Series list: Stephen Kings The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger (3 Books) by Stephen King. ![]() It would be difficult for even the best in the business to adequately bring the story to life through cinema but these clowns didn't even try. I love the Dark Tower novels and would recommend them to anybody. The series theme song was sung by Frankie Laine. Other Avenging Angels and Gunslinger books have been written by Richard Prosch, Wayne D. ![]() Idris Elba manages to salvage some artistic integrity from the ruins with a reasonable performance but there is not much one can do with such a godforsaken script. Reading order: The Gunslinger (Dark Tower book 1) The Drawing of the Three (Dark Tower book 2) The Waste Lands (Dark Tower book 3) Wizard and Glass (Dark. Gunslinger is a Western television series starring Tony Young that aired on the CBS television network from February 9 until on Thursdays from 9 to 10 p.m. ![]() As for Matthew McConaughey, I've never been much of a fan and this tragic performance confirms my suspicions that he is one of the most one-dimensional and overrated actors in the business. it manages to achieve the double whammy of being completely incomprehensible to non-book readers whilst also being highly insulting to fans of the novels. I'm not sure what was going through the heads of the people involved with this limp mess of a movie. Stephen King's Dark Tower novels may have their flaws but they are nonetheless a highly creative juggernaut that deserved either a fully committed TV adaptation or to be simply left alone. ![]()

They wanted knowledge of their own things, their own things first. ![]() Here is Hemi, adoptive father of Toko, reflecting on cultural transitions that occurred in his lifetime (roughly since 1945, as the book appeared in 1986). She reveals different voices and perspectives through several of the narrators we encounter. It is hard to select just a few passages to share as examples of Grace's writing. The importance of oral tradition and story-telling is emphasized in the entire book, with major clan meetings including storytelling, current affairs given meaning by reference to stories of the past, and children educated by collecting news articles to create a "book" that narrates important events in the family's life. In this tale, a child nicknamed Toko plays play central role as the potiki in both senses, as a special person who hears the stories of the past and foresees the changes in stories to come.Ĭarvings in the wharenui are visual memories of the past stories, going back centuries, and so are perhaps similar to religious icons in Western European tradition. The first is a demi-god named Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga and the second is the youngest child. The editor's note says the name Potiki has dual meanings. ![]() Rabbie burns auld lang syne5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Traditions at New YearĪuld Lang Syne is traditionally sung at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve in Scotland and around the world, especially in English-speaking countries.Īt Hogmanay in Scotland, traditionally everyone joins hands to form a large circle. He is widely considered Scotland’s national poet and is best known for being part of a group who wrote in the Scots language. Some of the lyrics were collated along with his own – the ballad “Old Long Syne” printed in 1711 by James Watson has some similarities in the first verse to Burns’, for example. He was a Scottish poet and wrote the poem “Auld Lang Syne” in 1788. He was also known as Rabbie Burns and the Bard of Ayrshire. Robert Burns was born in 1759 and died in 1796. But the broad seas have roared between usĪnd we will take an excellent good-will drink ![]() Antisocial by Bradley Campbell5/30/2023 ![]() New York: Holt, Rinehart, & Winston.Īvila, C. Implications for parenting of children with low responsiveness to punishment strategies are discussed.Īllport, G. An attempt is then made to model the interactional processes by which parenting and punishment sensitivities in children magnify or diminish each other's progress toward healthy or antisocial development. ![]() We review a largely forgotten literature that shows clearly that sensitivity to punishment is also reliably influenced by the environment itself. Contemporary thinking places these dispositions squarely as basic biological aspects of temperament that moderate the effects of the environment (e.g., parenting) on outcomes (e.g., mental health). Literature from diverse fields, such as psychopathy, child temperament, socialization and the development of moral conscience, conditioning theory, and personality theory, have all utilized the idea that humans differ in their sensitivity to aversive stimuli and the cues that signal their occurrence, as well as their ability to inhibit reward-driven behavior, in the presence of punishment cues. At extremes, children may be seen as “punishment-insensitive,” an heuristic with some value relevant to models of the development of antisocial and aggressive behavior disorders. ![]() ![]() ![]() We review ideas about individual differences in sensitivity or responsiveness to common disciplinary behaviors parents use to correct aggressive and antisocial behavior in children. ![]() Golden domes and silver lanterns5/30/2023 ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.

Lewis5/30/2023 ![]() Thus, there is universal understanding of guilt. ![]() While exploring the moral codes that exist across all time and location, Lewis also notes that everyone fails adherence to their respective moral code. One might imagine it’s the natural explanation for all that appeared beyond explanation, but it is also reasonable to conclude that such belief in the supernatural is grounded in some reality. He notes there seems to be little evolutionary benefit to awe in relation to the spiritual realm. Lewis started by looking at the human foundations of awe and morality. In it, Lewis posits that human suffering and the prospect of hell are insufficient grounds to conclude there is no God or that God is not good and powerful. Lewis, so I moved Lewis’s essay up my list. ![]() His comments reminded me that I had not previously read The Problem of Pain by C.S. Somerset Maugham, the main character’s disbelief in God stemmed from the degree of pain and suffering in the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Allen (London, England), 1983, Leisure (New York, NY), 1988.Įrebus, Star (London, England), 1984, Leisure (New York, NY), 1988. ![]() Slugs, Star (London, England), 1982, Leisure (New York, NY), 1987.

When humans bond together instead of working against each other, a plethora of possibilities open up. The Walking Dead has many main themes, but perhaps the most overarching one across all 11 seasons is the drive to build a community of survivors. It’s when the show introduced a man who was aptly dubbed the Governor (David Morrissey) that we saw how devastating a great villain could be in this universe. ![]() Shane was a traitor to his best friend Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), but he was hardly ever a danger to more people than the dozen or so in the original camp (let’s pour one out for Otis, though). ![]() There were a few characters in the first two seasons who epitomized this idea, chief among them Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal). ![]() A Dash of Trouble by Anna Meriano5/29/2023 ![]() Leo hopes that this might be the year that she gets to help prepare for the big celebration-but, once again, she is told she’s too young.
