  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

Automatic Movie Analysis and Summarisation Philip John Gorinski I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract Automatic movie analysis is the task of employing Machine Learning methods to the field of screenplays, movie scripts, and motion pictures to facilitate or enable vari- ous tasks throughout the entirety of a movie’s life-cycle. From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

  • “It's All in My Head.”
    “It’s All in My Head.” The Top 300 Comedy Films of All-Time (in my opinion) my (in Esma relda Villa Lobos An Introduction Although the following is what I hope to be a comprehensive study guide on, in my opinion, the greatest comedy films of all time, if you happen to disagree with any of my critiques or choices throughout the course of reading this novel, please rest assured that this is by no means the last of these collections that I will assemble throughout my life and career. What started out as a list of ten became a list of twenty, twenty became fifty, fifty became one fifty, two hundred, two fifty and then finally three hundred. The pages are organized in descending order because what is the fun in giving away the best part fresh out the gate? I must admit that my final choices are altogether unsurprising, but frankly there is just no argument when it comes to the best of the best. I am certain your jaw will drop to the ground when you see some of the films that I have omitted (hint: you won’t find “Princess Bride” anywhere on this list) and I am also certain others will have you scratching your head and wondering “what?!” There are plenty of films on here that were bashed by “day-to-day” critics upon the time of their release, but since I am a “bigger picture” type of analyst, I find that these films, over time, show their worth and merit. If at any point in time you find yourself wondering, “how can I watch some of these films?” Well, if they aren’t available on Netflix, nine times out of ten you can rent them on Vudu for $2.99-$3.99 apiece.

  • Claims Department Robin Williams Robin Williams 1951 - 2014
    CLAIMS DEPARTMENT ROBIN WILLIAMS ROBIN WILLIAMS 1951 - 2014 Robin Williams was one of the defining comedians of the last three decades. His frenetic style helped change the way that stand-up was presented in the US, and then parlayed that into a career on television, and later in film..He was one of the funni- est men of all-time. I have no hesitation saying that. Depression. Substance abuse. He commit- ted suicide. I've dealt with depression, and many of those around me have fought it as well. It's a shame that so many talented people have to fight it, and sometimes, it wins. That's the greatest shame. This issue is dedicated to his memory and looks at his career in as many forms as I can come up with... ON LOCATION: This was where I first saw Robin Williams. At this point, he wasn't a huge name, but was on one of his first major tours. This special ROBIN WILLIAMS was played for years and years on HBO, often teamed with one – LIVE AT THE of the other comedy specials, or Eddie Murphy's RAW or Bill ROXY Cosby Himself, or one of Whoppi Goldberg's specials. I must (1978) have seen it five or six times in its entirety. It was hilarious, and I couldn't have been older than 7 or 8 when I was watching it. I'm pretty sure we also had it on video tape as well. And to this day, I can recite one of the gags by heart.
