    Pulp Fiction © Jami Bernard The A List: The National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films, 2002 When Quentin Tarantino traveled for the first time to Amsterdam and Paris, flush with the critical success of “Reservoir Dogs” and still piecing together the quilt of “Pulp Fiction,” he was tickled by the absence of any Quarter Pounders with Cheese on the European culinary scene, a casualty of the metric system.

  • Smörgåsbord: Award Show Scandals
    Smörgåsbord: Award Show Scandals Every year, media award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, and Oscars recognize the hard work put into a wide array of diverse movies, TV shows, songs, and albums. However, no event is perfect, and the mass anticipation for each show ensures that every rare on-stage slip-up is bound to make headlines is made that much more memorable when it occurs. With the 2018 Academy Awards having just recently passed, here’s a quick highlight reel of some of the most famous fumbles forever enshrined in award show history. La La Land Smörgåsbord: Award Show Scandals graphic by Amanda Shi An Oscar is one of the highest honors possible for a work of media. And of course, the more serious the award, the more shocking the slip-up, and there can be no greater (and thus unforgettable) mistake in an Oscars award show than presenting the wrong winner. In an absolutely unprecedented, history-making moment at the 89th Academy Awards, La La Land Smörgåsbord: Award Show Scandals was mistakenly called as winner of Best Picture. An envelope mix-up was to blame for starting the misunderstanding; the Best Actress in a Leading Role envelope had somehow been swapped with the Best Picture envelope. Warren Beatty had known something was wrong when he opened the card and read ‘Emma Stone, La La Land’, but he hadn’t known how to respond to such an unexpected scenario. In his confusion, he attempted to stall for time by pausing in between words, but both the audience and his co-presenter Faye Dunaway interpreted it as him deliberately building suspense.

One enormous orphanhood, One enormous emptiness. ‘At the Crossroads’ by Yu Baltrushaitis 2 PART I SETTING: The food court of a shopping mall. Everything is artificial and plastic. In each part of the play, there are cliques of mannequins lounging in various poses—eating, walking, shopping, talking on the cell phone, etc. Gradually, the mannequins begin to appear more and more like MIMI. This transformation should be subtle, until, by the end of the play, everyone is absolutely identical. AT RISE: MIMI and BEBE are seated at a café table. MIMI and BEBE are best friends. It should be difficult to determine if they are adolescents or adults. Their costumes should be outrageous, cutting-edge eccentric, but bordering on bad taste. MIMI is deeply troubled, suffering from a severe anxiety attack. She is downcast and haggard, as if she hasn’t slept in several days. BEBE, on the other hand, is bright and chipper and eagerly browses through her magazine. The sterile sound of muzak occupies the air. BEBE Clooney or Cruise? MIMI Clooney. BEBE George Clooney or Daniel Craig? MIMI George Clooney. BEBE George Clooney or Brad Pitt? (Both giggle.) BEBE & MIMI Brad Pitt. BEBE Brad Pitt or Bradley Cooper? MIMI Brad Pitt.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................
