![]() ![]() In 1996, Wes Craven was handed a clever screenplay by newcomer Kevin Williamson (originally titled Scary Movie, ha ha) that asked a simple question: what if the protagonists of a horror movie were themselves connoisseurs of horror movies, and thus aware of what to do and not do? Scream raised the usual stakes - and made the audience experience exponentially more participatory - by explicitly stating the “rules that one must abide by in order to survive a horror movie,” and then tinkering with our expectations. Whedon and Goddard were far from the first filmmakers to examine the clichés of the genre within a comic construct. So we wanted to get behind the horror movie, and deconstruct it while at the same time celebrating how much fun they are.” And that’s the joy of the film (which he co-wrote with director Drew Goddard): it manages to simultaneously embrace, spoof, and analyze the tropes of the modern horror movie - and the bloodlust of cinema in general. “We also are very curious about what makes them tick. “We love horror movies,” Joss Whedon explained at this year’s SXSW festival, where Cabin made its long-awaited premiere. After the jump, some thoughts on Cabin and nine more of our favorite self-aware motion pictures. You see, Cabin is the latest example of our old friend the “meta-movie,” the films in which the act of moviemaking (and movie-watching) is part of the experience, and part of the narrative. The Cabin in the Woods, the wickedly funny and winkingly knowing horror/comedy from director Drew Goddard and co-writer Joss Whedon, hits DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow, after a long-delayed theatrical run last spring that sent cinephiles spinning with pleasure. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() The Ottawa Ankle and Foot Rules should be used to help determine whether radiography is needed when evaluating patients with suspected fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal.Įarly surgical management of a Jones fracture allows for an earlier return to activity than nonsurgical management and should be strongly considered for athletes or other highly active persons. Nondisplaced or minimally displaced (less than 3 mm) fractures of the second to fifth metatarsal shafts with less than 10° of angulation can be treated conservatively with a short leg walking boot, cast shoe, or elastic bandage, with progressive weight bearing as tolerated. The use of musculoskeletal ultrasonography may be considered to diagnose subtle metatarsal fractures. Lesser toe fractures can be treated with buddy taping and a rigid-sole shoe for four to six weeks. Great toe fractures are treated with a short leg walking boot or cast with toe plate for two to three weeks, then a rigid-sole shoe for an additional three to four weeks. A Jones fracture has a higher risk of nonunion and requires at least six to eight weeks in a short leg non–weight-bearing cast healing time can be as long as 10 to 12 weeks. A fifth metatarsal tuberosity avulsion fracture can be treated acutely with a compressive dressing, then the patient can be transitioned to a short leg walking boot for two weeks, with progressive mobility as tolerated after initial immobilization. Proximal fifth metatarsal fractures have different treatments depending on the location of the fracture. Metatarsal shaft fractures are initially treated with a posterior splint and avoidance of weight-bearing activities subsequent treatment consists of a short leg walking cast or boot for four to six weeks. Management is determined by the location of the fracture and its effect on balance and weight bearing. Diagnosis requires radiographic evaluation, although emerging evidence demonstrates that ultrasonography may be just as accurate. Patients typically present with varying signs and symptoms, the most common being pain and trouble with ambulation. They most often involve the metatarsals and toes. Foot fractures are among the most common foot injuries evaluated by primary care physicians. ![]() ![]() Both these are great when you want a customized media consumption experience. ![]() There are different tabs for controlling audio playback and subtitle control as well.

If the dress code is “come as you are,” then wear what you would normally wear, but one level above your standard uniform. You don’t want to show anyone up, but it’s always better to be overdressed than to be underdressed. Once you know the details and have an idea of what others are going to be wearing, you can come in a level above them.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR THE THIRD JUDICIAL Updated: 2 weeks ago / Posted Jul 31, 2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Ironically, three of the five Dodgers Opening Day starters with a younger Opening Day age than Urías are or will soon be enshrined in the sacred Halls of Cooperstown (Drysdale and Kershaw) or have had their number retired (Drysdale and Valenzuela). And at age 26, he will become the sixth-youngest Opening Day starter for the Dodgers since the move. Urías joins beloved fellow left-hander Fernando Valenzuela as the only other Mexican-born pitcher in Dodger history to receive Opening Day honors, and only the eighth left-hander to do so since the team moved to LA in 1958. Five of the previous nine won at least one Cy Young Award in their careers – Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Fernando Valenzuela, Orel Hershiser and Kershaw. Urías becomes the 10th Dodger pitcher to have a 20-win season and start the next season’s Opening Day. In 2021 he led the MLB with 20 wins and his 37 wins over the last two seasons lead the Majors. Urías finished the 2023 season with a 17-7 record and a National League best 2.16 ERA. Fans have been waiting for this day for a long time, and. Instead, the 15-year MLB and Dodgers veteran will probably miss significant time to begin the 2023 campaign. Writer Archive 0 1 minute read For the first time since the 2019 NLDS, the Dodgers are set to host a game at full capacity. It was pretty much a given that Kershaw would have made his record-extending 10th Opening Day start had he not landed on Injured List for chronic and recurring back and shoulder issues. Since joining the Dodgers in 2018, his 118 home runs rank fourth in the majors. However, over the last four seasons, they used left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu, right-hander Dustin May, future Hall of Fame left-hander Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler respectively to begin their season. 2021 stats: Pro: Muncy was one of the Dodgers most important hitters last year, a fact that became plainly obvious as they struggled in the postseason without him after he suffered an elbow injury on the last day of the regular season. Since 1958, the Dodgers have used a different Opening Day starter than the year before only three times. Being named the Dodgers 2023 Opening Day starter is a well-deserved honor for Julio Urías. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once you’ve made these tough decisions, you’re ready to set out there and likely instantly die.
