDY: 25 hottest guys in music |
by Albert Rodriguez -
SGN A&E Writer
Gay music followers have enjoyed crushes on their favorite pop and rock stars, from Buddy Holly, David Bowie and Shaun Cassidy to current heartthrobs Justin Timberlake, Adam Levine and Brandon Flowers. Anyone can put together a list of the sexiest guys, but after consulting with several friends and examining a series of photos (some in shirtless display), plus factoring in artistic skill and star potential, here is my list of the 25 very hottest men on the music scene right now (in order).
1) Jared Followill
(Kings of Leon)
Rock-star hair and green eyes are what you first notice about Kings of Leon bassist-keyboardist Jared Followill, son of a once-Pentecostal pastor. But look further down and you'll see that his skinny jeans barely leave breathing room, and we're not complaining. In 2009 already, KOL has won their first Grammy Award, headlined major festivals throughout Europe and North America, and has sold out many of the same arenas Coldplay has on their latest tour. Unbelievably sexy, this 22-year-old is tops in the hottie department.
2) Lenny Kravitz
Rock and roll god Lenny Kravitz has the chiseled body of an athlete and the looks of a supermodel, and behind a guitar - even in the nude - he's one of the most skilled musicians in the business. Kravitz has always shown off his edgy side, proved nicely by a wrap-around tattoo on his right pec and shoulders - is anyone thirsty?
3) Sam Sparro
Openly Gay dance artist Sam Sparro is known for saucy club hits, like "Pocket" and the Grammy-nominated "Black and Gold," but he's also recognized for his array of message-bearing T-shirts, such as the one reading "Worst President Ever." Here's hoping we see more, lots more, of this striking and talented Aussie.
4) Guy Berryman
(Coldplay)
Chris Martin might be the frontman of mega-successful rock band Coldplay, but it's bassist Guy Berryman who wins the beauty contest with his boyish looks, tempting brown eyes, and a smile that if seen in person - during a live concert - will simply make you fall to your knees and (you finish the sentence).
5) Jake Shimabukuro
Hawaiian-born Jake Shimabukuro plays a mean ukelele, fusing pop, rock, jazz and island folk into a unique dazzling sound. Asian-American musicians are regularly overlooked by their blue-eyed, blond-locked counterparts, but this tall, slim, attractive 20-something can no longer be ignored.
6) Billy Currington
Country crooner Billy Currington is smokin' hot, a cross between a fireman calendar pinup and a buff rock climber. Posing for the cover of Playgirl magazine and ripping off his wife-beater for a concert promo flyer, he's built in all the right places and dreamy everywhere else.
7) Mark Ronson
British wiz Mark Ronson won last year's Grammy for Producer of the Year, helming Amy Winehouse's bi-continental smash Back to Black. His choice of stylish attire, shiny suits and V-neck sweaters has made him a true fashionista. With or without designer threads, though, Ronson is undeniably gorgeous.
8) Asher Roth
Rap newbie Asher Roth is stirring lots of buzz for his quirky-yet-creative blend of hip-hop, though also for his preppy college kid looks that have men and women of all colors checking him out. Whether he's rapping about booze, late night parties, or wearing two condoms instead of one, this frat boy-like Pennsylvanian has everyone talking.
9) Gaspard Auge (Justice)
Underneath Gaspard Auge's bushy hair and scruffy face is a classic Frenchman that could pose on the cover of any men's style magazine, believe it or not. Yes, he appears to be more of a metalhead than an electronic DJ, but some of us are perfectly fine staring at him before the shave.
10) Flo Rida
If you haven't noticed, rap newcomer Flo Rida's chest can double as a buffet table - this muscular dude has us sweating in a lot of interesting places. If you love your men with meat and hard pecs, here's your guy.
11) Calvin Harris
Vertical dessert arrives in the form of dance wonder Calvin Harris, a Scottish export on the brink of an American breakthrough. Talk about an English treat, we'll have a double scoop of him - with a cherry on top, please.
12) Dierks Bentley
Country hunk Dierks Bentley wins the award for hottest daddy, after becoming a father in the past year to baby girl Evelyn. With guy-next-door looks and traditional western favorites, like "What Was I Thinkin'," this Arizona native really gets our motor running.
13) Gabe Saporta
(Cobra Starship)
Gabe Saporta was born in Uruguay, but moved with his parents to the United States at an early age. His party-boy attitude, dark and handsome image, plus a multitude of photos appearing shirtless (and in his undies) have earned him a Gay following.
