Northern Ontario legend Joe "Wolf Man" LaFlamme captivated a nation with his wild and eccentric lifestyle taming wolves. Nothing stopped this burly bushman and his outlandish ideas. He was a celebrity adored by the media, both in Canada and the United States, particularly when his moose accompanied him to ABC Radio's studio in Manhattan. A man driven by passion and ingenuity, he tempted fate by trying to tame wild animals, a feat he even realized was impossible. LaFlamme's biographer, Suzanne F. Charron, has done extensive research to bring his story to life and establish the Wolf Man in the canon of Canadian legends. In this second edition, Suzanne has provided newly uncovered details about his life and provides a better understanding of the relationship between man and wolf. She shares a selection of 47 rare photos that capture this larger-than-life character. Discover the man behind the legend and learn about the remarkable life Joseph LaFlamme led, challenging the conventions of his time and establishing himself as a true Canadian adventurer.

Hollywood Highbrow
Author: Shyon BaumannPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691187282
Category : Performing Arts

Pages : 242
Book Description
Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.

The Wintermen is a near-future western, with snow machines riding into town and a showdown in the snow. Johnny Slaught and his Algonquin buddy Chumboy Commando didn't set out to lead one of the most notorious bands of rebels in recent history. But after the world descended into climate change chaos, the government did some serious triage, forcing wide-scale evacuations and abandoning rural areas to the non-stop snow. Soon enough, Slaught is forced by circumstance to stand up the the muscle of TALOS Security Corporation, setting in motion a rebellion of average folks fighting to rebuild their lives in the abandoned snowscape of the northland. Can a mixture of scrap snow-machines, gasoline and the military wisdom of subcommander Marcos be enough to let them rebuild their lives?
