Sinossi

"Fake Movie Myths" tackles the pervasive misinformation surrounding cinema, separating fact from fiction in film history and popular culture. It explores how certain movie "facts," like the ubiquity of the Wilhelm Scream, gain traction and become accepted truths despite lacking evidence. The book delves into why these film myths are so easily believed, examining the psychological factors and social forces that shape our perception of movies and Hollywood.

 
Each chapter of "Fake Movie Myths" dissects specific categories of these myths, such as on-set incidents or casting controversies, providing factual evidence and expert opinions to reveal the truth. It highlights the importance of critically examining the stories we tell ourselves about film history to gain a deeper understanding of the art form. By debunking these false narratives, the book aims to restore accuracy and promote a more nuanced appreciation of cinematic achievements.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts of film myth-making, then dedicating individual chapters to specific myths. The book concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of film myths, including their role in shaping popular culture. This unique approach combines rigorous research with accessible storytelling, offering critical viewing strategies to help readers discern fact from fiction in their own film experiences.

    It is fitting that the debut of Jimmy Cost – the New Mexican outlaw poet, singer and songwriter – is a memoir. A book of spontaneously fine-tuned ballads that reflect the many relationships of the multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic artist. First Thing on the Road is rooted in the connection of energies through lost love, the acceptance of unrequited love and realizing the truth in “true” love.

    My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
    
    Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
    
    Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
    
    The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
    
    The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

    This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Welcome to the fascinating journey through the life and legacy of John Calvin, a remarkable figure in the annals of Christian history. In this book, we will delve into the life of a man whose ideas and teachings have left an indelible mark on Protestantism and the broader theological landscape. As a seasoned historian with over four decades of experience in studying the complexities of ancient, medieval, and modern history, I'm excited to be your guide through the life of John Calvin. This book is not just a recounting of events but a journey into the heart and mind of a French theologian and pastor who reshaped the religious landscape of his time. 
    John Calvin was born on July 10, 1509, in Noyon, Picardy, France. Little did the world know that this unassuming birth would lead to a seismic shift in the Christian faith. His journey encompasses pivotal moments in the Protestant Reformation, theological debates, and the establishment of Reformed Protestantism. 
    Throughout this book, we will explore the significant events that shaped Calvin's life. From his early education in Paris to his conversion to Protestantism and his influential work, "Institutes of the Christian Religion," we will walk alongside him as he faces exile, controversy, and the challenges of religious leadership in Geneva. Calvin's impact extended beyond his time, as his theological writings, commentaries, and letters continue to inspire and influence theologians, scholars, and believers around the world.

    Many of us are cautious around dogs.  However friendly they seem their energy and open panting jaws seem to summon some primitive instinct within us to be aware. 
     
    Once we advance to wolves those fears become rather more persuasive. Their wild and seemingly vicious, determined natures can induce panic in even the most foolhardy of us.  Nature admires winners. 
     
    From there it is but a short step to the supernatural evil of Werewolves.  Now fear is definitely the thing we feel pulsing through our veins summoning a flight response.  But no matter what our hopes are werewolves, whether real or in the imaginations of this cast of chilling unrepentant authors, stroke knowing chords of terror into every sentence, as the pages turn our uneasiness begins to escalate.  Terror begins to track our every step.   
     
    With such literary craftsmen as Saki, Hugh Walpole, Ambrose Bierce, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle and others, that feeling happens time and time again.
