The Works is a UK-based retailer primarily dealing in discount books. In addition to books, The Works also sells arts and craft items, gifts, toys and games, stationery, and audiovisual goods. As of September 2011, The Works has over 300 branches across the UK.
Expansion and ownership
In 2007, The Works acquired 26 outlets of the Bargain Books and Bookworld chains after their parent company went into administration.
The Works itself entered administration in 2008 and was subsequently purchased by equity firm Endless.
Through its ownership by MGM, The Works is a sister network to This TV, a joint venture between MGM and Tribune Broadcasting which also focuses on films and classic television series from the 1950s to the 1990s and carries programming from The Works' corporate cousin MGM Television.
History
With little prior announcement of its formation in advance of its debut, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer launched The Works on April 1, 2014; the network debuted on nine television stations owned or operated by Titan Broadcast Management (though either NRJ TV or Ellis Communications), with an initial clearance rate of, at minimum, 31% of all television households in the United States. In addition to carrying The Works on its stations, Titan Broadcast Management also handles advertising sales for the network. To make room for the network, Titan ended its affiliations with the Retro Television Network on most of its stations, swapping out that network with The Works. The network was formally launched in January 2015, with 26 affiliate stations, covering 37% of the nation's television households.
A visionary, a master of his craft, an artist. Stanley Kubrick is my all time favorite director. For years I've rewatched his films MANY times and no films from any other director have affected me the same way Kubrick's have. Each and every film of his is an experience. Whether it be the spine tingling chills of 'The Shining' or the tear inducing laughs of 'Dr. Strangelove,' Kubrick's films always stick with the viewer. With this edition of 'The Works' I really wanted to channel what I feel makes Kubrick's films so special. So here you are, an extra long tribute that chronicles a lifetime of works from one of the greatest filmmakers who ever lived.
Stanley, no one will ever make films as timeless as your own.

The Works
This was a trailer for a movie titled "The Works", produced at New York Institute of Technology - Computer Graphics Laboratory, in Old Westbury, NY. While this movie was never realized, the efforts produced many advances in CGI. The NYIT Laboratory was at the vanguard of Computer Generated imagery in the 1970's - 1980's. Many Notable names in the Computer Graphics community at one time worked at this research facility. Dr. Alexander Schure, (President and Chancellor of NYIT) funded the goals of the Laboratory.

Queen - The Works Interviews (1984)
https://www.youtube.com/user/queenofficial
JONATHA'S NOTE: The corollary to "Little Bird" is this one!! Woody did have a devil at the wheel half the time. He had this unstoppable energy and drive. And of course there were costs. But everyone knows that feeling of being on the edge and wanting just to test the world. One more, one further, one harder. LYRICS: I'm still chasing cars Playing in the undertow Barking at the stars, wondering where you are It's better that I never know I still play with fire Hoping that I might get burned Toying with desire, Teasing to the wire Thinking that I'll never learn Some things I earn Most things I steal There's an angel on my shoulder But the devil's at the wheel I toe the line, but then I fall Cuz' heaven knows I like the taste of danger most of all Danger most of all Standing on a bridge Don't you know I want to jump Not that I would give my desire to live I just wanna try it once I just wanna know What it is to take the leap How the wind would blow, how fast I could go Who would pray my soul to keep Some things I earn Most things I steal There's an angel on my shoulder But the devil's at the wheel I toe the line, but then I fall Cuz' heaven knows I like the taste of danger most of all Danger most of all It all comes down to this There's a million souls out there Dying for a wish, living for a kiss Searching for someone to care On any given day You can hear their songs and cries Kneeling down to pray, Wishing they could say They had never compromised Some things I steal Most things I earn The angel's getting older But the devil never learns I toe the line, but then I fall Cuz' heaven knows I like the taste of danger most of all Danger most of all
