Spiderman John Jonah Jameson A Critical Report On A Critical Report on the movie Spiderman John Jonah Jameson : (also known as J.J.J., Jolly Jonah Jameson, Jigsaw Jameson or J.J.) is a fictional supporting character featured in various Marvel Comics, most prominently the Spider-Man title. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (March 1963). Jameson is usually the publisher or editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, a fictional New York newspaper and now serves as the mayor of New York City. Recognizable by his mustache, flattop haircut and ever- present cigar, he carries out a smear campaign against Spider-Man that has turned much of the city against the hero. He unknowingly employs Spider-Man’s alter ego Peter Parker as a photojournalist. Portrayals of Jameson have varied throughout the years. Sometimes he is shown as a foolishly stubborn and pompous skinflint who micro- manages his employees and resents Spider-Man out of jealousy. Other writers have portrayed him more humanly, as a humorously obnox- ious yet caring boss who nevertheless has shown great bravery and in- tegrity in the face of the assorted villains with which the Bugle comes into contact, and whose campaign against Spider-Man comes more from fear of youngsters following his example. In either case, he has remained an important part of the Spider-Man mythos. Jameson is also the father of John Jameson, the Marvel Universe sup- porting character who, in addition to his job as a famous astronaut, has at turns become Man-Wolf and Star-God, and married She-Hulk. Jameson was raised by his stepfather, his biological father’s brother. This is who he learned to love cigars from. His biological father J. Jo- nah Jameson Sr. left the country for unknown reasons. As a result of the wedding of his father and May Parker, he and Peter Parker are now in-laws.

It was able to drop 50 stories (over 600 ft) and with shot lengths of just over 2400 feet or 3200 feet (for shooting in New York City, or Los Angeles), and could shoot at six frames/second to convey a sense of speed. The Spydercam was only used in this film for the final sequence, but was brought into more use for the sequels. more Goofs: Continuity: After Peter punches Flash in the school hallway, a boy with glasses stands at the right behind a stunned Mary Jane and he looks at Peter in shock. When Harry is seen and says, “Peter, that was amazing”, the same boy is now standing to her left and smiling, applauding Peter’s actions. As Peter runs down the hall, the boy’s position changes from Mary Jane’s left to her right again. more Quotes: [first lines] Peter Parker: [voiceover] Who am I? You sure you want to know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale... if somebody told you I was just your average ordinary guy, not a care in the world... somebody lied. more Movie Connections: Referenced in Mosaic (2007) (V) more Soundtrack: Jimmy Shaker Day A Critical Report on the movie Spiderman Spider-Man 3 has the second Filming largest budget of ofall time, the $258 million. Movie You can get a whole lot of visual effects with that kind of money. It is reported that $58 million was spent on visual effects in Spider-Man 2 so it is probably even more this time around. There are 10 companies credited for various parts of visual effects work on SM3, they are: Tweak Films, SPI, Furious FX, Pixel Liberation Front, GKR, New Deal Studios, Evil Eyes Pictures, Digital Dream, CafeFX, and Halon. Over a thousand people worked on the visual effects, sound, and art. Stunts and Live Action Filming A lot of the live action scenes were shot on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. The mayor even re-paved some roads for smoothness that was needed for filming. Cleveland Convention Center was used as a auto shop for working on over 60 cars in the movie and also housed wardrobe, offices, and the art department.Ground up corn was used for Sandman shots such as the Armored Car scene. Some stunts required days of rigging work and hundreds of thousands of dollars just to pull them off.Most of the movies action scenes and Spider-Man scenes were done by taking some live action shots and then blending those shots with CG characters and effects. All visual effects shots were pre-visualized with drawings and those pre-vis drawings were carefully followed. had to scan the character into the computer, take motion capture tests to get down facial expressions, and take images of the way there skin reacts to light. They did all of this by putting the actors into the costumes and getting images of thousands of different lighting situations with a special light rig. Then the CGI characters were then melded with the real life shots or made by comparing the shots with CG lighting. For creating the characters heads, they would take 360-degree HDR images of the environment and then use a software algorithm to blend together images to get the right look. Another thing they wanted to do was make the muscles and the way the CG characters move as realistic as possible. So special tools and proprietary scripts were written specifically for Spider-Man 3 that shows muscle detail like no other movie has done before. Whenever live shots were done with wires, the crew followed pre-vis drawings and used a laptop to composite effects so they could see if they had takes that would work. Director Sam Raimi said “ Anything that’s dangerous or that wouldn’t look physically sound we go with the CG character.” Hardware and Software Info * Was shot with Panaflex Cameras by Panavision in 35mm format * Hardware used for creating visual effects: Mostly Linux machines and some Windows * Stereoscopic lighting done with Maya, Renderman, Shake, and Inferno * Most of the rendering was done with Maya and Render- man * Scott Stodyk (main editor) used a mini skyscraper section at 1/16th of scale instead of using CGI so that damage to the building would be more realistic and to save money. * Visual effects budget was most likely over $60 million 6 # Before Willem Dafoe Production received the role of the Green Goblin,Planning Nicolas Cage, John Stages Malkovich and Robert De Niro were offered the role. Malkovich and Dafoe starred together in Shadow of the Vampire (2000), which was produced by Nicolas Cage. # James Franco auditioned to play Peter Parker, but was cast as Harry Osborn instead. # The Green Goblin was chosen as the film’s main villain since Sam Raimi felt the father-son theme (Norman and Harry Osborn and Peter Parker) would make the film deeper. # In addition to both Peter Parker and Norman Osborn wearing their enemy’s costume colors during the Thanksgiving dinner scene, Harry Osborn is seen wearing all of the colors. He’s wearing a green shirt, red tie and blue coat. # Leonardo DiCaprio was considered for the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. # Sam Raimi was not Sony’s first choice as director. Others considered were Tony Scott, Jan de Bont, James Cameron, Roland Emmerich, Ang Lee and David Fincher. # Alicia Witt was considered for the role of Mary-Jane Watson. # Mena Suvari auditioned for the role of Mary Jane Watson. # Eliza Dushku had auditioned for the role of Mary Jane Watson. In Tobey Maguire’s screen test (as seen on the DVD), the actress playing Mary Jane Watson was Eliza Dushku. # Elisha Cuthbert auditioned for the role of Mary-Jane Watson. # Pre-production planning for Spider-Man actually began in 1986 by Cannon Films. Later, Cannon sold the produc- tion rights to Carolco Pictures. Carolco would later sell the production rights to Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc.

