Pulp Fiction in the Press: 1990s Film Culture Writing and the Creation of Influence

Abstract: This paper argues that the enormous amount of 1990s in-print press coverage of Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction (1994) was a crucial factor in establishing the film's early legacy. Trade journalists, film reviewers, and cultural commentators all built a sense that Pulp Fiction was the defining indie film of the 1990s, aligning it with the financial and cultural expansion of the indie film sector throughout the rest of the decade. Through the privileged positions these writers held in film culture, they circulated opinions and knowledge about Tarantino and Pulp Fiction , all the while imbuing the film with immense cultural value.

The Right to Sit Still

In this essay, Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece considers how criticism, spectatorship, and the markers of the procedural overlap in a contemporary moment where leisure has been ceded to work. By reading across multiple objects, from MovieTok film and television reviews and YouTube video essays, to prestige film and television, to Marxist provocations, to cultural criticism, this essay argues that simply looking at media has been replaced by an obsessive drive toward content creation. Because watchers in late capitalism are encouraged always to produce and never to sit still, the liberatory potential of spectatorship has rapidly eroded into a race to treat every film and television show as a puzzle to be decoded rather than a mystery of ultimately unsolvable contemplation.

Pregnant Women’s Hematological Profile in Duhok Governorate, Iraq

Abstract Background: In pregnancy, hematological changes occur in order to meet the demands of the developing fetus and placenta, with major alterations in blood volume. Abnormal hematological profile affects pregnancy and its outcome. Objective: The objective of study is to determine the hematological changes that take place during pregnancy, to assess these changes in pregnant women, and to contrast hematological parameters between trimesters in Duhok Governorate, Iraq. Materials and Methods: From October 2021 to May 2022, at the Duhok Maternity Hospital, 210 (70 first, 70 s, and 70 third trimesters) consecutively healthy pregnant women were subjected to the study. A pre-tested questionnaire form used to gather socio-demographic data for hematological parameters analysis using a Medonic auto analyzer blood count coulter, and a peripheral blood film review, after the withdrawal of four milliliters of blood from voluntaries participants. Results: The hematological profile for 210 pregnant women was studied, and there were differences between the trimesters. The results for red blood cells, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and lymphocytes were found statistically significant between 1st and 2nd trimesters (P value = 0.020, 0.0001, 0.006, and 0.023), respectively. Furthermore, the mean and standard deviation of lymphocytes between 1st and 3rd trimesters were statistically significant (P value < 0.05). A significant difference was found between 2nd and 3rd trimester for hemoglobin and platelets (P value 0.0001 and 0.021), respectively. Conclusion: Numerous hematologic problems can be brought on by being pregnant or develop during pregnancy. These hematological conditions were leukocytosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. These complaints are a generous cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women, which has effects on both the mother and the fetus. In order to reduce the hazards, these hematological illnesses provide to pregnant women and their developing fetus; more research should be done.

Ultimately, the film challenges viewers to rethink their perspectives on the world around them and embrace a more inclusive understanding of multispecies interactions.

AN OVERVIEW ON ORAL THIN FILMS–METHODOLOGY, CHARACTERIZATION AND CURRENT APPROACH

The pharmaceutical sector is looking for new ways to deliver drugs, and one such way is through thin films. It has been said that thin films offer an alternative to traditional dosage forms. They offer rapid, local, or systemic effects and are a very flexible platform. Furthermore, patients with dysphagia, elderly, paediatrics, or bedridden patients, as well as those who have difficulty accessing water, can easily utilize these systems on their own. There are several ways to administer these drug delivery systems, including transdermally, ocularly, buccally, sublingually, and orally. One of the most creative and patient-focused novel drug delivery systems is Orodispersible Thin Films (OTF). Numerous pharmaceutical companies and academic experts worldwide are currently investigating the potential of these films for delivering drugs derived from both synthetic and natural sources. The beauty of this special drug delivery method is that, as we can see from the subjects' consumption of conventional dosage forms (tablets, capsules), they don't require water to be consumed. Furthermore, these delivery methods do a great job of encouraging patient compliance in general, especially in the case of both older and pediatric patients. This review shows a detailed review of oral thin film its applications and method of preparation; mainly focus of this research is thin film introduction to researchers and last 10 y of research on thin film with drugs and polymers used in research.

