Why Scott pilgrim failed

Scott Pilgrim failed beccause the amount of revenue that5 they made was very poor as it was only $47,651,508$47,651, and the budget of the film was 85- 90 million and  50 million after tax rebates so it did not even make its money back which meant it was a total failiar.

Inglorious basterds postmodern elements

Inglorious basterds has many postmodern elements , and it also has intextual refrences

Post-modern key terms

This post shows a list of key terms within post-modernism it shows and overview of post-modern films there is six main key points each one gives an example and why that relates to the point each. The six points are covered when talking about. The six key terms are:

• Pastiche
• Flattening of Affect
• Hyperreality
• Time Bending
• Altered States
• More Human than Human

Pastiche- "An imitation of a renowned artist's work consists of a number of motifs copied from authentic works combined into a new work in such a way as to give the impression of being a newly discovered original by that artist." It is basically something that copies an excising product and adds in new bit but as an audience we can tell where they got the idea from, it is usually a piss take of something else for example Austin powers  has elements of James bond.

Hyper-reality - As a relatively new school of painting, hyperrealism is a recognized outgrowth of the school of photorealism. Through convincing photographic imagery, hyperrealist painters routinely create a two-dimensional simulation of a three-dimensional reality: Hyper reality 

Taks 1 theorists

Postmodernisim as many therious that try to explain the topic, we have looke into many of theorists , and applied their thersous to excising product such Kick ass and inglorious basterds. The theorists that we have looked at are:

• Fiske
• Derida

Deridas was a french philoseher who said "a text can not belong to a genre, it cannot be without a genre every text participates in one or several genres, there is no genre text" read this quoate I  think what she is trying to say is that every text that excists has to to fit into a genre and that no text is does not have a genre I also think that this links to the hollywood grand narratives.

Levi- strauss, saw any text as constructed our of socially recognisable "debris" from other texts He saw that writers construct texts from other text by process of:

• Addiction 
• deletion 
• substitution 
• transposition  

From  what he said I think that what he is trying to say is that all texts are ideas from other people  but changing bits of other peoples work and modifying them. The way in which they construct texts using the above processes above, so what he is saying is that people add bit to a text and call their own and, they may also delete sections from a text.
