    Chris Pratt Is One of Hollywood's Most Sought

    CHRIS PRATT BIOGRAPHY: Chris Pratt is one of Hollywood’s most sought- after leading men. Pratt will next appear in The Magnificent Seven opposite Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke for director, Antoine Fuqua on September 23, 2016. Chris just wrapped production on the highly anticipated Sony sci-fi drama, Passengers opposite Jennifer Lawrence for Oscar nominated director of The Imitation Game, Morten Tyldum. The film is slated for a December 2016 release. Most recently, Chris headlined Jurassic World which is the 4th highest grossing film of all time behind Avatar, Titanic, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He will reprise his role of 'Owen Grady’ in the 2nd installment of Jurassic World- set for a 2018 debut. 2015 also marked the end of seventh and final season of Emmy- nominated series Parks & Recreation for which Pratt is perhaps best known for portraying the character, ‘Andy Dwyer’ opposite Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, and Adam Scott. 2014 was truly the year of Chris Pratt. He top lined Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy which was one of the top 3 grossing films of 2014 with over $770 million at the global box office. He will return to the role of ‘Star Lord’ in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 which is scheduled for a May 2017 release. Plus, Chris lent his vocal talents to the lead character, ‘Emmett,’ in the enormously successful Warner Bros, animated feature The Lego Movie which made over $400 million worldwide. Other notable film credits include: the DreamWorks comedy Delivery Man, Spike Jonze’s critically acclaimed, Her, and the Universal comedy feature, The Five-Year Engagement.

    “Joyful Noise” Reverend Bill Gause Overbrook Presbyterian Church 22Nd Sunday in Ordinary Time September 2, 2018 First Script

    “Joyful Noise” Reverend Bill Gause Overbrook Presbyterian Church 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time September 2, 2018 First Scripture Lesson: Psalm 100 1Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. 2Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing. 3Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. 5For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. Second Scripture Lesson: Psalm 150 1Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament! 2Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his surpassing greatness! 3Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! 4Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! 5Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 6Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Sermon: Joyful Noise Music is an amazing and powerful thing. It is ubiquitous in our human experience touching almost every part of our lives across every era of human history. In his book, This is Your Brain on Music, author Daniel Levitin writes: “… Whenever humans come together for any reason, music is there, …. weddings, funerals, graduation from college, men marching off to war, stadium sporting events, a night on the town, prayer, a romantic dinner, mothers rocking their infants to sleep and college students studying with music as a background … music is and [always] was part of the fabric of everyday life.”1 Considering the benefits music contributes to our well-being and our cultural and social identity, you could rank it right up there with fire and the wheel as among the most versatile and creative developments in human history; and just as ancient.

    Thesis from Parks to Presidents: Political

    THESIS FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION Submitted by Seth J. Willden Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s Committee Advisor: Nick Marx Karrin Vasby Anderson Doug Cloud Copyright by Seth J. Willden 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION This thesis examines the ways televised narrative political fiction can portray political sensibilities. Using the NBC program, Parks and Recreation (2009-2015), and the Netflix streaming service program, House of Cards (2013-2016), I explore how narrative television presents political philosophies to audiences, equipping them to discuss political discourse. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before we begin discussing the political implications of narrative television, I must first provide a narrative of acknowledgement. The MA program in Communication Studies is only a two-year program, and this document marks the end of that two-year journey. But I have been at Colorado State for five years. In a way, the last chapter of this thesis will be the last literal chapter of my five-year career as a CSU student. I wish to first thank the professors that transformed my understanding of the world: Dr. Thomas Dunn, Dr. Scott Diffrient, and Dr. Eric Aoki. You were my first communication studies professors. Each in turn provided excellent education, guidance and support throughout my time as a scholar. I will never forget your pedagogical styles and hunger for understanding the communicative processes of our world. Next I want to thank my thesis committee: Dr.

    Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation

    Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication December 2018 By Bailee M. Bahr Southern Utah University Thesis Committee: Kevin Stein, PhD, Chair I certify that I have read and viewed this project and that, in my opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Professional Communication. Repowered Feminist Analysis 1 Kevin Stein __________________________________ Kevin Stein, Ph.D., Capstone Chair Matthew Barton __________________________________ Matthew Barton, Ph.D., MAPC Graduate Director Abstract Repowered Feminist Analysis 2 This paper analyzes the television show Parks and Recreation in order to find principles of Foss and Foss’ (2009) characteristics of repowered feminism. This paper aims to discover if Leslie Knope represents a new form of feminism, what characteristics specifically that she represents, and if these qualities contribute to a freer, less oppressed Leslie Knope. The analysis examines three episodes of the show and uses feminist rhetorical criticism to analyze the findings. I found that repowered feminism applies both to a feminist’s concerns with feminist issues and the applicability of repowered feminism to all types of problem solving. Knope, whether focusing directly on feminist issues or on the various obstacles she faces while doing her job, is usually presented as more successful when she implements the characteristics of repowered feminism. Keywords: parks and recreation, repowered feminism, pop culture Acknowledgements A massive hug and kiss to my adorable husband who encouraged me to finish my thesis in spite of the plethora of excuses.

A small town that serves as Everytown, USA, Pawnee has problems, from its obesity crisis to the raccoon infestation to the corrupt Sweetums Candy Company dominating the economy. But no problem is too big or small to be solved by Pawnee local government. This committee begins at season 6, right when the pretentious town of Eagleton goes bankrupt and the merger begins. Will Leslie be recalled as city councilwoman? What will happen with Rent-A-Swag? How will two towns that have lived as sworn enemies integrate? From Ron to Donna to Ben to Ann to Garry-Jerry-Larry-Terry, it's up to Pawnee's Department of Parks and Recreation to save the merger--and perhaps the town itself. 1 Letter from the Director ________________________________________ Delegates, Welcome! It is my privilege to welcome you to FCMUN as your crisis director. Last year, I was the crisis director for the Democratic National Committee and it was a blast, ending in Chance the Rapper being declared Emperor of my home city of Chicago, Bill De Blasio annihilating Trump Tower with the help of his assistant Kim Kardashian, and Bernie leading a secession movement for the northeast states. I can’t wait to see you all plot and solve more crazy crises.

JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE EDUCATION • Volume 14 • Number 1 • Summer 2015 Swansonomics: Using “Parks and Recreation” to Teach Economics L. Brooke Conaway and Christopher Clark1 ABSTRACT Based on a first-year multidisciplinary course, Swansonomics is a class where students examine the libertarian beliefs espoused by the character Ron Swanson from the television series Parks and Recreation. The show provides great examples of rent seeking, fiscal policy issues, social policy issues, and bureaucratic incentive structures. These Parks and Recreation video clips can be used in any class to cover a variety of issues. Examples of topics include the expected economic consequences of specific political or economic philosophies, unintended consequences of policies, various systems of taxation, public and private incentive structures, and varying degrees of capitalism and government intervention. Introduction This paper is based on a first-year multidisciplinary course taught at a liberal arts university. The course covers a variety of topics, with particular emphasis on different economic systems, varying degrees of capitalism, government intervention, and public choice issues.

    Parks and Rec Spec Script: Fat Pants

    Fat Pants Parks and Recreation Spec Script by Andy Kneis [email protected] (925) 330-1310 2. INT. PARKS AND REC OFFICE -- DAY LESLIE KNOPE talking head: LESLIE After being named one of America’s fattest and ugliest towns seven years in a row, the Pawnee government has decided to overhaul their fitness program for the benefit of the city’s numerous fatsos. And, even better news, they are holding a board meeting where members of the parks department can pitch ideas for a fitness ad on TV. CUT TO: JERRY is sitting at his desk, about to eat a chocolate bar when LESLIE quickly snatches it from his hand. LESLIE (V.O.) (CONT'D) It’s a fantastic idea, I’m really getting into the fitness spirit. JERRY attempts to open a large bag of chips, but LESLIE dramatically rises from behind, slams the bag out of his hands and replaces it with a stick of celery. JERRY TALKING HEAD: JERRY Leslie keeps taking my food. I don’t even want junk food. I just want something to eat. (to DONNA) Please? DONNA looks at JERRY for a while, then gives him an energy bar. The camera focuses on the window behind JERRY where LESLIE perks up at her desk. LESLIE Jerry no! Everyone, Jerry’s doing something bad. 3. The rest of the members of the office, TOM, APRIL, and RON get up, surround JERRY and begin treating him like a dog who has something in his mouth, shouting commands at him all at once. He shakes his head and keeps his lips shut tight.
