The Bada Bing's logo
Bada Bing!
is a
fictional
strip club
from the
HBO
drama
television series
The Sopranos
.
It was a key location for events in the series, named for
catchphrase
"bada bing", a phrase popularized by
James Caan's
character
Sonny Corleone
in
The Godfather
.

The popularization of the fictional club benefited the real-life go-go bar where scenes were filmed. The Bada Bing is loosely based on
Wiggles
, a strip club owned by
New Jersey
mobster
Vincent Palermo
before it was shut down.

Strippers at the Bada Bing were portrayed by extras including
Elektra
, Justine Noelle, Kelly Madison Kole, Luiza Liccini, Marie Athanasiou, Nadine Marcelletti, Rosie Ciavolino and Sonia Ortega. The "Bada Bing Girls" appeared in a photo spread in the
August 2001 issue

Jaws
is a 1975 American
thriller
film directed by
Steven Spielberg
and based on
Peter Benchley
's
1974 novel of the same name
. The prototypical summer
blockbuster
, its release is regarded as a watershed moment in motion picture history. In the story, a giant
man-eating
great white shark
attacks beachgoers on Amity Island, a fictional New England summer
resort town
, prompting the local police chief to hunt it with the help of a
marine biologist
and a professional shark hunter. The film stars
Roy Scheider
as police chief
Martin Brody
,
Richard Dreyfuss
as oceanographer Matt Hooper,
Robert Shaw
as shark hunter Quint,
Murray Hamilton
as Larry Vaughn, the mayor of Amity Island, and
Lorraine Gary
as Brody's wife, Ellen. The screenplay is credited to both Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor-writer
Carl Gottlieb
, who rewrote the script during
principal photography
.
Shot mostly on location on
Martha's Vineyard
in
Massachusetts
, the film had a troubled production, going over budget and past schedule. As the art department's mechanical sharks suffered many malfunctions, Spielberg decided to mostly suggest the animal's presence, employing an ominous, minimalistic theme created by composer
John Williams
to indicate the shark's impending appearances. Spielberg and others have compared this suggestive approach to that of classic thriller director
Alfred Hitchcock
.
Universal Pictures
gave the film what was then an exceptionally
wide release
for a
major studio
picture, over 450 screens, accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign with a heavy emphasis on television spots and tie-in merchandise.
Generally well received by critics,
Jaws
became the
highest-grossing film of all time
until
Star Wars
. It won several awards for its soundtrack and editing. Along with
Star Wars
,
Jaws
was pivotal in establishing the modern Hollywood business model, which revolves around high box-office returns from action and adventure pictures with simple "
high-concept
" premises that are released during the summer in thousands of theaters and supported by heavy advertising. It was followed by
three sequels
, none with the participation of Spielberg or Benchley, and many imitative thrillers. In 2001,
Jaws
was selected by the
Library of Congress
for preservation in the United States
National Film Registry
, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Cowboy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A classic image of the American cowboy, as portrayed by
C.M. Russell
A
cowboy
is an animal
herder
who tends
cattle
on
ranches
in
North America
, traditionally on horseback, and often performs a multitude of other ranch-related tasks. The historic American cowboy of the late 19th century arose from the
vaquero
traditions of northern
Mexico
and became a figure of special significance and legend.
[
1
]
A subtype, called a
wrangler
, specifically tends the
horses
used to work cattle. In addition to ranch work, some cowboys work for or participate in
rodeos
.
Cowgirls
, first defined as such in the late 19th century, had a less-well documented historical role, but in the modern world have established the ability to work at virtually identical tasks and obtained considerable respect for their achievements.
[

]
There are also cattle handlers in many other parts of the world, particularly
South America
and
Australia
, who perform work similar to the cowboy in their respective nations.
Development of the modern cowboy image
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans at the 61st Academy Awards
The traditions of the working cowboy were further etched into the minds of the general public with the development of
Wild West Shows
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which showcased and romanticized the life of both cowboys and
Native Americans
.
[
61
]
Beginning in the 1920s and continuing to the present day,
Western movies
popularized the cowboy lifestyle but also formed persistent
stereotypes
, both positive and negative. In some cases, the cowboy and the violent
gunslinger
are often associated with one another. On the other hand, some actors who portrayed cowboys promoted positive values, such as the "cowboy code" of
Gene Autry
, that encouraged honorable behavior, respect and patriotism.

Western (genre)
Buffalo Bill's wild west and congress of rough riders of the world - Circus poster showing cowboys rounding up cattle, c. 1899
As the frontier ended, the cowboy life came to be highly romanticized. Exhibitions such as those of
Buffalo Bill Cody
's Wild West Show helped to popularize the image of the cowboy as an idealized representative of the tradition of
chivalry
.
In today's society, there is little understanding of the daily realities of actual agricultural life. Cowboys are more often associated with (mostly fictitious) Indian-fighting than with their actual life of
ranch
work and cattle-tending. The cowboy is also portrayed as a masculine ideal via images ranging from the
Marlboro Man
to the
Village People
.
Actors such as
John Wayne
are thought of as exemplifying a cowboy ideal, even though
western movies
seldom bear much resemblance to real cowboy life. Arguably, the modern
rodeo
competitor is much closer to being an actual cowboy, as many were actually raised on ranches and around livestock, and the rest have needed to learn livestock-handling skills on the job.
However, in the United States and the Canadian West, as well as
Australia
,
guest ranches
offer people the opportunity to ride horses and get a taste of the western life—albeit in far greater comfort. Some ranches also offer vacationers the opportunity to actually perform cowboy tasks by participating in cattle drives or accompanying
wagon trains
. This type of
vacation
was popularized by the 1991 movie
City Slickers
,
starring
Billy Crystal
.