14) Adam Levine (Maroon 5)
I doubt you'll find a Gay guy who'd kick Adam Levine out of bed, and while Maroon 5's songs are starting to sound stale, we can't help but keep this native Californian in our most intimate thoughts. Sexy as hell, we're still thinking about you Adam!
15) Jason Aldean
Jason Aldean has gradually climbed the honky tonk ladder of success with chart-topping albums and number-one singles, yet it's those linebacker shoulders, authentic Southern drawl, and what he packs into a tight pair of Wranglers that has us saying "yee-haw!"
16) Llandel Veguilla Malave
Salazar (Wisin y Yandel)
Gay men from Mexico to Brazil are salivating over this shorter half of Grammy-winning reggaeton duo Wisin y Yandel. Sometimes dressed in hip-hop gear, other times in a snappy two-piece suit, and always with tinted shades, this Puerto Rican is one hot tamale.
17) Adam Lambert
American Idol bridesmaid Adam Lambert has an interesting goth-like image, but he can pretty much do anything with that striking face and giant frame. His star will skyrocket in the coming months, so we're giving him some room to rise up the ranks.
18) T.I.
Rapper/badass T.I. spent time in the slammer recently, though it didn't damage his credentials as a worthy hip-hop artist or a sexy up-and-comer. Forget Kanye, we'd much rather steal long glances at this smooth ATL native.
19) Jared Leto
(30 Seconds to Mars)
TV/film actor-turned-rock heartthrob Jared Leto has dated every female celebrity out there, and we're jealous of each and every one of them. A definite hottie with credible singing chops, he's drool material and then some.
20) Chris Cain
(We Are Scientists)
Here's a memo: Keith Murray is no longer the hottest scientist in the world, the title now goes to fellow WAS member Chris Cain who represents the nerdy, eyeglass community in a sexy way. We love seeing him in cut suits, yes we do.
21) Britt Daniel (Spoon)
Redheaded vocalist Britt Daniel, of the critically-praised Spoon, towers over his bandmates at 6 foot 1. And with those light green eyes, pouty lips and semi-raspy voice, he's the unlikeliest sex symbol on the indie rock circuit.
22) Ian Watkins
(lostprophets)
No one wears a head of gel-whipped hair like Ian Watkins of punkish quintet lostprophets, but its his lower attributes tucked into very slim denims that gets our imagination streaming directly to the gutters.
23) Rob Thomas
Whether you dig his music or not, it'd be difficult to turn down Rob Thomas for anything - um, anything. We heart this guy even more for his pro stance on Gay marriage, and we promise to keep fantasizing over him as a return favor.
24) Michael Buble
Jazz sensation Michael Buble is the iPod generation's answer to Frank Sinatra. His suave pipes and polished image have earned him a big following on both sides of the Canadian border, and he's often allowed fans to pinch his bottom cheeks.
25) Alex Turner
(Arctic Monkeys)
When Arctic Monkeys splashed onto the scene in 2006, frontman Alex Turner looked like a pimply teenager with a part-time fast food job. Now he's a handsome devil, evidenced on the "Standing Next to Me" video from his side project, Last Shadow Puppets.

| RuPaul's Drag Race finalists to perform at Julia's Pride |
by Boy Mike -
Special to the SGN
Gay Pride in Seattle has offered pretty much the same fare year after year. The Pride Parade, the rally, the great food booths, you know the rest. This Pride, it's time for something fresh and exciting to add to this year's festivities.
Julia's on Broadway and Le Faux will present its first annual block party on Saturday, June 27 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Broadway and Thomas St. The much-anticipated Block Party is free, however donations may be made for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. There will be a beer garden and fabulous entertainment throughout the day, including live DJs and dancing.
Sean Paul, the star of Le Faux, tells me, "we will feature our regular Le Faux performance at Julia's on Friday, June 26th to kick off pride weekend at 10 p.m." He then adds, "The Block Party will feature RuPaul's Drag Race fan favorites Shannel and Ongina."
Additional performers include cast members of Le Faux, offering dead ringer celebrity look-alike performances of your favorite MTV divas such as Lady GaGa, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Cher, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton and the queen of pop, Madonna. In addition, there will be a rare performance by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Sean Paul tells me, "During the Block Party, I'm having a Le Faux talent search contest and the winner will receive a one-year contract with Le Faux." Contestants may apply at Broadway Boutique or Trendy Wendy. "What I'm really excited about is Shannel co-hosting Le Faux with me on Saturday."
