Dallas Scenes of the Day
Critique: 'Dallas' Episode 75 – 'New Beginnings'
September 26, 2012 by Chris Baker 18 Comments
War and remembrance
Sometimes "Dallas" is more than entertaining – it's damn near magical. This happens when everything that goes into making the show – the writing, the acting, the music and so on – comes together in ways that are so pitch-perfect, you can't help but feel you're witnessing something special. The final scene in "New Beginnings" is one of these moments.
It begins when J.R. comes home late and finds Sue Ellen asleep in John Ross's darkened nursery, having dozed off while rocking him. She awakens and helps J.R. put the boy in his crib, and then the couple moves into their bedroom, where they reminisce about their courtship.
The exchange that follows is extraordinary. J.R. and Sue Ellen spend much of their lives at war with each other, but in this scene we finally see them take off their armor, which director Irving J. Moore symbolizes by putting Linda Gray in a bathrobe and having Larry Hagman remove his suit jacket and necktie as they deliver their dialogue.
The conversation itself, written by Arthur Bernard Lewis, paints a lovely picture of what J.R. and Sue Ellen were like when their love was new. With Richard Lewis Warren's soft piano music playing in the background, we listen to J.R. describe seeing Sue Ellen for the first time, during the Miss Texas beauty pageant, and we envision how poised she must have looked on that stage. We then hear Sue Ellen recall how "frightened" she was when J.R. brought her to Southfork to meet Jock and Miss Ellie, and we imagine a sweeter, shyer Sue Ellen walking into that big house on the arm of a younger, beaming J.R.
Lewis's dialogue is also poetic in the way it captures the unique qualities Hagman and Gray bring to their roles. Here's how Sue Ellen remembers J.R.'s eyes: "They always seemed to be hiding secrets. Things you knew about the world that no one else knew." And here's how he recalls her beauty pageant performance: "All those pretty young girls were prancing around and trying to look sexy. And then, there you were, Sue Ellen. Not trying to do anything. Just looking more sexy than any of them. And you had something else. You looked like a lady." Have better descriptions of these characters ever been written?
It's also worth considering the context in which J.R. and Sue Ellen's conversation takes place. Earlier in "New Beginnings," J.R. visits Leslie's apartment, where he vows to end his marriage so he can make Leslie his new wife. "I'm filing against Sue Ellen," he says. Do hearing the words aloud prompt the nostalgic wave that engulfs J.R. at the end of the episode?
And what is Sue Ellen's frame of mind at the end of "New Beginnings"? In the episode's first act, Clint's wife Alisha tells Sue Ellen she is willing to share her husband if that's what it takes to hold onto him. The conversation leads a guilty Sue Ellen to break up with Clint, but does Alisha's devotion also inspire Sue Ellen to give her own marriage another chance?
This is what makes the final moments of "New Beginnings" so heartbreaking. Just when it seems like J.R. and Sue Ellen are about to reignite their old spark, the phone rings. She answers and after hearing the voice on the other end, we see her face fall and her posture stiffen. "It's Kristin, calling from California," Sue Ellen announces somberly. "She just gave birth to a baby boy. You have another son."
What a punch to the gut! The words remind us that the past doesn't just hold memories for J.R. and Sue Ellen to cherish – it also holds mistakes that will haunt them forever.

Dallas Scene of the Day: 'What Happened, J.R.?' »
Hel says:
Great episode. As usual I so agree with your critique. That ending scene is one of those terribly wonderful JR and Sue Ellen scenes. It stands the test of time. 30+ years later and it still is emotional to watch.
Chris B. says:
Thanks Hel! I agree: This scene is timeless!
I can't remember if I've said this already, but I agree this episode was really good, especially for J.R. and Sue Ellen's poignant scene. It's what made me realize they really do love each other, as messed up as that is. It makes the whole thing–every other ridiculous, madcap things they do to each other–believable.
I agree! This scene should be required viewing for every "Dallas" fan. It helps put J.R. and Sue Ellen's whole relationship in context.
Garnet McGee says:
I still can't root for JR and Sue Ellen as a couple but must agree that scene was brilliant. I really was surprised the call was from Kristen. That surprise shot where we see Leslie go to the bed where her ex-husband is waiting reminded me of the last scene of Dallas TNT when we see John Ross go into the hotel room and are surprised to see Emma there. The pace of the last episodes of the season remind me of Dallas TNT's pace and style. All the stories start coming together and they move a lot faster. Some great lines too: the same reason you do anything power." The seeds of the evil Cliff are here in these episodes.
