In the process, the class will explore the literary, theatrical, religious, political, and cultural significance of comedy, both in general and in its Shakespearean form.
ENG-211 Weird Shakespeare3 credits
This course explores the Shakespeare nobody told you about, using some underexposed plays and poems studied on their own terms (rather than as anomalies or mere background for better known plays) and situated in their literary, theatrical, historical, and cultural contexts.
ENG-212 Introduction to Shakespeare3 credits
Through careful scrutiny of representative plays in several genres and from different periods in Shakespeare's career, this course will test popular perceptions of English literature's most overexposed figure by situating him in his literary, theatrical, historical, and cultural contexts.
ENG-213 Introduction to Arthurian Literature3 credits
This course surveys changing literary responses to the legend of King Arthur, from its misty historical origins in early medieval Britain, through the flowering of Arthurian romance in the High Middle Ages, to various post-Romantic re-imaginings of the Arthurian material. We will ask, among other things, why this material retained its tenacious hold on the Western European (and, later, the American) imagination, and especially how authors continued to find new uses for stories long separated from their originating cultural conditions.
ENG-218 World War I and Modern Literature3 credits
World War I, the most literary war in British history, altered the landscape of British literature. This course will examine the war poets' verse; soldiers' and nurses' autobiographies; Virginia Woolf's modernist novel Mrs. Dalloway; T. S. Eliot's poem "The Waste Land"; and Pat Barker's recent novel Regeneration, the fictional account of the relationship between military psychiatrist William Rivers and shell-shocked poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen.
ENG-219 Thief-making and Thief-taking: Nineteenth-century Crime Literature3 credits
The nineteenth century was immersed in defining criminality and, through the gradual professionalization of the police, constructing the criminal's nemesis, the detective. Through popular crime fiction, newspaper accounts of an actual criminal case, and articles from nineteenth-century periodicals, we will explore how the nineteenth-century fascination with crime and detectives was shaped by preoccupations with the construction of gender, class dynamics, and the tension between the didactic and entertainment functions of these literary forms.
ENG-225 Asia through its Movies3 credits
Students will analyze contemporary Asian cultures through movies from Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam, mainland China and the Indian subcontinent. Genres will include wu-xia, anime, sci-fi, musicals, yakuza narratives and "art house" movies.

This course will feature authors who violate literary forms and genres as methods of resistance and empowerment. Topics may include Arab nationalism, the Intifada, the Bangla Language Movement, the Cultural Revolution, and apartheid.
ENG-230 Literature of the American West3 credits
This course examines the American West as imagined and depicted by twentieth-century writers. How do individualism, racial difference, aridity, competition over natural resources, and environmentalism shape the way Americans imagine the West? How does the West in its conflicts, diversity, and complexity epitomize in a dramatic way what we imagine as deeply American? These are just some of the questions that we will attempt to answer through our reading of novels, short stories, poems and essays by American westerners.
ENG-231 Native American Fiction3 credits
This course will explore the last forty years of Native American and First Nations fiction. We will begin by examining the social climate of the late 1960s that surrounded the beginning of the literary period known as the Native American Renaissance. Our survey will then take us forward to the present as we explore the adaptation of indigenous story traditions and conventions into contemporary novel forms in fiction which is funny, tragic, and suspenseful.
ENG-232 The Literature of Slavery3 credits
This course focuses on the literary history of chattel slavery, particularly as it pertains to the United States, and on how slavery and its legacy have shaped--and functioned within--literary and cultural traditions. We will concentrate on the period of 1700-1861 in American literary history, and readings will include letters, poetry, fiction, and autobiographical narratives about the slavery experience, as well as various writings that both denounce and support the institution of slavery. As we will see, the literature of slavery and the issues it raises are both political and personal, both historical and contemporary.
ENG-233 The Literature of Immigrants3 credits
This course examines nonwestern immigrant experiences in North America and Britain through fiction, poetry, personal memoir, and letters. Topics may include generational conflicts, hyphenated identity, racial discrimination, and immigrant rights. We will study the emergence of immigrant activism and the effects of twentieth-century wars, foreign policies, and immigration laws on domestic civil rights movements.
ENG-235 Prose and Cons3 credits
Through careful examination of selected works of primarily American prison literature, this course investigates a vision of America from the bottom up, explores the American prison, and considers critically the possible meanings of imprisonment and punishment, discipline and freedom. Authors may include Malcom X, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Ken Lamberton, Agnes Smedley, and Richard Shelton.
ENG-236 Literature and Comedy3 credits
In this course we study the evolution and variety of comedy in literature, from classical Greece to contemporary United States. Along the way, we examine different comedic categories, such as the picaresque, absurdism, parody, satire, and black comedy. We examine the rhetoric of comedy: What makes a particular work funny? Why do we laugh? What are the motivations for comedy; when is it meant as "comic relief" from reality, and when is it meant as subversive critique of society?
ENG-237 Money in Literature3 credits
Sampling several centuries, countries, and literary genres, this course traces the love-hate relationship between literary art and financial calculation, a relationship which raises questions regarding what has value and what doesn't, what is real and what isn't, what humans in society owe to one another, and what purpose artistic endeavor is supposed to serve in a world where such endeavor rarely pays.
ENG-238 Old and New: Premodern Texts and Modern Responses3 credits
This course will pair influential premodern works with modern reworkings of them, as a way of thinking about how writers use the literature they inherit to stimulate new creation.
ENG-239 Visions of Environment3 credits

