Care Bears Nutcracker Suite

The author shares their fondness for the 1988 "Care Bears Nutcracker Suite" movie adapted from Tchaikovsky's ballet. The author praises the voice acting, animation quality, and unique storytelling woven with engaging characters and delightful humor.

Now I may be out on a limb here, but I loved the Care Bears when I was a kid. It was probably my first favorite show. If you’re a Care Bears fan, then you know that in 1988 a made for the TV movie, adapted from the 1982 Tchaikovsky ballet, “Care Bears Nutcracker Suite” was released. Most people I know have never heard of it, though I was so obsessed with it, I watched it year-round, never…

Here's some of the people I met at San Jose Galaxy Con 2024 this year!

-Monty Python member John Cleese. He gave me his autograph and his finger in my ear. While he autographed my copy of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," I told him I liked Terry Gilliam's animations and I'm an artist myself. He looked at Domino on my GuineaPigDan shirt and said he liked guinea pigs. :) He also had an interesting Q&A panel that I attended.

-Michael Dorn, the actor for Worf on Star Trek TNG. I told him TNG was the first Star Trek show I saw as a kid, thanks to my parents.

-Weird Al Yankovic. I told him the first music video of his I saw was the Weasel Stomping Day video!

-Captain Kirk aka William Shatner. Like Cleese, he also did a Q&A panel that was interesting to listen to, telling stories like how he helped Patrick Stewart put on pantyhose to protect his legs for the horse riding scene in Star Trek Generations, and how one of his most intimate moments with Leonard Nimoy was bonding with him after the both of them went through nasty divorces at the same time. Very odd stories! Unlike Cleese, Shatner did not get up-close and personal with me and had a little deflector shield between him and guests.

-John Beatty, Marvel artist for the original 1984 Secret Wars comic. The writer for Secret Wars, Jim Shooter, was supposed to be at the con but canceled. I was very lucky to find that Beatty attended though, and I got a poster autographed by him!

'Homicide: Life on the Street' – TV's greatest network cop drama on Peacock

There is no shortage of cop dramas and police procedurals in the annals of American TV but when it comes down to it, there is no network show as rich, as complex, as engaging as Homicide: Life on the Street (1993-1999). Created by Paul Attanasio, based on the nonfiction book “Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets” by Baltimore Sun crime reporter David Simon (who was brought on as a consultant…

September 2021. Stylish Claudia Caranfa cover for the third Hard Case Crime volume compiling the MS. TREE comic series by Max Allan Collins and Terry Beatty. Drawing on Collins' love of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer, Ms. Michael Tree (née Friday) is a private investigator and the widow of another private eye who was murdered on their wedding day. Like Hammer, Ms. Tree is tough as nails, and a singularly ruthless heroine.

THE COLD DISH actually presents the character's earliest appearances, beginning with her debut in ECLIPSE MAGAZINE in 1981, followed by the early issues of the MS. TREE ongoing series from 1983–1989. The first two volumes of this series made the curious choice to lead with the character's last comic book appearances to date, the MS. TREE QUARTERLY series originally published by DC in the early 1990s. Collins explains the rationale for this in his introduction to the first volume, but it's still a little jarring in terms of the series' internal chronology. It appears the plan from here on out is to reprint the rest of the '80s series in chronological order; a fourth volume appeared in 2022 and a fifth came out in October 2023.

Ryan Beatty graced Brooklyn Steel with an enchanting performance on February 24, 2024, as part of his Calico Tour. The night unfolded into a mesmerizing experience, showcasing Beatty's exceptional vocal talent and a live band that brought his ethereal sound to life.

The atmosphere at Brooklyn Steel was charged with anticipation as Beatty took the stage, accompanied by his extraordinary live band, no opener needed. From the first notes of "Ribbons," it became evident that the audience was in for a treat. Beatty, with his eyes closed and headphones on, created an intimate space on stage where his soulful voice and emotive lyrics took center stage.

Throughout the performance, Beatty remained seated on the stage, immersed in his music, and sang into the microphone with a captivating vulnerability.

It was a unique and intimate experience that created a profound connection between the artist and his fans.

In a heartfelt moment, Beatty expressed his gratitude to the audience, conveying a desire for his family to witness the night. This genuine sentiment added an extra layer of intimacy to the performance.

The setlist was a carefully curated selection of tracks from Beatty's discography, each delivered with a passion and authenticity that transcended the recorded versions. Standouts included the soulful "Andromeda," and the dreamy "Bruises off the Peach" and "White Teeth." The live renditions of these songs showcased Beatty's vocal prowess and the seamless synergy with his talented band.

As the night unfolded, the enchanting atmosphere reached its peak during the encore, featuring the hauntingly beautiful "Little Faith." His closing performance left the audience in awe, solidifying the magic of the Calico Tour.
