Fairytale and Gothic Horror: Uncanny Transformations in Film
by Laura HubnerThis book explores the idiosyncratic effects generated as fairytale and gothic horror join, clash or merge in cinema. Identifying long-held traditions that have inspired this topical phenomenon, the book features close analysis of classical through to contemporary films. It begins by tracing fairytale and gothic origins and evolutions, examining the diverse ways these have been embraced and developed by cinema horror. It moves on to investigate films close up, locating fairytale horror, motifs and themes and a distinctively cinematic gothic horror. At the book’s core are recurring concerns including: the boundaries of the human; rational and irrational forces; fears and dreams; ‘the uncanny’ and transitions between the wilds and civilization. While chronology shapes the book, it is thematically driven, with an interest in the cultural and political functions of fairytale and gothic horror, and the levels of transgression or social conformity at the heart of the films.
Faith in Time: The Life of Jimmy Scott
by David RitzBorn in Cleveland in 1925, "Little" Jimmy Scott lost his mother at age thirteen, the same year he was diagnosed with Kallman's syndrome. The disease stunted his growth and earned him his nickname, but it also left him with a haunting voice, a mesmerizing voice. He soon built a following as a singer touring with Lionel Hampton's great orchestra in the '40s, then performed with many of the stars of the '50s, from Lester Young to Charlie Parker to Dinah Washington, and was signed by Savoy Records. He thought he had his big break when, in 1962, Ray Charles produced what was by all accounts Jimmy's best work, Falling in Love Is Wonderful. But when it was forced off the shelves by contract disputes, Scott worked as an orderly and clerk in Cleveland for almost two decades. Fans thought he was dead-until songwriter Doc Pomus's funeral in March of 1991.<P><P> As Pomus had instructed in his will, Jimmy sang over his friend's coffin. High-pitched and androgynous, his voice seemed to come out of thin air, transcending gender and age, evoking pure heartbreak. No one knew who he was-heads turned, celebrities conferred, record executives were reduced to tears-until finally Lou Reed turned around and whispered, "He's Jimmy Scott, the greatest jazz singer in the world." And so he was. By the next morning, he had a record deal with Sire that relaunched his career with the masterpiece All the Way, and he has been performing to packed clubs ever since. With full cooperation from Jimmy, his siblings, spouses, and colleagues from Ray Charles to Ruth Brown, Faith in Time is at once an intimate biography, an invaluable history of a life that spanned big band to bebop to pop, and the poignant story of a man whose voice will live forever.

Fake News: Separating Truth from Fiction
by Michael MillerWhile popularized by President Donald Trump, the term "fake news" actually originated toward the end of the 19th century, in an era of rampant yellow journalism.

This title explores journalistic and fact-checking standards, Constitutional protections, and real-world case studies, helping readers identify the mechanics, perpetrators, motives, and psychology of fake news.

Fakten · Bilder · Töne · Story: Dokumentarische Filmdramaturgie: TV · Video · Netz · Kino (Journalistische Praxis)
by Gregor Alexander HeussenDokumentarische Filme aller Genres in TV, Kino und Netz entfalten ihre informative Kraft erst dann, wenn sie dramaturgisch als Erzählungen strukturiert sind, nicht als Aufzählungen. Sie müssen die Emotionen des Publikums wecken, damit die filmische Information verstanden werden kann. Wirksame dokumentarische Filmgestaltung ist begründet in der Art, wie Menschen hinschauen und hinhören. Ihre Wahrnehmungen werden zu Vorstellungen; diese prägen die Information. Dadurch verändern sich viele überkommene Regeln für Dokumentarische Filme. Neue Ideen werden möglich. Werkzeuge dafür sind der Erzählsatz, die Roten Fäden, die Drama-Elementarmuster, das konzentrierte Zusammenspiel der sechs filmischen Erzähler, Emotionsziel und Argumentziel und die für Erzählungen charakteristische Polaritätslogik. Anders als fiktionale Filme müssen Dokumentarische Filme durch ihre erzählerische Struktur und filmische Gestaltung einen nachprüfbaren Bezug zur Lebensrealität des Publikums schaffen. Spielfilme hingegen können in ihrem jeweils definierten Erzählkosmos plausibel und authentisch sein. Im Dokumentarischen lassen sich auch Werkzeuge und Muster der Fiktionalen Dramaturgie nutzen, aber mit anderer Absicht und Wirkung: sie müssen die Lebensrealität treffen. Das Buch von Gregor Alexander Heussen zeigt Dokumentarische Dramaturgie praktisch; und begründet sie mit Erkenntnissen der Kognitionswissenschaft. Redakteure* und Film-Auftraggeber* finden Werkzeuge und Denkwege für Planung, und Filmabnahme. Autoren* erfahren die Kraft der dramaturgischen Recherche und entdecken neue Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bei Dreh und Montage. Das Buch ist ein Muss für alle, die sich für dokumentarischen Film in TV, Kino, Netz und Unternehmen interessieren. Mit dem Buch sind 29 runterladbare, sofort nutzbare Drama-Werkzeuge verlinkt.

