  • From Disney to Disaster: the Disney Corporation’S Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks
    From Disney to Disaster: The Disney Corporation’s Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks BY Kelsey N. Reese Spring 2021 WMNST 492W: Senior Capstone Seminar Dr. Jill Wood Reese 2 INTRODUCTION The popularized phrase “celebrity trainwreck” has taken off in the last ten years, and the phrase actively evokes specified images (Doyle, 2017). These images usually depict young women hounded by paparazzi cameras that are most likely drunk or high and half naked after a wild night of partying (Doyle, 2017). These girls then become the emblem of celebrity, bad girl femininity (Doyle, 2017; Kiefer, 2016). The trainwreck is always a woman and is usually subject to extra attention in the limelight (Doyle, 2017). Trainwrecks are in demand; almost everything they do becomes front page news, especially if their actions are seen as scandalous, defamatory, or insane. The exponential growth of the internet in the early 2000s created new avenues of interest in celebrity life, including that of social media, gossip blogs, online tabloids, and collections of paparazzi snapshots (Hamad & Taylor, 2015; Mercer, 2013). What resulted was 24/7 media access into the trainwreck’s life and their long line of outrageous, commiserable actions (Doyle, 2017). Kristy Fairclough coined the term trainwreck in 2008 as a way to describe young, wild female celebrities who exemplify the ‘good girl gone bad’ image (Fairclough, 2008; Goodin-Smith, 2014). While the coining of the term is rather recent, the trainwreck image itself is not; in their book titled Trainwreck, Jude Ellison Doyle postulates that the trainwreck classification dates back to feminism’s first wave with Mary Wollstonecraft (Anand, 2018; Doyle, 2017).

  • Good Morning, Midnight
    GOOD MORNING, MIDNIGHT Written by Mark L Smith Based on the novel by Lily Brooks-Dalton August 3, 2018 FROM A BLACK SCREEN - WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A ROARING STORM... SURROUNDING US... ALMOST DEAFENING. SUPER: March 24th, 2034. Four Days After The Event. FADE IN: EXT. ARCTIC CIRCLE - DUSK ANGLE ON AUGUSTINE, (70), heavy winter coat, weathered face covered in gray stubble, standing at the center of a violent blizzard, peering upward. The deep lines on his face are from squinting, not smiling. Augustine doesn’t smile. Snow swirls all around him... that storm THUNDERING. Then we see what’s causing this storm... a large, MILITARY- STYLE HELICOPTER is rising into the dim dusk-blue arctic sky. We can make out the SILHOUETTES OF FIGURES in the windows. Augustine watches it ascend. The snowstorm around him settles... the THUNDER OF THE HELICOPTER FADES. The helicopter continues rising... JOINING SEVERAL OTHER COPTERS further above... already bending into formation. This is a LARGE EVACUATION. MOSELY (O.S.) Still time to change your mind! Augustine looks over to MASON MOSELY, (60s), striding across a path in the snow toward him. Beyond Mosely there’s a LAST HELICOPTER still grounded on the FLAGGED LANDING AREA... MEN, WOMEN, and a FEW CHILDREN HURRIEDLY FILING IN. MOSELY (CONT’D) Transferring the last of the outpost families, but still some open seats. Augustine shakes his head... looks back to all those helicopters dotting the sky. AUGUSTINE Like a race to see who can die first. Mosely moves beside Augustine... shares the view. 2. AUGUSTINE (CONT’D) There’s nothing left out there for them.

And much in between. This List mostly silent on subjects on which we’ve heard enough. Sent with love and ardent wishes for a much-improved year ahead. 2020 Books: Fiction 22. Ernest Cline, Ready Player Two. Fans of original (me, yep) will thrill to the story continued. 21. Curtis Sittenfield, Rodham. Brilliant conceit—Hillary spurns Bill, her/America’s future unspools much differently—runs out of steam over latter third, but ‘A’ for imagination. 20. Carl Hiaasen, Squeeze Me. Signature madcap Hiaasen/S-Florida joint, topically timely. 19. Jeanine Cummins, American Dirt. Riveting & violent borderland tale. 18. Lily King, Writers & Lovers. “I have a pact with myself not to think about money in the morning.” Heroine(ish) Casey wonderfully drawn; reminder that Gen Xers had ¼-life crises too. 17. Cara Black, Three Hours in Paris. 2nd-best thriller of a year when escapism mattered most. 16. Chip Schorr, The After. Best thriller—and by a newcomer to the genre, no less! 15.

  • Centaur Records Will Be Releasing the Romances and Poems of Sergey Ivanovich Taneyev (1856-1915) Later This Year
    Centaur Records will be releasing The Romances and Poems of Sergey Ivanovich Taneyev (1856-1915) later this year. The translations for all 36 songs can be found below. Unless otherwise indicated, all translations are by Aleksey Berg, to whom I give my deepest thanks and appreciation. Poems which were originally written in English appear below in their original form. Opus 17, No. 1 The Isle Percy Bysshe Shelley (Russian translation by Konstantin Balmont) There was a little lawny islet By anemone and violet, Like mosaic, paven: And its roof was flowers and leaves Which the summer’s breath enweaves, Where not sun nor showers nor breeze Pierce the pines and tallest trees, Each a gem engraven;-- Girt by many an azure wave With which the clouds and mountains pave A lake’s blue chasm. 17/2 My thoughts arise and fade in solitude Percy Bysshe Shelley (Konstantin Balmont) My thoughts arise and fade in solitude, The verse that would invest them melts away Like moonlight in the heaven of spreading day; How beautiful they were, how firm they stood, Flecking the starry sky like woven pearl! 17/3 Music when soft voices die Percy Bysshe Shelley (Konstantin Balmont) Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory; Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heaped for the beloved’s bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou are gone, Love itself shall slumber on. 1 17/4 That time is dead forever, child! Percy Bysshe Shelley (Konstantin Balmont) That time is dead forever, child! Drowned, frozen, dead forever! We look on the past And stare aghast At the spectres wailing, pale and ghast, Of hopes that thou and I beguiled To death on life’s dark river.
