Colllseum Monday night
The show was visually
stimulating.
FLOATER
Continued from Page 7 A
This leads out) to wonder,
then. why the three-piece band
hits such a decent-sized follow
ing — and sound so damn good
— after onlv being together for
a couple of months.
Guitarist Dave Amador is the
latest addition to Floater, com
ing in after dorneil and VVvnia
had three different sets of audi
tions over 10 months that
brought them tr> guitarists who
wanted to plav in the hand.
Amador's selling point.
Cornett said, was the fact that
the drummer and bass guitarist
were look.mg for someone who
would plav rhythm-based gui
tar, rather than lead
Cornett calls Floater a
rhythm section-driven band,
which is something rare in
hard rockin' Eugene but is
found among nationally popu
lar groups Primus, Helmet and
Rush, to name a few
"We do it because Rob and I
are semi-self* indulgent."
Cornett joked
The Inst time n Eugene rock
band focused on being so
rhythm-driven, it ended up
moving to Portland and eventu
ally getting an album out That
was Jolly Mon. and tins is
f loater for fans ol Jollv Mon.
Floater's sound is jovfully
digestible heavv, funkv, and
sometimes even slow and
moody !adore it comes up and
bites you in the ass
The former version of floater
— minus Amador — came
when Cornett answered an ad
for another hand and then met
Wynio. Six months after that
meeting, the two left together
to start what is now Floater.
Nearly a year later, here they
are. growing up faster than
Paul Human did through his
childhood.
Even an a m starting time for
the group didn't score off the
50-or-so fans drinking beer,
smoking cigarettes or playing
pool (or all of the above) at
John Henry's last week The
< heers and applause between
each song made it apparent
that the crowd came to see this
hand, and not the two precious
ones no matter how late it was.
T\e been pretty shocked,''
( ornett said of the band's early
success. "It's a direction I
didn't expec t to pull off. It's
motivation to keep going.”
domett sees the high turnout
at Floater's shows also as good
for Kugene music. The more
people support the local music
scene, the more the local music
scene will support the people,
he said.
Floater and their fans are a
good example.
Floater will next play at John
Henry ’s Nov. 2H.

Judgment Sight, starring Fmilio Fsteve/ and
Denis Diary, is not a gixKi film There an- those who
will argue, "But it has a good soundtrack Mv
response is, so what? The acting is shoddy, the
premise is cliched, and the plot is ludicrous
On the verge of responsibility, Estevez, his broth
er and two of his alinost-thirtv something friends
from a carefree suburb, take off in an KV "cause the
chicks dig it" to go watch a fight
just like Grand Canyon, our protagonists take a
"shortcut” in order to beat the traffic, hut wind up
in a had part of town. Unfortunately for our pro
tagonists, Danny Glover does not come to save them.
Instead, the four witness a murder committed by
a really mean guy (Denis Leary), who decides that
he and his posse need to blow away these mid
dle-class men who know too much. This begs the
obvious question: Hey gangbanger, if you didn't
want witnesses, why'd you kill someone in the mid
dle of the street?
Of course, this isn't Scorcese, and the movie goes
on.
Time and time again our heroes escape certain
doom only to !>t* found again by Leary’s ( harai -
!er The good guvs hide in a train car. while L^jarv
goes straight to the train yard. They go to the pro
jects. and I,nar\ smokes 'em out. They hide in the
sewers, but hey. Denis "C.U.U.D." Leary ain’t
fooled.
The plot is tediously predictable It's a foregone
com lusion tbnt one of the four will die, and it's
equally obvious who it will be It's also dear that
the script will give in to .1 classic cliche by hav
ing l.eary's character kill one of his own men.
1 assume that the film was trying to teach us seri
ous life lessons, such as violence is serious busi
ness Yeah, well, so is film making. The
unintentional lesson given is that the audience —
including this reviewer - should know better than
to pay good money to see this Him.
This film didn't even have socially redeeming
qualities normally associated with low-budget
flicks. The violence was Iroring, and there was no
unnecessary nudity (or even "necessary" nudity.)
Leary's character is an annoying and dull cari
cature, and Estevez just goes through the motions.
Judgment Might seems destined to be placed on
a shelf with Freejack, Men At Work and Wisdom,
in what will probably end up being a vast film
library of bad Emilio Estevez flicks.
I was so ashamed for paying $5.50 to see this no
brainer that I felt compelled to write a review in
the Emerald because the paper will refund the tick
et price.
