  • Never Forget | Page 1
    Never Forget | Page 1 Never Forget By: Jack Greiner on November 13, 2018 on graydon.law This post is admittedly out of my lane. It’s not about a legal issue or the law even. But I can’t stop watching this clip from the November 10 broadcast of Saturday Night Live. As many readers likely know, in the November 3 broadcast of SNL, Pete Davidson made a dumb joke about Republican Congressional candidate Lt. Commander Dan Crenshaw’s eye patch. Never a great idea to make fun of a person’s missing eye, but especially given that Crenshaw lost the eye to an IED while on active duty in Afghanistan. Davidson was, to put it mildly, ripped on social media, and any number of outlets. But the guy who had the real beef – Lt. Com. Crenshaw took it in stride. So much so, that he appeared on the November 10 broadcast to accept Davidson’s apology. I watched the very first broadcast of SNL in October of 1975 and I’ve watched it off and on ever since. This may be my favorite moment for a number of reasons: 1. Davidson’s apology was sincere. I’m sure he was under pressure to do it, but there was no “if I offended anyone” qualifications. He said he made a poor choice and he took full responsibility; 2. It was funny. Lt. Com. Crenshaw has tremendous timing. When his cell phone ring tone played an Ariana Grande song and he asked Davidson “do you know her?” I almost fell off my chair.

  • Make America America Again
    # 2020/26 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2020/26/make-america-america-again Spike Lees »Da 5 Bloods« über schwarze Veteranen des Vietnamkriegs Make America America Again Von Daniel Moersener Spike Lees »Da 5 Bloods« zeigt, dass Afroamerikaner nicht den Vietnamkrieg brauchten, um traumatisiert zu werden. Wenn es eine Sache an Spike Lees Vietnamkriegsfilm »Da 5 Bloods« zu bemängeln gibt, dann einzig und allein, dass ihm als Produktion von Netflix der Start im Kino versagt bleibt. Das ist freilich nicht Spike Lee selbst anzulasten, sondern der derzeitigen Mutlosigkeit Hollywoods. Diese Mutlosigkeit ist es, die nun auch Lee, wie zuvor schon Martin Scorsese, in die Arme der Streaming-Anbieter treibt. Der Kinosaal und »Da 5 Bloods«, sie hätten ­einander redlich verdient. Denn Spike Lee präsentiert sich in Bestform und springt virtuos zwischen dem Vietnam der späten Sechziger und der Gegenwart und verwebt Archivaufnahmen, digitale Aufnahmetechnik, Fotografien, Super- 8-Aufnahmen und 16mm-Film miteinander. Anstatt – apropos Scorsese – die Hauptdarsteller für Rückblenden digital verjüngen zu lassen, setzt Spike Lee sie unverändert sowohl in den Gegenwartsszenen wie auch in denen der Vergangenheit ein. Das klingt zwar gewagt, geht aber gerade deshalb als ästhetische Strategie voll auf. Die Vereinigten Staaten, so wird im Film gesagt, führten seit ihrer Gründung einen Krieg gegen sich selbst, und dieser Krieg scheine bis heute anzudauern. Drei Minuten, länger braucht Spike Lee nicht, um in der rasant montierten Eröffnungssequenz von »Da 5 Bloods« ein Panorama der Vietnamkriegsära in den USA zu entwerfen. Interviewfetzen und Statements von Muhammad Ali, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis und Malcolm X werden mit Ansprachen Lyndon B.

