The McBain movie clips shown in The Simpsons are actually parodies of famous action movie scenes from films like Die Hard and Terminator 2. They are intentionally absurd and over-the-top, often featuring ridiculous levels of violence, destruction and death totally inappropriate for a family TV show.

The most renowned filmmaker of his era, Martin Scorsese vi.docxcherry686017
The most renowned filmmaker of his era, Martin Scorsese virtually defined the state of modern American cinema during the nineteen seventies and eighties. A consummate storyteller and visual stylist who lived and breathed movies, he won fame translating his passion and energy into a brand of filmmaking that crackled with kinetic excitement. Working well outside of the mainstream, Scorsese nevertheless emerged in the seventies as a towering figure throughout the industry, achieving the kind of fame and universal recognition typically reserved for more commercially successful talents. A tireless supporter of film preservation, "Scorsese has worked to bridge the gap between cinema's history and future like no other director." (Rottentomatoes.com) Channeling the lessons of his inspirations primarily classic Hollywood, the French New Wave, and the New York underground movement of the early nineteen sixties into an extraordinarily personal and singular vision, he has remained perennially positioned at the vanguard of the medium, always pushing the envelope of the film experience with an intensity and courage unmatched by any of his contemporaries.
The films of his I am most interested in are: Hugo, The Departed, Raging Bull and Goodfellas. Besides the charming tale of Hugo, all of these films have something in common, extreme violence. Scorsese seems to have worked largely in the medium of violence for most of his career. However, unlike a blockbuster director such as Michael Bay, he doesn't use violence to draw crowds in with explosions. Scorsese uses violence to portray cultural feelings and to show the hardships of many of the characters in his movies. He uses themes such as Roman Catholic guilt, machismo and gang violence. I believe what drives Scorsese and his films is the want to show how violence exists. He wants to show the emotions and complicated scenarios in which violence arises.
Scorsese career breaks down into three successive phases. Scorsese leapt on to the Hollywood scene in 1973 with the film mean streets, a gritty crime drama. It was hailed with critical appeal, but little commercial success. Unfortunately, this period is also associated with his addiction to cocaine in the late 70's. "I was always angry, throwing glasses, provoking people, really unpleasant to be around," he recalls. "I always found, no matter what anybody said, something to take offense at." (Sotinel, 70) His films during the time reflected that, with the violent Taxi Driver (1976) and Raging Bull (1980) earning him more critical acclaim despite protest from moviegoers about the violent nature of the films.
Scorsese then transitioned into a middle period of his career. Scorsese's next project was his fifth collaboration with Robert De Niro, The King of Comedy (1983). A satire on the world of media and celebrity, it was an obvious departure from the more emotionally committed films he had become associated with. (Rotten Tomatoes) Scorsese during this per ...

Beyond the Advance Presentation for By the Book 9John Rodzvilla
In June 2020, L.L. McKinney, a Black author of young adult novels, began the #publishingpaidme hashtag to create a discussion on how the publishing industry treats Black authors: “what they’re paid. What the marketing is. How the books are treated. How one Black book not reaching its parameters casts a shadow on all Black books and all Black authors, and that’s not the same for our white counterparts.” (Grady 2020) McKinney’s call resulted in an online discussion across 65,000 tweets between authors of all races and the creation of a Google spreadsheet that collected information on over 2,000 titles.
While the conversation was originally meant to discuss the ethical value of book publishing, it became an economic assessment by authors of how publishers treated authors of color and women authors without a full analysis of the data collected. This paper would present the data collected from relevant tweets and the Google database to show not only the range of advances among participating authors split out by their race, gender, sexual orientation and the genre of their work, but also the publishers’ treatment of their titles in terms of deal announcements and pre-pub attention in industry publications. The paper is based on a multi-year project of cleaning and evaluating the collected data to assess what it reveals about the habits and strategies of American publishers in acquiring and promoting titles from a diverse group of authors across the literary, non-fiction, children’s, mystery, romance, and SFF genres.

