Twenty something Tel Aviv hipsters live life, have sex, befriend the enemy in The Bubble The Bubble Directed by Eytan Fox Strand Releasing Opens September 7 Had Israeli director Eytan Fox's new film, about a passionate affair between two men on opposite sides of the Israeli-Arab conflict, been released in the early 1970s (when I was the same age as its twentysomething hipsters and living in Tel Aviv), the movie would have attracted a smattering of furtive admirers in the peace movement and the tightly closeted gay community. Already known in this country for his terrific 2004 thriller Walk on Waterand for the gay army love story Yossi & Jogger, Fox, with his long-time partner and co- writer Gal Uchovsky, makes slickly commercial Westernized dramedies whose sexual...

Set during the first Gulf War, Towelhead tells the story of 13-year-old Jasira, whose curse is to be both prematurely "developed" and the off-spring of two profoundly idiotic parents. The novel begins with Jasira as she moves from her Irish-American mother's home in Syracuse to her Lebanese father's house in Houston under less than ideal circumstances. As she explains, "My mother's boyfriend got a crush on me so she sent me to live with Daddy.
So Jasira goes to school, takes a job baby-sitting the boy next door and exists in a state of bored, emotional starvation. When her mother calls, she's often less interested in Jasira than in using her daughter to get back at her ex-husband. [Alicia Erian] has a wonderfully subtle way of crafting believable scenarios in which life just rains ston...

The Santa Fe chapter of Veterans for Peace (known as the Joan Duffy chapter) wanted to provide graduating high school students considering the military with another option. So it sponsored an essay writing contest in which students were asked to explain how they might contribute to a peaceful and just society. The contest was geared to Navajo students, many of whom come from families with a long history in the military. Santa Fean Lucy Moore coordinated the project for VFP after meeting Fernando Suarez del Solar, a man who became an anti-war activist after his 20-year-old Marine son, Jesus, was killed in Iraq. After hearing his story, Moore says she asked him: "'What can someone like me do?' and Fernando said, 'We have to make an alternative for kids who want to do something with their ...

WHEN the make-love-not-war generation finally got around to having kids, they were so proud of their accomplishment that they fawned over the little darlings and protectively adorned their minivans with yellow caution signs that warned of precious cargo: "Baby on Board.
Now, after many years of being told they were special and entitled to endless conveniences and a life without turmoil, the children are grown up. And the University of California system, which has recently endured student protests and arrests over a fee hike, has to contend with the byproduct: Brats at the Gates.

Puppets come in uniform, too, and Lost Girls wraps up with a timeless juxtaposition as World War I begins. "Looking back," he says, "we realized what I suppose should have been glaringly obvious from the beginning: that this is a profoundly hippie piece of work betraying how both myself and [Melinda Gebbie] were formed in the 1960s. It's got a bold make-love-not-war message, it's pro-erotica, it's pro-sexuality, it's pro-art nouveau, and there are lots of psychedelic and drug sequences. It's not got rock and roll, but it's got [Igor Stravinsky]. And it revolves around children's fantasy characters, which were also very popular then." Go ask [Alice, Dorothy].
Apart from a couple of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen books in the works, [Alan Moore] is taking a break from the comics he app...
