You might arrive to work earlier than everyone else, impeccably dressed, with your High Anxiety neatly styled. Coworkers may say you are driven in your work —you've never missed a deadline or fallen short in a given task. What's more, your social schedule also seems busy and full. It may have been nervous energy, fear of failureand being afraid of disappointing others that drove you to success. Though High Anxiety desperately need a day off work to get yourself together, you're often too afraid to High Anxiety in sick. Nobody would ever believe something was wrong, because you always portrayed yourself as being fine. If these characteristics sound familiar, here's a look at what you might experience or what others might observe of you if you have high functioning anxiety.

Master of Science in Criminal Justice, August 2002, 102pp., 28 tables, 1 figure, references, 92 titles. Public perceptions about serial homicide are more mythical than fact. Myths about serial homicide are perpetuated through several sources, especially the entertainment media. The number of films depicting serial killers and serial killing themes has increased in recent years. However, the reality of these films is debatable. This research examines the reality of the films involving a serial killing theme. Hickey provides statistical information on serial killers and serial killings. A content analysis of the fifty top grossing serial killer movies made between 1980 and 2001 was conducted using variables from Hickey research. Research shows similarities and differences between variables, however, results concludes the entertainment media does not accurately portray serial homicide. Copyright 2002 By Sarah Scott McCready ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author would like to acknowledge the tremendous amount of time, effort, and support given by Professor Tory Caeti, Ph.D.

Film Review Double Take | Film | the Guardian
Film review: Double Take | Film | The Guardian 21/05/10 12:39 Double Take Alfred Hitchcock meets himself in this disturbing fantasy Peter Bradshaw guardian.co.uk, Thursday 1 April 2010 22.25 BST Double Take No better way to mark the 50th anniversary of Psycho (the rerelease is reviewed on page 8) than with this bizarre and distinctly inspired mash-up by writer Tom McCarthy and film-maker Johan Grimonprez. Their ever so slightly mad cine-essay, based on a Borgès short story, and perhaps influenced by British film-maker Chris Petit, is a delirious bad trip, imagining that Alfred Hitchcock, working on the set of The Birds in 1962, is visited by his own double: the near-dead Hitchcock from 1980, who enigmatically hints at how cold war history may or may not turn out. (The older Hitchcock double is of course only slightly better informed on this subject than the younger.) Double Take Production year: 2009 Country: Rest of the world Cert (UK): 12A Runtime: 80 mins Directors: Johan Grimonprez Cast: Delfine Bafort, Mark Perry, Ron Burrage More on this film Grimonprez and McCarthy achieve their fiction with a drawling Hitchcockian voiceover narration with staged fragments on video, an interview with a professional Hitchcock lookalike, along with clips of Hitchcock movies, a swirling recurrence of Bernard Herrmann's Psycho score, and a quite brilliant reuse of Hitchcock's jokey and little- remembered appearances fronting his TV show, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, in which the Master's clowning-around and dressing-up assumes a potent and sinister character: fleeting images of a remembered dream.

If You Meet Your Double, You Should Kill Him 141

If You Meet Your Double, The eyes of the emperor and poet looked with indifference on black tresses and black dances and golden masks; the real merged and You Should Kill Him mingled with the dreamed—or the real, rather, was one of the shapes Johan Grimonprez on Double Take by the dream took.

It was at the foot of the penultimate tower that the poet (who had appeared untouched by the spectacles which all the others had so greatly marvelled at) recited the brief composition that we link indissolubly to his name today, the words which, as the most ele- gant historians never cease repeating, garnered the poet immor- tality and death.

Translating Wordplay in Mel Brooks' Spaceballs
Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com World Scientific News 8 (2015) 97-175 EISSN 2392-2192 Translating Wordplay in Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men In Tights Jolanta Mikołajczak Faculty of Humanistic, University of Humanities and Economics in Lodz, 26 Sterlinga Street, 90-212 Lodz, Poland E-mail adres: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present thesis aims at presenting wordplay in selected films by an American director Mel Brooks and comparing the original items with their Polish translations found in the dialogue lists prepared for the needs of Polish television and DVD edition by Elżbieta Gałązka-Salamon (TV version of both films), Janusz Kiezik (the DVD edition of “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”) and Gelula and Co., Inc. (DVD edition of “Spaceballs”). The films chosen for the needs of the analysis are “Spaceballs” released in 1987 and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” released in 1993. The first one is a science-fiction story of a space pilot and his crew fighting against evil creatures in order to save a peace-loving planet and its beautiful princess. The main plot is enriched by witty observations on the problem of merchandizing and cowardly presidents of the whole nations as well as popular motives of power, friendship and love. The other film exploits an ageless story of a famous English hero of Sherwood who defended the poor, robbed the rich and opposed Prince John the Lackland’s brutal policy. Although the story follows well-known legends and stories along with Maid Marian and a famous fight over the toll, it is somehow twisted to suit contemporary viewers’ tastes by removing dark features of mediaeval times such as cruelty, religious intolerance or overwhelming dirt and introducing characters not commonly associated with Robin Hood like Arab exchange students or a witch called Latrine.
