The Most Dangerous Cinema
People hunting people for sport--an idea both shocking and fascinating. In 1924 Richard Connell published a short story that introduced this concept to the world, where it has remained ever since--as evidenced by the many big- and small-screen adaptations and inspirations. Since its publication, Connell's award-winning "The Most Dangerous Game" has been continuously anthologized and studied in classrooms throughout America. Raising questions about the nature of violence and cruelty, and the ethics of hunting for sport, the thrilling story spawned a new cinematic subgenre, beginning with RKO's 1932 production of The Most Dangerous Game, and continuing right up to today. This book examines in-depth all the cinematic adaptations of the iconic short story. Each film chapter has a synopsis, a "How Dangerous Is It?" critique, an overall analysis, a production history, and credits. Five additional chapters address direct to video, television, game shows, and almost "dangerous" productions. Photographs, extensive notes, bibliography and index are included.

It considers gendered stereotypes in Bob s Burgers, the way relationships sometimes play out like an episode of Rick and Morty, and contains plenty of adoration for Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time. Funny, reflective, and painfully relatable, Watching Cartoons with Boys is an engaging text from an emerging Australian writer. ""Nostalgic, clever and funny, Watching Cartoons with Boys is a reminder of all the ways that cartoons intersect with and reflect our own lives."" - Jess Gately, Underground Writers Watching Cartoons with Boys reminds me of adolescence the relief in what I have left behind, the pride in what I have overcome, and the nostalgia of that which has stuck with me along the way. It is in a word poignant. Alex Creece, Ramona Magazine
