Ever check out Matt Howarth comics??!!

Howdy! Sorry for the long reply--I never noticed this was out there. I read Savage Henry decades ago, but frankly forgot it existed. Thanks for the reminder!

HOCKEY NEWS AND NOTES

By: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - There is plenty of hockey news and notes throughout the sport as teams at all levels are preparing for the 2023-24 season despite the continuing saga of the Stanley Cup Championship currently underway that sees the Las Vegas Golden Knights leading the Florida Panthers 3-games-to-1. The New York Rangers rewarded winger Anton Blidh for his strong play in Hartford with a two-year contract extension. Blidh was acquired from the Colorado Avalanche for Gustav Rydahl, who is heading back to Sweden. Blidh will make $775K for playing in the NHL and $350K for his play in the AHL. Cooper Zech was also acquired at the trade deadline by the Wolf Pack. He never played in Hartford but was sent to play for the team's ECHL affiliate, the JacksonvilleIcemen, instead. But rather than report to Hart City at the beginning of the playoffs, Zech instead went home and signed with HC Kosice (Slovakia-SLEL) for next year. EX-PACK AND UCONN PLAYER MOVEMENT A pair of ex-Pack players, Sean Day, is signed again with a one-year extension with the Tampa Bay Lightning / Syracuse Crunch on a two-way deal for $775K-NHK/$200K-AHL and Mike O’Leary signs with the Iowa Wild (AHL). Former UCONN forward Kale Howarth re-signs with the Rockford IceHogs. Ex-Pack and ex-UCONN goalie Adam Huska re-signs with Torpedo Novgorod (Russia-KHL). Allan McPherson with Hannover (German DEL-2). Ex-UCONN forward Carter Turnbull has signed with HC Banska Bystrica (Slovakia-SLEL). He leaves HKM Zvolen (Slovakia). HARTFORD WHALER WEEKEND Whalers Weekend with the Eastern League Hartford Yard Goats (Colorado Rockies) is July 21-22. These are the committed players who will be in attendance as of now; Norm Barnes, Wayne Babych, Bill Bennett, Mark Bousquet (Poodle from Slap Shot), Pat Boutette, Jeff Brubaker, Bob Crawford, Yvon Corriveau, Scott Daniels, Mark Janssens, Marty Howe, Grant Jennings, Chuck Kaiton (Radio PBP), Andre Lacroix, Gerry McDonald, Don Nachbaur, Doug & Gordie Roberts, and Mike Rogers. Several others are possible but have yet to be finalized. Three newcomers exist in Boutette and the Roberts brothers. Rogers, after a year off, returns from Calgary. The rest have been attendees since this started five years ago. FLORIDA EVERBLADES GO BACK-TO-BACK IN ECHL The Floria Everblades won the ECHL Kelly Cup title in a sweep over the Idaho Steelheads. It is their sixth time in the finals and second consecutive championship for Florida. They join five other teams to win back-to-back titles. Two ex-Packs were rostered on the runner-up Idaho. They are Ryan Dmowski (Old Lyme/Frederick Gunn School) and Matt Register. GREG CRONIN AND EX-SOUND TIGERS After three years with the Colorado Eagles (AHL), former Sound Tigers head coach Greg Cronin was hired by the  Anaheim Ducks as the team's new head coach. When Cronin was named the Head Coach in Bridgeport, he announced he had been the only surfer in Maine for the Black Bears while an assistant there. Once, he was forced to apologize after excoriating Maine (HE) fans in an expletive-ridden rant for not showing up for a road game during a Maine Blizzard. Ex-Sound Tigers Greg Mauldin re-signs with Stavanger (Norway-NEL), while goalie Eamon MacAdam re-signs with Guilford (England-EIHL). Lane Sim, the son of ex-Bridgeport Sound Tiger Jon Sim, signs with the Sarnia Sting (OHL), who drafted him. DAN RUSANOWSKY Congratulations to the only radio voice of the San Jose Sharks (NHL) since its inception in 1991. Dan Rusanowsky (Milford) received the Foster Hewitt Award and the notice he will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto on November 13th. Rusanowsky was the last voice of the Nighthawks (1987-1991) and becomes the second Nighthawks broadcaster that will be inducted into the HHOF on Yonge Street in Toronto. Fellow Californian Nick Nickson (1977-1981) preceded Rusanowsky calling the Nighthawks team as the radio voice of the Los Angeles Kings and was selected and entered in 2014. Rusanowsky was the voice of college hockey for St. Lawrence University (1979-1987). Nickson was just announced as the sole play-by-play voice for the simulcast on TV and radio of the Kings starting next season. Long-time radio color commentator and former New Haven Nighthawk player Daryl Evans has been reassigned to a yet-to-be-specified on-air role. ODDS AND ENDS Ronan Buckberger, the son of former Beast of New Haven forward Ashley Buckberger, heads from Saskatoon (SMAAAHL) to Nipawin (SJHL). Craig Puffer (New Canaan), departs Nottingham (England-EIHL) and signs with HC Anglet (France-FREL) in the Elite Magnus League. Charles Greszes, formerly of Choate Rosemary School in Wallingford-is traded from Tel Aviv (Israel-IHL) to HC Bat Yam (Israel-IHL). Former Hartford Whaler Jim Culhane, the video coach for Denver University (NCHC), was named video coach for the US 2024 WJC team in December. The 30th AHL player to head to Europe is Anthony Hora, from Division III SUNY-Brockport (SUNYAC). He heads to Évry/Viry Hockey 91 (France- FFHG Division-2). Three more also signed Europe, moving the total to 33. QUEBEC REMPARTS The Quebec Remparts (QMJHL) won the Memorial Cup. They did so in a 5-0 shutout win over the Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL) for their fifth Memorial Cup title in the franchise’s eighth appearance. Undrafted Kassim Gaudet registered a goal and an assist and was a plus-four with five shots on goal. That is a solid performance for a young man with only 11 career QMJHL goals. Théo Rochette had two assists, while undrafted goalie William Rousseau, the grandson of Rangers and Montreal Canadiens great Bobby Rousseau, had 32 saves and won a Memorial Cup 65 years after his grandfather won his under the guidance of a young Scotty Bowman. His late great-uncle Rollie also won a Memorial Cup in the late 1940s. The elder Rousseau is, sadly, in the early stages of battling Alzheimer’s. MORE ON THE ROUSSEAU FAMILY How was the younger Rousseau rewarded? He was traded to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies for a possible over-age year if he doesn’t land a pro deal for the next season two days later. HARTFORD WOLF PACK HOME Read the full article

