Hollywood and the Hero
Hollywood and the Hero: Solving a Case of Mistaken Identity by Shannan Palma English 167 Professor Lunsford 18 March 2004 SOURCE: Andrea A. Lunsford, Book Companion Site for The Everyday Writer Palma 1 Outline Thesis statement: Recent films strongly suggest that the hero of the twenty-first century will most likely appear not as a Hollywood star or a mythical manifestation but as a combination of mortal and machine--in short, a cyborg. I. Originally relying on earlier heroes from the realms of myth and history, Hollywood studios gradually developed a system for transforming actors into star- heroes. A. Moviegoers began to identify a favorite hero-character with the particular actor who played him or her. B. The studios recognized the financial possibilities of the mass idolization of a commercialized hero and set out to manufacture this “product” efficiently. 1. The persona that a studio developed to turn an actor into a star was the only public identity that actor was allowed to have. 2. Early examples of the star-hero included Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. II. As the studio system disintegrated in the 1950s and 1960s, and the stars lost the publicity shield it had provided, the problems of stardom became obvious to the public. A. Films from this period show that the movie industry was self-mockingly aware of its pitfalls. 1.Sunset Boulevard showed what happened when a hero-image was no longer popular and the system abandoned the star it had made. SOURCE: Andrea A. Lunsford, Book Companion Site for The Everyday Writer Palma 2 2.A StarStar Is Born showed how the system created a perfect image and forced a human being to become it.

HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

Lars and the Real Girl. Dir. Craig Gillespie
CRITICAL DISABILITY DISCOURSES/ DISCOURS CRITIQUES DANS LE CHAMP DU HANCIAP 7 162 Film Review: Lars and the Real Girl. Dir. Craig Gillespie. USA: MGM, 2007. Reviewed by Michael G. Miceli, Critical Disability Studies, York University Lars and the Real Girl is Australian Craig Gillespie’s directorial debut. Ryan Gosling (Half-Nelson Academy Award nominee) plays the title character of Lars, a hyper- sensitive church-going small-town office worker (the film is shot in the wintry Toronto, Ontario suburbs of Uxbridge and King Township). Lars isolates himself from interacting with other people. This includes his brother Gus (Paul Schneider) and sister-in-law Karin (Emily Mortimer) who try desperately to include him in family activities; and from an office colleague Margo (Kelli Garner) who has romantic feelings for him. Still grieving from the loss of his parents many years ago and living in the garage next to Gus and Karin’s house, Lars subsequently orders online and falls in love with a full size, solid- body anatomically correct plastic sex doll whom he introduces to everyone as his “girlfriend”, an orphaned Brazilian missionary named Bianca. Lars and the Real Girl is actually a much better movie than the above synopsis would suggest as Lars’ situation elicits sympathy and understanding from the other characters instead of fear and revulsion surrounding his “delusion”. The film’s approach in presenting Lars’ psychiatric disability is refreshing as it touches upon the social pressures brought to bear on individuals who are perceived as “different” from the “norm” instead of the typical cinematic portrayal of a psychiatric disability as a highly negative and stigmatizing attribute that overshadows an individual’s entire identity.
