He showcased his talents as a leading actor playing the outcast-turned-cool-kid throughout his near-decade run. He took position behind the camera as well, both writing and directing an episode of the series. Murray is currently in production on the action-thriller Killing Field, starring as Eric, a man whose life on his serene farm is interrupted when a cop and a pair of dangerous criminals shows up. Bruce Willis, Kate Katzman, Donna D’errico, Swen Temmel, and Zack Ward also star. Murray most recently wrapped production on Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman, starring as America’s most infamous serial killer. The film is slated for theatrical release in August 2021 through Fathom Events. He will also be seen in the upcoming “The Fortress” and “The Fortress 2,” also starring Bruce Willis as well as Jesse Metcalfe. Recently, he starred in the television movies “Colors of Love” and “Too Close for Christmas,” both opposite Jessica Lowndes.

  • I1465 I SHOT ANDY WARHOL (USA, 1996) (Other Titles: Ho Sparato a Andy Warhol)
    I1465 I SHOT ANDY WARHOL (USA, 1996) (Other titles: Ho sparato a Andy Warhol) Credits: director, Mary Harron ; writers, Mary Harron, Daniel Minahan. Cast: Lili taylor, Jared Harris, Stephen Dorff, Martha Plimpton. Summary: Biographical melodrama set in 1960s New York City. A journey into the cultural whirlwind of events surrounding Valerie Solanas’ shooting of pop-art superstar Andy Warhol. Solanis (Taylor) arrived in mid-‘60s New York City with a single-minded mission: to spread the word on female superiority. While feverishly putting her radical ideas down on paper, she becomes a fringe member of the psychedelic entourage surrounding Andy Warhol (Harris). But when her feminist zeal grows too bizarre and violent, even for this avant-garde circle, the consequences are explosive. Includes passing references to the anti-Vietnam War movement.

    The Patriot Issue 1 Washington Township High School, Sewell, NJ October 2008 Something to cheer about Contract issues in past, WTHS returns to normal Katie Mount ‘09 With the turbulent, 2007-8 school year behind, the students and staff of Washington Township High School are looking forward to what they hope will be a smoother one. “The 2008 school year began very smoothly,” WTHS Principal Rosemarie Farrow said. “... our students, expecially the seniors, seemed very excited to be off and running.” Last year, WTHS was negatively affected by the teacher negotiation dilemma. When the Board of Education and the Teahcer’s Association reached a stalemate, the Washington Township Education Association (WTEA) decided that the members would not volunteer for school events. Their attempt was to draw attention to the negotiation problem, but in doing so, many students were affected. Many activities were cancelled, and many students were disappointed. Now, with the contract issue solved, many staff Gina Parker ‘09/The Patriot members are again stepping forward to volunteer. Students share the good times as they display school spirit at a recent football game. “I’m glad that teachers are volunteering junior and senior girls do the playing, and the of volunteers. again,” Shamera Morales ‘11 stated. “I was a boys are the ones cheering.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Unreliable narration in Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho: Interaction between narrative form and thematic content Abstract In this paper I analyse the narrative technique of unreliable narration in Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho (1991). Critics have been split about the reliability of Patrick Bateman, the novel’s gruesome narrator- protagonist. Using a new model for the detection of unreliable narration, I show that textual signs indicate that Patrick Bateman can be interpreted as an unreliable narrator. This paper reconciles two critical debates: (1) the aforementioned debate surrounding American Psycho, and (2) the debate surrounding the concept of unreliable narration itself. I show that my new model provides a solution to the weaknesses which have been identified in the rhetorical and cognitive models previously used to detect unreliable narration. Specifically, this new model reconciles the problematic reliance on the implied author in the rhetorical model, and the inconsistency of textual signs which is a weakness of the cognitive approach.