Full Title: Ghostie and Ghoulies and Long-Leggedy Beasties: the Supernatural in British Literature. By examining the specters that have haunted the last two hundred years of British fiction, this course will explore the applicability of the supernatural as a vehicle for expressing transgressions against cultural and literary conventions.

ENG-323 Postcolonial Studies3 credits
Prerequisites:200-level literature course (any version
An intensive foundational study of colonial and postcolonial African, Arab, Persian, South Asian, and Caribbean literatures from 1800s to present, with focus on anti-colonial movements and the idealism of nationhood, euphoria of independence, and the chaotic reality of failed or emergent nation-states.

ENG-324 Narratives Against Oppression3 credits
Prerequisites:200-level literature course (any version).
This course focuses on the social justice and human rights activism aspect of postcolonial studies. Students will examine how authors from around the world use literature to comment upon, protest, or record various forms of oppression.

Our primary purpose is to explore the means by which settlement and national identity were invented through language. Our texts feature a range of "literature," including transcribed Native American oral stories, colonial promotional tracts, sermons, speeches, captivity narratives, political pamphlets, personal letters, and slave narratives. The class will explore personal and cultural issues that concerned early Americans and discuss how texts both define and complicate some of the terms associated with the literature of this period, including "colonist," "Puritan," "Enlightenment," "liberty," and even "America" itself.
ENG-330 African American Literature3 credits
Prerequisites:200-level literature course (any version)
This course is a survey of the periods and movements of African American literature. Along the way, we seek to understand how African Americans have responded through literature to the oppressions of white America - slavery, segregation, violent and institutional racism - as well as how authors forge identity and create community through writing. We examine how these authors respond to their own literary tradition, how they shape form, style and genre in response to their historical context, and how they use writing as resistance, subversion, self-realization and celebration.
ENG-331 Gardens of American Literature3 credits
Prerequisites:200-level literature course (any version)
Vita Sackville-West once said, "The more one gardens, the more one learns." If this is the case, then a number of American authors must have been very wise individuals, since they were avid gardeners. In this course, we will consider the relationship between gardening, expression, and American literature. We will read a range of texts, including herbaria, records of natural phenomena, and "traditional" literature such as poetry and prose. We will also read scholarship devoted to literature and gardening. Authors may include Nathaniel Hawthorne, Susan Fenimore Cooper, Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, Celia Thaxter, and Alice Walker.
ENG-332 Adrienne Rich3 credits

