Women’s basketball remains hot, improves record to 5-0
by Ben Warnick
Sports Reporter
The Colby-Sawyer women’s basketball
team continues on their hot streak as they picked
up their first Commonwealth Coast Conference
win of the season 65-58 over Roger Williams.
The win brings the Chargers record to an impressive 5-0 to start the season.
Noelle “Ripper of the Net” Surette maintained her scoring prowess by pouring in a game
high 21 points and nine rebounds for the Chargers. Colby-Sawyer’s Kali “Splash” Coleman
scored a season high 13 points, knocking down
two treys and Emma “Don’t Mess With Me”
Pasquale chipped in with 12 points of her own in
the victory.
“Noelle played great. We were a little bit
short handed when Kayt (Racz) got hurt and it
caused us to change up the rotation. She went
13-16 from the line which was big for us,” said
Head Coach George Martin.
Sophomore guard Kayt “Riz” Racz injured her ankle in the first half of the game. She
is expected to be out of the Chargers lineup until
sometime in January.
The Chargers were able to build a 29-19
lead at half time holding the Hawks to a minuscule 17.6 shooting percentage from the field. “Defensively in the first half we really shut them
down,” said Martin.
The Hawks of Roger Williams did not quit
as they outscored Colby-Sawyer 39-36 in
the second half but were unable to overcome the lead the Chargers had built up.
“They beat us off the dribble in the
second half and they went to the foul line
a lot. They shot 23 free throws in the second half which is too much,” said Martin.
Earlier in the week the Chargers
took on non conference opponent Plymouth State who they defeated by a 6858 score.
The Panthers burst ahead early in
the game leading by as many as eight
points before the Chargers were able to cut
the lead to one point (34-33) at half time.
The Chargers were able to tighten up their
defense holding Plymouth State to shoot
28.2 percent from the field, compared to
the 45.2 percent they shot in the first half.
Colby-Sawyer got big games from
Pasquale and Surette again who scored 26
and 17 points respectively. Pasquale’s 26
points were a season high total for her and
she was also the high scorer in the contest. Surette also tallied nine rebounds and
three blocks while Pasquale added eight
rebounds and five blocked shots.

CSC library undergoes many needed repairs

ANY students at Colby-Sawyer have
probably heard the commotion going
on in the library. The roof of the library
is under repair, and with good reason.
“We had a pipe freeze and break here,”

said librarian Carrie Thomas. “When they were
trying to fix it, they noticed that the wall was
misaligned, so cold air was coming in.”
“The problem was discovered in midsummer,” said Bob Morse, director of facilities.
“The structural integrity of
the roof was breached, and
we had two choices of how
to fix the problem.”
The two choices were to
build extra supports on the
inside, or to take the roof off
and re-do it.
“Obviously to keep the library open during school we
couldn’t just take the roof
off,” said Morse. “We needed
to start work as soon as possible as well, since we didn’t
think that the old building
would be able to support itself all the way through the
winter.”
The project started three

weeks ago, and is expected to last ten weeks. “The
workers have been really good at keeping it as
quiet as possible,” said Thomas. “They work when
the library is not as busy, such as before five and
obviously on breaks.”
“The workers on the project create the
steel structural beams at their workshop off campus to minimize the noise,” said Morse. “The
work should be done over the winter break.”
The construction in the library shows
black, steel beams across the supports that are
already on the walls. The workers will do the
same for the ceiling supports in the first barn,
reinforcing them with the steel beams.
“The workers won’t be working around
finals for the students,” said Thomas. “They also
may try to put up some materials to block as
much sound as possible within the area they’re
working.”
“I’m very impressed with how quiet
they’ve been,” said Thomas. “I hope students feel
the same way: I, at least, have not heard any
complaints.”