Ooh, I like the parallel you draw between Leslie and her ex-husband and John Ross and Emma. Both are nifty twists, aren't they?
kirksroom says:
Two questions which worried every Dallas fan were answered in last week's episode: Will Jock and Miss Ellie divorce? and What will Bobby's vote be, and will it tear apart the family even more? We are now left with 2 more worrisome questions as this episode begins: Will J.R. divorce Sue Ellen to marry Leslie? and Will Sue Ellen divorce J.R. to marry Clint? On tonight's episode, one of those questions was answered. It is the second one.
As with both of the questions which were answered on last week's episode, the answer is no. Everything remains the same. Nothing changes. Although we are still left wondering Will J.R. divorce Sue Ellen to marry Leslie? The answer will probably be "No," we think, but then we see a scene in the intro where he holds wine glasses with Leslie. Slightly taken aback, Leslie tells J.R. that "the break-up of a marriage is hardly anything to celebrate". J.R. replies "No, but a man alone next to his future wife is certainly a reason to celebrate." Then we begin to wonder. Then later in the episode, J.R. actually proposes to Leslie and states he plans to serve Sue Ellen divorce papers soon, but rest assured, the show brings a new factor into play. Leslie tells him she is not ready to marry him and wishes them to wait longer, then as soon as he leaves, she walks into the other room where her ex-husband lies in bed. They laugh over how she fooled J.R., her ex-husband laughing, "I think he might actually divorce his wife".
This is something to note. Dallas may have answered 3 questions, but nevertheless, the new factors which come into play in this episode are numerous.
The episode starts off calmly with the resolution of the Takopa storyline as the Ewings have a party to celebrate Jock and Miss Ellie's continuing marriage before they go off
on their second honeymoon (so they likely won't be in the show for a while). But the new factors start near immediately as Sue Ellen receives a phone call during the party. It is from a woman who tells her she is "Alisha Ogden, Clint's wife." The tension begins as we suspect that Sue Ellen's affair has been discovered. They arrange to meet at a restaurant. The tension is high during this meeting, but Alisha is calm. She tells Sue Ellen that she was so thankful when Clint had finally ended his relationship with Sue Ellen, stopped contact with her, and married herself. She tells Sue Ellen that she does not believe she can stop their relationship, and that she is willing to share Clint "just to keep him from leaving me". Sue Ellen replies that "I would think that you would want to leave him", but Alisha tells her she would never do that. Shocked, Sue Ellen asks how she can live knowing her husband is having an affair. Her reply is simple. "I love him."
Here is a woman you cannot help but sympathize with. She has waited so long to marry him, and felt so happy when he stopped seeing Sue Ellen and married her, and now to see the man she loves so much start an affair with her behind her back. Yet she does not hate him for it. She loves him non-judgmentally, and is willing to let the affair continue just so that man she loves will not leave her, for this is her biggest fear, that he will divorce her to marry Sue Ellen.
Sue Ellen is not heartless. She, too, is taken aback with sympathy for Alisha. She calls Clint and asks to meet with him. At the meeting, she tells Clint that she does not feel right breaking up his marriage, and ends their relationship, leaving with a heartfelt "Goodbye, Clint." "Goodbye, Sue Ellen," Clint replies sadly, but acceptingly. Both are heartbroken. Clint was her first love, and so it would seem, the best man for her to marry. What Sue Ellen did was probably right, however, for Clint planned to divorce Alisha that night. Imagine that pitiful scene. Alisha dropping on her hands and knees weeping, begging Clint not to leave her, telling him that she is willing to share him. Sue Ellen is not truly a bad person at all. No matter how much she loves Clint and would be happy married to him, she will not allow this scene to take place.
