„Uck! ZZZZZ-Zzz“ Skurriler Erfolg Für Jennifer Lopez Und Ben Affleck: Ihre Gangster-Komödie „Liebe Mit Risiko“ Ist Der Schlechteste Film Aller Zeiten FILM Filmpaar Lopez, Affleck: „Ich überlebte Gigli“ „Uck! ZZZZZ-zzz“ Skurriler Erfolg für Jennifer Lopez und Ben Affleck: Ihre Gangster-Komödie „Liebe mit Risiko“ ist der schlechteste Film aller Zeiten. Sensationell war an diesem Film vieles, von Anfang an. Ben Affleck und Jennifer Lopez, die beiden Stars, verliebten sich bei den Dreharbeiten so heftig ineinander, dass er ihr einen Verlobungsring für eine Million Dollar schenkte und sie sich mit einem Aston Martin revanchierte Ð der Film soll- te das Dokument einer Liebe werden, wie sie die Welt noch nicht gese- hen hat. Affleck spielt einen Kleingangster, Lopez eine ãattraktive Les- be“ – warum, um Gottes willen? 54 Millionen Dollar kostete „Gigli“, so der Originaltitel, gerade mal 3,8 Millionen kamen am Startwochenende wieder herein. Das war der Anfang vom Ende. Der Film sehe aus, als habe man ihn ausschlie§lich aus herausgeschnittenen Szenen gemacht, höhn- te eFilmCritic.com; er erinnere an jemanden, ãder bei einem Unfall be- wusstlos wird und langsam verblutet, weil sich niemand um ihn kümmert“, schrieb die ãDetroit Free Press“. Die „Washington Post“ machte es kurz: ãAch. Oy. Woe and poo, bleccch and uck! ZZZZZ-zzz“. Nach ein paar Ta- gen begannen Geschäftemacher T-Shirts zu verkaufen, auf denen ãIch überlebte Gigli“ stand. Bei den Fans ging es bald nur noch um Details: Ist ãLiebe mit Risiko“ (Deutschland-Start 30.10.) der schlechteste Film des Jahres, der letzten hundert Jahre oder gleich der Filmgeschichte? Die Internet-Datenbank IMDb bietet in solchen Fällen eine Bewertungsskala von eins bis zehn an: Eins ist grottenschlecht, zehn ein absolutes Meisterwerk. ãDer Pate“ führt die Liste an, mit einem Schnitt von 9,0. ãLiebe mit Risiko“ stieg schlecht ein und wurde rasch noch schlechter; nach kurzer Zeit übernahm er Platz eins der schlechtesten Filme aller Zei- ten. Mit einem Durchschnittswert von 1,6 überflügelt der Film dabei so- gar noch Trash-Klassiker wie ãTurbo: A Power Rangers Movie“ (2,2), John Travoltas ãBattlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000“ (2,4) oder „Lawn- mower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace“ (2,4). Es war geschafft, der Rekord war da. Ihre geplante Hochzeit haben Jennifer Lopez und Ben Affleck inzwi- schen abgesagt. HAUKE GOOS 58 11/2003 KulturSPIEGEL.

