It did veer into the unbelievable at times, and some of the outlines were not filled in quite as much as could have been desired, but, all in all, a thoroughly tearful time was had by everyone. The most disputed aspect of the episode dealt with Hawkeye's "nervous disorder." We learn that the pressures of the past years of horror came to a head in a bus incident. A Korean woman carried an infant on the bus, which was stopped and blacked-out to avoid enemy fire. Because the baby was crying, Hawkeye became upset that this noise would draw enemy artillery to their location. He approaches the woman and hisses to her to "shut that damn thing up." Not knowing what else to do, the mother smothers her child. Hawkeye represses this, turning the child into a chicken (also representative of his "I can't believe it," said honorary E-6 own fears), but with the help of visiting resident Chris Alverez, "this is more than psychiatrist Sidney Freedman's help, NBC's Anna anyone expected."

  • Art Directors Guild to Induct Three Legendary Production Designers Into Its Hall of Fame at 18Th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards February 8, 2014
    Art Directors Guild to Induct Three Legendary Production Designers Into Its Hall of Fame at 18th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards February 8, 2014 LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11 — Three legendary Production Designers – Robert Clatworthy, Harper Goff and J. Michael Riva – will be inducted into the Art Directors Guild (ADG) Hall of Fame at the Guild’s 18th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards ceremony to be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 8, 2014, as announced today by ADG Council Chairman John Shaffner and Awards Producers Raf Lydon and Dave Blass. In making the announcement Shaffner said, “Clatworthy, Goff and Riva join a distinguished group of ADG Hall of Famers, whose collective work parallels the best of motion picture and television production design. They are most worthy and welcomed additions.” Nominations for the 18th Annual ADG Excellence in Production Design Awards will be announced on January 9, 2014. On awards night, February 8, the ADG will present winners in ten competitive categories for theatrical films, television productions, commercials and music videos. Recipient of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award will be Production Designer and Art Director Rick Carter, as previously announced. The Excellence in Production Design Awards are open only to productions, when made within the U.S., by producers signatory to the IATSE agreement. Foreign entries are acceptable without restrictions. ROBERT CLATWORTHY (1911 – 1992) Robert Clatworthy (William Robert Clatworthy) was an Oscar®-winning American Production Designer who worked at Paramount starting in 1938, and at Universal until 1964. In the 1960’s Clatworthy became involved with some of Hollywood’s best directors, including Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kramer.

  • 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: 'Life Lessons'
    Notes 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: ‘Life Lessons’ 1. This trajectory finds its seminal outlining in Caughie (1981a), being variously replicated in, for example, Lapsley and Westlake (1988: 105–28), Stoddart (1995), Crofts (1998), Gerstner (2003), Staiger (2003) and Wexman (2003). 2. Compare the oft-quoted words of Sarris: ‘The art of the cinema … is not so much what as how …. Auteur criticism is a reaction against sociological criticism that enthroned the what against the how …. The whole point of a meaningful style is that it unifies the what and the how into a personal state- ment’ (1968: 36). 3. For a fuller discussion of the conception of film authorship here described, see Grist (2000: 1–9). 4. While for this book New Hollywood Cinema properly refers only to this phase of filmmaking, the term has been used by some to designate ‘either something diametrically opposed to’ such filmmaking, ‘or some- thing inclusive of but much larger than it’ (Smith, M. 1998: 11). For the most influential alternative position regarding what he calls ‘the New Hollywood’, see Schatz (1993). For further discussion of the debates sur- rounding New Hollywood Cinema, see Kramer (1998), King (2002), Neale (2006) and King (2007). 5. ‘Star image’ is a concept coined by Richard Dyer in relation to film stars, but it can be extended to other filmmaking personnel. To wit: ‘A star image is made out of media texts that can be grouped together as promotion, publicity, films and commentaries/criticism’ (1979: 68). 6. See, for example, Grant (2000), or the conception of ‘post-auteurism’ out- lined and critically demonstrated in Verhoeven (2009).

In his first drypoints, Dine brought a fresh and imaginative attitude to printmaking, directly relating this work to his "happenings" and construc­ tion/canvases. He was one of the first to return to the oKJ art of hand-coloring prints, thereby producing a body of work of infinite variety. His most recent work has an expressive, tor­ tured character that expands and may reorient ideas regarding Dine's art and that of his generation.

  • Beaudoin, Faith in Music
    Faith in Music: Attempting a Free, Public, Online Course in Practical Theology Tom Beaudoin Fordham University Abstract The author reviews a free, open, online course on popular music that he taught from a practical theological perspective. By considering several dimensions of the structure and content of the course, and with continual reference to literature in practical theology and cultural studies, he attempts to identify its practical theological significance and to detail a critique opening onto a reconstruction for future iterations of such a course. round the time I was defending my dissertation at Boston College, Thomas Groome handed me an article titled “Music and Practical Theology” by Bernard Reymond from theInternational Journal of Practical Theology.1 Having been introduced by Groome to practical theology several years earlier, Athis was the first work interrelating practical theology and music I had read. Nearly two decades later, I taught a course trying to bring practical theology and music to bear on each other. Having taught the course two years ago, I have spent time reviewing the experience, in its practical theological significance, as I prepare to refine the course for future purposes, including teaching it as a for- credit course, offering it for free in other community contexts, and writing it up as a book. As I reviewed the course, I sorted my learning into several categories. On the one hand are structural and process elements that are theologically saturated: launching the course, motivations for teaching, structure and content, diversity and access; on the other hand are conceptual markers that are theologically saturated: sound theology, God, and faith in music.
