Requests:  0 Summary:  Junk film's thirteen essays explore the failures of specific works created between the 1940s and the 2010s. Each demonstrates a different kind of failure, from mixing incompatible genres (Cop Rock) to stacking a screenplay with sociopaths (Staying Alive). The book uses a few basic theses about bad film and television to unpack these failures. Importantly, it shows what students of film can learn from bad movies: how to make art that works via watching art that doesn't.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.4375 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.4375 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList
