BANZAI – Ye Old Supermarket Trolley Jousting Tournament

The first shopping cart was introduced on June 4, 1937, the invention of Sylvan Goldman, owner of the Piggly-Wiggly supermarket chain in Oklahoma City,USA. With the assistance of Fred Young, a mechanic, Goldman constructed the first shopping cart, basing his design on a wooden folding chair.

They built it with a metal frame and added wheels and wire baskets, and advertised the invention as part of a new ‘No Basket Carrying Plan’.

The invention did not catch on immediately. Men found them effeminate; women found them suggestive of a baby carriage.
“I’ve pushed my last baby buggy,” offended women informed him. After hiring several male and female models to push his new invention around his store and demonstrate their utility, as well as greeters to explain their use, shopping carts became extremely popular and Goldman became a multimillionaire. Goldman continued to make modifications to his original design, and the basket size of the shopping cart increased as stores realized that their customers purchased more as its size increased. Today, many big-box stores and supermarkets have shopping carts for the convenience of the shoppers.

Created in 1995 as an M.A. project to re-categorise film genres. A guide to broaden film viewing, and explore themes as diverse as flared trousers and certain awesome flights of steps…

The Scrutineer offers this guide for a discerning audience. The Scrutineer doesn’t purport to be an academic or critic. The Scrutineer has an offbeat approach which can always, ultimately, be justified…

Ever stood in a video store staring blankly at 100’s of titles, brain whirring, too much choice? Never again with the Film Map for Scrutineers ~ whatever your mood, it will guide you to the films you need to see. From Star Wars to Badlands, Toy Story to Le Samourai, Towering Inferno to Vertigo, the worlds greatest films are listed, inter-linked, categorized, juxtaposed and double-billed to offer you hours of entertainment!

Two different ways to choose your film viewing: Follow one of nine lines that take you to the films that suit your mood or go to one of thirty-two stations that group films under unpredictable headings. Colour-coded titles under the headings suggest alternatives to those films that fall on the mood route line… Five minutes spent with the Film Map for Scrutineers before a visit to the video store will save you hours of indecision!
