Hannibal Lecter grew tiresome the second and third times Anthony Hopkins played him as a full-blown psychopath in all his seasoned, insa-tiable glory.

Young Hannibal, as played by Gas-pard Ulliel in the ponderously silly “Hannibal Rising,” is a green, boyish, bland pup by comparison.

Watching the earnest but under-qualified Ulliel perpetrate Hannibal’s initial grisly slayings is like going back in time to hear the screeches of a vio-lin virtuoso’s incipient swipes on the strings the first time he picks up the instrument.

“Young Hannibal” chronicles the early years of Lecter, the serial killer masterfully played by Hopkins in

“The Silence of the Lambs,” a role he reprised to considerably lesser effect in the sequel “Hannibal” and the prequel “Red Dragon.”

Author Thomas Harris, for the first time writing the screenplay for one of his Lecter tales, expands on some brief reflections of Hannibal’s childhood in an earlier novel to offer the full back story of how a bright-eyed boy becomes a cannibalistic monster.

The story opens in Lithuania in 1944, where Hannibal, sister Mischa and their parents are trying to ride out the last gasps of World War II.

Caught between the Soviet ad-vance and the final savagery of local Nazi sympathizers, Hannibal winds up orphaned and emotionally shattered by an atrocity involving his adorable baby sister.

Harris and director Peter Webber, making a gruesome U-turn from his quiet, artful “Girl With a Pearl Earring,” gloss over Hannibal’s early teen years in a Soviet or-phanage and his escape to the West, clunkily transplant-ing him in an instant to the bosom of his beautiful aunt, Lady Murasaki (Gong Li), in France.

Han-nibal gets lessons from his aunt in Oriental warrior tra-ditions and as a young medical student gets to play with cadavers, both pas-times that will serve

him well in his future hobby as carver and consumer of human flesh.

Early on, there are traces of wicked humor and insight into Hannibal’s bestial development, but “Hannibal Rising” quickly tumbles our vicious protagonist into carnal, vengeful butchery merely to satisfy his - and the filmmakers’ - bloodlust.

Hannibal embarks on a reign of revenge involving a local butcher who insulted his aunt and then on the brute (Rhys Ifans) and his hench-men responsible for his sister’s horrible fate.

It’s savage, visceral - and kind of boring. Nothing Hannibal does, inter-nally or externally, is terribly interest-ing, and Ulliel’s lightweight presence doesn’t help.

Ulliel is best-known to U.S. audi-ences as Audrey Tautou’s missing lover in “A Very Long Engagement,” where the actor’s boyishness served the story well.

As diabolical iceman Lecter, Ulliel’s fresh-faced bloodlust is often farcically grotesque.

Gong is typically grand as Mura-saki, though realizing the demon her nephew’s becoming, her character’s attachment toward Hannibal is in-comprehensible.

Dominic West adds a fine sup-porting role as a French detective on Hannibal’s trail, yet his character’s passivity toward his quarry also is puzzling.

The real trouble is with Harris’ story, which asks the audience to embrace Hannibal as a sort of hero and victim whose terrible actions are justified because of his childhood trauma.

Hannibal’s a far more engaging character as he appears in “Silence of the Lambs,” a devil without a past, a mythic creature born with the canni-bal chromosome, a monster who just is, not one that needs to be explained away.

Like that violin virtuoso scratching tunelessly on the strings, Hannibal Lecter had to start somewhere. Doesn’t mean we want to sit through his grade-school debut recital, though.

NEW YORK (AP) - It must be red-carpet day at New York Fashion Week.

The collections presented Thurs-day by J. Mendel and Badgley Mischka were among the most glamorous to grace the catwalks at the fall previews so far, while Vera Wang’s show was the epitome of chic and sophisticated.

Don’t be surprised if some of the gowns, especially Badgley Mischka’s platinum lame and crystal gown or J. Mendel’s stone-colored satin gown with a sexy cowl back and a mermaid hem, turn up on an A-list star some-time in the very near future.

Wang’s finale black sequin dress with a silver beaded medallion at the bust and a floating tulle train is for a very cool customer.

Fashion Week is entering its home-stretch, ending Friday, but several top designers, including Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan, have yet to take their turn on the runway.

