State legislators passed $240 million worth of tax increases Wednesday after a heated debate on the House floor.

The measure, an essential com-ponent in completing the state budget, passed the House by a vote of 38-28, after being debated for nearly three hours. The bill will now go to the Governor’s desk for executive approval.

Speaker Ben Lujan (D-Santa Fe) said similar bills have been in-troduced in the past and he saw it as a necessary piece of legislation.

“It is not with great joy that we come into a session to increase revenues and place a burden on our citizens,” he said. “Let’s put this bill behind us.”

The omnibus tax bill rolled three separate Senate bills into one. It included a measure to al-low municipalities to impose a 2 percent tax on all food items. This is to compensate for the annual payments cities have been receiv-ing to make up for revenue losses after the food tax was eliminated in 1995. The state will now elimi-nate that subsidy.

The bill increases the state gross receipt tax by an eighth of a cent. It will also make changes to tax policies by allowing state and local deductions from federal tax-es to be included as taxable New

Mexico income and lowering the state low-income tax rebate re-quirement to include more people. The bill also creates a gross receipt tax for businesses that make out-of-state purchases, a practice that is not taxed under existing laws.

Many Republicans opposed the bill moving to the floor before be-ing vetted in committee, which is the usual practice.

Rep. Keith Gardner said ignor-ing the tradition was damaging to the sanctity of the committee process.

“If we circumvent that process and bring it to the House floor, members may be uniformed on the content of the legislation,” he said. “Potentially, bad policy could pass unbeknownst to many members and could have adverse effects.”

Though there was a motion by Rep. Gardner to refer the bill to the Tax and Revenue Committee, the motion died at a vote of 39-24. Subsequent motions to separate the food tax from the bill and to strike it completely also failed.

“These are not decisions I rel-ish, but they are decisions I am willing to make,” he said.

During the debate, Senate lead-ership said that the omnibus bill was necessary to balance the bud-get. Sen. John Arthur Smith (D-Deming) said if the bill failed to pass the House without amend-ment, it would violate the agree-ment between House and Senate leadership.

If the Sen-ate makes changes to the budget, it will have to return to the House for concurrence. By law, the Legis-lature is required to submit a bal-anced budget to the governor.

The session has already run one day over what was anticipat-ed, and the session costs taxpayers roughly $50,000 a day.

What do David Letterman, Nin-tendo Wii, and YouTube have in common? They are all a part of Greg-ory Washington’s plans for UNM.

In the Stamm Commons room at the Centennial Engineering Cen-ter, engineering students were giv-en an opportunity to ask Washing-ton, a finalist for the dean position at the College of Engineering, a few questions.

“I’m not your average Dean,” Washington said before launch-ing into his top-10 reasons — Da-vid Letterman style — why he is

considering a University of New Mexico appointment.

Washington brings what he re-fers to as “experiential learning” to the College of Engineering at UNM. This is an approach that en-lists freshmen students in programs that take apart components, like Wii controllers, and then puts them back together to control robots that they constructed.

“Experiential learning takes the academic rigor out of what students have learned in the classroom and allows them to use it in an applied fashion,” he said.

This concept facilitates a greater understanding of harder engineer-ing concepts as students progress in

their engineering studies. Washington, who is interim dean

of the College of Engineering at Ohio State University, said he has built strong relationships with Ohio’s lo-cal industries, garnering dollars for research work and providing in-ternship positions for engineering students.

Engineering student Michael Sheyka said Washington showed an interest in student experience at the college.

“He’s the first guy to worry more about the student than the other deans we’ve had, or the other ones being considered,” Sheyka said. “He wants to be connected, and most deans are detached.”

Sheyka said he prefers Wash-ington over the other two School of Engineering candidates — Patrick O’Shea and Daniel Fleetwood.

“I’d be more comfortable inter-acting with a dean who cared about me as a student and that would al-low my needs to supersede admin-istrative duties,” he said.

