T HOMPSON Countless essays and theses have b een written about Orson Wells' "Citizen Kane." Many filmmakers and critics consider it the best movie ever made. Yet, at almost 70-years-old, one may wonder if it still has the same potency. I find that many people have not seen the film, even though they are aware of its reputation. This raises the question of if it has lost impact since aging. Before people p ass judgment on the film, they should at least first see the film. Sadly, p art of the reason people hesitate to see "Citizen K ane" is because they are hung up on the fact that it is so old and in black and white. O ur generation is miss- OPINION Potency of Citizen Kane KjruyiKJiy ing brilliant films because they cannot get around the f act that they are in black and white. "Citizen K ane" has lost appeal to most youth, besides those passionate about films. This is because they may not understand the art and significance of the film. Director Orson Wells revolutionized the industry with this film. First, the storyline of the film advanced the uses of narrative elements in a film. The non-linear story has bearings on all the films before it. Examples of movies using such intelligent narrative elements are rare. A s well, cinematography was highly influenced by Wells. This film did for movies what The Beatles did for popular music. "Citizen K ane" took the daring first step and masterfully used specially angled shots, f raming, and r eframing. T H E PRIDE The only way t o appreciate f ully the film is to consider and see movies made before and a fter it. Wells was ahead of his t ime and the repercussions his work are seen in modern films. Yet, now most people fail t o notice his contribution and see "Citizen K ane " Viewers should forget that it is black and white, old, and h as a great amount of pretension attached to it. It is highly engaging in both narrative and style. Everyone should see t his film. Image courtesy of einestages. Spiegel, de I 'll take it as a challenge This isn't political g roups.

The scenery with the limestone karsts or "jade hairpin mountains" as the Chinese call them are only p art of the mystical nature of this area. For along with the magnificent scenery, there is a subversive sense of calm. And while in Guilin this past June I experienced a feeling, rather a necessity to quiet myself so as not disturb the underlying reverent spirit of the region. Located in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi, about a three hour flight from Shanghai, Guilin is one of China's most prosperous cities and is considered one of China's star attractions. Driving around the area of Guilin is like taking a step into the past. Villages consist of homes that appear to be centuries old, water buffalo roam the area and often walk in herds on the road blocking traffic. Rice farmers out on the paddies plowing through the mud behind a water b uffalo have an eerily historical feature to them as their image mimics the exact posture in the thousands of p aintings c re- ated in the past of farmers performing the same task centuries ago. The mystical awe of Guilin is not j ust a personal feeling. There is truly a sense of the spiritual here on a social level. At the Reed Flute Cave, outside the city of Guilin, our guide told us a story about how men used to carve the reeds growing in the area into flutes and played songs to call out the fairies from the cave. The cave itself is an attraction that cannot be missed. Not only do the Chinese strategically light the inside of the cave to highlight the fantastic stone creations in brilliant colors, they also provide creative names to each stone feature, such as the Crystal Palace, Dragon Pagoda, the Lion, and the Turtle and include fairy tales as well. The lighting, the names and the stories all add to the mystery §f the cave. An underground lake in the cave spurred a western story in my mind. The still lake reflecting the ceiling of the cave like a mirror in the near dark, took my mind to the scene in J.R.R. Tolkien's book "The Hobbit" where Bilbo Baggins meets Golum and finds Golum's lost ring. At any moment I expected Golum to creep out of the shadows looking for his "precioussss." Of course the main attraction in Guilin is the Li River cruise. The cruise allows visi- karsts closer and view life along the river with roaming water buffalo, fishing cormorants lined up on bamboo docks, fisherman and river vendors rowing around on bamboo rafts. Lasting a total of four hours, the cruise departs Guilin, arrives in Yangshou. Visitors enjoy a view of the karsts which the Chinese have named appropriately for their remarkable images, such as the Elephant Trunk Rock, Snail, Hill, Yearning for Husband Rock as well as the view of the Li River which is on the back of the 20 Yuan bill. A buffet is served on the cruise; however, the crowing point of lunch was the snake wine which waitresses offered guests. In bottles of clear alcohol lay two or three floating, coiled snakes, much like the worm in Mexican tequila. A regional traditional drink after meals, snake wine supposedly also maintains a medicinal quality as well. Those who tried the wine said it tasted like tequila with scales. A fter the cruise we had a short time in Yangshou at the market. Yangshou is a delightful little townsurrounded by equisite scenery and busy streets. I'd that visitors can take bicycle tours of Yangshou, which would provide a wonderful way to connect and appreciate the area. We were given a chance to the Guilin Teacher's University which is one of the foremost art this university to purchase such pieces. The prices are reasonable Photos courtesy ofEllie Yambrach academies of China. A professor demonstrated the creation of a charcoal painting and we were then allowed to view artworks being worked on by students. Afterwards we went to the gallery where we could purchase artworks created by students who graduated and are now considered as artists in their own rite and works painted by the university professors. Anyone interested in traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy, should consider and visitors purchases f und the university directly. Guilin cannot be missed on a trip to China. Although you feel as though you are in Dr. Seussland amongst the fantastic scenery, the tranquil setting inspires visitors to slow down and appreciate their surroundings with a reverence. Note: take an extra battery for your camera while on the cruise, I used mine up within two hours as I could not stop taking photos of everything.

