Thank you so much for contributing to the theme week, Dr. Wood! Just as when I saw you present a version of this at SCMS, your suggestion that the horror film offers a uniquely transgressive way for female filmmakers to broach socially "taboo" ...
When I saw your proposal, Geneveive, I was so pleased that you wanted to comment upon Revenge (2017), as it's one of the first films that came to mind when I thought about this theme week. You've done an excellent job of drawing attention to ...
Drew, as I said over email, I am very pleased to see someone else writing on/discussing the frequent use of digital de-aging technology in the MCU. I recently wrote a seminar paper on the same topic, but I am really interested in your couching of these i ...

First off, I am glad you've enjoyed participating in the theme week; as I said above, I think you brought a really vital interaction between the MCU and Marvel Comics into the discussion. I completely agree with your argument that many of these swaps ...
The history of near endings for the superhero genre in film is fascinating. As you mention at the top of your post, 2009- following a barrage of mediocre entries that were more sci-fi or action genre formulas with capes attached- felt like a possible endi ...
As you have pointed out, Waititi's mockumentary short is such a rich example of reflexivity. Stan's Soapbox and the Marvel Bullpen have certainly translated to this age of cinematic universes, as the star personas of The Avengers are as importan ...