Scott Carreathers, director of Af-rican American Student Services, said he is eager to see an African-American man such as Washington appointed as dean of the College of Engineering.

“There are very few African-American professors at UNM,” Carreathers said. “I’d like to see if Dr. Washington could help, if

appointed, expand the num-ber of black male students in our mathematics and science areas of learning.”

Washington also has a YouTube video that discusses his educational journey as an African-American. He said his philosophy as dean would be to integrate students into the real world, whether they are graduates or undergraduates.

“I don’t look at undergraduate students as being any different than graduate students,” he said. “They are all students, and I want to help them connect the knowledge they learn in the classroom with the real world and make things work for the better.”

Potential Engineering dean emphasizes ‘experimental learning’

UNM Health Sciences Center notified about 1,900 patients that their personal information was compromised by hackers.

The hackers had access to a list containing some personal infor-mation. According to an HSC press release, two computers at an off-site UNM clinic were affected by sophisticated versions of malware.

However, HSC’s IT security sys-tem wasn’t penetrated and neither were electronic medial records, ac-cording to a statement from HSC.

Attacks like this are on the rise, said Sam Giammo, director of HSC’s public affairs.

“If you have followed the na-tional news recently, you know that

we are not alone,” he said. The file contained names and

other personal information for pa-tients who were treated at the facil-ity between 2007 and 2009. The file didn’t contain social security num-bers or credit card information, ac-cording to the press release.

Giammo said he couldn’t recall any other malware attacks similar to this one at the HSC.

A letter was sent out Feb. 24 no-tifying the patients affected by this hacker attack.

“We determined it would be appropriate for us to disclose this event to patients whose names were in the file,” the press release said.

Patient information on the computers has been removed and the two affected computers are no

longer in use. “The information has now been

secured,” the press release said.An IT security association, of

which HSC is a member, advised HSC of the malware attack Feb. 8, even though it wasn’t known if HSC was the intended target.

There are more than 10 UNM off-site clinics.

HSC representatives said a de-tailed analysis of the cyber attack was completed, but couldn’t find if the file was harvested for its data.

“We will continue to take steps to secure computers from these types of problems,” the press re-lease said. “The HSC works every day to ensure the privacy and con-fidentiality of the patient health information it maintains on its IT systems.”

Hackers penetrate HSC database

Though TCU never led again, it didn’t mean the Lobos were out of the woods. The Horned Frogs hung around, never trailing by more than 11 points and pulling to within four with a minute remaining.

If nothing else, Lobo fans who were stagnant in the first half of the game helped UNM prevail in the sec-ond half.

When the fans didn’t stand, the Lobos prompted them to. With 11:22 left in the game, assistant coach Craig Neil stood in front of the UNM bench

waving his arms.And in the midst of the game,

Hobson ran down the floor, eyeing the crowd and signaling for them to rise.

“They were so loud several times during the game and after the game,” Martinez said. “It is truly a privilege to play here. It is more than just cham-pionships. We play for the state of New Mexico, and that is what makes us different than a lot of teams in the nation. We represent more than just basketball.”

Now the Lobos will look to do that in the MWC Tournament.

For the time being, though, Marti-nez said he will take some time to soak in Wednesday’s electric atmosphere.

“I think tonight we are going to take advantage and have a little fun and look back and see what we have done,” he said. “But Friday we are back in the grind. We want to be a special team. We want to do more than be a good team. So we want to go out and prove to the nation that we can compete at a high level.”

Contrary to what was printed in “Anticlimactic Season Closer after Intense Win vs. BYU,” Alford shared some words with BYU’s Jonathan Tavernari, not Jimmer Fredette. The error was made in reporting.

I am not religious. At times, I’ve wished I was. I always hear people talking about re-ligion in a way that elevates it as one of the more important things in life. But so far, God’s great glory has never fallen upon my face. And I wonder, why? So many people are devout about something. People have such reverent emotions and thoughts about the world, and I, for the most part, have been completely left out.

