  • Idle Hour: Noho's Beloved Barrel Reborn
    Idle Hour: NoHo's Beloved Barrel Reborn By Alysia Gray Painter http://www.nbclosangeles.com/entertainment/the-scene/Idle-Hour-NoHos-Beloved- Barrel-Reborn-291527871.html NBC Los Angeles Says: If Los Angeles building styles could be viewed as members of a large and loopy family, roadside vernacular architecture, or programmatic architecture, if you prefer, would absolutely be the nutty cousin who balances spoons on his nose and sings songs backwards, all to garner attention and bring delight. It's the Cabazon dinosaurs and it's the bulldog-shaped diner seen in "The Rocketeer" and it's every outlandish vintage design conceived to catch the eyes, and cash, of early motorists. And it's the barrel-shaped structure near the appropriately attention- garnering North Hollywood intersection of Lankershim Boulevard, Vineland Avenue, and Camarillo Street. Yep, we speak of what was formerly La Caña Restaurant, or what's often called The Barrel, a long-closed gem which is getting another longed-for shot as an open-and-in- business business. But here's the twist: Idle Hour, the fresh handle for the bar, is actually its long-gone moniker. Surely you remember back in the 1940s when it was called The Idle Hour Cafe & Tap Room, yes? La Caña came later, and then, after it was long closed, a designation to save the not-looking-too-great spot: Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument #977. That's a fair estimation, yes? If you strolled by the structure in recent years, you likely thought, or voiced, that it had "seen better days" (or some other "someone should save this place" lamentation).

    Working Paper Series SPECIAL ISSUE: REVISITING AUDIENCES: RECEPTION, IDENTITY, TECHNOLOGY Superheroes and Shared Universes: How Fans and Auteurs Are Transforming the Hollywood Blockbuster Edmund Smith University of Otago Abstract: Over the course of the 2000s, the Hollywood blockbuster welcomed the superhero genre into its ranks after these films saw an explosion in popularity. Now, the ability to produce superhero films through an extended transmedia franchise is a coveted prize for major studios. The likes of Sony, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. are locked in competition with the new kid on the block, Marvel, who changed the way Hollywood produces the blockbuster franchise. Drawing upon my previous and current postgraduate work, this essay will discuss fans and authorship in relation to the superhero genre which, I posit, exemplifies the industrial model of the Hollywood blockbuster and the cycle of appropriation and revitalisation that defines it. I will explain how studios like Marvel call upon up-and-coming directorial talent to further legitimise their films in order to appeal to middlebrow expectations through auteur credibility. Such director selection demonstrates: 1) how the contemporary auteur has become commodified within transmedia franchise blockbusters and, 2) how, due to the conflicting creative and commercial interests inherent to the blockbuster, these films are now supported by a form of co-dependent authorship. Related to this, I will also explore how fans function within this industrial context and the effect that their fannish support and promotion of superhero films has had on the latter’s viability as a staple of studio production. ISSN2253-4423 © MFCO Working Paper Series 3 MFCO Working Paper Series 2017 Introduction From the 2000s, through to the present day, the superhero film has seen a titanic increase in popularity, becoming a staple of the mainstream film industry.

Cliff encounters an assortment of ruthless villains, led by a Hollywood screen star who's a secret Nazi spy Timothy Dalton. With the help of his actress girlfriend, the young pilot battles enormous odds to defeat his foes who are anxious to use the device in an evil plan to rule the world! The dangerous mission transforms the ordinary young man into an extraordinary hero! Director :. Joe Johnston. Producer :. Danny Bilson , Paul De Meo. Critics Consensus: An action-packed, if anachronistic, look back at pulp matinee serials, The Rocketeer may ring hollow with viewers expecting more than simple fun and gee-whiz special effects. Previous Gone With The Twins. September 24, Hollywood Jesus. April 1, Solzy at the Movies. December 2, The Spectator. July 19, Stevens was one of the most promising superstars in his field, his fluid inks praised by the likes of Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson. His ghost-duties on miscellaneous titles like Tarzan was enough to cement his reputation as artist extraordinaire. Obviously, he was not alone in his affection for the gentle adventure stories of yesteryear, because The Rocketeer has a fan-following that ranges from industry veterans to children. The fact that he was a notorious perfectionist also ensured that the stories trickled out slowly, and through different publishing houses, which meant fans had to track down the issues individually all these years.

Sa7a wa Hana, Enjoy your meal!" The song recording, produced by Beau Black, features vocals, piano, and an original melody/musical arrangement composed by singer-songwriter Leila Milki.

  • Bear Mccreary October 24, 2001 Jon Burlingame “The Rocketeer” an Analysis of the Film Score by James Horner When Music and F
    Bear McCreary October 24, 2001 Jon Burlingame “The Rocketeer” An Analysis of the Film Score by James Horner When music and film are combined in a way that both are expressive, rather than one completely serving another, the end result is an example of what cinema can truly achieve. One such film is “The Rocketeer,” released by Walt Disney Pictures in 1991. The film, directed by Joe Johnston, was based on the comic book by Dave Stevens. Set in Los Angeles, in 1938, the film focuses on a young pilot named Cliff Secord who inadvertantly discovers a secret rocket pack designed and built by Howard Hughes. Cliff first intends to use the rocket to make some money at the Air Show. However, he soon ends up being pursued by the mob, the FBI and a massive goon named Lothar who works for Neville Sinclair, a Hollywood movie star spying for the Nazis. James Horner composed the film’s music, a sweeping orchestral score in the tradition of action-swashbucklers of the 1930’s and 1940’s. While the approach to the score is very traditional, elements of it stand out against typical adventure film scores. The music in “The Rocketeer” is unusually energetic and dramatic. The score develops like a piece written for the concert stage. The mix of the score versus sound effects very often favors the music, a rare McCreary, 2 occurrence for action films, which tend to focus on explosions and other loud sounds to carry the dramatic impact. The result is that “The Rocketeer” is a strikingly musical movie.
