  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • The Truth About What Michael Jackson Had (And Didn't Have) in His Bedroom
    Raven Woods, Contributor Raven Woods is an author, educator, pop culture journalist and author of Allforloveblog The Truth About What Michael Jackson Had (And Didn't Have) In His Bedroom This is all old news from a decade ago, and there is absolutely nothing in those reports that hasn't already had its day in court. HUFFPOST 07/08/2016 Updated Jul 14, 2016 Last week, as the world geared up to remember Michael Jackson on his seventh death anniversary, a deluge of negative publicity hit regarding allegations of "disturbing" child porn that was supposedly uncovered during the 2003 raid of Neverland, conducted prior to Jackson's 2004 indictment on charges of molesting a minor. The highly publicized trial in 2005 resulted in Jackson's acquittal on all fourteen counts. The problem is that the police documents in question and the list of items seized from Neverland are not "new" or "recently unearthed" documents, as some media outlets have mistakenly claimed in an effort to bolster salacious headlines. These were all items that were entered in court back in 2005 ― items that were well known to both the prosecution and defense and were presented before both Judge Melville and the jury. None of the items seized from Neverland fit the legal definition of child pornography, and in fact many of the items that are currently creating the most media hysteria were not pornographic at all. They were legal art books; a few of them containing some examples of adult erotica, but again, these were not titles that could be in any way deemed as pornographic or even obscene.

  • No Business Like Schmo Business: Reality TV and the Fetishistic
    Žižek and Cinema - Vol 1.3. No Business Like Schmo Business: Reality TV and Fetishistic Inversion Jennifer Friedlander – Pomona College, Claremont, California, United States Since Laura Mulvey (1975) posed the pivotal question of whether female spectators could avoid the patriarchal temptations prompted by the realist conventions of mainstream cinema, feminist film theorists have remained pessimistic about the potential for realist modes of representation to challenge cultural norms. For Mulvey, the gaze required by mainstream cinema is male. Under the male gaze, woman becomes the object of “fetishistic scopophilia,” enabling the spectator to take pleasure from both viewing the woman’s body and identifying with the male protagonist, all the while shielding himself from castration anxiety. In this view, the female spectator is sentenced to either give up the pleasure of viewing or take up one of two equally unsavory viewing positions: narcissism (through identifying too closely with the desired woman on- 1 screen) or masochism (through taking on the masculine desire for the female sexual object). Although the problem of female spectatorship is an old one, it has continued to endure. The roots of its tenacity grow from its commitment to: 1) an adherence to a model of ideology based primarily upon resistance; and 2) a model of the gaze based upon mastery rather than uncertainty. In this account, I seek to shift the terrain away from these assumptions and call, instead, for a view of a potentially subversive female spectatorship position that foregrounds the limitations of traditional ideology-critique, and locates the gaze in the place we cannot see.