  • Borderline Personality Disorder: Destroying Stigma and Promoting Normalization”
    Gilbert 1 Logan Gilbert AP English 12 Mrs. Kirkpatrick January 12, 2020 “Borderline Personality Disorder: Destroying Stigma and Promoting Normalization” “BPD isn’t a real psychological disorder. It's basically a way for a shrink to say “sorry ​ you’re clinically an a**hole” [Appendix A]. The social media platform allows for public vocalization of derogatory and dehumanizing comments that perpetuate stigmas surrounding controversial mental illnesses such as borderline personality disorder (BPD). Media platforms, like Twitter, are whirlpools of blasphemous quotes (as shown above), which reinforce stigmatizing stereotypes misconstrued with mental illnesses, furthermore, misleading public conceptions concerning borderline personality disorder. The psychological definition of borderline personality is “an illness marked by an ongoing pattern of varying moods, self-image, and behavior”(NIH). “People with borderline personality disorder may experience intense episodes of anger, depression, and anxiety that can last from a few hours to days” (“Borderline 2”). The National Alliance of Mental Illnesses (NAMI) appallingly reports, an “estimated 1.4% of the adult U.S. population experiences BPD” (“Borderline 1”). Furthermore, meaning that approximately 4.6 million adults who suffer from mood shifts, anxiety, and depression, are also forced to combat the demoralizing stereotypes manifested in modern media and film. This, however, excludes the undiagnosed population, who endures opprobrium (harsh criticism) without the support of trained doctors and nurses. Psychiatrists Biskin and Paris give professional incitement concerning BPD diagnosis, elucidating the fact that “borderline personality disorder can be a difficult diagnosis because of similarities to other conditions, particularly mood disorders'' (Biskin and Paris). In general practice, accurate diagnoses are seen “in 10% of psychiatric outpatients, 20% of psychiatric inpatients, and 6% of family medicine patients” (Biskin and Paris).

  • Vigilantes, Incorporated: an Ideological Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster
    VIGILANTES, INCORPORATED: AN IDEOLOGICAL ECONOMY OF THE SUPERHERO BLOCKBUSTER BY EZRA CLAVERIE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor José B. Capino, Chair Associate Professor Jim Hansen Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky Associate Professor Robert A. Rushing Professor Frank Grady,Department of English, University of Missouri, Saint Louis ii ABSTRACT Since 2000, the comic-book superhero blockbuster has become Hollywood’s most salient genre. “Heroes, Incorporated: A Political Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster” examines these seemingly reactionary fantasies of American power, analyzing their role in transmedia storytelling for a conglomerated and world-spanning entertainment industry. This dissertation argues that for all their apparent investment in the status quo and the hegemony of white men, superhero blockbusters actually reveal the disruptive and inhuman logic of capital, which drives both technological and cultural change. Although focused on the superhero film from 2000 to 2015, this project also considers the print and electronic media across which conglomerates extend their franchises. It thereby contributes to the materialist study of popular culture and transmedia adaptation, showing how 21st century Hollywood adapts old media for new platforms, technologies, and audiences. The first chapter traces the ideology of these films to their commercial roots, arguing that screen superheroes function as allegories of intellectual property. The hero’s “brand” identity signifies stability, even as the character’s corporate owners continually revise him (rarely her).

  • Vigil and Rally Held for 16-Year Old Mikayla Miller As Community Searches for Answers Regarding Her Death by Abigail Basile News Editor
    Vol. 54 iSSUE 29 www.umassmedia.com the massUMass Boston’s independentmedia student newspaper May 10, 2021 Vigil and rally held for 16-year old Mikayla Miller as community searches for answers regarding her death By Abigail Basile News Editor On Thursday, May 6, a vigil was held for 16-year-old Mikayla Miller, a Black, LGBTQIA+ identifying girl from Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The vigil also served as a rally for those who believe not enough investigation has been conducted regarding Miller’s cause of death. Hundreds of supporters showed up to the Hopkinton Town Green, right by the Boston Marathon starting line. Supporters held signs reading “Justice for Mikayla,” and many brought flowers. Mikayla Miller’s mother, Calvina Strothers, gave an emotional speech to the crowd at the rally. She said she and her daughter were “two peas in a pod,” and criticized the lack of transparency from the Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan. “Due to the lack of urgency for some, I’ve had to not only be the grieving mother, but also put pressure on the DA, Marian Ryan, who I did not hear from until twelve days after Mikayla’s death,” said Strothers at the rally. “I don’t want to be a vigilante in this,” continued Strothers. “I don’t want to have to spend all day on the phone getting and passing along evidence in order for justice to be served. What I want is for the criminal justice system to work.” The rally was organized by Monica Cannon-Grant—the founder of Violence in Boston—and former Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson, both of whom spoke at the rally as well.
