Carole-Anne Tyler helped me greatly by discussing gender and queer theory with me. Josh Pearson read drafts of chapters and gave me invaluable advice. I was able to work out chapters by presenting them at the annual conference of the Science Fiction Research Association, and I am grateful to the members of the organization for being so welcoming. I owe Erika Anderson undying gratitude for meticulously aiding me in research and proofreading the entire project. iv ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Omega Men The Masculinist Discourse of Apocalyptic Manhood in Postwar American Cinema by Ezekiel Crago Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in English University of California, Riverside, June 2019 Dr. Sherryl Vint, Co-Chairperson Dr. Derek Burrill, Co-Chairperson This study investigates anxieties over the role of white masculinity in American society after World War Two articulated in speculative films of the post-apocalypse. It treats the nascent genre of films as attempts to recenter white masculinity in the national imagination while navigating the increased visibility of this subject position, one that maintains dominance in society through its invisibility as superordinate standard of manhood.

The Two Towers: Face to Face with Gollum
http://vfxworld.com/?atype=articles&id=1650&page=1 The Two Towers: Face to Face With Gollum The Two Towers: Face to Face With Gollum The Lord of the Rings' Gollum is one of the most talked about performances of the year. Greg Singer goes behind the scenes with the Weta crew to see how they brought this pathetic creature to life over the course of three years. By Greg Singer [ Posted on March 17, 2003 ] In The Two Towers, a favorite scene of audiences was the schizophrenic argument of the submissive, frightened Smeagol with his belligerently self-protective alter-ego Gollum. With the two personalities cleverly juxtaposed, we see in a moment the wonderful, expressive range of actor Andy Serkis and the team of Weta artists who successfully brought the performance to life. Gollum is, without question, one of the highlights of The Two Towers, and considered to be among the best performances of the film. It is no mean feat for one character to arouse so much contempt and pity. Yet we hold our sympathy for Gollum somewhat at arm's length; it is a hesitant trust. We want to like him, but don't know quite what to make of him. A Host of People and Techniques With the motion and voice originally supplied by Serkis, the final on-screen presence was crafted and honed by a team of 18 animators. Bay Raitt, the creature facial lead for the movie, likes to use the following analogy: "Andy Serkis wrote the music, then [animation director] Randy Cook conducted it, and the animators are the ones playing the music that you see in the film." Gollum was created through a combination of techniques.
