Goldene Himbeere Aus Wikipedia, Der Freien Enzyklopädie Goldene Himbeere aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Wechseln zu: Navigation, Suche 29. Verleihung der Goldenen Himbeere, 2009 Die Goldene Himbeere, im amerikanischen Original Golden Raspberry Award (kurz „Razzie Award―) ist ein Filmpreis, entworfen als eine Art Gegen-Oscar, der seit 1981 als Negativpreis in verschiedenen Kategorien für die jeweils schlechteste Leistung des Jahres traditionell am Abend vor der Oscar-Verleihung vergeben wird. Die Bezeichnung kommt von dem englischen Ausdruck to blow a raspberry, womit das Flattern der Lippen auf der herausgestreckten Zunge gemeint ist, wobei englisch raspberry „Himbeere“ heißt. Die „Gewinner― haben den Preis nur in den seltensten Fällen persönlich entgegengenommen: Bisher holten nur Tom Green (Freddy Got Fingered), Tom Selleck (Christopher Columbus: The Discovery), Bob Conrad (für die Fernsehserie The Wild Wild West) und Showgirls- Regisseur Paul Verhoeven ihre Himbeeren ab. Halle Berry hat in einem Interview kurz vor der Verleihung 2005 verkündet, sie würde sich ihren „Preis― auch abholen, wenn sie gewänne. Sie sagte dazu: „Wenn ich eine Himbeere bekomme, gehe ich auf jeden Fall zur Verleihung. Ich finde, wer zu den Oscars geht, sollte auch zu den Razzies kommen.“ Dieses Versprechen hielt sie und nahm im Jahre 2005 den Preis persönlich für den Film Catwoman entgegen. In ihrer „Dankesrede― nahm sie sich selbst – in Anspielung auf ihre Dankesrede bei der Oscarverleihung im Jahr 2002 – auf die Schippe. Im Jahr 2008 hat der Film Ich weiß, wer mich getötet hat mit Lindsay Lohan in der Hauptrolle die meisten goldenen Himbeeren in der Geschichte des Preises geholt. Darunter gingen drei an Lohan, unter anderem für jede ihrer Rollen eine, da sie eine Doppelrolle spielte. Julia Ormond war für eine weitere Goldene Himbeere in der Kategorie Schlechteste Nebendarstellerin nominiert. Die Preis-Statue besteht aus einer Kunststoffhimbeere, die auf eine Super-8-Filmrolle aus Aluminium geklebt ist. Das Ganze ist mit Goldfarbe überzogen. Der Materialwert lag 2007 bei 4,97 Dollar.[1] Er ist in den letzten Jahren um gut ein Viertel gestiegen, da die alten Filmrollen schwerer zu bekommen sind. Hinter dem Preis steht die von dem Cineasten John Wilson gegründete Golden Raspberry Award Foundation (G.R.A.F.), der 2007 über 750 Filmkritiker, Journalisten und Filmschaffende aus 42 US-Staaten und mehr als zwölf Ländern angehören.

    lopsided shape of the picture. It's so bulky Film and ravenous that it may have elbowed charcters out of the script and shouldered a dozen scenes out of the final cut. It's the kind of performance to which an actress's Mommie ego is obviously committed, where she puts everything she has on the line and dares the critics to hate her. The least you can say of Dearest Dunaway is that she totally inhabits the character. Her eyes appear unfocused and psychotic even in the rare moments when the character is in repose.

  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    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.

  • Green Gets Finger for Film 'T
    &6 THE 0 RIO N • APR I L 2 5, 200 1 I ! " , " ..~ Green gets finger for film 't , ~ DANA BUCHANAN ' I:i CONTHIIIIJTING WlllTlJ1l This is a warning: If you are not a huge fan of Tom Green and his MTV show, and if you have not been waiting to see him in all his complete, uncensored grotesque glory, then do not sec "Freddy Got Fingered." Tom Green wrote, directed and stars in "Freddy Got Fingered," and his signature brand of comedy is slathered all over this mm. Green plays Gord Brody, a 28-year­ old slacker who finally leaves home (to his parents elation) to attempt to become a professional animator, only to return home disappointed. Instantly the antics begin in that strange unexplainable Tom Green way. Gord just docs weird (uncomfortably weird) stuff without much rhyme or reason. If you have never before seen, or wanted to sec, someone fondle animal genitalia (horse and elephant respectively), then you might be in for a shock, to say the least. The story line of Gord wanting to be a professional animator docs seem to make perfect sense. Gord is a child in a semi­ adult's body, and drawing cartoons fits the character perfectly. Gord goes to Los Angeles to try to sell his work by breaking into the office of an animation executive (Anthony Michael Hall). This scene is relatively funny as Gord confounds security with his "weirdness" (for lack of a better word) and manages to get to the office of the head honcho. Then of course, there is a lot of Green's usual bizarre physical comedy, which makes one wonder why the exec hasn't called security yet.

  • THE MYTH of 'TERRIBLE TURK' and 'LUSTFUL TURK' Nevs
    THE WESTERN IMAGE OF TURKS FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO THE 21ST CENTURY: THE MYTH OF ‘TERRIBLE TURK’ AND ‘LUSTFUL TURK’ Nevsal Olcen Tiryakioglu A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2015 Copyright Statement This work is the intellectual property of the author. You may copy up to 5% of this work for private study, or personal, non-commercial research. Any re-use of the information contained within this document should be fully referenced, quoting the author, title, university, degree level and pagination. Queries or requests for any other use, or if a more substantial copy is required, should be directed in the owner(s) of the Intellectual Property Rights. i Abstract The Western image of Turks is identified with two distinctive stereotypes: ‘Terrible Turk’ and ‘Lustful Turk.’ These stereotypical images are deeply rooted in the history of the Ottoman Empire and its encounters with Christian Europe. Because of their fear of being dominated by Islam, European Christians defined the Turks as the wicked ‘Other’ against their perfect ‘Self.’ Since the beginning of Crusades, the Western image of Turks is associated with cruelty, barbarity, murderousness, immorality, and sexual perversion. These characteristics still appear in cinematic representations of Turks. In Western films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Midnight Express, the portrayals of Turks echo the stereotypes of ‘terrible Turk’ and ‘lustful Turk.’ This thesis argues that these stereotypes have transformed into a myth and continued to exist uniformly in Western contemporary cinema. The thesis attempts to ascertain the uniformity and consistency of the cinematic image of Turks and determine the associations between this image and the myths of ‘terrible Turk’ and ‘lustful Turk.’ To achieve this goal, this thesis examines the trajectory of the Turkish image in Western discourse between the 11th and 21st centuries.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................