Now that that question has been answered, there is something else we wonder at, although not one that seemed very pressing. Will Cliff discover proof of J.R.'s involvement in the South-East Asia counter-revolution? The answer comes brilliantly when Cliff meets Afton in the nightclub he frequents so often. They sleep together, and in the morning, the topic turns to J.R. Afton tells Cliff that J.R. broke up with her because she didn't understand his business matters. She tells Cliff that "he was always on the phone with people from foreign countries with funny names". You can see the look of stunned shock and glee on Cliff's face. He asks if any of the phone calls were from South-East Asia. She replies that "I think so". We cannot help but enjoy this victory a little ourselves. Dave may be withholding information from Cliff and reporting all their conversations to J.R., but now Cliff has found out via a completely different way, and J.R. is not likely to discover that he has learned.
But now we get to the primary issue we worried about at the ending of last week's episode. Now that Jock and Miss Ellie have gotten back together, will J.R. end up selling Ewing Oil needlessly? We see J.R. has been dodging Jeremy's calls until finally he is forced to schedule a meeting with him. At this meeting, Jeremy reminds J.R. he promised to sell the company even if Jock and Miss Ellie got back together, but J.R. tells him he has not gotten Jock to sign the papers and he and J.R. have decided to keep the company in the family "indefinitely". Naturally, Jeremy is infuriated that J.R. has broken his word and left him to explain this to the East Star Oil board. Later, he calls a meeting with Dave where he tells Dave to give Cliff all the East-Asia counter revolution papers so that he can lead an investigation into Ewing Oil, which will create a scandal so large J.R. may be imprisoned. A new factor has definitely come into play.
The final scene finds Sue Ellen reminiscing with J.R. about the beginning of their relationship and finally asks why it cannot be the way it was then. No sooner has she said this than the phone rings. She picks it up and has a very brief conversation before hanging it up. A look of shock is on her face. She tells J.R.: "It's Kristin, calling from California. You have another son."
And so ends a very exciting episode of Dallas. I must say I enjoyed it,
This leaves but one question in the viewers' mind: What will become of Sue Ellen next? She appears to have resigned herself to spending her days as a mother to John Ross, something she evidently feels guilty for neglecting. There is a heart-jerking scene at the end where she
Thanks for your comments, kirksroom. Like you, I find Sue Ellen to be a sympathetic character, even when she makes choices I don't agree with.
R.J. Koopmans, President, Ewing Oil Co. Ltd.-Canada says:
kirksroom is amazing. But its Westar & not East Star Oil. Just for context. Also, J.R. could have sold his private assets for a tidy profit to placate Jeremy Wendell since he can't get Jock to sign the Ewing Oil sale papers.
I always wondered who ran Four State, the other big oil company on the show.
Scotty Clayton says:
I have always loved these critiques, but you seriously paid no attention to the fact this is the final episode of Jock Ewing?

Rome defeated Carthage in the three Punic Wars. The first Punic War ended with Carthage losing half of their navy, which they totally relied on.

Jersey's society, like many others around the world, has changed. Long gone are the days where multiple generations of the same family lived and worked in the parish they always had. While those times will undoubtedly be fondly remembered by the very oldest members of our community, had they remained then Jersey would be a very different place to what it is today.
The States will shortly debate a new population policy, replacing what has created the vibrant and successful international business centre that is Jersey in 2018. Population control and migration policies are controversial and divisive because there will always be "winners" and "losers". I don't envy the States policymakers in their task and while they will certainly face criticism, they should be given credit for taking on the significant challenge of trying to predict and balance the needs of business, our ageing population and the long-term capacity of our island, whilst at the same time ensuring our community remains vibrant and successful.
The proposals have already been reported and analysed by Jersey's media and comments have come from various bodies representing different sectors of our community. I've read and reread the policy and as the CEO of an organisation that not only proudly promotes diversity and inclusivity but has them at the heart of its business, it's the downsides on page 20 that promoted me to pen this comment piece.
The proposals share some similarities with the approach that Guernsey has taken – short-term (nine months there instead of the 10 months proposed here) licences for temporary and seasonal roles and then medium-term permits (three and five year there versus the suggested four here). My colleagues tell me that the issue with these medium-term permit is that people move to Guernsey, take six to 12 months to learn the job, the personalities and the nuances, are effective for 12 – 18 months and then knowing the end is rapidly approaching already have one eye on where to go next. That, not to mention all the costs of recruitment and relocation, is a real concern for me. Younger people may relish that transient life but those with families who want to put down roots and be an active part of the community may not be so keen to come to a small island in the middle of the Channel knowing they'll likely have to pack up again in just a few years, or, as suggested under the plans, stay but be tied to the same employer, no matter whether they are good or bad.