5. Question 1.
The Church of All Worlds was established by the main character in Robert Heinlein's
Stranger in a Strange Land. In 1968 a group of believers created an organization by
the same name which reflected similar ideas. According to their official website :
"While CAW [Church of All Worlds] members express a broad spectrum of personal
magic's and beliefs, what brings us together is a shared set of values: immanent
divinity (expressed as "Thou art God/dess"); self-knowledge and personal
responsibility; deep friendship and tribal intimacy; positive sexuality; living in
harmony with the natural world; and appreciation of the diverse nature of human
beings.“
Similarly IDIC ( Short for Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination ) reflects the
philosophical outlook of the ________ . In short, it means “to each his own.” In
includes the understanding that variety is good, and that we progress to new and
better understandings by encountering new ideas.
If The church of all Worlds is based on the main character in Stranger in a Strange
Land , give me what this religion (IDIC )is based on and the movie connect . ( 3
keywords will do ).
8. Question 2.
Boardwalk Empire is an American period crime drama television series created
by Terence Winter. Airing on premium cable channel HBO, the series is set
in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition era and stars Steve
Buscemi as Nucky Thompson . The TV's pilot episode was one of the most
expensive in history ("the most" according to some reports) and was produced
at a cost of $18 million.
The pilot of the series was directed by one of the greatest directors of all time .
He is a recipient of an Academy Award, a Palme d’Or, Cannes Film Festival
Best Director Award, Silver Lion, Grammy Award, Emmys, Golden
Globes, BAFTAs, and DGA Awards and has been active in the industry for more
than 50 years ( he started his career in 1963) .
Who directed the pilot ?
11. Question 3.
X described his childhood as lonely and sheltered, partly due to his physical
appearance . He remarked that his mother would force him to stand at the
foot of her bed for several hours as punishment (a scene alluded in one of his
iconic film ). This idea of being harshly treated or wrongfully accused would
later be reflected in X's films.
He once said that his father wanted to punish him for a wrongdoing . So he
sent him to the local police station with a note asking the officer to lock him
away for 10 minutes as punishment for behaving badly . X was traumatized by
the 10 minute period when he was locked up , so the characters in his movies
were generally paranoid and fearful of authority (especially police ).
Identify X.
14. Question 4.
In 1926, the brothers Bob, Bill and Barnaby Ollerton formed the X . Their
first entity was produced in large quantities and was an instant hit.
Three years later, in 1929, Randolph Keitch and Basil Horton formed
the Y and released their entities with a new braking system . For several
years, the X-Y rivalry dominated the field , until the creation of
the Z in 1967 by Devlin White . Z combined reliability and easy
handling, and became a favorite for users all over the world. Z is the
Latin word for cloud.
Identify X , Y and Z .
16. X = Cleansweep Broom Company

Z = Nimbus Racing Broom Company
17. Question 5.
After receiving his honorary doctorate in fine arts, TV satirist Stephen
Colbert placed several pictures of other famous TV doctors who inspired him
on the mantle-piece of his show's set ( The Colbert Report ). One of these is
of Y as X . The others are Bill Cosby as Dr. Cliff Huxtable and Noah Drake from
General Hospital. As a response, the creators of X placed a picture of Colbert
on the desk of X in the show's 5th season, that can be seen from time to time.
Due to both Y's show winning an Emmy over Colbert's, and because Y
received an OBE (Order of the British Empire ) while Colbert did not, Colbert
named X to his enemies list.
X’s most famous line _________ was in fact used by another doctor about a
year and a half before the pilot episode, in another medical show, the sitcom
Scrubs (2001).
Give X and fill in the blank .
20. Question 6.

Suspect Number 1 in a homicide investigation of the 16 year old witness.
Fortunately, he had an airtight alibi: He and his 6-year-old daughter had been
at a Dodgers game at the time of the murder. He even had the ticket stubs to
prove it .However ,unfortunately , It turned out the ticket stubs weren't
compelling-enough evidence, no footage of him and his daughter could be
found, and the police refused to allow him to take that lie detector test .
However in the luckiest turn of events a video evidence of his alibi turned up
and he was released .
So what was this new piece of evidence ?
26. On the day of the murder, HBO was also at the Dodgers game filming scenes
for the show Curb Your Enthusiasm. The episode in question revolved around
Larry David hiring a prostitute so he could drive in the carpool lane on the way
to the game.
After hours of scouring the HBO footage, Catalan's lawyers found a shot of him
and his daughter eating hot dogs and presumably not murdering anyone in
the stands behind Larry David.

