Continue reading → My Friend Dave BY CRAIG FISCHER OCT 25, 2013 Alphabet In his book The Avant-Garde Finds Andy Hardy (1995), Robert Ray argues that film studies has fallen into a rut where most writing follows “the routinized procedures of any academic field,” and where the typical title for a publication or conference presentation is “Barthes, Brecht, Bakhtin, Baudrillard, and all those other people, and Robocop” (5). Ray then suggests that we rouse film studies out of stagnation by abandoning traditional scholarship, at least for a while, in favor of playing surrealistic games with our subject. Movies surprise, infuriate, delight us: unconventional forms of criticism might do the same. One of Ray’s games involves the alphabet. Borrowing a method from Roland Barthes’ eponymous biography, Ray suggests writing criticism in a series of short, “alphabetized fragments, including at least one for every letter” (120). These “alphabetized fragments” can be epigrams (à la Nietzsche), metaphors, anecdotes, lyrical descriptions, short bursts of analysis: what they won’t be is a predictable elaboration of an over-determined thesis.

    In the 1980s a bunch of underground cartoonists parodied a popular doll. The result was GARBAGE PAIL KIDS TRADING CARDS. This product tapped into the international kid zeitgeist. It spoke against the corporate culture that was being fed to a rebellious generation. To quote featured, Pulitzer-Prize winning co-creator Art Spiegelman, “We WERE BRINGING THE COUNTER CULTURE TO A NEW GENERATION OF KIDS, ONLY IT WAS THE CANDY COUNTER. “ There’s a rich cartoon, parody history hidden in these small time capsules known as trading cards. This docu- mentary celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Topps Company Garbage PAIL KIDS. It’s jam-packed with interviews with the original creators, artists and actors of the movie with the same name. Grown-up kids share nostalgic memories of what it was like to be a part of a world-wide sensation. We mark this simple bubble gum collectible as a true art form of the 20th century.

  • Federal Communications Commission 445 12Th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554
    Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Dear Chairman Genachowski and FCC Commissioners: On January 14, 2010, the SavetheInternet.com Coalition filed more than 35,000 signatures on a letter in support of Net Neutrality. Since then, an additional 23,000 Americans have signed on to the attached letter urging you to stand with the public in your commitment to strong Net Neutrality rules. These people signed onto the attached letter prior to the April 6 Comcast v. FCC decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. After April 6, SavetheInternet.com Coalition members gathered more than 200,000 additional signatures on a second letter, calling on the FCC to “reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service.” These additional signatures are filed separately. It’s clear that the public wants the FCC to keep the Internet open and free of corporate gatekeepers. The SavetheInternet.com Coalition urges the FCC to firmly support Net Neutrality. Please restore the agency’s authority over broadband services and move promptly to protect the open Internet with strong Net Neutrality rules. Misty Perez Truedson SavetheInternet.com Free Press 501 Third Street NW, Suite 875 Washington, DC 20001 Ph 202.265.1490 Fax 202.265.1489 April 26, 2010 Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Dear Chairman Genachowski and FCC Commissioners: The public and the president have expressed overwhelming support for Net Neutrality. The FCC must act to keep the Internet open and free of corporate gatekeepers. Without vital Net Neutrality protections, the Internet would cease to be a public platform for free speech, equal opportunity, economic growth and innovation.
