From a Buick 8 is a later-period King novel, and honestly, it's not that great. King adaptations are in vogue again, which means everyone and their mother is trying to adapt the leftover titles that have yet to find their way to the screen. He's a good director – Cold in July is particularly strong, throwing off serious John Carpenter vibes. Mickle's credits include Stake Land, We Are What We Are, Cold in July, and the recent Netflix film In the Shadow of the Moon. But here's one thing we now know: Jim Mickle is going to direct. He's also working on a fourth, From a Buick 8, but the fate of that film remains a bit up in the air.

![]() In it, Mowgli hears the story of how the tiger got his stripes. A forerunner of these stories is Kipling's "How Fear Came", in The Second Jungle Book (1895). ![]() The stories, first published in 1902, are origin stories, fantastic accounts of how various features of animals came to be. Evolutionary biologists have noted that what Kipling did in fiction in a Lamarckian way, they have done in reality, providing Darwinian explanations for the evolutionary development of animal features. ![]() The stories have appeared in a variety of adaptations including a musical and animated films.

But Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 15 that we will not be eternally complete until our resurrection. To be with Christ in the present heaven is better by far than living on earth under the curse. He did not design us to be disembodied spirits as Plato taught, yet sadly, many Christians believe just that. He joined spirit and body to make us completely human. God made Adam from the earth to live on it, not float on the air. But it will be spiritual, under the holy control of a redeemed and righteous spirit. The term “spiritual body” doesn’t mean an incorporeal body made of spirit - there is no such thing. It is sown a natural body it is raised a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:42–44). It is sown in dishonor it is raised in glory. In fact, it tells us a lot, and gives us solid reasons to deduce much more.įor instance, Paul wrote, “ is sown is perishable is raised imperishable. ![]() Yet how many of us ponder what our resurrected selves will be like?

The epigraph to Howards End, the book he described with typical modesty as “my best novel and approaching a good novel,” seems to capture the leading idea of all his work-the moral importance of connection between individuals, across the barriers of race, class, and nation. Forster is discussed, the phrase “only connect” is sure to come up sooner or later. (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 180 pp., $24) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tickets Available ($5 for a guaranteed seat, $19.

The goal of this paper is to collapse the binary of male and female and justify the self-identity of marginalized groups represented by the Binewski family. Finally, this paper centers on the crowd’s gaze on the Binewski family and how the family members collapse the stereotype about them to establish their self-identity. Next, this paper elaborates on the gaze of mass media represented by the camera’s gaze, specifically explaining how it exerts influence on consumers but fails to affect Oly. ![]() I will then contrast the male gaze and female gaze in the novel, collapsing the binary of male and female. First, this paper gives a brief introduction about the gaze theory. This paper will focus on the gaze in the book through four sections. Reading the book from the perspective of the gaze creates a new understanding about marginalized groups. Previous scholarship has barely touched upon these topics in Geek Love. A close reading of the novel reveals opportunities to apply gaze theory to analyze it. Geek Love reckons with patriarchal themes and the marginalization of “freaks,” represented in the novel by the Binewski family. ![]() ![]() True Crime is, at the very least, a morally complicated phenomenon: ostensibly journalism, it also serves up actual murder as entertainment. ![]() ‘Devil House’ is about True Crime, as a genre, but what that really means is that it’s about our cultural relationship to murder. Chandler, who’s speciality is the extensive imagining of the spaces in which murders occur, moves into the porn shop, hoping to figure out what really happened there. ![]() ![]() The bodies, badly mutilated, were discovered amidst occult decoration, and local lore has sprung up that the culprits were a practicing Satanic cult. The murders, believed to be the work of local teenagers, happened in an abandoned porn shop. ‘Devil House’ is, loosely speaking, a story about a True Crime writer named Gage Chandler who becomes professionally obsessed with a pair of grisly murders in Milpitas, California. It means they actually liked the book they’re reviewing. I get really excited when reviewers are surprised – it means they aren’t just rubber-stamping things based on cultural consensus. More than that, it got those reviews from reviewers who seemed honestly surprised that the lead singer of the Mountain Goats actually turned out to be able to write good books (I am also surprised, because people aren’t usually good at multiple things). I picked up ‘Devil’s House’ because it got really, really good reviews. It is that very rare thing: a novel which is also an effective moral document, moving, smart, and not annoying. ‘Devil House’ does for murder what I wanted ‘The Final Girl Support Group’ to do for horror. ![]() |
