United Artists ultimately recouped its loss on the film as a result of an agreement wherein they would share the profits with Rocky, which the executives had expected to be a flop.[3] 3 8 Text and image sources, contributors, and licenses 8.1 Text • New York, New York (film) Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New%20York%2C%20New%20York%20(film)?oldid=640423685 Contributors: Modemac, Tregoweth, Habj, WhisperToMe, Tpbradbury, Dale Arnett, Andycjp, Discospinster, Sortior, KingTT, Alvis, Pe- terJohnson, Deltabeignet, FlaBot, Eubot, YurikBot, Quentin X, UDScott, Rwalker, CLW, Whobot, Mrblondnyc, Vanka5, SmackBot, Ar- tihcus022, CRKingston, Fatal exception, Stevenmitchell, Byelf2007, SashatoBot, Derbent 5000, Cbrown1023, Robixsmash, DBReed, Cy- debot, Jainituos, Otto4711, Ss112, X201, Nicholas0, Opertinicy, Easchiff, KConWiki, FANSTARbot, Cop 663, Thismightbezach, Emer- aldcrown, Station1, Abtinb, StevenWBenner, Burglekutt, SieBot, Polbot, Fratrep, MikeVitale, Alexbot, DumZiBoT, SilvonenBot, Addbot, SpBot, Tassedethe, Julianster, AnomieBOT, XZeroBot, Seansoo3, Christianster94, Fortdj33, Ionutzmovie, Freshh, DrilBot, EmausBot, SporkBot, Danaphile, AbsoluteGleek92, Polisher of Cobwebs, ClueBot NG, Neptune’s Trident, J-B and Anonymous: 48 8.2 Images • File:Flag_of_New_York_City.svg Source: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Flag_of_New_York_City.svg Li- cense: CC-BY-SA-3.0 Contributors: ?

  • Frankfurter, Abstention Doctrine, and the Development of Modern Federalism: a History and Three Futures Lael Weinberger†
    ARTICLE Frankfurter, Abstention Doctrine, and the Development of Modern Federalism: A History and Three Futures Lael Weinberger† In its first century and a half, the Supreme Court never used the term “feder- alism” in its opinions. The Court had talked about federal-state relations before, but the concept had gone unlabeled. That changed in 1939. Something new was hap- pening, thanks in large part to Justice Felix Frankfurter. Just a month after joining the Court, Frankfurter authored the Court’s first opinion using the term “federal- ism.” Frankfurter introduced federalism as a key concept for analyzing the relation- ship between state courts and federal courts. Before long, Frankfurter would rely on federalism to fashion an original and enduring doctrine of judicial federalism: ab- stention, which requires federal courts to sometimes refrain from hearing cases that are within their jurisdiction. This Article provides a historical study of Frankfurter’s contribution to the modern law of judicial federalism. It documents Frankfurter’s theory of federalism in his judicial opinions with a focus on the abstention cases. It also shows how the abstention cases and their concept of federalism were rooted in Frankfurter’s Pro- gressive politics. They were a reaction to what he perceived as the federal courts’ anti-regulatory and anti-labor attitudes. The history—relevant today as the political discussion around the courts again echoes the Progressive Era—sets the stage for considering the future of abstention. I suggest three possibilities. The first, an originalist future, would more or less main- tain the contemporary Supreme Court’s status quo on abstention, somewhat more modest than what Frankfurter envisioned: a cautious use of abstention in a rela- tively small number of equitable cases.

  • Title: Why So Silent? the Supreme Court and the Second Amendment Debate After DC V. Heller Author: Dr Emma Long Author Biographi
    Title: Why So Silent? The Supreme Court and the Second Amendment Debate After DC v. Heller Author: Dr Emma Long Author Biographical Note: Emma Long is Lecturer in American Studies at the University of East Anglia. Her research focuses on the history of the US Supreme Court and its role in shaping political and social debate. She is author of The Church-State Debate: Religion, Education, and the Establishment Clause in Postwar America (Bloomsbury, 2012) and is currently working on a project exploring the role of evangelicals in shaping debate about religious rights and religious freedom in the decades after World War Two. She is also an editor of History: The Journal of the Historical Association. Abstract: In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) the Supreme Court appeared to give to gun rights activists what they had campaigned for since the 1970s: a ruling that the Second Amendment encompassed an individual right to bear arms for the purposes of self-defence. But as the debate about gun rights returned to the top of the political agenda in the United States as a result of a series of high profile mass shootings in 2015 and the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016, two things became clear: that Heller had not ended the political or legal debate about Second Amendment rights and that the Supreme Court had been noticeably absent from the debate since applying the Heller ruling to the states in McDonald v. Chicago in 2010. This article argues that, far from the success claimed by gun rights supporters, the consequences of Heller fundamentally undermined some of their key arguments and forced a shift in the nature of the debate.

