  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • 1. Will Learn How to Analyze Historical Narratives
    History 308/708, RN314/614, TX849 Religious Thought in America Fall Term, 2018 MWF: 1:25-2:15 Jon H. Roberts Office Hours: Mon. 3-5, Tues. 9-10, Office: 226 Bay State Road, Room 406 and by appointment 617-353-2557 (O); 781-209-0982 (H) [email protected] Course Description: Few concepts have proved more difficult to define than religion, but most students of the subject would agree that religious traditions commonly include rituals and other practices, aesthetic and emotional experiences, and a body of ideas typically expressed as beliefs. This course focuses on those beliefs during the course of American history from the first English colonial settlement to the present and on their interaction with the broader currents of American culture. Theology is the term often used to describe the systematic expression of religious doctrine. It is clearly possible, however, to discuss religious beliefs outside the context of formal theology, and it is at least arguable that some of the most influential beliefs in American history have received their most vivid and forceful expressions beyond the purview of theological discourse. Accordingly, while much of our attention in this course will focus on the works of theologians and clergy--the religious “professionals”--we shall also deal with religious strategies that a widely disparate group of other thinkers (e.g., scientists, artists, and other influential lay people) have deployed in attempting to account for the nature of the cosmos, the structure of the social order, and the dynamics of human experience. Most of the people whom we’ll be studying were committed proponents of Christianity or Judaism, but the course lectures and readings will also occasionally move outside of those traditions to include others.

  • Survey of Contemporary Horror Fiction Kendyll Clark Summer II 2006
    Clark 1 Survey of Contemporary Horror Fiction Kendyll Clark Summer II 2006 Clark 2 Introduction What scares you? Fear manifests in many different ways for every being on this earth. However diverse these horrific episodes may be, there is one universal element common to every human experience: We all have fears. One avenue through which we can explore, identify and even vicariously experience our most primal fears is through horror fiction. H.P. Lovecraft said: The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as literary form (www.quotationspage.com). Coupled with Lovecraft's fear of the unknown is the fear of any threat to our fragile mortality, fear of anything that may potentially cause physical harm to our being. This is a phobia innate to every person. The most precious and frail endowment of human existence is our ability to sustain and promote our humanity. When this gift is threatened in any way, shape or form, a fear is created. There are several ways through which we can more concretely define these fears, subcategories to the dread of any danger to our delicate subsistence. For example, fear of the unexplained. This phobia can be defined as dread of that which we cannot rationalize with existing or obtainable evidence. Another is the fear of the unseen. This phobia could be described as fright of something that is intangible or concealed.

  • Horror Goes Beyond What Most People Think of When They Hear the Term – Unnecessary and Overabundance of Killing, Gore, Or Even “Torture Porn”
    Horror goes beyond what most people think of when they hear the term – unnecessary and overabundance of killing, gore, or even “torture porn”. Unfortunately, for most, this concept of horror stems mostly from film. However, horror in literature goes far beyond this. Horror can be seen as art, commentary on society, a form that brings about community, shows the face of humanity, as history, and yes, a good scare and lingering disturbance. What is horror? - Concept of horror o Not just fear, but strong fear o Horror differs per individual ▪ Known vs. unknown • One of H.P. Lovecraft's most famous quotes about the genre is that: "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” ▪ Seen vs. hidden ▪ Fight vs. flight ▪ Fear or anxiety - Why/how do we experience horror? o Different aspects of horror o Literary theories of horror ▪ Rejection of filth / unclean (Kosher) / bodily fluids • Carnivore vs. herbivore ▪ We are “above” that which has been rejected and abjected (objective vs. subjective) ▪ Freud / Marx / Feminism ▪ Mother – birth, menstruation, Oedipus ▪ Expulsion of sin - Why do we enjoy horror? [The paradox] - Evolution of horror o Culture / history o Literature ▪ From the epic poem to the classic to the schlock to the ??? • Epic of Gilgamesh and mythology • Holy books • Beowulf • The Monk • Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Poe ▪ Horror as a new genre - Horror in books classified as horror o Divine Comedy – Dante Aligheri (14th century) o Doctor Faustus – Christopher Marlowe (1592) o The Monk – Matthew Gregory Lewis (1796) o Frankenstein – Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1818) o Tales of Mystery and Imagination – Edgar Allan Poe (1838) o Dr.

    A NOTE TO READERS: This is an uncorrected page proof. Please note that any #1 New York Times bestselling author of THE EXORCIST quotations for review must be checked against the finished book. o reads the dedication of William Peter Blatty’s “For those who have SFinding Peter, a deeply moving memoir that FINDING PETER PETER FINDING William Peter Blatty tests the bounds of grief, love, and the soul. Blatty, lost a loved one to the bestselling author and Oscar Award–winning that liar and fraud screenwriter of The Exorcist, lived a charmed life among the elite stars of Hollywood. His son named Death.” Peter, born over a decade after The Exorcist, grew from an apple-cheeked boy into an “imposing young man with a quick, warm smile.” But when Peter died very suddenly from a rare disorder, Blatty’s world turned upside down. As he and his wife struggled through their unrelenting grief, a series of strange and supernatural events began occurring—and Blatty became convinced that Peter was sending messages from the afterlife. A true and unabashedly personal story, Finding Peter will shake the most cynical of readers—and it will remind those in grief that our loved ones do truly live on. WILLIAM PETER BLATTY is the bestselling author of The Exorcist, which he turned into an Academy Award–winning screenplay. Blatty lives with his wife, Julie, in Bethesda, Maryland.
