  • The Portrayal of Tourette Syndrome in Film and Television Samantha Calder-Sprackman, Stephanie Sutherland, Asif Doja
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE COPYRIGHT ©2014 T HE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES INC . The Portrayal of Tourette Syndrome in Film and Television Samantha Calder-Sprackman, Stephanie Sutherland, Asif Doja ABSTRACT: Objective: To determine the representation of Tourette Syndrome (TS) in fictional movies and television programs by investigating recurrent themes and depictions. Background: Television and film can be a source of information and misinformation about medical disorders. Tourette Syndrome has received attention in the popular media, but no studies have been done on the accuracy of the depiction of the disorder. Methods: International internet movie databases were searched using the terms “Tourette’s”, “Tourette’s Syndrome”, and “tics” to generate all movies, shorts, and television programs featuring a character or scene with TS or a person imitating TS. Using a grounded theory approach, we identified the types of characters, tics, and co-morbidities depicted as well as the overall representation of TS. Results: Thirty-seven television programs and films were reviewed dating from 1976 to 2010. Fictional movies and television shows gave overall misrepresentations of TS. Coprolalia was overrepresented as a tic manifestation, characters were depicted having autism spectrum disorder symptoms rather than TS, and physicians were portrayed as unsympathetic and only focusing on medical therapies. School and family relationships were frequently depicted as being negatively impacted by TS, leading to poor quality of life. Conclusions: Film and television are easily accessible resources for patients and the public that may influence their beliefs about TS. Physicians should be aware that TS is often inaccurately represented in television programs and film and acknowledge misrepresentations in order to counsel patients accordingly.

"Amped About Hell": Representations of the Suburban Gothic in Serial Television Abstract Derived from the work of Bernice M. Murphy, "Suburban Gothic" is a subgenre in popular culture providing continuous commentary on American society. Though she writes extensively about depictions of Suburban Gothic throughout the last several decades, Murphy’s research has shown little interest in television. The advent of complex narrative in serial television, particularly over the last twenty-five years, is crucial to homing in on the format. Viewing the Suburban Gothic as a "genre television,” we can see it evolving into a higher art form. Using essays in aesthetics and film theory to enhance the understanding of Suburban Gothic, three shows are using a combination of these theories.

  • The Drink Tank’S 9Th Annual Giant Sized Annual James Bacon - the Drink Tank 365 - Chris Garcia Garcia@Computerhistoryorg January 31St, 2014
    The Drink Tank’s 9th Annual Giant Sized Annual James Bacon - The Drink Tank 365 - Chris Garcia Garcia@computerhistoryorg January 31st, 2014 Before I get into Twin Peaks, I’ve got some news. The last Drink Tank will hit the street on January 31st, 2015. That’s right, we’re gonna call it a day in exactly one year. The Tenth Annual Giant Sized Annual will be the last issue of The Drink Tank. Ten years and, what I assume will be more than 400 issues. Neither will be a record, but both feel like enough to me. I never wanted The Drink Tank to be one of those zines that just stopped show- ing up one day. I wanna be the one to close the door on it, and this seems like the time. Ten years, man. My entire 30s. I’ll be 40 (and so will James, since he’s the older brother, it would seem) James signed off on the idea when I pitched it to him. Ten Years is a good round number. It’ll be time to close the door. Back in the 90s, Antonio Inoki announced his retirement and then did a several year long tour, doing show after show, having some of the best matches of his career, including one with Big Van Vader that was just tops! He went on and on, not stopping until he really needed to retire, and certain that New Japan Pro Wrestling, the company he built, would be financially secure without him. Luckily, we don’t have those problems here, but there’s still a few things I wanna try.

Critics have sought to name this trend, arguing for the ‘re-quel’ as 15 16 a useful term (Pinkerton 2016, 34). For example, writing in Sight & Sound 17 18 For Peer Review 19 Nick Pinkerton argues that re-quels act simultaneously as sequels and as 20 21 restatements of key elements from their previous textual incarnations. By 22 23 introducing new, younger characters alongside ageing favourites, franchises 24 25 can strategically facilitate a “baton passage of Q [diegetic] worlds from one 26 27 generation to the next” (Pinkerton 2016, 34). In such continuations, then, the 28 29 30 issue of cross-generational transfer necessarily becomes significant (Lizardi 31 32 2017). 33 34 Cult TV has proffered a number of re-quels (e.g. Doctor Who; Star 35 36 Trek: The Next Generation; The Prisoner) given that it tends to have 37 38 39 established fan loyalty and brand recognition.
