Town Cryer tells all!...well, almost.By 80s BoyCryer leaves few stones unturned in this engaging trip down 80s-00s lane. Yes, there's the expected PIP and TAAHM fodder, but you can't help but love a guy that also focuses on the debacles of his quick fall from grace. "Morgan Stewart's Coming Home" (not the original title), "Superman IV", "Dudes", and his many pilots gone by are also nicely explored. And so is Demi Moore. And so is this guy's sex life! Yep, you pretty much get all access to Jon's escapades...perhaps approaching an awkward "TMI" level for some, but I survived.This was perhaps influenced by the fact that Cryer -- though a film and television legend (ok, that's pushing it) -- very much retains an "everyman" status, despite his fame and fortune. You get the sense that despite being something of a high-profile performer, that there was a still an unacceptance, a loneliness to his success. From the stories of people on set, to parties attended and elbows rubbed, that he was never truly embraced by the Hollywood community. Now keeping his nose clean (in a very literal sense, unlike his co-star Chuck "Party Ma"-Sheen) and maintaining a good-ole-boy reputation obviously kept his cache at a certain height, but you do sense a tangible loss in his demeanor because of this. That being squeaky-clean doesn't always lend to better personal results in an entertainment realm. Yes, bland is boring. But this is what drew me in a bit deeper, because that's basically myself -- minus the cameras and money.But most who enjoy a good backstage pass to anything 80s should gobble this up, as well as turmoil-salivating memoir seekers interested in all the TAAHM circus. Though outside of Sheen, Cryer barely explores his relationship with his other co-stars of that particular show. And the book ends pre-TAAHM conclusion.Great pictures throughout his life are included.Plus the guy is a great handshake! (met him after a TAAHM taping a zillion years ago)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It made me laugh it made me "Cry/er"By Andy HunterWhen this book came out - I started to follow Cryer on Twitter. The book was getting rave reviews on Twitter. It took me sometime before I purchased it, but as he began to like some of my posts on Twitter, I decided I would purchase it. I bought the DVD's with him reading it. I am glad I did it because it makes his story better. I will tell you that it was much more expensive than I realized it would be, but the book has brought so much pleasure, it was worth the money. He really give you glimpses into his life, which is actually quite interesting. If you were a 2 1/2 Men fan - he talks quite a bit about the show and what happened with Charlie Sheen. There are moments where I was laughing hysterically and a couple where it was actually quite sad. Highly recommend this book - especially if you have followed his career from Pretty in Pink to Men.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. He remains now and will always be a Duckman.By Joy SteinmillerFunny and poignant.Fast paced, it felt as if you're sitting and chatting with Jon as he regaled you with stories of growing up in New York during the 1970's and 1980's. How he became the Duckman and eventually Alan Harper.Before reading this I was a HUGE Duckie fan, and enjoyed watching Jon. Now I love the Duck (of course), but I've discovered a new found respect of Jon and the way he took Charlie Sheen's obnoxious and atrocious behavior, in stride. He rose above and showed what a good heart he has. THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe Emmy-winning star of Two and a Half Men opens up in this warmly endearing and frankly funny memoir about life in Hollywood. If it can happen in show business, itrsquo;s happened to Jon Cryer. Now hersquo;s opening up and sharing his behind-the-scenes stories in a warmly endearing, sharply observed, and frankly funny look at life in Hollywood. In 1986, Jon Cryer won over America as Molly Ringwaldrsquo;s loyal and lovable best friend, Duckie, in Pretty in Pinkmdash;a role that set the tone for his three- decades-long career in Hollywood. He went on to establish himself as one of the most talented comedic actors in the business, ultimately culminating in his award-winning turn as Alan Harper on the massively popular sitcom Two and a Half Men. Now Cryer charts his extraordinary journey, illuminating his many triumphs and some missteps along the way. Filled with exclusive behind-the-scenes anecdotes and his experiences with some of the biggest and most provocative names in the business, including Charlie Sheen, John Hughes, Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore, and Christopher Reeve, Cryer offers his own endearing perspective on Hollywood, the business at large, and the art of acting. This revealing, humorous, and introspective memoir is a front-row seat to Jonrsquo;s life and experiences in showbiz over the past thirty years. ldquo;Completely entertaining. Cryer addresses Charlie Sheenrsquo;s fall from grace to the readerrsquo;s satisfaction, but the real gems are the insightful, self-deprecating tales from Cryerrsquo;s own career, from Pretty in Pink to Two and a Half Menrsquo;s twelve-year-run.rdquo;mdash;GQ nbsp; ldquo;A wry, self-deprecating and funny memoir that covers [Cryerrsquo;s] thirty-five-year career.rdquo;mdash;The Hollywood ReporterAbout the AuthorJon Cryer is an Emmy-winning actor, screenwriter, director, and producer, best known for his work in John Hughesrsquo;s Pretty in Pink and as Alan Harper on CBSrsquo;s Two and a Half Men. He lives in Los Angeles.Excerpt. copy; Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.A