36. Question 10.
X is a extremely graphic, cult classic film . It is the inspirational precursor of the
faux-documentary "found-footage" smash hit The Blair Witch Project
(1999) and indeed the first found footage movie to be ever made. It was filled
with violent, grisly, and disturbing images with unbelievable scenes of graphic
violence (including castration and breast impalement). It was also banned
and controversial for its extreme violence. The film's most notorious scene
included the discovery of the impalement of the young woman on a pole.
The movie was so convincing that for their work on the film, the director and
the producer were arrested by authorities on suspicion of murder charges and
faced life in prison, following its 1980 Milan premiere. They endured a trial when
Italian authorities were unconvinced that the footage was indeed staged. The
director lost the original trial, and all prints were to be destroyed, but he
managed to have the ruling overturned in the early '80s when the actors finally
appeared on TV to prove otherwise. Some five years passed before the film
saw release in director's home country. This movie was banned for twenty
years in certain countries, including the UK.
Just name the movie

a "Sunday Morning" interview (2005) , X reveled what network executives had
to say about those viewers' concerns. According to them the viewers will not
accept in their homes a character who looks devilish with such a trait . So
either they should get rid of the trait, or get rid of the character.

The filmmakers had requested that M&M's be used to lure X,

this, more and more companies began requesting that their

88. Question 17.
X’s death in 2009 brought untouched topics of extreme sexual practices into a grisly
spotlight. While in Bangkok shooting a film, the 72-year-old star was found dead,
hanging from a rope in the closet of his hotel room.
Footage from hotel security cameras showed that X was alone in his room, but
despite his wife's assertions to the contrary, media and law enforcement originally
speculated that X had committed suicide. However, further information revealed
that the rope around X's neck was also connected to his genitals, suggesting that his
death was the result of autoerotic asphyxiation, or the practice of constricting air
supply in order to enhance a sexual experience.
X's ex-wife Marina Anderson confirmed publicly that he had indeed engaged in
"deviant" and "potentially deadly" sexual behavior, supporting the autoerotic
asphyxiation hypothesis .
X has appeared in more than 100 feature films and was nominated four times for a
Golden Globe Award. The last nomination was for his title role in 2004 thriller ,for
playing his most popular role (whose name has become synonymous with him) .
Identify X or identify the role he played .
91. Question 18.
X has played a self-deprecating neurotic many times in his award-winning
films. However, X's real life erupted into a controversy more dramatic than any
movie script , when it was discovered that X was having an affair with his then-
girlfriend's adopted daughter , who was 35 years his junior.
X was romantically linked to actress _____ in the early 1980s. She had a number
of adopted children, among them a young daughter named Soon-Yi Previn .
Although they were not legally married , X was a stepfather figure to such an
extent that he fought legally for the custody of kids when the couple
separated in 1992 .
In 1991, she discovered nude photos of the then-21-year-old Previn in X's
home. Predictably, scandal erupted upon this revelation and X’s reputation
was seriously damaged. However their relationship has been remarkably
successful. X and Previn married in 1997 at age 62 and 27, respectively and as
of today, the couple is still together.
Identify X.
94. Question 19.
X is the common name of AL 288-1, several hundred pieces of bone
representing about 40% of the skeleton of a Australopithecus afarensis . It was
discovered in 1974 at Hadar in the Awash Valley of the Afar Triangle in
Ethiopia. In paleoanthropology, usually only fossil fragments are found and
only rarely are skulls or ribs uncovered intact; thus this discovery was
extraordinary and provided an enormous amount of scientific evidence. X is
estimated to have lived 3.2 million years ago, and is classified as a hominin.
X is also name of the protagonist in a Sci-fi movie with met with much negative
review from critics but was eventually a success at the box office making more
than 11 times the budget of the movie .
Give X.

science fiction which made over $250 million in the box office.

Catoptrophobia can be defined as fear of X .
The fear may be the product of a traumatic
event or experience involving Xs in the past,
often during early childhood. Or it can possibly
be a result of a person’s superstition of being
watched by someone else .
X are a constant presence in horror movies,
with the X scare as one of the most commonly
abused clichés , but few films are actually
about evil Xs . One such film is this 2013
American psychological-supernatural horror
film directed by Mike Flanagan , whose poster
is also depicted .

103. Question 22.
American Graffiti is a 1973 coming of age drama that was nominated for an
Academy Award for best motion picture. Made on a meager budget of $1.27
million, the movie was a commercial and critical . However during the sound
editing , when sound editor Walter Murch asked for dialog track two in a
particular reel . ________ , who was in the room and had dozed off while
working on the script another movie , momentarily woke when he heard the
request and, after asking for clarification, stated that it was a "great name"
before falling immediately back to sleep.

