  • Gore Vidal's Caligula (1979): Denying the Author Daniel O'brien Gore
    Journal of American Studies of Turkey 35-36 (2012): 97-109 Gore Vidal’s Caligula (1979): Denying the Author Daniel O’Brien Gore Vidal’s involvement with and subsequent disownment of the film Caligula (1979) is well known. Produced in Italy and financed by Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione; it started as an ostensibly serious biopic of the infamous Roman emperor, scripted by Vidal, but ended up as a lurid blend of graphic violence and explicit sex. The focus of this article is not on Caligula itself, but an accompanying documentary, made at the time of the film’s production with Vidal’s participation. The prosaic title A Documentary on the Making of Gore Vidal’s Caligula (1981) is notable for apparently granting Vidal authorial ownership of the film. However, the content of the documentary, supervised by Guccione, subverts and questions this authorship, ultimately denying both Vidal’s entitlement to this position and the validity of the concept itself. My methodology includes debates on authorship in relation to the cinema, which have usually centered on the director and ideas of personal expression. As noted below, Vidal scorned the notion of directors as cinematic authors, or auteurs, regarding them as mere technicians who neither required nor displayed creative ability. However, A Documentary on the Making of Gore Vidal’s Caligula highlights opposing ideas of film authorship that befit further analysis. As Peter Wollen states, the concept of the auteur is linked to the French film journal Cahiers du Cinéma, which promoted the politique des auteurs during the 1950s, albeit in haphazard fashion (74, 77).

  • Interview: Francesco Vezzoli
    Financial Times: 'Antidotes to Absurdity', by Rachel Spence, August 28th 2015 Interview: Francesco Vezzoli The Italian artist and film-maker on his ‘obsession’ with truth and the connection between sexuality, art and capitalism Generally, videos are a cross that art-lovers have to bear. Most are too long and pretentious, made by practitioners who would never have survived were they obliged to use a less generous medium such as paint or marble. So it was with a heavy heart that I pushed open the curtain that shielded Francesco Vezzoli’s film at the 2005 Venice Biennale. Six minutes later, I was reeling. For “Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal’s ‘Caligula’ ” was a hilarious riff on Bob Guccione’s 1979 movie Caligula. Disavowed by Vidal, the original screenwriter, Caligula had been panned by critics as a piece of hard-porn kitsch masquerading as a feature film. Vezzoli had made a trailer for a movie that didn’t exist inspired by one that was never what it pretended to be. Furthermore, he had scooped up Hollywood stars, including Helen Mirren — who had also appeared in Guccione’s film — Milla Jovovich and Benicio del Toro. Vidal himself intoned the introduction. Courtney Love popped up in a cameo as Caligula. Not only was it far more engaging than most artists’ films, the logistics were baffling. How did Vezzoli persuade his all-star cast to participate? Mirren is a busy woman. Vidal was no pushover. “Sincerity and flowers!” Vezzoli replies when I ask him, 10 years later, how he had convinced such legends to work with him.

  • Steve Smith's Eye on Innovation: Just How Much Is "New Media" Actually Media? News Aggregation Apps and Major Media Brands No Longer Have Guns Pointed at Their Heads
    July 20, 2015 Media Industry Newsletter Vol. 68 No. 28 New York, N.Y. www.minonline.com Steve Smith's Eye on Innovation: JUST HOW MUCH IS "NEW MEDIA" ACTUALLY MEDIA? News aggregation apps and major media brands no longer have guns pointed at their heads. Apple News isn't going to be eating anyone’s lunch, killing any rivals or becom- ing content monopoly. The open beta of iOS 9 dropped last week and, with it, a preview of the aggregation app Apple announced last month. Like the Maps and Music apps before it, News enters a familiar content category with the prospect of displacing established endemics like Google or Spotify, respectively. In this case, Apple News is most clearly like Flipboard in style and approach but also similar to Facebook in hoping partners will create enhanced experiences that live on their third party platforms. These aggre- gators promise greater reach to readers who don’t want to install and launch too many branded media apps in order to catch up on their range of interests. Mobile platforms, especially, seem to have revived the portal approach to digital news gathering that died nearly a decade ago on the Web.

  • Women on Pornography Research on the Influence of Sexuai Media, Such As Playbov and Penthouse Magazines, on Female Identity
    "Playboy Isn't Playing," TAKE BACK An Interview with Judith Bat-Ada THE Laura Lederer NIGHT Judith Bat-Ada has earned a doctorate in Mass Media and Speech Communications at Case Western Reserve University. She has conducted Women on Pornography research on the influence of sexuai media, such as Playbov and Penthouse magazines, on female identity. Her work revolves around trends in pornography, changes in the portrayal of females and female sexuality in the industry, and the effect of those changes on Edited by Laura Lederer women and men. She has focused on big pornography producers like Hugh Hefner, Bob Guccione, and Larry Flynt, examining their use of advertising techniques, slick tricks, and cartoons to break down sexual taboos and to further exploit and objectify women. Laura Lederer f/Xj; Judy, what kind of work areyou doing? Judith Bat-Ada (JB): We have placed what we call the Play boy genre in a systems-analysis perspective, viewing it not as a collection of disjointed "girlie magazines," but rather as an in tegrated whole. We have been examining the evolution of the so-called soft-core pornography, whose images pervade the media—from the 1950's "38D" fantasy to the present trend toward pedophilia (the view and use of children as sexual objects). Our analysis has revealed a "hidden agenda" which is different from the overtly expressed aims and goals of the particular pornographic magazines. Playboy's successive manip ulations and distortions of the image of women typifies the pornography-conditioning process. As the most influential and pioneering magazine of its kind, it laid the groundwork for the whole media sexploitation movement which we are in the midst of right now.
