Ice Age: Continental Drift is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated comedy adventure film produced by Blue Sky Studios. It was written by Jason Fuchs and Michael Berg, and directed by Steve Martino and Michael Thurmeier—the first film in the series not to be directed by Carlos Saldanha.[4]

They are joined by Keke Palmer who voices a teenaged Peaches, along with Nicki Minaj, Drake, Jennifer Lopez, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, Aziz Ansari, Nick Frost, Kunal Nayyar, Rebel Wilson, and Wanda Sykes.
The film is the fourth installment of the Ice Age series and the sequel to Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009). The plot focuses on Scrat sending Manny, Sid, and Diego adrift on an iceberg with Sid's Granny and causing them to face a gang of pirates led by Captain Gutt.
Ice Age: Continental Drift was released in the United States on July 13, 2012, by 20th Century Fox. This was the first Ice Age film to be presented in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio. The film grossed $877 million worldwide, marking it the highest-grossing animated film of 2012.
A sequel, titled Ice Age: Collision Course, was released on July 22, 2016.[5]

Plot[edit]
While Scrat inadvertently causes the break up of Pangaea, Manny and Ellie are forced to deal with the trials and tribulations of their teenage daughter Peaches, who has trouble fitting in with her peers. Ellie tries to support her daughter, but Manny becomes exceedingly over-protective. Meanwhile, Sid's family returns, but only long enough to drop off the elderly Granny before abandoning them both. Shortly after, a continental break-up separates Manny from The Herd. Trapped on a moving chunk of ice with Sid, Granny, and Diego, Manny has no choice but to ride out the current. Meanwhile, a giant land shift encroaches on Ellie, Peaches, and those remaining on land, causing them to make their way towards a land bridge.
Meanwhile, Scrat, in a subplot, finds an acorn that has a treasure map on it that directs him towards an island. After violent weather pushes them further away from land, Manny's group is captured by a band of pirates sailing on a floating iceberg led by a Gigantopithecus, Captain Gutt, who attempts to press them into his crew. When they refuse, Gutt tries to execute them, leading to their escape, which inadvertently cause the ship and food supplies to sink. Gutt's first mate, a female sabretooth named Shira, joins them after she is left for dead.
The Herd washes ashore on Switchback Cove, which gives a current back to their home. Manny coordinates a plan using a group of hyrax to steal a new iceberg ship that Gutt is planning to use, and they are able to escape using the ship, Shira staying with Gutt. Gutt forms another ship and plans to seek revenge on Manny.
After narrowly escaping a pack of sirens, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Granny return home only to find the land bridge destroyed and that Gutt has beaten them and taken Ellie, Peaches, and the rest of The Herd hostage. A fight issues, as Granny's pet whale, Precious, arrives and fends off Gutt's crew. Manny defeats Gutt in a final duel on an ice floe and reunites with his family and friends. Gutt subsequently encounters a siren that assumes the shape of a female Gigantopithecus, and is eaten alive. With their home destroyed, Precious takes the entire crew, including Shira to a lush island where the hyraxes from earlier have already started rebuilding their civilization.
In the film's epilogue, Scrat discovers the island on the map, known as Scratlantis (a parody of Atlantis), but his uncontrollable urge to hunt acorns in the acorn-rich city inadvertently causes the entire island to sink when he unplugs an acorn drain holder; Scrat is then ejected into a newly created desert landscape, through which he screams as his tears boil from the heat.

Featured in the film was "Chasing the Sun", performed by The Wanted[18] the film's first theme song, and the second theme song "We are (Family)" written by Ester Dean, performed by Keke Palmer.[19] Both songs play during the credits and are not available on the soundtrack. "Chasing The Sun" can be found on The Wanted's 2012 American debut extended play, The Wanted EP, while an alternate version of "We are (Family)" sung only by Keke Palmer is available for download.
