  • Class Assignment

    yeah ignore this im probalygonna delte it my computer is oging CRAZY and i just typed this for blaw and now it won't save OR PRINT so i have to post it here and restart and hope i can get to this ha or else idk okay laterz 

     

     

     

     

    Brief Case 3-3

    PARKER v. THENTIETH CENTURY-FOX CORP.

     

     

    FACTS

    Shirley MacLaine Parker, the plaintiff, signed a contract to be paid $750,000 to star in a musical movie called “Bloomer Girl” to be filmed in Los Angeles, California.  The defendant, Twentieth Century-Fox Corp., the producer of “Bloomer Girl” decided not to film the movie and wanted to use Parker as the lead in a different movie, “Big Country,” which was not a musical.  It was a western drama to be filmed in Australia.  The producer was willing to use Parker as the lead with 31 out of 34 of the same provisions as “Bloomer Girl.”  Parker had 1 week to accept which she did not do. 

     

    Since the plaintiff never responded and never starred in either of the movies she was never paid.  However, she appealed for the money and under Code of Civil Procedure section 437c, she was granted the $750,000 plus interest because she was prepared to star in the movie and the replacement movie was not an equal replacement for the original movie.

     

    ISSUES

    Can the defendant cancel a written contract by trying to ask the plaintiff to star in another movie under almost the same provisions?

     

    Not unless the new movie is very similar to the original movie which it was not.

     

    REASONS

    The court felt that the replacement movie was not of equal value of the original movie.  The new movie “Big Country” took place in Australia, and was a western drama.  There was no dancing, music, or singing at all in the movie.  The original movie “Bloomer Girl” required a lot of dancing and singing from the plaintiff.  These were her talents that she was known for.  This created the new job to become inferior employment.  This reasoning was found in the Code of Civil Procedures section 437c.  Therefore, the defendant had to pay the plaintiff anyway.

  • Happy Summer!

    so I used to be really good and update ALLLL THE TIME now im all lazy and i'm like i'll do it later..........hahaha

    Well actually I started to update like a week or so ago but then I was like man I have the most BORING LIFE EVER and hit the x and never finished lol. 

    So let's see whats been up since uh new years haha.  Well I put a bunch of pictures up so you know what I've sorta been up to haha.  School happenned RA36 occurred that was awesome minus on saturday we had this HUGE DUST STORM yeah welcome to Lubbock BA lol that was crazy.  My friend thought she was gonna blow away "Wizard of Oz" Style in the adoration chapel.  That's kinda crazy...so you ppl that don't get out much I can now say that 90% of what is on TV is REAL.  The Wizard of Oz and like tornados and wind and dust storms REALLY DO HAPPEN.  I can also say that by going to school in West Texas I have a better appreciation of Country Music.  Every now and then I find myself listening to it and i'm like haha weird.  Idk it's weird I used to listen to some of it here and there but yeah idk it's different now i guess.  I have also learned how to 2-step that is actually kinda fun :)

    So that was Februaryish whatever so in March it was my 21st bday over Spring Break my mom and I traveled to Shreveport,LA and went to the casinos that was fun.  I didn't really win or los much so it was okay it was fun to try it out though :) I still want to go to Las Vegas though.  Maybe my cousin who goes to school/lives out there will get married soon lol

    I came home for easter yeah nothing too exciting.  My sister moved out into some apt over spring break but she jus moved back home like last weekend her room mate who has NO JOB kicked her out uh yeah this should be interesting for her.  She says shes going to declare bankruptcy (her ex rm that is) whatever.  She has 2 cats they are so cute.  We go Kitty and Baby shaved yesterday they look so funny lol They were mad at us but they finally got over it and came out last night.  My sister got in some carreck on Saturday so that leaves me carless bc i have no job ugh it's annoying thats what shes doing now shes calling insurance ppl haha

    So it's now summer and i have my tutoring job i've been getting about 9 hours or so a week I've been tryin g to float in the afternoonish but yeah i like it idk if i'm gonna get a real job for the summer.  If I do I really can't until like June 16th or something because June 10-14th idk whatever that Thursday is.  I volunteered to do Mission Possible which is this week of Community Service that we do througout Dallas.  It's been going on for like 10+ years.  I've been wanting to do it for like 4 years.  I tried to do it the summer after my senior year of high school but the stupid lady never submitted the forms.  Then the summer after freshman and sophomore year of college I was doing summer school.  This is my first summer I don't have to go to summer school well I'm not going b/c I'd have to go to summer school at tech and take like 2-4 classes with money I don't have like $2000 b/c i don't get financial aide for the summer.  That was uh too much classes so I'm just going to graduate in December 2008 instead of May 2008.  I will somehow manage. yeah so speaking of that so for like 2 days I thought about changing my major but then I found out that i can just take the 12 classes i need to graduate and then I can do the new major in grad school.  I've been researching and I think UTA (University of Texas at Arlington) has the best program.  So if your curious I was tutoring one night and I was like ha i'm such a nerd this problem is fun and my mom was sitting there and she was like you should become a math teacher.  and i was like no?!!? yeah idk so out of curiousity i started looking the stuff up to switch majors i need like 25 more classes b4 graduation.  And I really can't take a bunch of them till the spring b/c i haven't been admitted into the school.  But like at UTA the program is like 36 hours and I would just have to take like 12 or 24 hours in related coursework so like 2 years and then I'd have a masters in education.  And at UTA i can just do math the other schools it's math and science because i was looking at the 4-8grade curriculum.  Yeah and steponme wants to do early childhood-4th grade and at one place you need like 14 hours of foreign language i was like wow thats a lot.

    Yeah okay well idk it's summer i'm home in rowlett/dallas/garland area till august probaly idk i think we're gonna go to chicago in July my moms going to some conference/workshop and she said I can go with her.  I think steponme might come with us too idk we'll see it should be fun i've always wanted to go to chicago. 

    okay this is enough for now i'll try and update more often but i'm not making you ppl any promises lol laterz

    LYLAS
