I IC - The Michigan Daily- Tuesday, September 26, 2000 ARTS KINGS Continued from Page 8 "Normally, you know, I don't do this, but go on, keep the party goin'!" Bernie Mac's routine is a little more politically incorrect and a lot more angry than the rest of the show. His act starts off innocently enough, but there are times when one doesn't know whether to laugh or wince, including his unflinching use of words like "fag- got" and remarks like "If you're old enough to talk back, you're old enough for a beating." However, it is obvious by the end that it's all part of the act. "The Original Kings of Comedy" is lacking in its flow, a shortcoming that director Spike Lee attempts to rectify 'NFL2K1' delivers the goods for Dreamcast Director Spike "Mars Blackmon" Lee. with brief scenes of the four comedians playing poker and hanging out back- stage, but the result is choppy. Although there is an overall absence of fresh material and it definitely doesn't leave you wanting more, the film is entertain- ing, and taking the good with the bad proves to be worth it. By Matt Grandstaff For the Daily Every September, college students have to deal with various things being rehashed. These include being told what the scientific method is for the 50th time, Grade: A coping with basketball and hockey players leaving their NFL2K1 beloved college teams, and a new version of their favorite For Dreamcast football being a carbon copy of the game's previous effort. But Sega this year, Sega Dreamcast own- ers can rejoice as the sequel to Sega's #1 selling game of 1999, NFL2K, delivers the goods. For starters, Sega Sports has tweaked many areas of gameplay in NFL2K I that were lacking in originality. The biggest complaint most gainers had with NFL2K was its difficult and sometimes impossible running game. In third in short situations last year, players of NFL2K would be more inclined to pass than run. This year everything changes as a result of fantastic block- ing, juke moves, and more that turn NFL2KI into a smash-mouth football game that Lloyd Carr would adore. Aside from the running game, NFL2KI improves on a passing game that was second only to the classic 8-bit Nintendo game, Tecmo Bowl. No longer are there only floaty passes that favored Keshawn Johnson and Randy Moss, for now there are bullet passes, loft- ed passes and regular passes. In addition, new football realism is provided with pump fakes and pass accura- cy based on what foot the quarterback throws from. While enhanced passing and running will leave Sega Sports fans' mouths watering, the online ele- ment of the game is what will have football and non- football fans alike left in awe. Simply connect you Dreamcast to a phone line, set up an account an onlin account (though Sega.Net or simply use an existin account, such as AOL or UMICH), and you are read to duel friends or random people from around th country. Amazingly, with a connection of at leas 33.6K, one can play through a game with little latenc to slow down the game. And to add to the fun, h up a Dreamcast keyboard anti you are ready to tras talk your opponents as you run the ball down thei throats. It is clear that Sega Sports is taking their update sports games seriously as NFL2KI is the best footbal game of the year (at least until the upcoming Playsta tion 2 releases Madden 2001). But regardless of wha EA can produce this year with their best selling Mad den franchise, NFL2KI will hold an edge as the onl online football available on game consoles this year. :-=- I, The Departmentc The University4 of Philosophy of Michigan announces THE TANNER LECTURE ON HUMAN VALUES 2000-01 Museum hosts Pennsylvania Avenue through October Jackson Rd. 4 Wagner 734-822A833 One Mile West of Webees Inn ;S.00 Matinees tit 6 pm & all day Tuesday ;4.75 Kids b Seniors all show$5.75 with Student ID ;5.55 late Shows Fri & Sat ' Partha Dasgupta Frank Ramsey Professor of Economics University of Cambridge 0 No passes or Tuesday discounts I By Jennifer Gates For The Dail- When former member of the White House staff and present Vice President I y..u- a a au. u 7uaiu Unlimited Free Drink Refills & .25t Corn Rel Stadium Seating Gives YOU An Unobstructed View I Valuing Objects and Evaluating Policies: Economic Well-Being and the Natural Environment Friday, October 6, 4:00 p.m. Rackham Amphitheatre, 915 East Washington Street SYMPOSIUM ON THE TANNER LECTURE Partha Dasgupta 0 BAIT (R) 2PW1TS 12:05, 1:30, 2:30, 4:00, 5:05, 7.35. 