Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Untouchable by Kitty Burroughs Untouchable Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Untouchable by Kitty Burroughs Untouchable. Untouchable is the seventh story in the Timely Tales series of stand-alone short stories, which highlight various characters in the Posterchildren universe. It was written by Kitty Burroughs, with cover artwork by Margaret Houang. The story revolves around Vee Kim. It was released on February 17, 2014. Plot Summary. Vee Kim prides herself on doing the right thing. As the lieutenant of the Valkyrie Squad, she is charged with protecting those who cannot protect themselves. She may have started out on the wrong side of the law, but that only means that she has an intimate understanding of the situations and circumstances that lead people to criminal activity. Now that she is a Collector, she holds herself to a higher standard. Of all her squadmates, she is the one most known for not letting the perp get away. Except for that one time, with that one boy. Once upon a time, Vee Kim made an exception for a blue-eyed boy who’d been kind to her when she’d needed it the most. She let him go, but he keeps coming back. Untouchable.

This is somewhat a response to my previous post about JK Rowling not doing her job as an ally well enough. In it I call for JK to create queer characters in her Harry Potter Universe so that young readers will have someone to look up to as Dumbledore is not gay. There is literature out there, however, that does fulfill the representation bar, and can be considered not just good for representation, but just queer inherently. I’d like to call attention to some of my favorite books, here. The Posterchildren | Kitty Burroughs. The Posterchildren by Kitty Burroughs follows the lives of teenagers with post-human powers. Superpowers. Living in a boarding school for other teenagers so that they can learn how to and become licensed superheroes. Kitty Burroughs not only meets the bar, but exceeds expectations for queer rep. You can find just about any type of person and identity in this series, as well as extra content from her in short stories about her side characters backgrounds. There’s even a future for polyamory hinted at with several main characters. This book is a haven for queer youth. There are some cons, though. I’m not above criticizing some of my favorite reads. The story seems to have no linear plot. There’s no all around evil that these children work to take down. It is simply just a snapshot into their lives at the boarding school. Which might be an interesting look at an already established Universe, but in a first novel I’m not sure it hits the mark just right. It’s still a very good book, however, and definitely worth the read. Every character is queer in their own right, and in their own unique ways. This book is inherently queer. Witch Eyes | Scott Tracey. This book is the first in a trilogy and follow a gay witch. Braden is the in-universe chosen one of witches. Born with a power only rumored about in the small town of Belle Dam. The power does come with a consequence, however, indescribable migraines that can and have knocked Braden unconscious. Seemingly too much for his body. The story follows Braden as he tries to rid his hometown of evil and demonic influence while maintaining typical High School friendships and romance. Here are the cons: The book follows a typical teenage chosen-one story, but just from a gay point of view. The romance and love triangles are all there, the miscommunication and even lack of communication is the center of all personal problems between the heroes. And that in and of itself is frustrating enough to put the book down to take a break. The world and the universe is very interesting however, and the hope for a happy ending is enough to make you finish the book, albeit just a bit disappointed in our hero. The Raven Boys | Maggie Stiefvater. The magnum opus of my list today is The Raven Cycle series. There are four books in this series following a group of teenagers looking for a mysterious figure. There is magic, psychic connections, inexplicable phenomenon, and queer romance. Technically the main characters could be described as heterosexual, but there are five main characters integral to the story. Two of them end up in a queer relationship at the end, and there is nothing stereotypical about it. One of them is gay, and the other is bisexual (and a boy which is even more rare in literature). Though the focus isn’t on their sexuality the author at least has the decency of actually writing in canon that the characters are queer (cough, JK Rowling, cough) I would give half my body to make this series take off as the next Harry Potter. The only conceivable con I can think of about this book is that it takes too long for the queer couple to become established. It’s hinted (if you can call getting backhanded by a hardcover a hint) at as early as the second book and it takes the entire rest of the series for them to become a couple. This isn’t necessarily a con, however, when you consider most YA romances have intimate relationships two chapters after meeting. They actually take the time to grow their relationship and learn about each other. They are best friends before boyfriends which is an important aspect to consider. Honorary Mentions. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (Gay) Hero by Perry Moore (Also Gay) The Fire’s Stone by Tanya Huff (Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer) JK Rowling Allyship Discourse. Listen I couldn’t come up with a better post title than that. I really want to talk about JK Rowling and her history of allyship with the queer community, because it’s something I think that get’s a lot more praise than it actually should, and it’s quite possible that I am the only queer person who feels this way, but I don’t think I am. It’s absolutely no secret that JK Rowling, author of Harry Potter in case you didn’t know (you did know though because of course you did), is an ally to the queer community. The record breaking, best selling author is becoming increasingly infamous for her snappy tweets defending the community. From defending Tom Daley after he was criticized for his Olympic performance. Can’t decide which is more offensive in this tweet, the stupidity or the spite. https://t.co/ksqZp17drc — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 20, 2016. To tweeting about specific victims from the Orlando shooting that she is somewhat connected to out of sympathy and empathy. Luis Vielma worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal. He was 22 years old. I can’t stop crying. #Orlando pic.twitter.com/Nz2ZCWxNsS — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 13, 2016. This is all well and good, but it’s not exactly necessary. If there’s one thing queer people can do better than straight people it’s stick up for queer people. Coming from her position as one of the most successful authors since No One and The Bible there is absolutely so much more that JK Rowling could do to support the queer community and she’s extremely lacking in that regard. You know what I’m talking about. The classic discussion about queer representation and Harry Potter. This is the discourse referred to in the title. Dumbledore is a gay character in the ridiculously popular series, but JK Rowling had to mention that fact outside of the books. Does this give it credence? Not really. Dumbledore might have actually been gay in JK Rowling’s planning of the series, but it doesn’t give it validity in her execution. Dumbledore is not representation. Why not? Well first of all, she literally had to verbally say it outside of the books. And she plays it off as thinking it’s ridiculous for people to assume he isn’t gay, but that’s the point. Because of the heteronormative society that we are currently living in that is what people do when things aren’t explicitly stated in black and white text notarized by an official notary and witnessed by a minimum of three sound of mind people. That is how heteronormative society works.

