Ghost Town The Movie Review by MaryD
-
I was fortunate the other day to receive a DVD copy
of Ghost Town The Movie to review by Dean Teaster. Ghost Town stars
Renee O'Connor as Little Jack and a great cast. What is this movie about? Appalachian folklore and legend tell the story of a man in 1856, who came
out of the mountain wilderness of Cold Springs, North Carolina to avenge his
father's death. In his wake he left a Ghost Town. Today, twenty years later
he returns to avenge his daughter's honor.

Renee to guest star on Army Wives!
TV Guide has an article on the upcoming guest appearance by Barbara Eden on
Army Wives. It also includes a quote from Katherine about the possible
appearance by Renee for the show during Season 2!
"Fugate also has plans for an old friend from the days she was
a writer on Xena: Warrior Princess. “I want to write a
two-parter for Renee O'Connor (Xena’s bosom buddy Gabrielle) for
the second season,” Fugate says. “We’ve stayed friends; she gave
me my baby shower.” -

Posting this for CindyT
Heya all:
Just wanted to let you know that I am making some of my
photos of Lucy (and some with Renee) available as 8x10's
on eBay.
The purpose is two-fold:
1. I need to raise funds to get to FL to be with my best
friend, Susie, while she is undergoing radiation
treatment for brain cancer.
2. I'm donating 10% of the profit to Lucy's Starship
Foundation. (She helped me take these shots, so it's
only fair to give something back <G>)
You can check out what I've listed so far:

I will be adding more soon...
Thanks!

Diamonds and Guns / IMDb Update
It seems that ol' Xenaverse magic hasn't gone away. Before the start of the
"vote for Diamonds" campaign the Moviemeter was down to 7% (which is rather
anemic). It is now up to 478% <vbg> Keep it going folks. What is the Moviemeter?
Well IMDb says:
MOVIEmeter and STARmeter offer popularity rankings for the 940,000 movies and
1.6 million cast and crew members listed in our database.
So keep on clicking! Many thanks to Caroline for alerting me to it.

convention the other day. As a bit of research, could
everyone who would like to see this released please go
to IMDB.com - search on
Renee's name, and
then click on "Diamonds
and Guns"
- it would be very helpful. Feel free to pass this to
all corners of the fandom.

The Alissa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation
Needs Your Help!
AARBF is revamping its website and electronic communication in order to
better reach and service volunteers, donors and survivors. In order to do this,
AARBF is launching the " AARBF Online"
Website Project! We'll present a brand new web image and make communicating with
AARBF a lot easier. WIth this program we hope to be able to:
1. Help burn survivors who need us find our services
2. Provide resources to medical professionals
3. Make our prevention materials available online for use by fire departments
and other burn foundations
4. Build awareness in the general public about burn prevention and fire
safety
5. Help create a culture of understanding for those with physical differences
6. Create a resource for the media about AARBF, burns and fire safety
7. Provide a one-stop-shop for volunteers to learn about upcoming events and
ways to help
8. Help build and nourish our burn foundation community!
To do this will take resources that AARBF does not have readily available for
new projects. We can only afford to launch this project if
200 folks sign up to contribute.
Can you chip in $25 today to help AARBF reach its supporters and beneficiaries
better?

Calling All Xena Fans!
I've been asked to pass this on to any Xena fan
who wishes to participate in a study being conducted by
Star
The purpose of my study is to analyze the media
content and representations of gays/lesbians on the
television program Xena: Warrior Princess (Tapert, 1995)
and to explore its use of gay/lesbian subtext as an
example of a non-normalized queered televised
curriculum. The use of the word “subtext” in this study
will refer to the verbal and non-verbal cues the
characters of the show relayed to its audience members.
My main research questions are: (1) How did the use
of gay/lesbian subtext in the television program Xena:
Warrior Princess (Tapert, 1995) aide Xena fans in
viewing a non-normalized depiction of the
gay/lesbian/bi-sexual/transgendered/queer/intersexed
(GLBTQI) community? [In other words, was the use of
subtext able to subvert the stereotyping of lesbians?]
(2) How was this community of discourse received? And,
in what ways? [How did Xena fans react to the subtext?]
(3) How did the public political pedagogy influence the
social construction of the show? In what ways was a
community of discourse recognized? [What was going on
politically at that time they may have influenced the
“need” for the subtext? How were the voices of Xena fans
recognized?] (4) Furthermore, where is there evidence of
a formation of solidarity and personal empowerment
amongst Xena fans as a result of it having been aired?
[How were the lives of Xena fans affected by the show,
and in particular, the death of the heroine?]
In the process of addressing these questions, I will be
looking at the net narratives of Xena fans on the
Internet pertaining to the gay/lesbian subtext of the
show, and supplementing these net narratives with
stories generated from Xena artifacts, personal
interviews, and focus group discussions with Xena fans.
In attempting to define the methodology of my
qualitative study of the pedagogical implications of the
gay/lesbian subtext of Xena: Warrior Princess (Tapert,
1995) on Xena fans, the most fitting description of my
role as a qualitative researcher would be that of a
weaver of tapestries. The three conceptual tools I will
use to analyze my data will be: narrative analysis,
discourse analysis, and metaphor analysis.
I am looking for Xena fans to share their stories with
me. What impact did Xena make on you? Do you still mourn
her death? Why? Why not?
