  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Raised Wrong Educated Worse
    DIBQUFS!2!! XIZ!BSF!UIFZ!TP!CBE@! § 1 ~ Products of a Flawed Socialization Process What is wrong with so many Black boys? Who is raising them to be so disrespectful? Why do they have such little regard for school and the entire educational process? Why are they so damn bad? These are the pressing questions that teachers, school staff members, parents, concerned family, and community members all across America are constantly asking. Some ask themselves, others ask their designated leaders, yet very few people are satisfied with the vague, one-sided answers that they have been getting. After reading this book, you should better understand the an- swers to these popular questions. It stands true for young Black males, just as it does for all human beings, that absolutely none of us act the way that we act out of a vacuum or simply because that’s the way that we always wanted to act. We are all social- ized first by our guardians and surrounding family mem- bers, later by school and our peers, and at all times by both our local communities and the greater society through powerful institutions such as the church, the government, the media, the entertainment industry, and civic/community organizations. Socialization is the process over time through which a child is instructed and encouraged how to act, as well as how not to act. Many factors play into whether or not an individual will accept or reject the behavioral ten- dencies that he has been trained to follow by his parents, 5 school, local community, and greater society.

  • BOARDWALK EMPIRE "In God We Trust" by Reginald Beltran Based
    BOARDWALK EMPIRE "In God We Trust" By Reginald Beltran Based on characters by Terence Winter Reginald Beltran [email protected] FADE IN: EXT. FOREST - DAY A DEAD DOE lies on the floor. Blood oozes out of a fatal bullet wound on its side. Its open, unblinking eyes stare ahead. The rustling sound of leaves. The fresh blood attracts the attention of a hungry BEAR. It approaches the lifeless doe, and claims the kill for itself. The bear licks the fresh blood on the ground. More rustling of the undergrowth. The bear looks up and sees RICHARD HARROW, armed with a rifle, pushing past a thicket of trees and branches. For a moment, the two experienced killers stare at each other with unblinking eyes. One set belongs to a primal predator and the other set is half man, half mask. The bear stands on its two feet. It ROARS at its competitor. Richard readies his rifle for a shot, but the rifle is jammed. The bear charges. Calmly, Richard drops to one knee, examines the rifle and fixes the jam. He doesn’t miss a beat. He steadies the rifle and aims it. BANG! It’s a sniper’s mark. The bear drops to the ground immediately with a sickening THUD. Blood oozes out of a gunshot wound just under its eyes - the Richard Harrow special. EXT. FOREST - NIGHT Even with a full moon, light is sparse in these woods. Only a campfire provide sufficient light and warmth for Richard. A spit has been prepared over the fire. A skinned and gutted doe lies beside the campfire.

  • Boardwalk Empire’ Comes to Harlem
    ENTERTAINMENT ‘Boardwalk Empire’ Comes to Harlem By Ericka Blount Danois on September 9, 2013 “One looks down in secret and sees many things,” Dr. Valentin Narcisse (Jeffrey Wright) deadpans, speaking to Chalky White (Michael K. Williams). “You know what I saw? A servant trying to be a king.” And so begins a dance of power, politics and personality between two of the most electrifying, enigmatic actors on the television screen today. Each time the two are on screen—together or apart—they breathed new life into tonight’s premiere episode of Boardwalk Empire season four, with dark humor, slight smiles, powerful glances, smart clothes and killer lines. Entitled “New York Sour,” the episode opened with bombast, unlike the slow boil of previous seasons. Set in 1924, we’re introduced to the tasteful opulence of Chalky White’s new club, The Onyx, decorated with sconces custom-made in Paris and shimmering, shapely dancing girls. Chalky earned an ally, and eventually a partnership to be able to open the club, with former political boss and gangster Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) by saving Nucky’s life last season. This sister club to the legendary Cotton Club in Harlem is Whites-only, but features Black acts. There are some cringe-worthy moments when Chalky, normally proud and infallible, has to deal with racism and bends over to appease his White clientele. But more often, Chalky—a Texas- born force to be reckoned with—breathes an insistent dose of much needed humor into what sometimes devolves into cheap shoot ’em up thrills this season. The meeting of the minds between Narcisse and Chalky takes root in the aftermath of a mistake by Chalky’s right hand man, Dunn Purnsley (Erik LaRay Harvey), who engages in an illicit interracial tryst that turns out to be a dramatic, racially-charged sex game gone horribly wrong.

