The OFMA also reported that the number of markets statewide has doubled since 2000. "Knowing how your food is grown and who grows it is pretty rare in this day and age, but at the farmer's mar ket, that's commonplace," said Noa O'Hare, Lane County Farmer's Market director. "The grower is the seller." The growers are generous, too, and there are always lots of samples. The Lane Country Farmers' Market takes place onTbesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at East 8th Avenue and Oak Street, and Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Lane County Fairgrounds. The market at the Meridian runs Thursdays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 18th Avenue and Willamette Street, and Al Fresco, at the 5th Street Market, is on Fridays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Jackon Holtz is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. I, ROBOT continued from page 7 roles. Spooner's grandmother, a mi nor character in the film, is eerily similar to Big Mama from "Soul Food," and Dr. Calvin, supposedly an intelligent, empowered female character, doesn't know how to shoot a gun. The buff, impertinent black cop, the hot, smart and wimpy woman, the skeptical lieutenant, the evil corporate head and the humanized machine are all variations of stock characters. And while the acting isn't terrible, it isn't really good either. If it were just another summer blockbuster, the film would fulfill its role as an entertaining science fiction flick; however, like most adaptations, Proyas' ambitious attempt to success fully recreate a classic on film falls flat. Science fiction lovers, especially those who have read the book, will be disappointed. Like so many other "based on" films, this is another time for audiences to boycott the movie theater and head to the public library. Sara Brickner is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. MONTRY continued from page 7 hadn't seen a woman naked since birth. This, of course, makes no sense, considering Clarkson is playing a hip young Texas feminist with blond streaks in her hair. Yeah, I didn't get it either. Next 10 minutes: The entire plot slaps you in the face with a wet salmon when Justin, "the mayor of spring break," enters the scene, sport ing such witty dialogue as "Dude, like 1 couldn't imagine myself with one girl for, like, an entire day!" Hmm, do you think the rest of the movie will be about Justin's inability to commit un til he meets Kelly, who somehow manages to change him, but not be fore a few tumultuous fights? I^et's find out! Ten beers later: Yeah, I was right. Near the end: The rest of the movie plays out like a music video — sort of half musical, half fantasy beach island where everybody dances in unison and nobody weighs more than 95 pounds. In fact, a central theme to the plot is a whipped cream bikini con test, which hasn't shown its face on the big screen since "Varsity Blues," undoubtedly for good reason. The movie is fueled purely by hormones, but ironically nobody actually man ages, in an entire week of spring break, to have sex. Oh, wait, my mis take, there was that one scene where Justin and his best friend, Brandon, wipe each other down with whipped cream in what can only be described as the most homoerotic moment in all of cinema. All in all, the movie garnered $5 million, despite a score that sounds like something written by a cocaine addict in Orange County . Want a sample? Here's a rap from the movie by Brandon, a skinny white guy just begging to be accepted — the kind of guy who humps the legs of real hip hop stars at B-movie parties. Here it is: So dude you wanna pick up chicks ? I'll give ya the secret. You want mad phone numbers and make them beg ya to keep it? You'll be heartbreakin Betty and heart bustin' (unintelligible) Just follow me and Justin and soon they'll be bustin'for you. Now to impress these chicks you gotta be smoother than eva' No need to sweat, I'm your mentor, I'm cleva' The ones at the bar, and the ones at the pool The triplets Cammie, Sammie and Tammy from my old high school But it's cool cause I roll Multiple chicks you'll be landin' Just listen to Brandon And soon they'll be standin' with you You can leave them all smittin' Names like honey and baby and Bon ny and Katie You listenin'? Cause now you're a play a' Just stack up the layers on your heart and then sava! This flavor of feelin You gotta date 'em and leave 'em! (unintelligible) So if you, dear reader, can read that and still have any willingness or desire to watch this movie, then I feel for you, you poor bastard. janmontry@dailyemerald.com DONATION continued from page 4 and performances from musicians I around the globe.