Is that what we want for our community? The policy risks of creating a two-tier society and gives significant power to the business community over people's ability to build a future in Jersey. That seems to go against a desire to a have a cohesive and equal community.
UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (2012).
If the States is sure this policy is the best possible approach, then businesses in Jersey need to acknowledge the power they have not only over people's future, but also the future of our community and must act responsibly.
I accept that challenge – I don't want to see a two-tier society where Jersey residents are valued according to the tax revenue they generate, and where they are branded as either high skilled or low skilled.
The foundation of a community isn't separation, it's inclusion. It isn't temporariness, it's permanence.
At The Channel Islands Co-operative, we believe in potential and that all people should have the equality of opportunity to succeed. Some of our best people in both Jersey and Guernsey are first generation migrants who are justifiably proud of their heritage but fiercely loyal to their birthplace.
We will continue to commit to our people for the long-run, not the short-term. If our people want to build a future in Jersey for themselves and their families, we will be behind them every step of the way. This will benefit us as a business – the case for diversity is clear, diversity can boost innovation and employee engagement, and companies with greater gender and racial diversity financially outperform their peers. It will also benefit our communities - social inclusion and integration are more likely when people feel that they can put down roots.
And we would encourage all businesses to join us in taking their responsibility to our society seriously.
If this policy is adopted, we all need to put the greater good on our agenda.

Domovoy (Домовой) Review
Published by alex December 15th, 2009 in Europe & Russia and Reviews. 2 Comments
Domovoy (The Ghost), the hitman thriller from promising new director Karen Oganesyan offers a much-needed sign of hope for Russia's ailing genre film segment. To its credit, the film sports relatively high production values and slick cinematography resulting in a glossy, polished look; a hyped-up new age soundtrack nicely amplifies the masterfully crafted mood of otherworldly dread and suspense; and Oganesyan's fresh take on controversial top-of-the-hour subject matter dynamically interweaved with Dostoevsky-lite elements that manifest themselves towards the finale complete the magic formula.
Domovoy opens on a gloomy, rainy day as Anton Prachenko (Konstantin Khabenskiy), a best-selling crime novelist, picks up a manuscript from his editor and heads to a high-end Moscow bookstore to sign copies of his latest book, The Revenge of Domovoy, as they are brought in by fans. Before putting his signature inside the front cover, Anton obligingly asks each customer for their name and whether they enjoyed reading the book. Some time into the session, a casually dressed stranger in a baseball cap approaches, says his name is also Anton, and describes the novel as "shit" when presented with the usual question. He then takes his signed copy, walks out into the pouring rain, retrieves a handgun with a silencer from his jacket and proceeds to calmly shoot the driver and then the passenger of a passing vehicle.
Having just witnessed a contract killing in broad daylight for the first time in his life, Anton is truly shaken as he hurries out of the bookstore to reach the crime scene and experience firsthand the type of situation he has been writing popular fiction about for so many years. That evening, Anton – still finding it difficult to come to terms with what he has seen – struggles to put his impressions into words to use in an upcoming book. Consumed by his work, he does not seem interested in dinner and upsets his girlfriend Vika (Chulpan Khamatova) forgetting about their anniversary. The next day Anton predictably impresses the editor with his newly written piece, which leads him to wonder if firsthand experience may be the missing key to his writing.
On his way home, Prachenko inadvertently happens to stumble across the other Anton, the shooter from the previous day, who again speaks negatively of his writings and suggests he should try doing things firsthand before writing about them. In part fearing retribution since he has provided the police with information on the suspect and in part because he wants to find out more about the shooter, Prachenko does not report the encounter, but instead begins to meet the seemingly good-natured hitman on a regular basis and to document his firsthand experiences in the book he is writing. At one point, the hitman claims to be the legendary Domovoy, the main protagonist of Prachenko's novels based on a real life killer who was supposed to have died in a police raid, but Anton does not take him seriously.
As the two men get to know each other, Domovoy (Vladimir Mashkov) seems to take a genuine interest in Anton's work and invites the writer to go on missions with him so that he can experience all aspects of the trade firsthand. Anton gladly agrees and volunteers to try doing everything personally – from target surveillance to shooting practice – minus the actual killing. Surprisingly, this arrangement works for quite some time before the inevitable denouement finally takes place and Anton finds himself expertly framed for murder.