  • PUNKS! TOPICALITY and the 1950S GANGSTER BIO-PIC CYCLE
    cHAPTER 6 PUnKs! TOPIcALItY AnD tHe 1950s gANGSTER BIo-PIc cYcLe ------------------------------- PeteR stAnfield “This is a re-creation of an era. An era of jazz Jalopies Prohibition And Trigger-Happy Punks.” — Baby Face Nelson this essay examines a distinctive and coherent cycle of films, pro- duced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which exploited the notoriety of Prohibition-era gangsters such as Baby Face Nelson, Al Capone, Bonnie Parker, Ma Barker, Mad Dog Coll, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, John Dillinger, and Legs Diamond. Despite the historical specificity of the gangsters portrayed in these “bio-pics,” the films each display a marked interest in relating their exploits to contemporary topical con- cerns. Not the least of these was a desire to exploit headline-grabbing, sensational stories of delinquent youth in the 1950s and to link these to equally sensational stories of punk hoodlums from 1920s and 1930s. In the following pages, some of the crossovers and overlaps between cycles of juvenile delinquency films and gangster bio-pics will be critically eval- uated. At the centre of analysis is the manner in which many of the films in the 1950s bio-pic gangster cycle present only a passing interest in pe- riod verisimilitude; producing a display of complex alignments between the historical and the contemporary. 185 peter stanfield DeLInQUENTS, gANGSTERs, AnD PUnKs In the 1950s, the representation of gangsters and of juvenile delinquents shared a common concern with explaining deviancy in terms of a rudi- mentary psychology,

