...Wassup Dude #1 - director Charles Stone, who also created the original ad - says, instead, that he's "Lost my home. Lookin' for a job." Wassup Dude #2, calling from a slightly inexplicable battlefield payphone, is "Still in Iraq. Watchin' my ass." Their uninsured buddy has an arm cast and neck brace and needs "money for painkillers." A four-eyed Dookie, still in front of the computer, is watching his stock portfolio tank; Intercom Guy, who shows up at the end of the first commercial with a six-pack of Budweiser, is clinging to the doorway in the teeth...

In that moment, Godard commits a cardinal sin of storytelling: he has made the viewer fall in love with a character beyond all reason, and, with just as little reason, rips her apart like...
...consumption of the period made it easier for students to engage in constantly changing fashion fads, and by doing so, one could openly express his allegiance to this elitist, collegiate culture. Collegiate manners and styles were clearly defined, as a November 12, 1925 Crimson article demonstrates: “Neck, drink, occasionally study and all will be well. Whatever you do, Freshmen, don’t be original. Be collegiate. Wear the right clothes at the right time.” Though mocking this new obsession with what it meant to be “collegiate...
