Models of Time Travel
MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

12Th Irish Screen Studies Seminar Dublin City University, 11 May 2016
12th Irish Screen Studies Seminar Dublin City University, 11 May 2016 A Report by Loretta Goff, University College Cork Since its inauguration in 2003, the annual Irish Screen Studies Seminar has acted as a platform for researchers in the area of film and screen cultures to share their work. The seminar is specifically aimed at postgraduate and postdoctoral scholars working out of Irish universities and colleges or with Irish topics, but covers screen culture in the broadest sense, ranging from the audio to the visual, film, television and digital media to transmedia and gaming. This diversity of topic was reflected at the 12th Irish Screen Studies Seminar, which was a one-day event featuring four panels and a keynote address by Catherine Grant (Sussex). The day began with the “Screen: Migration, Policy, and Practice” panel, including papers addressing each of the panel’s subheadings, with a particular theme of transmediality running throughout them. Cormac Mc Garry (NUI Galway) addressed the topic of media migration with his paper titled “Comic Books in the Digital Age: The Great Screen Migration?”, where he explained transmedia approaches to comics in association with the horizontal integration of media conglomerates. The “big two” comics producers, Marvel and DC, are subsidiaries of Disney and Time Warner respectively, who have slated comic film release dates as far in advance as 2020, and who simultaneously produce games, TV shows and even motion and Guided View comics across their various subsidiaries to reinforce viewer commitments across channels. Maria O’Brien (Dublin City University) then shed some light on tax incentive policies (or lack thereof) for video game production, as compared to film, in her paper “Video Games in the 2013 Cinema Communication Negotiations: A Political Economic Perspective”.

Automatic Movie Analysis and Summarisation Philip John Gorinski I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract Automatic movie analysis is the task of employing Machine Learning methods to the field of screenplays, movie scripts, and motion pictures to facilitate or enable vari- ous tasks throughout the entirety of a movie’s life-cycle. From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

March 28, 2001 (III:10) Notable Recent Job Has Been Playing Tony Soprano’S Psychiatrist’S Psychiatrist
PETER BOGDANOVICH (30 July 1939, Kingston, New York, USA ) most March 28, 2001 (III:10) notable recent job has been playing Tony Soprano’s psychiatrist’s psychiatrist. “Many French cineasts and film critics went on to become major filmmakers, but in America only one such scholar made that transition: Peter Bogdanovich. This lifelong film buff wrote dozens of articles, books, and program notes about Hollywood before settling there in the mid 1960s. He fell in with producer Roger Corman, becoming a jack-of-all-trades on The Wild Angels (1966) and reworking a Russian sci-fi epic into Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1967). Bogd anov ich's first real film was the suspenseful Targets (1968), which he directed, produced, and cowrote with then-wife Polly Platt. After making a documentary, Directed by John Ford (1971), he directed the melancholy Larry McMurtry story The Last Picture Show (1971), which becam e a major critical and commercial hit…. “Celebrated as Hollywood's latest wunderkind, he made two more big hits: the screwball farce What's U p, Doc? (1972) and another period piece, Paper Moon (1973), which brought an Oscar to debuting Tatum O'Neal. Both films were very much dependent on references to earlier films and directors, but there was no denying his superb craftsmanship and assu red handling of actors. Bu t it was perceived that his relationship with Cybill Shepherd led to his undoing. Two Shepherd vehicles-Daisy Miller (1974) and At Long Last Love (1975)-were major stiffs, and the well-intentioned Nickelodeon (1976) was pronounced D.O.A.