  • MOB-#17 HED: the Untouchables (TV Series) DEK: Episodic
    MOB-#17 HED: The Untouchables (TV Series) DEK: Episodic adventures based off of Eliot Ness’ auto-biography of his crusade with “The Untouchables” against Al Capone and his criminal empire. By Jared DiMascio PULL QUOTE: “After seven months of legal delays, Al Capone, the most notorious product of the nation’s experiment with Prohibition, was on his way to federal prison to serve 11 years for income tax evasion” —Narrator PULL QUOTE: “The King of the hoodlums had left behind a vacant throne behind him, the next man to claim it would pay for the privilege in bullets and blood.” —Narrator [MOVIEBOX] Series Run: 119 Episodes, 4 Seasons (1959-1963) Starring: Robert Stack, Abel Fernandez, Nick Georgiade, Paul Picerni, Steve London, Bruce Gordon, Frank Dekova, Neville Brand and Walter Winchell Awards: Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series 1960 (Robert Stack) [BODY TEXT] They were the ultimate good guys, the original detective squad. Although the film of the same name has garnered much attention and praise in the mob genre, the classic television series—and the cast of Robert Stack and his men—will always be heralded as the first and the best “Untouchables.” A landmark series, The Untouchables was based off of Eliot Ness’ auto-biography and dealt with Ness’ entourage trying to dismantle Al Capone and his criminal empire in Chicago in the 1930s. While the two-part pilot depicts “the Untouchables’” efforts to send Capone to prison, the series picks up after that, as Frank Nitti and other criminals try to supplant themselves on the throne of the bootlegging empire, such as Jake “Greasy Thumb” Guzik and Joe “The Teacher” Kulak.

  • Horror, Crime, and War: Some Comment on the Films of Brian De Palma, 1980-1989
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 31, núm. 1 (2021) · ISSN: 2014-668X Horror, Crime, and War: Some Comment on the Films of Brian De Palma, 1980-1989 ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract This review-essay revisits four films by Brian De Palma made between 1980 and 1989—Dressed to Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables, and Casualties of War—in an attempt to reconsider the most successful decade of De Palma’s career and at the same time to counter the received wisdom that he is somehow a “great” or “visionary” director. In fact, De Palma has built his career largely on the imitation of old movies, usually by Alfred Hitchcock, beginning with his very first film, Murder à la Mod (1968), and extending all the way through to Passion (2012). Keywords: Brian De Palma, Dressed to Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables, Casualties of War, American cinema. Resumen Este ensayo-retrospectiva revisita cuatro películas de Brian De Palma realizadas entre 1980 y 1989 —Dressed to Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables y Casualties of War— en un intento de valorar la década más exitosa de la carrera de De Palma en la que se deposita toda la sabiduría recibida del de alguna manera, uno de los grandes directores y un "visionario". De hecho, De Palma ha construido su carrera en gran parte sobre la imitación de películas clásicas, generalmente de Alfred Hitchcock, comenzando con su primera película, Murder à la Mod (1968), y extendiéndose hasta Passion (2012). Palabras clave: Brian De Palma, Dressed to Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables, Casualties of War, Cine norteamericano. Introduction I’d like to begin this review-essay with what, by now, sadly, is the received wisdom on Brian De Palma, from none other than Robin Wood: The conventional dismissal of Brian De Palma—that he is a mere “Hitchcock imitator”—[is] certainly unjust .

  • Cops and the Counterculture
    “THERE’S A MAN WITH A GUN OVER THERE”: COPS AND THE COUNTERCULTURE Terry Moellinger, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2001 APPROVED: Olaf Hoerschelmann, Major Professor Harry Benshoff, Committee Member Steve Craig, Committee Member C. Melinda Levin, Graduate Coordinator Alan Albarran, Chair, Department of Radio, Television, Film C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Moellinger, Terry, There’s A Man With A Gun Over There: Cops And The Counterculture, Master of Science, December 2001, 304 pp., 2 tables, references, 236. By 1960, television advertisers recognized the economic potential of American youth, and producers were expected to develop programs to attract them, while still maintaining appeal for the older audience members. This task was to prove difficult as the decade wore on. While continuing to link the nation’s cold war concerns to the portrayal of good and evil, some shows, like 77 Sunset Strip, and The Mod Squad, explored alternative lifestyles, but still accepted American values. As the 1960s developed, crime programs continued to promote American hegemony but became increasingly more open to alternative reading strategies. This study examines the strategies developed to draw a youth audience to 1960s crime programs, while also supporting the dominant ideology of American society.