B-5 : Oscars 2023 Predictions - A Film fan's perspective (Part - 3)

We are just a week away from the 95th Academy Awards, a.k.a. The Oscars®. It will happen on March 13 at 5:30 PM IST. The celebrations of the Oscar season are at their peak. Amid the fun and excitement, here's a look at the final segment of the technical award categories and our predictions of the winners:-

Best Sound

Nominees: 

All Quiet on the Western Front – Viktor Prášil, Frank Kruse, Markus Stemler, Lars Ginzel, and Stefan Korte

Avatar: The Way of Water – Julian Howarth, Gwendolyn Yates Whittle, Dick Bernstein, Christopher Boyes, Gary Summers, and Michael Hedges

The Batman – Stuart Wilson, William Files, Douglas Murray, and Andy Nelson

Elvis – David Lee, Wayne Pashley, Andy Nelson, and Michael Keller

Top Gun: Maverick – Mark Weingarten, James H. Mather, Al Nelson, Chris Burdon, and Mark Taylor

Prediction(s): All Quiet on the Western Front/Top Gun: Maverick

It's usually a war/military movie or a musical that wins the Sound award. Topgun: Maverick seems to be a strong competitor because of the Action-filled dogfighting scenes and final combat in the climax. Western Front is also a strong contender because of the battle scenes. 

Best Production Design

Nominees: 

All Quiet on the Western Front – Production Design: Christian M. Goldbeck; Set Decoration: Ernestine Hipper

Avatar: The Way of Water – Production Design: Dylan Cole and Ben Procter; Set Decoration: Vanessa Cole

Babylon – Production Design: Florencia Martin; Set Decoration: Anthony Carlino

Elvis – Production Design: Catherine Martin and Karen Murphy; Set Decoration: Bev Dunn

The Fabelmans – Production Design: Rick Carter; Set Decoration: Karen O'Hara

Prediction: Elvis

From the 1950s to the 1970s, the sets well-exhibit the story of the King of Rock n Roll - from his home to the carnivals to the stadiums to the TV and recording studios to the lavishing hotels of Las Vegas.

Best Cinematography

Nominees: 

All Quiet on the Western Front – James Friend

Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths – Darius Khondji

Elvis – Mandy Walker

Empire of Light – Roger Deakins

Tár – Florian Hoffmeister

Prediction: All Quiet on The Western Front

It's because the camera work of James Friend captures the horrors of the First World War. The fighting in broad daylight is realistic and gives chills every time you see it.