This course pairs two literary giants of early 20th-century American modernism: Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner. Although they lived in the same period and were both enormously influential for later writers in the U.S. and beyond, Hemingway and Faulkner had strongly contrasting prose styles. Studying them together in this course allows readers to understand their common roots in the innovations of modernism and American culture as well as what made their respective innovations radically distinct.
ENG-334 Ecopoetics3 credits
Prerequisites:200-level literature course (any version)
This seminar will ask students to consider poets' experimentation with form in response to their understanding and experience of the natural world. How do poets express ecological ideas in poetry?

This course explores the literary movement that scholars have designated as crucial to the development of a truly "American" literature, focusing roughly on the years 1836 to 1865. In addition to studying canonical authors, students will explore those writers who worked, in the words of one critic, "beneath" the American renaissance, focusing on issues of concern to women, Native Americans, and African Americans. Authors will include Emerson, Frederick Douglass, Margaret Fuller, Hawthorne, Melville, Thoreau, Whitman, and Lydia Maria Child.
ENG-338 Postmodern Literature3 credits

In a heated two-day hearing, several members of an FDA advisory panel on medical devices expressed low confidence in power morcellation as a treatment for uterine fibroids, and focused on alternative methods for performing hysterectomies and fibroid removal.
There was no formal consensus on either an outright ban on power morcellators or issuance of a "black box" warning label.

More women would die from open surgery each year if the FDA decides to ban power morcellation, said Jubilee Brown, an associate professor at MD Anderson Cancer Center and a spokesperson of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists.
Sen. Tom Harkin introduced a bill that would set NIH on a path to recoup the purchasing power it has lost since 2003, and make funding biomedical research a national priority.
The bill is not an appropriations bill, and does not authorize spending any money. It would, however, raise the limits set in place for NIH by the 2011 Budget Control Act and sequestration, allowing Congress to appropriate $46.2 billion by 2021—a level near where NIH funding would be, had it kept pace with inflation.
The Department of Defense appropriations measure for the fiscal year 2015, approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee July 17, decreased overall funding for peer-reviewed cancer research programs by 4.5 percent.

The American Association of University Professors has authorized a formal investigation of MD Anderson Cancer Center, a move that could result in censure.
The investigation was triggered by refusal on the part of MD Anderson's administration to provide justification for denying tenure renewals to two faculty members.
The faculty members in question—Kapil Mehta and Zhengxin Wang—received unanimous votes in favor of renewal from the Faculty Senate Promotions & Tenure Committee, but the institution's president, Ronald DePinho, ultimately decided not to extend their tenure.
MD Anderson Cancer Center's uninterrupted seven-year stretch as the top cancer hospital in the U.S. News & World Report rankings has come to an end.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has broken the spell of being the perpetual runner-up and moved to the lead.
The result is as close as cancer care can come to a photo finish:
• MSKCC: 100 percent.
• MD Anderson: 99.9 percent.
A coalition of advocacy groups focused on colorectal cancer asked Congress to fix the loophole in Medicare coverage of colonoscopies.
The group, organized by Fight CRC and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, met July 16 to lobby for proposed legislation that would ensure cost is not a barrier to colon cancer screenings.

• MD Anderson: 99.9 percent.
NCI took another step toward adopting a new formula for determining the size of cancer center support grants, with the National Cancer Advisory Board accepting a report from a working group that has been working on the problem since the fall of 2012.
The schema proposed by the working group was accepted by the advisory board at its meeting June 23. It recommends broad organizing principles rather than specific numbers.
An article in the June 6 issue of The Cancer Letter described plenary presentations at ASCO 2014. One presentation was the adjuvant breast cancer clinical trial ALTTO in HER2-positive disease, which "was chosen [for the plenary session] because it addressed the reliability of pathological complete response as a surrogate for patient benefit."
As always, I both enjoyed and learned something interesting from Dr. Don Berry, one of the great biostatisticians of our era. I find, reading his analysis of ALTTO and NeoALTTO, much that I agree with. I am certainly no statistician, and must bow to his statistical analysis of ALTTO and NeoALTTO. And yet at the same time I think it misses the point. So I will beg to differ.

