'The Schwarzenegger Trilogy': An Interview With The Creators Of The Film Arnold's Watching Right Now
From The Rock to Vin Diesel, none of our modern-day musclemen have quite pulled off the Schwarzenegger binary. As big as Arnold was, he was practically asexual, a cop wholesome enough to teach kindergartners if he had to (Dwayne Johnson as a hockey-playing tooth-fairy is a distant second). Which is why we so love the nostalgic glory of The Schwarzenegger Trilogy, a 1,600-frame animated film made on commission by L.A.-based animators Harry McGowan and Jimmy Thompson for the Standard Hotel's short film festival, (and which Arnold is watching right now).
Drawn entirely in highlighter and black pen, the Trilogy's part one (aptly titled "5 4 3 2") tackles Arnold's explosions, part two, "Galleria," recreates the "Terminator" scene when John Connor meets the Terminator and part three, "come on...get down," re-cuts famous Arnold lines into a pseudo-rap. There's none of the philanderer here, or the lousy governor. This is Arnold in his prime -- half-robot,...

"With all due respect to his excellence," says Douglas Turner Ward, "audiences think that black theatre is August Wilson. That irks me when people feel there is only one black view, one black style, one black spokesman. There is a breadth of black writing." Indeed, from the time Ward co-founded the Negro Ensemble Company in 1967, his mission has been to demonstrate how wide and varied that vision is. In its first 15 years, NEC produced such diverse playwrights as Lonnie Elder, Charles Fuller, and Leslie Lee; the company and its productions have won two Tony Awards and several Obies. To honor the company's contribution to American theatre, Off-Broadway's Signature Theatre Company is devoting its 2008-09 season to several of NEC's best-known works, including Lee's The First Breeze of Summer, Fuller's Zooman and the Sign, and Samm-Art Williams' Home. There will also be a staged reading of Ward's Day of Absence...
