TIMELINE 1980s page of ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION WEB GUIDE The world of magazines {to be done} Major films of this decade {to be done} I have information on, and hotlinks to, some 45 Science Fiction Television series of the 1980s. Fantasy headed in unexpected directions, with major new voices, and horror (with Stephen King and John Crowley leading the pack) darkened into the "splatterpunk" subgenre, which held that the supernatural was part of a spectrum of terror that included the reality of serial killers, genocide, child molestation, and the like. This is slightly down from the 52 of the 1970s, but the impact on the film and book segments of the science fiction industry were increasing. www.magicdragon.com /UltimateSF/timeline1990.html   (944 words)

Holy Terror: Philippe Grandrieux's Sombre The film instantly took me back to a mid-1970s text by video artist Thierry Kuntzel (a former collaborator with Grandrieux) in which he proposed that the 'ideal film' would be "a film of sustained terror " ( Camera Obscura 5, 1980) - sheer, unmitigated, ceaseless terror. Grandrieux has made, finally, not a modish serial killer movie or an advertisement for a neo-gothic subculture, but a truly experimental 'walk on the wild side', using the crucible of emotions, actions and sensations inherent in his slender, mythic fiction as a bridge to compose a new language of image and sound, figure and gesture. It is, all at once, an image from a fairy tale, a horror movie, a suspense thriller, and a film fantastique set in a science-fiction landscape. www.sensesofcinema.com /contents/00/1/sombre.html   (189 words)

Encyclopedia: Cruising (movie) Cruising is the name of a film released in 1980, directed by William Friedkin and starring Al Pacino. The serial killer is a gay man and the gay men shown in the film (and their interest in SandM, fisting, water sports) creates this impression that homosexuals are akin to vampires spreading a disease. Gay critics felt that the film was incredibly homophobic in its depiction of gay men and several public demonstrations were held in an effort to disrupt the filming of the movie. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Cruising-%28movie%29   (1578 words)

CER Austrian Film: Gerald Kargl's Angst The unnamed antagonist portrayed by Rudolf Götz in Angst (aka Fear)—an Austrian horror film-thriller directed by Gerald Kargl in 1983, and based on the real-life case of Salzburg-born triple murderer Werner Kniesek [3]—seems to have missed out on these various efforts at popularizing, romanticizing, and (above all) commercializing the cinematic serial killer. According to Felix and Stiglegger, Kniesek's 1980 trial after his arrest for killing a middle-aged widow and her two children (one of whom was disabled) became "as famous in Austria as the Fritz Haarmann and Peter Krten trials in Germany, or the Ed Gein case in America." So too the failures of the director, who satisfies none of the genre's conventions, and who eschews the popular tradition of romanticizing the serial killer, of turning him into a sort of neo-Gothic anti-hero. www.ce-review.org /01/22/kinoeye22_schneider.html   (1154 words)

Mathias Sandorf Site - English version A novel "Mathias Sandorf" had two stage-adaptations, as a play, and three film-versions: first, silent movie at 1920 (directed by Henry Fescourt); a 1963 film (directed by Georges Lampin), and a six-part TV-serial at 1980 (directed by Jean-Pierre Decourt).

DVDAnswers.com - DVD Reviews - Urban Legend (Region 2) Those who are fans of the whole slasher movie genre (stretching back to the 1980’s) seemed to like this film because of its combination of traditional scare techniques and the attempt to tie in the fact that the serial killer was using urban legends. Urban Legend does of course have its faults, like the subzero parka disguise used by the killer and worn by a surprisingly large number of students throughout the film, which I would have thought a rare occurrence given the hot climate in which the movie was set. The filmographies were present as expected with each mentioning only the most popular movies that the actors played a part in. www.dvdanswers.com /index.php?r=0&s=2&c=12   (169 words)

Political Film Society - Hard William Friedkin’s Cruising (1980) startled filmviewers by portraying a serial killer of gay men who enjoy sadomasochistic sexual arousal, with an undercover cop who was straight. Instead, the film focuses on how a gay cop copes with his homophobic colleagues in the Homicide Division of the Los Angeles Police Department, where the prevailing culture parallels Jack’s view that the death of gays (called "homocide") is some sort of public service. When Vates encounters Jack at a gay bar while looking for the killer, Jack seduces him; in the morning after the two sleep together, Vates awakens to find that Jack has handcuffed him to his bed and has stolen his LAPD shield. www.geocities.com /~polfilms/hard.html   (1388 words)

Records International Catalogue October 2003 There is much unfamiliar music here in this collection of mostly early chamber works (from a 1952 quartet movement to the 1980 Little Quartet No. 1) and the styles present range from extended tonal writing through serial-based works into the language characteristic of the Symphony No. 3 and related works of the 1980s. Langford is known primarily for his arrangements and orchestrations of film scores and stage musicals and as composer for BBC programming while also writing quite a bit of highly popular works for concert and brass bands. Hyperion's first Pärt collection dealt with a new, more complex, exotic harmonic vocabulary but, in these works from 1996-2002, Pärt returns to the pure triadic-dominated sound (less of the tintinnabuli but more of the older austerity of structure and harmony) which marked his work for most of the late 80s and the 90s. www.recordsinternational.com /RICatalogOct03.html   (518 words)

Diane Keaton She directed a music video for singer Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is a Place on Earth," and in 1990 she began directing for TV, her early efforts including an episode of the cult serial "Twin Peaks." She turned in a deft comic performance as the driven career woman in BABY BOOM (1987). The versatile Keaton (she chose her mother's maiden surname) published two photography books, Reservations (1980) and Still Life (1983), and tried her hand in film directing with an offbeat documentary about heaven, titled HEAVEN (1987). After Woody Allen's personal and professional split with Mia Farrow, Keaton took over what was to have been Farrow's role in MANHATTAN MURDER MYSTERY (1993), recapturing some of the chemistry of their earlier collaborations. www.theoscarsite.com /whoswho6/keaton_d.htm   (457 words)
