INTRODUCTION "If in past summers Hollywood seemed to surrender its creative soul to the making of sequels, prequels, spinoffs, remakes and franchise films based on comic books, television series or video games, take a deep breath and prepare for the summer of 2002."1 With these words, the New York Times' Rick Lyman dubbed this past summer "the summer of the spinoff."2 Although it is most apparent in the movie theater, mass media art of all types in the United States is becoming increasingly derivative.

  • Hip-Hop Video Turned
    CLICK 3X BRINGS DR. OCTAGON’S ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGE TO LIFE First ever hip hop video/PSA on global warming debuts as part of MTV’s Break the Addiction campaign New York, October 30, 2006—The creative team at Click 3X and director Georgie Greville recently completed their fourth collaborative project, this time a three-minute public service announcement that also happens to be a music video for Dr. Octagon, featuring the former Ultramagnetic MC, Kool Keith. Dr. Octagon’s up-tempo electro track, “Trees,” produced by One Watt Sun, is about to bring social responsibility to the forefront of popular culture. Hip hop may not be the first genre of music you think of when looking to start a discourse on environmental issues but the Bronx-raised lyricist is hopeful that will soon change. The video/PSA was produced by MTV in support of their think MTV/Break the Addiction initiative and will premiere this Wednesday, November 1, on MTV’s TRL (Total Request Live) as well as being immediately available at think.mtv.com. MTV, long a supporter of a variety of environmental causes, produced the piece in cooperation with OCD International as a public service announcement in an effort to inform and engage viewers. This latest initiative depicts a cautionary tale about deforestation and the destruction of our environment caused by global warming. The video features a number of young actors including the talented J.J. Singleton who plays Kool Keith himself. The innocence symbolized by the children in the video is countered by a dark and barren industrial landscape devoid of living plants.

As you view each film, consider the following questions: N Do the characters in the movies you are watching exhibit any traits of a specific psychiatric disorder? N What societal or cultural attitudes are reflected in the depiction of mental illness, its treatment, and the role of the nurse? N What ethical questions have arisen in the movies you are watching?

  • Did Voting Felons Give Democrats the Senate?
    Did voting felons give Democrats the Senate? excerpted from the August 2010 edition of Christian Crusade Newspaper now in our 58th year of publication ~ www.ChristianCrusade.com Billy James Hargis II, publisher ~ Keith Wilkerson, managing editor Was Minnesota’s junior U.S. Senator Al Franken elected by felons who voted illegally? That’s the contention of a conservative watchdog group that compared convict records with polling place sign-in sheets. It took six months and multiple appeals before the Minnesota State Supreme Court to turn the Saturday Night Live comedian from New York into a U.S. senator from Minnesota. However, his election was vital to the political agenda of Barack Obama since it gave the Democrats the 60 Senators needed to break any Republican filibuster. After all appeals protesting his questionable election were exhausted in a six-month battle, he finally was seated on July 7, 2009, prompting the Wall Street Journal to proclaim that “Franken now goes to the Senate having effectively stolen an election.” The final official count showed Franken beat his Republican opponent, Norman Coleman, by 312 votes. In the initial vote, Coleman had won by more than 700 votes. Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race. Volunteers matched publicly available lists of convicts with voting records. Over 18 months, the group matched conviction lists with poll rosters, where voters sign in before going into the voting booth, and matched them by hand. Their findings have been ignored by both the Democrat-controlled U.S.