The American Association for Cancer Research ushered in the year 2000 with a round logo that combined the lamp of knowledge with a map of the Americas and an aspirational slogan in Latin.
The 26-year-old logo gave way to one that looked more corporate. However, AACR didn't stop at just one redesign. It changed the logo four more times.
The NIH has published a funding opportunity announcement for the Outstanding Investigator Award in any area of cancer research.

On Oct. 17, 2013, a surgical instrument called a power morcellator tore into the uterus of Amy Reed, an anesthesiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, pulverizing what were believed to be benign fibroids.
Reed's "minimally invasive" hysterectomy, a routine procedure, was performed at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.
Alas, Reed's uterus contained an occult sarcoma, which the morcellator proceeded to spread through her abdominal pelvic cavity. Over ensuing months, as Reed battled to stay alive, her husband, Hooman Noorchashm, a cardiothoracic surgeon and, at the time, a lecturer at Harvard, waged a national campaign to put an end to the practice of power morcellation.
The Cancer Letter asked David Challoner, emeritus vice president for health affairs at the University of Florida, to discuss FDA's 510(k) medical device clearance process.
The process has come under scrutiny after laparoscopic power morcellation procedures were found to spread previously undetected sarcomas inside benign fibroids.
Challoner chaired an Institute of Medicine committee tasked by FDA and Congress in 2009 to review the 510(k) approval process.
"We know that this improves patient care," Bertagnolli said in an interview with Matthew Bin Han Ong, a reporter with The Cancer Letter. "In a case such as this one, close communication between the oncology and general gynecology communities is a key requirement for reducing morbidity and deaths due to uterine sarcomas."
Question: What's more expensive than proton beam radiation therapy?
Answer: Carbon ion radiation therapy.
With CIRT centers costing about $300 million to construct—about twice as much as proton beam centers—the potential adoption of this technology threatens to further inflate health spending worldwide.

Some of the questions that landed the AstraZeneca drug Olaparib (lynparza) before the FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee were classic:
• How much progression-free survival is enough?
• Can you make use of post-hoc analysis to identify a cohort in which the drug appears to be most effective?
Two big questions in their own right, but in the case of Olaparib, these questions were even more important because of the setting. Olaparib is intended as maintenance for relapsed ovarian cancer, where the standard of care is no cancer drugs at all.
NCI has received some relief from sequestration, and the budget cuts will be adjusted proportionally, Director Harold Varmus said at the joint meeting of the National Cancer Advisory Board and the Board of Scientific Advisors June 23.
"The FY 14 budget is not very dissimilar from last year's budget," Varmus said. "We had relief from sequestration. We have correspondingly reduced the level of cuts we have imposed on both competitive and non-competitive awards. We expect to be awarding roughly the same number of RPGs, research project grants, as we did in FY 13."

SWOG earlier this week started to accrue patients to Lung-MAP, a clinical trial for second-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
The trial, also called Lung Cancer Master Protocol or SWOG S1400, uses the patients' tumor characteristics to select one of five targeted therapies, comparing them with active control in each arm.
Lung-MAP is funded by a public-private partnership, which combines NCI's limited funds with those of commercial sponsors, pointing to a new way of pooling resources to conduct faster, more efficient registration trials.
The Cancer Letter asked David Wholley, director of research partnerships for the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, to explain the novel scientific and administrative structure of Lung-MAP."For the first five drugs that are going into the trial, NCI is putting in about $24 million, and companies are putting in about $55 million. This would cover the costs for all of the drugs to complete testing through phase III," he said.