    Figure . Shirley Temple and Jack Haley in a publicity still for Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (dir. Allan Dwan, US, ) Discipline and Pleasure: Shirley Temple and the Spectacle of Child Loving Kristen Hatch Contemporary viewers are likely to nd the image of Shirley Tem- ple riding Jack Haley perverse (g. ). Haley is on his hands and knees, straddled by the child, who swishes a riding crop against his backside and loosely holds a leather strap around his neck.1 Temple’s famous dimples and curls frame a face that seems too knowing for such a young girl. Her half- closed eyes look down slyly at the man, while her lips turn up into a disconcerting grin. How could we not see in this a pedophilic fantasy of domination and submission? And yet it is impossible to believe that Twentieth Century-Fox would deliberately stage its highest- grossing star in such a disturbing photograph. In The Structure of Scientic Revolutions, Thomas S. Kuhn draws upon Ludwig Wittgenstein’s discussion of the gestalt shift produced by a duck- rabbit — an image that appears as a duck or a rabbit depending on where one’s focus falls (g. ) — to describe the effects of a paradigm shift in scientic thinking.

  • Heller's Catch-22
    HELLER’S CATCH-22 * Adam Winkler Joseph Heller’s satire Catch-22 has become a classic for its revealing look at the illogic, inconsistency, and circular reasoning common in modern bureaucratic life. This Article uses Heller’s novel to frame a critical analysis of the recent landmark Second Amendment decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that carries the Catch-22 author’s surname, District of Columbia v. Heller. The majority opinion in Heller suffers from many of the missteps and contradictions Heller’s novel identified. Although hailed as a “triumph of originalism,” the opinion paradoxically relies on a thoroughly modern understanding of gun rights. Justice Scalia has argued that originalism is necessary to preserve the legitimacy of the Court, but Heller is more likely to be accepted as legitimate precisely because Scalia’s opinion departed from the original meaning of the Second Amendment. Moreover, this celebrated landmark decision has had almost no effect on the constitutionality of gun control. To date, the federal courts have yet to invalidate a single gun control law for violating the Second Amendment right to bear arms, despite scores of cases. While some laws are sure to be invalidated in time, the new Second Amendment’s bark is far worse than its right. The greatest irony is that Heller’s logical flaws and inconsistencies improve the decision, making it more likely to endure and helping to cement a reasonable, not radical, right to bear arms.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, a 12
    BAMcinématek presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, a 12-film series pairing Martin Scorsese works with their inspirations from Raoul Walsh’s seminal oeuvre, Mar 12—26 Opens with Walsh’s Regeneration, featuring live piano by acclaimed silent film accompanist Steve Sterner The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Feb 12, 2014—From Wednesday, March 12 through Wednesday, March 26, BAMcinématek presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, pairing six Scorsese classics with their inspirations from Raoul Walsh’s seminal oeuvre. The still-undervalued Walsh’s lean, mean portraits of gangsters, knack for evoking gritty urban locales, and assured handling of white- knuckle action provide a virtual template for modern-day maestro (and avowed Walsh admirer) Martin Scorsese’s work. Viewed side by side, the films of these two iconic auteurs reveal a fascinating and ongoing creative dialogue across the generations. One of the great action directors of the Hollywood studio era, Raoul Walsh was the swaggering, manly-man artist behind some of the best movies to star James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and Errol Flynn. ―Walsh’s explosive outcast characters were bigger than life,‖ said Martin Scorsese, whose own violent, masculine oeuvre is just as full of explosive outcasts. ―Their lust for life was insatiable, even as their actions precipitated their tragic destiny. The world was too small for them.‖ Walsh was ―probably Scorsese’s single most important influence,‖ wrote critic Dave Kehr (Moving Image Source), even if Scorsese’s debts to Michael Powell, Luchino Visconti, and other filmmakers have been more widely acknowledged over the years.

  • The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Sabato 17 Dicembre Ore 16.30
    The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Sabato 17 dicembre ore 16.30 The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 American musical comedy-drama fantasy film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and the most well-known and commercially successful adaptation based on the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. .Restless teen Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) lives a dull life on a Kansas farm with her Auntie Em (Clara Blandick) and Uncle Henry (Charley Grapewin). For entertainment, she looks to dog Toto (Terry the Wire Terrier) and three farm hands, Hunk (Ray Bolger), Hickory (Jack Haley) and Zeke (Bert Lahr). Still, she feels underappreciated on the farm, and when a mean old neighbor, Elmira Gulch (Margaret Hamilton), threatens to take Toto to the pound, she decides it’s time to run away from home. After a brief run-in with fortune-teller hack Professor Marvel (Frank Morgan), Dorothy decides to return home — just as a massive tornado strikes — “It’s a twister! It’s a twister!” Dorothy is knocked unconscious by a broken window, sparking her crazy dream that the house has been lifted inside the cyclone (with she and Toto inside) and dropped inside the magical Land of Oz. Destination: Munchkinland. Address: The head of the Wicked Witch of the East. Naturally, the witch’s sister, the Wicked Witch of the West (Hamilton), is mighty pissed off. She confronts Dorothy — and her little dog, too — but Glinda the Good Witch of the North (Billie Burke) steps in to protect her. She gives Dorothy the magical Ruby Slippers off the feet of the Wicked Witch of the East.
