"Some of the people that were in this room, there were like five people that kept me going for 20 years with these little jobs." Coolidge said. You’ve given me a new beginning… You changed my life in a million different ways."Ĭoolidge reflected on moments of her career including Legally Blonde and American Pie and the difficulty of working in Hollywood. "And then you get older and think, 'Oh, what the fuck is going to happen? And, Mike White, you have given me hope. I thought I was going to be queen of Monaco even though someone else did it," she said. "I had such big dreams and expectations as a younger person, but what happened is they get sort of fizzled by life. In her heartfelt and hilarious speech, she popped her heavy statuette on the floor - "I can put this down, right? I don't work out, you know? What I mean is I can’t hold it that long," - and reflected on her career, before championing The White Lotus creator himself (and making him cry in the process).

The fault was traced to the initial 4K data when one of the scanned reels contained some overlap in content and this wasn't flagged in the initial conform. This error was not spotted by the producers, the facility that carried out the work or the filmmaker who approved the restoration. "Sadly, we have identified a fault on our 12 Monkeys UHD disc (FCD2191/AV380), where at approximately 41 minutes some footage is briefly repeated with no interruption to the soundtrack. Arrow admitted the misprint, vowing to correct it (a similar problem was discovered in Arrow's 4K release of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer). This error was spotted by fans, who contacted Arrow Video to point it out.

There are two releases of the film, by different companies, one from Arrow Video (released both in the US and UK) and the US Blu-ray by Universal. Just as she reached for her clutch, an arm snaked between them and threw down a few dollars. They squeezed into a space only big enough for one person. It took her a moment to figure out which direction her friend was going, but they soon found themselves at the bar. She held on tight to Lexa’s hand, afraid she would lose her as they wove through the crowd. “Come on!” Lexa pulled Persephone down a set of stairs that led to the ground floor. Overhead, the ceiling was lined with crystal and wrought-iron chandeliers. People moved against each other in a mesmerizing rhythm under a stream of red light. A sunken dance floor held bodies like water in a basin. Several plush booths were arranged in cozy settings and packed with people, but it was the center of the club that drew Persephone’s attention. There were people everywhere-crowded around tables playing cards and drinking, at the bar shoulder to shoulder, their silhouettes ignited by a red backlight. The Goddess of Spring found herself on a balcony overlooking the floor of the club. Narcissus, Persephone recognized the scent. Lexa grabbed Persephone’s hand and pulled her through.Ī blast of cool air hit her, carrying the scent of spirits, sweat, and something akin to bitter oranges. Once they were cleared, the ogres opened another set of doors. In those few lines, Oyeyemi provides what may be the perfect summation of her own work. Woe to those who believe in what is written, and woe to those who don’t.” (296) The film seems to be a judgment upon the written word and the stranglehold it assumes. “you can neither see into these siblings’ lives nor out. Is it possible that the other really believes the horrible smears they’re writing? If not, how can they tell? “Tension darkens each frame,” Oyeyemi writes. But as they do so, their own relationship disintegrates, until the two lose the ability to distinguish sincerity from falsehood. They spin tales of disloyalty and staged liaisons, fiction upon defamatory fiction. Following instructions written on a wall in an abandoned house, they each begin circulating rumours that the other is a spy. The siblings, who are propaganda writers, are given a test by the Party. It’s a short “spectral wisp” of a movie, a story about a brother and sister in Cold War Russia. Late in Helen Oyeyemi’s beguiling new collection of stories, What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours, a character becomes obsessed with a film.

Between 19, Fox-who is certainly better remembered nowadays as a writer for such DC Comics superhero tites as Batman, Hawkman, The Flash, and Justice League of America-composed at least 13 (and perhaps more) paperback novels featuring Eve Drum, the “Lady from L.U.S.T.” The Web site Spy Guys and Gals explains:Īs the West’s love for spy fiction reached its highest point with James Bond on the screen and Napoleon Solo on the television, it was natural that publishers would branch out with series geared totally towards a love of down-and-dirty sex. Part of a month-long celebration of artist Paul Rader’s work.ĥ Beds to Mecca, by “Rod Gray,” aka Gardner F. I could just as easily have started with this second book, Fire Inside without having read Own the Wind. I wish now that I had read Motorcycle Man first, but I have discovered that Ashley provides the necessary exposition to help you follow the story line no matter what book you choose first. When the Chaos series was introduced, starting with Own the Wind, I decided to jump in with this series. My friends on Goodreads have recommended that I read Motorcycle Man, from Ashley’s Dream Man series, but I never had the chance. So, when I find novels that involve motorcycles, they immediately jump to my attention. For me, the exhilaration and freedom of riding without restraint on the open highway is a way to escape the tedium that daily life inevitably brings. In 2003, I decided to get off the back and ride my own. I’ve been riding on motorcycles all my life. Now the trick will be to convince her of that. And he doesn’t regret it when he finds that Lanie is the best thing that’s ever happened to him-in or out of bed. But when she gives Hop the once-over with her bedroom eyes and offers him a night in paradise, he can’t say no. She’s too polished and too classy for his tastes. So when Lanie propositions Hop Kincaid, all she wants is one wild night with the hot-as-hell biker who patrols with the Chaos Motorcycle Club…įor Hop, Lanie has always been untouchable. Lanie Heron isn’t looking for love-no surprise, considering her last serious relationship nearly got her killed. Purchase on Amazon: Fire Inside: A Chaos Novel Fire Inside (Chaos # 2) by Kristen Ashley Book Description Here is Avrom Amos giving Freddie a history lesson: "You didn't hear told his Nazi meshuggeners, those lunatics, 'Soldiers of Germany, have some fun and go murder a million and a half Jewish kids? All ages! Babies, fine. The dybbuk's voice will shock some readers he speaks in embittered, Yiddish-inflected English that drives home his point. He wants to track down the infamous SS colonel who not only killed him but also tortured children, including his sister, and before long, the dybbuk co-opts Freddie's act and his interviews to spread the word about the SS colonel. But Avrom Amos has his own agenda, as Freddie knows. The dybbuk makes good on his promise, and Freddie's act becomes the toast of Paris. Avrom Amos is a dybbuk, a wandering soul or ghost, and, by demonstrating how he might speak for Freddie's wooden dummy, Avrom Amos convinces Freddie to let him lodge within Freddie. And then Avrom Amos Poliakov shows up rather, takes over. The "Great Freddie" is a decorated GI, an orphan who has stayed in Europe and, by 1948, has found a toehold as a ventriloquist. Traveling into territory more commonly associated with Isaac Bashevis Singer, Newbery Medalist Fleischman (The Whipping Boy) draws attention to the especially cruel treatment of Jewish children during the Holocaust. If you haven't read the books I would suggest reading them first as the story is a little bit different in the audio series. I would highly recommend the audio series to anyone who loved reading the Left Behind: The Kids series. Not having the character in the audio altered the story a bit, mainly in the later volumes. She is in the early episodes but is written out of the later volumes. The one thing that really disappointed me with the audio is that one of the main characters Shelly in the book series was written almost entirely out of the audio. The audio does differ some from the book series. The audio features talented voice actors, awesome music and sound effects, and great original songs (I wish there was a soundtrack of just the songs that are featured in several episodes throughout the series). The Left Behind: The Kids Audiobooks are fantastic! I have listened to all six volumes several times and I still listen to them.
