The event will take place in the Stanley Black & Decker Fan Zone Wednesday, June 19 at TPC River Highlands. Shotgun starts at 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. will feature three-player teams. The two winning teams each will receive $2,500 to donate to the charities of their choice.

  • Charity and Compassion in Luc Besson's Space Operas The
    religions Article Love Thy Extra-Terrestrial Neighbour: Charity and Compassion in Luc Besson’s Space Operas The Fifth Element (1997) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) Sylvie Magerstädt School of Humanities, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, Herts AL10 9EU, UK; [email protected] Received: 13 August 2018; Accepted: 20 September 2018; Published: 27 September 2018 Abstract: The role of romantic love in cinema–and its redeeming aspects–has been extensively explored in film studies and beyond. However, non-romantic aspects of love, especially love for the neighbour, have not yet received as much attention. This is particularly true when looking at mainstream science fiction cinema. This is surprising as the interstellar outlook of many of these films and consequently the interaction with a whole range of new ‘neighbours’ raises an entirely new set of challenges. In this article, the author explores these issues with regard to Luc Besson’s science fiction spectacles The Fifth Element (1997) and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017). Both films have divided fans and critics and it is indeed easy to dismiss them as mere spectacle with little depth or message, as many reviewers have done. Yet, as this article demonstrates, beneath their shiny, colourful surface, both films make a distinct contribution to the theme of neighbourly love. What is more, Besson’s films often seem to develop a close link between more common notions of romantic love and agapic forms of love and thus offer a perspective of exploring our relationship to the alien as our neighbour.

    FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM COGS108 Final Project Group Members: Yanyi Wang Ziwen Zeng Lingfei Lu Yuhan Wang Yuqing Deng Introduction and Background Movie revenue is one of the most important measure of good and bad movies. Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

  • Tim Wakefield, Dane Dehaan and Tyler Hoechlin to Host Farmington Bank Celebrity Mini Golf Tournament at the 2017 Travelers Championship
    CONTACT: Tara Gerber Travelers Championship 860.502.6815 [email protected] TIM WAKEFIELD, DANE DEHAAN AND TYLER HOECHLIN TO HOST FARMINGTON BANK CELEBRITY MINI GOLF TOURNAMENT AT THE 2017 TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP HARTFORD, Conn., June 14, 2017 – The Travelers Championship today announced that former Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield, along with actors Dane DeHaan and Tyler Hoechlin, will host the Farmington Bank Celebrity Mini Golf Tournament on Wednesday, June 21, in the Farmington Bank Kids Zone at TPC River Highlands. Shotgun starts will send off three-player teams at 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. The two winning teams will receive $2,500 to donate to a charity of their choice. Many holes feature special twists from tournament partners such as LEGO® and The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, making it more challenging for players and exciting for fans, who can view the action from sideline bleachers and a video wall. Renee DiNino from iHeartMedia Communities will emcee for the fifth straight year, and Teryn Schaefer from PGA TOUR Live will deliver the play-by-play broadcast on the jumbotron. In addition to Wakefield, DeHaan and Hoechlin, other celebrities scheduled to participate include two-time Stanley Cup champion and Pittsburgh Penguins center Nick Bonino, WWE legend Bob Backlund, actor CJ Adams, local TV and radio personalities and UConn coaches. “Mini golf brings a lighthearted element to tournament week that helps us connect with a wider group of celebrities and more casual golf fans,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “There will be a lot of laughs and a chance for fans to see some celebrities, but there is also money to be won for charity.” Red Sox Hall of Fame inductee Tim Wakefield played in the major leagues for 19 years.

  • Robert Pattinson to Play Legendary Magnum Photographer Dennis Stock and Dane Dehaan to Play James Dean in Anton Corbijn’S Life
    ROBERT PATTINSON TO PLAY LEGENDARY MAGNUM PHOTOGRAPHER DENNIS STOCK AND DANE DEHAAN TO PLAY JAMES DEAN IN ANTON CORBIJN’S LIFE SEE-SAW FILMS AND FIRST GENERATION FILMS TO PRODUCE FILMNATION ENTERTAINMENT TO HANDLE INTERNATIONAL SALES New York, NY – September 6, 2013 – Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga, Cosmopolis) and Dane DeHaan (Kill Your Darlings, Lawless, The Place Beyond The Pines) will star as renowned Magnum photographer Dennis Stock and Hollywood legend James Dean in Anton CorbiJn’s (Control) next feature film Life. Inspired by a true story, the film charts the friendship that developed between Magnum photographer Dennis Stock and actor James Dean when Stock was commissioned to photograph the actor for Life magazine in 1955. Stock was 26, old before his time and already tied down to family life. Into his buttoned-down world came fledgling star James Dean, a free spirit who would change popular culture from suits to Jeans and from matinee idols to teenage heartthrobs. The assignment, which took the pair on a road trip around the US, would change Stock’s life and provide the world with some of the most iconic images of the age. Life is being produced by See-Saw Films’ Iain Canning and Emile Sherman with Christina Piovesan of First Generation Films from a script by Luke Davies (Candy). Life reunites See-Saw and FilmNation Entertainment who last collaborated when FilmNation handled international sales on See-Saw’s 2011 multiple Academy Award® winning feature The King’s Speech. FilmNation Entertainment will handle international sales on the film and CEO Glen Basner will introduce the script to international buyers at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival, prior to AFM.