Fallacy of Silver Age
by Omry RonenIn this study, Ronen critically examines the term "Silver Age", which over the years has gained such wide currency among historians and connoisseurs of 20th century Russian culture. The author traces the origin and the controversial development of what he condemns as an influential misnomer. Ronen sets out to debunk the myth that attributes invention of the term to Nikolai Berdiaev, and in turn traces this widely used catchword in the critical idiom from an abscure, avante-garde manifesto to the present day. He lays to rest the use of the term which he sees as the most misleading constituent of Russia's contemporary cultural self-awareness and self-assessment.
Fallen Idols: A Century of Screen Sex Scandals (Images of the Past)
by Nigel BlundellIts a scandal! How often we use that phrase and what a catalogue of sins it covers. Thats what this book is all about. It is literally a catalogue of sins committed by some of the most celebrated names on the planet.Within these covers are startling stories of scandals during a century when screen idols seemed to vie with each other in outraging public decency. It was an age when fan fever was at its height and an endless supply of shocking revelations emerged to fuel the frenzy.Because of the perpetrators superstar status, the shame of exposure was often heightened, not only wrecking reputations but often harming careers and, at least, ensuring very public humiliation.The lessons learned from these cases of celebrity scandal (though often, it seems, not by the celebrities themselves) is that the bigger the star, the harder the fall and that deceit and intrigue so often turn hard-won fame into instant infamy.
Falling in Love at the Movies: Rom-Coms from the Screwball Era to Today (Turner Classic Movies)
by Esther ZuckermanPrepare to swoon, ugly cry, laugh, and fall in love with this officially licensed exploration of the impact and legacy of one of film's most beloved genres from Turner Classic Movies: the rom-com. Romantic comedies have had an incredible influence on popular culture, shaping everything from how we think of relationships to fashion. Often swept aside in film history, these movies are thought of as pure comfort viewing. Although they certainly provide those fuzzy feelings, they have also had a significant artistic influence and cultural impact. Spanning decades of romantic comedies—from movies of the 1930s such as It Happened One Night and the rom com craze of the 80s and 90s including When Harry Met Sally...all the way to contemporary hits like Crazy Rich Asians, and everything in between—Falling in Love at the Movies will make you fall in love (all over again) with romantic comedies. Esther Zuckerman—accomplished entertainment journalist and member of the New York Film Critic&’s Circle—takes readers on a journey through the rom-com. She examines the aspects that make us so drawn to these types of films, diving deep into the key auteurs—from Preston Sturges to James L. Brooks to Nora Ephron and beyond—who both created and subverted the canon. These directors, actors, and writers shaped the genre, establishing and also busting traditional pillars and tenets of these movies such as the &“Perfect Pair&” or &“The Man in Crisis&” and &“The High Maintenance Woman.&” Featuring full-color images from the films throughout, along the way Zuckerman takes detours, explores iconic lines of dialogue (Who could forget Julia Roberts' &“I&’m also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her&” iconic moment from Notting Hill?) to memorable scenes (the magical moment at the Empire State Building in Sleepless in Seattle) and weaves in interviews of artists and romantic comedy fanatics in the industry. Looking beyond the traditional rom-com, Zuckerman digs into the nooks and crannies, the films that buck the trend of "happily ever after," the ones that think beyond heteronormative narratives, and the indies that kept the rom-com alive outside of the studio system, to offer a more comprehensive story of the rom-com than has ever been seen before—and one that you&’re bound to love. How&’s that for a happy ending?

