its like what lurlen was saying...doing these horrible things, and if anything, going through possibly worse things, in order to survive

i read about that whole russian busting in and then raping the women before freeing them a few days ago...couldnt believe it.

the scariest thing about 28 days later is how plausible it seems to me. I read a little while ago that there apparently are diseases that can make you go totally batshit insane/pissed off. throw in the ability to transmit the diseases through blood, and make them lose all feeling of hunger, thirst, and their extremeties, and you have the virus from 28 days later.

the only good thing to be said is that instead of 28 days later, it would be more like > 4 days later. Food you can go without for a while. But liquids such as water? a few days and i dont care how angry you are, you're still dead.

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> One of Cronenberg's early ones, Rabid, had some space virus the main symptom of which was that you grew a vagina in your armpit out of which would emerge a penis from which would emerge a stinger which you could use to suck blood.

So you see, kids, its about men AND women (AND bees AND vampires).

There's a movie, especially the uncut version with the cigarette burns, etc, that isn't afraid to wear it's gender-blending sexual horror on it's sleeve.

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @Plague: It's ok. Some of my best friends are cranks. But in answer to your point: I think we can analyze this flick as being about humans, and about humans who are men with typically male problems (not that I buy into the idea that all guys are one way or another). That's all.

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @Annalee Newitz:
I see it as contradictory because you are choosing to focus on the fact that the subjects at hand are "men", and specifically men, when I think the point is about "humans" with the films chosen. I just think your main statement is misleading: your chosen subject header. Because I don't see this as having to do with genitalia...
Now the argument about men's fear of their bodies (as men are notoriously afraid of doctors, and by extension, disease), that we can completely agree on as a reading.

And yes, I am a cranky sumbitch.

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @Plague: The only place where I disagree with you is that you seem to think that your reading and mine are contradictory. But I'm saying that they both lead to the same kinds of conclusions. This is art man -- it's ambiguous. A movie can be about disease and be about maleness at the same time.

This movie is about a male stereotype: the male geek, who ignores his body and focuses on machines. He gets his "disease" because he refuses to deal with what his machines might do to his body. This is directly a result of his stereotypical dudeliness.

I agree there are many other movies that would have made this point better, and this was one of those posts where I kind of didn't really know what I wanted to argue until I was done with it and then I just said, "Ok fuck it good enough I'll publish." That's blogging for you. But I'll follow up with some more posts that more clearly deal with the horrors of guy-ness. I've got a good one I'm planning for tomorrow!

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @ggodo: Plague is smart -- he's made lots of good comments on past posts. I wouldn't give him the banhammer just for disagreeing with me and being kind of cranky about it.

Annalee Newitz

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @ggodo: I find the idea of banning him preposterous. He has a differing point of view from Annalee and he argued his ideas well.

The Fly has been well documented as being about the way that the body handles disease and not about "men going ape shit because they are men." If she could find some point in this film that backs that up then I'd be willing to consider her argument, but some vague idea of him being previously unaware of his body doesn't do it. The character couldve been a female and the plot would've remained the same.

The day that people get banned from this site for having a point of view which contrast with the editor is a sad one, especially when the first person to start throwing around phrases such as "get over it" and "dismissing comments as claptrap" was that editor themselves.

If Annalee wants to counter points made against her articles with "get over it" then maybe she should consider removing readers ability to comment entirely because otherwise she's going to get people try to rebuke her and expect discussion in return, it's how a discussion works. Discussion is what most people want from these comment sections.

And I don't see why it takes balls to debate with the editors, they are people too, prone to faults and able to make return points - we shouldn't fear being banned just because we have a differing opinion.

PriorMarcus

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @Annalee Newitz: My recommendation is to ignore Plague, he's an interesting commentator and I'd love to go head to head with him sometime, but he will never lose. If this were Kotaku, he'd probably get the hammer for this, but I hope he stays here because he's so wonderfully contrary and pessimistic.

Plague, I salute you for having the balls to duke it out with the editors, and would like to duel you over something I care more about in the future.

Ms. Newitz, The Fly does not support your argument in the way you have used it, but 28 Days Later works fine.

ggodo

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> See, this is an indication of Good Art afoot - that people can read into it what they want and be able to make at least fairly convincing arguments for their viewpoint, while admitting wildly divergent interpretations.

I must say I consider The Fly one of the greatest horror films ever. 28 Days Later was very clever and effective, but not nearly so thematically rich or emotionally resonant.

dOk

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> I find that Cronenberg's films, The Fly included has a lot of fearful vadge imagery - in The Fly in particular, when Geena Davis is afraid she's pregnant and in the dream sequence she gives birth to a larva creature - that scared the crap out of me and made me cross my legs like there was no tomorrow, my boyfriend at the time definitley did not get any that night - I think this was meant to be more terrifying than Seth's decline (into) masculinity, which was more sad.

PriorMarcus

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @It'stheRooo: Why is it that when we express our opinion of an article placed on a website some people turn it into a personal attack on our/my reading habits and psyche?

I disagree with Annalee, I don't think either of these films try to draw upon the ideas of the male genitals or sexuality, and I said that. She can defend her own article and points of views from those who disagree with her - and if she can't maybe she should consider not posting them on her blog for everyone to read.

It's a well writen article, but one I don't share an opinion with. And I'm not really sure why you brung Childhood's End into the discussion, or why you think it's at all similar to the debate at hand.

