Shooting Stars

They made their first television show together, Vic Reeves Big Night Out in 1989. The television show stayed true to the nightclub act's variety show format, with various acts on display from physical comedy to childish banters. Later they created a one-off pilot for a sitcom ‘The Weekenders’ in 1992. And then in 1993 they created ‘The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer’ and Shooting Stars, a comedy panel show that ran for five series. In 1999 they appeared in another sketch comedy show called, ‘Bang Bang, Its Reeves and Mortimer’. In 2003 in British Comedy, Mortimer and Reeves were the ones who were listed as one of the 50 funniest acts in ‘The Observer’. A poll was initiated to locate the ‘Comedians' Comedian’ in 2005. They were voted as the 9th greatest comedy act of all time by fellow comedians and…

History as a closed, uncontested story is evident in The Night of The Shooting Stars, because it is told like a bed time story, which displays this magical realism. Throughout the film there is no protagonist, not many close ups, and the story is being told by the perspective of an eight year old girl. The history seems inaccurate which creates uncertainties because the event does not come from a single perspective. For example, the scene where the little girl is about to get killed by a solider…

There are many aspects to be considered when directing a show. No two shows are the same, so the challenges of directing will vary. This semester, both Shooting Star and A Chorus Line have been performed. This creates an interesting opportunity to compare the two shows and look at what challenges may be different when directing two very different styles. One is a play where as one is a musical. One was performed in the round on a small scale in TOTS and one was performed on a large scale in…

“No, I’ve got it. My car is out front too so I can drive him the motel you’re all staying at.” Maison looked up at Dean, even though they weren’t sure it was true. At that moment, everyone being together was far too much for Maison to deal with. One person at a time and normally that would be Rachel, but right now Castiel needed her more than Rachel did. “It’s the Shooting Star motel, about twenty miles back on the outskirts of town. We’ve got the rooms at the far end. Here, take our room and…

offering a peek into the human suffering with compelling themes of Horrors,, Bravery and humanity. 'Shooting Stars' by Carl Ann Duffy is a shocking and disturbing monologue. It is cleverly narrated through Duffy, as she adopts the persona of a suffering Jewish woman, that endured torture and untimely death at the hands of the Nazis. Duffy uses effective techniques to further our understanding of the poem. We are instantly shown of the horror inhumanity to man “After I no longer speak” Here…

sounds and screams it sounded like an older man. One of the soldiers, probably the one who was hit by the club, yelled, “Fire”. All I saw was smoke and all I heard were screams. I knew that at least three people were dead. After all the smoke had cleared out there was complete silence. There were five dead bodies on the ground. Some squirming and some still as a rock. The white snow was turning deep red. I was shocked and my ears were ringing so I couldn’t hear anything. Then I realized that I…

Pennsylvania, it happened, but it was much worse than bringing a gun to school. Matthew, a 16 year old student at that school, heard a boy repeating that he was going to start shooting people at the school. Then Matthew told the police what he knew and the police arrested three students that were going to shoot people at the school. But what if he didn't tell? There has been many mass shootings over the years and if Matthew wouldn’t have told, then Cedar Crest High School would of been just…

As of February 15th 2018 according to Sam Morris and The Guardian US interactive team there has been 1,624 mass shootings in the past 1,870 days. A mass shooting is defined by the FBI as a shooting in which 4 or more people were killed in the incident. With that being said it is clear through history that the number of mass killings has been going up at dramatic rates causing more and more conflict between communities. The question that has been asked time after time again is why are these…

The star outside your spaceship's windshield is a spectacular sight. HR 5171 A is a fireball 1,300 times larger than the Earth's sun. It's so big that if it were in our sun's position, it would swallow up Earth beneath its 10,000°F surface. To look at it from your spaceship, you have to wear special goggles--this star is almost a million times brighter than our sun. As you watch HR 5171A burn, you notice something strange. An object is peeking over the horizon, growing larger and larger. It's…

the 2015-16 NBA season, so now it’s time to look at the shooting guard position. Shooting guards are the most difficult players for me to project in fantasy basketball. It’s so hard during the preseason to get a firm grasp on who will be starting and who’s minutes may see a decrease this season. I do in fact have some great sleeper options, though. From Monta Ellis to Zach LaVine, there are are plethora of talented guys to anchor your fantasy rosters this season. So, here are my favorite…
