  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

  • Hitman: Agent 47' Starring Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto and Ciarán Hinds
    Review: 'Hitman: Agent 47' Starring Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto and Ciarán Hinds Kimber Myers | The Playlist August 19, 2015 at 3:48PM There should be a moratorium on writing “You and I are not so very different,” and its variants in all future screenplays. Screenwriters Skip Woods and Michael Finch didn’t get the memo when writing “Hitman: Agent 47,” treating their audience to that gem of a line as well as dozens of others that are uninspired or sound vaguely familiar if you’ve ever seen another movie. Woods and Finch have a history with franchises, separately penning the scripts for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” “A Good Day to Die Hard” and “Predators” with Finch slated to tackle “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 2." Even the last of those films, the sequel to the reviled "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters," likely has a better script than the final product here. “Hitman: Agent 47” boasts everything from flaws in logic to a flood of lines so terrible and unoriginal that they elicited giggles from a room full of critics at the press screening. These are people who see bad movies for a living, but they were still affected enough by the bad dialogue here that they couldn’t hold it in. As for intentional laughter, the film is humorless for most of its running time, until the final act when cracks are made only to completely miss their mark. 20th Century Fox "Hitman: Agent 47" Based on the successful video game series, “Hitman: Agent 47” is a reboot of the 2007 film “Hitman,” which starred Timothy Olyphant in the title role.

Warren Smith An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 Copyright by Natalie Carnes 2011 Abstract Against the dominant contemporary options of usefulness and disinterestedness, this dissertation attempts to display that beauty is better—more fully, richly, generatively—described with the categories of fittingness and gratuity. By working through texts by Gregory of Nyssa, this dissertation fills out what fittingness and gratuity entail—what, that is, they do for beauty-seekers and beauty-talkers. After the historical set-up of the first chapter, chapter 2 considers fittingness and gratuity through Gregory’s doctrine of God because Beauty, for Gregory, is a name for God. That God is radically transcendent transforms (radicalizes) fittingness and gratuity away from a strictly Platonic vision of how they might function. Chapter 3 extends such radicalization by considering beauty in light of Christology and particularly in light of the Christological claims to invisibility, poverty, and suffering.
