BBDO Picks the Winners!
BBDO Picks the Winners! Once a year the advertising agency of BBDO picks what they consider the breakout hits for the upcoming fall TV season. Based on their highly regarded opinion BBDO picks six probable winners (they call them swimmers) for the season: Roswell and Angel are listed as probable breakthrough hits on the WB. Joss Whedon, creator of the hit series Buffy The Vampire Slayer, combines supernatural adventure and dark humor in the next chapter of the Buffy saga, Angel. The centuries-old vampire (David Boreanaz), cursed with a conscience, has left the small town of Sunnydale and taken up residence in the City of Angels. Between pervasive evil and countless temptations lurking beneath the city’s glittery facade, Los Angeles proves to be the ideal address for a fallen vampire looking to save a few lost souls. With the help of Buffy’s Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter), and a shadowy figure known as “The Whistler” (Glenn Quinn), Angel has one last chance to save his own soul by restoring hope to those impressionable young people locked in a losing battle with their own demons. It has been called the City of Dreams, and Angel has come to fight the nightmares. WB2 Tuesday 8-9pm following Buffy The Vampire Slayer Analogy: “Interview with the Vampire meets the WB” In the summer of 1947, residents of the tiny town of Roswell, New Mexico believed they witnessed the fiery crash of an alien spacecraft. The federal government maintains it never happened. Now, on the eve of the fifty-second anniversary, the town once again comes together to celebrate the historic event some call an ill- fated visit from the stars and others call a hoax.

Elvisbrucefeaturefromstonepo
How an encounter that never happened might have helped to change history if it had By Shawn Poole Ever since he was a child, Bruce Springsteen has been strongly influenced by the artistry of Elvis Presley. Over the years, the “E Street”/”Elvis” connection has remained strong. Most recently, Springsteen participated along with E Street Band members Nils Lofgren and Patti Scialfa in the Elvis: Viva Las Vegas television special (now on DVD in the U.S., where it hit #1 on the Billboard DVD sales chart), and its accompanying soundtrack album. E Streeters Garry Tallent and Max Weinberg also were on hand at this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to induct Elvis’ original drummer and bassist, D.J. Fontana and the late Bill Black. Presley was only forty-two years old when his life tragically ended. “They found him slumped up against the drain,” Bruce Springsteen would later sing of his fallen idol, “with a whole lot of trouble running through his veins; Bye-bye, Johnny; Johnny, bye-bye; You didn’t have to die; you didn’t have to die.” While Elvis’ premature decline and death did absolutely nothing to stop his immense cultural influence, it did rob the world of many more years of music from this great artist. It also ensured that Bruce Springsteen would never get another chance to meet the man who initially inspired his own musical career. (He had two chances: one famous unofficial chance when he jumped the wall at Graceland in 1976 and one not-as-famous in 1977 when local concert promoters offered Springsteen an official chance to meet Elvis backstage before his final Philadelphia concert.) But what if Bruce had gotten to meet Elvis before August 16, 1977? Might things have turned out any differently for either or both of them, as well as the many other lives they affected? In this work of speculative fiction, Shawn Poole ponders the possibilities, poignantly reminding us of the promise and potential that tragically disappeared in that long ago summer.

Virtual Communities in the Buffyerse
Buffy, Angel, and the Creation of Virtual Communities By Mary Kirby Diaz Professor, Sociology-Anthropology Department Farmingdale State University of New York Abstract The Internet has provided a powerful medium for the creation of virtual communities. In the case of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: the Series, the community is comprised of fans whose commonality is their love of the universe created by the producers, writers, cast and crew of these two television series. This paper will explore the current status of the major ongoing communities of Buffy and Angel fans, and the support that binds them into a “real” virtual community. “The Internet, you know... The bitch goddess that I love and worship and hate. You know, we found out we have a fan base on the Internet. They came together as a family on the Internet, a huge, goddamn deal. It's so important to everything the show has been and everything the show has done – I can't say enough about it.' (http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/425/425492p10.html: IGGN. Introduction [1]This is the first of a projected series of short sociological studies dealing with the general subject of the Buffyverse fandom. Subsequent project topics include (1) canonical and non-canonical love in the Buffyverse (Bangels, Spuffies, Spangels, etc.), (2) fanfiction (writers and readers), (3) unpopular canonical decisions, (4) a review of the relevant literature on fandom, (5) the delineation of character loyalty, (6) the fancon, (7) the Buffyverse as entrepreneur, and (8) predictions about the Buffista and Angelista fandom over the next five years.

