  • During the Pandemic I've Maintained My Sanity by Completing Jigsaw
    1 During the pandemic I’ve maintained my sanity by completing jigsaw puzzles. However, they also came close to making me lose my sanity a time or two. The first one I completed was “The Day the Angels Cried.” I’ve looked for that puzzle for years and finally got it. It took me three months to put it together and at the end it was missing one piece! I wrote the company, but they didn’t have another copy of that puzzle. I was heartbroken. To make up for it they sent me the “Hometown Heroes” puzzle. It took me a couple of months to complete it. I framed it in an old barn wood frame and donated it to our local volunteer fire department for them to hang it in their firehouse or auction it off at their yearly fundraising event. Their choice. My bathroom is decorated New Orleans style, so my third puzzle was the “Bourbon Street” puzzle. It was amazingly easy! It only took me a month to complete it. I framed it in black and it’s now hanging in my bathroom. My current project is the cat puzzle. I couldn’t figure out what to work on next so I asked a dear friend if she would like a cat puzzle. The kids in her apartment complex call her “the crazy cat lady,” so I thought she might be interested, and she was. It’s been pretty difficult so far and will get much more difficult when I get to working on the black cat.

  • Ft Worth Brahmas Duff Plays a Teenager Whose Depressed Mom Packs up Her and Her Younger Sister and Moves Every Time S He Breaks up with a Boyfriend
    November 3-9, 2005 Page 25 A round entertainment guide Town NOW PLAYING Guide to the Movies Reviews by Randy Montgomery Saw II (R) Grade: B- Starring: Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Donnie Wahlberg, Erik Knudsen, Franky G By the time you pick up this issue, Halloween, 2005 will be in the books, but “Saw II” will still be playing on multiple screens at your local theater. I passed on the press screening for the sequel and missed th e opportunity to get in an early review. Although I have eagerly awaited the film, in order to get the full effect, I wanted to see the movie on Halloween weekend. My anticipation turned to disappointment. I looked bac k on my review of the original “Saw,” in which I stated the following, “Be prepared to be freaked! If you scare easily, then “Saw”is going to be like riding a roller coaster blindfolded with your hands in the air! I love horror flicks, and this one even spooked me!” (Wow, is that great writing or what?!) As I read the review, I remembered the unique sequences in the original which made it stand out from others in its genre. There were genuine thrills and chills in “Saw,” but, as so often happens with sequels, this film fails to live up to its namesake. The Jigsaw killer is back, and is playing his mind games on an entire group of people this time. He leaves their safety up to a detective (Donnie Wahlberg) who must unravel the mystery (and save his own son) from the sadistic game Jigsaw has created.

  • Negotiating the Non-Narrative, Aesthetic and Erotic in New Extreme Gore
    NEGOTIATING THE NON-NARRATIVE, AESTHETIC AND EROTIC IN NEW EXTREME GORE. A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Colva Weissenstein, B.A. Washington, DC April 18, 2011 Copyright 2011 by Colva Weissenstein All Rights Reserved ii NEGOTIATING THE NON-NARRATIVE, AESTHETIC AND EROTIC IN NEW EXTREME GORE. Colva O. Weissenstein, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Garrison LeMasters, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis is about the economic and aesthetic elements of New Extreme Gore films produced in the 2000s. The thesis seeks to evaluate film in terms of its aesthetic project rather than a traditional reading of horror as a cathartic genre. The aesthetic project of these films manifests in terms of an erotic and visually constructed affective experience. It examines the films from a thick descriptive and scene analysis methodology in order to express the aesthetic over narrative elements of the films. The thesis is organized in terms of the economic location of the New Extreme Gore films in terms of the film industry at large. It then negotiates a move to define and analyze the aesthetic and stylistic elements of the images of bodily destruction and gore present in these productions. Finally, to consider the erotic manifestations of New Extreme Gore it explores the relationship between the real and the artificial in horror and hardcore pornography. New Extreme Gore operates in terms of a kind of aesthetic, gore-driven pornography. Further, the films in question are inherently tied to their economic circumstances as a result of the significant visual effects technology and the unstable financial success of hyper- violent films.

  • Jigsaw: Torture Porn Rebooted? Steve Jones After a Seven-Year Hiatus
    Originally published in: Bacon, S. (ed.) Horror: A Companion. Oxford: Peter Lang, 2019. This version © Steve Jones 2018 Jigsaw: Torture Porn Rebooted? Steve Jones After a seven-year hiatus, ‘just when you thought it was safe to go back to the cinema for Halloween’ (Croot 2017), the Saw franchise returned. Critics overwhelming disapproved of franchise’s reinvigoration, and much of that dissention centred around a label that is synonymous with Saw: ‘torture porn’. Numerous critics pegged the original Saw (2004) as torture porn’s prototype (see Lidz 2009, Canberra Times 2008). Accordingly, critics such as Lee (2017) characterised Jigsaw’s release as heralding an unwelcome ‘torture porn comeback’. This chapter will investigate the legitimacy of this concern in order to determine what ‘torture porn’ is and means in the Jigsaw era. ‘Torture porn’ originates in press discourse. The term was coined by David Edelstein (2006), but its implied meanings were entrenched by its proliferation within journalistic film criticism (for a detailed discussion of the label’s development and its implied meanings, see Jones 2013). On examining the films brought together within the press discourse, it becomes apparent that ‘torture porn’ is applied to narratives made after 2003 that centralise abduction, imprisonment, and torture. These films focus on protagonists’ fear and/or pain, encoding the latter in a manner that seeks to ‘inspire trepidation, tension, or revulsion for the audience’ (Jones 2013, 8). The press discourse was not principally designed to delineate a subgenre however. Rather, it allowed critics to disparage popular horror movies. Torture porn films – according to their detractors – are comprised of violence without sufficient narrative or character development (see McCartney 2007, Slotek 2009).
