When stars smile or at least don't look like they're heading to an execution For Martin it's grueling work Counting prep time and staking out a position he has logged six hours in front of the Masonic Temple all of it standing on his feet and carrying that equipment At 11 pm Martin ponders leaving Has he gotten sellable Hamlet on a dimly lit stage Most teens say sorry with a shrug of the shoulder Dawson apologizes by saying "My behavior has been unredeemable" The others are just as poetic Take Jen whom Williams portrays with a kind of smoldering sexuality I haven't seen in 30- year-olds As she and Dawson are lip-locked on his bed and slowly making that dip to pay dirt she stops and quips "Repressing desire can only make it more powerful" Says Dawson: "If I can survive the wait" Jen: "It's not waiting Dawson It's anticipation" No wonder Joey slumped in a chair in an upcoming episode says at one point "All this subtext is making me tired" I know the feeling Brace yourself This is the Williamson touch His pop-horror films succeeded because they are bathed in similar soliloquy giving characters operatic language the result he says of young minds molded by media and a variety of information sources Dawson's Creek has gotten quite a reputation for chronicling the sex lives of its young characters most particularly the platonic sleepovers with Joey and Dawson The complexities of the Joey and Dawson relationship results in some of the most honest scenes to come out of a television series about teens since the lead character in James at 15 lost his virginity Still I see parents wanting their teen-agers to steer clear of this drama for fear they'll come up with their own sexual ideas And this is Williamson's beef To him to think the ideas aren't already there means you're probably already outside the teen-age Milnommw11ENoftwommenorooloo" 0: Star-Telegram wvmstar-telecroncom 1996-97 DFW Consumer Survey MOM Research Minneapolis thinks a Suzanne Somers shot will be a keeper and the smiling Se Heck photo will be a quick seller But leaving is tough You assess and obsess over what you got Or didn't get Martin doesn't seem nearly as bubbly as before He looks worn and ragged The cameras remain on his shoulders He starts wobbling toward his car a two-door Honda with a huge dent in the driver's side door He dumps his cameras inside the back and plops into the passenger side slinging himself over to the driver's seat He rolls down the window He looks like a blob of clay smashed inside a tiny container "I'm going to La Cachette" he says mentioning a popular restaurant an hour's drive away "I hear that'swhere Tom Say-der is having his anniversary party Should be some people there" Martin speeds off before getting the bad news: The party was four nights ago Ken Parish Perkins is the Star-Telegram television critic You can contact him at impestar-telegramcom land Park the seemingly mundane task of emptying the tr'ash was actually a nightmarish ritual that left her contemplating suicide "I thought there was something very odd wrong with me but I didn't know what to call it" said Gorden a 52-year-old homemaker Gorden thought the items she disposed of would "incriminate" her in some way She had to meticulously examine everything that went into the garbage "I spent many many hours going through the trash I would be up very late at night" she said "It was very difficult" She hid her behavior from her husband and two children Then late one night 13 years into her marriage her husband found her "I felt like a nut case" Gorden said "I had paper towels in my hand I had to shake them to make sure there was nothing in them to put them in the trash bag" Her husband was puzzled and confused Gorden was relieved "I was so tired by that point I wasn't going to lie and how could you lie your way out of that anyway?" Gorden finally found help through drug therapy and behavior modification techniques Now she wants people to know that people with OCD "don't choose to have this they don't do this for attention or pity It is so miserable to live this way" JOD US AT THE 1998 FORT WORTH STOCK SHOW AND RODEO OCD to A La: aa g0111 4 AA4 4' i 1 1 1 1 Lasso Source: 4 0 4' 4 It I WIU Continued from Page 1 town with some emotional baggage the least of which is her sexual history dating back to age 12 Not that everyone in this series isn't weighed down Dawson appears to have the perfectly bland suburban existence until spotting his mother's lips racing across the face of a man who isn't his father Pacey quickly falls into a dead-end love affair with his English teacher and poor Joey spends the first few episodes trying to sort out why Dawson's lust for Jen is making Joey suicidal If you think this is merely a series wallowing in soapish sorrow like the Party of Five gang then you're probably still one who thinks slasher films can't possibly be hip The intertwining story lines of Dawson's Creek move with a pace you could call refreshingly patient particularly after watching other young-angst serials such as Beverly Hills 90210 similar only in their casting of young white strikingly attractive people with shiny teeth Aside from the flaming hormones Dawson's Creek could be called a 90210 with brain cells offering the kind of authenticity you don't fin0 in teen dramas which often talk "down" to teens That's not a problem here Dawson's Creek's high schoolers make such extensive use of multi-syllable words and pop culture references that some will fly right over your head In explaining the most mundane things Dawson who works afternoons at a video store can sound like a graduate of a self-help seminar He uses metaphors eloquently When he gets on a roll as when his mother (Mary-Margaret Humes) disappoints him it's as though he's reciting Dawson 'Creek's female leads Holmes as Joey are a mix of fresh him it's as though he's reciting '1 I 7114 1 I i -'v A 1' '-'v 1 4 :4 44r i 1 I A 1 -lk vii: I Vi' 4 1 I fo It's the nation's oldest continually held livestock show and it's better than ever with world-class shows and sales for cattle sheep swine and horses With top pro-rodeo action we present the PRCA Contract Act of the Year plus entertainment from Broadway The ultimate for family enjoyment 30 rodeo performances $16 Friday nights and all weekend performances $14 Monday Thursday nights and weekday matinees Visit our web site at wvvwfwstockshowrodeocom Continued from Page 3 thinking about stabbing their baby although they would never actually do it and can't understand their thoughts Other people have violent thoughts about a beloved family pet Others obsess that a stove burner left on will burn down the house To relieve their anxiety over the thoughts sufferers turn to compulsive behaviors: "If I only kiss my baby five times these thoughts will go away" or "If I pet Fluffy then snap my fingers this will pass" or "Ill just check the stove one more time" By the time they complete the ritual the thought has passed Thus the person thinks that the ritual relieves the anxiety But the rituals come to rule their lives Marcene Star lin an Overland Park psychotherapist works with many OCD patients for whom each day is a struggle One local professional man cannot work because his OCD is so disabling "He starts out each morning by swinging his legs off the bed three times" Star lin said "He combs his hair three times He brushes his teeth three times His entire day everything must be done in multiples of three even pouring water into the coffeepot three times" For Ann Gorden of Over Rodeo Ticket Office open 8 am to 8 pm daily Cash only at curbside Box Office Will Rogers Coliseum Call (817) 877-2420 to charge on VISA or MasterCard Tickets also available at all Ticket Master locations call (214) 373-8000 or Metro (972) 647-5700 Convenience and other charges are added at Ticket Master locations and are nonrefundable loop looking in ri (0' 11tmt 1 A A '0' 1 I 1 NI: I i loop looking in Starlblegram GMC COMFORTABLY IN COMMAND 11111 Starlblegram GMC I ii'Marketplace A 6 i FORT WORTH STOCK SHOW Si RODEO Rogers CenterT January 21-February 8 r988 Star- Telegram We Williams left fts Jennifer and 1Catte young faces and striking sexuality NI.