FEATURES THE PRIDE The worst things on the Web From inmate personals to dancing hamsters, the Web has host of thigns that never should have been created BY CRYSTAL EVANS Features Editor Hampsterdance.com Hamsterdance.com is a spinoff of "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and the Web site is home to music by Hampton Hamster and his three friends and band mates. The site features profiles of the four hamsters in the band and has music videos featuring dozens of dancing hamsters. Probably the most disturbing part of this Web site, other than the fact that it exists at all, is the number of people who actually have discussions on the discussion board, which includes discussion threads on various topics including the music, the four hamsters and gossip surrounding Animated dancing and singing hamsters create a website you'll want to forget the band. How is it even possible to have gossip on a band com- prised of animated hamsters? Other features of the Web site include e-cards featuring the hamsters that visitors can send to one another, hamster games and hamster polls where fans can vote on which hamster is their favorite. The site also features a hamster heroes section. The site recognizes John Kerrey as a hamster hero for saving his daughters hamster when it fell into the ocean. It also recognizes firefighter Bob Putney, Jr., not for saving nine people from a blaze in Napa Valley, but for saving the families pet hamster, which required mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. In all, the site is little more than a joke, which only serves to entertain the very young. Be warned, if you decide to visit this site don't forget your earplugs. Ikissyou.org Ikissyou.org is Mahir Cagri's personal Web site. He designed the Web site in 1999 and it became a quick success that, for some unknown reason, still exists.

Women's Soccer, ranked #2, blew out #4 Embry-Riddle 6-0 and then defeated first-seeded Simon-Fraser in a 0-0 tie that would be won 7-6 in penalty kicks to win the championship. 1 "It's playofftime," said CSUSM Head Coach Ron Pulvers, after their most dominant victory of the season over Embry-Riddle.

This piece h as become a tradition in the Bond f ranchise and a film icon. Filmmakers have played with this before, but never outright removed it. This is the first of a few grieves with the average new Bond film. A fter the incredible success of "Casino Royale" in 2006, expectations were high for the next James Bond film. " Quantum of Solace" takes place right a fter the end of "Casino Royale," but there is a definitive drop in the quality between the two. " Quantum" is c ertainly a watchable and e ntertaining action movie. Daniel Craig r eturns as James Bond, whose mission is to track down members of an international organization responsible f or the death of his love, Vesper Lynd, in the previous movie. He walks the fine line of doing h is j ob and exacting revenge. A fter an opening car chase, the action leads to a global race around the world. Along the way, Bond meets Camille, a Bolivian secret agent, played by Olga R urylenko, who has a vengeance plan of her own. Both find they are chasing an environmentalist named Dominic Greene, played by Mathieu A malric, to get what they want. They j oin up to get what they want and stop Greene's devious plan involving oil supplies. There are several inspired moments of this film. First time Bond director, Marc Foster, did a f air j ob. There are two shots involving f alling o ff a bell tower and the other of a motorcycle j ump onto a boat that are awesome. Yet, along the way, the story s tarts tripping over itself. For a very simple story of revenge, the plot is harder to follow than necessary. Viewers can get it the first t ime t hrough if they pay attention, otherwise some may need a second to u nderstand it. The story also s uffered because it was fighting with itself over direction. It kept fighting b etween being a spy drama and an action movie. W hile being an e ntertaining film, it is disappointing " Quantum" did not meet up to the standards of " Casino Royale." It did have the same g ritty intensity and unpredictability. This p erpetuates a tradition in the Bond f ranchise s tarted by Roger Moore. A fter a good first film with a new actor as Bond, the following film is always weaker. " Quantum" missed the mark, but is worth watching. Image courtesy of007.com Winterbraun A cool treat for the ending summer BY JONATHAN E.

