Il ANTONIO GALLUZZO piatto forte della festa sarà una performance danzante dello sposo e del testimone insieme alla compagnia di danza "Marasma Ghandi" che si preannuncia quantomeno imperdibile.

  • Reviewing Romcom: (100) Imdb Users and (500) Days of Summer
    . Volume 8, Issue 2 November 2011 Reviewing Romcom: (100) IMDb Users and (500) Days of Summer Inger-Lise Kalviknes Bore Birmingham City University, UK Abstract This article contributes to academic debates around the romantic comedy genre and comedy audiences by examining IMDb user reviews of (500) Days of Summer (2009). Directed by Marc Webb for Fox Searchlight Pictures, (500) Days of Summer was promoted with the tagline ‘Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn’t’. This presents the film as an unconventional romantic comedy in at least three ways: Firstly, it suggests that these two characters will not actually end up together, which challenges the idea of the romcom couple as ‘meant to be’. Secondly, it presents the possibility that audiences might not get the happy ending we usually expect from comedy. And finally, the tagline casts the boy, rather than the girl, in the role as yearning romantic, thereby challenging the traditional gender roles of heterosexual relationships. So how did audiences respond to this film? At the time of writing, it has been rated by 75,716 IMDb users, and has an average score of 8.0 out of 10. This clearly suggests a favourable reception, but the IMDb reviews also offer qualitative data that can shed further light on how the film has been evaluated. What kinds of criteria are in operation? What elements do reviewers highlight as important for their experiences of the film? How is the film seen to fail for some viewers? Drawing on previous studies of romantic comedy, the analysis will consider how these particular audience members articulated their responses to (500) Days of Summer, as well as their positions as reviewers.

The slate of in-competition projects was selected from the NYTVF's largest pool of pilot submissions ever: up more than 42 percent from the previous high. Festival organizers also noted that the selections are representative of creative voices across diverse demographics, with 59 percent having a woman in a core creative role (creator, writer, director and/or executive producer) and 43 percent including one or more persons of color above the line (core creative team and/or lead actor). “We were blown away by the talent and creativity of this year's submissions – across the board it was a record-setting year and we had an extremely difficult task in identifying the competition slate.

  • 'New Girl' Cast Teases Season Finale [SPOILER] by Lani Conway on April 23, 2013
    http://www.zimbio.com/New+Girl/articles/diOlmEMkD4C/New+Girl+Cast+Teases+Season+Finale+SPOIL ER 'New Girl' Cast Teases Season Finale [SPOILER] By Lani Conway on April 23, 2013 Hannah Simone, Jake Johnson, and Lamorne Morris attended the Grades of Green annual event for Earth Day to chat a bit about the importance of the environment, and tease the prank-filled season finale of New Girl. "Winston and Schmidt and a whole host of others get very involved in Cece's wedding," Simone said to Entertainment Tonight. Cece recently became engaged to Shivrang, which has caused quite a stir for those who are still rooting for Schmidt. "Schmidt and I band together to," Morris said, jokingly clearing his throat. "I'll put it like this. I like to prank, Schmidt kind of helps me out. He goes along with one of my pranks... It's the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen in your entire life." We just hope the prank his better than his super weird "let's hit someone with a ski" joke idea. Johnson also had some things to say about country-pop star Taylor Swift's guest spot on the season finale. "Nick's a little bit more involved with Jess in the finale. He's kind of tied in with her [Winston and Schmidt] are tied up together," Johnson said. "There's a badger, and then Taylor Swift is there." Huh? Badger? We'll just wait for the season finale instead of trying to figure out that one. .

  • Black Masculinity and White-Cast Sitcoms Unraveling Stereotypes in New Girl
    Black masculinity and White-cast Sitcoms Unraveling stereotypes in New Girl Marie Zafimehy Supervisor: Alma Persson, Gender Studies, LiU Master’s Programme Gender Studies – Intersectionality and Change Master’s thesis 15 ECTS credits ISRN: LIU-TEMA G/GSIC1-A—19/015-SE Marie Zafimehy 2 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ABSTRACT For decades, situational comedies — commonly named “sitcoms” — have been racially segregated on TV between Black-cast sitcoms and White-cast sitcoms. Extensive research has been led about representation of Black and White masculinities in this segregated context. This master thesis studies what happens when White and Black males are equally casted as main characters in contemporary sitcoms by offering a case-study of the 2011 sitcom New Girl (2011-2017). How is Black masculinity represented in New Girl, and in which ways does it intersect with contemporary societal issues (e.g. racial profiling, Black Lives Matter movement)? This case-study uses tools, methodologies and concepts, drawn from Black and Intersectional feminism as well as Feminist media studies. Based on a 25 episodes sample of the show, it implements Ronald Jackson’s traditional stereotypes classification and “Black masculine identity theory” (Jackson, 2006) to study representations of Black masculinity in New Girl, through its two main Black male characters, Winston and Coach. Given that representations of minorities in popular culture reflect and influence our contemporary society, the results offer new insights about how sitcoms, series and pop- culture productions in general can challenge traditional stereotypes and display a more progressive Black masculinity. Key words: Black feminism, Feminist media studies, Men and masculinities, Representation, New Girl, Sitcoms Marie Zafimehy 3 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to Johanna Hägg and Sebastian Ingels who successively shared their Netflix access codes with me.

  • Dos and Donts for Comforting Grieving Families After Suicide
    Do's and Don'ts for Comforting Grieving Families After a Suicide BY DAWN ANDERSON , CP GUEST CONTRIBUTOR September 4, 2014|7:48 am "What miserable comforters you all are!" (Job 16:2b). (Courtesy of Dawn Anderson) After my husband died by suicide, most people were wonderful, but a few said inappropriate things that made this difficult time harder. I'm now a pastor and facilitator for Christian Survivors of Suicide support group in Dallas, and have heard many comforter "horror stories" similar to Job's over the years. I believe most "miserable comforters" genuinely want to help the grieving person, but are making the mistaken assumption that there are "magic words" that relieve pain. This misguided belief causes the would-be comforter to not realize how certain remarks actually feel to a person in deep grief. I asked survivors of loved ones' suicides to tell me the worst things people said to them in their times of grief, and have attempted to categorize those remarks by the feelings they invoked in the survivors. Minimizing the loss: "At least you have other children." "You're strong; you can handle it." "You have so much to be grateful for." "Well he was bipolar, right? Could have seen that coming." These types of comments add to the pain of grief because they attempt to reduce the loss and make it seem less painful, rather than recognizing the deep suffering the suicide survivor is experiencing. Giving unsolicited advice: "You need to get over it and move on." "Be strong." "You'll find a new girl." As with the minimizing remarks, a grieving person needs to feel sad in the present and not think about the future right now.
