Leif Bergquist's back hurts. Maybe that's because he's been sitting in class for two hours straight, the back of an unyielding, plastic desk digging into his spine. Or maybe it's because the hour-long ergometer workout he did in crew practice the evening before is catching up with him. For Leif, it's difficult to tell anymore.
Modest Mouse started this year the same way The Flaming Lips started 2002-a band whose optimistic indie rock had, for years, deemed them the next big thing. Finally, after a string of critically acclaimed albums which had never amounted to a commercial success, the Lips pushed through with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. This was echoed two years later by Modest Mouse, when Good News for People Who Like Bad News brought the band from indie icons to mainstream ones. Modest Mouse has effectively become this year's Flaming Lips.
Albert Einstein was once quoted as saying, \I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."" Einstein, however, was conveniently unavailable for comment when asked, ""But what if you're favorite college football team is undefeated halfway through its season, and they have only one truly formidable opponent standing in the way of their first-ever Orange Bowl berth?""
Political satire is one of the trickiest ventures a filmmaker can dabble in; it is inherently challenging to integrate insightful commentary into an entertaining piece of cinema. Efforts range from sublime (Barry Levinson's \Wag the Dog"") to silly (Warren Beatty's ""Bulworth""), as the attempt to put a unique spin on political events can either result in a seminal film or a laughably misguided sermon. In a year rife with politic films of all shapes and sizes, it is John Sayles' toothless, shamefully mediocre ""Silver City"" that makes the slightest impression.

A couple of years ago, \Swimfan"" topped the North American box office in its opening week. But more than amounting to merely a surprise financial success, the teen thriller set a new high mark for ridiculous and badly conceived premises. The movie was designed to be a typical morality tale, in which a star high school swimmer cheats on his girlfriend and then watches his life unravel as his secret breast-stroke partner turns possessive and homicidal.
America is ready for a new sweetheart. Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock and Meg Ryan are all on the way out, and the current batch of high-powered leading ladies-Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry and Catherine Zeta-Jones-are not cut out for the romantic, sympathetic and funny roles that characterize the lofty title. So who is ready to step in? That's a tough question. But The Daily Cardinal is here to break down some of the contenders exiting and entering the \Sweetheart Battle Royale.""
You have to wait in line to see Ghafoor Zafari.
Ah, moving out of the dorms: It's a joyful experience, a rite of passage marked by freedom from floor meetings, a non-existent alcohol policy and roommates you can stand to be in the same room with-but it's also a reality check. Suddenly, you can't just hop across the street or downstairs for sustenance, and the days of eating three square meals in the cafeteria courtesy of your WisCard are gone forever.
In light of the anniversary of Sept. 11 this past Saturday, I was drawn to thoughts of a world at peace. Unfortunately, this nation and world are neither destined for nor deserving of peace at the moment. Recent scandals and heartache quickly make it apparent that although we claim a desire for peace, we have not yet opened our hearts to welcome its arrival. If you question my negativity on the issue, perhaps a few reminders will clear the confusion.
While Michael Phelps was wrapping up his record eight medals and the United States men's basketball team was proving it is no longer a world power, one of Madison's own, UW senior swimmer Carly Piper, helped lead the 800-meter free relay to a gold medal and world record.
Lest you've forgotten that finals are swiftly and menacingly approaching, the Cardinal is here to remind you of that fact with its first annual Coffee Crawl. A crew of four dedicated caffeine consumers hit five State Street shops to help you decide which spot will best suit your needs, whether they be a study spot, a chill atmosphere, or just a kickstart to the old nerves.
\Crimson Gold,"" playing at the Orpheum Theatre, 216 State St., covers controversial ground. Written by well-known Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami and directed by Jafar Panahi, the duo is a very powerful force influencing Iran's impact on the global film circuit. Filmed in Tehran, ""Crimson Gold"" is fundamentally a critique of Iran's drastically imbalanced class structure and corrupt government.
