![]() ![]() Directors such as Wes Craven, Roman Polanski, John Carpenter, and Brian De Palma-counterculture types operating largely outside Hollywood-revolutionized the genre, exploding taboos and bringing a gritty aesthetic, confrontational style, and political edge to horror. ![]() Shock Value tells the unlikely story of how the much-disparaged horror film became an ambitious art form while also conquering the multiplex. Based on unprecedented access to the genre's major players, New York Times critic Jason Zinoman's Shock Value delivers the first definitive account of horror's golden age.By the late 1960s, horror was stuck in the past, confined mostly to drive-in theaters and exploitation houses and shunned by critics. Much has been written about the storied New Hollywood of the 1970s, but while Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Francis Ford Copola were making their first classic movies, a parallel universe of directors gave birth to the modern horror film-aggressive, raw, and utterly original. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I personally believe Patch scared the pants off normal, and it took off running for the far side of the world. He’s also a fallen angel, kicked out of heaven for his flexibility when it comes to following rules. The sound of his voice, low and sexy, can melt my heart in three seconds flat. Patch has seven inches on me, operates on cold, hard logic, moves like smoke, and lives alone in a supersecret, superswanky studio beneath Delphic Amusement Park. Normal and I parted ways when Patch strolled into my life. As in, I wouldn’t know normal if it marched up and poked me in the eye. Crew outlet and spending my babysitting money on iTunes, normal and I have recently become perfect strangers. My name is Nora Grey, and while I used to be an average American teen, buying my clothes at the J. My ideal Saturday night would be at home, snuggling on the sofa and watching a rom-com with my boyfriend, Patch. THE EARSPLITTING MUSIC, THE gyrating bodies, the inebriated smiles-not my thing. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1-owned-all (1) 2001-2100 (1) 2016 (2) 4-dnf (1) adult (7) anthology (3) cat-shifters (4) Celia Kyle (2) celia-kyle (14) digital (9) ebook (11) ebooks-other (1) erotic (2) erotica (3) fated-mates (3) fav-shifter-books (1) feline-shifters (1) fox shifters (1) freebie-online (3) icl (9) Kindle (12) kindle-finished (1) kindle-own-library (3) lion shifters (2) lion-shifters (1) missing-shelf (1) novella (3) On Shelf (10) paranormal (29) paranormal fantasy (5) paranormal romance (11) premissing (1) rabbit shifters (1) read in 2012 (5) read-2013 (2) rescue-recovery (1) Ridgeville (12) Ridgeville series (5) romance (28) romantic comedy (5) romantic suspense (5) series (4) shapeshifters (17) shifter (11) shifters (13) short story (2) short-stories-novella (1) to-read (71) were-shifters (1) wit-lit (1) Top Members ![]() ![]() ![]() It reached the point that they had signed most of the original cast and they were about to begin shooting when suddenly Star Wars came out and Paramount decided to turn the pilot script into a movie. Finally a TV series- Star Trek II or Star Trek: Phase II-was given the green light for development. After that, a movie was developed but the script was ultimately rejected. The first culmination was the animated series. ![]() Essentially, it revealed that soon after the cancellation of the original series, Gene Roddenberry had been approached to develop some new version of the series. Even then, that book only contained tantalizing hints. I didn’t really get the story about what happened until I read Susan Sackett’s The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture a year or so after the movie came out. A new Star Trek movie and series.Īs time went on, I heard less and less about the new series. The article, as I recall, expressed some hope that if the movie proved a success, Paramount would move ahead with the series. Apparently the sets and models for Star Trek II would be upgraded and used for the new movie. The article also mentioned a planned television series called Star Trek II was on hold. As a young Star Trek fan, this was exciting news indeed. I remember picking up a magazine sometime in 1978 announcing the forthcoming movie Star Trek: The Motion Picture. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The second most popular girls’ name starting with J is Jade, named for the precious, pale-green stone used in carvings and jewelry.
