I THE PLAIN DEALER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1993- 'E 5-FA A righteous message quickly flames out By PETER RAINER LOS ANGELES TIMES HOLLYWOOD Robert Townsend is working an agenda in his new film, "The Meteor 1 Man," which he directed, wrote and stars in. It's about what happens when the decent, shy schoolteacher Jefferson Reed gets hit by a meteorand acquires the superpowers that enable him to combat the gang that is terrorizing his neighborhood. It's a fantasy intended to give inner-city black kids a superhero with real meaning in their lives. The PG-rated film is also clearly meant to provide an alternative to the R-rated urban violence of films like "Boyz the Hood" and "Menace II Society." There's violence in "The Meteor Man," but it's mostly a cheesier version of the whammo punchouts in the "Superman" and "Batman" series. Despite its high-flown intentions, most of "The Meteor Man" comes across like a fairly clunky sitcom inflated with sequences of righteous do-goodism.
The righteousness has its reactionary side; it implies that movies depicting graphic inner-city violence are by definition exploitative and destructive. Townsend plays his role with a serious undertone throughout he's a comic on a mission. The neighbor- Now playing at area theaters. Written and directed by Robert Townsend. Produced by Loretha C.

Jefferson Robert Townsend Mrs. Marla Gibbs Michael Eddie Griffin Mr. Reed Robert Guillaume Mr. James Earl Jones hood community which includes Jefferson's irate father (Robert Guillaume), who stands up to the gangs, his mother (Marla Gibbs), and a goofy, weak-willed homebody (James Earl Jones) frets and agonizes about how to survive the incursions of the dread Golden Lords gang.
But Townsend is also excited by the visual possibilities of the Lords their sleek jackets and gold-tinted hair and don't-mess-with-me glowers are so much more stylish than anything else in the movie that the antigang message is obscured. The Lords are the bad guys but kids in the audience are more likely to be captivated by their "look" than by the fuddyduddy goodness of the Meteor Man in his clunky armored costume. This isn't the first time in the movies that the bad guys have turned out to be more exciting than the good guys, but Townsend could have done better by himself if he worked some wit. some snap, into his acting. Did he think Jefferson's heroism would Robert Townsend plays a superhero who tries to save his community in "The Meteor Man."

be undercut by a little humor? It would have made him more heroic. A lot of funny pop in and out of "The Meteor people, not always to best advantage. Bill Cosby has a cameo as a homeless man who also encounters the magical meteor, but most of his role appears to have ended up on the cutting room floor. His presence in the film is largely ceremonial he seems to be onscreen in order to endorse Townsend's agenda. Sinbad has a funny bit in a hospital and, as a battle-ax nurse, Lawanda Page is in great glowering What does a child learn from a slap? DEAR ABBY: As a child advocate for a battered women's and children's shelter, I would like to commend you for sticking to your re-.
sponse to the man who slapped his 14-year-old son across the face for calling him a filthy name. I have read the many letters you received from people who supported and justified the slap. Thanks for not backing down! I would also like to add something that is posted in our shelter concerning this subject: "When Parents Hit a Child, They Are Teaching the Following: Might makes right. People who love you hurt you, therefore love hurts. Power and control get you what you want in life.

Resentment, hatred, denial and Artist The older it gets, the prettier it gets," he said, recalling the day the CEO of Lexington Furniture, Jeff Young, visited his studio, a restored 1809 barn, and envisioned what became known as The Bob Timberlake Collection. The barn walls were hung with Timberlake's country watercolors, rag rugs made 1 by "everybody's" Aunt Sally graced the floors, and handmade toys, quilts and coverlets were strewn on antique furniture he'd inherited or collected in his lifetime in the Lexington, N.C., area.

that he didn't want to leave, that he was invited and was really welcome," said Timberlake. "This feeling has filtered down to the guy sawing the wood for the furniture. "I could share this wonderful, warm feeling through my paintings, but then I found I could share it in a humongous way. "We've been mighty lucky. We were just trying to share a feeling we had at my studio, and it's been a dream come true.
It's like the difference between laughing by yourself or with somebody," he said. Timberlake began his artistic career in 1970, after he was introduced to the work of Andrew Wyeth, "The Master of American Realism." According to Lexington Furniture folklore, Wyeth told him, "I don't form. Rap artist Big Daddy Kane turns up as one of the Lords, and so do Naughty by Nature, Biz Markie and Cypress Hill.

DEAR ABBY: I just read the letter from "Her Grandfather in Scottsdale," who complained because his grandchildren, who were old enough to write, never acknowledged the gifts he sent. This provoked smiles and fond memories for me. Every childhood Christmas was the same in my family. Our living room was strewn with shredded paper, red and green ribbons, children playing, with toys while my mother waded through it all with a notebook and pencil in hand, listing who had given what to whom. Immediately after Christmas, Mother would get us all seated at the dining room table and hand us each a list she had made, along with stationery, envelopes, addresses, pens and postage stamps.
We were not allowed to get up from the table until i know what business you're in, Bob, but you should channel your talent into art." He applied himself to painting country scenes in watercolors, and quickly began having successful exhibitions in galleries and museums across the country and in Japan. The official Keep America Beautiful artist since 1975, he's designed postage stamps and written three books: "The Bob Timberlake Collection," a $600 book done in collaboration with journalist Charles Kuralt in 1977; "The World of Bob Timberlake," which outsold every other art book produced in the United States in 1979; and "Somewhere in Time," a 1989 autobiographical art book. "I'm continually surprised and amazed by this success. Somebody up there likes me," he said. 2781 Euclid Hts.