In addition to the original score by John Powell, the film also features Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Powell explained his decision: "At the beginning of the film, the creation of the geographical world as we know it seemed just such an immense idea to musically convey, that I gave up entirely and used Beethoven's Ninth Symphony instead. With a bit of obscenely crass re-orchestration and blatantly cheap arranging tricks normally associated with strippers, we got it to fit the action perfectly. But the cost that I must now bear is having to live forever in hiding, since the "Beethoven Society" issued a "fatwa" on me."[20]
Release[edit]
Ice Age: Continental Drift had its premiere on June 20, 2012, at the CineEurope film distributors' trade fair in Barcelona.[21] It publicly premiered on June 27, 2012, in Belgium, Egypt, France, Switzerland, and Trinidad, and was released on July 13, 2012, in the USA.[22] The film is accompanied by the short animated film The Longest Daycare featuring Maggie Simpson.[23][24]
Marketing[edit]
As a promotion for Ice Age: Continental Drift, Fox released two 3-minute short segments from the film,[25] titled Scrat's Continental Crack-up and Scrat's Continental Crack-up: Part 2. The first part premiered as a theatrical release attached to Gulliver's Travels in 2010,[26] and it was released on-line on January 6, 2011, on iTunes Movie Trailers.[26] The second part was released on November 16, 2011, on iTunes,[27] and debuted in theatres with Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.[28] The first part shows how the Scrat's actions lead to split of the continents, while in the second part, Scrat's underwater pursuit of acorns leads him to a pirate ship.
The film was featured on Tommy Baldwin Racing's #10 car driven by Tomy Drissi for the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 held on June 24, 2012.[29]

Reception[edit]
Box office[edit]
Ice Age: Continental Drift earned $161,321,843 in North America, and $715,922,939 in other territories, for a worldwide total of $877,244,782.[3] Its worldwide opening weekend totaled $126.9 million.[30] Worldwide, it is the 47th-highest-grossing film of all time,[31] the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2012 (also, the highest-grossing animated film of that year),[32] and the second-highest-grossing film in the Ice Age series.[33] Overall, it is the eleventh-highest-grossing animated film of all time.
North America
In North America, the film earned $16.7 million on its opening day and $46.6 million on its opening weekend, which was the second-largest opening weekend in the Ice Age series, only behind The Meltdown ($68 million).[34] The film closed from theaters on February 7, 2013 with $161 million, thus standing as the lowest-grossing film in the series, until Ice Age: Collision Course would gross less than $100 million in 2016.[35]
Other territories
Outside North America, it is the twelfth-highest-grossing film, the third-highest-grossing 2012 film and the second-highest-grossing film distributed by Fox. It set an all-time record among animated films, until Disney's Frozen surpassed it.[36] Ice Age 4 had a two-day (Wednesday–Thursday) opening of $11 million from 12 markets.[37] On its opening weekend (through Sunday), it earned first place with $80.3 million from 34 markets, opening #1 in all of them.[38][39] The film set an opening-day record in Nicaragua and a Thursday-opening record in Guatemala. In Peru, it earned the second-highest-grossing opening day and the highest for an animated film. It also set opening-day records for an animated film in Russia[40] and in Sweden[41] and achieved the second-highest-grossing opening day for an animated film in France ($4.5 million), Colombia, Argentina, and Chile.[37] The film set opening-weekend records for any film in Argentina (first surpassed by Iron Man 3),[42] Colombia, Peru, Central America, and Chile, and opening-weekend records for an animated film in Norway, Sweden (surpassed by Frozen),[43] Ecuador, and Bolivia.[44] Its largest opening weekends were recorded in Russia and the CIS ($16.9 million), China ($15.7 million),[45] and France and the Maghreb region ($12.8 million).[46] It is the second-highest-grossing film in Latin America with at least $181 million, only behind Marvel's The Avengers.[47]
Critical response[edit]