  • Appendix 1: Selected Films
    Appendix 1: Selected Films The very random selection of films in this appendix may appear to be arbitrary, but it is an attempt to suggest, from a varied collection of titles not otherwise fully covered in this volume, that approaches to the treatment of sex in the cinema can represent a broad church indeed. Not all the films listed below are accomplished – and some are frankly maladroit – but they all have areas of interest in the ways in which they utilise some form of erotic expression. Barbarella (1968, directed by Roger Vadim) This French/Italian adaptation of the witty and transgressive science fiction comic strip embraces its own trash ethos with gusto, and creates an eccentric, utterly arti- ficial world for its foolhardy female astronaut, who Jane Fonda plays as basically a female Candide in space. The film is full of off- kilter sexuality, such as the evil Black Queen played by Anita Pallenberg as a predatory lesbian, while the opening scene features a space- suited figure stripping in zero gravity under the credits to reveal a naked Jane Fonda. Her peekaboo outfits in the film are cleverly designed, but belong firmly to the actress’s pre- feminist persona – although it might be argued that Barbarella herself, rather than being the sexual plaything for men one might imagine, in fact uses men to grant herself sexual gratification. The Blood Rose/La Rose Écorchée (aka Ravaged, 1970, directed by Claude Mulot) The delirious The Blood Rose was trumpeted as ‘The First Sex Horror Film Ever Made’. In its uncut European version, Claude Mulot’s film begins very much like an arthouse movie of the kind made by such directors as Alain Resnais: unortho- dox editing and tricks with time and the film’s chronology are used to destabilise the viewer.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Orlando Patterson Author: Rupert Russell Dying of Encouragement: From Pitch to Production in Hollywood Abstract Social scientists have long held that the media has a profound effect on modern societies. However, the cultural production of motion pictures and television shows has largely been neglected as a topic of inquiry. The following dissertation seeks to fill this lacuna in the current research by offering a systematic, comprehensive, and comparative analysis of the industry known colloquially as “Hollywood.” Specifically, this dissertation seeks to uncover the matrix of causal processes that filter the infinite array of potential television shows and motion pictures to the chosen few that are selected for production. This process is known as “development and green lighting.” Drawing from 110 interviews with writers, directors, producers, agents, managers, studio executives, network executives, financiers, and assistants who had been involved in the development and green lighting process, I explore not just decision making but the social milieu within which those decisions were made.

  • Ben Affleck,Jessica Alba,Jennifer Aniston,Mario Batali,David
    Ben Affleck Ben Affleck is certainly the #mancrushmonday for many ladies! Not only is he good-looking, but he’s immensely talented as an actor, producer, and screenwriter. Before he got all of those resume credits under his belt, he was just a kid who was running around Cambridge, Massachusetts with childhood friend Matt Damon. His big break came in 1997 in the Academy Award- winning film Good Will Hunting. After a great performance with long-time buddy Damon, the actor began landing parts in other great films, including Shakespeare in Love, Dogma, and Forces of Nature. More recently, he produced, wrote, and starred in Golden Globe-winning film Argo. He also appeared in films like Runner Runner and Gone Girl. He will play Batman in Batman vs. Superman, which will premiere in March 2016. Throughout the late 90s, Ben Affleck had an on-and-off relationship and love with Gwyneth Paltrow, which lasted until 2000. After Paltrow, he was rumored to be with a series of different women, including Salma Hayek, Jaime King, and Famke Janssen. In 2003, he announced his celebrity engagement to Jennifer Lopez, who he co-starred with in the film Gigli, but the two never made it down the aisle. He seems to have a thing for Jennifers and soon began a celebrity relationship with Jennifer Garner, his co-star in the film Daredevil. He proposed to Garner on her 33rd birthday, and the two got hitched when she was three months pregnant with their oldest daughter, Violet Anne. They went on to have two more children, daughter Seraphina Rose and son Samuel Garner.

Polansky Stanton Glantz, PHD BREATHE CALIFORNIA of SACRAMENTO-EMIGRANT TRAILS and the CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco, California February 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tobacco presentations in commercial motion pictures are of serious public health concern because cumulative exposure to this imagery causes large numbers of adolescents to start smoking.1 An estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation is attributed to this exposure.2,3 To examine trends in the number of tobacco presentations over time, by Motion Picture Association of America age-classification and North American distributor, we surveyed a large sample of films released to U.S. theaters 1991-2008 to trace the proportion of smoking and smokefree films, incidence of tobacco imagery in films with smoking, tobacco impressions (incidents times paid admissions) delivered to theater audiences, and tobacco brand display. Policy advocacy aimed at reducing adolescent exposure to tobacco in youth-rated (G, PG and PG13) films by modernizing the rating system to rate smoking movies R, with some specific exceptions,4 has been directed at the major studio distributors and their parent corporations since 2001. Some companies have adopted public stances that reflect growing public concern over the issue of smoking in youth-rated films.
