Download or read book Duck Soup written by J. Hoberman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marx Brothers are universally considered to be classic Hollywood's preeminent comedy team and Duck Soup is generally regarded as their quintessential film. A topical satire of dictatorship and government in general, the movie was a critical failure and box-office let-down on its initial release in 1933. J. Hoberman's study of the film traces its reputation history, from the initial disappointment of its release, to its rise to cult status in the 1960s when the Marx's anarchic, anti-establishment humor seemed again timely. Hoberman places Duck Soup, alongside analogous comedies-Dr. Strangelove (1964), the Beatles films, Morgan! (1966), The President's Analyst (1967) and The Producers (1968). It attained canonical stature as a touchstone for Woody Allen and would be recognized by the Library of Congress in the 1990s. Hoberman's analysis provides a historical and political context as well as an in-depth production history, drawing on primary sources and emphasizing director McCarey's prior work along with the Marx Brothers as well as the situation at Paramount, a substantial synopsis, and an account of the movie's initial reception, concluding with its subsequent elevation to comic masterpiece.

Download or read book Pinky Promise written by J. D. Blackrose and published by Bell Bridge Books. This book was released on 2024-05-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm Becs, and I'm a Summoner. I can call Powers—fae, demons and the like—to the mortal plane. Does this always go the way I want? No. No, it does not. It's caused a lot of complications. Just ask anyone who knows me. Fortunately, I've got a host of friends, a gorgeous boyfriend, a magic shop, and an over-eager magic wand with an itch for dark witches. What I don't have is my dearest friend, Pinky, because the six-foot-tall fairy returned to the Fae Lands after he sacrificed his magic to help capture a dangerous djinn. I'm battered and bruised but I made a solemn vow—a literal pinky promise—to find a way to restore my friend's magic, and I am determined to do it—even if it means facing the terrifying Queen of All Faerie, Queen Titania herself. But that's not my only problem. The djinn magic infected the tether between Earth and Faerie. If the bindings's not restored, it could mean the end of both worlds. No pressure. Every time I think I've got things sorted out, something else happens, and the laws of unintended consequences follow me like a dog looking for a bone. Speaking of which, King Oberon just dropped off a huge Irish Wolfhound puppy, and I haven't the faintest idea what to feed her. It's going to take more than a little magic to pull this off.

Karen Jacobs has heard plenty of stories about Glorious Pictures and Phil and Tony Waxman, the notorious twin brothers who co-founded the film studio and now run it with four iron fists. For the last twenty years, their mix of edgy films and take-no-prisoners deal making had earned the company hundreds of awards, billions of dollars, and a singular reputation as an incredibly tough place to work. But when she is off e red a job there, Karen doesnt hesitate, knowing that if any place proved that the sky was the limit, Glorious was it. She finds herself with an all-access pass to the tantrums, whims, follies, neuroses, and unimaginable egos of the celebrities who star in Glorious films, which come as no surprise. It's the absolute insanity inside the company that knocks her for a loop. Armed with tenacity, ambition and wit, Karen learns that what it takes to make it in the civilized world may have no bearing in the Glorious one. Extremely competitive and cutthroat, the Glorious executives continuously search for ways to outdo, outscheme, and outmaneuver each other in their attempts to impress the Waxmans.

Download or read book Here Comes the Queen written by Sharon D. Sale and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year of our Lord, 1722, Queen Sarafina Bellerose ruled the kingdom with two fists of iron, a step ahead of King Cole Victor XIX. Truth is said, the king allowed her all power. It amused him to witness her torturing his many beautiful mistresses. Fact of the matter is, the queen did not cleave beauty in her face, but she clenched in her hand the king's heart, and she sat on his throne. Behold, then there is Lady Mia Stonebrook, and she will scheme with the devil for her chance to beguile the king, who easily falls prey for many beautiful lady seductive games, and he has had many. The most powerful royal lords and ladies in the kingdom made epic mistakes by misjudging Lady Mia, most so Queen Sarafina. The royals and the creme de la creme attended many luxurious parties. They dressed in the most extravagant attire to sit together at the most lavish suppers. They reside in gorgeous castles, great houses, country villas, and chateaus, scheming against one another, committing deadly treason, repulsive incest, shocking adultery, distasteful family hatred, and horrifying murder committed in a very sinful, still godly manner, weaved in this story with a surprising twist.