Fame, Fortune, and the Bran Muffins of Doom
by Marty KelleySimon's latest scheme is to gain everlasting fame and glory by winning the school talent show. What stands in his way? A lot. There's the fact that he doesn't sing, dance, or play a musical instrument. There's nasty Mike McAlpine and his cronies. There's Stacy and her distracting brown eyes. And last, but certainly not least, is Mrs. Annand, who insists on bombarding Simon and his friends with dangerously hard muffins while they rehearse their act. Utter humiliation is looking a lot more likely than fame and glory for Simon's band, The Groovy Guys.
Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List
by Janette RallisonIt's been a week and a half since Brendan broke up with me, but I try not to think about him. He only crosses my mind when I see Lauren and him walking around the hallways holding hands, or when they eat lunch in the cafeteria sitting so close together you'd think they were Siamese twins, or when I cry myself to sleep every night. But besides all of that, I'm doing really well. On the night I met Jordan, I wasn't thinking about Brendan at all. After my shift at Wal-Mart was over, I walked out into the parking lot debating the merits of boy names for girls instead of dwelling on the fact that it was Friday night and Brendan and Lauren were out somewhere practicing their Siamese twins routine.
Fame: The Hijacking of Reality
by Justine Bateman"Wholly riveting."--New York Times Book Review"Justine Bateman was famous before selfies replaced autographs, and bags of fan mail gave way to Twitter shitstorms. And here's the good news: she took notes along the way. Justine steps through the looking glass of her own celebrity, shatters it, and pieces together, beyond the shards and splinters, a reflection of her true self. The transformation is breathtaking. Revelatory and raucous, fascinating and frightening, Fame is a hell of a ride."--Michael J. Fox, actor, author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future"In a new book, Fame: The Hijacking of Reality, the two-time Emmy nominee takes a raw look at the culture of celebrity, reflecting on her stardom at its dizzying peak--and the 'disconcerting' feeling as it began to fade."--People MagazineA Book Soup (Los Angeles, CA) best seller, October 15–21, 2018"As the title Fame: The Hijacking of Reality more than implies, this is a book about the complicated aspects of all things fame."--Vanity Fair"Bateman digs into the out-of-control nature of being famous, its psychological aftermath and why we all can't get enough of it."--New York Post"The Family Ties alum has written the rawest, bleakest book on fame you're ever likely to read. Bateman's close-up of the celeb experience features vivid encounters with misogyny, painful meditations on aging in Hollywood, and no shortage of theses on social media's wrath."--Entertainment Weekly"Bateman addresses the reader directly, pouring out her thoughts in a rapid-fire, conversational style. (Hunter S. Thompson is saluted in the acknowledgments.)...But her jittery delivery suits the material--the manic sugar high of celebrity and its inevitable crash. Bateman takes the reader through her entire fame cycle, from TV megastar, whose first movie role was alongside Julia Roberts, to her quieter life today as a filmmaker. She is as relentless with herself as she is with others."--Washington Post"While Bateman's new book Fame: The Hijacking of Reality (out now) touches on the former teen starlet's experience in the public eye, it's not a memoir. Far from it, in fact--it's instead an intense meditation on the nature of fame, and a glimpse into the repercussions it has on both the individual experiencing it and the society that keeps the concept alive."--Entertainment Weekly"Bateman takes an unsentimental look at the nature of celebrity worship in her first book, Fame: The Hijacking of Reality."--LA WeeklyEntertainment shows, magazines, websites, and other channels continuously report the latest sightings, heartbreaks, and triumphs of the famous to a seemingly insatiable public. Millions of people go to enormous lengths to achieve Fame. Fame is woven into our lives in ways that may have been unimaginable in years past.And yet, is Fame even real? Contrary to tangible realities, Fame is one of those "realities" that we, as a society, have made. Why is that and what is it about Fame that drives us to spend so much time, money, and focus to create the framework that maintains its health?Mining decades of experience, writer, director, producer, and actress Justine Bateman writes a visceral, intimate look at the experience of Fame. Combining the internal reality-shift of the famous, theories on the public's behavior at each stage of a famous person's career, and the experiences of other famous performers, Bateman takes the reader inside and outside the emotions of Fame. The book includes twenty-four color photographs to highlight her analysis.
Family Guy and Philosophy: A Cure for the Retarded
by J. Jeremy WisnewskiWisnewski (philosophy, Hartwick College) provides the analysis and some of the funny footnotes as he and his contributors work through postmodernism, religion and religious exclusivity, virtue and perversity, clueless men (in the character's case this is an oxymoron), motherhood, deadly sins, the importance of background people, dogs with personality, the logic of expectation, humor, fallacies, plagiarism, will and wantonness in wives, ego, and death. The result is fun, if you are a fan of the show, but even if you are not, you can get the point and most of the jokes.
