The film focuses on the relationship between two people as they await the end of all life on Earth. Scientists and theologians alike have predicted that by the next morning at 4:44 a.m. Eastern Standard Time deadly solar and cosmic radiation will destroy the Earth's protective ozone layer, and along with it, all life on the planet. Mixed in throughout the film are news clips of various reporters, commentators and celebrities who contemplate what the end of the world will be like.
Cisco and Skye confine themselves to a loft in the city. Cisco is a successful middle-aged actor who just wants to spend his last hours with the woman he cares about, Skye. Skye is a young artist whose latest project, a large painting on the floor, serves as an outlet for her emotions.
Cisco and Skye notice how strangely calm the city is, aside from isolated reports of looting, protests and suicides. They occasionally break away from viewing the news to have sex, and, afterwards, Skye continues to work on her painting, always changing her clothes for each new layer of paint she adds.
Trousers (pants in North America) are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately (rather than with cloth extending across both legs as in robes, skirts, and dresses).
In the UK the word "pants" generally means underwear and not trousers.Shorts are similar to trousers, but with legs that come down only to around the area of the knee, higher or lower depending on the style of the garment. To distinguish them from shorts, trousers may be called "long trousers" in certain contexts such as school uniform, where tailored shorts may be called "short trousers", especially in the UK.
In most of the Western world, trousers have been worn since ancient times and throughout the Medieval period, becoming the most common form of lower-body clothing for adult males in the modern world, although shorts are also widely worn, and kilts and other garments may be worn in various regions and cultures. Breeches were worn instead of trousers in early modern Europe by some men in higher classes of society. Since the mid-20th century, trousers have increasingly been worn by women as well. Jeans, made of denim, are a form of trousers for casual wear, now widely worn all over the world by both sexes. Shorts are often preferred in hot weather or for some sports and also often by children and teenagers. Trousers are worn on the hips or waist and may be held up by their own fastenings, a belt or suspenders (braces). Leggings are form-fitting trousers, of a clingy material, often knittedcotton and spandex (elastane).
Latter Days is the tenth and final novel in CanadiancartoonistDave Sim's Cerebuscomic book series. It is made up of issues #266-300 of Cerebus. It was collected as the 15th and 16th "phonebook" volumes, as Latter Days (#266-288, November 2003) and The Last Day (#289-300, June 2004).
The novel concludes Cerebus life, as Sim had long announced it would, and is generally considered the most difficult and problematic of the Cerebus novels.
Narrated by Cerebus from sometime later in his life, Latter Days is heavy in religious themes, and also features caricatures of the Three Stooges and Woody Allen.
Background
Sim had declared early on that Cerebus would chronicle the life leading up to death of its titular character. The Judge at the end of Church & State had foretold that Cerebus would "die alone, unmourned and unloved". The main Cerebus story came to an end with issue #200; the final 100 issues served as a dénouement, with Latter Days an "epilogue-to-the-epilogue".
At the end of Going Home, Cerebus comes to reject Jaka, the woman he has loved almost since the beginning of the series and with whom he has been travelling to his childhood home.
A video was released to coincide with the Record Store Day on 17 April 2010. The video predominately features the band rehearsals from the March/April shows and also shows some concert footage.
(Parody of Carefully Taught from South Pacific) PITTMAN You'll just have to learn, when up you are brought, There are people like you, and then those who are not, And if they're not like you, to treat them like snot, BLUMBERG You'll have to be duly untaught! PITTMAN If their skin looks much darker than yours ever will, Your com - pat - i - bil - i - ty index is nil, It seems fun to try and get to know them, but still, BLUMBERG You'll have to be duly untaught! PITTMAN You've just got to learn to ostracize, Those with epicanthic folds over their eyes, I mean it -- these aren't propaganda and lies -- BLUMBERG You'll have to be duly untaught! PITTMAN With people with noses of different length, Whose thigh muscles evolved for a different strength, God meant you to be on a different wavelength, BLUMBERG You'll have to be duly untaught! PITTMAN The way it was made, is there's some sort of hex, On people with joints made to differently flex, Whose skulls are a different cephalic index, BLUMBERG You'll have to be duly untaught! PITTMAN I distrusted tongues that were other than mine, Younger on than eleven, or ten, even nine, And now, to all Them, I'll deliver the line: You've just got to learn the 'right' way . BLUMBERG You'll have to be duly untaught! Their racist upbringing gets constantly worse, And they won't get along in this world so diverse, But I'll end, since this song's getting worse every verse, You'll have to be duly untaught!
They spent parts of three days on the job ... That was what we sang on October 5, her last day at Walmart ... I hear us singing, “Zion is calling me to a high place of praise ” in the car on the way home from her last day at work.
