I wrote about this wonderful movie for its 10th anniversary.

Each pill grants you a package of 3 distinct abilities sorted by tiers (T1 > T2 > T3$).You will be fighting Superman in a Death Arena that is about the size of a football field. You have no prep time.

*Each Use of Kryptonite Emission gives you a 5% chance of a fatal heart attack. The emitted kryptonite will nerf Superman for approximately 40 seconds.

We never thought we'd have to do this here. It's an academic and arts-related sub!!! But some people cannot help themselves.

The Film Theory mod team is announcing a new common sense rule: No AI.

This is an academic and intellectual field, obviously you need to do your own work! Put in the effort.

If you cannot exert the very minimal bare minimum effort of composing your own original words, your ideas are not worth serious consideration and likely are crafted as lazily as your composition. Being a perfect writer does not matter when your ideas are worthy.

Any posts utilizing AI generated text or imagery are strictly prohibited. We require authentic authorship and support human artists.

It’s not that hard to craft coherent writing or learn to throw some graphics together. It only takes effort. If you truly care about the work then put in the effort.

Lazy AI slop is not allowed.

Hello everyone, I recently watched Jane Schoebrun's 'I Saw the TV Glow,' and someone mentioned the connection between the consumption of trans identities and a deliberate or unintentional presentation of the bodies in the film (which might be Jane critiquing the cis-normative society). The area interested me a lot, and I have been wondering if there has been any academic work that might have focused on reviewing it through the lens of film theory. Especially as I am actively looking for any articles or books that would be correlated to this. It would also be helpful if there are works that might focus on trans relations and spectatorship, or even works on other films that can be considered similar to Jane's theme and/or style.
