Santa Clarita enjoys record year for film and TV production By Richard Verrier July 12, 2013, 11:35 a.m. Santa Clarita's film business reached a record level in the last fiscal year, fueled by such television shows as "Justified" and "Franklin and Bash." The suburban northern Los Angeles County city generated 1,069 film days in the year ended June 30, an 18% increase compared to last year's level, which was also a record, the city said. Film and TV productions spent an estimated $25.7 million in the Santa Clarita area during the fiscal year, up 22% from the prior year. "Santa Clarita is one of Hollywood’s first choices for location filming, as shown by yet another strong year for location filming,” Mayor Bob Kellar said in a statement. “Filming is a big part of our business community and local economy, supporting high-paying jobs and hundreds of companies involved in the industry.” In March 2012, the City Council approved a three-year extension of the city’s Film Incentive Program, which refunds permit fees to locally-based productions, those that film on location four or more times in a year, as well as those that qualified for the state of California’s film and television tax credit program. Santa Clarita locations have doubled for many cities around the world, including New York, Washington and Paris. The city recently took steps to annex two movie ranches into its jurisdiction, Sable and Rancho Deluxe. Nearly half of location filming can be attributed to television shows shooting in the community. Several television shows are based in Santa Clarita, including “NCIS,” “Switched at Birth,” “Chasing Life,” “Franklin and Bash” and “Justified,” and the ABC game show "Wipeout." The CBS show "Vegas" filmed at Santa Clarita Studios last year but didn't get renewed for a second season. The city also picked up several days of filming from some big features, including "The Hangover Part III," "Iron Man 3" and "2 Guns." http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-santa-clarita-film-20130712,0,4873609.story .

The Hangover Part III Movie Review (2013) | Roger Ebert
In Memoriam 1942 – 2013 | ★ ★ ★ ★ ROGEREBERT.COM Choose a Section REVIEWS THE HANGOVER PART III ★ ☇ | Odie Henderson May 23, 2013 | ☄ 16 “The Hangover Part III” has a high body count for a "comedy", and not all the victims are human. Among the dead, I counted four Print Page people, two dogs, a giraffe and a flock of crazed, cannibalistic, cocaine-addicted cocks. Detailing the human casualties may count as a spoiler, so I’ll focus on the critters: The roosters are blown away, tossed out of windows, and smothered with a pillow. The dogs Like 312 are poisoned with Demerol. Because you’ve seen the trailers and the commercials, you already know what happens to the poor 31 giraffe owned by Alan (Zach Galifianakis), one of the franchise's recurring characters. What you may not know is that none of this Tweet 35 violence is funny, not even when Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) comments on the animal cruelty by asking Stu (Ed Helms), “What? You’re PETA now?” “The Hangover Part III” is the second unnecessary sequel to 2009's "The Hangover." It was preceded by the reprehensible “The Hangover Part II,” which catered to its scared, straight white male audience’s baser instincts and made even more money than the original. This one opens with two holes, one in a prison wall and the other in the windshield of a moving car. The first hole is made by Leslie Chow, who must have seen “The Shawshank Redemption.” The second is made by the giraffe, causing a massive freeway accident. Both affect the Wolfpack, the group consisting of Alan, Stu, Alan’s brother-in-law, Doug (Justin Bartha) and group leader Phil (Bradley Cooper).

1 Forever Alone in a Crowd, Arthur Fleck Seeks Connection. Yet, As He
Forever alone in a crowd, Arthur Fleck seeks connection. Yet, as he trods the sooted Gotham City streets and rides the graffitied mass transit rails of a hostile town teeming with division and dissatisfaction, Arthur wears two masks. One, he paints on for his day job as a clown. The other he can never remove; it’s the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel he’s a part of the world around him, and not the misunderstood man whom life is repeatedly beating down. Fatherless, Arthur has a fragile mother, arguably his best friend, who nicknamed him Happy, a moniker that’s fostered in Arthur a smile that hides the heartache beneath. But, when bullied by teens on the streets, taunted by suits on the subway, or simply teased by his fellow clowns at work, this social outlier only becomes even more out of sync with everyone around him. Directed, co-written and produced by Todd Phillips, “Joker” is the filmmaker’s original vision of the infamous DC villain, an origin story infused with, but distinctly outside, the character’s more traditional mythologies. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. Longing for any light to shine on him, he tries his hand as a stand-up comic, but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty and, ultimately, betrayal, Arthur makes one bad decision after another that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty, allegorical character study.

CHAPTER II REVIEW of RELATED THEORIES in This Chapter, The
CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED THEORIES In this chapter, the researcher discussed about sociolinguistics, slang, types of slang, the function of slang, American slang, The Hangover Part III, synopsis and previous studies. The clear descriptions were written below: A. Sociolinguistics Sociolinguistics related to language and its relation to society. Slang is a phenomenon that can be studied from a sociolinguistic perspective because slang is part of the use of language. Slang is kind of speech variety or language variety which refers to the form of speech used by speakers or a group of speakers (Fan & Zhou, 2013). In sociolinguistics, the kind of group that have generally attempted to study is called the speech community. A speech community is a group of speakers who use the same language or dialect of the language as standard (Leonard Bloomfield, 1933 as cited in Morgan, 2014). Language has a lot of varieties. Languages vary from one place to another and from one situation to another situation. Language variation due to social and language functions diversity (Surya: 2016).