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 37% of critics have given the film positive reviews, with a rating average of 5.1/10 based on 131 reviews. The consensus statement reads, "Ice Age: Continental Drift 3D has moments of charm and witty slapstick, but it often seems content to recycle ideas from the previous films."[48] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 49 based on 29 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews."[49] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A-" on an A+ to F scale.[50]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two stars out of four and stated: "Watching this film was a cheerless exercise for me. The characters are manic and idiotic, the dialogue is rat-a-tat chatter, the action is entirely at the service of the 3-D, and the movie depends on bright colors, lots of noise and a few songs in between the whiplash moments."[51] Megan Lehmann of The Hollywood Reporter said: "It's familiar, drawn-out shtick, and the humor lacks the subtlety of the first and best Ice Age, but there are some visually inventive high points."[52] Simon Brew, writing for Den of Geek, gave a very positive four-star review, saying that "not only is Ice Age 4 arguably the best in the franchise yet, it's also, a little surprisingly perhaps (given that it's a fourth movie in a franchise, turned around on a strict cycle), turned out to be thoroughly, thoroughly entertaining family blockbuster."[53]
Video games[edit]
Ice Age Village is a mobile video game, developed by Gameloft, and was released on April 5, 2012 to iPhone, iPad and various Android devices.[54][55]
Ice Age: Continental Drift – Arctic Games, a video game based on the film, developed by Behaviour Interactive, published by Activision and was released on July 10, 2012[56] for Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS, and Xbox 360.[57]

Content[edit]
The narrator is a man with charm and wit that can cool down any angry woman. He tends to go after women that have just been in fights with their significant other or have recently experienced a break up. He even heads over to his friend's place to "cool off" the friend's woman with "a little mouth to mouth."
Critical reception[edit]
Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B- grade," calling it "more cocky than clever" and that "the strained metaphor that gives structure to the song errs too far on the side of ridiculous." He goes on to say that the only reason the song is "listenable at all is the fantastic Western swing arrangement and Strait’s in-on-the-joke delivery."[2]

Plot summary[edit]
The episode starts with Vic Mackey meeting Ronnie Gardocki and telling him that Shane didn't show up to the drop off and that his wife Corinne was arrested. He also tells him (falsely) that ICE Agent Olivia Murray agreed to clear himself, Ronnie and Corinne once they arrest Beltran. They meet with Beltran and he agrees to meet with the black board of directors at the exchange. Meanwhile, Dutch Wagenbach tells Corinne about the deal Vic made for full immunity which causes her to panic. He assures her that they have an idea to keep her safe from Vic if he finds out what she did to him. Shane takes Mara and their son back to their house and they plan to leave the next day when the police are busy guarding the president.
Back at the barn, Claudette Wyms convinces Olivia to put Vic's family in federal protection to keep him away from them. Olivia is reluctant to do so, but is persuaded when Claudette tells her it would be a good way to get back at Vic. Vic goes to his house to tell Corinne that she is safe. Corinne and the kids start to leave immediately after Vic leaves. Shane shows up to surprise Steve Billings and asks him to deliver a message: Mara shot the woman in self-defense. He also tells him that he is willing to turn himself in and testify against Vic and Ronnie if they can guarantee immunity for Mara. He gives him an attorney's card and tells him to contact him. At the exchange, Beltran doesn't show up and sends his men instead. This angers the black board of directors. The deal is about to go sour, so ICE moves in and arrests everyone. Olivia tells Vic that he is no longer involved and should back off the Beltran case. He decides to go after him, nonetheless, to honor his deal and Ronnie backs him up.
Lloyd Denton shows up at the barn to report his mother Rita missing and Dutch believes he killed her. Lloyd says the last time he saw her was the night before and that she was upset about a fight she had with Dutch. He claims she left at 3 a.m. to go see Dutch at his house. Dutch tells Claudette about the mysterious hang up calls he got from Rita that made him go to her house the morning before. They believe Lloyd killed his mother and made those calls to implicate Dutch. Julien and Tina respond to a noise complaint which is a rally for Robert Huggins, a local man running for mayor who they end up arresting. Shane calls the attorney and finds out that Claudette is only willing to offer reduced charges for Mara. He then calls Vic for help. Vic refuses and tells him about the deal he cut with ICE. Shane responds by telling him that Corinne was working with the police against him because she didn't want him near their children. A skeptical Vic tells him that he'll check up on his children when he and Mara are in prison to tell them stories about what their parents did. A furious Shane hangs up. Olivia informs Vic that Corinne requested protection from him and that he would no longer be able to see his children.
