  • Year in Film 2007 by Jim Mcmanus
    The Year in Film 2007 By Jim McManus An abusive customer… he wants his steak really rare… and there's chef Catherine Zeta Jones with a raw piece of meat on a butcher's fork. "YOU WANT IT RARE?!" (she emphasizes by slamming fork and meat on the table.) Cut to therapy… hey look, it's Bob Balaban talking to CZJ about anger issues… cut to the car accident. Niece Abigail Breslin says "bye-bye" (crash)… now unmarried, kidless CZJ has a kid and babysitting issues. The babysitter is a goth freak; boy that's both funny and likely – good thing sitting agencies never screen anybody. CZJ is a world-class chef, but serves Miss Breslin a big fish head on a plate (oh, yeah, that's both funny and likely, too)… cut to Bob: "have you tried 'fish sticks'?". CZJ: "I can't believe I'm paying for this." Right with you, sister. Oh, and somewhere in there, Bob eats CZJ's marvelous cooking (guessing she didn't prepare him a big fish head)… cut to new rival chef Aaron Eckhart… cat-fight hint, and then they work together. CZJ cuts a menu 60/40: "you make those dishes". Eckhart: "your half is bigger". Ah, menu envy (funny and likely!)… cheesy music, some voice-over about relationships… raining outside, Abigail Breslin says "Men!" disgustedly (funny and likely!) It's soooooo cute when precocious preteens are relationship- savvy… final cut to Aaron and CZJ alone with wine and a fireplace – uh oh, they're going to KISS – but as CZJ sleepily leans in, Eckhart points out she's on his sweater.

DESCRIPTORS Audience Awareness; Children; Content Analysis; *Programming (Broadcast); *Sexuality; Television Research; *Television Viewing; *Youth IDENTIFIERS Context Dependence; *Sexual Attitudes ABSTRACT Media portrayals involving sexuality can contribute to the sexual socialization of young people. If television is an important sourceof information and potential influence about sex for young people, then obviously it is important to understand the nature and extentof sexual information that is being conveyed by television. This report contains findings from a study which represents an effort to overcome thelimitations of previous content-based projects that have been relatively narrowin scope and modest in size, limiting the generalizability of the findings--this new study provides a complete and comprehensive examination of sexual messages found across the overall television environment. Following anintroduction, the report is divided into these sections: Description of Methods; Presence of Sexual Messages; Types of Talk about Sex; Types of SexualBehaviors; Messages Involving Sexual Risks or Responsibilities; FurtherContextual Elements in Scenes with Sexual Intercourse; Comparing Patterns ofSexual Content across Program Genres; Sexual Messages Involving Teenagers;Sexual Messages in Prime-Time Network Programming; Sexual Messages inChildren's Programming; and Summary and Conclusions.

  • Television Reviews
    Page 97 TELEVISION REVIEWS Sympathy for the Devil? Appropriate Adult (ITV 1, September 2011) Not much feted previously for the quality of its dramas (unless it was by fans of outlandish psycho thrillers about the perils of adultery), ITV has recently been enjoying a renaissance in quality that has made even the BBC sit up and take notice, as witnessed by last­year’s much hyped Downtown Abbey / Upstairs Downstairs face­off (the enjoyably preposterous Downtown Abbey walked away with all the prizes and plaudits). However, producing a drama based on events surrounding one of the most notorious crime stories of the 1990s – the serial killing exploits of gruesome twosome Fred and Rosemary West – was always going to be a rather more delicate proposition than assembling an assortment of noted Thesps in a stately home and letting them get on with talking ponderously about how “War changes things...” Let’s face it, the serial killer biopic is a particularly debased format, as epitomised most vividly in the distasteful antics of the now defunct (but much lamented, at least until its partial reincarnation as Palisades/Tartan) Tartan Metro company, which was a respectful and intelligent distributor of international and hard­to­get genre films but which also helped bankroll three particularly regrettable movies of this type. These were; the sordid, workmanlike Ed Gein (2000), the deeply offensive (on many levels) Ted Bundy (2003) – which actually sound­tracked a montage sequence depicting Bundy’s peripatetic assaults on dozens of young women with comedy music and the supposedly “hilarious” sound of his victims being hit on the head – and the equally repugnant The Hillside Strangler (2006).