  • 60 Moral Emotions, Antiheroes and the Limits of Allegiance Alberto N
    Pre-copy-edited version of “Moral Emotions, Antiheroes and the Limits of Allegiance”, in Emotions in Contemporary TV Series, García, Alberto N. (eds), Palgrave McMillan, Basingstoke, 2016, pp. 52-70. (See Springer website) Moral Emotions, Antiheroes and the Limits of Allegiance Alberto N. García 1. Introduction According to its creator, Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008-13) describes the moral corruption of a normal man, the conversion of Mr. Chips to Scarface. In ‘Full Measures’ (3.13), the moral and emotional complexity of the story is encapsulated in a seemingly incidental scene. We see Walter White in his living room, giving little Holly a bottle of milk. A close up shows how the baby grabs at his glasses, and in this moment of paternal tenderness, the writers cunningly re-humanize a character who just executed two thugs and minutes later ordered the death of his lab partner, as if to remind us that, at heart, ‘he’s really just a family man’ forced by circumstances to take matters into his own hands. This important step in the metamorphosis of Walter is again mitigated by several factors: children, the family and everyday domestic life. Self-defence is of course the justification for these deaths, but the devotion of a father towards his little baby also enter into the moral and emotional equation that characterises Breaking Bad. Like AMC’s acclaimed hit, many contemporary series—especially those on cable TV—are full of characters that we love, broadly speaking, despite the many vile actions they have committed: Tony Soprano, Nancy Botwin, Don Draper, Jackie Peyton and Al Swearengen.

  • The Alcoholic Q&A with Author Jonathan Ames and Artist Dean Haspiel
    The Alcoholic Q&A with author Jonathan Ames and artist Dean Haspiel Q. Jonathan, you’ve written for TV, including an HBO pilot you’re filming this fall called Bored To Death; newspapers, including a column for the NY Press; and are the author of numerous books of essays and fiction including, What’s Not To Love? and Wake Up Sir! Now, a graphic novel? How did this happen? Ames: It happened because my good friend Dean Haspiel kept suggesting that we collaborate. I've always been a fan of Charles Bukowski and had seen some stories of his which were accompanied by illustrations from R. Crumb, so the idea of doing something similar with Dean appealed to me. Then Dean illustrated Harvey Pekar's The Quitter for Vertigo/DC and one day he brought me in to meet his editor for lunch and I don't know what we ate, but over the course of the meal, I suddenly had this idea for a comic about an alcoholic, called The Alcoholic; in my mind, it would be a perils-of-Pauline sort of tale—the alcoholic always in danger and getting into trouble, and this idea further blossomed and became the book . Q. Jonathan, the protagonist, Jonathan A. looks a lot like you, but the work is fictional. How much of the character really is you? Ames: Well, we share a lot of the same emotional DNA and we've had some similar experiences, but we are quite different in many ways and so he's his own strange person.

    Bored to Death "The Case of Pomeranian Guilt" By Eli Edelson Spec Script Eli Edelson 914-310-8844 [email protected] © Copyright. Eli Edelson 2015 1 EXT. CENTRAL PARK, ROAD BY SHEEP MEADOW - DAY JONATHAN AMES, 30s, short and intellectual with hipster hair, runs furiously after a pudgy investment banker guy, DANIEL UZBECKERMAN, carrying a Pomeranian dog in a satchel. JONATHAN Drop the pooch Uzbeckerman! UZBECKERMAN Go fuck yourself weirdo! They dodge between droves of MOMS and DADS running with BABY STROLLERS. The dog obnoxiously yelps with fear. JONATHAN Drop your girlfriend’s dog! UZBECKERMAN Or what?! My net worth is over fifteen million, you can’t touch me! Both of them start to get sweaty and slow, clearly not runners. JONATHAN Just buy your own dog then. UZBECKERMAN Diocletian is my dog! They near a busy central park street/path. Uzbeckerman runs through one of those summer Sunday rollerblading parties with a DJ. Jonathan struggles to follow and collides with a gigantic shirtless gay man on roller-blades, goes down hard. Uzbeckerman suddenly slips on a pile of horseshit and the dog goes flying from the satchel. It lands right in front of an incoming horse carriage, the driver doesn’t see the tiny creature. CLOSE ON the Pomeranian’s pained, existential expression. This was my destiny? This is how it ends? It’s just too horrible. We CUT AWAY as the carriage fails to stop. Screams of horror ensue... FADE OUT. TEXT INSERT: 2 DAYS LATER 2. 2 INT. GEORGE ON JANE RESTAURANT BATHROOM - AFTERNOON Ames stands in a cramped stall with a faux-cigarette pipe between his fingers, pressed up against his two closest compatriots: RAY HUESTON, robust but short, absurd and bearded, and GEORGE CHRISTOPHER, a tall silver fox a la George Plimpton.

