This book studies American science fiction films depicting invasions of the USA and Earth by extra- terrestrials within the context of imperialism from 1950-2020. It shows how such films imagine America and its allies as objects of colonial control. This trope enables filmmakers to explore the ethics of American interventionism abroad either by defending the status quo or by questioning interventionism. The study shows how these films comment on American domestic hegemonic practices regarding racial or gender hierarchies, as well as hegemonic practices abroad. Beginning with the Cold War consensus in the 1950s, the study shows how hegemony at home and abroad promotes division in the culture.

This book explores early new critical debates about intention, tracing how and why intention was dismissed across much humanities scholarship, and how it can be revisited and made relevant as a key formative, evaluative, and ethical concept. The author argues that the academic disinterest in intention occurred simultaneously as genre criticism and later the rhetorical interest in genre came into its own. Genre became a way to simultaneously elide and naturalize intention. The book elaborates on the pedagogical, ethical, and empirical consequences naturalizing intention through genre has had for rhetorical studies and it offers a new term, ¿curations¿ to identify discursive forms, actions, and intentions working simultaneously. Finally, he also examines the gap between the humanities and STEM fields and shows specific ways scientists and engineers have called for the humanities to become more invested in intention as both a critical and an operational concept. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of discourse studies and critical discourse analysis, rhetoric and professional communication, including those in fields such as medicine, engineering, STS and business studies.

Frank J. Wetta and Martin A. Novelli's Abraham Lincoln and Women in Film investigates how depictions of women in Hollywood motion pictures helped forge the myth of Lincoln. Exploring female characters' backstories, the political and cultural climate in which the films appeared, and the contest between the moviemakers' imaginations and the varieties of historical truth, Wetta and Novelli place the women in Lincoln's life at the center of the study, including his mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln; his stepmother, Sarah Bush Lincoln; his lost loves, Ann Rutledge and Mary Owens; and his wife and widow, Mary Todd Lincoln. Later, while inspecting Lincoln's legacy, they focus on the 1930s child actor Shirley Temple and the 1950s movie star Marilyn Monroe, who had a well-publicized fascination with the sixteenth president. Wetta and Novelli's work is the first to deal extensively with the women in Lincoln's life, both those who interacted with him personally and those appearing on screen. It is also among the first works to examine how scholarly and popular biography influenced depictions of Lincoln, especially in film.

Australian Western in the Fifties: Kangaroo, Hopalong Cassidy on Tour, and Whiplash looks at Australian Westerns from three points of view-film, personal appearance, and television at the beginning, middle, and end of the 1950s, the American Western's golden age. It looks at three significant but "e;forgotten"e; cases: (1) Kangaroo: The Australian Story, the first Technicolor film made in Australia, produced by the Hollywood movie studio 20th Century Fox, directed by the Academy Award-winning filmmaker Lewis Milestone, starring Maureen O'Hara, Peter Lawford, and Richard Boone. (2) The successful goodwill tour of Australia by the Hollywood actor William Boyd who played the film, radio, and television cowboy Hopalong Cassidy. (3) The British-American produced black-and-white TV series Whiplash, made in Australia and starring the Hollywood actor Peter Graves. The American filmmakers' ignorance of Australia meant they learned the hard way there was more to Australian Westerns than simply replacing the prairie with the bush, bison with kangaroos, and Native Americans with Aboriginals. Indeed, the depiction of place and the presentation of Aboriginal culture are two of the most intriguing aspects of Australian Westerns. In retelling the filmmakers' stories, a unique picture of the Australian film and television industry and everyday life during the 1950s is revealed.

WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT "NOTHING" In the summer of 1989, aspiring 20 year old filmmaker, Rolfe Kanefsky began production on his first independent film, a horror/comedy entitled, "There's Nothing Out There". Despite the fact he was majoring in film at Hampshire College at the time, his college advisers did not want to give Rolfe any credit for making a "horror" movie because they had no respect for the genre and point-blank told him upon reading his original screenplay, "You're not going to learn anything from making this film." Rolfe was annoyed to say the least and after shooting, he wanted to prove to his college that he had learned quite a lot and thus began the writing of this book. Although it started as an assignment to get college credit, Rolfe decided to write his (mis)adventures aimed at other aspiring young filmmakers to show how he pulled it off at such a young age. Starting by giving a bit of perspective of what got him interested in making movies, Rolfe devoted much of the book to explaining the whole process of writing the script, find the money, pre-production, production stories, and all the post-production work it takes to completing a feature length film shot on Super 16mm in the late 1980s. The first pass at this book ended with the completion of the film and the hope to find a distribution deal. Rolfe did get some credit for all of his work from his college but never officially graduated. Anyway, ten years later, Rolfe and some of his friends decided to put the book on-line for a while so at the age of 30, Rolfe, now a working independent filmmaker in Hollywood, California, updated the book to continue the story of what happened to "There's Nothing Out There" from 1990-2000. Upon finally making a deal with Bear Manor Publishing in 2023, Rolfe once more updated the book to conclude (as of now) the last 23 years of "Nothing" from the perspective of a now "seasoned" filmmaker of 54 years of age with over 80 produced movies. Adding hundreds of photos, this tale now tells the story of a little film that became a "cult classic" and a footnote in the horror genre which may have inspired the Meta-universe six years before "Scream" and later "Cabin In The Woods". But that is something you can judge for yourself upon reading this book and hopefully watching the film as well. As a bonus, this book also includes Rolfe's unproduced sequel called, "There's STILL Nothing Out There". Since the passage of 35 years has made it impossible to produce this script in his opinion, Rolfe thought it might be fun for those interested to be able to see how the story might have continued. Now, this doesn't rule out that he may make another sequel one of these days and in fact, he does have a new script but that's another story for another time in another publication.