  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

  • The Amazing Spider-Man #31 (Marvel, 1965)
    The Amazing Spider-Man #31 (Marvel, 1965) First appearances of three well-known supporting characters in the Spider-Man saga, namely Gwen Stacy, Professor Warren, and also Harry Osborn. Steve Ditko cover art. There is a CGC 9.6 Twin Cities pedigree copy. #10 most valuable 1 st appearance 1965 silver age Marvel comic. Print run estimate: 320,000 copies. Gwendolyn Maxine "Gwen" Stacy is a fictional character who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as a supporting character in those featuring Spider-Man. A college student, Gwen was originally the first true love of Peter Parker before she was murdered by his nemesis Norman Osborn. Spider-Man writers and fans alike often debate whether Peter's "one true love" is Gwen Stacy, or his subsequent love interest, Mary Jane Watson, though stories written long after her death indicate that Gwen still holds a special place in his heart. The character has been portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard in the 2007 film Spider-Man 3 and by Emma Stone as Peter Parker's friend and love interest in the 2012 reboot film The Amazing Spider-Man and the sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, she first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #31 (December 1965). The Green Goblin kidnapped and threw Gwen Stacy off the George Washington Bridge in The Amazing Spider-Man#121 (June 1973) after his Goblin persona returned as a result of stress in his life. Both the decision to kill Gwen and the method in which Marvel implemented it remain controversial among fans because some believe that Peter himself was the one that caused her death.

(2017). “My” hero or epic fail? Torchwood as transnational telefantasy. Palabra Clave, 20(3), 722-762. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Abstract Telefantasy series Torchwood (2006–2011, multiple production partners) was industrially and paratextually positioned as being Welsh, despite its frequent status as an international co-production. When, for series 4 (sub- titled Miracle Day, much as the miniseries produced as series 3 was subti- tled Children of Earth), the production (and diegesis) moved primarily to the United States as a co-production between BBC Worldwide and Amer- ican premium cable broadcaster Starz, fan response was negative from the announcement, with the series being termed Americanised in popular and academic discourse. This study, drawn from my doctoral research, which interrogates all of these assumptions via textual, industrial/contextual and audience analysis focusing upon ideological, aesthetic and interpretations of national identity representation, focuses upon the interactions between fan cultural capital and national cultural capital and how those interactions impact others of the myriad of reasons why the (re)glocalisation failed. It finds that, in part due to the competing public service and commercial ide- ologies of the BBC, Torchwood was a glocalised text from the beginning, de- spite its positioning as Welsh, which then became glocalised again in series 4.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................
