  • Short Review: the “Austin Powers” Films by Dr. John L. Flynn Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), New Line Ci
    Short Review: The “Austin Powers” films by Dr. John L. Flynn Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), New Line Cinema, color, 94 min. Director: Jay Roach. Writer: Mike Myers. Producers: Demi Moore, Mike Myers, etc. Cast: Mike Myers, Elizabeth Hurley, Michael York, and Mimi Rogers. Someone just had to do another spoof series of James Bond movies (the Flint series with James Coburn, the Matt Helm series with Dean Martin, notwithstanding), and Mike Myers also camped up the whole 60’s decade—London’s Carnaby Street fashions, psychedelic art. .Yeah, baby! With Mrs. Kensington (Rogers) in tow, much like The Avengers British TV series, espionage agent Powers (Myers) pursues the loathsome Dr. Evil (Powers too) through the 60’s. Both make the jump to the 1990’s (thanks to the convenience of cryonic sleep), and Dr. Evil sets out to dominate the world, while Powers has plans to shag his former partner’s daughter Vanessa Kensington (the sensuous Hurley). The comedy ranges from satire to bathroom humor, but the babes look great in their tight, leather outfits or short, short skirts and go-go-boots! Who cares if it doesn’t make much sense! Have fun. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). (aka Austin Powers 2). New Line Cinema, Color, 95 min. Director: Jay Roach. Writers: Mike Myers and Michael McCullers. Producers: Demi Moore, Mike Myers, etc. Cast: Mike Myers, Heather Graham, Michael York, and Robert Wagner. Less spoofing and more bathroom humor in this Powers sequel! Dr. Evil (Myers) uses a “Time- Tunnel”- like time machine to travel back to the late 60’s, and steal Powers’ (Myers too) mojo, but sexy, go-go girl Felicity Shagwell (Graham) puts him at his ease with some tender-loving shagging of her own.

  • Representations and Responses to Surrogacy in the Reproduction of the Family
    Representations and responses to surrogacy in the reproduction of the family Lulu Le Vay Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), 2018 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. Wherever contributions of others are involved, these are clearly acknowledged. Lulu Le Vay 2 Acknowledgments Foremost, I want to thank the participants who took part in this project. Without them, this thesis would not have been possible. I also want to thank my supervisors Beverley Skeggs and Rebecca Coleman for their continual support over what has been a challenging process. I will also be eternally grateful to external readers and cheerleaders Hannah Le Vay and Jessica Carlisle. Despite the obstacles, we made it to the finish line. I consider this project a team effort. Dedication This thesis is dedicated to two important women in my life who I lost during the process. My mother Sonja Le Vay, who died in September 2016, and my dear friend Zoe Smith, who died in August 2017. Although my mother was unable to really grasp what the project was about, I knew she was proud of me. She hoped to still be here when I completed – it’s a shame this wasn’t possible. Zoe, on the other hand, was with me every step of the way, reading drafts of chapters when she had the time. Even in the hospice during her last two weeks, she would ask me to keep her updated on my progress, and wanted to know what the latest comments were.

  • Yeah Baby, Yeah! a Case Study of a Film's “Shagadellic” Transition Into
    Yeah Baby, yeah! A case study of a film’s “shagadellic” transition into Italian as packaged on a DVD. Romina Lerina Crosato A Research Report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation. Johannesburg, February 2005 ABSTRACT This paper analyses the decisions made in the dubbing of a comedy of a specific genre, that is, in the translation of the humour used in the English film Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me into Italian Austin Powers, La Spia Che Ci Provava as packaged on a DVD. The study attempts to answer the following question: Does the dubbing of a film diminish the humourous appeal of the film? i DECLARATION I declare that this Research Project is my own unaided work. It is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation. It has not been submitted for any degree or examination in any other University. __________________________________________ ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude towards my parents and brothers for their unlimited support over these past two years. I will never forget their words of encouragement “Never, never give up”. Without their guidance I would never have had the courage and strength to complete this research report. Thank you also to a special friend who guided and assisted me every step of the way. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the support of my supervisor, Dr Libby Meintjes.