The 1930s, 40s and 50s were the heyday of the boxing film, attracting some of the biggest stars of the time - including Errol Flynn, James Cagney, Kirk Douglas and Paul Newman - and some of the best directors. Yet it is a genre that has received little critical attention apart from a few films singled out because they can be categorised as 'film noir'. It would be easy to assume, therefore, that the typical boxing film of this period was a dark melodrama with the tragic and doomed figure of the boxer at its centre, but that gives a false picture of a genre that included comedies and costume dramas among its 130-plus films. Sucker Punch invites the reader to take a wider look at the scope and breadth of the genre by providing a detailed discussion of 20 boxing films - a selection from each decade - from Hollywood and British studios. Some, such as Body and Soul, have become part of the established 'canon' of Film Studies, while lighter fare, such as Ringside Maisie or Gentleman Jim, have been overlooked by the critics but are worthy of re-examination - not simply because they are enjoyable films in their own right, but also because they offer insights into social attitudes of the times. The book draws on contemporary sources, such as trade-paper film reviews, as well as modern academic criticism, to build a highly readable account of the development of the boxing genre and its narrative conventions.

"Beard writes to impress and succeeds in spades. His pounding, persuasive prose treats readers with respect, blasting out cinematic and socio-political references by the fistful, trusting you to either keep up or keep a notepad nearby. The quartet of films discussed at length herein aren't whining for unconditional love; like the neglected children that populate them, they demand-sometimes violently-our attention. Viewed through the personal lens of an intelligent, articulate, and passionate fan, we absorb their impact on an entire generational stripe who were at once shaped and reflected by them." -Aaron Christensen, HORROR 101 with Dr. AC In 1980, the U.S. elected an actor to the White House; Hollywood icon Ronald Reagan landed the world's leading role. While most of America celebrated, a white-hot rage simmered just out of sight. In 1982, a B-movie named Class of 1984 appeared in theaters. A vicious reworking of Blackboard Jungle, here was a film for the new America: a punishing wasteland of burnouts and punks, of rampaging youth and swift violence, where greed was rewarded and virtue disdained. Next came Bad Boys, The Outsiders, and Repo Man. As each attempted to diagnose this endemic of disaffected, angry young men, the subtext was clear: America had failed its youth. Children were paying the price for every adult sin. Ben Beard, author of The South Never Plays Itself, grew up on these films. He returns to them now, revealing common threads and hidden patterns. With insight, empathy, and humor, Beard analyzes how these disparate works have come together to form a lattice, a warning, a clarion call, and a potential salve for the still-tender wounds of youth. Equal parts memoir, cultural history, and cinematic excavation, as well as a pop-culture odyssey into early 1980s Americana-a land of guns, gangs, drugs, and the occult-The Bad Class attempts to understand the present by returning to the past, by probing this raw sliver of cinephilia, when a different plague was raging, the culture was sick, and the best films were trash.

«This fascinating study of gesture makes an original contribution to film studies through the persuasive insights it offers into the significance of gesture in its different manifestations in post-New Wave cinema. Meticulous analysis of an eclectic choice of examples and compelling meditations on wider questions of social conditioning, human memory and gender make this book essential reading.»(Dr Albertine Fox, Senior Lecturer in French Film, University of Bristol)Since the invention of cinema in the late nineteenth century, gesture has been a central preoccupation and source of innovation for early film pioneers and avant-garde filmmakers. A non-verbal form of expression and communication characterised by movement, gesture is a key theoretical concept in film analysis that raises crucial questions about the medium specificity of cinema. This book uses an interdisciplinary and intermedial approach to read gesture in terms of its interplay with film technology and its relations with the visual and performing arts.The author examines the aesthetics of gesture in a selection of films made during a complex historical and cultural period marked by the disintegration of the French New Wave, the uprisings of May 1968 and the decline of postwar economic prosperity. The book offers an in-depth study of the works of major and often under-explored French and Francophone filmmakers, artists, writers and intellectuals, including Chantal Akerman, Fernand Deligny, Jean-Luc Godard, Pierre Klossowski, Anne-Marie Miéville, Georges Perec, Bernard Queysanne, Jacques Rivette, Renaud Victor and Pierre Zucca. While revitalising the expression of gesture in modern sound cinema, their films developed radical ways of representing and revealing the impact of sociocultural conditioning on the body.

The contributors are: ¿ Larry Blamire - film historian and cult filmmaker of Sony's The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra¿ Justin Humphreys - Rondo Award-winning The Doctor Phibes Companion, George Pal: Man of Tomorrow¿ Tracy Mercer - Host, My Favorite Shtty Movie podcast¿ Mike Peros - José Ferrer: Success and Survival, Dan Duryea: Heel with a Heart, film critic for Noho Arts District¿ Steven Peros - Giant Bug Cinema, film historian, screenwriter of Peter Bogdanovich's The Cat's Meow¿ Brian R. Solomon - Godzilla FAQ Each chapter contains the unique voice, vast memory bank, and idiosyncratic sense of humor of its distinctly mad author. These are all movies you may have watched many times and yet each one of these writers will make you see them in a way you had not seen them before. As with Giant Bug Cinema, the book explores this arena up until the accepted end of the "Monster Kid Era" - 1968 (although we did sneak in one worthy retro entry from 1969 because it was too enjoyable to resist). But rest assured, plans are afoot to bring our readers second volumes of both Giant Bug Cinema and Giant Beast Cinema, which will take readers into the gonzo 1970's, 1980's and beyond. You will step way from Giant Beast Cinema with a new level of appreciation for giant beasts you only thought you knew. But then again, can one ever really know a killer shrew?