Annalee Newitz

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @It'stheRooo: @Kittentits:
Sorry, but there is a difference between drawing conclusions from the evidence presented by the films themselves and pulling bits and pieces to fit the conclusion you want to present. NEITHER of these two films had anything to do with men as "men". They had to do with the human race as a whole. Cronenberg has a long history of "body fear" in his films. The Fly was the best example of this taken to the extreme. He is not being "turned inside out". His body is revolting against him like a cancer and he is trying to grasp what it means to lose one's humanity. 28 Days later was a mish mosh of body fear and the fear of the loss of "safeness" that one has in today's society.
But hey, never the facts get in the way of your point of view, right, Jezebelites?

Plague

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> When Seth changes into the fly, he is essentially being turned inside out and becoming more corporeal, more disturbingly fleshy. He becomes like an open, gaping wound. The horror is based on him becoming more "vaginal", even though we don't actually see a big vadge or vadge-like orifice hit the screen.

Kittentits

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @PriorMarcus: *smh* Why is it when an author thoughtfully attempts to take things beyond the bare-faced literal, it sets off a zombified chant of "square peg, round hole" with some of you guys?

See, this is why I'm so sorry Mr. Clarke will likely be more vividly remembered for "2001" than for "Childhood's End". So few people can stand to read the latter book and possibly come face to face with themselves.

MilesFromNowhere

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @pinafore: I'd argue that 28 Days Later' revelation of the true mindsets of the soldiers is one of the most forced and idiotic story techniques I've seen in the horror genre of the last years. The entire second half of the movie felt awkward and forced when compared to the themes and ideas portrayed in the first part.

I couldn't help but feel that the end half of 28 Days Later felt like the writer had sat down and deliberately set out to find the most disturbing ulterior motive for the soldiers - and for that reason, to me at least, it just felt underwhelming and poor.

Sexual assault and rape are two of the easiest ideas to insert into any script were a male presence is the majority in a lawless world, and because of that it often comes across as the worst. It's not that I don't find the subject horrible, it's that I found it so blatantly forced and lazy that it merely made the film itself seem horrible.

On the other hand a movie like Dawn of the Dead (1978) at least manages to maintain a consistent theme of society becoming more violent and dangerous through out the entirety of it's narrative progression. From the opening scenes it builds upon the ideas of survival bringing out the worst in people, and the end feels inevitable and fulfilling because of the establishment.

If 28 Days Later had ended at the half way point, or if it had changed the later half to be more in tune with the excellent first it would've been one of the best movies of all time, sadly it ended up being one of the biggest disappointments.

PriorMarcus

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> Greatest vagina dentata of all time was Audrey II. Some might say the Sarlacc or the Alien, but come on - could they sing?? Though oddly, it was kind of penile, too. I kind of take Audrey II to be both the embodiment Seymour's repressed masculinity, AND a weird doppleganger for Audrey.

Sure, if you are 25-ish or under, the proliferation of technology and the majority of college students now being female has made it gender neutral.

But as a 40 year old guy, you say nerd to me-- I think of a guy, more specifically- me in my young to late teens.

And frankly, to my sensibilities, you can not be a nerd and have a girlfriend. They are mutually exclusive. Nerd + Girlfriend = Geek

PriorMarcus

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> Have to agree with all the agreement about 28 Days Later. Definitely the most effective horror flick I've seen since "Henry: Portriat of a Serial Killer," which has nothing to do with sci-fi or vadges so it isn't topical here, for exactly the reasons mentioned. Not the zombies, but the reactions of the normal humans. One could say it was the desire for the vadge as oppposed to the fear of it that causes the movie to work, and also, the cause of me making the occasional fool of myself out at bars.

Im a people person. Who drinks.

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> you failed to mention that the most horrifying part of the fly is when geena davis gives birth the fly baby hybrid. im pretty sure that has something to do with a vag.

MilesFromNowhere

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> annalee, you totally grasped what made 28 Days later such an intelligent horror film. a lot of dystopian plots allude to sexual violence as a consequence, but its done in this hashed casual way that no one really sees the horror of women hiding from it or fearing it. considering the film was directed and written by men; it was a pretty bold move. and one that required an unusually intuitive actor like cullian murphy to pull off.

pinafore

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> I saw 28 Days Later as being about how people lose it when societal order is taken away, which men tend to play into more violently. Look at the 1977 NYC blackouts. While the ending did have a Camp Kurtz flavor to it the soldiers, to me, were more desperate and probably a bit twisted from the loss of authority than brainwashed. The infected were a sort of catalyst for the really creepy (human) parts of the movie.

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> @Plague: I completely agree that The Fly is about dealing with disease. One of the things that's fascinating is watching Brundle become aware of his body, which he wasn't before when he was buried in his work with computers. I think your reading can fit with what I'm bumbling toward saying here, which is that The Fly is about a stereotypical nerd guy who is unaware of his body, who undergoes a transformation that forces him to become horribly aware of it. But part of the horror is that he got to this spot in the first place by not thinking through the impact his work might have on his body.

]]> <![CDATA[Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies]]> Man, I don't even know how to say how wrong you are about "The Fly". It's about dealing with disease and how it changes your body and your "connection" with it. Brundle before is just an average person, living unaware of what he is. After, he goes so far as to "categorize" parts of himself, to attempt to keep part of his "self" as he was, because he is now "aware" of his decreasing humanity as the disease progresses. His being a man is just secondary, in my view. Sexuality is only brought up via the maggot baby, which again is a fear of the loss of "humanness".

As for 28 days later- it has to be one of the most overrated films of the last decade. Two movies grafted together very uncomfortably.
