Cancel Insert. Trinity Tales Canterbury Tales Opens image gallery Image not available Photos not available for this variation. Randal hears Dante repeat his refrain that he's "not even supposed to be here today" and points out that Dante could have left at any time and prevented the day's events; furthermore, he says they are not as "advanced" as they think they are, or else they would not be stuck in such lowly jobs. Mar 20, Robb rated it it was amazing Shelves: From the Sergeant's point of view—a perspective Grisilde actually shares—Walter's orders must be obeyed, no matter what. Can you please quote these lines for me so I know where you are? I had fun. It ties the View Askew-niverse together tighter even if some of the material is redundant to people familiar with the movies. Dante fights with Randal, trashing the Quick Stop. Any of them? So incomprehensible and seemingly extreme is the behavior of not only the tale's female protagonist, but also its male antagonist, that the answer to that question is far from obvious. But what does the tale mean? The Canterbury Tales Geoffrey Chaucer.

The film is considered a landmark in independent filmmaking and, inwas selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congresswho deemed it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Dante Hicks, a young man who works as a retail clerk at Quick Stop Groceries in Leonardo, New Jerseyis called into work on his day off to cover another employee's morning shift. Soon after opening, Dante's best friend, wisecracking slacker Randal Graves, arrives for his own workday at the video rental store next door. The Tales from the Clerks prepare for another ordinary day immersed in their tedious customer service jobs. Dante repeatedly laments that he is "not even supposed to be here today," while Randal neglects his job at the video store to keep Dante company at the Quick Stop. Tales from the Clerks pass the time engaging in philosophical discussions on a wide variety of topics, including movies, sex, relationships, and difficult customers. Some of the customers they encounter during the day are angry and demanding; others, clueless and impolite; still others prove unexpectedly wise. After several hours, Dante discovers that his boss has left on a trip to Vermontleaving him to run the store alone for the rest of the day.

  • JAY and SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK Screenplay by Kevin Smith
    JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK Screenplay by Kevin Smith OVER BLACK WE SEE: CHYRON A long time ago, in front of a convenience store far, far away-- EXT. QUICK STOP YEARS AGO--DAY We FADE IN on the block of stores (Quick Stop/RST), from sometime ago, In fact, RST isn't RST; it's THE RECORD RACK -- a 45's store with head shop paraphernalia in the window. A white-trash MOTHER (maybe seventeen) wearing a baseball cap comes into frame carrying a chubby BABY. The Baby wears an oversized t-shirt under what looks like a little bathrobe, and messily eats a CHOCOLATE BAR. There are food stamps in the Mother's hands. MOTHER Bobby-Boy stay here while mommy picks up the free cheese, 'kay? She looks up at the bright sun, shielding her eyes slightly, then looks back at the baby on the ground. She takes off her baseball cap and places it on the baby. MOTHER This'll keep the sun out of your eyes. You be good now. She walks away, leaving the baby sitting against the wall. With the backwards baseball cap and the chocolate around his mouth forming something that resembles a beard, the kid looks kind of familiar. Then, another MOTHER (also very young) decked out in a KISS concert shirt from years gone by and huge, feathered hair enters, with a black skullcap wearing BABY slung at her hip. She sees the first Baby, sitting against the wall and sets her Baby down beside him. MOTHER Don't fucking move, you little shit- machine.

Since age sixteen or so, I would rely on the music magazines (and eventually websites) curated by members of Gen X for signals about what sorts of music I should listen to, what kinds of old albums were schlock and which would earn me a respectful nod from the record store clerk when I purchased them, and eventually what sorts of films were worthwhile.

  • Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines Part
    “Too Fat to Fly” Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines Part One (Warning: case contains explicit language) Too Fat to Fly: Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines - Part 1 Page 2 1. Overview On February 13, 2010, writer and director Kevin Smith hopped an earlier Southwest flight from Oakland to Burbank, California sacrificing the comfort of two seats he purchased originally, to get home a couple hours earlier (Schwalback and Smith, 2010). What started off as a simple compromise, ended in humiliation for the admittedly overweight director, when he was ejected from the flight in accordance with Southwest’s Customer of Size policy (McNeill, 2010). Smith, a regular social media user, quickly took to twittering his experience to his reported 1.6 million followers, blasting Southwest for both its policy and poor handling of the situation in a series of posts over a few hours (Schwalback and Smith, 2010). What, according to Southwest, was the result of a few staffers trying to accommodate both passengers and policy (McNeill, 2010; Rutherford, 2010), erupted into one of the most talked about social media controversies of the year. 2. The Cast of Characters 2.1 Kevin Smith A writer, director and producer, 40-year old Kevin Smith was catapulted to fame when his first film, Clerks, was honoured at both the Sundance and Cannes film festivals. It was at Sundance where the film, made for a meager $27,000 in the convenience store where Smith was employed, was picked up by Miramax, going on to make over $3 million (Wasserstein, 2006). Since then, Smith has produced such critically acclaimed films as Chasing Amy and Mallrats, as well as flops like Jersey Girls (Wasserstein, 2010).