My mom was Catholic when she was younger and is now a Unitarian (sort of), and my dad is Jew-ish. Realistically, that is proba-bly why I don’t have an interest in religion. As much as I would like to think that my parents don’t, and didn’t, have a heavy in� uence on the way I think, their lack of religious fervor is most likely why I lack knowing the Holy Spir-it. But they were far from closed to religious ideas and even tried to get me to go to di� er-ent kinds of churches throughout my life. I just thought the concept was silly. God never made sense to me.

I remember as a 6-year-old explaining to my mom that I didn’t want to go to church, be-cause the concept of God, in general, seemed unrealistic.

As I got older and the ceremonies of adult-hood came around the corner, I felt a need to at least try to gain some religious experience. I started going to the temple every Friday to see what I could get out of it. After a few months of this, I decided that religion really wasn’t for

me. It diminished my life experience rather than enriching it. I stopped going and didn’t try again. What I did learn about religion is that it’s about two things: community and ceremony.

� ese concepts are what make up religion for a lot of people.

Beyond that, people will subscribe to whatever works with their speci� c cultural as-sociation. We live in a Christian state, more speci� cally a Catholic state. Catholics here have a unique mixture of Spanish, Native and American beliefs.

Tome Hill, a 2,000-year-old local pilgrim-age site, is a great example of what religion means. About the time Christ was born, there were Anasazi “heathens” painting petro-glyphs in honor of the hill. And as religion has evolved, the hill remains the same. � e hill is not a symbol of how much Jesus su� ered, but of how hot magma can get. � e main thing that makes it special for people from 2,000 years ago until today is ceremonial communi-ty acts that take place at the hill, not the actual hill, or what is literally being done on the hill.

If religion were gone, community and cer-emony are the two things people would suf-fer from. Two things that could be replaced by something that doesn’t make you feel guilty for living your life how you please. Something that wouldn’t arbitrarily tell you things are wrong sometimes based on half-truths and other times just based on pure speculation. If people weren’t afraid of leaving religion, would they?

Religion seems to be on every level of ex-planation for natural occurrences that are ei-ther di� cult to describe or almost impossible to prove. Whether it be Zeus or Yahweh, all gods embody something bigger that is natu-ral. A sense of Holy Spirit, as I have heard it described by other people who claim to have felt it, is something obtainable through other means. A sense of spirituality and together-ness with something bigger than my physical form is how I feel when I look at stars. I think there is a higher power in life, not a person with linen robes. Why would God need to be contained in an old white man’s body? Why

does something that everyone attributes to the creation of everything be limited to one person’s idea or perspective of it?

� e concept of religion is something that most people, even religious ones, are aware of the � aws in theological rhetoric. � at is what faith is for — to patch in the places that don’t make sense. But how do you argue or even have a discussion about faith? Faith is solidifying and blind. It has to be, and the true measure of success in religion is your level of faith. � e more ludicrous something seems, and the willingness to accept it, is the test of religion.

� e one thing that empowers religion most is its biggest problem. Religion creates martyrs. Soldiers of God are created through blind acceptance of dogma. What you can’t argue with, most people try to destroy.

A pretty common argument for religion is that without it we would all be filled with sexual deviancy and immorality. The last time I checked, religion never stopped any-one from doing much of anything. Priests molest little boys, and followers around the country, including senators and congrega-tion leaders, do drugs and cheat on their wives. In not being religious, I am not liv-ing a life of “sin.” I don’t steal, lie or cheat. I believe in moral relativism and I still don’t break the majority of the laws out there. A lack of religion doesn’t make people “bad,” just as much as religion doesn’t make peo-ple “good.”

Religion is a tool to control people, and, for the most part, control is voluntarily giv-en. That may be why people are so willing to accept religion in almost any form. People want there to be structure in life outside of the realm that they control. It is reassuring not to go through life alone. But if an adult safety blanket is what religion really boils down to, wouldn’t we be better o� with some-thing else? How many people have to die in the name of God? How many peoples’ lives need to be � lled with shame and guilt before we, as a culture, decide that enough is enough and that the only man in robes dictating our lives resides on the Supreme Court?

