Superman Vs. Hollywood
Author: Jake Rossen
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1556527314
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Superman has fought for nearly seven decades to conquer radio, television, and film--but his battles behind the scenes have proved a far greater threat than any fictional foe. For the first time, one book unearths all the details of his turbulent adventures in Tinseltown. Based on extensive interviews with producers, screenwriters, cast members, and crew, Superman vs. Hollywood spills the beans on Marlon Brando's eccentricities; the challenges of making Superman appear to fly; the casting process that at various points had Superman being played by Sylvester Stallone, Neil Diamond, Nicolas Cage, Ashton Kutcher, and even Muhammad Ali; and the Superman movies, fashioned by such maverick filmmakers as Kevin Smith and Tim Burton, that never made it to the screen.

Popeye
Author: Fred M. Grandinetti
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 078641605X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
It's a rare comic character who can make audiences laugh for well over half a century--but then again, it's a pretty rare cartoon hero who can boast of forearms thicker than his waist, who can down a can of spinach in a single gulp, or who generally faces the world with one eye squinted completely shut. When E.C. Segar's gruff but lovable sailor man first tooted his pipe to the public on January 7, 1929, it was not in the animated cartoon format for which he is best known today (and which would become the longest running series in film history). Instead it was on the comics page of the New York Journal, as Segar's Thimble Theatre strip. Over the decades to come, Popeye was to appear on radio, television, stage, and even in a live-action feature film. This comprehensive and lavishly illustrated history is a thoroughly updated and revised edition of the highly acclaimed 1994 work. Animated series and films are examined, noting the different directions each studio took and the changing character designs of the Popeye family. Popeye in other media--comics, books, radio, and a stage play--is thoroughly covered, as are Robert Altman's 1980 live-action film, and Popeye memorabilia.

Pages : 220
Book Description
Named by Reader's Digest as one of the Best Romances of ALL TIME Get ready to laugh out loud with this hilarious romantic comedy featuring: A grumpy firefighter who thinks his way is the only way A bubbly cupcake vendor who thinks her pup can do no wrong Adorable Dalmatians who swap places—and the chaos that ensues An opposites-attract romance that'll warm your heart Violet March and Sam Nash are as different as night and day and have been enemies ever since Violet accused Sam of dognapping her beloved Dalmatian. Sam knows that would never happen—his well-trained fire safety demonstration dog never steps out of line, whereas Violet's problematic pooch has never met a command she didn't ignore completely, much like her bubbly owner. So when Sprinkles and Cinder accidentally switch places during the annual police vs. fire department softball tournament, Violet is thrilled by her dog's sudden perfect behavior, while stubborn-yet-charming Sam is horrified to find that his dog no longer listens. But when they eventually realize and switch the dogs back, Sam and Violet are shocked to find that not everything is as simple as it seems. And a little puppy love might be just the thing they've been missing... Praise for Teri Wilson: "Teri Wilson is the Queen of Romantic Comedy."—Sarah Morgan, USA Today bestselling author "A preposterous premise [turned] into delightfully escapist fun."—Kirkus Reviews for The Accidental Beauty Queen "A delightful romp."—Library Journal Starred Review for Royally Roma