106. Question 23.
The making of X had consequences which overshadowed the film itself. During
the filming of a segment directed by John Landis on July 23, 1982, actor Vic
Morrow and child actors Myca Dinh Le (age 7) and Renee Shin-Yi Chen (age
6) died in an accident involving a helicopter being used on the set. The
helicopter was flying at an altitude of only 25 feet (8 meters), too low to avoid
the explosions of the pyrotechnics used on set. When the blasts severed the
tail rotor, it spun out of control and crashed, decapitating Morrow and Le with
its blades. Chen was crushed to death as the helicopter crashed. Everyone
inside the helicopter survived sustaining minor injuries.
The accident led to legal action against the filmmakers which lasted nearly a
decade, and changed the regulations involving children working on movie
sets at night and during special effects-heavy scenes. Hollywood also avoided
helicopter-related stunts for many years .The incident ended the friendship
between director Landis and producer Spielberg, who was already angered
before the accident that Landis had violated many codes, including using live
ammunition on the set.
X was a movie version of a cult classic TV show . Just give X .
109. Question 24.
Sydney's Hellfire Club, run by Master Tom and his partner Ultra, prides itself on
being the public face of fetish in Australia. Referred to as the "McDonald's of
kink" – a moniker the club has embraced – Hellfire hosts monthly events at Q-
Bar on Oxford Street that are open to anyone from beginners to connoisseurs,
where participants can have hands-on time with different bondage and BDSM
toys.
“Hellfire has helped grow the scene locally over the last 19 years more than
any other event,” says Tom, who's noted a recent rise in newcomers. "Most
people in the Sydney fetish scene started at Hellfire. Many patrons met their
partners here, and some bring their kids to the club after they turn 18.“
This particular club was used for the shooting of a1990’s movie . Since the
movie was already running over the budget , a real club was used in a scene
where the male protagonists meets the female protagonist . All of the extras in
the scene were real hellfire club members .Their weird costume and attires
blended perfectly with the scene ,thus saving the producers a lot of costume
and set design money .

140. Question 28.
Despite its box office failure, Warner Brothers shipped 320,000 rental copies of X
to US video stores, a figure a spokesman freely admitted was “out of whack”
with the film’s performance in the theaters. A Warner Exec who loved the film
ignored the math and gave the order . His gamble paid off,as the movie X
would prove to be the most rented film of the year.
After the film gained popularity, Ted Turner sold the television rights to TNT, his
own network, for much lower than normal for such a big film. Because it is so
inexpensive to show, the film is broadcast on TNT all the time.
These are probably the two reason behind the popularity of X.

184. Question 33.
While considering ideas for an appropriate archenemy for the protagonist of
the comic , the writer (who was also the artist) saw a hot fudge
sundae melting and noticed it resembled a human figure. Inspired, he at first
considered calling his new villain "Hot Fudge". However, as the cherry on top of
the sundae seemed like an exposed ______ , he finally decided on X as a more
appropriate moniker.
Give X.
187. Question 34.
X is one of the few fictional character who have actually made impact on the
market .Y is a closely associated product with X . X was so popular Y sales went
up 33% in the great depression era .
In Crystal City, Texas , where Y was produced for commercial purposes ,
people were very appreciative of the impact he had on their industry that
they erected a statue of X in recognition of the his positive effects on the
industry.
In Alma, Arkansas (which claims to be “The Y Capital of the World,”) there is
another statue of X.
The Allen ______ company bought the rights for Xs commercial endorsement
and sells a X -branded Y even today.
Give X and Y
190. Question 35.
Schindler's List is a 1993 American period drama, directed by Steven Spielberg
. The shooting of the film was very emotional for Spielberg due to his roots and
the antisemitism he faced as a child. There were some scenes in the film that,
heavily based in reality, were so dark that he couldn’t watch while they were
filmed. So dreary were things that X took to calling Spielberg every two weeks
to lift his spirits with various jokes, mainly because there wasn’t much humor on
the set. Spielberg also would watch episodes of Y -- probably not imagining
that there would be an episode of Y where the protagonist causes outrage by
making out with his new girlfriend in a theatre throughout a screening of
"Schindler's List.“
Give X and Y.
193. Question 36.
In film industry , to "overcrank" means that the frame rate at which the film is
being shot is higher than normal, so that when played back at a normal speed
the action is in slow motion. Normal frame rate is 24 frames per second, so if
you over cranked to 120 frames per second the action would be shown at 1/5
its actual speed. Its called that because early cameras were cranked by hand
instead of turned by motor. However not all cameras can accomplish this, and
director ________ did not have the money to buy such cameras . So to
accomplish the effect he just shot the scene with a normal camera and
repeated all the frames twice thus getting the slo-mo . The scene did not have
a silky smooth gliding feel of other slow motion shots but the result was
something “scrappy and cool” . The scene being talked about is one of the
most iconic sslow motion sequences of all time .
Identify .
196. Question 37.
In 2014 , the manga X took the no.1 spot from the extremely popular manga
series One Piece . It sold over 8.3 million copies while One Piece sold 4.9 million
. It’s the first manga in 5 years to claim the top spot from one piece showing
how insanely popular the series has become . It is largely due the popularity of
the anime based on the manga and some other factors . Two new live action
films based on the series have been announced . One of them is set to be
released in 2015 .Two of the protagonists of the manga are based on the
Watchmen characters Rorschach and Ozymandias .