In Monday’s “Alford reprimanded for al-tercation with BYU player,” by Ryan Tomari, the Mountain West Conference issued a repri-mand to UNM head basketball coach Steve Al-ford for his involvement in a verbal spat with BYU’s Jonathan Tavernari. Readers at Daily-Lobo.com had a lively debate:

by ‘DO’ Posted Tuesday“Tavernari deserved to be called an a-hole.

He was acting like one.” by ‘James’ Posted Tuesday“Alford did not ever say he apologized to

Tavernari, and no one has ever heard him apologize to Tavernari. He did say he apolo-gized to (BYU head coach Dave) Rose.”

by ‘Also James’ Posted Tuesday“Alford should be smart enough to learn

from Locksley: When you verbally or physi-cally abuse people, make sure not to do it in public, so Paul Krebs, David Schmidly and the Athletics Department cabal can help cover it up.

More great press for our million-dollar UNM coaches. Keep up the positive role-modeling!”

by ‘Kenalum’ Posted Tuesday“So what is UNM going to do? Probably

nothing. I guess having a winning season is more important than laying down guidelines for good behavior. It’s all about the money.”

by ‘And....’ Posted Tuesday“And what about Tavernari? Was he repri-

manded for his unsporting behavior?While the coach should be held to a higher

standard (and clearly this coach has control issues), so should the athletes.

Society pampers these children.”

CULTURE

First Friday: an artsy assortmentby Chris Quintana and Hunter Riley

Daily Lobo

Matrix Fine Art, 3812 Central Ave. S.E., #100-A

Those seeking the abstract need to head to Matrix Fine Art. “Wor-li: Paintings by Kuzana Ogg” fea-tures soft spirals, loose rectangles and bright colors layered atop one another. Owner Regina Held said Ogg’s work often resembles some-thing straight out of India with the lush, sensible and rich colors mix-ing and matching to form paintings that look like silk saris. The paint-ings also tell tales of her grand-mother, who would give mangos to everyone in her neighborhood, despite rules set down by the caste system.

New Grounds Art Print Work-shop and Gallery, 3812 Central

Ave. S.E., #100-BIt’s like children’s stories for

adults, Held said about Ray Mase-man’s etchings. His exhibit, “Fairy Tales: Etchings by Ray Maseman,” features imagery from myths, folk-lore and children’s tales creating art that’s bright, whimsical and hu-morous. The protagonists are usu-ally animals — giraffes, sea horses and penguins engaged in impossi-ble tasks that succeed anyway. But why just look at the etchings when you could be making them your-self? At 6:30 p.m., Maseman pres-ents a 20-minute live demonstra-tion, detailing his etching style for those looking to get into the etch-ing world.

Chroma Studios and Gallery, 600 1st St. N.W.

If you love Twitter, chances

are you would like Twitterscapes. Chroma’s presenting, “Twitter-scapes: Paintings with Twitter” by Carolina C. Blaker. She uses the software code that comes from Twitter. The final product looks like a series of pixilated codes that might be seen on a computer pro-grammer’s screen but engorged with color. “It’s hard for me to de-scribe it to you, because I have never seen anything like this, and I’ve been in the art business for a long, long time,” said Aaron Lew-is, co-owner of the studio. In ad-dition, the rest of her art — latex paintings — features a similar sort of pixilation sensation.

The Normal Gallery, 1415 4th St. S.W.

Those hankering for a bit of old-fashioned goodness should visit The Normal Gallery. The show is a multimedia conglomeration of photography, painting and found photos that have been digitally al-tered, as well as other visual proj-ects set amid antique furniture. Miller said event-goers will travel through the four seasons, starting with January. Local bands Hedia and North America are also play-ing looped cellos and electronic instruments at the show. Dress up in something old and something new.

Continuing Education, 1634 University Blvd. N.E.

