LONG SUMMARY Molly Shannon plays Emily Dickinson in the dramatic comedy "​ Wild Nights with Emily​."

This film explores her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler). After Emily died, a rivalry emerged when her brother's mistress (Amy Seimetz) along with editor T.W.

INTRODUCTION "If in past summers Hollywood seemed to surrender its creative soul to the making of sequels, prequels, spinoffs, remakes and franchise films based on comic books, television series or video games, take a deep breath and prepare for the summer of 2002."1 With these words, the New York Times' Rick Lyman dubbed this past summer "the summer of the spinoff."2 Although it is most apparent in the movie theater, mass media art of all types in the United States is becoming increasingly derivative.

  • When Political Comedy Turns Personal: Humor Types, Audience Evaluations, and Attitudes
    When Political Comedy Turns Personal: Humor Types, Audience Evaluations, and Attitudes AMY B. BECKER and BETH A. HALLER Department of Mass Communication & Communication Studies, Towson University, Towson, Maryland, USA This study examines the impact of diverse comedy types on relevant political attitudes and what happens when the comedy content moves beyond the political to focus on personal attributes that are beyond a politician’s control. Using a real political case study of David Paterson, New York’s first blind and African American gov- ernor, the research measured the differential impact of exposure to self-directed and other-directed hostile humor on evaluations of comedy content, favorability ratings, perceptions of media portray- als of disability, and attitudes toward blindness. The results suggest that differential exposure to the comedy clips had an impact on attitudes toward blindness with those exposed to Paterson’s humor exhibiting more positive attitudes toward blindness than those who were exposed to Saturday Night Live’s other- directed hostile humor. KEYTERMS: disability, comedy, media, stereotype/prejudice/bias The proliferation of late-night political comedy has captured the interest of communication researchers over the course of the past decade. Recent investigations have focused on understanding how audience members process comedy, the impact of exposure on key democratic outcomes like knowledge, participation, and cynicism, and, more recently, the differential impact of exposure to varied comedy types or forms (Baumgartner & Morris, 2008; Becker, 2011, 2013; Becker, Xenos, & Waisanen, 2010; Cao & Brewer, 2008; Feldman & Young, 2008; Hoffman & Thomson, 2009; Hoffman & Young, 2011; Holbert, Hmielowski, Jain, Lather, & Morey, 2011; Nabi, Moyer-Guse, & Byrne, 2007; Xenos & Becker, 2009; Young, 2008).
