Mitchell Lichtenstein
Teeth (2007/8)
Affective responses and pleasure
It's amazing
vagina dentata and plotting women being able to protect themselves
it's sooo 2007; the campy bad acting, semi-intentionally bad
by the end, Dawn being in control, and BOTH killer and victim; ideas of potential for power
Team nope:
is there a re-watching pleasure?
the bad acting undercuts the characterization
Brad, the brother
opens with molestation
incestuous desires
What genre is this?
superhero genre (parallels with Spiderman 2002)
Where does horror come from
everyday people
domestic spaces
network of rape culture
maiming and excess
calls attention to the history of mutilating women's bodies
disgusts/orients us away from bloodied crotches;
Teeth
rescripts the dichotomy between victim/slasher
a lesson for men with penises a subject of violence:flipping the ideas of who identifies with whom; also a pedagogical film about teaching consent
What are the ways men have access to women; the ways that we discursively police/shape women's bodies
the purity group (religion)
the gynecologist's office (medical space)
drugs and date rape (social/sexual)
hitchhiking/driving and the social space (spatial)
domestic (spatial, social, sexual)
teaching and education (teaching kids, teaching high school)
literary and mythic
using a woman's physiological response as justification/as consent
"abnormal"--something "wrong" ; Adaptation versus mutation;
sexual assault/violence so pervasive, Dawn develops an "adaptation"
hetero-penetrative sex acts as "breaking power"
complicates traditional body/mind splits and dualism
