Valentino’s Ghost: Framing the Arab Image
In 1920s Hollywood, the Arab was a hero, as played by the iconic actor Rudolph Valentino in his "Sheik" movies. By the 1970s, Arabs and Muslims were depicted as embodiments of evil, not only in Hollywood films, but in children’s cartoons, the news, TV sitcoms, and even on radio. What happened? Valentino's Ghost examines the ways in which US foreign policy in the Middle East has changed the media's portrayals of Arabs and Muslims. Accused of bigotry towards Arabs and Muslims, American filmmakers are blamed for the bias which would never be applied to African-Americans, Jews, homosexuals, or any other minority group. This film lays bare the truths behind taboo subjects that are conspicuously avoided or merely treated as sound bites by the mainstream media.
RT @dailydot: Marvel made a fake news channel to promote its ’Avengers’ films:
Everhart's first full report is a viral video promoting Ant-Man, describing Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) as a cyber criminal and "self-proclaimed whistleblower." He was convicted of stealing from the fictional tech company VistaCorp and funneling the money back to its customers. The upcoming movie will see him finish his prison sentence and become Ant-Man, with help from Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), the inventor of the Ant-Man suit.
