Jess Nevins LoEG Annotations Annotations for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Nemo: River of Ghosts By Jess Nevins Page 4. "Pendant Books" Padraig O Mealoid points out that this is the same publisher that's named on the cover of Sal Paradyse's Crazy Wide Forever in the Black Dossier. I believe this is a reference to the Harold Robbins novel The Carpetbaggers (1961), which became a 1964 film of the same name, directed by Edward Dmytryk. (I confess to not understanding the “Centurion” part of the title). Nevada Smith, a character in The Carpetbaggers, was mentioned Nemo’s Heart of Ice on Page 7 Panel 2. Re Jonas Cord: Centurion: From Wikipaedia Cord personally pilots a gigantic flying boat called the Centurion, "the biggest airplane ever built", to prove its airworthiness in order to meet a naval contract condition. Interesting presumably unintended echo between 'Hughes H-4 Hercules' and Hugo Hercules... “Irving Clifford.” Page 5. This is a reference to the Men’s Adventure genre of pulp-style magazines.

Top 5 'Lost' Western Film Classics — WhatCulture.com Everyone loves a western surely? From John Wayne being an all American hero in John Ford’s early classics… to Jimmy Stewart as the ‘Naked Spur’… Late sixties revisionist years with Leone’s Dollars Trilogy, ‘Once Upon A Time in the West’ and Peckinpah’s ‘Wild Bunch’… and rebirth with Eastwood’s ‘Unforgiven’. So many timeless classics to wile away an afternoon or evening on the delights of DVD players. Around similar era’s are some ‘lost’ western classics that for one reason or another aren’t held in the same universal regard or even heard off. They’re usually met with western anoraks like myself with critical acclaim as some of the best ever made in the genre. 5. (1980 Michael Cimino) Gasp! It’s a brave film too as if you’re going to fail go for the epic spectacular. 4. (2003 Kevin Costner) I’ll hold my hand up and admit I was dubious about ever watching ‘Open Range’ my first thoughts included – ‘Costner directing a western? …To say I wasn’t disappointed would be an understatement. 3. 2.
The Second Coming - Yeats William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The darkness drops again but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? The Second Coming was written in 1919 in the aftermath of the first World War. This printing of the poem has a page break between lines 17 and 18 making the stanza division unclear. Several of the lines in the version above differ from those found in subsequent versions. Yeats, William Butler.

Ask Chris Special Edition: The Best Of 'Ask Chris' This week marks the 200th installment of ComicsAlliance’s weekly Ask Chris column, in which senior writer Chris Sims tackles reader questions that send him delving into comics history, the metaphors at the heart of his favorite characters that have developed over decades and, every now and then, straight up fan-fiction. To mark the occasion, we’ve gone back through the archives (and taken a quick poll of readers) to sort out the absolute best of the past 200 columns, covering topics like the secular humanism at the heart of Scooby-Doo, the complicated chronology of Super Mario Bros., the 75-year competition between Marvel and DC, and more. And Batman. So, so much Batman. Click each title to read the full article! Fueled by the anticipation for The Dark Knight Rises, Chris takes a look back at Bane, both as a foil for Batman and the ultimate synthesis of several "evil Batman" characters -- including an often-overlooked direct prototype from a few years before Bane made his debut.
Machete Order For Star Wars Brace yourselves, what follows is an amazingly long blog post about the best order in which to watch Star Wars. First, let me say this: for people that couldn't care less about the prequel trilogy, I suggest Harmy's Despecialized Editions. They are 720p videos that are the result of "Harmy" from The Original Trilogy forums painstakingly reconstructing the theatrical releases of all three films utilizing a wide variety of video sources as well as custom mattes. Downloading, burning, labeling, and printing cases for these films is one of the neckbeardiest things I've done (aside from writing this blog post), and I'm extremely glad I did it. So, with that out of the way, what can you do if you do wish to involve the prequel trilogy? Whatever your reason, if you are showing someone the official editions of Star Wars for the first time, you have to make a decision about which order to watch the films. So neither order really works. What Gets Removed?
