For example: A girl's hair rebels against being cut off and runs off with her head Girls deliberately catch a disease that makes them beautiful but then murder each other a woman treats her skin with lotion so she can take it off and look at her muscles, but the skin dissolves and she tries to steal her sister's skin, etc. The most common obsessions are with beauty, long hair, and beautiful girls, especially in his Tomie and Flesh-Colored Horror comic collections. Nevertheless, upon graduation he trained as a dental technician, and until the early 1990s he juggled his dental career with his increasingly successful hobby - even after being selected as the winner of the prestigious Umezu prize for horror manga. Born in Gifu Prefecture in 1963, he was inspired from a young age by his older sister's drawing and Kazuo Umezu's comics and thus took an interest in drawing horror comics himself. Lord Justin Comfrey, Viscount of Comfrey, would be more than happy to help Striker with his financial troubles, and not just to ensure that Miss Vasilver's dowry doesn't tempt Striker into marriage. Besides, he has his own problems - most of them people who need his help as a mind-healer. No matter how much his parents might want the match, or his house might need her dowry. But not now, and never to a rich icicle of a woman like Miss Vasilver. That someone might care for her not in spite of but because of them was nothing short of miraculous. Nikola Striker, Lord of Fireholt, expects he'll wed. Rowyn, A Rational Arrangement 1 likes Like It had never occurred to her to look on her handicaps as anything but obstacles to be overcome. But though she lives in Paradise, arranging a match is full of traps and pitfalls for the unwary. If one cannot discuss them, what's the use in meeting at all? It's like trying to decide what you'll have for dinner without mentioning food.” ““But these are vital aspects of marriage. Everyone knows the chariot race sequence, of course, though I’d guess rather fewer people have actually seen it in context. Shorn of event status, is Ben-Hur a classic, or is it simply a title people know, a signifier of a particular brand of epic cinema? One has to wonder how often the saga of Judah Ben-Hur – from Jewish prince to condemned slave to anguished witness to Christ’s crucifixion – is actually watched today, in all its sprawling, lumbering glory. They just weren’t events, the kind of films promoted as experiences above all – something that almost any blockbuster only gets to be once, for a year at most, in its long, brawny life. Those, of course, were better films then and better films now, even if they raked in a fraction of Ben-Hur’s supersized total. Yet there was an oddly, inadvertently back-handed undertone to that grandstanding: Ben-Hur may have been the entertainment experience of one lifetime, yes, but has it endured through subsequent ones? The biblical spectacular celebrates its 60th anniversary this month, yet it doesn’t feel as broadly celebrated today as other films marking the same milestone: Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot, for example, or Alfred Hitchcock’s North By Northwest, or Francois Truffaut’s The 400 Blows. |