Patriarchy, virginity, and hegemonic masculinity in the Turkish film Iffet (1982): a psychoanalytic film review

ABSTRACT The 1980s was marked by the emergence of new cinematic forms in Turkey, including films concerning issues related to various forms of women’s oppression involving sexual objectification, rape, and subordination. Through a close textual analysis, this article discusses how the 1982 film Iffet attempts to create a rape–revenge story, romanticizing sexual aggression against women through hysterization of the protagonist. This study examines the film’s representation of the concepts of patriarchy, honor, virginity, and hegemonic masculinity within Turkey’s socio-political atmosphere in the 1980s. Mulvey’s feminist film theory and Brownmiller’s description of rape myths were used for the analysis.

Analyzing film and drama reviews: Distinguishing trolls from genuine audience feedback based on the BERT model

With the expanding influence of the Internet, an increasing number of individuals rely on viewer reviews to make informed decisions about whether to watch a movie or TV series. However, the prevalence of manipulated or "navy" reviews, employed by companies to boost their products' reputation, has created a significant challenge. While numerous studies have dissected film and drama reviews, a notable gap exists in discerning genuine audience feedback from deceptive ones. This article's research focus is on evaluating the model's capacity to effectively differentiate between authentic audience comments and navy reviews and delving into the complexities encountered when the model assesses comments, as well as highlighting the disparities between model-generated judgments and human assessments. This article first collects a large amount of different types of comment data, annotates these data, and then uses these data to train and fine tune the BERT model. Finally, the results are obtained and analyzed to determine the reasons. This article found that the accuracy rate of the model's judgment comments is around 71.08%, which is more accurate and stable. However, there are still some issues when judging comments with emojis and emoticons, and certain data is needed to support the judgment of comments for different movies or dramas. There are also certain issues with the dataset, as the data is manually annotated, and the annotation of the dataset itself may also be influenced by the annotator, which may lead to inaccurate judgments.

Film review essay: Inside Llewyn Davis: Faltering steps in the incredible journey from adolescence to adulthood

ABSTRACT The paper discusses the Coen brothers’ film Inside Llewyn Davis as representing in microcosm the developmental trajectory from late adolescence towards adulthood for the title character. This entails negotiating the problems of unconscious guilt, failure to mourn and an awareness of time in order to effect a movement from masochistic melancholy and hidden grandiosity to being able to relinquish omnipotent phantasies, say au revoir to internal persecutors and achieve a degree of self-possession.

In Translation: Gabriel Navarro, Latina/o Film Critic

ABSTRACT: Gabriel Navarro (1894–1950) was critic and entertainment editor for La Prensa (San Antonio) and La Opinión (Los Angeles) during the 1920s and 1930s. In an extensive body of film reviews, columns, and film-related fiction, Navarro considered questions of fandom, stardom, representation, and the racial hierarchies that structured the US film industry. He offered his readers behind-the-scenes accounts of Hollywood, advocated for Mexican immigrant audiences and talent, and argued for culturally sensitive representation. Navarro's work opens new ways of thinking about Latino/a/es in US film history and offers new perspectives on the historical relationships between mainstream media and marginalized audiences.

Moral Salience in Film Reviews Associated With Film Success

Abstract: Moral reflection, a prevalent response to popular media, can play an important role in audience media appraisal. Employing a computational approach, this study examined the effect of moral salience in film reviews on film success. By analyzing moral words from the Moral Foundation Dictionary in a large corpus of approximately 1.6 million IMDb film reviews, we found that moral salience in reviews was strongly associated with film success. Specifically, the salience of moral foundations identified as care, fairness, loyalty, and authority was positively associated with audience ratings, popularity, and gross domestic revenue. These findings demonstrate the real-world implications of moral reflection and entertainment media appraisal postulated by entertainment media theories. This research also offers methodological insights for automated analysis of movie review data.
