...A Characterized Comedy Greater Tuna is the first in a series of four comedic plays, each set in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas, the "third-smallest" town in the state. The play is a representation on small-town, southern life and personalities in the form of humor and satirical comedy. In Greater Tuna, the eccentric characters, both male and female, throughout the performance are played by two men. Through the effective use of spatial relationships, these two actors play the different zany and colorful characters that inhabit Tuna, Texas. These features of spatial relationships allow the characters to convey the underlying meaning surrounding the gossip that exists in small towns. The spatial relationships of area and the relationship to the audience in Greater Tuna show that the play represents the comedic bigotry and gossip that dwell in a small-town in the South. The ongoing gossip and intolerance that is portrayed throughout the play is symbolically represented by the areas used onstage. Before the play begins, it is apparent that the set is divided into three completely different settings. On the left was a set representing the Humane Society, in the middle the radio station OKKK aired, and on the right was the kitchen of the Bumiller’s house. During the play it is evident that each area conveys a message about the theme of small town gossip. Each of these three areas had distinct interactions and themes that took place there, yet all related back to the center of...

...Die Hard 4.0 Early bit of videogame (Gears of War, as reference later?). House blows up (still under credits). FBI Cyber Security Division, one of bodies hacked into during credits. John McLane, interrupts guy making out with his daughter, Lucy. She told the guy he was dead. [i.e. family dynamics, dysfunctional] She’s not talking to him. ‘You are such an asshole’. She isn’t using his surname. McLane asked to pick up one of hackers being sought for possible FBI breach. Matthew Farrell, who we saw earlier being contacted by one of those involved in the hacking (fits geeky stereotype in collectable figures, etc). Killers after him, just as McLane arrives. First real action sequence, although not large scale, mainly shooting. Explosion in computer – booby-trapped. Escape building. Into car, grabbed through window – action continues, stunts, etc, guys on car. But doesn’t turn into car chase to follow (as might expect). Followed by quiet reaction – of bad guys, of the two in the car. ‘Have you done stuff like that before’, asks M (intertextual ref, but also motivated). Seven dead hackers so far, none of whom were on the FBI list of suspects. (Hackers used without knowing what they were involved in.) 4th of July weekend (fitting DH holiday template). Music taste difference between M and J (old rock preference of J, Credence; marker of generational difference). M: news is completely manipulated, to keep you living in fear, so will go out and spend on things you...
