Jay and silentbob strike back1/1/2024 And when Smith trots out his many Zucker brothers-style movie lampoons (“Charlie’s Angels,” “Planet of the Apes” and “The X-Files” are among the many targets), you’re not sure if his intentions are genuine, or if he’s actually referencing the fatigue of such gags, even in his own film.The mishmash irrevocably worsens once Jay and Bob are turned loose inside “Miramax Studios” (actually the CBS Radford lot in North Hollywood, where the movie-within-the-movie from “Scream 3” was also set), and their odyssey transforms into a phantasmagorical orgy of masturbatory Miramax in-jokes and contract-player cameos. That early-on Ain’t It Cool News sendup really informs of pic’s tone, pitched somewhere, uncomfortably, between parody and self-parody. The result is the first Smith movie that wears its subversiveness on its sleeve - it’s as though Smith has suddenly lost all faith in the intelligence of his audience. But this time out, Smith has targeted something - movie franchises and the studios that produce them - that is already highly self-parodical. Since “Clerks,” Smith’s films have been fitted with raw, taboo-bursting dialogue and a sneakily subversive wit that deconstructed a number of Hollywood genres. With this set-up in place, pic turns from narrative to slapdash sketch comedy and broad parodies of big Hollywood movies: Jay and Silent Bob receive instruction in “The Book of the Road” from fellow hitcher George Carlin, before ill-advisedly trying out their newfound expertise on nun Carrie Fisher (one of a string of “Star Wars” references) they get picked up in the Mystery Machine by the characters from “Scooby Doo” (a parody of a movie that hasn’t even come out yet) and they find themselves the unwitting pawns of a quartet of jewel thief femmes fatales ( Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, Ali Larter and Jennifer Schwalbach). Back in the present, the duo is informed by their pal Brodie ( Jason Lee, reprising his “Mallrats” character) that their comic book alter egos, Bluntman and Chronic, are about to be the subject of a big-budget Hollywood action movie.Īfter verifying this with “Bluntman” co-creator Holden (Ben Affleck, in his “Chasing Amy” role) and reading some hurtful gossip on a movie Web site (called Movie Poop Shoot, but designed to look exactly like Ain’t It Cool News), they set off on a cross-country hitchhike to California, where they plan to sabotage the production or, at least, get in on the action. Pic opens on a clever bit in which we see our titular heroes as infants, parked in their carriages outside of a New Jersey convenience store, which is subsequently revealed to be the Quik Mart location from “Clerks,” where the characters were first introduced almost a decade ago. Like the other films in Smith’s unofficial series of “New Jersey Chronicles,” “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” is set in a continuous universe, with the characters and settings from “Clerks,” “Mallrats,” “Chasing Amy” and “Dogma” roaming in and out of the action to a greater extent than Smith has allowed before.

Define skim through book1/1/2024 If there is a word in the text that is not clear or difficult to define in context: look it up. Use the dictionary and other appropriate reference works. This may seem obvious, but the title may provide clues to the writer's attitude, goals, personal viewpoint, or approach.Īgain, this appears obvious, but it is a factor in a "close reading." By slowing down, you will make more connections within the text.ĥ. Your task as an enlightened critical reader is to read what is on the page, giving the writer a fair chance to develop ideas and allowing yourself to reflect thoughtfully, objectively, on the text. Learn about the author, the history of the author and the text, the author's anticipated audience read introductions and notes.Ĭritical readers seek knowledge they do not "rewrite" a work to suit their own personalities. Prepare to become part of the writer's audience.Īfter all, authors design texts for specific audiences, and becoming a member of the target audience makes it easier to get at the author's purpose. What does it take to be a critical reader? There are a variety of answers available to this question here are some suggested steps:ġ. A critical reading gets at "deep structure" (if there is such a thing apart from the superficial text!), that is, logical consistency, tone, organization, and a number of other very important sounding terms. What is the difference? If a reader "skims" the text, superficial characteristics and information are as far as the reader goes. There is more involved, both in effort and understanding, in a critical reading than in a mere "skimming" of the text. Read the start of sentences with an eye to whether they will yield useful information, and read them all the way through only if they appear to be useful at first glance.Critical reading means that a reader applies certain processes, models, questions, and theories that result in enhanced clarity and comprehension. If the start of a sentence holds no promise of the sentence giving you the information you want, skip to the next sentence. When skimming, you don’t even have to read complete sentences. Don’t necessarily read complete sentences When you skim, read the first sentence in each paragraph and then decide whether the rest of the paragraph deserves a read. The introductory sentence of each paragraph usually describes what follows in the paragraph. Read the first sentence in each paragraph They tell you what the author’s aim is, which can help you decide early on whether the article or chapter is worth reading in detail. The introductory paragraphs usually express the main idea, argument, or goal of an article or chapter. Try to detect the main idea in the introductory paragraphs By prereading an article before you skim, you can pinpoint the parts of the article that require your undivided attention and the parts that you can skip. Preread before you start skimmingĮxamine an article before you read it. See whether you can recognize how the author places background material, secondary arguments, tangential information, and just plain frippery. Besides noticing the material on the page, notice how he presents the material. You can focus on the original, meaningful material and skip over the material that just supports the author’s argument without advancing it.ĭetecting the author’s strategies requires you to put yourself in his place. Think like the authorĮvery article, book, and Web page is written to make a point of some kind, and if you can detect the author’s strategies for making his point, you can separate the important from the unimportant material in the course of your reading. Yes, you should take one step at a time, and running down stairs is reckless, but you also get there faster by running. Skimming is a bit like running down stairs. In other words, you move your eyes down the page as much as you move them from side to side. When skimming, you move your eyes vertically as much as you move your eyes horizontally. Aimlessly skimming with no particular purpose can cause drowsiness, and eventually, sleep. Think of two or three terms that describe what you want to know, and as you skim, keep an eye out for those two or three terms. Know what you wantīefore you start skimming, ask yourself what you want to get from the book or article under your nose. Following are some tips and techniques for recognizing what is important to read in the act of skimming. Skimming - getting the essence from reading material without reading all the words - boils down to knowing what parts to read and what parts to pass by.