and writer . Although Thomas was appreciated as a popular poet in his
lifetime, he found earning a living as a writer difficult, which resulted in his

recordings for the BBC during the late 1940s brought him to the public's
attention and he was used by the Corporation as a populist voice of the
literary scene.

204. Question 39.
X is a device used in fiction, particularly in comics and animation, to explain
why characters age little or not at all over a period of time — despite real-
world markers like notable events, people and technology appearing in the
works and correlating with the real world. This is seen most clearly in the case
of comic book characters who debuted as teens in the 1940s or the 1960s but
who are still relatively young in current comics . Events from the characters'
pasts are alluded to, but they are changed from having taken place years
ago to having taken place more recently. Popular examples in TV shows
include Family Guy , The Simpsons , etc.

211. Question 37.
The idea for the series began in 2003 when Lloyd Braun, then the Chairman of
____, during a meeting of the network's executives pitched the show as a cross
between the 2000 drama movie starring Tom Hanks and a popular reality TV
Show Y which the first highly rated and profitable reality show on broadcast
television in the U.S and was renewed for its 30th season in 2015. X was one of
dozens of ideas to emerge from the meeting that got circulated to Hollywood
agencies and producers to see if any attracted any interest. A few weeks
later, veteran producer Aaron Spelling said he wanted to do X and ABC
ordered a pilot script. When the script arrived in December, Braun hated it. A
rewrite in January was even worse. Braun then contacted J.J. Abrams (co-
creator, executive producer, writer, theme music composer, director for the
series) . Although initially hesitant, Abrams gave it a go. Their script was
greenlit, but because it had been commissioned so late , X was under very
tight deadlines. Ironically, before the pilot aired Lloyd Braun was sacked by
____’s parent company, Disney - for greenlighting such an expensive and risky
project . The pilot for X cost more than $10 million making it one of the most
expensive pilot episode of all time . However the gamble paid off when
approximately 20 million people watched the pilot . TV Guide ranked the
episode fifth on a list of the top 100 television episodes of all time .

237. Question 47.
Between 1967 and 1972 there were 147 attempted skyjacks in the U.S. One of
those skyjacks was “pulled off” by X . X paid $20 for a one-way flight from
Portland to Seattle aboard Northwest Orient Flight 305 on Thanksgiving Eve in
1971. Once in flight, he handed the flight attendant a note that read, "I have a
bomb in my briefcase. I will use it if necessary. I want you to sit next to me. You
are being hijacked." When the plane landed his demands for $200,000 and
four parachutes were met, the passengers were released and the plane took
off again.
It’s believed that at around 8:11 pm , X jumped into a storm from the plane .
Despite an extensive manhunt and an ongoing FBI investigation, the
perpetrator has never been located or positively identified.
238. While X endangered the lives of 42 people and caused
immeasurable inconvenience for many others, his bold,
adventurous, unprecedented crime inspired a cult following,
expressed through song, film and literature . He is remembered in
Ariel, Washington, with a "Cooper Day" event held annually on
the weekend after Thanksgiving weekend, and elsewhere with
Cooper-themed promotions held by restaurants and bowling
alleys. Cooper has also been used in the storylines of such
popular TV series as White Collar, NewsRadio, and Numb3rs, as
well as a book titled The Vesuvius Prophecy, based on The 4400
TV series.
In Prison Break X is portrayed by Muse Watson . The backstories
regarding X have been kept nearly the same (He stole 5 million
rather than 200 K ) and the money stolen by him becomes an
important plot device for some seasons .
