A laugh-out-loud rhyming adventure about the value of friendship and helping others, from the bestselling creators of The Great Hamster Getaway
This accessible yet research-based text offers both foundational
theories and practical applications of analysis and criticism of
mass media portrayals of sex, love, and romance in a wide variety
of mass media, from entertainment to advertising to news. The
multidisciplinary methodological perspective comes out of a media
literacy approach and embraces a variety of traditions along the
quantitative-qualitative continuum. Focused on portrayals of
male-female coupleship, the book is centered around the 12 major
myths and stereotypes of Galician's Dr. FUN!'s Mass Media Love Quiz
(c), each of which has a corresponding Dr. Galician Prescription
(R) that encapsulates healthy strategies--rarely found in the mass
media--to counteract that myth or stereotype. Readers learn how to
identify, illustrate, deconstruct, evaluate, and reframe the mass
media's mythic and stereotypic portrayals of sex, love, and
romance. They also learn how to use their own formal critical
evaluations to clarify their own values and--as media consumers or
mass communication creators--to share their insights with others.
Thus, the learning objectives encompass all three major educational
domains: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. Part I of this book
covers the five foundations: *myths and stereotypes of love and
coupleship; *models of realistic and constructive love and
coupleship; *mass media storytelling approaches, techniques, and
devices; *research and theories of mass media effects; and
*strategies and skills of media literacy. Part II is devoted to
exploring the myths and stereotypes identified in the Quiz.
Following several brief case studies and a summary of related
research and commentary, each chapter focuses on analyses and
criticisms of portrayals of sex, love, and romance in the content
of news and advertising, as well as entertainment using Galician's
Seven-Step Dis-illusioning Directions. Each chapter concludes with
a "Dis-illusion Digest." While critical of unrealistic portrayals
and the damage they can cause unsuspecting media consumers,
Galician--a media literacy advocate--is not anti-media. Rather, her
goal is to empower consumers to use these portrayals with more
awareness of their possible consequences, to resist adopting them
as models for actual behavior, and to consciously reframe them into
more realistic, productive scenarios. This unique text is an
engaging classroom resource for media literacy, media and
relationships, and media and society coursework.

The first comprehensive overview of Chloe's collections presented
through catwalk photography, published in collaboration with Chloe
to celebrate the house's 70th anniversary in 2022. Founded by
Egyptian-born Gaby Aghion in 1952, Chloe pioneered luxury
ready-to-wear that was all about ease and femininity, offering an
elegant haute bohemian style for the modern, liberated Parisienne.
Resolutely contemporary, the house spotted and hired a young Karl
Lagerfeld as early as the 1960s: he stayed for over two decades,
achieving fame and recognition worldwide through his Chloe work,
before Stella McCartney (and her then assistant Phoebe Philo)
succeeded him straight out of fashion school. This definitive
publication opens with a concise history of the house of Chloe
before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized
chronologically. Each new era in Chloe's history opens with a brief
overview and biography of the new designer, while individual
collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their
influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated
catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive
index, concludes the book. After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves
Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood and Versace, Chloe is the
eighth in a series of high-end, cloth-bound books that offer an
unrivalled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion
houses through original catwalk photography.
Three classic films starring comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver
Hardy. In 'The Dancing Masters' (1943), Stan (Laurel) and Ollie
(Hardy) are owners of a dance school, but are evicted for
non-payment of rent. To raise money, Ollie tries an insurance scam
which involves inflicting injuries on Stan, but the inept pair soon
find themselves mixed up with local gangsters. Watch out for
appearances by long-running Marx Brothers' foil Margaret Dumont and
a youthful Robert Mitchum. In 'A-haunting We Will Go' (1942),
Laurel and Hardy unknowingly offer to help a bunch of crooks
smuggle a wanted man past the police in a coffin. Unfortunately,
the casket gets mixed up with one used by a stage musician, leading
to a comic chase. Finally, in 'The Bullfighters' (1945), Stan and
Ollie are two detectives looking for a female criminal in Mexico.
Stan gets mistaken for a famous matador and is forced to show his
prowess in the bullring.

The Kingdom (2007)
When a terrorist bomb detonates inside a Western housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an international incident is ignited. While diplomats slowly debate equations of territorialism, FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) quickly assembles an elite team and negotiates a secret five-day trip into Saudi Arabia to locate the madman behind the bombing. Upon landing in the desert kingdom, however, Fleury and his team discover Saudi authorities suspicious and unwelcoming of American interlopers into what they consider a local matter. Hamstrung by protocol, and with the clock ticking on their five days, the FBI agents find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi counterparts who want to locate the terrorist in their homeland on their own terms. Fleury's crew finds a like-minded partner in Saudi Police Captain Al-Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom), who helps them navigate royal politics and unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings of an extremist, hell bent on further destruction.
Jarhead (2006)
An adaptation of former Marine Anthony Swofford's Gulf War memoir. Young recruit Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) joins up with the US Marines (nicknamed 'Jarheads' because of their distinctive haircuts) on the eve of the 1990 Gulf War. After a brutal spell in boot camp, during which Swofford and his fellow recruits are systematically geared up for the conflict, the Marines are dispatched to the deserts of the Persian Gulf to take part in a war that sees them required to do very little in the way of fighting. Bored and frustrated in the middle of nowhere, the young soldiers resort to a macabre sense of humour as they wait for the war to happen to them.
