Bad Cinderella vs The Heist at the Ball.pptxmijilata
This powerpoint summarizes and compares the book The Heist at the Ball by J.M. Knight and the musical Bad Cinderella by Andrew Lloyd webber. version 1 since I will probably have to redo it later
Bad Cinderella is a 2021 musical that ran on Broadway for 12 months and abruptly shut down. ALW actually had a little controversy at the end because hd didn't show up to the last show and instead wrote a letter for the stars to read after taking their bows. The show received mostly bad reviews,
similar to The Heist at the Ball by J.M. Knight, which is a book very similar about a boy who wants to rob a castle and make money for his girl. It's also a cinderella story but instead of her being the main character it's her love interest. There was bad reception for this too. Thought it would be funny to compare.

thriller ever to take place on the streets of New York. The hero

her movie debut) is heartbreaking as the teen who falls in love
with him.

encountered the movie set by accident, he saw all of the
"police" and gave himself up to a bunch of uniformed extras!

casting director Robin Gurland came across X, who bore a
striking resemblance to Y. X played the role of Y’s body double

department in order to heighten the surprise of there being a
decoy when the film was released. The costumes were
specifically designed to hide any height and shape differences

taught professional carpentar to support his then-wife and two
small sons. He was then hired to build cabinets at the home of
director Y, who subsequently cast him in a pivotal supporting
role for his film American Graffiti (1973).

Francis Ford Coppola's film The Godfather was a success, he
hired X to expand his office and gave him small roles in his next
two films, The Conversation (1974) and Apocalypse Now (1979);
in the latter film he played a smarmy officer named “Y”. X and Y.

47. “A Farewell to Arms
By John Carlin
For those on the ramparts of the world's sole superpower, the digital winds are blowing an icy
chill through the triumphant glow of the post-Cold War.
People in Washington play lots of games, but none for higher stakes than The Day After. They
played a version of it in the depths of the Cold War, hoping the exercise would shake loose
some bright ideas for a US response to nuclear attack. They're playing it again today, but the
scenario has changed - now they're preparing for information war.
The Day After starts in a Defense Department briefing room. The teams are presented with a
series of hypothetical incidents, said to have occurred during the preceding 24 hours. Georgia's
telecom system has gone down. The signals on Amtrak's New York to Washington line have
failed, precipitating a head-on collision. Air traffic control at LAX has collapsed. A bomb has
exploded at an army base in Texas. And so forth.”
These are the opening paragraphs of the article ‘A farewell to arms’ published in May 1997.
Which movie was inspired from this article?
49. A- You are serious, you don't know! Every body knows, you don't go full retard.
B- What do you mean?
A- Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, Rainman, looked retarded, act retarded, not
retarded. Count toothpicks, cheat at cards. Autistic sure, not retarded. Then you
got Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump. Slow yes, retarded, maybe, braces on his legs.
But he charmed the pants off Nixon and he won a Ping-Pong competition. That
ain’t retarded. And he was a goddamn war hero. You know any retarded war
heroes? You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask
_____X_____, _Y_, ____Z_____. Remember? Went full retard. Went home empty
handed.
These dialogues appear in the movie ‘Tropic Thunder’. Z is another movie
starring X which came in the year Y. Give X and Z.
52. The 1932 MGM movie, Rasputin and the Empress, hinted that the
character Princess Natasha had been raped by Rasputin.
Princess Natasha's character was supposedly intended to
represent Princess Irina of Russia, and the real Princess Irina
sued MGM for libel.
After seeing the film twice, the jury agreed that the princess had
been defamed. Princess Irina and her husband Felix Youssoupoff
were reportedly awarded $127,373 in damages by the English
Court of Appeal in 1934 and $1 million in an out-of-court
settlement with MGM. What originated as a result of this to avoid
future court cases?

58. In the 1980s, while the west towers were under construction,
Washington National Cathedral held a decorative sculpture
competition for children. Word of the competition was spread
nationwide through National Geographic World Magazine.

