    L3700 LETHAL WEAPON (USA, 1987) (Other titles: Arma lethale; Arme fatale; Dodbringende veben; Zwei stahlharte profis) Credits: director, Richard Donner ; writer, Shane Black. Cast: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey. Summary: Police thriller set in contemporary Los Angeles. Martin Riggs (Gibson) is no ordinary cop. He is a Vietnam veteran whose killing expertise and suicidal recklessness make him a lethal weapon to anyone he works against or with. Roger Murtaugh (Glover), also a veteran, is an easy-going homicide detective with a loving family, a big house, and a pension he does not want to lose. The only thing Murtaugh and Riggs have in common is that they hate to work with partners, but their partnership becomes the key to survival when a routine murder investigation turns into an all-out war with an international heroin ring.

  • The Nice Guys
    THE NICE GUYS Regia: Shane Black Interpreti: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Kim Basinger, Margaret Qualley, Matt Bomer Origine e produzione: USA / SILVER PICTURES, WAYPOINT ENTERTAINMENT Durata: 93' Los Angeles, anni Settanta. Lo sfortunato detective privato Holland March e Jackson Healy, un lottatore professionista, devono lavorare insieme per risolvere il caso di una ragazza scomparsa e la morte di una porno star, che apparentemente non sembrerebbero correlate. Durante le indagini, però, scopriranno una sconvolgente cospirazione criminale che arriva fino alle più alte sfere del potere. “'Noi come Bud Spencer e Terence Hill? Ma grazie, è un grande complimento'. La sensazione di leggera follia che aleggia sulla Croisette ieri ha accompagnato l’allegria contagiosa della coppia comica uscita dalla fantasia di Shene Blake: Russell Crowe (che si rivela insospettabile fan dei due Superpiedi quasi piatti) e Ryan Gosling, protagonisti di The Nice Guys. Holland March (Gosling) è un detective di scarso talento con figlia adolescente a carico (Angourie Rice) e Jackson Healy (Crowe) un ex poliziotto che si guadagna da vivere spaccando ossa a pagamento nella Los Angeles inquinata e corrotta di fine anni ‘70. Saranno costretti dalle circostanze, e dalla saggia e intrepida ragazzina, a allearsi per risolvere il caso di una ragazza scomparsa dopo aver girato un film porno. 'Due idioti che inciampano casualmente in questioni che non sanno gestire, ritrovandosi a scoperchiare una cospirazione di proporzioni gigantesche' secondo Black che li ha voluti per questa variazione sul tema della “buddy cop comedy”, un suo marchio di fabbrica già come sceneggiatore (Arma letale e L’ultimo boy-scout). A fare da sfondo a pasticci, scazzottate, misteriose sparizioni, la Hollywood Boulevard in piena decadenza piegata all’industria del porno.

  • Conclusion: What Might a War Film Look Like Going Forward?
    CONCLUSION: WHAT MIGHT A WAR FILM LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD? This text began from a broad perspective that was very much in line with Kellner’s understanding of the power of cinema: Films can also provide allegorical representations that interpret, comment on, and indirectly portray aspects of an era. Further there is an aesthetic, philosophical, and anticipatory dimension to flm, in which they provide artistic visions of the world that might transcend the social context of the moment and articulate future possibilities, positive and negative, and pro- vide insight into the nature of human beings, social relationships, institu- tions, and conficts of a given era. (14) From this point of view, this book considered the movies that it ana- lyzed within the technological and military “eras” they were made and frst viewed within, and considered the ways in which the war flm most often undermined the potential cooperative power of Internet-enabled machine species with a continued focus on the humanistic ethics laid out by Jeffords’ Reagan-era hard body. The “insight” the movies provided reifed the fears and concerns found in the moviemaking machinic phy- lum of Hollywood and its overlap with the American State War Machine, all the while deconstructing the documents as windows into “the nature of human beings, social relationships, institutions, and conficts” as it related to the civilian machinic audience of war flms. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 229 A. Tucker, Virtual Weaponry, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-60198-4 230 CONCLUSION: What MIGHT A WAR FILM LOOK LIKE GOING FOrwarD? This book is being published with the knowledge that, like Interfacing with the Internet in Popular Cinema, it is far from compre- hensive and with the hope that other scholars might pick up some of the initial or underdeveloped thoughts that were begun with this text.

  • Technology and the War on Terror: Film and the Ambivalence of Transhumanism
    TRANSMISSIONS: THE JOURNAL OF FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES 2017, VOL.2, NO. 1, PP. 50-61. Tatiana Prorokova Philipps University of Marburg Technology and the War on Terror: Film and the Ambivalence of Transhumanism Abstract: The War on Terror declared by the U.S. government after 9/11 resulted in the two most technologically equipped invasions the country has ever launched: the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War. American soldiers were provided with newly designed uniforms and weapons, with the best defensive armour and night-vision equipment, off-road vehicles, helicopters, and tanks. These enabled them to dominate the enemy technologically and guaranteed success in combat, minimizing the risk of injury and death among Americans. Film responded to these changes, playing with the issue of technology in war. In analysing Bigelow’s war drama, The Hurt Locker, which focuses on U.S. military actions in Iraq, and Favreau’s sci-fi Iron Man, which raises the problem of Afghan terrorists and thus implicitly deals with the Afghanistan War, this article looks over the role of technology in war and investigates the blurred boundaries between humanity and machinery in the era of technology. Additionally, the article examines Bay’s Transformers and its sequels to see whether war machines possess humanity. Key words: The War on Terror, technology, machine, transhumanism Introduction: Film and the War on Terror The terrifying terrorist attacks on 9/11 and the consequences they entailed have made the opening of the twenty-first century frightening and disquieting for the whole world—specifically for the United States.
