  • Superman-The Movie: Extended Cut the Music Mystery
    SUPERMAN-THE MOVIE: EXTENDED CUT THE MUSIC MYSTERY An exclusive analysis for CapedWonder™.com by Jim Bowers and Bill Williams NOTE FROM JIM BOWERS, EDITOR, CAPEDWONDER™.COM: Hi Fans! Before you begin reading this article, please know that I am thrilled with this new release from the Warner Archive Collection. It is absolutely wonderful to finally be able to enjoy so many fun TV cut scenes in widescreen! I HIGHLY recommend adding this essential home video release to your personal collection; do it soon so the Warner Bros. folks will know that there is still a great deal of interest in vintage films. The release is only on Blu-ray format (for now at least), and only available for purchase on-line Yes! We DO Believe A Man Can Fly! Thanks! Jim It goes without saying that one of John Williams’ most epic and influential film scores of all time is his score for the first “Superman” film. To this day it remains as iconic as the film itself. From the Ruby- Spears animated series to “Seinfeld” to “Smallville” and its reappearance in “Superman Returns”, its status in popular culture continues to resonate. Danny Elfman has also said that it will appear in the forthcoming “Justice League” film. When word was released in September 2017 that Warner Home Video announced plans to release a new two-disc Blu-ray of “Superman” as part of the Warner Archive Collection, fans around the world rejoiced with excitement at the news that the 188-minute extended version of the film - a slightly shorter version of which was first broadcast on ABC-TV on February 7 & 8, 1982 - would be part of the release.

AVAILABLE FROM National Council for History Education, 26915 Westwood Road, Suite B-2, Westlake, OH 44145-4657; Tel: 440-835-1776.

DESCRIPTORS *Cartoons; Elementary Secondary Education; Figurative Language; *History Instruction; *Humor; Illustrations; Instructional Materials; *Literary Devices; *Satire; Social Studies; United States History; Visual Aids; World History IDENTIFIERS *Political Cartoons ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the ability of the political cartoon to enhance history instruction. A trend in recent years is for social studies teachers to use these graphics to enhance instruction. Cartoons have the ability to:(1) empower teachers to demonstrate excellence during lessons; (2) prepare students for standardized tests containing cartoon questions;(3) promote critical thinking as in the Bradley Commission's suggestions for developing "History's Habits of the Mind;"(4) develop students' multiple intelligences, especially those of special needs learners; and (5) build lessons that aid students to master standards of governmental or professional curriculum organizations. The article traces the historical development of the political cartoon and provides examples of some of the earliest ones; the contemporary scene is also represented. Suggestions are given for use of research and critical thinking skills in interpreting editorial cartoons. The caricature and symbolism of political cartoons also are explored. An extensive reference section provides additional information and sources for political cartoons.

  • FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury This One, with Gratitude, Is for DON CONGDON
    FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury This one, with gratitude, is for DON CONGDON. FAHRENHEIT 451: The temperature at which book-paper catches fire and burns PART I: THE HEARTH AND THE SALAMANDER IT WAS A PLEASURE TO BURN. IT was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history. With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head, and his eyes all orange flame with the thought of what came next, he flicked the igniter and the house jumped up in a gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black. He strode in a swarm of fireflies. He wanted above all, like the old joke, to shove a marshmallow on a stick in the furnace, while the flapping pigeon- winged books died on the porch and lawn of the house. While the books went up in sparkling whirls and blew away on a wind turned dark with burning. Montag grinned the fierce grin of all men singed and driven back by flame. He knew that when he returned to the firehouse, he might wink at himself, a minstrel man, Does% burntcorked, in the mirror. Later, going to sleep, he would feel the fiery smile still gripped by his Montag% face muscles, in the dark.

  • David Goodis: Five Noir Novels of the 1940S and 50S Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    DAVID GOODIS: FIVE NOIR NOVELS OF THE 1940S AND 50S PDF, EPUB, EBOOK David Goodis, Robert Polito | 848 pages | 16 Oct 2014 | The Library of America | 9781598531480 | English | New York, United States David Goodis: Five Noir Novels of the 1940s and 50s PDF Book To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up. My impression, and I'm nowhere near the end of reading all of Goodis, is that he is a kind of American Sartre, a two-fisted Dante being backed into a solid wall of desperation and doubt. It will allow future generations to plunge into the luxurious sensation one experiences when reading a Goodis novel, even though it never lasts for long, and is accompanied by the dismal knowledge that it will soon be over. Robert Polito Editor. Parry steps into the room, and addresses his best friend:. May 27, Ben rated it liked it. Goodis is more like a Mickey Spillane with a soul. Robin Friedman I don't feel that this is a fault, however, because I believe Goodis's surrealism is intentional. One of the problems with this is clunky plotting. How to read this? Project support for this volume was provided by the Geoffrey C. He is overly reliant on coincidence and often having a character overhear long sections of dialogue. I much-loved the anthology, especially "Street of No Return. Nicholson Baker. No trackbacks yet.

  • Jim Thompson's Oklahoma
    Smithsonian Channel: Original Programming in HD and On D... http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/show_sou... Search The Darkest Guidebook Ever? Before Jim Thompson became the dean of American noir novelists with classics like The Killer Inside Me (soon to be a major motion picture with Kate Hudson and Casey Affleck) and The Grifters, he grew up in a place where life mirrored pulp. Born in Oklahoma in 1914, by his twenties Thompson had bounced around Oklahoma towns, worked as a West Texas oil hand, and procured booze and women to hotel guests as a bellboy. In the 1930s, as the Great Depression deepened, Thompson was struggling to avoid poverty by writing about the outlaws, bad cops and wild spaces of Oklahoma. First he wrote for the pulps – Master Detective, True Detective, and more. But when he couldn’t eke out a living for his family with the pay from those magazines, Thompson took a job writing for the tours section of the WPA guide to Oklahoma. Gradually his writing skills made him invaluable and he worked his way up to become the guide’s main editor. The result may be one of the darkest guidebooks ever. Thompson kicked off a chapter about local folklore with an account of an Oklahoman who "ran amuck on a visit to town and, in the course of a few minutes, killed a representative of each of five races." Retracing his steps with the WPA guidebook is like getting a Coen Brothers' tour of the Blood Simple or No Country for Old Men. It opens your eyes to a side of America that Thompson saw for real before he made it up.