HE Colby-Sawyer men’s basketball team
continued their early season slide falling
in their first Commonwealth Coast Conference game to Roger Williams 72-51 Saturday
afternoon in Bristol, Rhode Island. The loss puts
the Chargers record at 1-5 overall and 0-1 within
the CCC and losers in four of the last five games.
Colby-Sawyer only trailed the Hawks 2822 at half time but was unable to contain the
hot shooting of Roger Williams in the second
half being out scored 44-29. In the second half
the Hawks shot 56.5 percent from the floor compared to a cold 29.7 percent by the Chargers.
“We played well defensively, we just didn’t
shoot well,” said center Duncan “Donuts”
Szeliga. The Chargers also struggled to maintain possession of the basketball committing a
total of 20 turnovers compared to only 15 by
Roger Williams.
Tyler “The High Flyer” Fournier led
Colby-Sawyer with 12 points shooting 5-8 from
the floor. Andrew “Loves His” Cousins was the
only other Charger in double figures knocking
down a trio of three pointers on route to 10 points
on the afternoon.
Prior to Saturday’s game the Chargers
had lost three straight non-conference games.
The most recent loss came to the Panthers of
Plymouth State at the New Hampshire Technical Institute Jacob’s Bridge Through Autism Classic by a score of 86-77.
The Panthers built a six point lead at half
time (39-33) and got the lead up to as many as
12 points but the Chargers could not get any

Video I and II classes will present the Fes
tival of Lights on Dec. 14, at 7 p.m. in
Clements Hall of the Curtis L. Ivey Science Center. The event is free and open to the public, and
held in a handicapped-accessible location.
The Video I class features “Colby-Sawyer Insights,” a video news magazine produced
by the class every year, with this year’s being
the 30th edition. This year’s edition is made up
of four features on various campus topics that
are related to the Colby-Sawyer community.
Three of the four short features are five
minutes long and include Colby-Sawyer
College’s new president Tom Galligan, produced
by Christina Metcalf and Angelina Tagliatela,
The superfans of Colby-Sawyer College sports
programs, produced by Ryan Murray and Kayt
Racz, and Individual personalities of the residence halls, produced by Ben Burns and Michelle
Buser. The fourth one is The Chaining (retail
stores) of New London, produced by Brian
Campbell, Mason Jagel and Jillian Whitney and
is seven minutes in length.
The Video II class has spent all semester
working on “Tech-No-Logic,” a feature length
film based on Bill McKibben’s Age of Missing Information. The book takes a look at the effect of
media on Americans. It questions the electronic
media’s subtle, but significant, effect on people’s
consciousness, on the way humans perceive, interpret, and interact with the
natural world.
The producers of the film are Brittany Butterworth, Becky Cohen, Molly
Dunholter, Ashley Goulter, Maddie Lenox,
Liz Luddy, Jacob Marquis, Kristin
McDonald, Jackie Oddo and Anne Walsh.
“In our film we are taking four college students out of their normal technology filled lives and placing them in a powerless campground for a week to do a
school project,” said Cohen, who took part
in writing the script.
“Tech-No-Logic” was filmed
mostly at Camp Coniston in Grantham,
New Hampshire and in classrooms. The
film stars Alex Azodi, Kristina DiGesu,
Mike Gregory, Bonnie Lewis, Jacob Marquis, Hollie Quigley and Tom Wilkins.
“Upon arrival the students meet someone
who is quite content to live in nature and
has little contact with the outside world.
They are uneasy with him at first, but he
soon makes them realize that life with out
technology can be quite entertaining and
enjoyable,” said Cohen.
“Putting together a feature length film is
an exhausting process,” said Goulter. “We
have spent the past four weeks shooting
on location at the camp, on the road and
on campus.”

HEN one thinks of Iran, a few images
that one may be surprised to think of
vast sandy beaches, towering skyscrapers, bustling cities, and ski resorts…yes, there are
ski resorts in Iran.
Ariana Coleman, a first year student, presented to the college community about her
mother’s home country: Persia, or Iran as it is
known today. Ariana has spent many of her
childhood summers with her family in Iran and
wanted to share her experiences with the community.
It is a whole other world, and hearing
Coleman (and her mother) speak about their
family’s roots in Persia was a sure way to open
many people’s eyes about its different culture.
(Persia was changed to Iran only relatively recently, and some of the people who are from that
country prefer to call it Persia because that is
where their history truly comes from.)
Ariana was able to share some of Iran’s
different customs, traditions, and highlights for
her presentation. For women especially, Iran
demands certain customs that are not demanded
from men. A custom that if disregarded could
result in arrest is covering one’s head with a
shawl-like piece of clothing. Women are also