Many people love the 340B Drug Pricing Program.
Hospitals, clinics and cancer centers rely on it to buy drugs at discounts as deep as 50 percent—and then collect reimbursements that don't reflect the discount.
Many others hate 340B, arguing that the federal program gives qualified providers an unfair advantage, and making it even more difficult for office-based oncology practices to survive.

The students in District 158 are going high-tech.
You may have seen or heard some of the kids at the bus stop, or at after-school activities, talking about their new tablets or even playing with them.
This week, the district rolled out its 1:1 Learning Tablet Program at Hannah Martin Elementary School. As part of the program, the students at the Reed Road campus' Hannah Martin — which is made up of third, fourth and fifth graders, got their own Kuno Tablet computer.
The district purchased the tablets rather than textbooks for the school, and is loaning them to students for the entire year as part of its expanding all-digital reading program.
The district is starting the program at Martin, and plans to expand the tablet program to its other elementary schools in the coming years.
The students work with the tablets in school, and then they take them home every night. They will have assignments from their teachers on their tablets, books to read and more.
Before the kids could take them home, parents had to go to an orientation session at Martin, too.
Are you wondering how this all will work? Martin officials answer questions, including what to do if a student loses or damages a tablet, here.

|germ (dʒɜːm)
|a microorganism, esp one that produces disease in animals or plants
|(often plural) the rudimentary or initial form of something: the germs of revolution
|a simple structure, such as a fertilized egg, that is capable of developing into a complete organism
|[C17: from French germe, from Latin germen sprig, bud, sprout, seed]
germ (jûrm)
A small mass of protoplasm or cells from which a new organism or one of its parts may develop.
A microorganism, especially a pathogen.
|germ (jûrm) Pronunciation Key
A microscopic organism or agent, especially one that is pathogenic, such as a bacterium or virus.
Our Living Language : The terms germ and microbe have been used to refer to invisible agents of disease since the nineteenth century, when scientists introduced the germ theory of disease, the idea that infections and contagious diseases are caused by microorganisms. Microbe, a shortening and alteration of microorganism, comes from the Greek prefix mikro-, "small," and the word bios, "life." Scientists no longer use the terms germ and microbe very much. Today they can usually identify the specific agents of disease, such as individual species of bacteria or viruses. To refer generally to agents of disease, they use the term pathogen, from the Greek pathos, "suffering," and the suffix -gen, "producer." They use microorganism to refer to any unicellular organism, whether disease-causing or not.

Question: None of my rules grabs attched files from incomming messages and saves them to disk? Any idea on what could be wrong?
Question: Is it possible to set up a rule on Attachments Processor for Outlook to replace all mailbox attachments with links that are attached to messages which are say one year old or more? This would be very useful in being able to have direct & ready access to recent files attached to emails whilst still being able to access older email attachments by clicking on the links?
Answer: Yes, it is possible. If you'd like to process attachments in outlook messages based on receiving date - you could involve regular Outlook Search Folders feature into this process: since AP supports working with the Search folders, you can configure filtering by date in that search folder, and after that, specify in the AP rule only that folder - so AP will only process messages which are filtered into that "folder" (you most probably know that in "Search Folders", messages are merely displayed - but they are kept in their "original" Outlook folders).
Question: We are in the process of migrating our in house email to a hosted platform. We have used the attachments processor inconsistently for the past several years and we now need to recover the attachments that have been removed from email back into the information store prior to migrating the email. What do I need to do to the attachments processor to recover previously stripped attachments?
Answer: Please note some detail: shortcuts in your messages are attached .lnk files. If you save any of those .lnk attachments to disk - you will be able to see in the Properties of that link (it looks like and is the regular Windows shortcut) the path to the file. So, you could perform further operations with your messages and detached files taking into account this information (i.e. that the shortcut is valid if the path to the file is valid in its properties). After moving detached files to the new directory, you can run the option "Update links" to update links to these files in the messages. This option is available in the menu "Tools" under the "General" tab of the Attachments Processor Options. And after correcting paths (if neccessary) - to restore your extracted files back to messages - use the option "Restore Attachments deleted by AP".

