Entertainment Page 4 The Southeastern Thursday, April 26, 2007 Leslie Nielsen and deadly space exploration adventuring By JOSH McMULLIN Staff writer It’s easy these days not to pay much attention to the classic films from wayback-when, since we have films that are loaded with every imaginable type of special effect. However, there was a time when films weren’t run on multi-million dollar budgets, my friends, and some of those films are worth a watch or two. Entertainment review One such film is the sci-fi classic “The Forbidden Planet,” starring mostly actors who are dead or doing TV infomercials, with the exception of Leslie Nielsen. That’s right. Before he became famous It’s time to pull out a longtime fashion favorite, the classic trench coat. This season it has taken on some new styles. They can be short, shiny or casual, and they are light enough to transition into the upcoming summer months. The trench coat is known for creating flattering silhouettes on most body types, and they can be worn during the day, as well as for a fancy night out on the town. On the runways, designers’ went for glamour, with eyecatching shimmery versions that came mid-thigh on the models. Celine went for shiny silver and black coats, while Carolina Herrera debuted oh-so-feminine trenches overlaid with black lace. Lanvin had a super glossy version with tons of for starring in films like “Airplane,” “The Naked Gun” and “Space Travesty,” he played a serious role as the captain of a space crew who goes to investigate a settled planet which has dropped communication with earth. Upon arriving, the crew finds only two survivors, a highly advanced robot and a mysterious and terrible force that is out for blood. “Forbidden Planet” was originally released in 1956 and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Special Effects, and recently it was nominated for Best Classic DVD Film Release. It’s a pretty important film in the genre of sci-fi because it inspired so many other films and TV series that also went on to become successful shows and movies, including “Lost in Space” and “Star Trek.” Taking the Runway Todd added volume. You can wear these fancy trenches over leggings for spring or over bare legs; either way you will look gorgeous. With single- breasted versions, the look is very tailored and sleek. These are simple with subtle details, such as small white piping on an all-black coat or a metallic hued type with barely-there polka dots. The single-breasted coats look best when they hit just above the knee. For the double-breasted trench coat, you need to have one with an even number of buttons on each side. This is a classic style that looks crisp and clean when worn in a fresh khaki hue. These have a flattering A-line shape and usually hit right below or at the knee. Go for one in a cotton-nylon material for rainy-day wear. A modern option is the new cropped trench. Courtesy Photo with Rachel Todd These hit right below your hips and are also doublebreasted and belted. They’re like a mini version of the original. Opt for one in a bright color like yellow for that fun and youthful look. Wear it with a pair of slim stovepipe pants or a billowy skirt to complement the lines of the jacket. For an evening out, try a double or single-breasted trench in a shiny patent leather or a shimmering golden brocade or satin. These trenches are so fancy that you should keep accessories to a minimum and keep bare legs for that sexy siren look. Carry a tiny clutch and complete the look with a pair of platform stilettos for ultra glamour. The trench coat is a timeless piece that every woman should have in her closet. Just remember to do cotton or nylon for day and luxury fabrics, like silk or leather, for night, and this classic will be an outfit all on its own. In Celebration of National Poetry Month Vingst et Un Ans et Attente By Katheryn Bell J’ai le sang chaud. Habiter es procès a moi. Et je suis crevèe. Je batts le monstres d’ennui Pendant que ma ami colère chante a moi, Moqueuse moi avec chaque haleine. Les jours saluent qqn de la main pendant que ils passent Et je bois ma rhume cafè. J’aime minuit. Je pleure alors que les visions dance J’ai vingt et un ans— Donc tres vielle. Le fin. Translation I am quick-tempered Life is a trial to me And I am exhausted. I fight the demons of boredom While my friend anger sings to me Mocking me with every breath. The days wave as they pass And I sip my cold coffee. I love midnight. I cry as the visions dance I am 21. So very old. The end Nielsen stars in “Forbidden Planet.” Mishap: Dive in by DiRK Since April is National Poetry Month, The Southeastern staff decided to celebrate in a rather fitting manner by printing some poetry for your enjoyment.

Campus & Community Thursday, April 26, 2007 Entertainment Guide: Butt3rs says, ‘Buy these.’ Erwin said there were many individuals and companies who made the annual event possible. Stuteville Ford sponsored the hole-n-one-car event. Other sponsors included Carl’s Jr., which provided breakfast, OG&E and Banker’s Life and Casualty. “We would also like to thank our over 40 hole sponsors – without sponsors the event would not have been possible,” Erwin said. She said about $3,000 was raised for scholarships, after expenses were paid. “I would really like to see more departments do an event like this where the Alumni are encouraged to come back and mingle with current students,” Erwin said. “I think doing it this time of year when most departments are holding Award Banquets is ideal. “It allows the Alumni to see the need for scholarships and it allows the students to interact with the alumni, which is good,” she said. “This year the Aviation Alumni was able to give $1,500 in scholarships. Three students received $500 scholarships,” Erwin said. During the award ceremony, 15 scholarships and awards were presented to students for their outstanding performance in and out of the classroom, for a total of $11,750 in scholarships for the 2007-2008 school If you are like me and you’ve played “Risk” so much it is starting to get boring, chances are you’re looking for a new strategy board game to play with your pals. “Axis and Allies” is a superb military strategy board game that puts you in charge of commanding the different powers of World War II.

Page 5 The Southeastern Body Worlds and laser tag By JAMIE CARRICK News editor The Honors Program went on an educational field trip to the Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas, followed by a trip to the arcade Main Events in Plano, Texas. At the museum, the 21 students and Honors faculty Dr. Brett Elliott saw the Body Worlds exhibit, which use actual human (and some animal) remains to demonstrate how the human body works. According to the museum’s Web site natureandscience.org/ bodyworlds, “the exhibition features approximately 200 authentic human specimens, including whole bodies, plastinated individual organs and transparent body slices that have been preserved through the process of plastination, a technique that replaces bodily fluids and fat with reactive plastics.” The Honors Program students also saw the other exhibits at the museum and watched the IMAX movie “The Human Body,” which explains how the various bones, muscles and organs function. “It was awesome and compelling in the nature of the extravagant human experience, showing sides and fashions of humanity that were both odd and amaz- Wesley Center feeds SOSU, body and spirit WESLEY CENTER The always-popular campus event is back, offering free snacks, meals, drinks, & coffee from 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Mon-Thur of Finals Week.