ELVIS EM HOLLYWOOD: APONTAMENTOS SOBRE O FILME MUSICAL E a CULTURA POPULAR NORTE-AMERICANA NO SÉCULO XX1 Jorge Manuel Neves Carrega2
RELICI ELVIS EM HOLLYWOOD: APONTAMENTOS SOBRE O FILME MUSICAL E A CULTURA POPULAR NORTE-AMERICANA NO SÉCULO XX1 Jorge Manuel Neves Carrega2 RESUMO Elvis Presley foi uma das últimas estrelas do filme musical de Hollywood. Entre meados da década de 1950 e finais da década de 1960, o actor e cantor norte- americano participou num conjunto de filmes musicais que, mantendo uma profunda ligação às formas tradicionais do género, introduziram igualmente um novo estilo musical e performativo. Este artigo pretende analisar os filmes musicais protagonizados por Presley como artefactos da cultura de massas que estabelecem uma clara relação com a cultura popular norte-americana. Palavras-chave: Elvis Presley; Filme musical; Rock and rol; Cultura de massas, multiculturalismo, cinema de Hollywood. ABSTRACT Elvis Presley was one of the last stars of the Hollywood musical. Between 1950 and the late 1960s, the American actor and singer participated in a set of musical films that, while maintaining a deep connection with the traditional forms of the genre, also introduced a new musical and performative style. This article intends to analyze the musical films played by Presley as artifacts of mass culture that fit a clear relationship with a popular American culture. Keywords: Elvis Presley; Musical film; Rock and roll; Mass culture, multiculturalism, Hollywood cinema. INTRODUÇÃO O impacto sociocultural do Rock and Roll nas décadas de 1950 e 1960 é largamente reconhecido por musicólogos, sociólogos e investigadores da área dos estudos culturais.

Not Your Typical Knight: the Emerging On-Screen Defender
Not Your Typical Knight: The Emerging On-Screen Defender Sean Connery epitomizes the strong, handsome, aristocratic, ath- letic, valiant, and virtuous (almost picture-perfect) medieval knight of the movies whose nobility is shown in scene after scene. This hero is the gentle yet powerful leader who protects and helps those in need and, despite the great odds against him, wins because he represents justice. Over the last two decades or so, depictions of on-screen heroic medieval knights have shifted to include a variety of alternatives. These charac- terizations range from the aristocratic, almost pristine Lancelot of Excal- ibur (1981), to the disinherited Robin, his foreign friend Azeem, and, briefly, an armored Marian of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), the mercenary Lancelot of First Knight (1995), William Thatcher, the peas- ant squire and would-be knight of A Knight's Tale (2002), an ogre, fight- ing princess, and tallung donkey in the animated tale Shrek (2001), and finally the modern medieval "knights" Buffy, Giles, Xander, and Willow of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series (1997 through 2003). These changing portrayals of knights and heroes show us on-screen defenders who rarely fit the picture of traditional medieval knights and thus challenge our definitions of what constitutes a knight or hero. The on-screen traditional medieval hero derlves from heroes of medieval literature such as King Arthur, Su Gawain, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad. The medieval heroes are set apart from their enemies by their brawny physiques, their devotions to God, king, and lady, and their fightlng abilities-which are used to promote justlce.
