Eddie Ivermee For that feeling you get when the lights get dim in the cinema Because of getting to see Heath Ledger on the big screen for the final time in The Dark Knight Because of Quentin Tarentino’s knack for rip roaring dialogue Because of the invention of the steadicam For saving me from the drudgery of nightly weekly TV sessions Because of Malik’s ability to make life seem more beautiful than it really is Because of Brando and Pacino together in The Godfather Because of the amazing combination of music and image, e.g. music in Jaws Because of the invention of other worlds, see Avatar, Star Wars, Alien etc. For making us laugh, cry, sad, happy, scared all in equal measure. For the ending of the Shawshank Redemption For allowing Jim Carey lose during the 1990’s For arranging a coffee date on screen of De Niro an Pacino For allowing Righteous Kill to go straight to DVD so I could turn it off For taking me back in time with classics like Psycho, Wizard of Oz ect For making dreams become reality see E.T, The Goonies, Spiderman, Superman For allowing Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy and Joesph Gordon Levitt ply their trade on screen for our amusement. Because of making people Die Hard as Rambo strikes with a Lethal Weapon because he is a Predator who is also Rocky.

In the name of his newly created religion, the great Russian novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and even celibacy. After she’s born him thirteen children! When Sofya then discovers that Tolstoy’s trusted disciple, Chertkov (Paul Giamatti)—whom she despises—may have secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will, leaving the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his very own family, she is consumed by righteous outrage. This is the last straw. Using every bit of cunning, every trick of seduction in her considerable arsenal, she fights fiercely for what she believes is rightfully hers.

    Volume 15, Issue 1, 129-144, 2021 “I Cannot Hide My Anger to Spare You Guilt”: On BLMTO and Canadian Mainstream Media’s Response VALENTINA CAPURRI Ryerson University, Canada ABSTRACT In this paper, I examine Canadian mainstream media’s response to Black Lives Matter Toronto, focusing in particular on two events that occurred in the city in the Summer of 2016 and Winter of 2017. By relying on Critical Race Theory, I argue that a White-dominated press has been unwilling to engage with the message presented by Black activists under the excuse that the tone of the message is overly harsh and threatening to White audiences. After analysing the historical roots of such a claim, I conclude that, in the current climate, there is no space for any dialogue in what remains an oppressor-oppressed relationship across the country, including in Toronto, Canada’s most multicultural city. KEYWORDS racism; white supremacy; critical race theory; Canada The quote in the title is from a keynote presentation delivered by Audre Lorde at the National Women’s Studies Association Conference in Storrs, Connecticut, in June 1981 (Lorde, 2007). In the presentation, Lorde examines how anger is one of Black women’s responses to racism despite the inability and unwillingness of White women, including many female-identified academics attending the conference, to bear witness to that anger. Lorde was pinpointing White women’s refusal to listen under the cover that the tone used to convey the message was excessively harsh and was therefore perceived as threatening. Thirty-nine years later, Black individuals, and Black women in particular, are still faced with similar challenges and with White society’s unwillingness to listen to the message conveyed by their anger, and the excuse is the same: the tone is too loud and intimidating.

    Motherless Brooklyn to Open 55Th Chicago International Film Festival

    Media Contact: Matthew Bryant / Dayna Calkins ​ Carol Fox and Associates 773.969.5034 773.969.5032 [email protected] [email protected] For Immediate Release: September 17, 2019 ​ EDWARD NORTON’S STAR STUDDED PASSION PROJECT MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN TO OPEN THE ​ 55th CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL CHICAGO - Mimi Plauché, Artistic Director of the Chicago International Film Festival, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ today announced that Motherless Brooklyn, Edward Norton’s adaptation of Jonathan Lethem’s ​ ​ groundbreaking novel, will open the 55th edition of the Festival. The Opening Night celebration, sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies and the John and Jacolyn Bucksbaum Family ​ ​ ​ Foundation, will be held at the AMC River East 21, 322 E. Illinois St., on Wednesday, ​ ​ ​ ​ October 16 at 6:30 p.m. An After-Party at Union Station Burlington Room, 255 South Canal ​ ​ ​ St. will follow, with additional support provided by Aberlour, Chloe Wine Collection, Goose ​ ​ Island, and Forza Meats. Presented by Cinema/Chicago, the 55th Chicago International Film ​ ​ ​ Festival will take place October 16 – 27 at the AMC River East (322 E. Illinois Street). ​ Motherless Brooklyn centers on Lionel Essrog (Edward Norton), a lonely private detective living ​ with Tourette Syndrome, who ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend, Frank Minna (Bruce Willis). Armed only with a few clues and the engine of his obsessive mind, Lionel unravels closely guarded secrets that hold the fate of New York in the balance. In a mystery that carries him from gin-soaked jazz clubs in Harlem to the hard-edged slums of Brooklyn and, finally, into the gilded halls of New York's power brokers, Lionel contends with thugs, corruption and the most dangerous man in the city to honor his friend and save the woman who might be his own salvation.
  • The Narrator (Edward Norton), Addicted to Self-Help Groups

    The Narrator (Edward Norton), Addicted to Self-Help Groups

    Fight Club (1999) Directed by David Fincher, written by Jim Uhis How can you not like a movie where half a dozen corporate skyscrapers are blown up and the explicit message the film delivers is: ―Things you own end up owning you‖? Easy, when the movie is Fight Club. Anti-consumerism may appear progressive, but what do you replace it with? Under David Fincher‘s direction, Fight Club endorses a peculiar kind of sado-masochistic hedonism for the masculine elite, and a cult-like subservience for the masses. The cure is worse than the disease. No wonder some critics have declared the movie fascist. The movie opens near its eventual climax. The Narrator (Edward Norton – he‘s not named in the movie so I‘ll call him N) is in an office overlooking a big city skyline and Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) is shoving a gun in his mouth, apparently ready to detonate both the pistol and the home-made explosives under the towering corporate icons. The movie then backtracks and the story is told mostly through flashback. N is a modern-day seeker. That means that, in the beginning, he isn‘t sure what he‘s seeking. He‘s a 30-year old businessman who‘s playing the consumption game self- consciously and looking for meaning in the possession of goods. He reads magazines on the toilet about contemporary furniture. Compulsive consumption substitutes for sex. In his own words, he ―had it all‖, including a ―wardrobe that was getting very respectable, close to being complete.‖ Of course, this is a blind alley.
