  • Bad Girls: Agency, Revenge, and Redemption in Contemporary Drama
    e Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy Bad Girls: Agency, Revenge, and Redemption in Contemporary Drama Courtney Watson, Ph.D. Radford University Roanoke, Virginia, United States [email protected] ABSTRACT Cultural movements including #TimesUp and #MeToo have contributed momentum to the demand for and development of smart, justified female criminal characters in contemporary television drama. These women are representations of shifting power dynamics, and they possess agency as they channel their desires and fury into success, redemption, and revenge. Building on works including Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl and Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, dramas produced since 2016—including The Handmaid’s Tale, Ozark, and Killing Eve—have featured the rise of women who use rule-breaking, rebellion, and crime to enact positive change. Keywords: #TimesUp, #MeToo, crime, television, drama, power, Margaret Atwood, revenge, Gone Girl, Orange is the New Black, The Handmaid’s Tale, Ozark, Killing Eve Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy 37 Watson From the recent popularity of the anti-heroine in novels and films like Gone Girl to the treatment of complicit women and crime-as-rebellion in Hulu’s adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale to the cultural watershed moments of the #TimesUp and #MeToo movements, there has been a groundswell of support for women seeking justice both within and outside the law. Behavior that once may have been dismissed as madness or instability—Beyoncé laughing wildly while swinging a baseball bat in her revenge-fantasy music video “Hold Up” in the wake of Jay-Z’s indiscretions comes to mind—can be examined with new understanding.

    FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Alistair MacLean | 336 pages | 01 Nov 2004 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780006164333 | English | London, United Kingdom Force 10 from Navarone movie () - Robert Shaw, Harrison Ford, Barbara Bach - video dailymotion Miller and Mallory you could visualize from the movie. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I had a tear in my eye at the end of the audiobook. Alistair Maclean always treats the German soldiers with respect and as a note he died in Frankfort, Germany. He entered a contest about the sea and won. He moved to Switzerland because of the high taxes at home. Really admire his work. I really enjoyed this audible book as much as the movie. I believe the narrator did an excellent job capturing this book. Someone who has not yet read "the Guns of Navaronne" or who can take this as a stand-alone novel. Would you ever listen to anything by Alistair MacLean again? I like his books. Uneven, unlikely in spots. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? MacLean keeps the final objective secret until the very last part of the book. Another brilliant story from MacLean and very ably performed. I hope there's more to come. Overall a great story, however I found the plot at times difficult to follow, and a bit incoherent. The latter chapters are exciting and more absorbing than earlier parts that required more of an effort. A rollicking good romp though the War in Yugoslavia, a little far fetched but races along at a good pace to a climactic ending.

The consequence of these two expectations of contrasting values results in stress for everyone involved. Hmong parents are stressed from not having a secure hold on their children in a foreign environment, with no guarantee that their children will follow a “traditional” route. Hmong American men are stressed from growing up in a home environment that grooms them to be a focal point of familial attention based on gender, with the expectation that they will eventually be responsible for an entire family; meanwhile, they are living in this American national environment that stresses that the ideal is that gender is irrelevant in the modern world. Hmong American women are stressed and in turn hold feelings of resentment that they are expected to adhere to traditional familial roles by their parents in addition to following a path to financial success the same as men.

STARRING OLIVIER AWARD WINNING ROGER ALLAM AND NANCY CARROLL AS GLYNDEBOURNE FOUNDER JOHN CHRISTIE AND HIS WIFE AUDREY MILDMAY. STRICTLY LIMITED RUN MUST END SATURDAY 30 JUNE. Audiences have just five weeks left to see David Hare’s critically acclaimed new play The Moderate Soprano, about the love story at the heart of the foundation of Glyndebourne, directed by Jeremy Herrin and starring Olivier Award winners Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll. The production enters its final weeks at the Duke of York’s Theatre where it must end a strictly limited season on Saturday 30 June. The previously untold story of an English eccentric, a young soprano and three refugees from Germany who together established Glyndebourne, one of England’s best loved cultural institutions, has garnered public and critical acclaim alike. The production has been embraced by the Christie family who continue to be involved with the running of Glyndebourne, 84 years after its launch. Executive Director Gus Christie attended the West End opening with his family and praised the portrayal of his grandfather John Christie who founded one of the most successful opera houses in the world. First seen in a sold out run at Hampstead Theatre in 2015, the new production opened in the West End this spring, with Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll reprising their original roles as Glyndebourne founder John Christie and soprano Audrey Mildmay.

A stunning, awesome book.” —R OBIN LEE HATCHER author of Whispers from Yesterday “In her creative, fun-loving way, Liz retells the stories of the Bible. She deliv - ers a knock-out punch of conviction as she clearly illustrates the lessons of Scripture.” —L ORNA DUECK former co-host of 100 Huntley Street “The opening was a page-turner. I know that women are going to read this and look at these women of the Bible with fresh eyes.” —D EE BRESTIN author of The Friendships of Women “This book is a ‘good read’ directed straight at the ‘bad girl’ in all of us.” —E LISA MORGAN president emerita, MOPS International “With a skillful pen and engaging candor Liz paints pictures of modern sit u ations, then uniquely parallels them with the Bible’s ‘bad girls.’ She doesn’t condemn, but rather encourages and equips her readers to become godly women, regardless of the past.” —M ARY HUNT author of Mary Hunt’s Debt-Proof Living Higg_9781601428615_xp_all_r1_MASTER.template5.5x8.25 5/16/16 9:03 AM Page ii “Bad Girls is more than an entertaining romp through fascinating charac - ters.

  • The Omega Man
    The Omega Man Score Analysis by Dirk Wickenden Originally published in Legend, issue 24 (1997) The Goldsmith Film Music Society journal Text reproduced by permission of the author, Dirk Wickenden, including minor updates in 2013 THE FILM – BACKGROUND The Omega Man (1971) is based on author Richard Matheson’s classic novel I Am Legend. There had been a previously filmed version starring the late Vincent Price in 1964, an American-Italian co-production entitled THE LAST MAN ON EARTH [since publication of this article sixteen years ago, there has been a third version of the property using the book’s title, starring Will Smith but in the opinion of this writer, not as enjoyable as the Chuck Heston flick]. The Omega Man was a Warner Bros, production and starred Charlton Heston at his ultra-cool best as Robert Neville, with Anthony Zerbe (COOL HAND LUKE, THE DEAD ZONE, PAPILLON) as Matthias. Also featured were Rosalind Cash (AMAZING GRACE, TALES FROM THE HOOD) as Lisa and Paul Koslo (ROOSTER COGBURN, JOE KIDD) as Dutch. Eric Laneuville as Lisa’s brother Richie would go on to star in the television series St. Elsewhere and would go on to direct some episodes, as well as the TV movies The Mighty Pawns (featuring Rosalind Cash), and The Ernest Green Story. The film was directed by Boris Sagal, who had previously helmed GUNS OF DIABLO and the Elvis Presley starrer GIRL HAPPY and later directed the television mini-series MASADA. Production duties were handled by Walter Seltzer, who also produced the later SOYLENT GREEN, again featuring Heston.
