Natural Born Killers Natural Born Killers is a 1994 American crime-action film directed by Oliver Stone about two victims of traumatic childhoods who became lovers and mass murderers, and are irresponsibly glorified by the mass media. It stars Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, along with Rodney Dangerfield, Robert Downey, Jr., Tom Sizemore, and Tommy Lee Jones. The film is based on a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino that was heavily revised by Stone with writer Dave Veloz and associate producer Richard Rutowski. Notorious for its violent content, the film was named the eighth most controversial film of all time by Entertainment Weekly in 2006.[2] Natural Born Killers was promoted with such taglines as: "A bold new film that takes a look at a country seduced by fame, obsessed by crime and consumed by the media" and "In the media circus of life, they were the main attraction." Plot[edit] Introduction Mickey Knox and his wife Mallory stop at a roadside café in the New Mexico desert. Part I Part II Part III
Стихи и бызлы - Помощь зала Спасибо. Я прочла, и мне категорически не понравилось. В Пратчета Вы, коллега, не верите, потому что читаете его по-русски. Я точно так же в Вудхауза не верил всё детство. Из авторов беллетристики меня в последнее время очень радовали Jasper Fforde и Thomas Bernhard. Из т.н. фантастики Greg Egan. Не снобируйте, коллега, Вудхауз мне и в переводе нравится (а в сериале – и того пуще), т. ч. сомневаюсь, что поверю в мир Пратчетта на каком угодно языке. Беркович порадовал чрезвычайно. Угу. Вернон Салливан он же Борис Виан "Уничтожить всех уродов"Рома Тирн "Москит" - добротненько краем о гражданской войне на Шри-Ланке, романтических соплей на страницу текста в среднем не очень много.еще "Дневники Энди Уорхола" за десятилетие с 60 по 70. Я вот из последнего впечатлилась хоптоновской "Дуэлью", из непреходящего - сборники "Память", за 50 рублей в славном городе Питере два тома, про Блокаду. Сейчас вот поняла, что ничего из худлита или как это правильно называется не читала уже лет так несколько.
Natural Born Killers (1994 China Miéville China Tom Miéville (/ˈtʃaɪnə miˈeɪvəl/; born 6 September 1972) is an English fantasy fiction author, comic writer and academic. He is fond of describing his fiction as "weird fiction" (after early 20th-century pulp and horror writers such as H. P. Lovecraft), and belongs to a loose group of writers sometimes called New Weird. Early life[edit] Born in Norwich, Miéville was brought up in Willesden, northwest London, and has lived in the city since early childhood. Education[edit] Miéville attended Oakham School, a co-educational independent school in Oakham, Rutland, for two years. Miéville studied for a BA degree in social anthropology at Clare College, Cambridge, graduating in 1994, and gained both a Masters' degree and PhD in international relations from the London School of Economics in 2001. Literary influences[edit] In 2010, Miéville made his first foray into writing for RPGs with a contribution to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game supplement Guide to the River Kingdoms.[5] Honours[edit]
'Columbine,' 'We Need to Talk About Kevin," Jared Lee Loughner's Competency Report, and the Value of Studying Mass Killers By Alyssa Rosenberg "‘Columbine,’ ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin,” Jared Lee Loughner’s Competency Report, and the Value of Studying Mass Killers" After the shooting at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado in July, I finally started reading Dave Cullen’s Columbine, which I finished just as word broke that a white supremacist had killed six people and wounded three at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin before committing suicide. There’s been a lot of conversation, particularly in the wake of The Dark Knight Rises massacre, about the desirability of denying the people who commit these crimes press and memory. At the request of victims’ families, President Obama declined to use the name of James Holmes, who is accused of the Aurora shootings. One of the reasons that Columbine, in particular, is important, is that it dispels myths about both persons and policy that grew up in the wake of the shooting.

Carver was a major writer of the late 20th century and a major force in the revitalization of the American short story in literature in the 1980s.[citation needed] Early life[edit] Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, a mill town on the Columbia River, and grew up in Yakima, Washington.[1] His father, a skilled sawmill worker from Arkansas, was a fisherman and a heavy drinker.

In the mid-1960s Carver and his family lived in Sacramento, California, where he briefly worked at a bookstore before taking a position as a night custodian at Mercy Hospital.

It’s perfectly true, We Need to Talk About Kevin is “not an issue-based movie” By David Walsh 21 March 2012 Directed by Lynne Ramsay, screenplay by Ramsay and Rory Kinnear, based on the novel by Lionel Shriver We Need to Talk About Kevin Before the film opens, the character referred to in the title of Lynne Ramsay’s We Need to Talk About Kevin, at the age of 15, has massacred a number of his fellow schoolmates. In flashbacks, we learn something about his short, unhappy life. His mother, Eva Khatchadourian (Tilda Swinton), we soon discover, was somewhat ambivalent about having a child in the first place. Kevin is nothing but trouble from the moment of his birth. The one thing Kevin (Ezra Miller, as the older boy) does take to is archery. These episodes from Kevin’s upbringing are intercut with scenes of Eva’s wretched existence in the present. The filmmakers go to some lengths to render Kevin as a sociopath. To what end? The incidence of school shootings in the US is a serious social problem. In a review, the WSWS commented at the time: The author also recommends:
Letter to a Child Never Born Letter to a Child Never Born (Italian: Lettera a un bambino mai nato, 1975) is a novel by Italian author and journalist Oriana Fallaci. It is written as a letter by young professional woman (presumably Fallaci herself) to the fetus she carries in utero; it details the woman's struggle to choose between a career she loves and an unexpected pregnancy, explaining the how life works with examples of her childhood, and warning him/her about the unfairness of the world. The English translation was first published in 1976. At the end of the English version, the woman has a miscarriage. The book sold four million copies worldwide.