Back at the barn, Claudette pulls Dutch off of the case after unis found burnt women's clothing in a trash container at his house. Robert Huggins makes bail and requests police protection since threats were made against him, but the request is ignored. Billing's attorney meets with Dutch and asks him to change his statement because it's not helpful to his case against the department. Shane buys flowers and a toy for Mara and Jackson. Vic and Ronnie get Santiago to give up the location of Beltran. Vic suspected he would know where it is since he and his gang the Biz Lats probably delivered the drugs instead of Beltran. He then calls Olivia to tell her the location but she refuses to help him. Huggins interrupts a rally for Aceveda and questions him as a mayoral candidate. Back at the barn, Billings is unable to get Lloyd to say anything and all the evidence points to Dutch. Dutch feels guilty for what he believes happened to Rita and asks for another shot at Lloyd. Claudette refuses and decides to interrogate him herself. She tells him she's convinced that Dutch may have had something to do with his mother's disappearance. Back at the rally, Huggins continues to insult Aceveda until he is escorted out of the building. Billing's attorney convinces Dutch to change his statement to keep Billings safe from the department's counter suit.
Shane goes back home and runs into a neighbor. He gives the presents he bought to his family. The neighbor calls the police and they go to his house. As soon as they enter, Shane kills himself with a revolver. They also find Mara and Jackson dead lying on the bed. There is a note next to Shane's body. Vic calls Aceveda and asks him for help in arresting Beltran. He agrees after realizing it would be a good PR move for him that could get him more voters. Vic and Ronnie head to Beltran's hideout and wait for ICE thinking that Aceveda would convince them to show up. However, they feel that Beltran is about to leave so they have to move in alone. They secure Beltran and his men and the ICE agents arrive. The drugs are found and Beltran is arrested. Back at the barn, Billings thanks Dutch for changing his statement and informs him that he got a good settlement. Dutch later learns from his attorney that all he got was back pay for 2 days of missed work. She also gives him her card and tells him to call her some time. At the warehouse, Aceveda arrives to talk with the press about the drug bust. Olivia tells Ronnie to get back to the barn where Vic knows he will be arrested. Claudette tells Lloyd that she knows he's a murderer and that he's now a suspect in his mother's disappearance. She also reveals to Dutch that she's dying. Tina and Julien respond to a call and find that Huggins has been shot. He dies in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
Vic shows up at the barn and gets looks of contempt from everyone there. He finds Ronnie crying, who informs him about Shane killing himself and his family. Claudette asks to speak with Vic in the interrogation room (before Vic can inform Ronnie he's to be arrested) and makes him sit on the suspect's side of the table. She tells Vic about the note Shane wrote and reads it to him: "I guess enough painkillers can make even the worst kind of hurt go away. The thing you need to know is that Mara was innocent and Jackson was innocent; they didn't know what they were drinking and their last moments together were happy ones. They left the way I first found them, perfect and innocent. They were innocent and they are in heaven now and we'll always be a family. The guilty ones are me and Vic. Vic led but I kept following. I don't think one's worse than the other, but we made each other into something worse than our individual selves. I wish I'd never met him. I see it all now. There are no apologies I can make, no explanations I can give. I was who I was and I can't be that person any more. I can't let myself...". The note is incomplete because he shot himself before he could finish it. Claudette tells Vic that she hopes he's proud of himself and shows him pictures of Shane and his family. Vic's face twitches and there is a long silence. He realizes that Claudette is watching him from the monitoring room so he rips out the surveillance camera and tells her to bill him for it on his way out. Claudette signals to Dutch and he proceeds to arrest Ronnie, with Vic present. Ronnie becomes furious when he learns of Vic's betrayal, and as he is being processed yells at Vic about the two of them running together and "protecting the team".