Nebraska who submitted a drawing of this futuristic
representation of evil. The fierce head was sculpted by Jay Hall
Carpenter, carved by Patrick J. Plunkett, and placed high upon
the northwest tower of the Cathedral. The Cathedral boasts
what is probably the world's only sculpture of X on a religious
building.
60. The picture is that of “El Indio” Fernández, a famous Mexican actor,
screenwriter and director of the Cinema of Mexico. .He developed
his own style which had such an effect in the industry that his
portrayal of rural Mexico became a standard for the film industry
and also became the image of Mexico in the world.
Cedric Gibbons was introduced by his
then wife Dolores DelRio to El Indio.
Reluctant at first,
Fernández was finally convinced to
do some a special modeling
assignment that stands till now.
What did he do?
61. Emilio "El Indio" Fernández ,posed
nude to create what today is known
as the "Oscar".
63. Mark Allison who ran 874 miles in UK , one of
the many who have attempted running across

announced the name of the winner . This was really a
rare occurrence .The presenter was one of the most
famous actors of the last century .
Which film?
66. This is a 2007 science fiction film about a retiring University
Professor who claims to be a cro-magnon who has survived for
14,000 years. The entire film is set in the professor's house
during his farewell party, with the plot advancing through
intellectual arguments between Oldman and his fellow faculty
members.
The film was made on a budget of $200,000, and was screened
at many film festivals. However something related to the

thanking a particular community/group. What is unique?

finance the project on two conditions: that the film would be
transformed into a flamboyant, luxurious spectacle akin
to Hollywood's sword-and-sandal epics of the 1950s and 1960s,
and that extra sex and nudity would be added to the script in
order to promote Guccione's magazine.
Roger Ebert gave it a rare zero stars rating, calling it "sickening,
utterly worthless, shameful trash.“ It is one of only three films
Ebert ever walked out of ("two hours into its 170 minute length"),
the other two being Tru Loved and Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
70. The name “Amiya Productions” was based on names of
X and Y as production partners.
It came into existence when Z was in financial crisis and

credits though featured Pawan Kumar (X’s then
Secretary) & Sushila Kamath
(Hrishida’s Chief Assistant Director, assisted in Z too)
as producers.

77. The answer is “Tropic Thunder”, nominated in
the year 2009 for the best supporting actor
Robert Downey Jr. These are all different spoof-

and the products were released before the
movie released as a gimmick. When I mentioned
“simple”, I was referring to “Simple Jack”, one of
the common running spoof- movie themes inside
this movie.
78. The director of this movie has said that he was inspired by “The
Tale of the Dream Girl” episode of Nickelodeon’s television series
”Are You Afraid of the Dark” to make this movie. The production
script for the film was unusual; nearly all of the information usually
included in screenplays was absent. Because the writer intended to
direct the film himself, he omitted from the screenplay most of the
information that a screenwriter would normally convey to a director.
The left-handed B.W. learned to write with his right hand for the film,

wedding ring. ID the movie?

name is Sir Maurice Joseph Micklewhite Jr.
What is his screen name?
82. Danny Boyle pushed his “Solomon Grundy” project back because

Filmmakers worked closely with Levi’s to obtain clothing items
from their Levi’s Vintage Clothing collection to authenticate
various time periods captured throughout the film.
The second Hollywood feature film,
after Denzel Washington’s “Deja Vu” (2006), to film in New
Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Name the movie.
84. Lara Dutta was offered a role in X as well as its sequel, but
turned the part down because she didn't like the script.
The script for X (while in production) was code-named The
Burly Man. The Burly Man is the title of the script Barton
Fink is working on in the film Barton Fink (1991). While
shooting the freeway sequence, the directors watched
rushes etc. in a vehicle referred to by the crew as the Burly
Van.
87. The film was originally set to shoot in spring of 2008, but was
delayed due to Heath Ledger's death. The producers and
director delayed the film out of respect for Michelle Williams
(lead actress in the movie), Ledger's ex-girlfriend and mother of

author Anthony Burgess's invention, "Nadsat": a mix of English,

appendix was added to the second and subsequent editions.

as X.