Vera Wang: The Russian influence was again evident in Vera Wang’s ul-trachic show, but instead of focusing solely on the opulence of the czarinas, Wang also noted the military presence, the dignified peasants and avant-garde artists.

“Life during this time represented a turbulent mix of incredible extremes, not to mention the impossible extrav-agance of the Romanov court,” Wang said in her notes.

Want to see all that in a single out-fit? How about a gray velvet sleeveless fencing vest with a padded peplum lining and a black pleated chiffon overlay, worn with a gray chiffon straight skirt with chrome sequin details.

It was a look made for the runway, full of drama and great photo poten-tial.

A more wearable look, however, was an oversized gray wool turtleneck, a charcoal collarless mink coat and a wool gabardine high-waist skirt.

Among the best looks overall were a dark-green printed top with a pleated

neck and a jeweled jacquard straight skirt with a padded hem, and an em-broidered and padded shift dress in a black-brown taffeta with a military collar and heavy navy wool belt.

However, all the padding might be unflattering on women whose figures don’t exactly line up with models.

Badgley Mischka: The Badgley Mischka dresses put into fabric a feel-ing that editors and retailers in the front row have been talking about all week - it’s a season of change.

The favored silhouette moves away from volume and becomes more fit-ted, but it’s not a seismic shift to an ultra-slim body, either.

One beautiful smoky-gray gown had a jeweled halter neck and a form-fitting bodice but then flowed grace-fully from a yoke at the knee.

And a sophisticated cocktail dress combined a tight claret-colored sheath with a billowy sheer black overlay.

In their daywear, Mark Badgley and James Mischka emphasized the trend of using menswear fabrics for feminine shapes.

Glamorous gowns debut on Fashion Week runways

This is the kind of sleazy display of power you can drag your girl-friend to and not even have to buy her a thing for that capitalist crock of garbage we call Valentine’s Day.

This opera was written when romance still had class.

The sublime union of “Cosi Fan Tutte,” the opera held by Meadows School of the Arts is showing this weekend only.

Not even Sigmund Freud under-stood women. This was the case 300 years ago, as Mozart proudly displays.

The story unfolds as you might expect it would. Two men, ardently faithful to their women, take a bet out of spite to prove a jaded old man wrong. However, through his evil ways and sly cunning, old Alfonso works magic through the housemaid to bring the women to the edge of sanity.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, anyone who has a significant other of the opposite or same sex can relate to some part of Cosi. The story revolves, as they usually do, around two women who can’t seem to make up their minds. On one hand, they have their bold fiancés in uniform, off to war against a foreign foe. At home, they

have two dangerously strange guests, actually their hus-bands in disguise, testing them at the will of a conniving, elder gentleman for a wager of sizeable wealth.

That doesn’t happen to everyone, but then again, its also pretty rare to find a guy who will take a bet on testing the emotions of his betrothed.

If that’s not enough, you get a whole gaggle of busty broads and men in uniform, capering around, yelling their heads off to some damn fine music.

But it’s not yelling, it’s opera. The resonating baritones of the men drill your gut and sopranos strike like a slap in the face. When all five characters of the main cast sing in uni-son, the effect is hypnotic. Throw in the explosion of color and costume, and the whole thing swirls into a dream-like trance inducing bliss worthy of an Oscar if someone would just go out and buy a damned camcorder.

Seriously, think Prince at the Super Bowl halftime show with a lower budget and more girls. I’m not kidding.

Most people around here are idiots, and would much rather spend their early Friday nights pre-partying before heading off to freshmen crowded Homebar. That’s why Meadows will bear its talented bust not once, but three times. Both Friday and Saturday shows go on at 8 p.m., while the Sunday “I’ve got a hangover and need a dark place to relax” matinee begins at noon.

Throughout the month of October, members of the University Times have been taking random samples of the student body’s vote on favorite Halloween candy. The favorite candy competition began with 16 competitors in the first round of the bracket. Then each week a poll was taken for what candy should move on to the next

stage. The Final Four resulted in Snickers versus M&M’s and Tootsie roll Pops versus Skittles. In the end, M&Ms

pulled ahead with only a few votes. M&Ms have now been named the official candy favorite of the UNC Charlotte campus.

WASHINGTON — Thelong-awaited Petraeus report toCongress, aimed at providinganswers to the future of Ameri-can policy in Iraq, has insteadleft lawmakers more dividedthan ever.

