![]() ![]() ![]() From the way that he presented evidence in trials, Hopkins is commonly thought to have been trained as a lawyer, but there is scant evidence to suggest this was the case – he probably had a gift for ‘oratory’. ![]() According to tradition Hopkins used his recently acquired inheritance of a hundred marks to establish himself as a gentleman and to buy the Thorn Inn in Mistley. In the early 1640’s Hopkins moved to Manningtree, Essex, a town on the River Stour, about 10 miles (16 km) from Wenham. His father, James Hopkins, was a Puritan clergyman and vicar of St John’s of Great Wenham, in Suffolk. We know, of course, that he was born in Great Wenham, Suffolk and was the fourth son of six children. Matthew Hopkins was born in 1620 and in truth, very little is known of him before 1644 when his witch trials began, and there are no surviving contemporary documents concerning him or his family. ![]() 6/8/2023 0 Comments Ufonauts![]() ![]() In 1967, South American UFO researcher Luis Anglada Font, an ex- WW II fighter pilot and former intelligence operative, published a well-written compilation of U.S. But human ufonauts remain an intriguing part of the picture, and their very existence has suggested very disturbing possibilities to certain investigators. In the Grey-and-Reptoid-haunted 1980’s, 1990’s, and today, it is almost heretical to suggest that any other possible form of occupant can emerge from a UFO. The more notorious “contactee” experiences provided a wealth of god-like, fair-haired saucernauts claiming to be our kindly elder brothers from outer space, visiting Earth to show us the error of our ways. ![]() Some early UFO cases involving occupants, such as those in the ’50s and ’60s, involved more often than not creatures that resembled human beings in most respects.

What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. ![]() Fear doesn’t travel well just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory’s truth. I remember those years-they formed “The Crucible” ’s skeleton-but I have lost the dead weight of the fear I had then. But there they are-Daniel Day-Lewis (John Proctor) scything his sea-bordered field, Joan Allen (Elizabeth) lying pregnant in the frigid jail, Winona Ryder (Abigail) stealing her minister-uncle’s money, majestic Paul Scofield (Judge Danforth) and his righteous empathy with the Devil-possessed children, and all of them looking as inevitable as rain. In a way, there is a biting irony in this film’s having been made by a Hollywood studio, something unimaginable in the fifties. As those powerful actors blossomed on the screen, and the children and the horses, the crowds and the wagons, I thought again about how I came to cook all this up nearly fifty years ago, in an America almost nobody I know seems to remember clearly. As I watched “The Crucible” taking shape as a movie over much of the past year, the sheer depth of time that it represents for me kept returning to mind. ![]() 6/6/2023 0 Comments The stone angel book review![]() “Yet when he turned his hairy belly and his black-haired thighs toward me in the night, I would lie silent but waiting, and he could slither and swim like an eel in a pool of darkness. The only thing you never feel with Hagar Shipley is joy. She is, in the pages of Margaret Laurence’s 1964 masterpiece, so fully real that you feel her pain when she grieves her dead son, her sadness when she remembers her hate-filled marriage, and her fear as her world shrinks and the end nears. ![]() You see the book, beaten up from your hours of reading, and you realize that Hagar Shipley, the nonagenarian protagonist, is one of the few great and fully realized characters of Canadian literature, alongside Duddy Kravitz and…well, that’s it. ![]() It’s the day after you finish it, when you’re tying your shoes and see it on the coffee table, that you realize The Stone Angel has done something to you, that it’s now a part of your life.

In September, 2006, it was announced that McFarlane will be the Art Director of the newly formed 38 Studios, formerly Green Monster Games, founded by Curt Schilling.

Spawn was one of America's most popular heroes in the 1990's and encouraged a trend in creator-owned comic book properties. In 1992, he helped form Image Comics, pulling the occult anti-hero character Spawn from his high school portfolio and updating him for the 1990s. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, McFarlane became a comic book superstar due to his work on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man franchise. Todd McFarlane is a Canadian comic book artist, writer, toy manufacturer/designer, and media entrepreneur who is best known as the creator of the epic occult fantasy series Spawn. ![]() |
