INTRODUCTION "If in past summers Hollywood seemed to surrender its creative soul to the making of sequels, prequels, spinoffs, remakes and franchise films based on comic books, television series or video games, take a deep breath and prepare for the summer of 2002."1 With these words, the New York Times' Rick Lyman dubbed this past summer "the summer of the spinoff."2 Although it is most apparent in the movie theater, mass media art of all types in the United States is becoming increasingly derivative.

  • 1 Practicing Your Faith: Trust That You Are
    Practicing Your Faith: Trust That You Are Gifted 1 Corinthians 12 February 28, 2016 Rev. Pen Peery First Presbyterian Church, Charlotte, NC Throughout the past two weeks and for the next few weeks we have been talking about what it means…not just to talk about our faith, but to practice it. We’ve encouraged you to worship every chance you get, and to be a steward…or be generous. Today I am lifting up a third practice of faith: to trust that you are gifted. Another way to say this is the church needs you. That God intends for you to use your life in service, and so God had graced you with gifts. You have a role to play in the redemptive work of God’s story. So trust that you are gifted. Our scripture reading continues from Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth. I am reading from the 12th chapter: +++ Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? But strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. +++ I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And doggone it, people like me. Before he was a United States Senator from Minnesota, Al Franken played the character of Stuart Smalley on Saturday Night Live who signed off of his “Daily Affirmations” show with that quote.

Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), May 2012, 110 pp., references, 122 titles. This thesis examines if and how the Internet viewers of Saturday Night Live skits were influenced by the video skits. The viewers’ online comments were read, categorized and analyzed for content to explore and discuss how the viewers “read” the text of the online video skits. Each video in which candidates John McCain, Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama appeared is summarized and analyzed through viewers’ comments. A sample of skits including actors’ portrayals of McCain, Palin, Clinton, Obama and Joe Biden is also summarized and analyzed to find and discuss how the viewers’ perceptions were influenced by the portrayals.

    SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE AND PHILOSOPHY ffirs_UK.indd 1 08-01-2020 21:06:50 The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series Series editor William Irwin A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy helping of popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has had a public relations problem for a few centuries now. This series aims to change that, showing that philosophy is relevant to your life—and not just for answering the big questions like “To be or not to be?” but for answering the little questions: “To watch or not to watch South Park?” Thinking deeply about TV, movies, and music doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.” In fact it might make you a philosopher, someone who believes the unexamined life is not worth living and the unexamined cartoon is not worth watching.

  • Did Voting Felons Give Democrats the Senate?
    Did voting felons give Democrats the Senate? excerpted from the August 2010 edition of Christian Crusade Newspaper now in our 58th year of publication ~ www.ChristianCrusade.com Billy James Hargis II, publisher ~ Keith Wilkerson, managing editor Was Minnesota’s junior U.S. Senator Al Franken elected by felons who voted illegally? That’s the contention of a conservative watchdog group that compared convict records with polling place sign-in sheets. It took six months and multiple appeals before the Minnesota State Supreme Court to turn the Saturday Night Live comedian from New York into a U.S. senator from Minnesota. However, his election was vital to the political agenda of Barack Obama since it gave the Democrats the 60 Senators needed to break any Republican filibuster. After all appeals protesting his questionable election were exhausted in a six-month battle, he finally was seated on July 7, 2009, prompting the Wall Street Journal to proclaim that “Franken now goes to the Senate having effectively stolen an election.” The final official count showed Franken beat his Republican opponent, Norman Coleman, by 312 votes. In the initial vote, Coleman had won by more than 700 votes. Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race. Volunteers matched publicly available lists of convicts with voting records. Over 18 months, the group matched conviction lists with poll rosters, where voters sign in before going into the voting booth, and matched them by hand. Their findings have been ignored by both the Democrat-controlled U.S.