Best Makeup & Hairstyling

Nominees:

All Quiet on the Western Front – Heike Merker and Linda Eisenhamerová

The Batman – Naomi Donne, Mike Marino, and Mike Fontaine

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Camille Friend and Joel Harlow

Elvis – Mark Coulier, Jason Baird, and Aldo Signoretti

The Whale – Adrien Morot, Judy Chin, and Anne Marie Bradley

Prediction: Elvis

Is it possible to make a movie on Elvis Presley without his puffed hair and sideburns? Hairstyles play a crucial role in his era of the 1950s-70s.

Best Costume Designing

Nominees:

Babylon – Mary Zophres

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Ruth E. Carter

Elvis – Catherine Martin

Everything Everywhere All at Once – Shirley Kurata

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris – Jenny Beavan

Prediction: Elvis

The film is all about colors, nostalgia, and costumes of the Presley years.

Best Film Editing

Nominees:

The Banshees of Inisherin – Mikkel E. G. Nielsen

Elvis – Matt Villa and Jonathan Redmond

Everything Everywhere All at Once – Paul Rogers

Tár – Monika Willi

Top Gun: Maverick – Eddie Hamilton

Prediction: Top Gun: Maverick

The editing of the sortie scenes and the final aerial battle is what makes the Top Gun sequel the ultimate winner of the editing award.

Best Visual Effects

Nominees: 

All Quiet on the Western Front – Frank Petzold, Viktor Müller, Markus Frank, and Kamil Jafar

Avatar: The Way of Water – Joe Letteri, Richard Baneham, Eric Saindon, and Daniel Barrett

The Batman – Dan Lemmon, Russell Earl, Anders Langlands, and Dominic Tuohy

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Geoffrey Baumann, Craig Hammack, R. Christopher White, and Dan Sudick

Top Gun: Maverick – Ryan Tudhope, Seth Hill, Bryan Litson, and Scott R. Fisher

Prediction: Avatar: The Way of Water

Cameron's film can become the first sequel to win the same award in this category. The beautiful visuals of the world of Pandora would surely take the trophy home.

One eye snake escape from new york

#One eye snake escape from new york 1080p

That story (by Carpenter and friend Nick Castle, who played Michael Myers in the original Halloween), in spite of the fact that it takes place in “the future” world of 1997, is still enjoyable today. The man has always known that the best special effects are invisible and never detract from the story. The genius of John Carpenter includes his subtlety in composition. The miniature of Manhattan is strikingly convincing in that less than a week of filming actually took place in New York, this miniature was used much more often than one might think. A helicopter passing over New York harbor proves to be an animation in front of a miniature. A desolate Manhattan skyline looming over a thick, dark prison wall is proven to be an incredibly realistic matte painting - by none other than a pre- Terminator James Cameron - resting atop a dam near Los Angeles. However, other effects actually required Carpenter’s commentary and the new documentary to even suggest that they were effects at all. True, 1981 was a long time ago, and the occasional trick and trap appears dated and commonplace. Most welcome of all, however, is the new documentary called “Big Challenges in Little Manhattan: The Visual Effects of Escape From New York”, which reveals what “special effects” were at the time, and just how the filmmakers achieved such things in a pre-CGI era. New bonus features include new interviews with actors, photographer Kim Gottlieb-Walker and co-composer Alan Howarth. The second disc is absolutely packed with extras, including both a behind-the-scenes still gallery and a promotional materials still gallery (both of which, sadly, are now rarities on new releases), theatrical trailers, the famed deleted opening scene, and a documentary about the film. The existing commentaries by director John Carpenter and star Kurt Russell, as well as producer Debra Hill and production designer Joe Alves, are both present and supplemented with a new commentary by actress Adrienne Barbeau and director of photography Dean Cundey.

#One eye snake escape from new york 1080p

The two-disc “Collector’s Edition” truly lives up to its name with brand new high definition scans of the inter-positive, struck from the original negative for a beautiful 1080p experience. Scream! Factory’s 2015 Blu-ray release of Escape From New York is just that “deluxe package” for which fans of the film have been clamoring. Then again, it probably takes a deluxe DVD or Blu-ray package not only to appreciate some of these effects, but also to even realize that many of these are, in fact, special effects at all. Sure, the effects worked for the film on that medium, but they failed to really inspire the awe that they must have in the theater. Like many, I first saw the classic 1981 John Carpenter action film on a cathode ray tube fed by either a cable broadcast or a VHS tape. The most striking thing about watching Escape From New York on Blu-ray is how amazingly the film’s special effects stand up to the test of time, even (and especially) under the unforgiving scrutiny of high definition.

