BumBling his way through life with his loyal companion, Dennis the dog, Neil spends his days ignoring his class, avoiding the head teacher and lusting after his neighBour Catherine. But when Neil discovers he can make absolutely anything happen...will he waste it on making Dennis talk, creating a cult that worships his best mate Ray and, of course, a little ‘self-improvement’ or will he ultimately step up, save the world and get the girl? 3 Bill & Ben Productions Ltd January 2012 Absolutely Anything Positioning ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING is a Sci-Fi fantasy comedy with a love story at its core.

From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

  • MONTY PYTHON at 50 , a Month-Long Season Celebra
    Tuesday 16 July 2019, London. The BFI today announces full details of IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50, a month-long season celebrating Monty Python – their roots, influences and subsequent work both as a group, and as individuals. The season, which takes place from 1 September – 1 October at BFI Southbank, forms part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the beloved comedy group, whose seminal series Monty Python’s Flying Circus first aired on 5th October 1969. The season will include all the Monty Python feature films; oddities and unseen curios from the depths of the BFI National Archive and from Michael Palin’s personal collection of super 8mm films; back-to-back screenings of the entire series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in a unique big-screen outing; and screenings of post-Python TV (Fawlty Towers, Out of the Trees, Ripping Yarns) and films (Jabberwocky, A Fish Called Wanda, Time Bandits, Wind in the Willows and more). There will also be rare screenings of pre-Python shows At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set, both of which will be released on BFI DVD on Monday 16 September, and a free exhibition of Python-related material from the BFI National Archive and The Monty Python Archive, and a Python takeover in the BFI Shop. Reflecting on the legacy and approaching celebrations, the Pythons commented: “Python has survived because we live in an increasingly Pythonesque world. Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was.” IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50 programmers Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy said: “We are delighted to share what is undoubtedly one of the most absurd seasons ever presented by the BFI, but even more delighted that it has been put together with help from the Pythons themselves and marked with their golden stamp of silliness.

    00:00:00 Jesse Host Hey, Bullseye listeners. It is Jesse. So, we got the unfortunate Thorn news, this week, that Terry Jones passed away. Obviously, like any other self-respecting comedy nerd, I grew up obsessed with Monty Python and I also grew up obsessed with a book that Terry Jones wrote, called Fairy Tales—which is beautiful and still in print. And so, for that reason, when I had the opportunity to interview Terry Jones, I was genuinely… terrified. [Laughs.] Like, I—when people ask me, sometimes, if I’m nervous about doing interviews, I say, “No,” and I—that’s generally true. Like, unless I haven’t had the time I’d like to prepare or something like that. I generally feel fine about my interviews, you know. People are people, and so forth. But I vividly remember being in my apartment in Koreatown, where I—from which I recorded this interview—and looking at my finger as I was dialing the phone and realizing that it was actually, literally shaking. [Laughs.] Anyway, this conversation was one of the things that convinced me that I needn’t be nervous about interviews, because Terry Jones was such a brilliant and hilarious, but ultimately lovely and kind man, as well. It was so nice of him to do this interview on my show, when very few people listened to my show. And it is one of the greatest highlights of my career. So, in memory of a great artist and a kind man, my conversation from almost 14 years ago—2006.

    ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES OCTOBER – DECEMBER PRESS LISTINGS OCTOBER 2013 PRESS LISTINGS MIX NYC PRESENTS: Tommy Goetz A BRIDE FOR BRENDA 1969, 62 min, 35mm MIX NYC, the producer of the NY Queer Experimental Film Festival, presents a special screening of sexploitation oddity A BRIDE FOR BRENDA, a lesbian-themed grindhouse cheapie set against the now-tantalizing backdrop of late-60s Manhattan. Shot in Central Park, Times Square, the Village, and elsewhere, A BRIDE FOR BRENDA narrates (quite literally – the story is told via female-voiced omniscient narration rather than dialogue) the experiences of NYC-neophyte Brenda as she moves into an apartment with Millie and Jane. These apparently unremarkable roommates soon prove themselves to be flesh-hungry lesbians, spying on Brenda as she undresses, attempting to seduce her, and making her forget all about her paramour Nick (and his partners in masculinity). As the narrator intones, “Once a young girl has been loved by a lesbian, it’s difficult to feel satisfaction from a man again.” –Thurs, Oct 3 at 7:30. TAYLOR MEAD MEMORIAL SCREENING Who didn’t love Taylor Mead? Irrepressible and irreverent, made of silly putty yet always sharp- witted, he was an underground icon in the Lower East Side and around the world. While THE FLOWER THIEF put him on the map, and Andy Warhol lifted him to Superstardom, Taylor truly made his mark in the incredibly vast array of films and videos he made with notables and nobodies alike. A poster child of the beat era, Mead was a scene-stealer who was equally vibrant on screen, on stage, or in a café reading his hilarious, aphoristic poetry.

The cinematic adaptation of a medieval artifact such as the Bayeux Tapestry suggests that history, whether located in the archive, museum, or movie medievalism, always has a more or less obscure and parodic fl ip side, and that history, written or cinematic, tells a narrative disturbed by uncanny hauntings

Dissertação apresentada ao Programa de Pós- Graduação em Ciências das Religiões da Universidade Federal da Paraíba como requisito para a obtenção do título Mestre em Ciências das Religiões. Linha de pesquisa: Abordagens filosóficas, históricas e fenomenológicas das religiões. Orientador: Prof. Dr. Johnni Langer. João Pessoa 2019 RESUMO O mito Ragnarök, encontrada na fonte mitográfica Edda Poética, desperta a curiosidade sobre escatologia nórdica. Dessa forma, buscou-se analisar o as representações e manifestações do mito partido desse pressuposto. Propomos compreender como se difundiu a ideia de fim do mundo dentro das representações sociais, culturais, artísticas e religiosas. Ao penetrarmos no espaço mitológico, se procurou entender como o mito do Ragnarök foi apropriado pela sociedade atual. Ao pesquisarmos por essa ótica perceberemos como o mito nórdico se (re)configurou e tornou-se comum na sociedade contemporânea. Essa narrativa mitografica dos Vikings, foi impulsionada com a popularização das mídias no final do século XXI. A popularização do mito, caracterizou os povos Vikings de maneira alegórica e homogênea. Diante desta homogeneização das mídias sobre os Vikings investigaremos como foram construídos seus estereótipos e como eles são representados no cinema. Esta investigação parte de um estudo aprofundado entre as ciências das religiões, as representações e manifestações do mito e sua caraterização sociocultural e histórica.