The two days of testimonyby Gen. David Petraeus andAmbassador Ryan Crocker did-n’t answer the concerns of thoseskeptical about the surge andthe war or bring the two partiescloser together. Most Democratsoppose the administration’s pol-icy while many Republicanshave doubts about the war butappear unlikely to join Democ-rats who want a firm withdraw-al date.

As a result, the future of thewar — and of congressional ac-tion to force a change in U.S.policy — remains as murky asever. Before the Petraeus report,legislators could at least point toit as possibly offering answers.

“There’s nothing else towait for,” said Rep. Ike Skelton,D-Mo., chairman of the House

Armed Services Committee.“What you see is what you get.”

Sen. Richard Lugar of Indi-ana, one of the most respectedRepublicans on foreign policy,said his skepticism about Iraq isas strong as ever — and that hehas no surefire answers.

“In my judgment, some typeof success in Iraq is possible,but as policymakers, we shouldacknowledge that we are facingextraordinarily narrow marginsfor achieving our goals,” Lugar,ranking Republican on the Sen-ate Foreign Relations Commit-tee, told Petraeus at Tuesday’shearing.

And Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., chairman of the SenateForeign Relations Committee,said he’d heard nothing fromthe two witnesses in terms of“leveling with the Americanpeople about when their kidsare going to be coming home.”

Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri,the No. 2 Republican in theHouse and a strong war backer,accused Democrats of “over-playing their hand” by raisingquestions about the reliability ofPetraeus’ information. Blunt

and said the testimony left him“hopeful” about the situation inIraq.

Many Republicans saythey’re torn because while thesurge of U.S. troops has helpedimprove security in some partsof Iraq, it hasn’t led to politicalprogress.

“I think people recognize

the surge has made a difference,but it hasn’t enabled the Iraqigovernment to get its act togeth-er,” said Rep. Ray LaHood, R-Ill.

With this backdrop, there isno clear path ahead for Con-gress. Skelton said he hopesPresident George W. Bush willwork with congressional De-

mocrats to achieve a commonpolicy — but the president hascontinually vowed to veto anymeasures that tie the hands ofmilitary commanders, andBush’s ability to garner thevotes to sustain a veto do notappear to have been lessened bythis week’s events.

“We have to get it done —forget politics,” Skelton said.

Sen. Christopher “Kit”Bond, R-Mo., and vice-chair-man of the Senate IntelligenceCommittee, said he remains astrong backer of the war.

“The new counterinsur-gency strategy to clear, hold andbuild has brought Iraqi citizensto our side in the fight againstal-Qaida and other Islamic ter-rorists,” he said.

This week, Senate MajorityLeader Harry Reid, D-Nev., sig-naled a willingness to listen toall proposals for changing U.S.policy, even those that don’t in-volve setting a deadline fortroop withdrawal.

Among legislative proposalsare measures to order troopwithdrawals to begin this fallbut without a clear end point,

limiting the mission of U.S.troops or demanding that Bushsubmit a new war strategy toCongress.

The relatively upbeat out-look provided by Petraeus andCrocker stands at sharp oddswith the more pessimistic viewspresented by three recent gov-ernment reports — providingfodder for pro-war and anti-warlegislators to use whatever in-formation they choose.

Republicans have accusedDemocrats of seeking politicaladvantage by attacking the inde-pendence of Petraeus.

“It is unfortunate that someare trying to use this candidmilitary evaluation as an oppor-tunity to score political points,”said Rep. Kenny Hulshof, R-Mo.

Skelton said the many hoursof testimony will mean little inthe long run.

“This is the most hyped-upevent in modern years, butwhen history is written thissurge won’t even be a foot-note,” Skelton said. “The hole’sbeen dug and it’s pretty hard tofill the hole back in.”

Homecoming Weekend is coming soon, and there are two members of the University of Arizona Police Department trained a little differently to ensure the event stays safe.

Michael and Jessy, two of the five canines used by UAPD, are actively working on the UA campus and in the surrounding area to help deter crime on all fours.

The other three police dogs work with of-ficers on Mount Graham.

“We use Michael before all of the home football and basketball games and even when dignitaries come and speak,” said UAPD of-ficer Kyle Morrison, Michael’s handler. “Mi-chael is trained solely for bomb detection, so we arrive early before the games to perform bomb sweeps.

