Leštím si svůj policejní odznak KAPITOLA a chystám se mu dát sbohem, jemu a asi tak třiceti letům, co jsem pomáhal a chránil. Taky slzám, krvi, strachu a vítězstvím, prostě všemu, co tohle povolání obnáší. Předstíral jsem papírování, vyplňoval lejstra jako nějakej starej stroj, kterej se nikdo neobtěžoval vypnout. Přemejšlím o Eileeině váhavým úsměvu, o silnejch šťavnatejch steacích, co koupila dneska u řezníka, o láhvi šampusu, kterou dala na led, o tom, že když budu chtít, budu moct spát třeba do desíti, o slunnejch odpoledních, kdy si budu válet šunky, a o jednom neuzavřeným případu.

  • Frank Miller's Sin City
    FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR Production Notes Publicity materials are available at: twcpublicity.com Running Time: 102 mins MPAA Rating: TBD 1 FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR Production Notes Co-directors Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez reunite to bring Miller's visually stunning "Sin City" graphic novels back to the screen in 3D in FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR. In a town where justice doesn't prevail, the desperate want vengeance and ruthless murderers find themselves with vigilantes on their heels. Their paths cross in Sin City’s famous Kadie's Club Pecos. The film opens with fan-favorite “Just Another Saturday Night,” when Marv (Mickey Rourke) finds himself in the center of carnage as he tries to remember the preceding events. “The Long, Bad Night” tells the tale of Johnny, a cocky young gambler (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) taking his chances with the biggest villain in Sin City, Senator Roark (Powers Boothe). The central story, Miller’s acclaimed "A Dame To Kill For," features Dwight McCarthy (Josh Brolin) in his final confrontation with the woman of his dreams and nightmares, Ava Lord (Eva Green). “Nancy’s Last Dance" follows Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba) in the wake of John Hartigan’s (Bruce Willis) selfless suicide. Driven insane by grief and rage, she will stop at nothing to get revenge. 2 RETURNING TO SIN CITY When FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY opened in April 2005, the film was a critical and global box office success. Breaking new ground, the movie was filmed entirely on green screen and brought Miller’s black and white graphic novels to life.

  • GLBTQ Content in Comics/Graphic Novels for Teens
    GLBTQ content in comics/graphic novels for teens Devon Greyson, MLIS Centre for Health Services and Policy Research, Vancouver, Canada [email protected] Abstract: Purpose – This paper aims to provide an historical perspective and current guidance for youth librarians collecting graphic novels for teens. Design/methodology/approach – The paper provides a brief review of the historical issues involved with censorship/intellectual freedom and comics and of current teen-oriented graphic novels with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning of sexual orientation (GLBTQ) content in Canada and the USA. It also provides a context for negotiating intellectual freedom and collection management policy issues, and suggestions for targeted acquisitions of teen graphic novels with GLTBQ content. Findings – The paper provides a brief overview of US and Canadian censorship of comics, including how this legacy affects today’s market. It recognizes the difficulty of obtaining information and recommendations for teen-appropriate graphic novels containing GLBTQ content, and makes suggestions for core collection items. Research limitations/implications – Only English sources from the USA and Canada are reviewed. Francophone Canadian literature is relevant but outside of the scope of this paper. Practical implications – The paper is a useful source of information for the librarian looking for collection development suggestions, and/or for the librarian dealing with or preparing against intellectual freedom challenges to graphic novels or GLBTQ material for teens. Originality/value – This paper furthers discussion of censorship of graphic novels and of GLBTQ material, and provides concrete suggestions to librarians developing a teen graphic novel collection. The issue is timely, as the graphic novel industry is booming and the ALA has documented an increasing number of challenges to graphic novels in libraries.

Art below from 7 Miles A Second, story by David Wojnarowicz, art by James Romberger and Marguerite Van Cook (1996). ABSTRACT FATAL ATTRACTIONS: AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS AND THE AIDS CRISIS June 2015 Sean A. Guynes, B.A., Western Washington University M.A., University of Massachusetts Boston Advisor: Aaron Lecklider, Ph.D. Second Reader: Rachel Rubin, Ph.D. Between 1988 and 1994 American comic books engaged the politics, problematics, and crises of the AIDS epidemic by inserting the virus and its social, cultural, and epidemiological effects on gay men into the four-color fantasies of the superhero genre. As the comic-book industry was undergoing major internal changes that allowed for more mature, adult storylines, creators challenged the Comics Code Authority’s 1954 sanction against the representation of homosexuality to create, for the first time, openly gay characters. Creators’ efforts were driven by a desire to recognize the reality of gay men’s lived experiences, especially crucial in the epidemic time of the AIDS crisis.

  • Visions of Power: Violence, the Law, and the Post-9/11 Genre Film by Fareed Ismail Ben-Youssef a Dissertation Submitted in Parti
    Visions of Power: Violence, the Law, and the Post-9/11 Genre Film By Fareed Ismail Ben-Youssef A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Miryam B. Sas, Chair Professor David J. Cohen Professor Anton Kaes Professor D.A. Miller Summer 2017 1 Abstract Visions of Power: Violence, the Law, and the Post-9/11 Genre Film by Fareed Ismail Ben-Youssef Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Miryam B. Sas, Chair My dissertation, Visions of Power, uncovers specific moments where key Hollywood genre films blur the line between perpetrators of violence and its victims, disrupting a post-9/11 public discourse shaped by Manichean divisions. Discordant notes in these films provoke productive estrangement and challenge us to think historically, to see the resonances between this cultural moment and past traumatized moments in US history. The study thereby advances our understanding of American and international politics through its exploration of the narrative production of discourses around a state of emergency and the effects of this storytelling in creating a space of vaguely defined enemies where the parameters of the battlefield are obscured. Recent speeches by US presidents—as when George W. Bush commenced the War on Terror by citing the wanted posters of Old West, or when Barack Obama compared ISIS to the Joker—show how genre modes hold sway in executive discourse. I probe the cross-sections, slippages, and conflicts that exist within the ongoing dialogue between Hollywood entertainment and political discourse in the creation of competing visions of power to frame genre as a contested critical site—one of equal interest to politicians and to critically inclined filmmakers.