If you need a little comedic break from all the art, the Continu-ing Education building is showing the video tour “Friends of Film, Video and Arts.” Friends of Film is a nonprofit organization that shows the work of up-and-coming filmmakers. The show is on Friday

from 6-9 p.m. It includes anima-tion, documentaries, musicals and live-action films from filmmak-ers all over the country. The FoF-VA is promoting their third annual event, “LOL Friends of Film Funny Film Fest.”

New Mexico Tea Bar and Gal-lery, 1131 Mountain Rd. N.W.

Suite 2The art inclined can simulta-

neously soothe their throats with steaming, hot cups of loose-leaf teas. The New Mexico Tea Bar, part of the New Mexico Tea Company, rented the building next door to the Tea Company and is having a grand opening with free live mu-sic, tea, pastries and tea-leaf read-ings on Friday from 5-8 p.m.

“The Tea Bar is going to be ded-icated to one artist every month,” owner David Edwards said. “On Friday, it will be Martin Jarrett.”

Frame City and Gallery, 3810-A Central Ave. S.E.

Pastels priced right are the focus of Frame City’s exhibit for Friday. � e studio features the work of Peg-gy Orbon and Elaine Koehler, both masters of the pastel medium. More importantly, these works don’t fo-cus on landscape you’ve never seen. � ey are all perfectly painted and delicately detailed, featuring New Mexican landscapes, like trees near the Bosque and other Albuquerque locales. Gallery Manager Ti� any Pittman said the pictures must be seen to be truly appreciated. Also, the studio is hosting a live framing demonstration for those interested in learning how a frame is made, and, as an added treat, there will be a ra� e and the winner will get the assembled frame for free.

Do you dress for yourself or for others?

There’s a full-fledged ”Fashion Extravaganza” at the SUB on Fri-day, complete with models, music and food.

Coordinator Dre Curtis, a stu-dent at the School of Architecture, said the show will be a mélange of Albuquerque styles.

“One thing, too, about this fash-ion show — I’m bringing everyone together,” Curtis said. “I’m bring-ing my DJ, Vivitous Sessions mod-els, Samuel S.Q. of Superior Quali-ty Jersey; NMX Sports — they work with children in sports events in the community, Nicole and her skate shop, Silver, and her art gal-lery, Cirq. I am bringing a lot of en-tities like that, people in Albuquer-que who are trying to do something to keep it family based.”

Designer Melisa Hart said this show will be more relaxed than other shows she’s worked in.

“It’s not that we’re not taking it seriously,” she said. “It’s going to be a well put together show, but at the same time, everybody sort of just walked into it like, ‘This is for fun. We’re going to have a good time. We’re going to have a great result.’”

Hart added that she liked work-ing with the college crowd.

“I am actually closer in age to the college crowd than some of the other crowds, so I feel like I relate a little bit better,” she said. “I feel like things are a little more casual and a little more fun.”

The show intertwines elements of skateboarding and fashion, said Curtis, who also manages the local skate team Team Dank.

“It’s going to be the first fashion show that has a skateboard video of my skateboard team playing while the models are walking,” he said. “It’s going to be the first to have an art raffle. I am going to raffle all types of things. It’s going to be the first fashion show at UNM of this capacity, this level of quality.”

And with great quality comes great responsibility. Accordingly, the first act focuses entirely on ed-ucating people about New Mexi-can fashion, Curtis said.

“It’ll show the models’ person-al clothing to show their personal style and how New Mexico college students, or New Mexico models in general, or New Mexico indi-viduals, have their fashion sense,” he said.

Contributor Nicole Montes, owner of Silver Skate Shop, said fashion in Albuquerque tends to be a step behind.

“The fashions kind of get here later than everyone else,” she said. “I like people, like (Curtis), that are out there kind of doing their own

thing, without really caring what’s going on. He definitely ends up being a very fashion-forward type of individual … It’s refreshing to have someone like him, or a hand-ful of people, who are doing things in this town.”