opposed to showing much of their body. Ariana
described the agony of wearing pants, long
sleeves, and a shawl covering her head in the
brutal heat. As children (until the age of nine)
girls are not required to wear a scarf, but
Ariana was truly fascinated by wearing
these scarves. “[When I was a young girl]
I thought I was missing out on something.
It was so different from the United States…it
was a way to be different from western
culture…it was [and is] a statement of individualism. It’s a display of [being] Muslim
from the out and inside” Coleman says.
The dress code in Iran is strictly enforced,

everywhere…literally, everywhere in public places that are positions specifically for
enforcing the code. If one does not abide by
this code she could be warned, and if she is
warned too many times she could be arrested.

ational periods at the beach. There is actually a
curtain-like barrier that cuts the beach in half
and continues out into the salt lake. Ariana’s
mother commented that one would think that
they could spend their money on something
more practical like a cure for cancer. “They go
to such trouble to separate us.” Mrs. Coleman
said during the presentation. As far as showing
certain parts of the body, only until recently was
it not allowed for women to show their feet—
nowadays is it okay to wear sandals.
But there is so much to the country of Iran, from
its bustling capital city of Tahran, to Esfahan
and its beautiful architecture, to the Caspian Sea
(and the delicious local caviar).
If one plans to travel to Iran, Ariana offers these words of advice: “Abide by the dress
code, be careful of what you say about the Iranian government in public, try lots of dishes”
however, she also warns that meat is a large part
of their culture and may not be entirely vegetarian friendly.
“Not many students really know how
beautiful Iran really is” Ariana wanted to show
the college community how the life in Iran really was versus what the public may know from
media coverage. This event was sponsored by
the Cross-Cultural Club.

olby-Sawyer College took part in a worldwide event December 1, helping to raise
awareness about the HIV infection and
AIDS through World Aids Day.
Red ribbons were available in the dining
hall during lunch and dinner to honor those who
suffer from HIV and AIDS as well as for those
who work to educate the world about these diseases.
The AIDS awareness Red ribbon is used
to recognize and honor family, friends, and colleagues who have died from or who are living
with AIDS. The color red resembles the idea of
passion and its connection to
blood. In 2006 alone, 4.5 million people have been newly infected with the HIV virus.
World AIDS Day is an
opportunity for people worldwide
to unite in the fight against HIV
and AIDS.
Safe Zones also held a
mini film festival at night, showing “A Closer Walk” and “Philadelphia.”
“A Closer Walk” is a documentary that provides an indepth look into the AIDS epidemic and the relationship be-
tween health, human rights, and dignity. The
film also stresses the importance of the world as
a whole coming together to fight this disease.
There needs to be a call to action run with compassion and commitment to end what has been
called the worst plaque in human history.
“Philadelphia” follows the life of Andrew
Beckett, a gay lawyer infected with AIDS. He is
fired from his job because his fellow colleagues
believe they are going to contract the disease
from him. After Beckett is fired, he hires a homophobic lawyer to sue his former law firm.
During the court battle, Beckett’s lawyer, Joe
Miller, comes to realize that his client is no different from any other person roaming the streets
of Philadelphia. With his new found realization,
Miller sheds his homophobia and helps Beckett win his
case before AIDS overcomes
Beckett.
Siobhan Cooney, president of Safe Zones, says both
movies were chosen for a
reason. She wanted to show
“A Closer Walk” to show that
the disease affects everyone
and that it’s not just a disease that “happens in Africa,” Cooney says. She also
thought that “Philadelphia”
was a good choice for a
movie because “it’s one that
everybody knows and can relate to,” Cooney said.
According to www.worldaidsday.org, “Around
forty million people are living with HIV throughout the world - and that number increases in
every region every day. In the UK alone, more
than 60,000 people are living with HIV and
more than 7,000 more are diagnosed every year.
Ignorance and prejudice are fuelling the spread
of a preventable disease.”
Another aspect associated with World AIDS Day
is the AIDS quilt. The AIDS quilt was created in
in San Francisco, California by Cleve Jones. The
quilt is composed of 3’ by 3’ panels and then is
assembled in 12’ by 12’ blocks. Each panel is
handmade by friends or relatives of victims of
AIDS. Techniques for making panels are unique,
from patchwork and needlepoint to spray paint
and collages and may include unusual items,
including teddy bears, condoms, wedding rings,
or clothing.
According the www.worldaidsday.org, as of Easter Sunday, the quilt consists of 5,712 blocks and
because of this, it is rarely ever displayed all together. The last time the quilt was displayed together was in 1996 when it was on display at the
National Mall in Washington, D.C.
The quilt is maintained by a non-profit organization in Atlanta, Georgia named the NAMES
Project Foundation. Their goal is to use the quilt
to help foster healing, heighten awareness, and
inspire action in the struggle against AIDS.

