Her second play to be produced on Broadway, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, was in its early run, to mixed reviews, when Hansberry died the curtain came down on that date. As if prescient, in the six years she had between the triumph of her first play and her death, she was extraordinarily prolific. ![]() In 1965, Lorraine Hansberry died of cancer at age 34. In 1961, the film version won a special award at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for a Screen Writer’s Guild Award for Hansberry’s screenplay. In its authentic depiction of Black American life, and the vivid demonstration of so gifted a creator, cast and director, it made it impossible for the American stage to ignore African American creativity and subject matter thereafter. When Lorraine Hansberry’s (1930-1965) A Raisin in the Sun appeared on Broadway in 1959, the artist became, at 29, the youngest American playwright, the fifth woman, and the only African American to date to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play of the Year.

They were about the kinship between fellow mutants when so many were no longer mutants. Storylines for nearly a decade until Jonathan Hickman’s Dawn of X, were about mutants searching for hope and answers when there were none. That’s how it felt in the storylines that followed House of M, at least the ones that were well-thought out.īut the true insulting nature of this idea and story never quite hit me before reading this book. What if people who were gay were made straight with three words, or black people made white, or women made into men. ![]() It had ended with nearly all mutants on Earth becoming human, in what I could only assume was a symbolic allegory for what if minorities were stripped of what made them minorities. Before that I only read the big Marvel Event here and there.Įven then, House of M was a storyline that the X-Men and mutants couldn’t escape. I even didn’t start reading Marvel comics until the All-New All-Different relaunch. I’ve always loved the X-Men but I didn’t start reading comics until DC’s New 52 reboot. House of M is a story that has defined the X-Men since before I started avidly reading comics. Spoilers for House of M, written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Olivier Coipel.

As the script has been passed off to Mortiz, there are likely some technicalities that would need to be worked out if that were to happen, but Howard is optimistic that the option is not completely out of the picture. Because of that, Howard believes that the script could see life under a new title with a few tweaks to the story. Howard confirmed that he and Flanagan took a drastically different approach to telling their version of the classic 1990s horror movie. ![]() ![]() However, fans shouldn't completely give up hope on this project. Howard's conversation with Bloody Disgusting took place in January 2021, and there still has not been a concrete update on I Know What You Did Last Summer's production.

Inhabitants can acces bedrooms and living rooms via ladders, stairs or laddered shelves. Instead of building the house out, designers built the house up. ![]() This allows light to flow through the house, yet the inhabitants still have separate living spaces. Many of these built-ins also double as room dividers. Some home decor techniques used in these homes include built-in cabinets, shelves and storage. Since a small house design needs to maximize space, decorators and designers need consider space-saving options. Tiny houses embrace all the beautiful architectural integrity of full-sized homes yet most of these small structures waste less space and cost much less than a regular house. As our world becomes smaller and more expensive, many buyers are looking for opportunities to live more fulfilling lives with less waste.

The work ethics of the employees are no longer valued. However, they are also the cause of the article's title, "The Corrosion of Character".

Workers of today's generation can no longer expect long term work, or the trust and loyalty that were given to the employees of the older generation. In place of stable routine and predictable career paths, employees are now expected to be fluid in their jobs, and open to change on very short notice. The general essence of the article is that the old ways of work and the work ethic of the older generations have broken apart. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the existence I was destined for, and I will gladly defend this city against every threat to its people.

The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you, it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn.Įspecially if you’re a supervillain like me.
