A 'Cuckoo Bananas' Idea

Serial - 7/1/2008

Martin Mull is a little-remembered comedian of the ’70s and ’80s, best known for TV’s Fernwood 2-Night and the HBO series The History of White People in America (with collaborator Fred Willard, since then a fixture in Christopher Guest movies). Mull achieved greatness only with Serial, an underrated mainstream comedy with moments of Albert Brooks-like social satire.



Based on a novel by Cyra McFadden about the wacky California hot-tub culture of the late '70s, Serial expanded on the novel's Marin County setting to skewer the entire decadent nation. Mull plays a working stiff whose wife (Tuesday Weld, in an excellent performance) leaves him to find herself. His teenage daughter joins a cult, and Mull tries to adapt to a single lifestyle while wanting his family back. The supporting characters include a psychologist (Peter Bonerz) who encourages Mull's best friend to drown himself in the Bay to achieve oneness with the universe, and Tom Smothers as a hippie priest who begins a wedding by apologizing for being part of a society that "kills whales."



The film uses these wacky characters to comment on the emptiness of cultural orthodoxy, and I can't think of many films that have done it better. Subsequent ’70s spoofs (The Ice Storm, Boogie Nights, That 70s Show, etc.) have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, but Serial was one of very few films (along with Network, of course) to ridicule the empty self-indulgence of the decade while it was still going on. Though some of its one-liners miss, the film's more pointed observations are often spot on; and even some of the broader gags are well done (like a scene where Mull tiptoes through an orgy).



The ending descends into silliness, and like any film designed to capture a specific time and place, Serial feels dated (especially the opening scenes). Still, Serial deserves a lot of credit for daring to throw sacred cows on the grill. Sure, America has moved onto different fads, and feminism and psychoanalysis are not the unassailable cultural forces they were back then. But beneath the one-liners, Serial is really about the emptiness of narcissism and self-deceit. And Americans are just as self-absorbed, and almost as politically correct as ever, if not more so.



Besides, if those who forget history are doomed to repeat it, then a print of Serial should be preserved in perpetuity along with other '70s artifacts (Styx records, the Jungle Room at Graceland, etc.) to make sure we never forget the Me Decade.

Stones deny label move from EMI

LONDON (Reuters) - The Rolling Stones have played down a weekend report that the band planned to ditch long-term record company EMI to join concert promoter Live Nation.


But industry experts still believe the British group could soon part ways with the label, which was taken private in 2007 and has struggled to keep some of its biggest artists.


"We are not in talks with Live Nation in connection with any record deal," London-based Rolling Stones spokesman Bernard Doherty said on Monday, reading from a brief statement.


EMI was not immediately available for comment.


The Observer weekly newspaper reported on Sunday that the Stones were on the verge of ending their relationship of more than 30 years with EMI and were "close to clinching a deal with Live Nation". It quoted unspecified "sources".


The report also said the band, a hugely successful touring act estimated to have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, would allow Live Nation to market its back catalogue, depriving EMI of about three million pounds ($5.9 million) a year.


Live Nation Inc already has deals with Madonna and Jay-Z, reportedly worth $120 million and $150 million respectively, as artists look beyond traditional recording deals to tap into increasingly lucrative touring and merchandising revenues.


Profits from music sales have been badly dented by online piracy, and record companies are struggling to come up with answers to declining demand for physical CDs.


EMI lost two of its biggest acts in 2007 -- Paul McCartney and Radiohead. The former Beatle struck a deal with coffee retailer Starbucks while Radiohead offered their album "In Rainbows" online in a "pay-what-you-want" scheme. 

David Cook reflects on "Idol" experience

At the beginning of "American Idol [ tickets ]" season seven, Judge Simon Cowell called eventual winner David Cook "cocky" and "pompous." However, during the finale, Cowell did a 180 and dubbed Cook one of the most sincere contestants he's ever met. Cook explained, during a teleconference with journalists Friday (5/23), that he wasn't the one who changed over the eight-month period from auditions until he was crowned the "American Idol" on Wednesday (5/22). "I didn't really change much of anything, as strange as it is," said Cook, 25. "I didn't have any expectations as to what the show was going for do me, or what I was going to do for the show. I went into it as an opportunity to expose myself musically to a large audience. And so my confidence level never really wavered, and maybe that's what got misinterpreted as cocky and arrogant. But I think maybe as the season went on, he saw the work I was putting in--not just to my own stuff--but really to make it a positive working environment for everybody."Cowell's opinion wasn't the only thing that changed during the "American Idol" season. It seemed that each time Cook covered a song, judge Randy Jackson said he should walk in those artists' shoes when recording his debut. But Cook had a simple answer for his debut's expectations. He said he wants to create an album that makes the hair on the back of people's necks stand up. "I'll probably end up putting out a rock record because I feel that's the kind of music that I enjoy playing," Cook said. "But that was the exciting thing about the show--I loved knowing there were things I could do that people would never expect I could do. I'm going to try to recreate that energy within this record. I want people to feel they got taken on a trip from beginning to end. I've got my work cut out for me, but it should be fun."The road from the beginning of Cook's "Idol" trip was one that was meant to be, he said. He didn't plan on auditioning for the show. Instead he was merely accompanying and cheering on his brother, Andrew."He really wanted me to audition with him, and I was just hesitant," Cook said. "Not for any negative association with the show, I just didn't really see this as my path, for whatever reason. But 5:30 in the morning in Omaha, standing in line and it's raining, the sun hasn't come up. And a producer comes by with a camera and interviews my brother and then turns to me. I say, 'I'm not auditioning.' And he says, 'You are now.' Life has a weird way of working itself out sometimes."Cook and this year's other Top 10 finalists will be appearing on the upcoming "American Idols Live [ tickets ]" tour, which gets underway July 1.