Turtle Dreams

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #41 NOVEMBER 1991 BY MATT HOWARTH

SYNOPSIS (FROM TURTLEPEDIA)

The issue opens with Leonardo dreaming of being a teenager in a high school populated by other mutant turtles. Leo is a popular athletic kid, but he's not doing so well in class because he finds math boring. As Leo drifts off into a daydream about surfing, the teacher rudely interrupts his fantasy and demands to know the answer to a difficult problem on the blackboard. Leonardo decides that he doesn't have to put up with this sort of thing, as it's his dream and he can do what he wants.

The teacher then morphs into a gigantic lobster-like monster and attacks Leo. After a short skirmish, Leonardo vanquishes his foe and returns to his seat, happy and consoled that the substitute teacher will be much easier to deal with... but as it turns out, the substitute is a Tyrannosaurus.

Raph has fallen asleep reading "Those Annoying Post Brothers" comic books (the series that guest artist Matt Howarth was doing at the time that this issue was published). Raphael's dream takes him to a world populated by dozens of various alien life forms. Raph quickly spots the annoying Post Brothers and is star struck, as they're his favorite villains. Raph then tells the infamous duo that he plans to punish them for all of their misdeeds and a fight breaks out... and continues... and goes on... and on... and on...

On the last panel we see a smiling Raphael, content in his battle frenzied dream.

Donatello is sleeping on the couch after eating an entire bag of chocolate-chip cheese cookies. In Don's nightmare, the Feds have captured the TMNT and subjected them to all kinds of nefarious tests and tortures. As the Turtles endure their treatment, the top secret government file regarding them is stolen and sold to a Hollywood producer, who decides to exploit the TMNT for his own commercial gain via a cartoon and toys.

The cartoon and toys became a huge hit, but the Turtles, still captives of the government, knew nothing of the events. Eventually the Green Team is set free when the branch investigating them is shut down due to lack of funding. Thus the guys are able to return to their lair and fight crime like they once did. However, now that the success of the cartoon and toys has made them celebrities, they're constantly surrounded by adoring fans and can no longer battle evil. Don seeks Splinter's advice, but the sage old rat has no answers... thus the TMNT become prisoners of their own fame and lay around watching TV all day, getting lazy and fat.

Donatello wakes up screaming, "Teenage Couch Potato Turtles! What a scary dream!"

Master Splinter is meditating and allows himself to dream of visiting an expensive restaurant. The Sensei is sharing a table with celebrities Akira Kagemusha, Albert Einstein and Alfred Hitchcock, discussing existential philosophy.

Mike has fallen asleep listening to his Walkman and dreams of being a Rock 'n' Roll star. During his concert, he is attacked by Dr. Vox and his cronies, who hate Rock music and want to see it abolished. Mikey battles them to no avail, but he's saved when his fans race to the voting booths to silence the protests of the censorship minded Dr. Vox.

REVIEW

The one thing this story got right, was the teenage nature of the turtles. All their dreams make sense for their personality, although some of them make more sense than others.

I feel like Leo and Raph have the most accurate dreams for their personalities. Mike’s dream, is right by the process of elimination (Raph is a loner and wouldn’t have a rock band, unless you’ve seen the Turtles “coming out of their shells” like me).

Still, I think the topics are ok for these characters, and as usual, the guest artist gets to promote his own material (Those Annoying Post Bros).

I give the issue a score of 7.

Albedo #13 (June 1988) cover by Matt Howarth.

[eclecticpjf]

Just received my latest shipment from Herring & Robinson Bookbinders ( http://www.herringandrobinsonbookbinders.com ).

So happy to have a way to get books some of my favorite comics when the publishers/creators don’t find it worthwhile to collect. I know DC has announced a Wasteland collection several times in the past, but has never actually been published. Matt Howarth has moved to digital format for just about all his new works ( http://matthowarth.com ). I believe the binders could have done one volume for the Savage Henry run, but that would have made the book too thick for my liking. And I think Roger Stern doesn’t get the respect he deserves.

I’ve already sent my next order to the binders: Comics’s “Jonny Quest” run.
