Movie Review
K
Starring Sean Gullette
and Mark Margolis
Directed by Darren
Aronofsky
Showing at Hollywood
16
Rated R
After making the art
house rounds for months,
one of the most talked about
movies of the year has come
to Aggieland.
Audiences looking for a
creative, unique movie
should not be turned away by
the facts that rt was shot in
black and white and is basi
cally about math and science.
Aronofsky provides ten
sion and surprises that enter
tain and entrance.
The images in k are often
disturbing, and the audience
is likely to feel a touch of the
discomfort that Gullette’s
character experiences.
Quick camera work, quick
editing and an appropriately
hectic techno score keep the
film’s look modern despite
the lack of color. (Grade: A-)

BY GRAY WHITTEN
The Battalion
As a vocalist, Henry
Rollins resembles a stripped-
down bundle of nerve end
ings setting the stage ablaze.
However, as a spoken-
word performer on his latest
album. Think Tank, Rollins
puts his usual crowd to sleep
with his performance that
more closely resembles a
stand-up routine than a spo
ken-word performance, on
disc one.
However, Rollins redeems
himself on disc two with his
tales of life on the road with
Rollins Band and Black Flag.
These are the kinds of sto
ries fans have come to expect
from his normally intense
spoken-word performances.
Rollins should have con
centrated on relating his ex
periences on disc one and left
the observational comedy to
Jerry Seinfeld and the like.

T he members of Cox’s Primate
Jubilee, or CPJ, may not be able
to find the exact words to de
scribe their band to others, but they
do know what kind of reactions they
want from crowds.
Applause is appreciated, but laugh
ter is what the band values most.
Bryan Cox, a senior marketing
major and namesake of the band,
said the crowd’s reaction is the key
to their shows.
“We’re not just trying to make peo
ple laugh with the performance, but
we’re trying to get them into it,” Cox
said. “We’re going all out with this
show and trying to get a fun reaction
out of people
Joshua Worthy, one of CJP’s vcal-
ists and a junior journalism major,
said the band’s performances are of a
light-hearted nature.
“You can laugh at the lyrics of the
song or at the performance itself,” Wor
thy said. “You don’t just sit and listen to
the music; we put on a show.”
Alden Wilkins, one of CPJ’s guitarists
and a senior management major, said
the show is unique.
“It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen,”
Wilkins said.
After performing together locally for
about a year, CPJ is trying to find new
venues and new audiences. But Cox said
the band is happy with performing of
any kind.
“We have the best time just practic
ing and stuff,” Cox said. "If we have five
people listening, we have the best time. ”
Jeff Schiefelbein, a junior marketing
major and CPJ vocalist, said the honor
of the band’s name belongs to Cox be
cause he does not get to lead the band.
“When it was just the three of us, we
thought, ‘Cox isn’t the lead singer, and
he’s not the lead guitar, so he gets his
name on the band,”’ Schiefelbein said.
The ‘Primate Jubilee’ reflects the fact
that all four member
proud of their fully-fumi
able thumbs.
Cox said the band’s:
more than just music.