Smuckers Stars On Ice - Saturday, January 22nd on NBC, 3:30 p.m. eastern time.
I have not failed. Ive just found 10,000 ways that wont work. ~ Thomas A. Edison
Some of the cast members are going to be performing on the Today Show on Friday morning, the 21st. Just an FYI! It was posted on the SOI facebook page, have to look for it again.
I hope this isn't a one hour commercial like last year.
My local NBC channel has "paid advertising" for Saturday at 3:30-5p?? Is it still scheduled for Saturday?
^ It is still scheduled for 3:30pm - 4:30pm Eastern on my local TV listings (NBC).
A superstar ensemble of Olympic, World and National champions from around the world celebrate the 25th anniversary of America's most popular figure skating tour; Olympic medalists Evan Lysacek and Sasha Cohen are joined by stellar cast of skaters.
More information:
anyone else spot the errors in this press release?NEW YORK – January 20, 2011 – NBC Sports presents the "Smucker's Stars on Ice 25th Anniversary Tour," hosted by figure skating legend and Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton, this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET. "Smucker's Stars on Ice" has brought together a superstar ensemble of Olympic, World and National champions from all over the globe to celebrate its 25th season. The show is a part of the Pandora NBC Skating Series, produced by Disson Skating in conjunction with NBC.
Performing on the ice this Saturday are 2006 Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek, 2006 Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen, 2006 Olympic gold medalists Jamie Sale & David Pelletier, 2006 Olympic silver medalists Tanith Belbin & Ben Agosto, 2010 Olympic bronze medalist Joannie Rochette and four-time World champion Kurt Browning, among others.
A few too many 2006's?!?!
Can't skate but love to watch
Almost forgot it was on! Thank goodness I saw a notice on Facebook.
Charter member of the "We Always Believed in Ashley" Club and the "We Believe in Ricky" Club
Old, lonely, pathos-hungry, and extremely gullible
Oh damn, I thought it started at 3, not 2:30.
Did I miss Tanith & Ben?
This show is a shell of it's former self. The opening number choreography was brutally awful. Lots of fist-pumping, air guns and hand-clapping to the beat.
Well, Evan was exciting to watch as well as Sale and Pelletier - they really did some risky moves to Janet & Michael's Stop Pressuring Me.
Sasha, well kinda boring. That's all I've seen so far.
Ben really moves better that all the other guys...the rest are just doing the choreo...ben is hot
"awwww....shades of Janet Lynn" - Dick Button on anyone who makes more than one mistake in their program.
I enjoyed it. It may have been just snippets of this year's show, but it was so much better than all those "five seconds of a skater/three minutes of a singer" specials.
Charter member of the "We Always Believed in Ashley" Club and the "We Believe in Ricky" Club
Old, lonely, pathos-hungry, and extremely gullible
I enjoyed it . Definite improvement over the past years shows that showed more of prior shows than the one they were promoting. I always attend the SOI shows when they come to St Louis but they are not coming this year. I would have definitely bought tickets after what I saw today.
i LOVED it! this is what a skating TV show should look like. no live musicians, and a great cast. I was so nervous that it was going to be a look back show, but so happy it wasn't! i just wish it was longer! and bummer about some of the guys not getting show including Kurt, Todd, and Michael.
Thanks NBC for a great show! Can't wait for my show in St. Paul!

Slim, Modern fit like a jean but with a twill fabric. But they don't look a little off like some colored jeans look I had bought the first generation of these in green, fabric was unbelievably soft. These in a lighter color are not as soft, but are great anyway.

Most of us need some casual pants to wear with a sportcoat, or without. I got these on sale at a pretty good price and they were better than expected. i had looked around and couldn't find anything in stores, other than Dockers, which just didn't fit right. the fit on these is great!