During the years of Prohibition, police enforced the ban on making, transporting and selling alcoholic beverages. In this image, we see a police raid at Elk Lake, Canada, during 1925. Online via Archives of Ontario. Johnny Torrio was right when he saw Prohibition as a lucrative opportunity for organized crime. Before the "Noble Experiment" (so called by President Hoover) failed miserably, after just thirteen years, organized crime made staggering amounts of money from the liquor business. A monologue of the time illustrates, in part, how the twenties became "the lawless years." Performing "Donnie Donahue, on Prohibition," William Cahill expressed the mood of many in 1921: When we need a bottle they take it away from us! Because the perceived need was great, the bootlegging trade flourished and led directly to "the lawless decade" of the 1920s. It wasn’t just homemade alcohol, made with a moonshine still, that police tried shut down. Smugglers, called "rumrunners," worked both coasts, illegally importing the banned substance from Canada and Mexico, among other places. The Chesapeake Bay was a "smuggler’s paradise." Bootlegging operations went on everywhere, but many who took the risks were forced to give their profits to city officials.

  • Scorsese on the Boardwalk - Gangster-Tv Med Havudsigt
    Scorsese on The Boardwalk - gangster-tv med havudsigt Af EDVIN VESTERGAARD KAU & STEFFEN MOESTRUP Jimmy: ”Nucky, all I want is an opportunity.” Nucky: ”This is America, ain’t it? Who the fuck’s stopping you?!” Steve Buscemi spiller Enoch ”Nucky” Thompson, økonomichef i Atlantic City. En figur, der er stærkt inspireret af virkelighedens Enoch “Nucky” Johnson, en notorisk berygtet politiker fra selv samme badeby. Boardwalk Empire tager sin begyndelse natten til den 16. januar 1920, hvor forbuddet mod al salg, produktion og transport af alkohol bliver igangsat. I tv-serien er det dog ikke et forbud, der begrædes. Tværtimod. Forbuddet fejres såmænd ... ja, naturligvis med en omgang alkohol (fig. 1). Byens spidser, der ud over Nucky tæller borgmesteren, diverse politikere samt Nuckys bror Elias ”Eli” Thompson, der yderst belejligt er byens sherif, har også god sans for for- retning. Og forbuddet mod alkohol er god forretning – i hvert fald hvis man ikke har noget imod den mere lyssky udgave. Efterspørgslen er jo den sam- me, men tilgængeligheden mindre. Det giver en højere pris, og da de udad- til distingverede herrer ikke mangler flosset moral og gerne beskytter hinan- den, er der lagt i ovnen til nogle glade år under forbudstiden. Fig. 1. Boardwalk Empire tager sin begyndelse natten til 16. ja- nuar 1920, hvor forbuddet mod al salg, produktion og transport af al- kohol bliver igangsat.

Som historisk forskning har påvist, var forbudstiden muligvis givtig i forhold til at nedsætte forbruget af alkohol, men nogen gavnlig effekt på samfundet kan det ikke siges at have haft.

    The Covetables Yes, we’d all like to live in the Dakota. Or 740 Park, the Beresford, or 15 CPW. In addition to those old standbys of lust­worthiness, the city is brimming with slightly less bold­faced but equally desirable buildings— that are just as impossible to penetrate.
