Entertainment@Nique.Net Technique Entertainment Editor: Jennifer Aldoretta 9 Friday, Entertainment May 28, 2010 [email protected] Technique Entertainment Editor: Jennifer Aldoretta 9 Friday, Entertainment May 28, 2010 Sequel thrills comic film fans with action, IRON MAN 2 humor By Chris Ernst Staff Writer Iron Man 2, the sequel to the 2008 blockbuster, Iron Man, had the sev- enth-highest opening day ever and with good reason. Among so many mov- ies based on comic books, the Iron Man franchise is a breath of fresh air. It combines action, comedy and charisma in a way that pleases fans and raises the bar for other summer blockbusters. Iron Man 2 starts almost immediately after Tony Stark announced he was in fact Iron Man at the end of Iron Man. There is nothing in the sequel that cannot be inferred, so watching the original recently or even at all is not all together necessary. Throughout the film, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts try to handle the situation and the company now that the cat is out of the bag. The two constantly butt heads and war with words to get the other to see just how ridiculous they are being. The cast is really quite fantastic. Robert Downey Jr. brings so much to Tony Stark, making him someone the audience can actually sympathize with. Gwyneth Paltrow also breathes life into the typical “over-stressed as- sistant,” as Pepper Potts. She is the voice of reason, saying the things the audi- ence wants to scream at Stark. Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer is so easy to dislike and feel sorry for at the same time. It is a pleasure to hate him. Watch out for his dance moves and spray-tan-hands, both of which are sources of several laughs. The cast is really alive and is one of the main reasons Iron Man 2 is so enjoyable. No actor gives the impression of just doing it for the money (but if they are, then they are great actors) but rather for the greater good of the story. Each actor fits into the plot perfectly, neither feeling like the sole focus of the movie nor ignored. What is definitely not ignored is the action; there is plenty of action and excitement and all of it is presented well. There is never confusion over what FILM the audience is watching. Thinking back to The Bourne Supremacy, which also had a lot of action Iron Man 2 (but made it very difficult to focus and understand what was going on) or GENRE: Action, Adventure Transformers II, which presented many vague, shiny figures, Iron Man 2 has clear, easily understood and exciting action. It is very pure and matter-of-fact STARRING: Robert Downey with the way several scenes are presented. There is no fancy camera work or Jr., Scarlett Johansson and mind-bending angles. It is just the good guys versus the bad guys. Mickey Rourke Iron Man 2 is a great movie, but it does not quite live up to its predeces- DIRECTOR: Jon Favreau sor. It was almost hurt by the success of Iron Man, which had the advantage of having no expectations attached to it. Iron Man 2 only falls short when RATING: PG-13 compared to its predecessor, which was slightly more funny and original. RELEASE DATE: May 7, 2010 However, this comes with the territory of introducing a new superhero. Once the honeymoon is over, it will not be quite as good as when it was new. OUR TAKE: «««« « Iron Man 2 is a fantastic blockbuster, especially when compared to many other similar comic book summer movies. It is exciting, funny and wholly Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures entertaining. Extant fans and newbies alike can enjoy the film.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

While the majority of these children are recovered, the process of return and reunification has often been difficult and frustrating. Less than 10% of these children and their families receive any kind of assistance and guidance in the reunification process (Hatcher, Barton, and Brooks, 1989). Further, the average length of time between the parents' appearance to pick up their recovered child and their departure to go home is only 15 minutes (Hatcher, Barton, and Brooks, ibid.). Professionals involved with these families, including investigating law enforcement officers, mental health/social service professionals, and victim/witness personnel, have all recognized the need for: (1) a knowledge base about missing children and their families, (2) a clearer understanding of the missing! abduction event and its consequences to chHd and family, and (3) guidelines and training to develop a coordinated multi-agency approach to assisting these child victims and theirfamilies.

  • Superhuman, Transhuman, Post/Human: Mapping the Production and Reception of the Posthuman Body
    Superhuman, Transhuman, Post/Human: Mapping the Production and Reception of the Posthuman Body Scott Jeffery Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Applied Social Science, University of Stirling, Scotland, UK September 2013 Declaration I declare that none of the work contained within this thesis has been submitted for any other degree at any other university. The contents found within this thesis have been composed by the candidate Scott Jeffery. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you, first of all, to my supervisors Dr Ian McIntosh and Dr Sharon Wright for their support and patience. To my brother, for allowing to me to turn several of his kitchens into offices. And to R and R. For everything. ABSTRACT The figure of the cyborg, or more latterly, the posthuman body has been an increasingly familiar presence in a number of academic disciplines. The majority of such studies have focused on popular culture, particularly the depiction of the posthuman in science-fiction, fantasy and horror. To date however, few studies have focused on the posthuman and the comic book superhero, despite their evident corporeality, and none have questioned comics’ readers about their responses to the posthuman body. This thesis presents a cultural history of the posthuman body in superhero comics along with the findings from twenty-five, two-hour interviews with readers. By way of literature reviews this thesis first provides a new typography of the posthuman, presenting it not as a stable bounded subject but as what Deleuze and Guattari (1987) describe as a ‘rhizome’. Within the rhizome of the posthuman body are several discursive plateaus that this thesis names Superhumanism (the representation of posthuman bodies in popular culture), Post/Humanism (a critical-theoretical stance that questions the assumptions of Humanism) and Transhumanism (the philosophy and practice of human enhancement with technology).