Blink 182’s split forms two very different bands
by Seah Ahern
I
Music Review
T feels as if it was only
yesterday when Blink
182 was making us
laugh with their pre-teen
humor and lyrics about
growing up and girls at
rock shows. Since the
break up of said band in
February of 2005 two
new bands have been developed, Angel and Airwaves with Tom De
Longe and (+44) with Travis Barker and Mark
Hoppus.
Of the two new projects, (+44) is the less
whiny of the two. And by “less whiny,” this references the sad and pathetic faux emo that De
Longe and company is making in Angel and Airwaves. When Your Heart Stops Beating is a
strong rock album that blends pop punk themes
with an overall matured musical ability.
Hoppus and Barker are accompanied by
Craig Fairbaugh, ex-guitarist for Lars
Frederiksen and the Bastards and the Trans-
plants, and Shane Gallagher of The Nervous Return on lead guitar. Hoppus stated
that this album refers a lot to the break up
of Blink 182 and the problems that occur
when a band breaks up. Hoppus also has
stated on b182.com that this album, lyrically, is the most personal writing he has
done to this date.
With songs like “Lycanthrope,” “Little
Death,” and “No It Isn’t,” (+44) has a
strong set of songs to work with. The album is started off with “Lycanthrope,” a heavily punk influence song
that is powered by quick guitar riffs
and bass lines while Hoppus and
Fairbaugh harmonize with the lyrics.
“155” and “Cliff Diving” follow the
style of the lead track with heavy guitar followed by strong lyrics and vocals by Hoppus.
The single “No it Isn’t” is an
attack at their former band mate Tom
De Longe, who openly quit the band
in February 2005 after many years of
working alongside Barker and Hoppus. Besides
it very teenage chorus, the song has the strength
to make De Longe yearn for the days of Dude
Ranch and Cheshire Cat. Hoppus starts off the
song with a very harsh and lyrical “go bite me”
towards the breakup of one of the goofiest band
in the last 10 years, (Please understand/This isn’t
just goodbye/This is I can’t stand you/This is
where the road crashed into the ocean/And rises
all around me/And now we’re barely breathing/
A thousand faces we’ll choose to ignore).
(+44) is a new direction for Barker
and Hoppus, a very new and intricate direction for these two
former members of Blink 182.
Mixing pop punk with electronica
and the inevitable musical maturity musicians tend to acquire,
When Your Heart Stops Beating
is a strong studio rock album that
has convinced at least one old
Blink 182 fan that this is growing
up.

Hello Nurse incorporates 1970s music into their new EP
by Seah Ahern
Music Review
H
ELLO Nurse is a pop rock band from New
York City whose newest EP,
Chorusaurus, mixes the sound of 70’s
punk via Television-esque guitar riffs and the
more modern sound of Weezer and Franz
Ferdinand. Hello Nurse takes the New York rock
scene by storm as it reinvents the
sound of rock.
Hello Nurse is a mix of
strong vocals by lead singer Mike
Garcia that are paired with drums
commanded by Christian Sparling,
bassist Joe Crespo, and guitar riffs
from Ed Gross. The lead track “Last
One to Know” is built on great vocal harmonies and quick bass lines
while Gross’ guitar wails behind
hard drums. “Words like Bullets,”
sounds a lot like early Alkaline Trio as the guitar
rushes to get the underlying beat of the song out.
Songs like “We’ve Got Tonight” and “Target
Practice” sound like Rivers Cuomo or Chris
Carrabba on steroids that were administered by
OK Go.
The production value of this EP is really
good; engineering of the EP was done by Serious Business Productions, whose co-founder is
Andy Ross of OK Go, it should then come as no
surprise that the sound is
finely tuned, tweaked, polished, and reminiscent of OK
Go and their own quirky style.
Hello Nurse has put out
and
awesome
EP,
Chorusaurus is a great recording that is destined to
help them get recognition in
the college radio world. With
a lead track like “Last One to
Know,” and back up songs