Amid the general unimpressiveness of most modern Russian genre productions, Domovoy stands out as a remarkable example of a film that does many things right.

"relatively high production values and slick cinematography resulting in a glossy, polished look; a hyped-up new age soundtrack", the only few words from this review with which i agree!
Badly written characters can not sustain cinematography and soundtrack!
:)) Sorry guys, but a woman who sees someone beaten in front of her with a gun jumps for joy when she receives concert tickets?
Oh, and the writer seems SO tormented that he has to pick a LIVE target (in the restaurant).
SO, SO badly written!
I didn't stop watching because I missed the Russian language and was also curious of how the Russian new cinema was doing. I'm sorry I wasted my time, though!
Although not perfect, if you want a hitman movie that does Russia good, watch Brat!

Posted by badhorrorgoodtimes on February 17, 2013
Since the nuclear power plant went in next door, things have been strange at Tromaville High. A teacher lost her hair and become covered in grody boils. The Honor Society has become a gang of vile, violent, drug pushing Cretins. More pressing, there is a toxic waste leak in the basement. The super shady plant manager refuses to clean it properly, fearing bad publicity. Even goody-goody, geeky Dewey has a nuclear freakout and throws his melting body out a classroom window. The other students start putting the pieces together.
Squeaky clean Warren (Gil Brenton) and Chrissy (Janelle Brady) haven't gone all the way yet. Warren's buddy, Eddie, has hatched a plan to finally get them together. Eddie rounds everyone up for a frat party that night. Unluckily, the Cretins have just harvested a new crop of weed from a puddle of atomic waste. They call the new batch an 'Atomic High'. When they cross paths with Eddie, they force him to buy one of the improved joints. That night, Chrissy and Warren smoke the green glowing joint and under its effects, have sex. Once at their respective homes, they each have strange hallucinations. Warren becomes a crusty monster with a giant dong and Chrissy dreams of being pregnant with something inhuman.
Back at school, still feeling awful, they confront Eddie about where he got the drugs. When he confesses the joint came from the Cretins, Warren is livid. Cretins could have put anything in the joint! Not feeling any better, Warren leaves school. It's not long before he's turned into the oozing monster from his hallucination. Spike (Robert Prichard), leader of the Cretins, and a few other Cretins are trying to scare up some cash. They're using the old alka-seltzer seizure routine to steal an old lady's hand bag. They succeed but are intercepted by Atomic Warren. He brutally dismantles two Cretins and knocks Spike unconscious.
During cheerleader practice, Chrissy's hallucination starts to come true. She runs to the bathroom and vomits/births a spiny tadpole baby. The tadpole gets flushed into the toxic waste in the basement and Chrissy is rushed to the hospital. The doctor confirms that she's ok but she's just had a full term miscarriage. Worried(?), Warren goes back to school and runs into Eddie. Together they check out the brand new laser in the science lab. They beat a hasty retreat when the science teacher finds them and Warren blunders right into a fight with the Cretins. Warren is pretty quickly overpowered. Their little party is crashed by a teacher. It's the final straw for the principal, The Cretins are kicked out of school. For some reason, this really upsets them and they vow revenge against Warren.
Super Creep from the power plant starts sending workers to take radiation reads at the school. They close the east wing. One of the workers heads to check out the fallout shelter, this is where the school is keeping their open containers of toxic waste. Totally normal for Tromaville. This poor nameless worker meets the mutant radioactive offspring of Warren and Chrissy. Let's call it Warssy. Warssy is not friendly, he rips the worker apart. The Cretins use the confusion of the east wing closure to enact their revenge against Warren and the school.
