Growing generic levitra online overnight delivery up, did you ever sit in front of a TV, a 16mm school projector or a VCR and come under the hypnotic spell of the tuff, sassy, cool and inspiring kids that you saw on the screen? Perhaps you grinned as Jacob Two-Two stood up to The Hooded Fang, thrilled as Hawk Jones grabbed a small arsenal to take down some gangsters or cringed as a bespectacled Scott Baio got Stoned?
We certainly looked up to many of these pint-sized tots, tweens and teens, and chances are you did too. That’s why we’re devoting the first anthology in the new Spectacular Optical book series, KID POWER!, to this inspiring world of kid cult classics from North America, the UK, Australia and beyond. From the 1940s antics of Curley and his Gang to the overwrought denim-clad melodrama of The ABC Afterschool Special, from the surreal fantasies of The Peanut Butter Solution to the pre-teen bloodsucking dramedy of The Little Vampire, KID POWER! is a heavily-illustrated collection of film writing by a diverse array of some of genre criticism’s most unique voices.
We’ve just launched our 30-day fundraising campaign for Spectacular viagra no prescription Optical Book One: KID POWER! on Indiegogo – and you can make our book a reality by pre-ordering it!
My name is Kier-La Janisse, and I’m very excited to be taking on the role of co-editor and publisher for the Spectacular Optical series. I have been a film writer and programmer since 1997. I’ve had two books of my own published by FAB Press (HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN and A VIOLENT PROFESSIONAL: THE FILMS OF LUCIANO ROSSI), as well as many articles in magazines and journals ranging from FANGORIA to INCITE JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MEDIA, but KID POWER! will be the first book published under my own imprint, the micro-press Spectacular Optical. This inaugural anthology of kid-centric essays and interviews is co-edited with my friend and Managing Editor Paul Corupe, best known as the founder of both the Canadian cult film website Canuxploitation.com and Toronto’s Black Museum horror lecture series.
For KID POWER!, the first in our series of themed cult film writing anthologies, I’m honoured to have the participation of writers from across the globe including author/film producer Zack Carlson (DESTROY ALL MOVIES!! THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO PUNKS ON FILM and THE AMERICAN SCREAM), FANGORIA Magazine Editor-in-Chief Chris Alexander, underground comic legends Rick Trembles (MOTION PICTURE PURGATORY) and Robin Bougie (CINEMA SEWER), film scholar Alexandra Heller-Nicholas (RAPE REVENGE FILMS: A CRITICAL STUDY) performance artist/pop culture historian Robert Dayton (CANNED HAMM, THE CANADIAN ROMANTIC), film programmers Bret Berg (CineFamily), Jesse Hawthorne Ficks (MiDNiGHTS FOR MANiACS) and Briony Kidd (Stranger With My Face Horror Film Festival) and writers Owen Williams (EMPIRE) and Cheryl Singleton (FANGORIA) as well as myself and Paul http://www.spectacularoptical.ca/2021/02/cialis-fast-delivery-usa/ rounding out the bunch. It’s gonna be epic!
