Try to take Keanu seriously




It's Bizarro week at the movie theater. First up, Keanu Reeves brings his vacant stare to the role of a tough-guy cop in "Street Kings." Note to viewers: When Keanu furrows his brow at a suspect and says, "Hands in the air, dude," it's not supposed to be a laugh line.

Then there's Sarah Jessica Parker playing a doctor in "Smart People." She seems plenty smart, but somehow it's hard to imagine her with medical training -- other than extensive knowledge about STDs.

If you're looking for something more highbrow, venture down to Benaroya Hall in Seattle and find out what it's like to lead an orchestra at a virtual conducting kiosk.

The "virtual maestro" kiosk is appropriately located in Benaroya's Boeing gallery. Lately, Boeing has been having a lot of fantasies about getting all its instruments in tune.

Atheists are planning a summer camp near Darrington, as Kristi O'Harran reports in her column today.

Atheist camp is just like regular summer camp, except when they sing around the campfire, it goes, "Kumbaya, my nonexistent deity, kumbaya."
