Scoop is a 1938 novel by the English writer Evelyn Waugh, a satire of sensationalist journalism and foreign correspondents.
William Boot, a young man who lives in genteel poverty far from the iniquities of London, is contributor of nature notes to Lord Copper's Daily Beast, a national daily newspaper. He is dragooned into becoming a foreign correspondent when the editors mistake him for a fashionable novelist, a remote cousin, John Courtney Boot. He is sent to the fictional East African state of Ishmaelia to report the crisis there. Lord Copper believes it 'a very promising little war' and proposes 'to give it fullest publicity.' There, despite his total ineptitude, he accidentally manages to get the "scoop" of the title. When he returns, however, credit is diverted to the other Boot, and he is left to return to his bucolic pursuits, much to his relief.
The novel is partly based on Waugh's own experience working for the Daily Mail, when he was sent to cover Benito Mussolini's expected invasion of Abyssinia—what was later known as the Second Italo-Abyssinian War (October 1935 to May 1936). When he got his own scoop on the invasion he telegraphed the story back in Latin for secrecy, but they discarded it. Waugh wrote up his travels more factually in Waugh in Abyssinia (1936), which complements Scoop.
Scoop is a 2006 American-British romantic comedy/murder mystery written and directed by Woody Allen and starring Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, Ian McShane and Allen himself. The film was released in the United States by Focus Features on July 28, 2006.
Following the memorial service for investigative reporter Joe Strombel (McShane), Strombel's spirit finds himself on the barge of death with several others, including a young woman who believes she was poisoned by her employer, Peter Lyman (Jackman). The woman tells Strombel she thinks Lyman, a handsome British aristocrat with political ambitions, may be the Tarot Card Killer, a notorious serial killer of prostitutes, and that he killed her when she stumbled onto his secret. The Tarot Card Killer left a card on each murder victim's body.
Sondra Pransky (Johansson) is a beautiful but awkward American journalism student on vacation in London. Pransky attends a performance given by magician Sid Waterman (Allen), aka "The Great Splendini", and agrees to participate on the stage. While in a booth known as The Dematerializer, Pransky encounters Strombel's ghost. The ghost has escaped the Grim Reaper himself to impart his suspicions of Lyman to a journalist who can investigate the story. Sondra decides to infiltrate Lyman's privileged world and find out if he truly is the dreaded criminal, enlisting Sid in the process and taking advantage of his powers of deception.
Cinema is the fourth solo album by Elaine Paige. The album was released in 1984 on Warner Music, peaking at #12 in the UK album charts. This album has been re-issued on CD. It was the second of Paige's recordings to be produced by Tony Visconti. To follow the theme of Stages, Paige chose tracks that had been previously recorded for soundtracks. Like Stages, the recording was primarily conducted at Visconti's Good Earth Studios, other than for "Sometimes" (Theme from Champions) which had been previously recorded at CTS Studios, London featuring the New World Philharmonia.
In 2014, Rhino UK released on the compilation album Elaine Paige - The Ultimate Collection the out-take "What A Feeling" (from the musical 'Flashdance') which was originally recorded as part of the 'Cinema' album sessions.
A movie theater (also called a cinema) is a venue, usually a building, that contains an auditorium for viewing movies (films) for entertainment. Most, but not all, movie theaters are commercial operations catering to the general public, who attend by purchasing a ticket. Some movie theaters, however, are operated by non-profit organizations or societies which charge members a membership fee to view films.
The movie is projected with a movie projector onto a large projection screen at the front of the auditorium while the dialogue, sounds and music are played through a number of wall-mounted speakers. Since the 1970s, subwoofers have been used for low-pitched sounds. In the 2010s, most movie theaters are equipped for digital cinema projection, removing the need to create and transport a physical film print on a heavy reel.
A great variety of films are shown at movie theaters, ranging from animated films for children, blockbusters for general audiences and documentaries for patrons who are interested in non-fiction topics. The smallest movie theaters have a single viewing room with a single screen. Most movie theaters have multiple screens. The largest theater complexes, which are called multiplexes, have up to 25 screens. The audience members typically sit on padded seats which in most theaters are set up on a sloped floor, with the highest part at the rear of the theater. Movie theaters typically sell soft drinks, popcorn and candy and some theaters also sell hot fast food. In some jurisdictions, movie theaters are licensed to sell alcoholic drinks.
Cinema is the sixteenth album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in 1986 through Vertigo Records.
All songs written and composed by Manny Charlton unless otherwise noted.
BBC Friday Rock Show 14.10.1984:
E questo faro,
che taglia le onde del mare di notte,
guarda chi pesca e non dice mai niente,
guarda chi pesca e non dice mai niente…
E questo faro che la notte gira, la luna mi spia,
divento parte di una litografia,
appesa su un muro, ora sono al sicuro,
c'?…
E resto solo, lo sguardo un po' basso,
guardo i miei piedi, le scarpe un po' vecchie di pioggia,
il mare vorrebbe toccarmi e sabbia bagnata sento tra i denti…
E come il tempo che mi fa invecchiare
non so cosa dire,
come la ruggine su di un motore
non lo fa partire,
e come il vento che gli alberi fa spogliare
tutto regolare,
come la pioggia se c'? il sole
e chi lo pu? spiegare…
Sono qui in piedi a due passi dal mare ed a tre dal piacere,
ti vedo sdraiata su un telo nel buio,
forse aspetti qualcuno o forse ? solo il destino…
mi avvicino la lingua tra i denti e i piedi tra la sabbia,
camminando calpesto un castello ma neanche mi accorgo,
e continuo da te…
(Non so che dire)
forse niente ? la cosa migliore,
e ad un tratto un diverso calore mi prende la mano,
mi sento un po' strano,
ma il pensiero mi piace e mi rende felice l'idea,
di veder la mia vita in un cinemascope,
ci ripenso e mi rende felice,
e lei forse ? l'attrice della mia vita in cinemascope…
E come il tempo che mi fa invecchiare
non so cosa dire,
come la ruggine su di un motore
non lo fa partire,
e come il vento che gli alberi fa spogliare
tutto regolare,
come la pioggia se c'? il sole
e chi lo pu? spiegare…
E poi ancora la luce del faro,
l'ombra sulla spiaggia,
la vita che cambia,
e poi ancora il faro che gira,
la litografia,
le scarpe un po' vecchie di pioggia,
il telo nel buio,
la lingua tra i denti,
il castello di sabbia tra i piedi,
la barca che pesca e non dice mai niente,
la barca che pesca e non dice mai niente…
E l'idea,
di veder la mia vita in un cinemascope,
ci ripenso e mi rende felice,
e lei forse ? l'attrice della mia vita in cinemascope…
E come il tempo che mi fa invecchiare
non so cosa dire,
come la ruggine su di un motore
non lo fa partire,
e come il vento che gli alberi fa spogliare
tutto regolare,
come la pioggia se c'? il sole
