QUICK STOP YEARS AGO--DAY We FADE IN on the block of stores (Quick Stop/RST), from sometime ago, In fact, RST isn't RST; it's THE RECORD RACK -- a 45's store with head shop paraphernalia in the window. A white-trash MOTHER (maybe seventeen) wearing a baseball cap comes into frame carrying a chubby BABY. The Baby wears an oversized t-shirt under what looks like a little bathrobe, and messily eats a CHOCOLATE BAR. There are food stamps in the Mother's hands. MOTHER Bobby-Boy stay here while mommy picks up the free cheese, 'kay? She looks up at the bright sun, shielding her eyes slightly, then looks back at the baby on the ground. She takes off her baseball cap and places it on the baby. MOTHER This'll keep the sun out of your eyes. You be good now. She walks away, leaving the baby sitting against the wall. With the backwards baseball cap and the chocolate around his mouth forming something that resembles a beard, the kid looks kind of familiar. Then, another MOTHER (also very young) decked out in a KISS concert shirt from years gone by and huge, feathered hair enters, with a black skullcap wearing BABY slung at her hip. She sees the first Baby, sitting against the wall and sets her Baby down beside him. MOTHER Don't fucking move, you little shit- machine.

  • Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines Part
    “Too Fat to Fly” Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines Part One (Warning: case contains explicit language) Too Fat to Fly: Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines - Part 1 Page 2 1. Overview On February 13, 2010, writer and director Kevin Smith hopped an earlier Southwest flight from Oakland to Burbank, California sacrificing the comfort of two seats he purchased originally, to get home a couple hours earlier (Schwalback and Smith, 2010). What started off as a simple compromise, ended in humiliation for the admittedly overweight director, when he was ejected from the flight in accordance with Southwest’s Customer of Size policy (McNeill, 2010). Smith, a regular social media user, quickly took to twittering his experience to his reported 1.6 million followers, blasting Southwest for both its policy and poor handling of the situation in a series of posts over a few hours (Schwalback and Smith, 2010). What, according to Southwest, was the result of a few staffers trying to accommodate both passengers and policy (McNeill, 2010; Rutherford, 2010), erupted into one of the most talked about social media controversies of the year. 2. The Cast of Characters 2.1 Kevin Smith A writer, director and producer, 40-year old Kevin Smith was catapulted to fame when his first film, Clerks, was honoured at both the Sundance and Cannes film festivals. It was at Sundance where the film, made for a meager $27,000 in the convenience store where Smith was employed, was picked up by Miramax, going on to make over $3 million (Wasserstein, 2006). Since then, Smith has produced such critically acclaimed films as Chasing Amy and Mallrats, as well as flops like Jersey Girls (Wasserstein, 2010).
