Amid 2020 Election, Amazon Unleashes 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' 10.01.2020 Back in 2006, Sacha Baron Cohen became very famous (and infamous) for playing Borat, a clueless but lovable Kazakhstani who finds himself winning over Americans in spite of himself. Borat itself was a spin-off of another Cohen vehicle, Da Ali G Show, which aired from 2000-2005 on Channel 4 in the UK and on HBO in the U.S. The twist to both programs was that they were both part-fiction, part-reality as Cohen's character interacted with real Americans, and not usually in ways meant to highlight their best qualities. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm is in exactly that same vein, only this time it adds Irina Nowak, playing Borat's daughter, whom he plans to use to bribe someone in the American government to aid his own country. It's all explained in the movie's full title: Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. The trailer reveals some of these incredibly awkward moments, including Cohen's actual infiltration of Vice President Mike Pence's speech during February's CPAC convention in Washington, D.C. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm is directed by Jason Woliner (The Last Man on Earth, Nathan For You) and comes from a script by Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines, Dan Swimer, Peter Baynham, Erica Rivinoja, Dan Mazer, Jena Friedman and Lee Kern. The film was produced by Sacha Baron Cohen, Monica Levinson and Anthony Hines and executive produced by Buddy Enright, Nicholas Hatton, Peter Baynham, Dan Mazer and Stuart Miller. â€‹Borat Subsequent Moviefilm debuts on Amazon on Oct. 23-just days before the 2020 election.

How Democratic Is Jazz?
Accepted Manuscript Version Version of Record Published in Finding Democracy in Music, ed. Robert Adlington and Esteban Buch (New York: Routledge, 2021), 58–79 How Democratic Is Jazz? BENJAMIN GIVAN uring his 2016 election campaign and early months in office, U.S. President Donald J. Trump was occasionally compared to a jazz musician. 1 His Dnotorious tendency to act without forethought reminded some press commentators of the celebrated African American art form’s characteristic spontaneity.2 This was more than a little odd. Trump? Could this corrupt, capricious, megalomaniacal racist really be the Coltrane of contemporary American politics?3 True, the leader of the free world, if no jazz lover himself, fully appreciated music’s enormous global appeal,4 and had even been known in his youth to express his musical opinions in a manner redolent of great jazz musicians such as Charles Mingus and Miles Davis—with his fists. 5 But didn’t his reckless administration I owe many thanks to Robert Adlington, Ben Bierman, and Dana Gooley for their advice, and to the staffs of the National Museum of American History’s Smithsonian Archives Center and the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

Or in other words, the real parties vilified by Cohen are not Borat’s victims but Borat himself. The humour is ultimately directed at this uncivilized buffoon-Borat. He is the butt of every joke. He is the one we laugh at, and are intended to laugh at, the most inasmuch as he is more vulgar, savage, ignorant, barbaric, and racist than any of the bigoted Americans “exposed” in the 2006 film Borat: Cultural Learn- ings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. This would not be quite as problematic if the fictional Borat did not come from a very real place and did not so obviously (mis)represent Muslims. While the 2006 film has received coverage and praise for revealing the racism of Americans, very few people are asking whether Cohen’s caricature of a savage, homophobic, misogynist, racist, and hard core Jew-hating Muslim is not actually a form of anti-Muslim racism.

WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies—all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth. —George Orwell, 19841 I will speak to you in plain, simple English. And that brings us to tonight’s word: ‘truthiness.’ Now I’m sure some of the ‘word police,’ the ‘wordinistas’ over at Webster’s are gonna say, ‘hey, that’s not really a word.’ Well, anyone who knows me knows I’m no fan of dictionaries or reference books.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

The number of American ser- vice members in the country was officially reduced to 2,500 in the final days of the Trump adminis- tration — the lowest level since the start of the war — but the number actually dropped to around 3,500, the newspaper re- ported Sunday. The difference is the result of some special operations forces being “off the books” and some temporary and transitioning units being in theater, the report said. It cited unnamed American, Eu- ropean and Afghan officials. The military’s method of re- porting its overseas force num- bers has drawn criticism before, including from then-Defense Sec- retary Jim Mattis in 2017, who pledged more straightforward ac- counting, shortly before the Trump administration began re- dacting numbers of troops in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan from quarterly reports.
