Key Concepts in Fitness routines
Why done it (narrative structure)
This refers to a narrative approach in mystery stories where the identity of the perpetrator and the act committed are revealed early on, shifting the focus from 'who done it' to 'why done it.' In 'The Sinner,' this structure allows the story to delve deeply into the psychological motivations and underlying circumstances that led to the crime, exploring human behavior rather than just solving a puzzle.
American idol 'vote for the worst' campaign
This concept describes a phenomenon where specific public figures, like Howard Stern, or websites, allegedly encouraged listeners to vote for the weakest contestants on American Idol, such as Sanjaya, rather than the most talented, potentially undermining the integrity of the competition results.
Salmon theory of voting
Introduced by the host, this analogy suggests that just as 'salmon swim in the same direction,' voters should unite to 'vote for the best' contestant, rather than engaging in 'vote for the worst' strategies, to ensure a deserving winner like Melinda Doolittle.
'i heart lobster' merchandise
This refers to the unexpected popularity of a homemade T-shirt featuring a lobster, which the show's team created and featured. It quickly garnered over 500 requests, leading to its availability on the show's website and becoming a new, unique piece of merchandise tied to their 'lobster mascot'.
Old school grindhouse filmmaking
As described by Kurt Russell for his movie *Grindhouse*, this concept refers to a filmmaking approach that intentionally avoids modern CGI, particularly for intense action sequences like car chases. Instead, it relies on practical stunts and real driving by actors, reminiscent of classic exploitation films and double features.
