FILMS CITED………………………………………………………………….29 1. INTRODUCTION Jennifer’s Body, released in 2009, is a teen horror film directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody. It stars Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, playing Jennifer, the archetypal popular girl, and Anita “Needy,” her co-dependent best friend, respectively. Jennifer is a manipulative and overly sexual teenager who, as the result of a satanic ritual, is possessed by a demon and starts devouring her male classmates. Knowing that her friend is a menace, Needy decides she has to stop her. The marketing strategy behind Jennifer’s Body capitalized on Megan Fox’s emerging status as a sex symbol after her role in Transformers (dir. Michael Bay, 2007), as can be seen in the promotional poster (see fig. 1) and in the official trailer, in which Jennifer is described as the girl “every guy would die for.” The movie, which was a flop at the time of its release (grossing only $31.6 million worldwide for a film made on a $16 million Figure 1: Promotional poster budget) was criticised by some reviewers for not giving its (male) audience what it promised.

CMC Senior Theses. 2230. https://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/2230 This Open Access Senior Thesis is brought to you by Scholarship@Claremont. It has been accepted for inclusion in this collection by an authorized administrator. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 Claremont McKenna College Why Hollywood Isn’t As Liberal As We Think And Why It Matters Submitted to Professor Jon Shields by Amanda Daily for Senior Thesis Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 April 29, 2019 2 3 Abstract Hollywood has long had a reputation as a liberal institution. Especially in 2019, it is viewed as a highly polarized sector of society sometimes hostile to those on the right side of the aisle. But just because the majority of those who work in Hollywood are liberal, that doesn’t necessarily mean our entertainment follows suit. I argue in my thesis that entertainment in Hollywood is far less partisan than people think it is and moreover, that our entertainment represents plenty of conservative themes and ideas. In doing so, I look at a combination of markets and artistic demands that restrain the politics of those in the entertainment industry and even create space for more conservative productions. Although normally art and markets are thought to be in tension with one another, in this case, they conspire to make our entertainment less one-sided politically.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • The Philadelphia Inquirer
    The Philadelphia Inquirer September 10, 2009 “From Toronto to glory” The 34th International Film Festival, starting today, is where Oscar-eager flicks debut - among them, a searing doc about the Barnes Foundation. By Steven Rea Inquirer Movie Columnist and Critic Starting tonight with the world premiere of Creation, a movie about naturalist Charles Darwin starring Paul Bettany, and closing a week from Saturday with Young Victoria, with Emily Blunt as Britain's mighty monarch, the 34th Toronto International Film Festival promises 271 features and more than 500 filmmakers and red-carpet-treading stars. (Most of the 271 films are not about historic 19th-century Englishfolk.) An epic collision of studio releases with Oscar ambitions, of titles from Europe and Asia, Africa and the Americas, Down Under and Up There (Iceland, Scandinavia), TIFF09 boasts the latest from Pedro Almodóvar (Broken Embraces, with Penélope Cruz), the Coen brothers (A Serious Man), and documentarian Michael Moore (Capitalism: A Love Story). George Clooney will be there to talk up Up in the Air, and Megan Fox will pose provocatively as she unveils her hip horror exercise Jennifer's Body (scripted by Juno's Diablo Cody). Of particular interest to Philadelphia-area residents, and art lovers the world over, is Don Argott's The Art of the Steal, a conspiracy theory- documentary about the Barnes collection and its controversial move from Merion to a new site on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Although the film will have its world premiere Saturday at North America's biggest and most prestigious festival, The Art of the Steal was screened for a handful of critics in New York last week.

  • IN FOCUS: Cripping Cinema and Media Studies
    IN FOCUS: Cripping Cinema and Media Studies Introduction by ROBERT MCRUER, editor n 1985, the historian Paul Longmore identifi ed the conver- gence of disability and media as one long process of “screening stereotypes.”1 Attentive to the ways disabled people were con- sistently represented in fi lm, in particular, as either angry and evil villains or inspirational fi gures for able-bodied characters and Iviewers, Longmore initiated what might be understood as a “crip” tradition of critiquing, from within disability culture, the impover- ished representations that dominant fi lmic and media forms have bequeathed us. Disabled villains like Captain Hook or Magneto are generally defeated and eliminated at fi lm’s end, whereas inspirational fi gures tend either to “overcome” their disability or to end up dead after dutifully changing for the better the lives of everyone around them. Neither fi lmic tendency, of course, could off er more than a two-dimensional engagement with disability, although Longmore did note the promise for a more textured engagement with disability that attended other visual forms, including television and even advertising. Crip theory has emerged over the past few decades as a critical project, closely allied with queer theory, that centers atypical bod- ies, minds, and behaviors while interrogating that which can never be contained or described neatly by an entirely historical and limited abled-disabled binary. As a noun or adjective, “crip” is of course a fl amboyant reclamation, one that disabled activists, artists, and theorists have long used to signify solidarity and resistance far in excess of the mobility impairment seemingly invoked by stigma- tizing and pitying uses of “cripple.”2 As a verb, as I have suggested 1 Paul Longmore, “Screening Stereotypes: Images of Disabled People,” Social Policy 16 (Summer 1985): 31.
