Nothing puts a smile on a shark’s face like Shark Week. Getting your leg bitten off is trendier than getting a tattoo, nowadays. It makes a great story to tell and you can even make a movie about it. When they are not exploring space, growing five additional heads, or traveling by means of tornadoes, sharks are busy getting turned into robots, lava, sand, ice, or ghosts. Sharks are our friends, except when they’re hungry, which they usually are. If you show signs of weakness or hostility, you will be attacked. If you bleed, you will be attacked. Shark Week is the time of the year when you do not want to be swimming with sharks. In this second edition of Shark Week, I review 78 shark movies and rank them from pathetic to great. Watch them in order; they will only get better!

Cult Film as a Guide to Life investigates the world and experience of cult films, from well-loved classics to the worst movies ever made. Including comprehensive studies of cult phenomena such as trash films, exploitation versions, cult adaptations, and case studies of movies as different as Showgirls, Room 237 and The Lord of the G-Strings, this lively, provocative and original book shows why cult films may just be the perfect guide to making sense of the contemporary world. Using his expertise in two fields, I.Q. Hunter also explores the important overlap between cult film and adaptation studies. He argues that adaptation studies could learn a great deal from cult and fan studies about the importance of audiences' emotional investment not only in texts but also in the relationships between them, and how such bonds of caring are structured over time. The book's emergent theme is cult film as lived experience. With reference mostly to American cinema, Hunter explores how cultists, with their powerful emotional investment in films, care for them over time and across numerous intertexts in relationships of memory, nostalgia and anticipation.

Just when the inhabitants of Little Snoring think they've seen the last of Gruesome and Grisly McNasty, the pirate twins unexpectedly --- and very disgustingly --- find themselves on the deck of The Good Hope. The nasty pair quickly casts out the ship's crew, commandeers the vessel and sets sail once again to Little Snoring, in search of Captain Syd's lost treasure. It's up to two local kids, Tat and Hetty, to devise a clever trap to lure the witless duo to their capture. But when things go awry, Tat and Hetty become the captives instead. Are the friends doomed to a dastardly death at sea? Perfect for beginning readers who love an outrageous and fast-moving story, the Ghastly McNasty series offers a lively blend of clever illustrations, slapstick comedy and toilet humor. With playful asides, odd characters and, of course, nasty pirates, this last book is a goofy, over-the-top and irresistibly fun end to the series.
