Some greatness, some fillerBy HkgZOBIrZ Evan J. PetersonWhat's most impressive about this collection is the number of F4nN7jP5E stories written by people involved in the production of the Hellraiser films: 32toKHZwl Peter Atkins (screenwriter), Barbie Wilde and Nicholas Vince (actors who uivgt81p2 played Cenobites), etc. There are also stories by horror director Mick Garris DHYZpunlT and genre titans Neil Gaiman and Steve Niles. However, the quality of stories is UC8J7QCTC hit-or-miss.Like many anthologies loosely based on a pre-existing mythos, this rOj2TkZuD one is a mix of strong stories, crappy stories, and decent horror that probably lptxPU3FG isn't about the Hellraiser universe but managed to be close enough to fit the CVUv4YfeJ term "inspired by." Favorite stories include Barbie Wilde's "Sister Cilice," the 8uC2GS2vv origin of the so-called "Female Cenobite" written by the actress herself who je4izLbfM played her in part 2. I also thoroughly enjoyed Sarah Langan's "The Dark Ru6CZzLAx Materials Project" and Mark Morris's "Mother's Ruin." I won't knock the lesser- tVrmKC3SS known writers, but I will knock Richard Christian Matheson's flash fiction piece ON07mFR82 "Bulimia," which doesn't seem like a Hellraiser related piece at all. But I suppose having RCM in the book raises sales.

  • Prodigals in Love: Narrating Gay Identity and Collectivity on the Early Internet in China
    Prodigals in Love: Narrating Gay Identity and Collectivity on the Early Internet in China by Gang Pan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Gang Pan 2015 Prodigals in Love: Narrating Gay Identity and Collectivity on the Early Internet in China Gang Pan Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation concerns itself with the eruption of a large number of gay narratives on the Chinese internet in its first decade. There are two central arguments. First, the composing and sharing of narratives online played the role of a social movement that led to the formation of gay identity and collectivity in a society where open challenges to the authorities were minimal. Four factors, 1) the primacy of the internet, 2) the vernacular as an avenue of creativity and interpretation, 3) the transitional experience of the generation of the internet, and 4) the evolution of gay narratives, catalyzed by the internet, enhanced, amplified, and interacted with each other in a highly complicated and accelerated dynamic, engendered a virtual gay social movement. Second, many online gay narratives fall into what I term “prodigal romance,” which depicts gay love as parent-obligated sons in love with each other, weaving in violent conflicts between desire and duty in its indigenous context. The prodigal part of this model invokes the archetype of the Chinese prodigal, who can only return home having excelled and with the triumph of his journey.

Frank Oz comenzó en el programa como titiritero manejando e interpretando a teleñecos como el Monstruo de las galletas o Coco hasta convertirse también en guionista. Su éxito fue tal que en 1977 estrenaron su propio espacio televisivo, El show de los Teleñecos (The SINOPSIS Muppet Show, Jim Henson 1976-1981). Hace mil años, en un mundo fantástico, la ruptura de un Cristal Oscuro fue su primer largometraje, y también el primero hecho con cristal mágico desencadenó una títeres.