He will be a player I will be wearing my glasses with so I don't miss anything." I'm going to have a lot of Sundays to evaluate a lot of players. "Guess what, 16 years, I'm done playing football and sit behind a mic," Smith said. After he retires, he plans to keep an eye on Ramsey as an analyst. Smith made it clear he will have the final word. I wanted to give every opportunity if he had anything to say right there, right now. "After the end of the game, I had a little chit-chat with him. "He said, 'I'm not scared of you.' I said, 'OK, cool, I'll see you after the game,'" Smith said. According to Smith, Ramsey pushed him in the back after one of Joe Flacco's interceptions and caused Smith to fall to the ground. Maybe Ramsey didn't know what he was in for when the feud started. "He's more experienced," Sherman told the Ravens' website. If there is a Hall of Fame for trash talking, Smith would be a surefire, first-ballot inductee.Īt last season's Pro Bowl, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who is a renowned trash talker in his own right, bowed to Smith's way for words. Smith also once celebrated in the end zone by imitating rowing a boat to mock cornerback Fred Smoot, who was involved in the Vikings' Love Boat scandal. He famously told Aqib Talib to "ice up, son" after the cornerback failed to finish a game against him. Remember, Smith once said he came out of the womb trash-talking. His enthusiasm to make the tackle is phenomenal right there, so I keep going." "But the problem is, when you drive down, what you have to understand is this old man with a torn Achilles repaired gets going. "When the ball is in the air, what you're supposed to do - I've only been playing for 16 years - is drive down, especially with an old man," Smith said. On one of his catches, Smith contends Ramsey didn't play aggressive enough. Just when you thought Smith was finished, he went to the ESPN telestrator to critique a couple of his plays against Ramsey. "I’ve hung out with a lot better, savvier and well-throned DBs than him," Smith said. On Monday morning, Smith made an already-scheduled appearance on ESPN's Mike & Mike, where he continued his verbal assault on Ramsey. I got cleats with stronger thread then you!!!" 5 overall pick on social media, on national television and even at the telestrator.Ī few hours after the game, Smith took to Twitter to rip Ramsey, writing: "In 5 to 10 u will be retiring and they will be taking my measurements for something you will NEVER BE.

But one of the main reasons for getting the new controller was because of its (I'm hoping) seamless integration with Analog Lab V. I just bought a nice new Keylab49 Essential which is integrating really nicely with the individual instruments (and had an older Analog Experience 49 which I just couldn't get to integrate easily to everything). You wouldn’t know it by just looking, though. Neither via the Arturia Software Center (which will start downloading, repeatedly stop and resume but never - and I mean like an hour later - actually finish), or directly from the Arturia product download page (which repeatedly says "failed network error", and even multiple manual "resumes" later, no joy). Analog Lab is a marvel of software design, combining every synth and keyboard audio engine from the instruments of V Collection in one place. Analog Lab presets surface the most common controls you might want to get your hands on to tweak your sound or control livelike the drawbars on a B-3 V or the filter controls of a Matrix-12 V. I have been able to install all of the instruments from V-Collection 8 but I cannot download Analog Lab V. I have a 2017 iMac Pro, 3.2GHz 8-core intel, plenty of hard disc space, 32GB of RAM, and my internet speed test just came back at 305 Mb/s.
