John Gilmore is an acclaimed chronicler of darkest America, with gripping examinations of near-mythic Southern California murders (the Black Dahlia, Tate-LaBianca). Here he presents a caustic examination of our obsession with celebrity, recounting his relationships with the likes of Janis Joplin, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, Jane Fonda, and Lenny Bruce, both on the way up and at the peaks of their notoriety. As a method acting buddy of James Dean, Gilmore reveals his role in Dean`s attempts to push the bounds of sexual experimentation and in his legendary fascination with speed, violence, and death. Laid Bare is strikingly illustrated with many heretofore-unseen photos from John Gilmore`s personal collection.
Fahrenheit 451
In this classic of dystopian science fiction, censorship is so prevalent that firemen are entrusted with the task of burning books to keep the citizenry away from anything that might cause dissent. Suicides are commonplace, and people drug themselves with pills, thrills, and the meaningless programming that pours from four-wall television. Guy Montag is a fireman; he loves the act of burning, but he`s never actually stopped to consider what it is he`s burning. Nor has he ever stopped to consider whether his life contains any meaning, or happiness. Then he meets a strange girl named Clarisse, who encourages him to question everything. Inspired by Clarisse, Montag does two radical, forbidden things: he begins to read, and he begins to think. One of Bradbury`s definitive works, FAHRENHEIT 451 is an amazingly prescient book, anticipating not only social but technological trends. Bradbury described a world where people would be surrounded--bombarded, in fact--by their televisions and personal...

Out of the Mouths of Slaves
When the Oakland, California, school board called African American English Ebonics and claimed that it is not a black dialect or any dialect of English, they reignited a debate over language, race, and culture that reaches back to the era of slavery in the United States. In this book, John Baugh, an authority on African American English, sets new parameters for the debate by dissecting and challenging many of the prevailing myths about African American language and its place in American society.
Baugh`s inquiry ranges from the origins of African American English among slaves and their descendants to its recent adoption by standard English speakers of various races. Some of the topics he considers include practices and malpractices for educating language minority students, linguistic discrimination in the administration of justice, cross-cultural communication between Blacks and whites, and specific linguistic aspects of African American English. This detailed overview of the main...

Gone In 60 Seconds / The Junkman Twin Pack (DVD)
Two classic action car films from director H.B. Halicki, including the influential original version of GONE IN 60 SECONDS.
GONE IN 60 SECONDS: The basis for the 2000 film starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie, 1974's GONE IN 60 SECONDS is a revered cult classic, mostly because of the delirious 40 minute car chase that concludes the film. Directed by its star, writer, producer, and stunt driver H.B. Halicki, GONE IN 60 SECONDS was a drive-in phenomenon when it was originally released. In it, Maindrian Pace and a group of his colleagues race to steal 48 specific makes and models of cars in a week, which will net them $250,000 if they succeed. However, the group runs into trouble trying to jack a 1973 Mach 1 Mustang, and Pace ends up being chased through seven counties by throngs of police in what is probably the most exciting and ambitious car chase ever filmed.

Fruit of the Vine (DVD)
A Super-8 documentary shot by Coan Nichols and Rick Charnosky, FRUIT OF THE VINE chronicles the directors' travels from California to Washington searching for empty, or near-empty, pools to skate. More of an episodic collection of stories, the film follows Nichols and Charnosky as they meet and profile skaters who find, break into, and skate the abandoned or neglected pools of the suburban west coast. Featuring well-known skaters such as Tony Alva, Lance Mountain, Tony Farmer, Salba, and others, FRUIT OF THE VINE is an entertaining chronicle of one of skating's proudest and potentially dangerous traditions.