Tickets for the Friday and Saturday's Le Faux are available at www.brownpapertickets.com or in person at Panache on Broadway. Ongina is especially excited to play Seattle. "I grew up in Edmonds and I went to school there. There are a lot of memories in the city, and by playing the Block Party, I want to add another. Performing in Seattle is a huge deal for me a since this will be sort of a homecoming. A few of my friends that I keep in touch with are excited to see me perform, as well. None of them has ever seen me on stage. It's very exciting and nerve-wracking to have my friends and family watch me perform".
Shannel tells me, "My life has changed drastically not only as an entertainer but also as a person. I have had the opportunity to travel the United States and showcase who 'Shannel' really is. I don't feel that the RuPaul show truly showed us as entertainers. I am so privileged to have been one of the chosen nine to make the true art form of drag a household name".
Shannel adds, "I'm super-excited to be in Seattle for Pride, not only to see Sean Paul again, but it's always exciting to perform for people who haven't seen me. When you get so accustomed to working for the same crowds every week here in Vegas, they tend to become spoiled, whereas in other cities they appreciate more of what I do. Seattle is a beautiful city, and I just hope to leave a lasting impression and come back year after year to entertain. Watch out, Seattle, here I come!"

| Seattle Men's and Women's Chorus season preview |
by Kevin Carson -
Special to the SGN
Time flies when you're having fun. Thirty years young, Seattle Men's Chorus (SMC) is having as much fun as ever, and so will you when you join them and Seattle Women's Chorus (SWC) for the 2009-2010 season. This new season has holiday concerts that will fill you with merriment, a spring concert that will heat you up, and a joint concert in June that will have you bursting with pride. For these Choruses, the fun has just begun.
The holidays just aren't the holidays without going to one of the Choruses' festive concerts. For 30 years, SMC has been warming cockles with superbly sung traditional carols spiced up with something new and zany that makes you wonder what those boys will think of next. This year is no exception, with Santa Baby. Santa's bag will be full of unique numbers such as a tribute to that holiday staple: the TV special. Yet this tribute passes over Frosty and Rudolph for little-known but no less special specials that, believe it or not, really did cross the airwaves. And they have a surprise up their sleeve for all you "slum dogs" out there. Of course, the wacky will be balanced with the sublime as the Chorus' more traditional fare will be accompanied by Benaroya's organ, a combination that creates a sound as heavenly as the season.
Speaking of heavenly, the angelic voices of SWC will once again be Making Spirits Bright in their holiday concert. Joyful numbers will combine with inspirational carols to create an experience the whole family will love. Your inner child will be delighted with the treats SWC is cooking up.
Spring will sizzle as the Men's Chorus embraces Latino music in Ole, Ole, Ole! From high-energy dance numbers to romantic serenades, music from Mexico, Spain, and South America will be given its due in a hot concert that honors such names as Ricky, Selena, Desi, Santana, and Iglesias. If the rhythm doesn't get you, the passion will.
June finds the Women's Chorus joining SMC to culminate the 30th anniversary season with an extravaganza aptly titled Glitter and Be Gay. This tribute to the talents of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, two great American stage composers, will celebrate their greatest collaboration West Side Story as well as the songs they worked on together for Candide. It will also focus on a few of their individual works, as both were huge talents in their own right. Bernstein as a musician celebrated for his conducting as well as his Broadway scores, and Sondheim as the undisputed Master of Broadway.
It is only fitting that such a tribute to these two individual talents, and the amazing work they did together, be performed by both Choruses. Seattle Men's Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus are the top in their fields, as the numbers they perform individually will showcase. However, when they perform together, as they will be in this concert, they are transcendent. Just the visual of them together is awe-inspiring - not to mention the sound they produce is unparalleled - combined they are larger in size than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. This will be a performance and experience not to be missed.
What better time than now to subscribe to SMC and SWC? In these trying times, attending these concerts is a great way for you to support the Choruses you love while getting to experience music that sooths your soul, inspires your mind, and fills your heart with joy. As we are reminded in Candide, "life is happiness indeed."
Subscriptions are available online at www.flyinghouse.org or by calling the box office at 206-388-1400 Monday through Friday, noon-7:00 p.m. Please note: summer box office hours, noon-5:00 p.m., June 29-September 7, 2009.