  • Wonder Waif Meets Super Neuter
    Wonder Waif Meets Super Neuter CATHERINE LORD “As far as I’m concerned, the guy was a fucking saint.”1 The fucking saint is Michel Foucault. The guy who wrote the sentence is David Halperin, whose Saint Foucault: Toward a Gay Hagiography is one of the most battered books in my library. I scribble and underline not because I revere Michel Foucault, or David, although I do, in different ways, but because I cannot resist a good polemic: Oscar Wilde’s De Profundis, for example, Malcolm X on white devils, and Yvonne Rainer’s No to everything she could think of in 1965. To write a polemic is a for- mal challenge. It is to connect the most miniscule of details with the widest of panoramas, to walk a tightrope between rage and reason, to insist that ideas are nothing but lived emotion, and vice versa. To write a polemic is to try to dig oneself out of the grave that is the margin, that already shrill, already colored, already feminized, already queered location in which words, any words, any com- bination of words are either symptoms of madness or proof incontrovertible of guilt by association. Halperin’s beatification of Foucault is a disciplined absur- dity, at once an evisceration of homophobia and an aria to the fashioning of a queer self. You don’t get to be a saint without pulling off a miracle or two. Foucault’s History of Sexuality was, says Halperin, the “single most important source of political 1. David M.

THE LIFE AND TIME OF TIM HETHERINGTON A MOVING PORTRAIT OF THE ACCLAIMED WAR PHOTOGRAPHER AND FILMMAKER BY JOURNALIST SEBASTIAN JUNGER HIS “RESTREPO” CO-DIRECTOR On April 20, 2011, shortly after the release of his documentary “Restrepo” — and only six weeks after attending the Oscar® ceremony as a nominee — photographer and filmmaker Tim Hetherington was killed by mortar fire in the city of Misrata, Libya, where he’d been covering the civil war. He bled out in the back of a pick-up truck while being raced to the hospital, comforted by a Spanish photojournalist who was holding his hand and trying to keep him awake. Those moments ended a brilliant ten-year career in which Hetherington not only covered such dramatic frontline stories as Liberia and Afghanistan, but also transcended the conventional boundaries of image-making to become one of the most important journalists of his generation. In the powerful new feature-length HBO documentary WHICH WAY IS THE FRONT LINE FROM HERE? THE LIFE AND TIME OF TIM HETHERINGTON, bestselling author Sebastian Junger (“The Perfect Storm,” “War”), Hetherington’s “Restrepo” co-director, traces his close friend’s work across the world's battlefields to reveal what made him such a singular talent — and remarkable human being.

    AMERICAN PSYCHO by Mary Harron and Guinevere Turner Based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis Fourth Draft November 1998 INT. PASTELS RESTAURANT- NIGHT An insanely expensive restaurant on the Upper East Side. The decor is a mixture of chi-chi and rustic, with swagged silk curtains, handwritten menus and pale pink tablecloths decorated with arrangements of moss, twigs and hideous exotic flowers. The clientele is young, wealthy and confident, dressed in the height of late-eighties style: pouffy Lacroix dresses, slinky Alaïa, Armani power suits. CLOSE-UP on a WAITER reading out the specials. WAITER With goat cheese profiteroles and I also have an arugula Caesar salad. For entrées tonight I have a swordfish meatloaf with onion marmalade, a rare-roasted partridge breast in raspberry coulis with a sorrel timbale... Huge white porcelain plates descend on very pale pink linen table cloths. Each of the entrees is a rectangle about four inches square and look exactly alike. CLOSE-UP on various diners as we hear fragments of conversation. "Is that Charlie Sheen over there?" "Excuse me? I ordered cactus pear sorbet." WAITER And grilled free-range rabbit with herbed French fries. Our pasta tonight is a squid ravioli in a lemon grass broth... CLOSE-UP on porcelain plates containing elaborate perpendicular desserts descending on another table. PATRICK BATEMAN, TIMOTHY PRICE, CRAIG MCDERMOTT and DAVID VAN PATTEN are at a table set for four. They are all wearing expensively cut suits and suspenders and have slicked-back Script provided for educational purposes.