Semester updates from WSCS 90.9FM
As this semester comes to a close, the Colby-Sawyer radio station WSCS begins to shut down for
the semester as well. The station saw several new
additions to the programming this year. The station Advisor, Hester Fuller, put together a new
Radio Practicum class for eboard members,
which included the recording of several new
shows such as Bert Yarborough’s show the
Killmanwork Project and Information Resources’ computer savvy show Info Beat, as well
as several others. In
addition to these prerecorded shows, several freshmen joined
WSCS. Their hard
work and dedication
to their positions
gave the station a
fresh set of programming and a va-
riety of sounds. WSCS will be going off air December 15th and returning to the air waves after
Christmas Break in January. Though the station will be off air, the radio club plans to cosponsor upcoming events. WSCS will be cosponsoring the showing of Clerks and Clerks II in
Wheeler Hall on December 17th. A big thank you
goes out to all DJ’s new and old and to all of our
listeners. Eboard elections will be held in the following weeks. All those interested in a position
on eboard or interested in hosting a show next
semester can contact Hester Fuller at

Tribute to Corey J. Worsham
by abigail young
Staff Reporter
Colin Bellavance, ‘09
Being a senior at a small school like
Colby-Sawyer College, I’m going to admit that
it’s shameful that I don’t even know who the
Sophomore Class President is. Luckily for me,
Colin Bellavance, President of the sophomore
class, took a few minutes out of his busy day to
introduce me.
Along with the politics that he has to deal
with as President, Bellavance is also an avid soccer player. Bellavance started his sports career
playing soccer at two years old, and currently
holds a spot on the men’s soccer team. Soccer is
not the only sport that Bellavance excels at, however. As a child he grew up skiing since he lived
at the base of a mountain in Vermont and it was
a popular pastime. For the last eleven years he
has changed his winter sport focus to
snowboarding. Bellavance expressed his impatience about the lack of snow and the mountain’s
late opening date this year.
Bellavance is also very musically inclined.
He loves to listen to it and has eclectic taste and
listens to everything. Bellavance also plays piano and the guitar, and enjoys jamming out with
friends. One of his favorite classes taken at ColbySawyer was music appreciation. He liked studying all types of music, and sometimes the teacher
would jam out on the piano during class.
Bellavance had several of
these things in common with his
good friend and teammate Corey
J. Worsham. The first time
Bellavance and Worsham met
was during preseason of their
freshmen year. They lived in
Danforth during those preseason
weeks and Bellavance says they
“had a blast.” Since the lobby of
Danforth boasts a piano,
Bellavance and Worsham would
often “jam out on the piano” together.
Bellavance describes Worsham as a great
kid who loved his friends and family, music, and
snowboarding. “That was like his main thing,
riding the powder,” Bellavance recounts how
much Worsham put his all into everything he
enjoyed. With soccer, Worsham was often called
“The Warthog” because he “was a beast on the
field. He had the heart of a lion,” and played very
intensely. Bellavance said that after the accident

last year Worsham strived to make every day
worth it and lived life to its fullest. “That was
something I took away from Corey.”

Doug Currie, ‘09
Doug Currie is a sophomore business major who also participates on the Men’s Soccer
Team. Currie is a seasoned soccer player, having been in practice since the age of five. However even more of his years have been devoted
to skiing, having done so since he was only a
toddling two year old. Last year he was on the
Ski Team as well but this year he has decided
it’s too time consuming, especially since he can
go skiing everyday anyways without being on
the team.
Even though Currie admittedly “looks
forwards to the nightlife” the school has to
offer, he still devotes a lot of time to his studies. This semester he is juggling four business
classes and an elective. He is looking forward
to next semester when he won’t be taking four
at once, even though he enjoys some of them.
His favorite business class is management
with Professor Elizabeth Crockford. “She’s a
good teacher. [She’s] hands-on and gets you
involved in class so you know what you’re