For this year’s Homecoming game Nov. 3, UAPD will be doing preventative sweeps be-forehand and will be on standby throughout the event, Morrison said.

“Prior to the end of the game, we do a secondary sweep looking in bushes, trash cans and other places where a device might be hidden,” he said.

Michael and Morrison travel to perform bomb-detection duties for other events, like the Bowl Championship Series college foot-ball game in Glendale between Florida and Ohio State in January, the G8 Economic Conference in Atlanta and the Republican Na-tional Convention, according to the UAPD Web site.

Morrison and Michael comprise the explosive-detection team for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

The ATF gave UAPD Michael, a 5-year-old black Labrador retriever, in 2004, and the team became a model for similar university couplings, Morrison said.

“We were the first university in the nation to be given a dog from ATF,” he said. “Being the first is such a unique opportunity.”

Michael and Morrison train at least three times a week in simulations that keep the dog on his toes.

Michael, along with the other UAPD canines, lives with his handlers when he is not on duty.

Although the UA got Michael for free, most canine units can cost from $2,000-6,000, but officers claim the benefits are worth the investment.

“There is not a more versatile and better tool for locating anything — people, drugs, bombs — than a police dog,” said Cpl. Wade Bolting-house, a handler on Mt. Graham. “There is not a day that goes by that these dogs do not want to come to work.”

With nearly 50,000 individuals on campus, UA students said they think the dogs are a great addition to UAPD.

“I think having the bomb and drug dogs on campus is great,” said Sami Zboray, a pre-nursing freshman. “I’m very sports-oriented, so it’s great to know that a large group of people is protected from bombs. The Homecoming game is coming, and there will be even more people at the stadium, so extra precau-tions are great.”

Elyse Adams, an education sophomore, said she agrees, al-though she has never seen the canine unit on campus.

“It further enforces the fact that the university police are re-ally trying to take care and protect us,” she said.

Senior Scene Editor / Felicia Baskin / [email protected] FRIDAY | AUGUST 31, 20076 STUDENT LIFE | SCENE

As we arrive back on campus, many “get-togethers” occur to celebrate reuniting

with our friends. Much to my disappointment, it is rare to come across vegetable plat-ters or fruit bowls at these events—you are much more likely to find dishes of the usual chips, cookies and candy. While obviously not healthy choices, it is OK to eat these foods once in a while. I may be the writer and creator of Health Beat, but that doesn’t mean I condemn the idea of eat-ing a cupcake, a cookie or some chips every now and then. However, I do believe that that one must be very careful in doing so because it is easy to binge on tasty treats. You may not see an immediate impact on your health and well-being after enjoying something sugary, but it very well could wreak havoc on your waistline in the not-so-distant future.

So what, when and how can you indulge without ending up looking like the Pillsbury Dough Boy?

There is a common belief in the dieting world that when it comes to junk food, it is allowed, as long as it is in “moderation.” In this sense, moderation is refer-ring to the quantity and frequency with which one chooses to have high-calorie foods. I’ll use a doughnut as an example of quantity control. The average dough-nut has 310 calories and 16.5 grams of fat, but a doughnut hole, which is much smaller, has just 65 calories and 3.5 grams of fat. When it comes to the frequency of eating junk food, having a concrete from Ted Drewes or fries from Bear’s Den every once in a while will not ruin your health. It is when a person has a concrete or fries every night that he or she may develop problems. So what is a healthy portion and how often can you eat these treats?

Appropriate portion size of different types of junk food can be determined by the calorie content of each food. For example, seven tortilla chips have more calories than fifteen mini

pretzels. Every food differs in fat, carbohydrate, sugar and calorie content, and all are important components in determining the relative “healthiness” of a food. But when it comes to weight maintenance, calorie intake is the most important thing to watch. If you eat as many

calories as you burn in a day, you will maintain your weight. Eat more calories than you burn and you will gain weight; eat fewer calo-ries than the daily allotment and you’ll lose weight. Thus if you choose to splurge, it is important to keep in mind just how many calories you are adding to your daily intake.

There are many treats on campus that contain be-tween 200 and 250 calories. If you are a sweets person, you can indulge on 1 whole Rice Krispie treat, 2/3 of a sugar cookie with M&Ms or half a brownie with walnuts. If salty is more your style, a snack-size bag of Rold Gold Pretzels, Ruffles, Nacho Doritos or ¼ of a serving of Bear’s Den tortilla chips are all good choices.

