Calamari Union

Calamari Union (1995, FI) by Aki Kaurismäki Main Cast: Kari Väänänen; Pirkka-Pekka Petelius; Company: Villealfa Filmproduction OY A group of man, who are all named Frank, leave towards a better life in Eira. The tough trip starts in Kallio and takes a lot of lives. Scene: tobacco male adults cigarettes alcohol nontransgressive in company 0:34-0:36: tobacco/alcohol The Franks are together with a taxi driver in a bar. The taxi driver first offers them cigarettes and then drinks Clip: 60B (Addictions 1) Notes: PS: 070803: Episodic structure of the film displays different kinds of relationships between youngish adult men on their allegorical journey from Kallio, their childhood area to Eira, a dreamland where the rich live and opportunities are great. Must see the film again for a more detailed analysis of what they seek. Each episode is or includes a paraphrase of a well known movie scene, has lots of references to contemporary Finnish rock music and “underground” culture, and thus this is a film for buffs. Members of the gang die one by one, and the two who reach Eira are disappointed and steal a rowing boat to go the Estonia. The smoking scene now selected for ADDICTIONS 1-2-3-4-5 might imply some sort of male solidarity associated with smoking, especially the scene at the bar with Tuomari Nurmio. For interview vignette this is perhaps also too cryptic, and the same name Frank for all of them is confusing

Voluntary Dismissal of Time-Barred Claims

Both state and federal courts have procedural rules that allow a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss a claim without prejudice and then to refile it within the applicable statute-of-limitations period. However , a plaintiff’ s right to this procedural avenue is not absolute, and courts maintain broad discretion in deciding whether to dismiss a claim with or without prejudice. If a court allows a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss a time-barred claim without prejudice, the plaintiff may be able to refile the claim in a jurisdiction with a longer statute of limitations. As a result, the defendant loses the ability to assert a statute-of-limitations defense in subsequent litigation. Courts disagree about whether the defendant’s loss of a statute- of-limitations defense constitutes “clear legal prejudice” sufficient to bar voluntary dismissal without prejudice. This Note explores this disagreement. First, it examines the two ways courts currently decide motions for voluntary dismissal of time-barred claims. Next, it argues that both approaches overlook a fundamental factor: res judicata (claim preclusion). Specifically, courts do not consider that statute-of-limitations dismissals are not claim preclusive in every jurisdiction. To account for the differences in preclusion law, this Note proposes that, as a threshold inquiry, courts should determine what the claim-preclusive effect of a statute-of-limitations dismissal would be. Based on this determination, a court can decide whether the loss of a statute-of-limitations defense results in “clear legal prejudice” to the defendant and whether a dismissal without prejudice is warranted
