  • A Dollop of Clint Eastwood: Subjective Scores for 10 Random Movies
    A Dollop of Clint Eastwood: Subjective Scores for 10 Random Movies By Gary Heartsill May 1, 2021 1 The Mule (2018) Clint Eastwood acted, directed, and produced. (1:56:23) With Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Pena, Dianne Wiest, Andy Garcia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc5AWImplfE Score 9.2 Don't let the old man in, I wanna leave this alone1 Can't leave it up to him, he's knocking on my door And I knew all of my life, that someday it would end Get up and go outside, don't let the old man in Saw in the credits the name Jan Hartsell, who was the ‘Beauty School Admin’ and Iris was played by Alison Eastwood – for what that is worth. The Dykes on Bikes comment was great. This movie is done well, meaning it is enjoyable to watch especially with the apprehension of what is going to happen next. Course, the whole theme is in Toby’s song and I have heard Clint remark to someone when he was asked what the movie was about he said “Don’t let the old man in.” He finally figured out he would have to pay the price for doing all his driving. Am kinda glad we didn’t see too much of the bad guys doing what they do to folks who don’t deliver. And deliver he did. Everyone will have gone down the road with him singing his songs and celebrating when he opened the glove to get his keys and manilla envelope. For some it will be easy to see what this ole Mule really was doing.

There are often events within an industry in which massive amounts 12 of money are earned that reveal a viral-like infection of greed, lack of ethics, and 13 criminal behavior festering therein. We have seen these infections and their fallout 14 within Wall Street, presently within professional sports, and sometimes, within 15 Hollywood. This case is about a conspiracy to steal the body, structure, theme, and 16 soul of a unique, original, copyrighted screenplay from a production company and 17 its owner and the ensuing attempt to camouflage the stolen screenplay, toss the 18 credits to some of the conspirators, and the profits to those either in on the scam or 19 who recklessly turned a blind eye to benefit from the theft. The conspiracy alleged 20 herein, and relatedDEADLINE.com cover-up is unprecedented in nature. The acts alleged were 21 mostly intentional and at other times reckless; and, were carried out in a very 22 covert manner. This was a racket, in the sense of intentional, illegal activity. 23 2.

  • The Studio System and Conglomerate Hollywood
    TCHC01 6/22/07 02:16 PM Page 11 PART I THE STRUCTURE OF THE INDUSTRY TCHC01 6/22/07 02:16 PM Page 12 TCHC01 6/22/07 02:16 PM Page 13 CHAPTER 1 THE STUDIO SYSTEM AND CONGLOMERATE HOLLYWOOD TOM SCHATZ Introduction In August 1995 Neal Gabler, an astute Hollywood observer, wrote an op-ed piece for The New York Times entitled “Revenge of the Studio System” in response to recent events that, in his view, signaled an industry-wide transformation (Gabler 1995). The previous year had seen the Seagram buyout of MCA-Universal, Time Warner’s purchase of the massive Turner Broadcasting System, and the launch of Dream- Works, the first new movie studio since the classical era. Then on August 1 came the bombshell that provoked Gabler’s editorial. Disney announced the acquisition of ABC and its parent conglomerate, Cap Cities, in a $19 billion deal – the second- largest merger in US history, which created the world’s largest media company. Disney CEO Michael Eisner also disclosed a quarter-billion-dollar deal with Mike Ovitz of Hollywood’s top talent agency, Creative Artists, to leave CAA and run the Disney empire. For Gabler, the Disney deals confirmed “a fundamental shift in the balance of power in Hollywood – really the third revolution in the relationship between industry forces.” Revolution I occurred nearly a century before with the formation of the Hollywood studios and the creation of a “system” that enabled them to con- trol the movie industry from the 1920s through the 1940s. Revolution II came with the postwar rise of television and the dismantling of the studio system by the courts, which allowed a new breed of talent brokers, “most notably Lew Wasserman of the Music Corporation of America [MCA],” to usurp control of the film industry.

The example ofFriendly Persuasion is used to illustrate how US society acknowledges religious pacifist beliefs and argues that the Quaker (Society of Friends) ‘peace testimony’ is shown in the film in an intelligent and respectful way and as a proxy for a broader democratic anti-war perspective.

Italia USA 2008 Released 13/03/2009 Length: 116 Min by Francesca Tognetti Migration does not mean only flows of people on the move: migration, in its secondary effects, is currently an actual stable aspect of our world, cities and neighbourhoods. Since the multicultural frame deriving from migration is part of our everyday life, contemporary representations (such as literature and cinema) try to portray the contradictory image of such a complex reality. Nowadays migration turns out to live next door: it rings our bell and we have to face up to it, as the surface of a mirror reflecting something we would perhaps prefer not to see. From the very first scenes, this film works as a looking glass, reflecting two houses and the worlds living inside them: only separated by a typical white fence and by two adjacent gardens, two twin buildings mirror each other, by shaping their inhabitants’ identities. What firstly appears as completely different turns finally out to be simply reflected and overturned, as similar as only a mirror image can be. In a typical US suburb, two small houses overlook the same street: the buildings, the gardensand the doors are both identical and different.
