A cab speeds down a dark, bumpy side-street. INT. CAB - CONTINUOUS Looking in his rearview mirror, the cab driver checks out his passenger: a sweaty young man in a gold blazer with a "P" insignia over his breast pocket. Several paper bags on the back seat hedge him in. The young man is immersed in the scrawled list he clutches in his hand. A passing street light momentarily illuminates the list and we glimpse a few of the entries: double-coated waterproof fuse (500 feet); .38 ammo (hollowpoint configuration); potato chips (Lays). GONG SHOW An excerpt from The Gong Show (reenacted). The video image fills the screen. We watch a fat man recite Hamlet, punctuating his soliloquy with loud belching noises. The audience is booing.

In my mind, the golden age of SF cinema was the ‘70s, early ‘80s, when films like Silent Running, Alien, Blade Runner and Outland told human stories in future environments. I’ve always wanted to make a film that felt like it could fit into that canon. There are unquestionably less of those kind of sci-fi films these days. I don’t know why. I have a theory though: I think over the last couple of decades filmmakers have allowed themselves to become a bit embarrassed by SF’s philosophical side. It’s OK to “geek out” at the cool effects and “oooh” and “ahh” at amazing vistas, but we’re never supposed to take it too seriously. We’ve allowed ourselves to be convinced that SF should be frivolous, for teenage boys. We’re told that the old films, the Outlands and Silent Runnings, were too plaintive, too whiney.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications COMPETITION AND PROGRAM TYPE DIVERSITY IN THE OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISION INDUSTRY, 1943-2005 A Thesis in Mass Communications by Young Shin Cho © 2007 Young Shin Cho Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2007 The thesis of Young-Shin Cho was reviewed and approved* by the following: Richard Taylor Palmer Chair of Telecommunications Studies and Law Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Matt Jackson Associate Professor of Communications Krishna Jayakar Associate Professor of Communications Lynette Kvasny Assistant Professor of Information Sciences and Technology John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduates Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Competition and diversity are touchstones in media policy, but the relationship between them is not clear despite a great number of studies because even studies dealing with their relationship, did not measure the intensity of competition. This paper investigates the relationship between market competition and program type diversity in the over-the-air television industry. Specifically, market competition is divided into intra-network competition and intra-media competition, i.e. terrestrial television vs. cable TV. Also this paper uses a comprehensive model of program types, with 281 program type categories, which have never been used in previous studies. The results show that program type diversity keeps decreasing over time and intra-network competition has a negative effect on program type diversity. Also, intra- network competition is a more important factor on program type diversity than inter- media competition.

  • Erage Clearance Rate for Prime Time Was .98 and for Non-Prime-Time It Was .90
    ~_.- rates are higher for prime-time than for non-prime-time programs. The av­ erage clearance rate for prime time was .98 and for non-prime-time it was .90. While there is a relatively narrow range of clearance rates among sta­ tions despite differences in the sizes and structures of the various television markets, the variation in clearance rates among stations is somewhat higher in non-prime time than in prime time. Table D-l Average clearance rates by daypart, 1994 Prime time .977 (.060) Non-prime time .897 (.084) All dayparts .918 (.067) Figures in parentheses are standard deviations. ABC, CBS and NBC have been able to maintain relatively high clearance rates during non-prime-time only by ceasing to offer programming that would obtain low clearances. Table D-2 shows the decrease in the number of non-prime-time hours of programming offered by each network from 1977 to 1994.130 In the aggregate, total programming offered by ABC, CBS and NBC has declined by 25 hours per week since 1977, from a total of 278.5 hours to 253.5 in 1994. The decline in network programming offered reflects the affiliates' decision to choose programs from the variety of al­ ternative programming available instead of choosing to clear the program­ ming offered by the networks. For certain dayparts, the networks have lost the competition and have conceded these low clearance portions of the day to other programming. 130 1977 is the most recent year studied by NISS for which data on the number of hours of network programs offered are available.

    George Clooney Directs Dec 15–20 George Clooney, MoMA’s 2020 film benefit honoree, has crafted an enviable career: his effortless charm both onscreen and off, and serious dedication to his craft, both in front of and behind the camera has been encapsulated in TV and film for audiences around the world. On the eve of the release of his seventh directorial effort, The Midnight Sky, we ​ ​ are pleased to offer our members a look back at three of his earlier films. Confessions of a Dangerous Man. 2002. USA. Directed by George Clooney. Screenplay by ​ Charlie Kaufman. With Sam Rockwell, Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore. 114 min. Roughly 20 years after inimitable game show innovator and host Chuck Barris published his unauthorized autobiography—and multiple attempts at a film adaptation fell through—the project came to life when George Clooney signed on to direct. Clooney’s filmmaking debut is a cavorting, stranger-than-fiction account of Barris’s double life as intrepid television producer and CIA agent. Clooney’s nimble direction of Charlie Kaufman’s screenplay balances absurdist, dark humor with existential quandaries—and creates a perfect platform for Sam Rockwell’s freewheeling portrayal of the completely uncategorizable Barris.
