The response has been overwhelmingly positive. FSCNow is a source of pride for our alumni, faculty, and staff. It’s proven an ideal way to celebrate our achievements and outline the College’s road ahead. Last year it served as a vehicle to recognize members of our campus community who did so much to assist local hospitals and community organizations in their efforts to combat COVID in its early days. When I arrived at Farmingdale, I pledged to be the College’s storyteller in chief. This issue includes stories, both serious and amusing, that underscore Farmingdale’s mission and success. There are over a dozen interesting stories that help us appreciate some of the people who help make Farmingdale a special place. Some spotlight our faculty; others feature notable alumni. As you would expect, many articles are focused on our students. Students are at the heart of all we do, and it shows. The College continues to thrive, even in a challenging environment.

  • TOP GUN (1986) and the Emergence of the Post-Cinematic by MICHAEL LOREN SIEGEL
    5.4 Ride into the Danger Zone: TOP GUN (1986) and the Emergence of the Post-Cinematic BY MICHAEL LOREN SIEGEL Introduction The work of British-born filmmaker Tony Scott has undergone a major critical revision in the last few years. While Scott’s tragic suicide in 2012 certainly drew renewed vigor to this reassessment, it was well underway long before his death. Already by the mid-2000s, Scott’s brash, unapologetically superficial, and yet undeniably visionary films had been appropriated by auteurists and film theorists alike to support a wide range of arguments.[1] Regardless of what we may think of the idea of using auteurism and theory to “rescue” directors who were for decades considered little more than action hacks—an especially meaningful question in the digital age, given the extent to which auteur theory’s acceptance has increased in direct proportion to the growth of online, theoretically informed film criticism—it would be difficult to deny the visual, aural, narrative, thematic, and energetic consistency of Scott’s films, from his first effort, The Hunger (1983), all the way through to his last, Unstoppable (2011). The extreme scale and artistic ambition of his films, the intensity of their aesthetic and affective engagement with Ride into the Danger Zone the present (a present defined, as they constantly remind us, by machines, mass media, masculinity, and militarization), and, indeed, the consistency of their audiovisual design and affect (their bristling, painterly flatness, the exaggerated sense of perpetual transformation and becoming that is conveyed by their soundtracks and montage, the hyperbolic and damaged masculinity of their protagonists)—all of this would have eventually provoked the kind of critical reassessment we are seeing today, even without the new mythos produced around Scott upon his death.
