Watkins, who admitted 13 offences at Cardiff Crown Court, had “plumbed new depths of depravity”, his judge said. The vocalist, whose band sold millions of albums around the world, plotted the abuse of two children with their own mothers in a series of text and Internet messages. The heavily tattooed 36-year-old spoke of his desire to intoxicate one of his victims by blowing crystal meth smoke into the child’s face. “Ian Watkins was the ringleader of this terrible conspiracy and it is right that his sentence reflects this,” the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement after sentencing. “He is a highly dangerous and manipulative individ- ountry singer Chris Cagle (KAY’-guhl) was arrested in Texas over the ual who preyed on his victims in a calculat- Cweekend on a drunken-driving charge.

  • 'Geri-Action' Film
    Narratives of cultural and professional redundancy: Ageing action stardom and the ‘geri-action’ film Glen Donnar (RMIT University) Abstract Focusing on The Expendables films, I identify the importance of discourses of professional and cultural redundancy in ‘geri-action’, an emergent subgenre of Hollywood action film that has revitalised the careers of ageing action stars such as Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. These redundancies, which hold long-standing significance in 1980s action film, are compounded in geri- action by advanced age and diminished physical capacity. In geri-action, the spectacle of once idealised, muscled bodies is concealed and displaced onto oversized guns, fetishised vehicles and younger action bodies. However much geri-action resists 1980s action stars’ use-by dates, it ultimately admits physical and generic exhaustion. Keywords: geri-action, Hollywood action films, ageing stars, Expendables The Rise of ‘Geri-action’ The release of a third Expendables film in 2014 extended the twilight of ageing 1980s action idols in the so-called ‘geri-action’ subgenre, that is, action films predominantly showcasing male stars ranging in age from their mid-50s into their 70s. The Expendables series (Stallone 2010; West 2012; Hughes 2014) features a motley team of elite mercenaries, led by Barney Ross (Stallone), recurrently motivated to take revenge on the all-star action villain after a local woman or beloved colleague is killed, injured or captured. The third film in the series adds such ageing action film luminaries as Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes and Harrison Ford (replacing Bruce Willis, who left the series after a conflict with Stallone) to the already extensive aged cast led by Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris.

By Walter Metz Published in: The Journal of Sport History. 44.1 [2017]. 95-96. Grudge Match, Peter Segal’s boxing comedy, relies on the contrasts between Sylvester Stallone in Rocky (1976) and Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull (1980) to produce a battle of popular Hollywood movies versus art house cinema. However, when Grudge Match pairs these two iconic actors—playing geriatric rivals reunited for one final confrontation—it forwards an understanding of what film historians seem to have forgotten. Stallone’s character was based on Rocky Marciano, the celebrated heavyweight who held the world’s championship from 1952-1956. DeNiro’s character in the biopic Raging Bull was directly based on the real Jake LaMotta. But as historical figures, Marciano and LaMotta share far more in common than the disparate films would indicate.

  • Indicators of Movie Quality an Exploratory Research Into Movie Quality
    Indicators of movie quality An exploratory research into movie quality Student name: Veronique Alida Maria Starmans Student number: 386815 Supervisor: Dr. Christian Wolfgang Handke Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Master Thesis Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship June 2017 Academic Year: 2016 – 2017 1 Abstract The movie industry is constantly evolving, prompting production studios to rethink their movies in order to keep up with these changes. This thesis aims to find out how different indicators of movie quality are correlated and how these indicators can provide useful information to movie production studios before and after the production of a movie. This is done by answering the man research question: How consistent are indicators of movie quality? To make the concept of quality measurable, I use indicators of quality such as: box office revenue, production budget, award nominations, award wins, and review ratings, several other variables derived from literature. After analysing these variables I conclude that there is a consistent correlation between budget and box office revenue, which could provide information to producers before production starts, and there is a correlation between box office revenue and the review ratings, which could provide information after production ends. I conclude by discussing the difficulties in measuring the concept of quality and the other possible indicators of quality which are not included in this thesis.