The next morning, Vic goes to ICE to start his new job. He asks Olivia where his family is but she refuses to tell him. She then breaks the news that he won't be working on the streets for ICE. His job is to produce daily reports about gang related activity, and will involve no active investigation on his part - crime data will be provided to him, and he will be required to analyze it and reach an opinion as to what the crimes reveal about gangland politics. Vic refuses this desk job, but Olivia tells him that if he doesn't take the job for the next three years he will be prosecuted for all his confessed crimes. Likewise, he'll be prosecuted if he breaches any of the terms of his employment, which are extremely restrictive: notably, Vic has to wear a suit and tie, is not authorized to carry a weapon on the job, and is not to have any direct role in police work. Olivia makes it clear that she will be monitoring him closely for any breach of the rules which will allow her to prosecute him.
At the barn, Aceveda tells Claudette that there is no truth to rumors that he was involved with Huggins' death. He asks her how she's holding up and tells her that they both spent a lot of time trying to put Vic ("That Man" as Aceveda refers to Vic) away. She congratulates him on becoming mayor, as in the background footage of the president's visit is played on the television. Vic returns to ICE in a suit and tie and is given a tour of his new work environment. He is visibly angry and upset. A federal agent shows Corinne and her children their new home and describes the neighborhood (it can be deduced that the location is Rockford, Illinois, since they have the skeleton of Jane at Burpee Museum of Natural History). He tells them that the home is pretty basic, but Corinne thinks it's fine. Back at the barn, the Unis have a small celebration for Tina's one year anniversary, which is soon interrupted by a robbery call. Back at ICE, Vic, still visibly angry, places pictures of his children on his desk and a picture of the entire strike team, folded to only show himself and Lem. He smiles when he looks at the picture of Lem. He hears sirens and looks outside the window and sees some patrol cars. He returns to his desk and sits quietly for a while looking more and more emotional. He seems to be about to cry upon seeing the pictures of his children and thinking about everything that has happened to him. Finally, the lights go out, he takes his gun out of a lock box and smiles. He then puts on his jacket and leaves; his destination unknown.
The episode ends with a montage of significant characters and events from the show.
Production notes[edit]
This is the only episode for which Shawn Ryan was not present during filming. The 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike had just begun and as a Guild member, Ryan was obliged to take part in the strike.
Shane Vendrell's murder-suicide was not in the first draft script, but after Ryan had heard news of the similar murder-suicide of wrestler Chris Benoit and his family, he wrote it in.[1]
Episode director Clark Johnson appears briefly as the federal agent who introduces Corinne and family to their new home.
Due to the episode running approximately 80 minutes in length, it was split to 2 parts for reruns, counting the 2nd part as the 14th episode of season 7.
Reception[edit]
The final episode and the final season as a whole received overwhelming praise from many notable critics.[2][3] Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune said of the finale:
Thanks to its insanely talented cast and a terrific script by creator Shawn Ryan, longtime “Shield” fans may find themselves fighting back tears more than once; and finally, this is the most brilliant series finale I’ve ever seen. I will miss this show.[4]
In 2011, the finale was ranked #20 on the TV Guide Network special, TV's Most Unforgettable Finales.[5]
Music[edit]
The song played during the montage at the end of the episode is "Long Time Ago" by Concrete Blonde.

Ink sac
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Ventral view of the viscera of Chtenopteryx sicula showing the position of the ink sac
An ink sac is an anatomical feature that is found in many cephalopod mollusks used to produce the defensive cephalopod ink. With the exception of nocturnal and very deep water cephalopods, all coeloids (squid, octopus and cuttlefish) which dwell in light conditions have an ink sac, which can be used to expel a cloud of dark ink in order to confuse predators.[1]
The ink sac is a muscular bag which originated as an extension of the hind gut; it is a modified hypobranchial gland.[2] It lies beneath the gut and opens into the anus, into which its contents – almost pure melanin – can be squirted; its proximity to the base of the funnel means that the ink can be distributed by ejected water as the cephalopod uses its jet propulsion.[1] The ejected cloud of melanin is bound by mucus particles, so it forms a lump approximately the size and shape of the cephalopod, fixing the predator's attention while the mollusc itself makes a hasty escape.[1]
A general level of provocation is necessary to trigger an octopus to release its ink, as it is biologically costly to produce. Some species can even use their ink to stun or numb their predators.[citation needed]