About Me Trendy/Stylish Dresser
I purchased two pairs of this particular pant in the Cream and Light Grey Colors. I was hesitant at first to purchase this pant since I was not able to see in person what the pants felt and looked like, as well as not being able to try on. I was pleasantly surprised when my first order of pants were delivered, as well as when my second order was delivered.

Mark Hughes, Contributor
I write about films, especially superhero films, & Hollywood.
I have no idea what film the "meh" crowd of critics saw, but it must not have been The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, because their complaints have no relation to the masterful filmmaking displayed in this prequel adaptation to director Peter Jackson's blockbuster The Lord of the Rings franchise.
The Hobbit is a big, bold, beautiful triumph on every level, standing squarely on its own two feet rather than attempting to mimic the style and voice of its predecessors. It is easily one of the year's best films, and should be a sure nominee for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing (Film and Sound).
Inside The Numbers: Will 'The Hobbit' Make 'Lord Of The Rings' The Richest Film Franchise Of All Time?
I believe this newest movie is even better than The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and that's saying quite a lot, obviously. And contrary to many of the glaringly wrongheaded reviews and assertions I've heard from some critics, this film is in fact more accessible to mainstream "non-fanboy" audiences. It is faster paced, there is less lingering on nuances of backstory and world-building details (those things are present, but their telling is remarkably economical and seem to breeze past), the characters are easier to remember and distinguish, and it's a whole lot funnier. That's right, I said funnier, and I'll get to that shortly.
Visually, the film really sets itself apart from the previous trilogy. Just as the storytelling is more lighthearted and brisk, so too is the imagery, filled with rich, bright colors and textures while settling into rhythms of wide shots to close-ups, sweeping back and forth, and lots of swooping in and around complex sets and scenery.
The Lord of the Rings, while often reflecting Jackson's preference for approaching scenes from different angles and perspectives, still also utilized a lot of "epic" filmmaking choices for setting up shots and sequencing for a lot of key action and establishing shots, and always maintained a certain awareness of its own ambition and history-making status.
But The Hobbit feels fearless and devoid of self-consciousness about expectations or anything other than excitement at telling its story, and at times almost seems to avoid any obvious choices or traditional perspectives in the approach to action and big reveals. Scene after scene, it's obvious Jackson decided what he thought would be an awesome way for the action to proceed and to look, and then just figured out how to make that happen, no matter how crazy or complicated it might be.
One major aspect of the visual style of this film is the much-debated 48 frames per second. I've heard some reviewers claim it looks like a cheap BBC televised production, but that's utter nonsense. It looked glorious, a level of detail and clarity that enhanced the colors and texture and movements of every scene. It's akin to the difference between watching a DVD on a regular television, and a Blu-ray on a flat screen HDTV.
When the movie begins, for a couple of minutes the difference in fluidity of movement, the precision of details and depth, is striking. But very quickly your eyes adapt, and the effect is breathtaking.
A big advantage to the new frame rate is that action scenes, even very fast paced sequences full of quick edits and (in one scene) literally hundreds of characters going in every direction, are never hard to follow or blurred by movement. It's so crisp and clear that you can take it all in and understand what's going on despite the scale of some of these sequences. Likewise, this means the 3D effect never lacks clarity or blurs from movement, and the result is a 3D depth into the scenery that is perfect throughout. A moment to comment on that — The Hobbit is one of those films that uses 3D to create a sense of space and weight to scenes, delving into the screen rather than just trying to project items out at the audience.
The Hobbit relies on a lot of CGI, and this too benefits from the 48 fps, adding to the film's unique visual style. The finest moments of these effects come in three particular sequences: the trolls, the goblins, and the inevitable appearance of Gollum. The most lavish of these involves the goblins and their underground lair teeming with hundreds of the creatures in a complicated labyrinth full of so much detail you could watch it several times and keep finding something new happening in some corner in the background. It is a gorgeous spectacle and Jackson here demonstrates his most elaborate choices for shots and action.
But it is Gollum who truly defines the brilliance of the CGI advances on display in the movie. However great you thought Gollum was previously — and he was indeed — you will be in awe of him here. Andy Serkis needs an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, it's time for the Academy to cross that nominating threshold and this is the performance to do it. Every CGI character in the film is fully articulated, including flawless mouth movements and lip-syncing that is completely naturalistic. Gollum, however, is in a league all by himself, as real as he could be, the true test of which is that rather than marvel at how realistic he looks and acts and moves, you will simply forget you're watching CGI.

