NATURALISTIC! UNCANNY! MARVELOUS!: GOJIRA (1954), GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS! (1956)
http://nummtheory.blogspot.com/2013/11/gojira-1954-godzilla-king-of-monsters.html
A blog devoted to sorting out the phenomenology of film. Sunday, November 10, 2013. GOJIRA (1954), GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS! CAMPBELLIAN FUNCTIONS: *cosmological, sociological*. The sense that some of their countrymen had hideously perished, so that others could enjoy a return to prosperity and plenty? If so, the appearance of Godzilla might have carried the resonance of a doom that had merely been deferred for a while, a doom that was now catching up with them. The GODZILLA film in particular ...

NATURALISTIC! UNCANNY! MARVELOUS!: THE LONE RANGER (1956), THE GREEN HORNET (1940)
http://nummtheory.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-lone-ranger-1956-green-hornet-1940.html
A blog devoted to sorting out the phenomenology of film. Thursday, August 15, 2013. THE LONE RANGER (1956), THE GREEN HORNET (1940). Modern comics-mavens like to view Superman and Batman as diametrical opposites, with the former representing bright optimism and the latter dark pessimism. One could argue that they were preceded in this by two radio-heroes launched by radio producer George Trendle, with the Ranger debuting in 1933 and the Hornet in 1936, just two years before the publication of Superman.

NATURALISTIC! UNCANNY! MARVELOUS!: SATELLITE IN THE SKY (1956), THE DAY MARS INVADED EARTH (1963)
http://nummtheory.blogspot.com/2015/08/satellite-in-sky-1956-day-mars-invaded.html
A blog devoted to sorting out the phenomenology of film. Friday, August 7, 2015. SATELLITE IN THE SKY (1956), THE DAY MARS INVADED EARTH (1963). CAMPBELLIAN FUNCTIONS: *cosmological, sociological*. Together with the Ian Fleming novel MOONRAKER, SATELLITE IN THE SKY makes the case that some Brits in the 1950s really, really wished that Great Britain could've had a space program. The characters are simply stereotypes, though at least they have some modest variety, in contrast to this film from the same year.

NATURALISTIC! UNCANNY! MARVELOUS!: THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (1953)

A blog devoted to sorting out the phenomenology of film. Friday, November 15, 2013. THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (1953). CAMPBELLIAN FUNCTIONS: *cosmological, sociological*. This is such a strange feeling, I feel as though I'm leaving a world of untold tomorrows for a world of countless yesterdays."- Professor Elson, about to take a permanent vacation from both work and life. Given that I recently reviewed the two versions of GODZILLA. The world will probably never know (or care). CODE OF SILENCE (1985).

Orchards Forever: March 2012
http://orchardsforever.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Peg's Thoughts, Bursting with Green. Friday, March 16, 2012. Warm Spring, Endangered Orchards? It was a very mild winter in most of the Northeast United States, and the record warm temperatures of the past few weeks have a lot of plants behaving more like it's mid-April, not mid March. Daffodils are blooming, hyacinths and showing color in their buds, and fruit trees are already blossoming in some areas. Went two years with practically no fruit. It is a worrying trend.

Orchards Forever: Shortage of cider apples? Let's get on that...
http://orchardsforever.blogspot.com/2014/05/shortage-of-cider-apples-lets-get-on.html
Peg's Thoughts, Bursting with Green. Saturday, May 17, 2014. Shortage of cider apples? Let's get on that. The Wall Street Journal. Reports that craft cider makers are having trouble getting their hands on flavorful cider apples. I think this sounds like a great entrepreneurial enterprise for anyone with some suitable land who wants to plant some orchards.and the recent state tax incentives in New York make this even more attractive. Some languishing orchards might even be brought back. But the good news ...
