Jul 05, 2006 23:00 BST Is it a Bird?…..Is it a Plane?…..No, it’s a 125mph tilting train! A Virgin Trains’ Pendolino adorned in a unique and eye catching livery to promote the forthcoming release of Warner Bros’ Pictures Superman Returns was unveiled at London’s Euston station today. Combining scenes from the new movie with Virgin Trains’ own branding the travelling billboard will be seen in cities such as Birmingham, London, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Carlisle, Preston and Coventry for the next six months. This is the first time a domestic inter-city train has been used to carry an exterior advertisement across the country. The Pendolino’s high-speed capability over long distances fits well with Superman’s traditional attributes of strength and speed. Pendolino no. 390 029 has been carefully prepared by maintenance company Alstom’s staff at Wembley Traincare Depot. High adhesive vinyls were painstakingly applied to the sides of the 217m nine-coach train with the help of specialist company Halo Rail who also manufactured the vinyls. The train’s first public journey saw it forming the 10 35 service from Euston to Manchester Piccadilly including a brief scheduled call at Stoke on Trent, the city after which the Pendolino is named. Agencies may be evaluating this new venture with interest. In a sometimes crowded and predictable market place advertisers are always looking for new “cut-throughs” to try and grab the public’s attention. A high-speed inter-city train travelling across the country offers leading brands an alternative and very different way of spreading their messages. Craig Inglis, Sales and Marketing Director for Virgin Trains said today: “We are very pleased to be working with Warner Bros Pictures on promoting Superman Returns. The characteristics of Virgin Trains and Superman fit very well in terms of speed and long distances and will resonate in a positive way with all the thousands of people who will see and travel in the train over the next six months. Superman Returns starring Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth and directed by Bryan Singer will open at cinemas nationwide on July 14th.

Search Kate Bosworth Now Co-Owns a Native American- Inspired Fine Jewelry Line hen you’ve been designated the all-too-lofty title of “It girl,” every fashionable move you make carries much weight. So goes it for Kate Bosworth, whose red-carpet moves have been as closely watched W as her off-duty style. Instead of being the face of a brand, Bosworth is taking a more strategic role in her latest venture with Ambyr Childers Jewelry. “I only take on collaboration opportunities where I feel an authentic connection to the brand,” Bosworth told Style.com. “Whether it be my work with Topshop, upstarting JewelMint, or working with Ambyr, there must be a point of view between us that feels exciting enough to share with consumers.” As part owner of the fine jewelry line together with actress Ambyr Childers, Bosworth’s approaching the project as she would any new role. “With any artistic venture—whether it be a film or a fashion—it is essential to create from a place of authenticity. Perception is essentially out of my control, but I must feel proud of the work in order to stand behind it.” converted by Web2PDFConvert.com The 22-piece collection draws on Childers’ own Native American heritage to inform each design. “It is a culture that has always loved and respected the Earth and every living thing on it. And I want to convey that inspiration through the symbols and their rich meaning to those who wear my jewelry,” Childers explained. The debut collection launching for Spring ’15 includes 14-karat gold with stones of the precious and semiprecious variety, including diamonds, pink opal, obsidian, and lapis, designed into recognizable symbols such as arrowheads, sun rays, and bows and arrows.

“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 ..........................................................................................................................