talking about.” Currie’s senior year is shaping
up to be a good one, since he is saving all of his
electives for then.
Currie met Corey J. Worsham on the first
day of preseason last year. Currie sums up his
feeling about Worsham neatly: “I guess he’s just
one of those kids you never really realize how
good of a person and friend he was until he’s
gone. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say anything negative about anyone, he was just overall a great individual, friend, and teammate.”
Holly Latulip, ‘07
Being a senior nursing major at ColbySawyer College can be a very time consuming
and demanding feat. Holly Latulip is juggling
the requirements of her major with seasonal
sports such as playing on the rugby team and
winter skiing and snowboarding. She also makes
time for the Nurse’s Association as well as working in the Admissions Office. You would think
after this she wouldn’t have a lot of time left to
socialize. Not true! Latulip maintains many
friendships and is a very friendly, outgoing social person.
When Latulip met Corey J. Worsham for
the first time, it was at the 2006 Spring Formal.
She and Worsham started dancing and became
very close friends over time. This year Worsham
could often be found in Latulip’s apartment in
Rooke, eating or hanging out. “He hated the rot
so we’d make dinner in my apartment,” Latulip
smiles. In one of Latulip’s fondest dinner memories with Worsham, they purchased a frozen lasagna from a deli in nearby Newport and left it
out to thaw. Several hours later, they assumed
the dish would be defrosted so they could cook
it. Alas, the lasagna was still mighty frozen, but
they popped it into the oven to cook anyways.
“It took around three hours to cook, we ate dinner at like nine o’clock that night,” said Latulip.
While the lasagna was taking its sweet time to
cook, several of the hopeful diners became a little
upset with the unexpected hours of cooking. Not
Worsham! “Corey was smiling, saying it was
okay. He was good at making things ok.”
Worsham was never a good liar according to Latulip. “Corey wasn’t a very good liar, he
was truthful in everything he did, even if he was
proud of it or not. He was very honest with
people,” she said, smiling.

Features Reporter
HE reinvention of an icon has been the re
action to the new Bond film “Casino
Royale.” Royale is based on the first book
of the series written by Ian Flemming. Royale
features a new Bond, as well as a cast of villain
more diabolical then ever.
The strength of the Casino Royale was
its biggest weakness at initial viewing. Casino
Royale is a new breed of Bond films, Daniel Craig,
brings a physical, human side to the clean cut
coldness generally associated with 007. Craig
lacks the swagger of a Bond yet is able to convey
enough of the Bond traits that the transition from
tall dark and handsome to blonde and blue is
seamless.
As the film opens we see Bond (Craig)
in a black and white scene getting the kills required to become a 00. It is immediately evident that this bond is not afraid to get his hands
dirty, as he brutally strangles and drowns a top
operative in the toilet. The second distinct difference is the way Craig’s Bond is with the ladies, he is considerably less detached and actually becomes infatuated with a woman, something we would never see of from the likes of
Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan. The qualities

Entering

that bond displays can only
truly be appreciated from the
perspective of “a
new Bond.”
All these
flaws add up to
make bond the
ruthless killer
that he has become known as
today. The film
does not attempt to set itself as a prequel
to all the other films in the series, and in fact
takes place in modern times. Yet it very effectively defines the fledgling moments of this soon
to be international spy extraordinaire.

