    February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In

    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

    Watchmen (Zack Snyder, 2009)

    IN FOCUS: The Long Shadows of 9/11 Science Fiction, Thrillers, and the War on Terror Introduction by WILL BROOKER, editor eptember 11, Jacques Derrida observed, had by October 2001 already become “a date or a dating that has taken over our pub- lic space and our private lives.” The very process of naming transformed the attacks of the previous month into “an event that truly marks, that truly makes its mark, a singular and . unprec- Sedented event.”1 Ten years later, the terrain has changed. It is harder now simply to repeat the mantra “9/11,” like a recurring nightmare or a conjuring spell, “over and over again as if its singularity were so absolute that it could not be matched.”2 Two important recent books on the im- pact of September 11 on fi lm and popular culture—Stephen Prince’s Firestorm and Jeff Birkenstein, Anna Froula, and Karen Randell’s Re- framing 9/11—demonstrate even in their subtitles that the single date is no longer enough to capture the complexity of the United States’ relationship with terror over the past decade, and that the black-and- white signifi er of “9/11,” its digits so neatly recalling both the phone number for US emergency services and the formerly standing tow- ers, is no longer enough to contain all the ethically gray areas within and around that opposition.3 Prince’s volume covers not just 9/11 but “American Film in the Age of Terrorism,” while Reframing 9/11 reposi- tions the once-monumental, singular date in broader terms of “Film, Popular Culture and the ‘War on Terror.’” From the cover onward, those quotation marks around “war on terror” retain a skeptical dis- tance from the Bush administration’s attempt to narrate and justify its actions in terms of military urgency.