Student Spotlight: Grace Riehman CSUSM Visual Performing Arts student photographer BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER A&E Editor Grace Riehman is a Visual and Performing Arts student at CSUM. Her emphasis in the VPA major is on Visual A rt focusing on photography. As a child, Riehman observed the world "differently" and expressed her vision through drawing and writing. Last year when her father gave her an old manual camera, she transitioned her focus to photography. Riehman's uses extreme close up photography to, "entice the viewer to really look at each element in the photograph." The closer the image, the more abstract it appears and to Riehman, that is the goal. She says, "I like for people to really think about what it is I'm doing, keep them trying to figure out what they are seeing or witnessing." She is currently scheduled to graduate in the spring of 2009. A fter graduation, Riehman hopes to earn a living through her art and eventually start a non-profit art center for children. In a time where most public schools do not offer art programs Riehman hopes to b e able to establish art centers for young people. Rieh- man says, "My main goal is to give back to the community." Riehman believes that art is important because of its ingenuity and variety. Riehman says, "Nothing is the same for each artist has their own perspective, their own point of view." She shies away f rom using methods to produce her work and looks at photography as a way to, "document her point of view." For Riehman, art is an evolutionary process. It is constantly transforming expression continuing to open up opportunities for new mediums of articulation. She anticipates having a website functioning in the near f uture for people to view her work. Riehman's goal for her artwork is to inspire people to, "slow down and enjoy" her work hoping her viewers will "keep thinking." �A&E Self-Serve frozen yogurt takes over San Marcos THE PRIDE . .. _ In 2 008, f our s elf-serve f rozen y ogurt shops opened w ithin f ive m iles of CSU San M arcos.

Nov. 13,2008 - A very special free screening of the Invisible Children documentary "GO" was open to CSUSM students and the public at the Clark Field house. Sponsored by University Student Union Advisory Board (USUAB), Invisible Children was created by three young filmmakers in 2003 that were inspired to tell the story of the unseen war of northern Uganda and its lethal effects on the children living in the midst of danger and tragedy through film media. The documentary was screened twice throughout the evening and the room was full both times. "Approximately 60 people showed up to the first screening," said David McFarland, a sophomore at CSUSM. McFarland, organized the event and made comfortable accommodations for the students in attendance by providing popcorn and drinks. The documentary "GO" is considered a sequel to the original Invisible Children documentary. "GO" was a reaction of what has happened since the first documentary was produced: it follows the Invisible Children movement that has touched America and shows what is now being done to help the children of northern Uganda. Through the organization called Schools for Schools, "GO" showed how high school teenagers across the country have been raising money and awareness for the Invisible Children cause. Three high school kids, who displayed exceptional leadership for the Invisible Children cause, were given the chance to travel to northern Uganda to help build schools that were lost from the devastating effects of war. "GO" follows the experiences of these teenager on their trip to northern Uganda and how deeply influenced they were by the children they met. "GO" shows the importance of donations and help the children in northern Uganda need, and how much they appreciate the help that they have already received. The Invisible Children sponsors were four full-time volunteers that have been on a 10-week tour across Calif, and parts of Hawaii to visit other college campuses to screen the documentary. By Bill Rhein /Pride Staff Writer "TROPIC THUNDER55 of the four v olunteers. "We are just wrapping up our tour, this is week 10," he continued. The . passion and dedication these young volunteers have for Invisible Children was clearly genuine and seemed to be easily contagious to the audience after viewing the documentary. "What we want for you to get from the film is to believe that you can change the things you want for the world, not just to feel sorry for the kids you see in the movie," said Timmy Harris, another volunteer. The documentary screening not only attracted CSUSM students but also Caileen Brandt, a freshman from Palomar College. "I have such a heart for Africa and I have wanted to go there and help since I was little," said Brandt. She also mentioned that her sister is a resident advisor at the University Village Apartments at CSUSM and has gone to Africa twice. "I would love to be a teacher in eastern Africa, and teach children that really want to learn," said Brandt. Invisible Children has also gained exposure from the help of the Oprah Winfrey show, where the original three filmmakers were guests. Popular bands such as Thrice, Circa Survive and Switchfoot have sponsored Invisible Children's cause. "WALL-E55 GRADE: A ¡This was the best film of the summer of 2008. Disney/Pixar's story about robots, the earth, and space is brilliant for being both entertaining and artful. Thefilmalso has timely message, but is not overly imposing.