Most of the Cretins capture the principal and make the emergency evacuation announcement. The students stampede out. Spike and the remaining Cretins kidnap Chrissy. They hold her in the fallout shelter and send for Warren. By the time Warren gets back to the school, The Cretins are joyriding through on motorcycles, destroying the school and trying to keep him from Chrissy. Warren finally bursts into the fallout shelter and Spike halts him with a gun in the face. Spike and his sidekick, Taru, brandish weapons and make threats. Then Warssy joins the party. It punches through Taru's face and chases Spike out of the shelter. Now, Warren and Chrissy are on the run, they must get past The Cretins and Warssy to get out alive. Warssy takes out The Cretins one by one. Except Spike, he finds Warren and Chrissy cowering in the science lab. Warren, ever the gentleman, warns Spike to just give it up and stay away from Warssy. Spike is not a good listener, Warssy gives him a very interesting headbutt and kills him. Warssy goes after his mom next and papa Warren uses the laser we learned about earlier to zap his ass. Warren and Chrissy escape but the scuzzy plant manager brushes past them, convinced it's a joke. He gets an eyeful of Warssy before the both explode.
Whoa, it's our first Troma movie! What took us so long? This was actually the first Troma movie I saw, it does a wonderful job of throwing open the door on the weird world of Tromaville. Class of Nuke 'Em High is a great example of everything we're looking for on this blog. Let's jump in and get slimey.
Again, we've got another one with a super catchy theme song. Somehow, I've had a medley of 'Nuke 'Em High' and 'Roxie' (from Chicago) stuck in my head for DAYS. If I wasn't already a little nuts, this would have put me over the edge. If you gently poke around the internet, you should be able to find it.
What's a Troma movie without effects? We get quite a few special treats in this one. Dewey's freakout and subsequent meltdown (ha!) is pretty spectacular. I'm especially pleased with this effect because it's not claymation. As I mentally playback all the other great melting scenes of the 80s, it seems to me they were all clay. Warrren's monster make up is pretty funny, with the bulging, pus-y sacks on his forehead. We get a great fist assisted suffocation. Then, of course, Spike is killed by spikes to the face. All great fun.
The other telltale sign you're watching Troma? Perverse, oddball humor. Here there is an undercurrent of 'nuclear power is bad', the more subtle (ha!) visual gags play on this. Watch for the plant workers eating lunch out of isotope containers, posters and basically everything in the background. The Cretins also seem to be one long running joke. Especially in the scene where the principal frisks them. Not to mention when Gonzo tells Muffy they can't hang out because he's busy with work and "That's what you get for dating a yuppie".
Class of Nuke 'Em High has nearly everything I look for in a horror film. It hits on all the main points: high schoolers or other people with compromised judgment, a high school for them to play in, Punks! or generally out there characters, interesting effects and copious amounts of goo. As far as I'm concerned the only thing we're missing is a strong female character. Muffy and Taru do not count, they are still under Spike's control. I'm giving this one four spiney tadpoles.

For once I actually completely agree with Bobi! Instead of writing the same ideas again I will ask – Why are there vats of toxic waste in the basement of a school? I also give it 4 spiney tadpoles!
P.S. Very shortly the world should have Return to Nuke 'Em High. Normally I scoff at remakes, but I'm actually excited to see what Lloyd does this time.

We are going to deviate from our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this very special announcement: Troma Entertainment approached us this weekend to ask for our help. We are both honored and thrilled to be a part of something we believe in so strongly. Troma has been a part of our lives for a very long time and is one of the reasons that we're so in love with this genre. For those of you who don't know about Troma Enterainment:
"Established in 1974 by Yale friends Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, Troma Entertainment is one of the longest-running independent movie studios in United States history, and one of the best-known names in the industry. World famous for movie classics like Kaufman's The Toxic Avenger, Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD, Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, as well as Class of Nuke 'Em High and Tromeo & Juliet, Troma's seminal films. Among today's luminaries whose early work can be found in Troma's 800+ film library are Samuel L. Jackson, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Jenna Fischer, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Costner, Fergie, Vincent D'Onofrio, James Gunn and Eli Roth."
