Pinedo, Recreational Terror,p.69. 7. Although the female equivalent of Stand By Me exists in the form of Then and Now (Lesli Linka Glatter, 1995), the film simply substitutes identical female figures for the male characters in Reiner’s film, yet notably exchanges the narrative task from the discovery of a dead body to the investigation of a suspected murder, even involving a séance in a graveyard in order to ‘feminise’ the subject matter. 8.

George Beahm also describes Carrie as ‘The Catcher in the Rye with a supernatural element’, yet unlike Salinger’s teenage protagonist, Holden Caulfield, who recognises and rejects the ‘phoniness’ of the adult world while opting out of school, Carrie’s tragedy is her naive wish to be accepted by the very world that rejects her. The Stephen King Story (London: Warner Books, 1994), p. 78. 1 Telling tales: Fairy tales and female rites of passage narratives 1. Twitchell, Dreadful Pleasures,p.7. 2. Twitchell’s view that horror cinema is essentially conservative is shared by Tony Williams who claims that while films of the 1970s were critical Notes 175 of the family, the 1980s was an ‘era pathologically affirming conservative family values’ (‘Trying to Survive on the Darker Side: 1980s Family Horror’, The Dread of Difference, p. 165), while Christopher Sharret agrees that the majority of horror films in this decade were a reactionary defence of family values and patriarchy (‘The Horror Film in Neo-Conservative Culture’, The Dread of Difference, p. 253). 3. Bettelheim, The Uses of Enchantment,p.73. 4. Not only were women the principal tale-tellers in the home, as Marina Warner has pointed out, they were also responsible for spreading stories to a wider audience. Maria Tatar asserts that while the Grimms used sources of mixed gender for their collection of tales, most were attributed to female informants, including Dorothea Viehmann, Jeanette Hassenpflug, and Dorothea Wild. The Hard Facts of the Grimms’ Fairy Tales (orig pubd 1987, 2nd edn, Princeton University Press, 2003), p. 25. In addition, while Charles Perrault remains well known for writing tales in 17th century France, a number of women were also engaged in this role, as Marina Warner and Elizabeth Wanning Harries have sought to remind us. 5. Warner, From the Beast to the Blonde, p. xix. 6. The pain inflicted on Andersen’s female characters is as curious as their redemption. See, for example, ‘The Little Mermaid’ and ‘The Red Shoes’, in which young girls are mutilated prior to being allowed into heaven. 7. This aversion to mature females has been attributed to Andersen’s homo- sexuality, as much as his religious beliefs, and a recent biography argues that promiscuous female relatives led to this antipathy, citing Andersen himself stating that girls older than 12 made him ‘shudder’. See Hans Chris- tian Andersen: A New Life by Jens Andersen (trans. Tiina Nunnally, Overlook Duckworth Press, 2005). 8. Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces (New York: Pantheon Books Inc., 1949), p. 10. 9. Warner, From the Beast to the Blonde,p.17. 10. Wanning Harris, Twice Upon a Time,p.17. 11.

In Tatar’s view ‘the facts of life seemed to have been more disturbing to the Grimms than the harsh realities of life’ – causing them to remove sexual content more readily than instances of cruelty and violence. The Hard Facts, p. 11. 20. Zipes, The Brothers Grimm, pp. 24–5. 21. Ibid., p. 25. 22. Warner, From the Beast to the Blonde, p. 207. 23. Bettelheim, The Uses of Enchantment,p.73. 24. Tatar, Off With Their Heads!, p. 141. 25. Ibid., p. 146. 176 Notes 26. Warner, From the Beast to the Blonde, p. 244. 27. In the version Tatar alludes to Red Riding Hood and her Granny survive by boiling sausage on the fire and thus enticing the wolf down the chimney and boiling him alive, while the Grimm’s appended finale has him drown outside in a trough filled with sausage water. However, in other versions of ‘Red Riding Hood’ the heroine participates in such activities as unwittingly eating her grandmother’s body and even engaging in sexual relations with the wolf, demonstrating the variations that have occurred around the story. The Hard Facts, pp. xvi, 23. For a chronological account of the tale’s transition, see Jack Zipes’ (ed.), The Trials and Tribulations of Little Red Riding Hood (London: Routledge, 2nd edn 1993). 28.

The origins of fairy godmothers and maternal spirits are instructive. In his analysis of ancient myths, Campbell has noted that supernatural aid would often come from a crone who presents an amulet or some other form of assistance (The Hero With a Thousand Faces, p. 69) and points out that her precursors are the protecting goddesses found in Greek myth (p. 71). This protection is usually given to a male hero by a female deity, yet we should not forget the importance of Demeter – who forced Zeus’s intervention in her daughter Persephone’s abduction by Hades. The relevance of the myth, and its role as a primary example of the mother-avenger, will be discussed in Chapter 6. 37. Zipes, The Brothers Grimm, pp. 137–8, 141. 38. Ibid., p. 142. 39.

    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

  • American International Pictures Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art 50th Anniversary •JO NO. 47 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES RETROSPECTIVE AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART The Department of Film of The Museum of Modern Art will present a retrospective exhibition of films from American International Pictures beginning July 26 and running through August 28, 1979. The 38 film retrospective, which coincides with the studio's 25th anniversary, was selected from the company's total production of more than 500 films, by Adrienne Mancia, Curator, and Larry Kardish, Associate Curator, of the Museum's Department of Film. The films, many in new 35mm prints, will be screened in the Museum's Roy and Niuta Titus Auditorium and, concurrent with the retro­ spective, a special installation of related film stills and posters will be on view in the adjacent Auditorium Gallery. "It's extraordinary to see how many filmmakers, writers and actors — now often referred to as 'the New Hollywood'—took their first creative steps at American International," commented Adrienne Mancia. "AIP was a good training ground; you had to work quickly and economically. Low budgets can force you to find fresh resources. There is a vitality and energy to these feisty films that capture a certain very American quality. I think these films are rich in information about our popular culture and we are delighted to have an opportunity to screen them."

  • 'Bite Me': Buffy and the Penetration of the Gendered Warrior-Hero
    Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies, Vol. 16, No. 2, 2002 ‘Bite Me’: Buffy and the penetration of the gendered warrior-hero SARA BUTTSWORTH, University of Western Australia Introduction Can the ultimate girl be the ultimate warrior? If warrior identity is simultaneously a quintessentially masculine identi er, and one of the core expressions of ‘innate’ masculinity, then the biggest transgression of warrior iconography posed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Buffy’s gender. Buffy is both like and not like ‘other girls’. The social conventions of mainstream femininity, which have so often been used to argue that women cannot be warriors, are often precisely what make Buffy such an effective soldier in her speculative world. The blurred boundaries that are possible in speculative texts open up space necessary to examine the arguments and gendered ideologies which govern what is, and what is not, possible in the ‘real’ world.
