Here’s why — and why we like to watch Sep. 30, 2019 at 6:00 am Updated Sep. 30, 2019 at 6:28 pm ​ Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Pacino do a lot of eating and drinking in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” (Andrew Cooper / Sony Pictures Entertainment / Columbia... More By EMILY HEIL ​ The Washington Post Nachos, popcorn, sandwiches, dumplings, peanut butter, a possibly poisoned pot roast and rat blood. These are things that Brad Pitt has ingested on screen over the course of his three-plus-decade career. They are things among many things because it seems that while Brad Pitt might not chew the scenery in his films — he’s often praised for restraint — it seems that he’s always eating. On YouTube, you can find videos showing clips of Pitt, in various roles, shoveling, tossing and otherwise cramming various foods into his mouth. There are lengthy versions, like one simply titled “15 Minutes of Brad Pitt Eating,” as well as a snappier three-minute compilation (together, these two videos have been viewed almost 1 million times). There are supercuts chronicling the food the actor eats in individual movies, including “Ocean’s Eleven” and “Moneyball.” Some viewers even saw a scene in the recent Quentin Tarantino 19 movie “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” in which Pitt’s character whips up and then devours a box of neon-hued mac and cheese, as a sly meta-style wink to Pitt’s reputation for cinematic noshing. (Tarantino’s ode to the end of Tinseltown’s golden era is littered with so many self-referential touches that such a read seems plausible.) Maybe Brad Pitt doesn’t eat any more than any other actor out there. That’s possible, says Fabio Parasecoli, a professor of food studies for New York University at Steinhardt who has studied food on film (and even wrote a dissertation on men eating in blockbuster movies). With the exception of food-focused films, such as “Chef” or “Big Night,” he notes, most eating that goes on in movies is overlooked.

  • Section 10: Outdoor Action Song Guide
    Section 10: Outdoor Action Song Guide Songs, just like games, can be a useful and fun addition to a trip. Whether used to get the group warmed up on a chilly morning or to lighten the mood on the trail, songs should be a part of your leader bag of tricks. Most of these songs represent relatively low interpersonal risk except for songs that single out individuals such as Little Sally Walker. As for any activity, use your leader radar to determine when the individual and group dynamics are appropriate for a particular song. Enjoy! 10-1 Old Nassau Tune every heart and every voice, bid every care withdraw; Let all with one accord rejoice, in praise of Old Nassau. In praise of Old Nassau we sing, Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! Our hearts will give while we shall live, three cheers for Old Nassau. 10-2 10-3 10-4 10-5 10-6 10-7 10-8 Go Bananas CHORUS (With Actions) LEADER: Bananas of the world…UNITE! Thumbs up! Elbows back!

  • The Pioneer and the Savage
    The Pioneer and The Savage a novel Jamie Thorogood Badley Project 2020 8th April 2020 Foreword For my Badley Project this year I have written a novel. I started thinking about The Pioneer and the Savage a couple of years ago, but only this year did I actually sit down and write it. It’s been an amazing experience to plan, write and bind, and something I’ll remember for a while. In this story I tried to address the issues of racism, sexism and living alongside – and respecting – nature. It follows the adventures of Piper Morning, a small-minded girl who travels to an island far away with her father. She meets a young, native boy and a friendship forms. It is 67,068 words in total. I hope you enjoy it! Here are some pictures of the binding process. Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish it (for obvious reasons), but managed to get about halfway through. I can’t wait to complete the binding when I get back to school.

  • WHIPLASH by Damien Chazelle BLACK
    WHIPLASH by Damien Chazelle BLACK... We hear a HIT. A drumstick against a drum head. Crisp, sharp. Then a second hit. Then a third and a fourth. The hits growing so fast they start to blur together. Like gunfire... 1 INT. NASSAU BAND REHEARSAL STUDIO - GEHRING HALL - NIGHT 1 A cavernous space. Sound-proofed walls. And in the center, a DRUM SET. Seated at it, in a sweat-marked white T, eyes zeroed on his single-stroke roll, is ANDREW NEIMAN. He’s 19, slight, honors-student-skinny -- except for his arms, which have been built from years and years of drumming. Suddenly -- a MAN enters the practice room. Stopping, rising-- ANDREW Sorry... I’m -- I’m sorry-- MAN It’s ok. Stay there. The MAN steps forward, removes his coat. He’s tall. Late fifties. Black T-shirt, black slacks, black shoes. We’ll know him as FLETCHER. The room is silent now. And then, softly, as he’s one of those people whose whisper can scare the crap out of you-- FLETCHER What’s your name? ANDREW Andrew Neiman, sir. (It’s pronounced “Nayman”.) FLETCHER What year are you? ANDREW I’m a first-year, sir. FLETCHER You know who I am? ANDREW Yes... FLETCHER You know what I do? Pink (9/10/2013) 2 ANDREW Yes... FLETCHER So you know I’m looking for players. ANDREW Yes... FLETCHER Then why did you stop playing? Beat. Andrew nods, smiles. He gets it. Summons up all his remaining energy and resumes playing, trying to really show off this time.

  • The Water in You
    The water in you Think of what you need to survive, really just survive. Food? Water? Air? Facebook? Naturally, I'm going to concentrate on water here. Water is of major importance to all living things; in some organisms, up to 90% of their body weight comes from water. Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%. Each day humans must consume a certain amount of water to survive. Of course, this varies according to age and gender, and also by where someone lives. Generally, an adult male needs about 3 liters per day while an adult female needs about 2.2 liters per day. Some of this water is gotten in food. Water serves a number of essential functions to keep us all going: A vital nutrient to the life of every cell, acts first as a building material. It regulates our internal body temperature by sweating and respiration The carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolized and transported by water in the bloodstream; It assists in flushing waste mainly through urination acts as a shock absorber for brain, spinal cord, and fetus forms saliva lubricates joints According to Dr. Jeffrey Utz, Neuroscience, pediatrics, Allegheny University, different people have different percentages of their bodies made up of water. Babies have the most, being born at about 78%.

Jane Clendinning has been a wonderful dissertation advisor who has provided both critical insight into my research and encouragement through the laborious process of writing the dissertation. My conversations with Michael Buchler are always enlightening, whether they are about set-class similarity or phrase structure in musicals. He is delightful person, and it has been a pleasure to have him as my supervisor for classes and the Music Living-Learning Community. Mark Richards’s insights into phrase structure and rock harmony have been a great asset in my research, and his considerations guide my approach to both topics.