Troma Entertainement is trying to raise enough money to get to The Cannes Film Festival to shoot a documentary about the struggles of independent film. Here is a description of the documentary from the website:
"Occupy Cannes will tell the story of how the Troma Team, economically blacklisted independent filmmakers, fight to survive in a world dominated by the mega media conglomerates; mega media conglomerates who spend more on a party at the Cannes than Troma spends on an entire production. Our documentary will depict the struggle that occurs when we try to present a truly independent film at the Cannes Film Festival. Occupy Cannes will be not only entertaining but uniquely informative. It will be a true David versus Goliath story. You can help Troma hurl a stone right into the forehead of the mainstream movie monopoly on behalf of independent art and commerce. Occupy Cannes will turn one of the world's longest running and most important film festival inside out for the viewer. From meetings with buyers, to soirees on the Riviera (to which Lloyd Kaufman the Troma Team are never invited), to the premiere of Return to Nuke 'Em High on the "green" carpet, viewers will join us as we continue our valiant crusade: giving independent art back to the people! We'll have the opportunity to film everyone and everything at the Festival, from luminaries like Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino to the independent filmmaker trying to sell a tender, heartfelt documentary about his pet hamster. This approach will give viewers an insight they've never had into the inner workings of the Cannes Film Festival at every level. Occupy Cannes will prove to be an invaluable tool not only for independent filmmakers, but for all artists, scholars, and anyone that values the idea of artistic independence. More important, the issue of artistic independence is bigger than Cannes, Troma, Return to Nuke 'Em High, and the film industry itself; it's about showing the world that independent art must be actively fought for. All we need is you. Help us to bring the true spirit of independence back to Cannes and this big blue marble we call Earth."
Is there anything quite like a Troma film? Tara Miller (Return to Nuke Em High) said it best, "Everything you see in Troma films is the sheer result of a hard-working, diligent group of people who BLEED horror, sacrifice sleep and implement a total DIY practice." The aim of this documentary and campaign is to advocate for all independent films and film makers.
We urge you to get involved – to support Troma in any way that you can. Even if you aren't able to donate, spread the word! Troma sticks with you. Troma is there for you. Be there for Troma.

by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | Read by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Contemporary Culture • 45 mins. • Unabridged • © 2017
This brief reflection on the state of gender in contemporary society is told in quiet but firm tones by its author. Listeners will shake their heads as she recounts the multiple microaggressions faced by young women in Nigeria. The sexism at the root of each anecdote resonates because the stereotypes are universal. Adichie makes her point with a steady, even tone, and through her strong thesis, she gives voice to the many contradictions women cope with in our contemporary world. Equally important, she challenges men to recognize how these issues limit people of both genders. The entire essay can be listened to at all once during a long drive or wait. Listeners may want to rewind a few of the sections more than once. M.R. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2017]

Conduct Expectations
The Board expects pupils to conduct themselves in keeping with their levels of development, maturity, and demonstrated capabilities with a proper regard for the rights and welfare of other pupils and school staff, the educational purpose underlying all school activities, and the care of school facilities and equipment. The Board believes that standards of pupil behavior must be set cooperatively through interaction among the pupils, parent (s) or legal guardian (s), staff and community members, producing an atmosphere that encourages pupils to grow in self-discipline. The development of this atmosphere requires respect for self and others, as well as for school district and community property on the part of pupils, staff and community members. All acts of misconduct (behavior that violates school and/or District Codes of Conduct) shall result in consequences set forth in such Codes of Conduct. Examples of behavior toward a student that is violative of the Codes of Conduct include; demeaning, insulting, threatening, assaultive behavior, and behavior that is damaging to a student's property (P-5131).
The Board of Education prohibits acts of harassment, intimidation, or bullying or a pupil.
A safe and civil environment in school is necessary for pupils to learn and achieve high academic standards. Harassment, intimidation, or bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors is conduct that disrupts both a pupil's ability to learn and a school's ability to educate its pupils in a safe and disciplined environment. Since pupils learn by example, school administrators, faculty, staff and volunteers should be commended for demonstrating appropriate behavior, treating others with civility and respect, and refusing to tolerate harassment, intimidation, or bullying.

A range of methods will be incorporated to respond to incidents of harassment, intimidation and bullying which shall include an appropriate combination of counseling, support services, intervention services and other programs.

There are a number of comics writers over the past few decades who have become both respected mainstream writers, as well as icons of underground culture and thinking. Alan Moore being the most obvious, but another who has had significant impact through his comics and sci-fi writing is Warren Ellis.
I was lucky enough to be involved in a project with Warren, and Alan Moore, recently, as both contributed essays to our anthology Spirits of Place (Warren's essay is available to read as a free excerpt at the website). But previous to that I'd had a lot less exposure to his work than many of my friends and co-writers, who certainly hold him in the highest regard and have regularly recommended that I dig into his impressive body of writings.
