  • TARANTULA EPISODE 1.Fdx
    SEESAW/MUSHROOM "TARANTULA" EPISODE 1 Written by Carson Mell EXT. TARANTULA - DAY The beautiful, decrepit Tierra Chula Resident Hotel. Early morning light. Echo exits, scratching ribs and sipping coffee, and walks right up to FRANK, a homeless guy sitting on the corner with a “Will Work For Food” sign. ECHO So, uh, that sign. You serious about that or just looking to shake loose a few crumbs from the upper crust? FRANK I’m serious. ECHO You mind if I see you erect. You know, upright. Standing up. The guy stands. He’s remarkably tall and slim, especially beside five-foot-six Echo. Echo whistles through his teeth. ECHO (CONT’D) Yep. That’ll do. EXT. TARANTULA/BACK PATIO - DAY Echo sits on Frank’s shoulders, is deep in the big avocado tree. He plucks an avocado and smells it deeply. ECHO Oh, yeah, that is the bouquet we are looking for. Echo places the avocado in his plastic grocery sack, reaches for another, and accidentally digs a knee into Frank’s side. FRANK Ah God damn! ECHO Sorry man, I know this ain’t exactly comfortable, but we gotta keep it down or my landlord is going to pop out of that window right there and shoot us with a pellet gun. Echo points up high to the window of a penthouse. 2. ECHO (CONT’D) Sir Dominic considers these avocados his sole property. Dude would charge us for each breath we took if he could. Frank looks up at the window. There’s a woman with graying hair sitting in a recliner, hooked up to oxygen.

  • Media Industry Approaches to Comic-To-Live-Action Adaptations and Race
    From Serials to Blockbusters: Media Industry Approaches to Comic-to-Live-Action Adaptations and Race by Kathryn M. Frank A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Lisa A. Nakamura Associate Professor Aswin Punathambekar © Kathryn M. Frank 2015 “I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.” ― Edward W. Said, Palestine For Mom and Dad, who taught me to be my own hero ii Acknowledgements There are so many people without whom this project would never have been possible. First and foremost, my parents, Paul and MaryAnn Frank, who never blinked when I told them I wanted to move half way across the country to read comic books for a living. Their unending support has taken many forms, from late-night pep talks and airport pick-ups to rides to Comic-Con at 3 am and listening to a comics nerd blather on for hours about why Man of Steel was so terrible. I could never hope to repay the patience, love, and trust they have given me throughout the years, but hopefully fewer midnight conversations about my dissertation will be a good start. Amanda Lotz has shown unwavering interest and support for me and for my work since before we were formally advisor and advisee, and her insight, feedback, and attention to detail kept me invested in my own work, even in times when my resolve to continue writing was flagging.

  • September 4-6 Riverfront Park & City Island
    SEPTEMBER 4-6 RIVERFRONT PARK & CITY ISLAND HARRISBURGPA.GOV/KIPONA | #KIPONAHBG WHAT IS KIPONA? This annual Labor-Day weekend celebration began in 1916 when the Harrisburg Dock Street Dam and the iconic river steps were completed. To celebrate this achievement and other improvements made since 1902 through the City Beautiful Movement, the City decided to rebrand what had been a water carnival on the river in prior years. After soliciting names through a city-wide competition, “Kipona” was chosen. An analysis of the name Kipona, which is said to mean in North American Indian terms “on sparkling water” is translated to “Na” meaning “to be on,” “Po” meaning “waters” and “Ki” meaning “sparkling or bright.

  • The Demon Haunted World
    THE DEMON- HAUNTED WORLD Science as a Candle in the Dark CARL SAGAN BALLANTINE BOOKS • NEW YORK Preface MY TEACHERS It was a blustery fall day in 1939. In the streets outside the apartment building, fallen leaves were swirling in little whirlwinds, each with a life of its own. It was good to be inside and warm and safe, with my mother preparing dinner in the next room. In our apartment there were no older kids who picked on you for no reason. Just the week be- fore, I had been in a fight—I can't remember, after all these years, who it was with; maybe it was Snoony Agata from the third floor— and, after a wild swing, I found I had put my fist through the plate glass window of Schechter's drug store. Mr. Schechter was solicitous: "It's all right, I'm insured," he said as he put some unbelievably painful antiseptic on my wrist. My mother took me to the doctor whose office was on the ground floor of our building. With a pair of tweezers, he pulled out a fragment of glass. Using needle and thread, he sewed two stitches. "Two stitches!" my father had repeated later that night. He knew about stitches, because he was a cutter in the garment industry; his job was to use a very scary power saw to cut out patterns—backs, say, or sleeves for ladies' coats and suits—from an enormous stack of cloth. Then the patterns were conveyed to endless rows of women sitting at sewing machines.

  • ABSTRACT SHAEFFER, MATHEW TODD. with Great Power and Great
    ABSTRACT SHAEFFER, MATHEW TODD. With Great Power and Great Responsibility: The Representation of America's Social Anxieties and Historical Events in The Amazing Spider- Man, 1962-1979. (Under the direction of committee Dr. David Zonderman). This thesis examines The Amazing Spider-Man comic series as a means to explore historical events and social anxieties during the 1960s and 1970s. Recently, superheroes have reclaimed a prominent place in American culture as superhero films are surging in popularity. Using The Amazing Spider-Man, I hope to highlight how superhero comic books are a valuable source for American cultural history and warrant serious scholarly research. To conduct my research, I looked at the scholarship on superhero comics, which has expanded greatly over the last few years, and conducted a close examination of Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962), which first introduces Spider-Man, and nearly 200 issues of The Amazing Spider-Man published from 1963 until 1979. I found that The Amazing Spider-Man comic series offers insight into American society and American values during the time period. I examine how The Amazing Spider-Man advocates the responsible use of science during the new Nuclear Age while also reflecting the dangers of new and unconstrained science. I study how the main character, Peter Parker, deals with social acceptance, general social anxieties, and finding his place in the world. I look at how the hero struggles with Cold War tensions, losing loved ones, seeing friends shipped off to war, social unrest, civil rights issues, student protests, political corruption, and much more. Finally, I look at how the perception of gender changes during the 1960s and 1970s by examining the evolution of both male and female gender values portrayed in the comic and how those values evolve over time.