There will be a halftime of sorts with a marching band from Cali-fornia, a pep rally and DJs. Act two features a combination of Team Dank’s skate video projected on the walls, music booming from the sound systems and models strut-ting down the walkway at the same time. It’s a lot to take in, Curtis said, but it works.

“I hope — and I don’t hope for a lot of things in life — but I hope that’s it’s a packed crowd, sold out,” he said. “I hope that every-one goes (and) enjoys their time, because it’s going to be from little kids to the more mature. So I hope that everyone gets the feeling that there’s a young man out there that does care about them, and he wants to see everyone happy. And that’s why he put this fashion show on.”

The Department of Theatre and Dance is UNM’s best-kept secret.

“Meta Morph,” this year’s faculty dance show, will provide a glimpse into what the dance program has to offer, said Donna Jewell, depart-ment head and artistic director.

“There’s a lot of talent in the De-partment of Theatre and Dance,” Jewell said. “These are students who are going to go out and work in New York and L.A. and London. They’re going places, and I really wish the

University knew more about them.”“Meta Morph” has seven stu-

dent performances in ballet, mod-ern, tap, Mexican Folklorico and flamenco, choreographed by guest artists and faculty.

The show starts with Parsons Etude, a modern piece choreo-graphed by David Parsons of Par-sons Dance Company in New York. Jewell said every night features a different Mexican Folklorico dance from eight Mexican provinces.

“So this is really cool. We’re go-ing to kind of go on a journey with that,” she said. “We’re going to be traveling all over Mexico.”

act, É só Isso, choreographed by University of Iowa professor Ar-mando Duarte. Hooper said the piece tells a story of discovery that begins on an individual level and ends with a communal feeling among the dancers.

“In the beginning, there’s this thought of, ‘I’m entering this new world with a connection to other people but with intention of my own.’ So when we enter through the space for the first time … the focus is on how new the place is to each individual,” Hooper said. “In the end, we’re all connected, and there’s so much eye contact and interaction among the dancers in the last section that there’s huge community collectiveness.”

After intermission, Jewell’s own choreography will be featured in a modern piece called 2 Steps Aside. Jewell said she drew inspiration for her choreography from a band she heard after one of her own performances.

“They were three guys from Switzerland called Bubble Beatz, and they were playing trash — oil drums and long PVC pipes that they were playing like didgeri-doos,” Jewell said. “It was jaw-dropping. They were phenomenal. So I bought their CD and I was like, ‘I have to choreograph to this.’”

Following 2 Steps Aside is Nubes Centelladas, a flamenco piece cho-reographed by Eva Encinias-San-doval and set to music by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi.

“What’s interesting here is that mine’s just percussive, percussive, percussive. And then we get to the flamenco piece, which is percus-sive with castanets and footwork, but it’s also melodic through the Vivaldi,” Jewell said. “I think the musical difference between the hard, brash percussion and the symphonic lushness of Vivaldi’s piece is a good contrast.”

Through Your Eyes, a modern piece choreographed by full-time faculty and Brazil native Vladimir Conde Reche, closes the perfor-mance. Vladimir said human di-versity and individuality inspired his choreography.

“There’s a huge space in the piece for the dancers to bring more of their individuality,” Vladi-mir said. “That’s the major thing for me in the choreography — who the dancer is. I want them to be themselves, be naked to what they are and let the audience see them for what they are, for the perfor-mance that they are.”

Although the piece is heavy with meaning, Vladimir said it ends lightly.

“A note that I give to the dancers is that there’s one thing that we do a lot in Brazil — we are not blind to all the things that are wrong and that we don’t like,” Vladimir said. “We see all these injustices, all these discriminations … and we try to change, but we don’t make our lives bitter by dwelling on them. We have a sense of happiness that persists, and that’s how we finish the piece, with that sense of hap-piness permeated in the air.”

Jewell said she chose Through Your Eyes as the closing piece because it epitomizes the end-less transformations that occur throughout the show.