Will Ferrell’s talent shines bright in Stranger Than Fiction
by Ryan Sherwood
W
Movie Reviewer
OW. Do you see what Will Ferrell is ca
pable of, what he can do when he is
given the chance? When he is allowed
to create a real character and is not simply exploited? There is a scene in Stranger Than Fiction where Ferrell plays the guitar for the girl he
loves. He stinks, and in a Ferrell comedy, you
would expect this to be played for an easy, empty,
embarrassing laugh. But here, it’s a sweet moment and it’s no wonder she kisses him.
This film took me completely by surprise.
I was not expecting greatness, and maybe greatness isn’t what I got exactly, but Fiction’s shy
charm would have been lost in a more ambitious movie. A great comedy makes you laugh,
but maybe it’s a different kind of comedy that
makes you really smile. And anyway, I laughed
more here than I did during Borat, the movie
that came billed as the “funniest of all time.”
Emma Thompson plays Kay Eiffel, the
author of several decades’ worth of dark, intellectual urban fiction. She has been writing her
next novel, Death and Taxes, for nearly ten
years. It’s about Harold Crick, a lonely IRS agent
whose cage is sprung when he falls in love with
a client. Eiffel knows that Crick, like all her protagonists, will die in the end, but she’s having
trouble killing him off. She’s blocked up. The
publishers, fed up, dispatch an assistant (Queen
Latifa) to help get things going; when the poor
woman arrives at the office on her first day, she
finds the tortured Eiffel perched atop a chair with
her arms stretched out, wondering aloud what
it must take to get someone to jump off a building.
Death and Taxes reminded me of Susan Sontag’s
awful Death Kit, the apex of dark, intellectual
urban fiction, which tells of a poor office drone’s
slow descent into madness and suicide (as I recall, that book was written in third-person omniscient, in the present tense). Eiffel’s writing
isn’t quite that bad,
but if Taxes is her
supposed manifesto
then she’s an overrated cult favorite
at best.
The twist of the
movie, of course, is
that the character
of Harold Crick actually exists, not in
some kind of alternate universe but
in the real world, in
the same city as
Kay herself. Kay
got
everything
right – Crick
(Ferrell) is a dull
tax man living a
pathetic table-forone life. He has no
family, friends, or
pets. He hates his
job, yet he hasn’t taken a vacation in years. The
only thing interesting about Harold is his insane
skill with numbers, and the only time anyone
talks to him at work is to ask him to crunch some
impossible equation.
One Wednesday morning, Harold begins hears
a voice, a woman’s voice, narrating his life
(“Harold always tied his neckties with a single
Windsor knot…”). Is it coming from his toothbrush? His showerhead? He ignores it, but it follows him out the door and all the way to work.
No one else seems to hear it. He sees a shrink;
she insists he has schizophrenia, but he insists
he doesn’t. “The voice isn’t telling me to do anything,” he explains, “It’s telling me what I’ve already done. With a better vocabulary.”
Harold is referred to Jules Hilbert (Dustin
Hoffman), a literature professor, a tetchy old know-itall, who concludes that
Harold is obviously the main
character in some kind of
story, and the voice he’s hearing belongs to the author. The
first step, says Hilbert, is to
find out whether Harold is
staring in a comedy or a tragedy. If it’s a tragedy, it’s likely
he’ll end up dead. If it’s a comedy, he’ll find love.
Sure enough, Harold falls for
a baker (a punk rock baker)
who he’s auditing. Ms. Pascal (Maggie Gyllenhaal) hates
his guts, but Hilbert assures
him that’s a natural part of
the plot.
For the next few weeks
Harold is plagued by the
voice; as it gently mocks him,
a lid is peeled off and he realizes he’s been living in a rut for years. He starts
to break down his walls - he treats himself to the
movies, he buys an electric guitar. He brings
flowers to the baker and wins her over. Harold
is finally living his life when, at the bus stop one
day, the voice predicts his imminent death. How
imminent? It doesn’t specify.
In the last act, Hilbert and Crick at last narrow
the list of prospective narrators down to one Kay Eiffel - and Harold must plead with her to
spare him.
Now, the fantasy element is never logically explained. Why does Harold hear Eiffel? And is the
accuracy of the narration a coincidence, or is
the voice actually controlling his destiny? These
questions are not answered; this movie’s agenda
is not science fiction. It has more to offer. Bright
human comedy. Ideas. Insight. Thrown
together in this mess Harold and Kay
are both suddenly unsure of their responsibilities; Harold feels he owes it to
himself to live happily ever after with
Ms. Pascal. Kay feels she owes it to herself to write a great book with a perfect,
tragic ending. These are two poor souls
who, despite their undeniable gifts, are
unhappy in work and in life. Notice how
her office is as bare and miserable as his
apartment.
While it all ends reasonable well, there
are dark shadows left unaltered. After
the movie’s over, can we really trust
these characters to keep themselves
happy, to keep their promises? And just
how many other people has Key Eiffel
murdered?
