Short Review: the “Austin Powers” Films by Dr. John L. Flynn Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), New Line Ci
Short Review: The “Austin Powers” films by Dr. John L. Flynn Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), New Line Cinema, color, 94 min. Director: Jay Roach. Writer: Mike Myers. Producers: Demi Moore, Mike Myers, etc. Cast: Mike Myers, Elizabeth Hurley, Michael York, and Mimi Rogers. Someone just had to do another spoof series of James Bond movies (the Flint series with James Coburn, the Matt Helm series with Dean Martin, notwithstanding), and Mike Myers also camped up the whole 60’s decade—London’s Carnaby Street fashions, psychedelic art. .Yeah, baby! With Mrs. Kensington (Rogers) in tow, much like The Avengers British TV series, espionage agent Powers (Myers) pursues the loathsome Dr. Evil (Powers too) through the 60’s. Both make the jump to the 1990’s (thanks to the convenience of cryonic sleep), and Dr. Evil sets out to dominate the world, while Powers has plans to shag his former partner’s daughter Vanessa Kensington (the sensuous Hurley). The comedy ranges from satire to bathroom humor, but the babes look great in their tight, leather outfits or short, short skirts and go-go-boots! Who cares if it doesn’t make much sense! Have fun. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). (aka Austin Powers 2). New Line Cinema, Color, 95 min. Director: Jay Roach. Writers: Mike Myers and Michael McCullers. Producers: Demi Moore, Mike Myers, etc. Cast: Mike Myers, Heather Graham, Michael York, and Robert Wagner. Less spoofing and more bathroom humor in this Powers sequel! Dr. Evil (Myers) uses a “Time- Tunnel”- like time machine to travel back to the late 60’s, and steal Powers’ (Myers too) mojo, but sexy, go-go girl Felicity Shagwell (Graham) puts him at his ease with some tender-loving shagging of her own. -

Brian Baker “Here on the Outside”: Mobility and Bio-Politics in Michael
MOBILITY AND BIO-POLITICS IN CODE 46 115 Brian Baker “Here on the Outside”: Mobility and Bio-politics in Michael Winterbottom’s Code 46 This article takes as its focus the representation of mobility and bio-politics in contemporary sf cinema. Globalized networks of mobility in late capitalism have been haunted by the figure of the globally mobile terrorist and by the possibility of global pandemics such as the SARS epidemic of 2002-03 or the H1N1 swine flu panic of 2009 which resulted in the UK government stockpiling anti-viral drugs in case of the spread of a “killer virus.” In an increasingly mobilized world, anxieties about movement of people, transmission of data and disease, and terrorism produce systems for policing and regulating mobility. These anxieties are articulated in contemporary spy thrillers, zombie films, and outbreak or transmission narratives.1 In what follows, Michael Winterbottom’s Code 46 (2003) serves as a diagnostic text for the analysis of figurations of globalized mobility and bio-politics, and this article uses the work of Giorgio Agamben, Michel Foucault, and Hannah Arendt to investigate Code 46’s mapping of exclusion and inclusion, of the refugee and the citizen, within regulatory systems for the control of mobility in a near-future, post-catastrophic world of globalized capital. Code 46 begins with shots of the desert, of roads, and of dispersed settlements taken from a low-flying airplane. These vertical shots (desert analogues of the vertical shots of Manhattan or other North American cities that are a staple of contemporary crime film and television) render landscape as geometry, not as lived space from a human perspective (using perspective) but from an impersonal, “God’s eye” point of view. -
Organisms and Human Bodies As Contagions in the Post-Apocalyptic State
CHAPTER 1 Organisms and Human Bodies as Contagions in the Post-Apocalyptic State Robert A. Booth n this chapter, I show how discourses of contagion and pollution not only imbue many post-apocalyptic cinema and television narratives but also mirror public discourse about immigration. Further, I examine the often- I 1 racialized immigrant in post-apocalyptic film and television that is, in essence, a discourse on insider–outsider social divisions and relationships of power. Finally, I elucidate the argument that post-apocalyptic film and television rein- force the primacy of centralized political authority, namely the State, and post- 9/11 post-apocalyptic film in particular reinforces the hegemony of the State. The post-apocalyptic subgenre of science fiction and/or horror has become popular fodder for cinema and television. As Susan Sontag notes, “the science fiction film . is concerned with the aesthetics of destruction, with the pecu- liar beauties to be found in wreaking havoc, making a mess. And it is in the imagery of destruction that the core of a good science fiction film lies.”2 Portrayals of the post-apocalypse often index or echo visual memories of terrible societal traumatic events of the past.3 With the experience of the social, political, economic, and emotional trauma of the 9/11 attacks, one might reasonably assume that Americans would acquire a distaste for graphic destructive violence. Certainly, after the attacks, filmmakers occasionally felt pressured to remove images of the Twin Towers or to change content that might evoke the tragedy, such as planes crashing into skyscrapers. However, post-apocalyptic genres remain ever popular in American television and cinema. -

Models of Time Travel
MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened. -

28 Days Later
28 DAYS LATER Written by Alex Garland CLOSE ON A MONITOR SCREEN: Images of stunning violence. Looped. Soldiers in a foreign war shoot an unarmed civilian at point- blank range; a man is set on by a frenzied crowd wielding clubs and machetes; a woman is necklaced while her killers cheer and howl. Pull back to reveal that we are seeing one of many screens in a bank of monitors, all showing similar images... Then revealing that the monitors are in a... INT. SURGICAL CHAMBER - NIGHT ...surgical chamber. And watching the screens is a... ...chimp, strapped to an operating table, with its skull dissected open, webbed in wires and monitoring devices, muzzled with a transparent guard. Alive. Behind the surgical chamber, through the wide doorframe, we can see a larger laboratory beyond. INT. BRIGHT CORRIDOR - NIGHT A group of black-clad ALF Activists, all wearing balaclavas, move down a corridor. They carry various gear - bag, bolt cutters. As they move, one Activist reaches up to a security camera and sprays it black with an aerosol paint can. INT. LABORATORY - NIGHT The Activists enter the laboratory. CHIEF ACTIVIST Fucking hell... The Chief Activist takes his camera off his shoulder and starts taking photos. The room is huge and long, and darkened except for specific pools of light. Partially illuminated are rows of cages with clear perspex doors. They run down either side of the room. In the cages are chimpanzees. 2. Most are in a state of rabid agitation, banging and clawing against the perspex, baring teeth through foam-flecked mouths. -