Note on the Use of ProfanityWhen I started this book I truly believed that I did not curse very much. That I added a dash of salty language to a slab of comedic irony only when it was urgently necessary. For flavor. But the process of writing it has brought me to the realization that what I tend to offer up is actually a sodium-packed canned ham of expletives of dubious necessity. For that Irsquo;m desperately sorry. Irsquo;ve endeavored to reduce their use wherever possible, but Irsquo;m afraid many remain. If you purchased this book hoping itrsquo;d be appropriate to read for your ldquo;Family Showbiz Bio Reading Night,rdquo; I suggest you take this moment to reconsider.Prologueldquo;Goddammit.rdquo;ldquo;Cut, cut, cut!rdquo;The director yanks off his headphones and wearily barks, ldquo;Irsquo;m pretty sure doves donrsquo;t shit sideways! Am I right? Anybody?!rdquo;The special-effects guy (Allen, I think) is at a loss for words. Really, how does one respond to that question? The cast, dressed in tasteless formal wear for a mideighties suburban American wedding, break character and start to mill about restlessly.There is a moment of tense silence while some of us consider a reply to the directorrsquo;s odd dove query. But fortunately, our fearless leader breaks the tension by answering himself. ldquo;Thatrsquo;s what I thought.rdquo;We are shooting outside a wedding chapel in Phoenix, Arizona, during the summer of 1983, and itrsquo;s incredibly, unbearably, fucktastically hot. My white polyester tux is sodden with sweat and adhering to every contour of my body. The reason Bob, our director, is asking about the physics of bird ejecta is because in this particular shot, the animal wranglers were supposed to release some doves, and when those doves flew over the wedding party, they were supposed to shit on us as we exited the chapel. Sadly, the actual doves, ignorant of their cue, indifferent to the wishes of the director, as well as unconcerned about their chance at screen stardom, did not cooperate and empty their bowels upon us.So the special effects guy (ninety-five percent sure itrsquo;s Allen), ever resourceful, had jury-rigged an elaborate backup system of pressurized containers to squirt fake dove poo on the wedding party from either side of the camera. But no matter how he tried, said poo would rain onto the partiers with a noticeably wide arc. This made Bob unhappy. Apparently he felt any discerning moviegoer would immediately notice the craprsquo;s flight path, and their sense of cinematic verisimilitude would be forever compromised. Bob was turning out to be the Stanley Kubrick of turd-trajectory perfectionists.Not that Bob is being an asshole about it. He seems irritated, yet kind of amused. The Bob in question is actually a Robert: Robert Altman, the acclaimed director of MASH, Nashville, and McCabe Mrs. Miller. So if any director has earned the right to be an asshole about doves shitting on people, itrsquo;d be him.The movie is O.C.

  • "Teen Mom" Tv Shows & Stigma Around Young Parents
    "teen mom" tv shows & stigma around young parents Creators of reality shows such as Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant say they are intended to prevent young pregnancy and parenting, but their greatest effect may be to increase stigma on pregnant and parenting youth. MTV’s hit reality shows 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom were produced with an agenda of preventing teen pregnancy by displaying a carefully constructed image of early-age parenting. Analyses of this media have found that the structure and content of the series minimize social inequities that often underlie young parenting. Some health promotion groups have partnered with such shows to try to provide health education to young viewers. Service Co-parenting Providers WHAT WE DID Grandmothers (26) (9) This analysis was part of a larger study of the experiences of young parents in Western Canada.

    The Criminal Justice Conversations Podcast with David Onek Episode #5: Sunny Schwartz, Author, “Dreams From the Monster Factory, (March 3, 2010) Listen at www.law.berkeley.edu/cjconversations DAVID ONEK: Welcome to the Criminal Justice Conversations podcast, a coproduction of the Berkeley Center for Criminal Justice and the Berkeley School of Journalism. I’m your host, David Onek. The podcast, recorded weekly in the Berkeley School of Journalism studios, features in-depth interviews with a wide range of criminal justice leaders: law enforcement officials, policymakers, advocates, service providers, academics, and others. The podcast gets behind the sound bites that far too often dominate the public dialogue about criminal justice to have detailed, nuanced conversations about criminal justice policy. Today’s guest is Sunny Schwartz, author of Dreams from the Monster Factory: A Tale of Prison, Redemption, and One Woman’s Fight to Restore Justice for All. Schwartz is a nationally recognized expert on criminal justice reform with over 25 1 years of hands-on experience in the San Francisco criminal justice system. Schwartz and her colleagues created the Resolve to Stop the Violence project, or RSVP, an internationally recognized, award-winning restorative justice program that brings together traditionally opposing groups in order to comprehensively confront the costs of violence. An evaluation of RSVP determined that participants who were in the program for four months had a violent crime re-arrest rate 80% lower than those in a control group. RSVP earned a prestigious Innovations in American Government Award from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, and PBS.