This Review reviewing reviews gets 2 stars – for not just being it's own review of the film
Finally a sane reviewer. I had almost given up on you guys:)
Btw Radagast was awesome. Personally, I`d watch a two hour movie just with him:)
Great review. I came here because of what you said about The Dark Knight Rises. I trust you to paint an accurate picture for us without that bandwagon garbage. You did not disappoint, I am taking myself to see The Hobbit for my birthday.
Well, very much looking forward to seeing it on Saturday. Although, I must say that I thought the Fellowship was the best of the first three.
My critique there comes mainly from my love of Tolkein's work which, in general, Jackson did a beautiful job bringing to the screen. In some ways, the Fellowship even managed to improve on Tolkein's story-telling. I may be the only person who would have liked to see Bombadil, but I'm not the only person who loved the way Jackson had Boromir portrayed- he took the hints of temptation that Tolkein had left, and expanded them, ever so subtley, to more fully develop his character. The Fellowship was the best of that trilogy, and one of my favorites of all time.
Brilliant review, it perfectly addressed the unusually strong negativity yet, unlike every other review I've read on The Hobbit, actually analysed the film. Every critic that bashes it goes on about the HFR and critiques the film in less than a paragraph. After reading your review I trust that I will find this film amazing and my concerns have been alleviated. Nice job.
I love this review! I really appreciate you giving your objective opinion as well as calling out some of the BS complaints flying around. In my opinion, a lot of it has to do with the fact that some people just can't wrap their mind around turning one book into three movies. This is especially true if people keep saying that the book isn't very long to begin with. I think that's where the initial "it's too long" stuff comes from. How else can anyone justify the lengths of the LOTR movies and not The Hobbit's?
Since some deem The Hobbit's length unnecessary, I think it taints their overall view of the film when it shouldn't. Not to mention the fact that it's just part one. I remember seeing mixed reviews of Fellowship drastically changing by the time Return of the King came out. I'll be interested to see if the same thing happens with The Hobbit.
I for one cannot wait for the 96fps, 4D, eight hour Unfinished Tales, Part 1. Bring. It. On.

New Hope Counseling Center's Rummage Mania was a tremendous success. The outpouring from this community was absolutely incredible. The items and clothing blessed dozens of families who might not otherwise have been able to obtain needed items and even Christmas gifts for their children.
Many of our shoppers expressed their appreciation. One lady recently had a fire in her home was able to find some things she needed. This effort is making a huge difference. What a blessing to have just a small part in reaching out to those in need.
Over $3,200 was received in financial donations. The remaining shoes and clothing were donated to C.R.O.S.S. Ministries, located in Osceola. This Christian Ministry offers supplies and services to those in need, sending medical equipment and supplies to Romania and other countries. The miscellaneous items were taken to a consignment auction and will add to the financial blessing for New Hope. So everything donated was a blessing all the way around.
An event like this takes lots of planning and help to make it happen. It's difficult to express our feelings of appreciation to so many people who made it happen. We are blessed to live in a community where people see a need and step up to help.

Posted: Thu Aug 5 2010
Despite the fact that there's no proper run, Prospect Park's lax off-leash policy (furballs can roam free in Long Meadow, the Nethermead and the Peninsula from 5am to 9am and again from 9pm to 1am daily) makes it a prime place to catch mutts in their most natural state. At Long Meadow, delight as hounds splash around in the six-foot deep water at Dog Beach and swim in the more-tranquil lake of Peninsula.
