EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SALES JAN DI CLEMENTE (ext. 249) Now, I’m not using the word “unique” in the colloquial sense, like MANAGING DIRECTOR, SALES CINDY FROST (ext. 254) ACCOUNT MANAGERS ZOLTAN TOTH (ext. 233) when you use it to describe something that’s particularly innovative. JENNA PATERSON (ext. 243) I mean that when Superman came out in 1978 it was the only major BEN MUNGER (ext. 235) movie of its time based on a comic book.

    Kate Bosworth Fine Jewelry Collection - Ambyr Childers

    Search Kate Bosworth Now Co-Owns a Native American- Inspired Fine Jewelry Line hen you’ve been designated the all-too-lofty title of “It girl,” every fashionable move you make carries much weight. So goes it for Kate Bosworth, whose red-carpet moves have been as closely watched W as her off-duty style. Instead of being the face of a brand, Bosworth is taking a more strategic role in her latest venture with Ambyr Childers Jewelry. “I only take on collaboration opportunities where I feel an authentic connection to the brand,” Bosworth told Style.com. “Whether it be my work with Topshop, upstarting JewelMint, or working with Ambyr, there must be a point of view between us that feels exciting enough to share with consumers.” As part owner of the fine jewelry line together with actress Ambyr Childers, Bosworth’s approaching the project as she would any new role. “With any artistic venture—whether it be a film or a fashion—it is essential to create from a place of authenticity. Perception is essentially out of my control, but I must feel proud of the work in order to stand behind it.” converted by Web2PDFConvert.com The 22-piece collection draws on Childers’ own Native American heritage to inform each design. “It is a culture that has always loved and respected the Earth and every living thing on it. And I want to convey that inspiration through the symbols and their rich meaning to those who wear my jewelry,” Childers explained. The debut collection launching for Spring ’15 includes 14-karat gold with stones of the precious and semiprecious variety, including diamonds, pink opal, obsidian, and lapis, designed into recognizable symbols such as arrowheads, sun rays, and bows and arrows.

    “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World

    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

Yet contrary to early comparisons to his last film, Aronofsky's latest is far more in line with "Requiem for a Dream" by way of Brian De Palma thrillers of the late '70s and early '80s, starring Portman as a strait-laced ballerina who vies for lead in the Lincoln Center's production of "Swan Lake" against a fun-loving newcomer (Kunis), but is suspected by the company's artistic director (Cassel) of not having the inherent danger and daring to play the Black Swan as well as the purer White.

Posted: Mon., Dec. 28, 2009, 8:00pm PT Adler, McCarthy engulfed in WWII 'Fog' Producers option sci-fi horror comicbook 'Night and Fog' By TATIANA SIEGEL Producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy have optioned the sci-fi horror comicbook "Night and Fog" from publisher Studio 407. No stranger to comicbook-based material, Adler has produced such graphic-based fare as "Constantine," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming Brandon Routh starrer "Dead of Night," which is based on the popular Italian title "Dylan Dog." This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one," Adler said, noting his prior role as a producer of such horror projects as the "Tales From the Crypt" series. "But what really appealed to me wasn't so much the genre trappings but rather the characters that really drive this story." Set during WWII, story revolves around an infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Studio 407's Alex Leung will also serve as a producer on "Night and Fog." Adler and McCarthy are also teaming to produce an adaptation of "Havana Nocturne" along with Eric Eisner. They also recently optioned Ken Bruen's crime thriller "Tower." "Night and Fog" is available in comic shops in the single-issue format and digitally on iPhone through Comixology.
