“When the Gunfire Ends”: Deconstructing PTSD Among Military Veterans in Marvel's the Punisher
“When the Gunfire Ends”: Deconstructing PTSD Among Military Veterans in Marvel’s The Punisher GRAEME JOHN WILSON In the field of American masculinity studies, few research topics are as prominent as the military. The military is “an institution populated with men, but it [also] plays a primary role in shaping images of masculinity in the larger society” (Barrett 129),1 yet “there is [no] consensus among all men and women in any national setting about the ideal man” (Nagel 247). The soldier is an especially enduring archetype of hegemonic masculinity, a concept describing the most currently honored and idealized forms of masculinity in a society (Connell and Messerschmidt 832). The popularity of this archetype can be partially attributed to the extensive representation that the American armed forces have enjoyed in mass media, with the grit, bravery, and heroism of the American soldier being not only celebrated in mainstream news media, but also mythologized in blockbuster Hollywood productions: Militaries around the world have defined the soldier as an embodiment of traditional male sex role behaviors. From recruiting posters that seek “a few good men” to popular media images of John Wayne fearlessly leading the troops in a World War II battle, Tom Cruise as a “top gun” pilot, or Sylvester Stallone as Rambo single-handedly rescuing American prisoners of war, there has long been an association between the military and images of masculinity. (Barrett 129) 1 Although women have since been integrated into the military and deployed in combat, the military remains a largely traditional institution “structured along the lines of gender,” with maleness being viewed as an inherent element of soldiering (Herbert 7-8).

August 2019 #70 __________________________________________________________________________________________ _____ Some Hidden Gems to Stream in the Era of Peak TV By Steve Sternberg In the era of Peak TV, there are more original scripted series on more platforms than ever before. Ten years ago, there were no streaming services – today, two-thirds of homes in the U.S. have at least one, and over the next year or two more major players are on the way. A few years from now, the majority of TV homes will probably subscribe to three or more streaming services. Some of the higher-profile original series, such as Netflix’s House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Stranger Things, Narcos, Black Mirror, and The Crown, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, and The Looming Tower, and Amazon Prime Video’s The Man in the High Castle, Transparent, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, have won awards and received a lot of press coverage. So even though most viewers may not have actually watched them, many have at least heard of them (and might be among the first shows they check out when they subscribe to one of the major streaming services). There are numerous other good-to-great TV shows on these platforms that most people have probably never heard of. I’ve been analyzing television programming for more than 30 years and pride myself on keeping up with the TV/video landscape, and there are many shows I hadn’t been aware of until I started doing research for this report. I’ve already written about some of the best original series to stream and binge, highlighting such excellent shows as Amazon Prime Videos Bosch, Netflix’s Ozark and GLOW, and CBS All Access’s The Good Fight and Star Trek Discovery.

PI BMW Films Returns with ﬁthe Escapeﬂ
Corporate Communications Media Information September 2016 BMW Films returns with “The Escape”. Tribute film with Clive Owen and Dakota Fanning premieres on BMWFilms.com on 23 October. Munich / Woodcliff Lake. The new short film “The Escape”, featuring Clive Owen, Dakota Fanning, Jon Bernthal and Vera Farmiga, will premiere on BMWFilms.com on 23 October. The film continues in the tradition of “The Hire”, a series of unique short films released between 2001 and 2002 that created a stir on the international marketing scene and beyond: The eight films, aired in two seasons, realised a totally new approach. David Fincher, who was already well-known as the director of films such as “The Game” with Michael Douglas and “Fight Club” with Brad Pitt, executive produced the first series. Renowned authors, directors and actors brought gripping stories to life. In each film, British actor Clive Owen played the lead role alongside a BMW. The supposedly most popular film of the first season titled “Star” featured Madonna as Clive Owen’s “passenger” in a BMW M5. The second series, which was released in 2002, was executive produced by cult Hollywood producers Ridley and Tony Scott. 15 years on, BMWFilms.com returns with a tribute film, once again featuring Clive Owen behind the wheel and also starring Dakota Fanning (“War of the Worlds,” “I am Sam”), Jon Bernthal (“The Punisher,” “Daredevil”) and Vera Farmiga (“The Departed,” “Up in the Air”). The film was directed by South African director and Academy Award ® nominee Neill Blomkamp (“District 9”, “Elysium”) and realised for BMW North America by Geisel Productions, New York.
