  • Not Another Teen Movie”
    Uncovering the Function of Taboo Words Used in “Not Another Teen Movie” Dian Mukti Primasari1, Alek2 , Didin Nuruddin Hidayat3, and Dhuha Hadiyansyah4 {[email protected] 1, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} 1,2,3,4UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Indonesia Abstract. The study investigated the use of taboo words in a specific movie, namely Not Another Teen Movies. Taboo stimuli are exceptionally stirring, yet it has been recommended that they likewise have inborn explicit properties, for example, taboo, offensiveness, disagreeableness, or even shock value. Nonetheless, taboo words frequently contrast from different words on something beyond excitement and forbidden properties. In the present study, the researchers replicated both of these discoveries and directed detailed item analyses to figure out which word properties drive a few impacts. The study concludes that the taboo words have several functions. Those are expressing desire, insulting people, expressing pride, cursing and disappointment, metaphor, literal meaning, openness, and hatred expression. Keywords: taboo, words analysis, word function 1. INTRODUCTION Swear words and taboo words can heighten what are stated, yet they can stun or give offense. Swearing and the utilization of forbidden words and articulations are very basic in talking. We frequently hear and use them both in private and in open settings and in movies, on TV and on the radio. The utilization of forbidden articulations recommends that speakers have, or wish to have, a nearby close to home association with others [1]. We additionally utilize unthinkable articulations and swear words when we express solid sentiments, or when we wish to undermine or to be upsetting to other people [2].

Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said the draft plan details the services and programs to be delivered by Council along with an overview of capital works planned for 2010/11. ‘It’s a challenging budget for this upcoming financial year,’ she said in a press release. ‘The recently an- nounced rate pegging of 2.6 per cent by the NSW government makes it impossible to maintain the level of service expected by our residents and ratepayers. ‘A 2.6 per cent cap does not cover the real costs that Council experi- ences and doesn’t allow for increases in electricity, wages and equipment. Unfortunately, the continual cost shifting from the state government to local councils will mean a special rate application for Council for the upcoming financial year.’ Council is seeking a 6.98% special rate increase for 2010/11. The rate in- crease on the general fund will be used for one million dollars’ worth of services and programs including the new Byron Bay Library $100,000, Byron Sport and Cultural Complex $120,000, Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex maintenance $186,000, increased regional library Protesters gathered last Saturday at the proposed Tallowood Ridge Estate subdivision site at Mullumbimby to reinforce their call for residents to attend a contribution $84,000, information Land and Environment Court hearing at the Byron Bay courthouse on Wednesday April 28.

His “Dancing Tomatoes” animation video went viral two years ago and since then Alex has been trying to prove to the world that he can do more than “funny videos, and dancing things”. When he’s pressured by his friend Josh to sign a contract with a yogurt brand to develop the “dancing fruits show” and plunge deeper into artistic superficiality, Alex, instead, buys a ticket to Argentina. The plan is to meet with Sofia, a girl that he started an online relationship with after she left a nasty comment about his work, who he has never seen in person. Alex’s hope to find love and substance will be confronted after finding Sofía living on an island in the outskirts of Buenos Aires with her intimidating artist boyfriend Víctor and his assistant Flor. Alex will be forced to be a fish out of the water and try to capture Sofía’s interest or come back to his old life and sign the contract. SYNOPSIS (short) A conflicted filmmaker travels to Argentina chasing after a girl he met online, only to end up living with her and her intimidating boyfriend on an isolated island on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

    going nowhere? the Politics of Remembering (and Forgetting) Molly Ringwald CHRISTINA LEE Don’t you forget about me Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t.1 Simple Minds Each generation is remembered via seminal icons seen to embody the ‘essence’ of an era, with youth culture contributing an impressive catalogue of key personalities. The canonised likes of James Dean, Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando continue to be memorialised and shrouded in a cloak of mystery, romantic tragedy and myth; with books, movies and television programs functioning as a type of prolonged eulogy to the dead and buried. While they have entered history as notable figures, this paper takes as its subject American film actor and youth icon Molly Ringwald who is of the present but remains firmly, and problematically, entrenched in the past. Under the auspices of filmmaker John Hughes, Ringwald would be hailed as the quintessential teen queen in the mid-1980s. By the time her face graced the front page of a 1986 edition of Time magazine, she was already a household name for a market that crowned her the ‘model modern teen’ and the poster child for teenage angst.2 During her three year reign at the multiplex, the Molly Ringwald phenomenon instigated a media feeding frenzy and spilled onto the streets with devoted fans, the Ringlets, imitating Ringwald’s punk-flapper fashion and flaming mop top. Ringwald’s fame began to descend into obscurity in the late 1980s which coincided with her attempt at breaking into what many considered more adult roles. While it may appear a case of yet another child actor’s unsuccessful transition to adulthood—their novelty and endearing cuteness having worn thin—Ringwald continues to be prolific in film, television and stage productions and has achieved considerable CHRISTINA LEE—GOING NOWHERE? 89 acclaim; even appearing in Jean Luc-Godard’s 1987 film adaptation of King Lear.