You can check the nutri-tional information of the “junk foods” on campus by visiting http://diningser-vices.wustl.edu/. Select a dining location on campus and click on the nutrition pyramids to find out ingre-dients and nutrition infor-mation in different food items.

Keep in mind that as a general rule you should eat healthy snacks and meals, but even in a healthy diet there is always some room for junk food, as long as it is “in moderation.”

Everything in moderation

BY NICOLLE NEULISTSCENE REPORTER

A new school year is starting. You’re signing up for new classes. You’re meet-

ing new people. You may be moving into a new apartment or dorm. You may be joining new clubs, choosing a new major, or hanging out in dif-ferent places on the week-ends than you did last year.

Why am I pointing all of these things in a dating ad-vice column? Simple: because you are going to change this year. You are not exactly the same person you were a year ago. You are also not exactly the same person now as you will be a year from now. Real-izing these things is crucial to making the best of your dating life, whether you are single or in a relationship.

If you are in a relationship at any age, you need to con-tinually assess your compat-ibility with your partner as well as the direction your life is heading in relation to that of your partner. This is espe-cially necessary when you are a teenager or in your twen-ties though, because young adults change so much and so frequently. Young adult-hood is when you become mature enough to become comfortable with an identity and take concrete steps to shape it and live by it. Some of the choices you make will

work, and you will continue to integrate them into your life. Some of them will not work, and you will need to fi gure out another principle or goal that feels more ap-propriate and follow that instead. And as you reinvent parts of yourself, you need to make sure to keep your partner aware of the changes you make. Tell her what you have learned about your-self and fi nd out what your partner has learned about herself. Continue to discuss the changes you make in your lives, because there will inevitably be changes. Find out whether your current selves are still compatible. If you still work together that’s a good thing, but don’t let that make you compla-cent. Continue to be mindful of and interested in your growth and that of your part-ner, and continue to reassess the relationship.

It is possible that you may come to the painful realiza-tion that who you have be-come confl icts with who your partner has become. You have to discuss the changes and the confl ict with your partner, and then you have a choice to make. Is the con-fl ict something that makes things between you and your partner more complex but does not undermine your core values or your ability to be happy? If so, then the con-fl ict is something you should

probably consider working through, because there still may be a way to make the relationship work long-term if that is what both you and your partner want.

However, if your most im-portant values and goals con-fl ict now with your partner’s core ideals and motivations, you may have to consider whether the relationship is worth continuing. If you impede on something that is important to your partner or your partner is a sort of obstacle to something impor-tant to you, then continuing the relationship could very likely breed resentment. Even if it doesn’t, it will at the very least send your ability to be-come your full adult self (as well as your partner’s ability to become his adult self!) to a grinding halt. Although the risk of realizing you have grown apart is an unpleasant one, it pales in comparison to the misery you will face if you never assess the relation-ship at all, and only realize years or decades down the road how little you have had in common since you were eighteen, twenty, or twenty-two.

If you are single you need to apply this same critical eye to your expectations and your interests. Have you re-evaluated your “type” recently? Or have you been interested in people with the same personality traits and

life interests since you were thirteen? If you take a minute to ask why, it may be for good reason. The characteristics you have sought for years could still describe a person you will enjoy, or a person who is good for you. But, they may not. It may be time to re-focus your attentions toward people with new characteris-tics, characteristics that will complement, nurture and intrigue you as you are now.

It’s so comfortable to keep on doing what you’ve always been doing: to see yourself as the same person you’ve been for a very long time or to see your current or potential love interests as the same old people as always. But, you’re changing and they’re changing—it is unrealistic to expect otherwise. Take the time to evaluate these changes now, at the begin-ning of the school year, when the fact that you are chang-ing is most obvious. You will reach your full potential and be more satisfi ed in the long run if you get in the habit of evaluating your ideals, your life goals and what you want out of a partner.

Do you have any ques-tions about love, dating, sex or romance that you want me to answer in a future Scene column? If so, e-mail them to [email protected]. All names will be changed and all identifying details will be confi dential.

Times are a changin’: Reaching your potential and maintaining a successful lovelife