“As the artistic director, I saw his work and went, ‘Okay, great way to close the entire thing.’ For me, that was a pretty obvious choice,” Jewell said. “I had to decide what people are going to leave with. For Vladi-mir’s piece, there’s quite a human journey going on. It reflects all the different journeys and transforma-tions throughout the whole show, and it’s very tangible. It’s some-thing that people can really grasp on to.”

Film folks shortchange mini flicksby Evan Bobrick

Daily Lobo

� e 82nd Annual Academy Awards are quickly approaching, and while main contenders like “Avatar” and “� e Hurt Locker” are basking in the media’s speculative limelight, there are always nomi-nees that slip through the cracks.

Short � lms, in particular, have a tendency to go unnoticed. It’s even di� cult to � nd them on the Inter-net, let alone to see them in a the-ater, before the Oscars have already aired. Tragically, it’s because there is no money to be made in shorts. If you can’t charge full-ticket price for admission, or even the price of a DVD, why bother? But that doesn’t stop them from being the funniest, most personal and artful � lms made today. � e animated shorts nomi-nated this year are no exception.

� e sense of humor in “Gran-ny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty” is particularly charming, perhaps

because it lacks the sentimental-ity that saturates three of the other � lms. � e story shows an old wom-an relating a classic fairy tale to her granddaughter at bedtime. Sim-ple and sweet, right? Truth be told, Granny is a bit of a psychopath. She rants about the stupidity of the young, beautiful fairies and about their cruel mistreatment of the old witch, spinning the story of “Sleep-ing Beauty” into a crazed and hilari-ous tirade. All the while, the poor granddaughter cowers helplessly, and we’re left with her on an e� ec-tive dark � nal note.

Similar in its use of dark humor is the perplexing “Logorama.” Di-rectors François Alaux and Herve de Crecy have created a world made entirely out of recognizable brands and logos, and I mean en-tirely. � e cops are Michelin U.S.A. men. � e pedestrians are made up of little AOL.com and BIC guys, and the trees are straight o� a bottle of Malibu Rum. Unfortunately, this fantastic venue is in� nitely smart-er and more detailed than the sto-ry it contains. Two cops are chasing Ronald McDonald, who is actually some kind of insane criminal, but beyond that there isn’t too much to keep you intrigued. � e last shot, swooping out amid a whole galaxy of logos, is what lingers.

“� e Lady and the Reaper” and “French Roast” are a little less ambitious and a little safer than

“Logorama,” but both are ex-tremely well-executed.

“� e Lady and the Reap-er” chronicles a battle be-tween a doctor and death over the life of an old wom-an. Stylistically, it’s indebt-ed to the chaos and absur-dity of “Looney Tunes.” It is completely ignorant to the laws of physics, and

it moves at a furious pace toward its satisfyingly blunt conclusion. In this way, “French Roast” is its exact opposite — slow, meander-ing, and � rmly grounded in real-ity. A rich man orders a drink in a cafe, but has no money to pay. It’s as simple as that. But the delicacy of it, and especially of the ending (sac-charine though it may be), is really something.

� e best � lm of the � ve is sure-ly Nick Park’s “A Matter of Loaf and Death.” It’s another adventure star-ring Wallace and Gromit, the lovable tea-guzzling idiot and his sarcastic dog. And if you’ve never encoun-tered these two before, this is a good place to start. Park, as always, works entirely with clay, and the results are nothing short of wonderful. � e � lm brims with personality and a kind of love that just isn’t around in most of today’s computer-gen-erated a� airs. Wallace and Gromit are bakers this time around. Unfor-tunately for them, someone in the neighborhood has been killing o� bakers one by one, and I won’t say much more than that. I particularly like how creepy Park’s � lms can be, while simultaneously holding tight to the duo’s humor and sweet sense of kinship. While it may not be the best of Wallace and Gromit’s out-ings, that’s hardly a slight. It’s a joy to watch, and it should win the Os-car, hands down.
