Unfortunate citizens were sent flying back as STAG and the Syndicate shredded through the roads of Steelport. Alongside the dangerous driving, bullet shells and rockets flew through the air as both sides tried to get an upper hand on the other.
A group of four N-Forcers raced though Loren Square in pursuit of two speeding Luchadore trucks. The masked wrestlers drove on dangerously close to a STAG road-block just south of a deserted Friendly Fire. Lasers from the road-blocking STAG became more powerful the closer the gamg drove, until the lead Luchadore slammed his brake and wrenched the wheel to a side. The second truck followed the lead and both drifted to the left and continued tearing up the city northwards.
All but one N-Forcer

Shaundi looked over the seats (with difficulty, thanks to the high headrests) and through the tiny slits in the window, but all she could see was the clear, blue sky. She moved nearer the seats and tilted her head in different ways, until the double doors banged open behind her. A heavily armoured soldier looked at her sternly, whilst his buddy reached inside and grabbed at Viola 's arm.
"Hey!" Viola yelled. "Get the fuck off me!" She struggled in his grip as he pulled her outside.
The soldier held her close to him, his torso pressed up against her contesting back. "Now, now; play nice, gorgeous," he half-whispered. He raised his pistol and traced it along her tense jawline with one hand, while he squeezed the other around her wrist with strong fingers. His face twisted into a sadistic smile when she winced.
"Knock it off, Dearly," the other soldier warned. He quite tenderly helped Shaundi - who resisted with a lot of effort - out of the N-Forcer and continued, "We 're just dropping them off, so cut it out with the creepy shit."
Dearly snarled at his co-worker when he turned his back and slightly leaned into Viola 's neck. Viola expected more, but he only breathed his warm breath onto her. He pulled back when a STAG Condor began to descend in front of them. The back opened up, leaving a ramp for passengers to climb aboard. Shaundi was first pushed inside, then Viola. Both soldiers waved them off as the door closed electronically.

The “Sunny Randall” series follows main character Sunny Randall, who is a female detective. She was created by Parker so that Helen Hunt would play her in a movie, but it never happened. He kept the series going because his publisher asked him to. Both Randall and Spenser (another Boston detective that was created by Parker) have things in common, but also things that make them unique. There are six novels to the series.
A fragment of life in Hollywood is being spread over the screen of the Music Hall in Sunset Boulevard. Utilizing as the premise of their forthcoming, burning dramatization a shameful circumstance including a blurred, maturing quiet screen star and a destitute, pessimistic youthful scriptwriter, Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder (with an aid from D. M. Marshman, Jr.) have composed an effective story of the aspirations and disappointments that join to make life in the cardboard city so entrancing to the outside world.
Sunset Boulevard is a drama/romance black and white film. It was released to the public on August 10, 1950 in New York City. The film was directed by Billy Wilder, and produced and co-written by Charles Brackett. The film was named after the boulevard that runs through Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, California. Film stars William Holden as Joseph C. Gillis, an unsuccessful screenwriter, and Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, a faded silent film actress who drags him into her fantasy world where she dreams of making a great comeback to the big screen, with Erich von Stroheim as Max Von Mayerling, Norma’s devoted servant. Nancy Olson, Fred Clark, Lloyd Gough, and Jack Webb also make an appearance in this film and play supporting roles. Sunset Blvd. was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and won three. The film was noted to be “culturally and historically” by the U.S. Library of Congress in 1989. Sunset was also included in the first group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Sunset Boulevard was ranked number twelve on the American Film Institute’s list of the one hundred best American films of the twentieth century in 1998.
The bright red fire truck sped through the streets filled with uniform, pale grey colored houses. The wheels skidded to a stop in front of a house that looked just like the others, as Beatty violently pulled the brake backwards. The men went tumbling backwards, as if the truck had just hit a brick wall in front of them.
Before Willow was allowed the chance to reply, a series of rapid footsteps grew louder. Both girls turned around to see two guards barging into the room, pointing their shock batons directly at them. “We’re here for her,” one of them announced, gesturing to Clarke. They slowly stood up from the ground, Willow shaking her head.
I enjoyed both the 1961 movie adaptation of A Raisin in the Sun starring Sidney Poiter since it was intriguing, action-packed and stayed loyal to the book even with some slight deviations from the book. In the book, the Younger’s are only seen in their apartment, but the movie adds different settings. The book only mentions Walter’s work life and social life with his friend Bobo and Willy, but the movie included scenes of Walter at work, and at the bar with his friends. I think that the additional scenes were effective since it helps better understand Walter. In Act one Scene one of the book, Walter’s hatred and reluctance to go to work towards his job seems childish, but with the movie’s additional scenes, depicts Walter’s job as meaningless. Also in the book, Walter’s decision to trust Willy seems arbitrary since in Act
"Let go of me or so help me, I will scream" she said as I laughed
As un-athletic as Kane was, he excelled at one school sport. Dodgeball. He dove past Gort and tumbled under the GMC. Gort spun and slammed the bat into the ground with a loud thunk a split second after Kane jerked his leg under. Watching Gort’s feet in the blue glow, he rolled back and forth, avoiding the blind jabs until the aggressor tired from the attack and stepped back. Before the slashes resumed, Kane pulled his all-purpose wrench from a pocket and slid forward under the engine. He jabbed the tool into the darkness where the oil plug belonged, hoping to find the protruding nut.
The Cinema of Attractions Early Film, Its Spectator and the Avant-Garde has many concepts that relate to the novel, The Sun Also Rises. In this project, Tom Gunning’s ideas will be helpful to expound the male’s perspective of women. There are plenty of scenes that are not requisite for the narrative of the novel, however, it has been added to seek attention from the audience. There was unnecessary hatred shown through mockery towards the Jews in this novel. This can be seen in situations where Robert Cohn when to university and got neglected, and when the narrator says, “He has a hard, Jewish, stubborn steak”. This creates racial conflictions and brings attention towards the audience. Tom Gunning elucidates how women can be a center of attraction
“Just leave me” came the shaky mumbled voice came from between them “hand me over, they’ll leave you alone you can get away” he spat the rock onto the ground, Phoenix letting go of him to swoop it up.
In chapter two of The Cultures of American Film, the main focus is the establishment of studios. As demand for films rose in the early 1900’s, production companies needed to expand; this lead to the creation of large scale studios.
“I need to get out of here,” she mutters. Swinging her legs over the edge, she’s about to stand up when the girl puts her arm on her shoulder.
Sunset Boulevard (Wilder 1950) explores the intermingling of public and private realms, puncturing the illusion of the former and unveiling the grim and often disturbing reality of the latter. By delving into the personal delusions of its characters and showing the devastation caused by disrupting those fantasies, the film provides not only a commentary on the industry of which it is a product but also a shared anxiety about the corrupting influence of external perception. Narrated by a dead man, centering on a recluse tortured by her own former stardom, and concerning a once-promising director who refuses to believe his greatest star could ever be forgotten, the work dissects a multitude of illusory folds to reveal an ultimately
As he dragged himself out of the pit, he attempted a run to the truck. The keys were found on the dashboard, now he had time to check for injuries. A slash was found across his chest, he swiftly bandaged the injury and drove through what was left of the city; this was one week later…
Several platoons were sweeping the airport shooting the dead as they came into range. An Engineer company, followed by a rifle company raced across the runways on an unknown mission. Another company of Engineers were setting up a fence fifty feet from where the original had collapsed. The smell of the pile of dead had many soldiers pause in their work to vomit. The fence crew was watched over by two companies of riflemen, although no mobile dead had approached the opening. At the same time, mechanics climbed over the