9:00. 9:55 Q ALMOST FAMOUS (R) 2PMNW 12:00, 1:45, 2:25, 4:15, 5:00, 7:00, 7:30, 9:30, 9:50 o URBAN LEGEND: FINAL CUT (R) zPmBIM 12:10, 1:30, 2:20, 3:40, 4:30, 5:45, 6:45, 7:45, 8:45, 9:45 Q WOMAN ON TOP (R) 1:25, 3:20, 5:15,7:10,9:10 LOVE AND SEX (NR) 7:05, 9:05 THE WATCHER (R) 12:20.2:35. 4:40, 6:50, 8:55 NURSE BETTY (R) 12:25, 2.40,4:55, 7:15, 9:35 SCARY MOVIE (R) 2:50.7:20, 9:15 ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY (R) 1:55, 4:20, 7:05, 9:35 ART OF WAR (R) 6:30 BRING IT ON (PG-13) 1:50, 3:50, 5:50, 7:50, 9:50 THE CELL (R) 12:40, 3:00, 5:20. 7:35. 9:45 THE REPLACEMENTS (PG-13) 12:15, 2:35, 4:50. 9:20 SPACE COWBOYS (PG-13) 1:35,4:05,6:40 WHAT LIES BENEATH (PG-13) 2:00, 4:35, 7.15, 9:55 CHICKEN RUN (G) 1:05. 4:45 _ COUPON - ----- - IBag of Buttery Popcorn cyvrA.I .'i rI$ D l)MO_+I White House Collection of American Crafts Museum of Art Through Oct. 22 and General Counsel at the University, Mar- vin Krislov, learned about the White House Collection of American Crafts he proposed the art exhibit be brought to Ann Arbor. He cor- rectly assumed that First Lady H ilary Clinton would be interest- Idolmoke. ed in showing the collection to the audi- ence she enjoyed speaking with two years ago. After 1993 was named The Year of American Craft by a Joint Resolution of Congress and Presidential Proclama- tion, the First Lady worked together with the then Curator-ln-Charge of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery, Michael Monroe, to gather together many of the American crafts spread throughout the halls and rooms of the White House. Whether the individual pieces came from a history of Presidential donations and purchas- es, or were made expressively for the collection, it is clear that, as Director of U;M's Museum of Art (UMMA), James Steward, stated, the founders were look- ing "to explore certain inherently American creations" and "draw atten- tion' to something that was typically "seen as being undervalued." This undervalued "bias in craft" as Steward expresses it, extended not just to the general public. There is a "histo ty that most art museums tended to tak an elitist view of art media- suce painting or sculpture. There has b some widening, for example now pho tography is accepted; at first it was no thought of as art because it was consid cred too much like the real world.. Presently web art is the newest mediuai challenging museums to think abou what is art and what isn't." While Stew ard is "not interested in perpetuating th divide" between fine arts and less tradi tional art mediums like craft art, bu rather in making it "more inclusive,' does say that the White I louse exhibi one that is relatively new to the muse um in terms of its non-traditional status The Museum Director said UMMA i presently "engaged in re-identificatioi about what an art museum is." Steward hosted a symposium thi past Saturday in the Museum's apse where the White House Craft exhibi and the questions it raises were topics of discussion. It was not assembly of "dry academic heads, bu an interesting cross-section of hov we collect objects with our feeling: involved," Steward said. He cited Fre( Wilson as one of the Symposiumr speakers. Wilson is known for his use of museums as his material for creat ing art. In order to allow the biases o others to become apparent he "raids" their collections and presents thei "skeletons in the closet," or art that was not chosen to put on display and examines why this is the case. The exhibit features the uork of 77 of the country :' best artists. AcdtnIs- sion isfee Debra Satz Associate Professor of Philosophy Stanford University T.N. Srinivasan Samuel C.

Congratulations. All the cramming, insomnia and junk food breakfasts have paid off. You're in college now - and soon, you'll be facing questions about your life. Like what to do with the rest of it. One thing is for sure, if you're a student of color, with an INROADS internship you could have a serious job every summer while you're still in school - making contacts and gaining experience.in your chosen field of study. Hey, it won't be easy, but then again if you wanted it easy, you wouldn't be reading this right now.
