I bring ​ ​ this series into the discussion because of the ways in which it echos, parallels, and alludes to both Emma and Clueless individually, and the two as a source pair. I do not argue that the series is an ​ ​ ​ actual adaptation, but rather, a sort of collage, recombining motifs from both source texts to create something new, exciting, and completely absurd.

  • GOSSIP GIRL HERE: Your One and Only Source Into the Scandalous Lives of Manhattan’S Elite
    GOSSIP GIRL HERE: your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite The sixth episode of the series is now available. GOSSIP GIRL, will return this November for the second part of the first season with six new episodes. Halloween is one of my favorite celebrations: it’s the perfect occasion to pretend to be something different, hiding behind our best mask and only worrying about having a good time.Although what began as a promising - and compromising - friendship between Zoya and a certain Simon, apparently ended in a typical Halloween joke: what appeared to be prince charming turned out to be an impostor who was only trying to discover who is behind the Manhattan elite’s best gossip. Beware of those who approach you, Z! This time you were lucky, but nothing guarantees that there aren’t more masked people around you.And although we thought that Constance Billard's most well-known sisters would get all the attention at the "Legends of New York" costume party, apparently they have considerable competition: Pippa and Bianca, managed to ally with Monet to steal the throne from JC and Z but ... will they achieve their goal?Who definitely didn’t achieve his goal during these past few days was Aki, who despite his insistence on getting Max out of Rafa's clutches, can’t seem to reason with his friend. How far can that forbidden and oh so problematic crush go?However, if anyone is in trouble right now, it's Audrey. Some sources have told us that our poor almost-perfect blonde friend is about to leave Constance Billard at her mother's behest… Ah, family drama, an everyday thing on the Upper East Side! However, that may be the least of her problems at the moment… We hope Max and Aki will smooth things over and give our girl some support.

  • We Are All Gossip Girl”: Gossip Girl and the Promise of Interactive Television
    PREVIOUSLY ON “We are all Gossip Girl”: Gossip Girl and the Promise of Interactive Television Elisa Lange In November 2010, Current TV, a cable network founded by former Vice President Al Gore, has started airing a 30 minute TV series called Bar Karma, which is created in online collaboration with fans and is thus a new step to truly participatory and interactive TV. On a website users can pitch storylines, comment on submitted entries, talk to the producers, and contribute marketing ideas. The show is co-produced by SimCity creator Will Wright and features well-known actors like William Sanderson (http://current.com/studios/about/). Of course, there is no guarantee that the fans’ story idea will find its way into the actual show since the producers and writers still hold the power to decide how and if a pitch is worked into the final product. Still, this project allows viewer to have more than an imaginary control over the televised narrative even if the project’s success still remains to be seen. Still, interactivity rarely plays out on the primary level of the TV program itself, but more commonly on the secondary level and tertiary level of the televisual text, that is network created websites that allow some contributions from fans and unregulated communications between fans (Fiske, 1983: 85). Interactivity within the TV landscape is often associated with the viewers’ ability to turn from passive consumers into active producers of content that “adds” to the televised narrative but does not change it (Hassapopoulou, 2010: 48). This distinction usually does not to take into account that even when viewers are passively sitting on their couch watching soap operas, their minds are still actively engaged in making sense of the narratives and relationships.

  • Marvel's “Runaways”
    Marvel’s “Runaways” Finds A Home On Hulu By Sarah Johnson The 2003 Marvel comic “Runaways,” created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, will finally hit the streaming screens exclusively on Hulu. With the likes of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Spiderman dominating the superhero movie arena, it can sometimes feel like maybe only straight, white men can be the stars of their own comics. In this way, a step towards “Runaways,” is most definitely a step in the right direction. Even for the casual readers of Marvel comics, many may not be familiar with the distinctive story that is “Runaways.” The story is as rare as it is familiar, giving the audiences a taste of what it might actually be like to deal with both growing up and well, saving the world. “Runaways” stars six teens, varying in ages, and more significantly – in gender and race. Each year the teens’ families meet together for a charity affair each kid dreads to attend – none of them are particularly close. At the most recent charity event, everything seems oh-so-typically-teenager-y until the group stumbles upon their parents sacrificing a girl right there in the house. So the “I hate my mom and dad” stakes are considerably raised, as each kid has to come to terms with the fact their parents are most definitely supervillains and are a part of “The Pride” – a criminal society that has connections throughout all of Los Angeles. What follows is an action-packed thrilling chase between the confused teens on the run from their evil parents, who surprise – want their kids on their villainous team.
