The announcement of the eight new guests follows last month’s initial wave of Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things”), Christina Ricci (“The Addams Family,” “Wednesday”), Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Spider-Man), Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings, Rudy) and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future, “Taxi”), already committed to the event. Additional celebrities, voice actors, creators, cosplayers exhibitors and programming for this major comics, sci-fi, horror, literary, anime and gaming convention will be announced closer to the event.

From the Back to the Future franchise to TV hits like “Family Ties” and “Spin City,” Michael J. Fox has thrilled and moved millions with his performances as well as his work on behalf of Parkinson’s disease research. He won his first significant role as the lovable conservative Alex P. Keaton on NBC’s enormously popular “Family Ties” (1982-89).

Tom Wilson is a character actor, writer and comedian with more than 100 film and TV credits. Wilson burst into the BTTF movies as the now iconic bully “Biff,” his grandson “Griff,” and even his own great grandfather, gunslinger Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen, for which he won the Saturn Award for best supporting actor. He’s also known for iconic roles in “Freaks and Geeks,” "Wing Commander,” April Fool’s Day, “Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous” and “SpongeBob SquarePants.”

In addition to starring as “Wilson Fisk” opposite Charlie Cox in the Netflix series “Daredevil,” Vincent D’Onofrio has a resume of more than 100 roles, most popularly as the lead detective “Bobby Goren” in the long-running NBC drama “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.” His notable film credits include Full Metal Jacket, Dying Young, Men in Black, Mystic Pizza, Jurassic World and The Break Up.

Henry Winkler first captured the nation’s attention as the leather-jacket-wearing, motorcycle-riding “Arthur Fonzarelli,” a.k.a. the “Fonz” in the iconic series “Happy Days.” He has gone on to produce TV shows like “MacGyver,” direct several movies, act in plays and feature films, and write the popular Hank Zipzer children’s book series, with co-author Lin Oliver, about the adventures and misadventures of the ever resourceful, but struggling student named Hank.

Accomplished actor, director, voice over artist and occasional professor Peter Weller’s amazing career has taken him from the mean streets of old Detroit to the final frontier of space. He has appeared in more than 50 films and television series, notably in the title role in 1987’s RoboCop and its sequel RoboCop 2 and as the title character in the quirky 1984 sci-fi cult film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Katee Sackhoff is a favorite at FAN EXPO events for her portrayal of “Kara ‘Starbuck’ Thrace” on “Battlestar Galactica” as well as “Bo-Katan Kryze” on “The Mandalorian” and “Niko Breckenridge” on “Another Life” among more than 60 film and TV credits. Her extensive voice acting work includes “Robot Chicken” and “Star Wars: Rebels.”

Bonnie Wright first appeared as “Ginny Weasley” in a small part in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 2001 and has gone on to play the character in a much larger role in the franchise for the next decade.

The Library NaNoWriMo C1 11/11/22

Mason’s dad. The Hunt Woods murders. The Hag of Shoal Creek Manor? Really? I’ve read all those stories before; they weren’t what I was looking for. I needed something new. It’s been a while since I’d stumbled on something I hadn’t already read through. I flicked further back in time, the newspapers swapping out as the years counted back.

“Seen it, seen it, seen it.” I thought to myself.

After a few more minutes of doom scrolling I finally admitted defeat. I don’t really know if I should be proud or ashamed, but I’m convinced I’d finally read the entirety of the town’s archive, well everything that wasn’t painfully boring at least. Either way, I shouldn’t get bent out of shape about it, it was bound to happen eventually considering how long I’ve been coming here. I’m honestly surprised it hadn’t happened sooner.

I leaned back in my chair to take a break and give my eyes a rest. I’d been staring at the old dingy microfilm at the back of the library for a good two hours now, flipping through newspapers dating all the way back to a time when newspapers were still cutting edge. That’s how I spent most of my Sunday nights, most of my nights if I’m being painfully honest. I liked it. The library was like a musty second home to me. It was quiet, clean, and I knew most of the other regulars who would stop by. Just one quick glance around the room and I could spot a few regulars waiting out the clock until the place closed.

Mr. Rutherford sat in the same corner he always does, reading the same copy of war and peace he’s been trying to finish for weeks now. Mrs. Pickens was sat behind the counter grinding away at the next big Facebook game all the other grandma’s in town were hooked on. Even Buford and his mom were there. He couldn’t read yet but he liked to look at the covers.

As I looked around the room though, something out of the ordinary caught my eye. Something that I wasn’t used to seeing, not here. A flash of red just over top one of the bookshelves. A head of dyed ginger hair.

I felt a little rude staring, but I had no other choice, I needed to figure out who it was, because if it was who I thought it was, it meant I had to leave, fast. I watched as they picked out a book, giving me the tiniest glimpse of the person on the other side. It was her alright: Ginger Prescott.

I mentioned earlier that she was a little eccentric. Well, that didn’t go away, at least not at first. Ginger always loved making sure everyone was painfully aware that she was different. All throughout elementary school every few weeks she’d manage to dupe our class into thinking that she was the long lost heir to the coke empire, or princess diana’s next next next cousin. She’d change up the lie every so often once she got bored or when kids started getting too nosey, whichever came first. Once someone called her out on something she couldn’t prove, she’d move onto the next lie. The one thing she never let go of though, the one thing she insisted on everyone believing no matter what, was that she was psychic. I don’t know if she still does that. I doubt it. She was dragged through the ringer for it through middle school. It was so bad that she didn’t just drop her act, she flipped it on its head. She quickly learned that in highschool, she might not be able to convince people she could read minds, but she could sure as hell spread a rumor like wildfire. She could talk you inside and out, and have half the school talking about you too if you weren’t careful.

She was even the reason one of my old friends had to start homeschooling. Kate made the mistake of crossing her when she asked the boy Ginger was after out to prom. The day after the night in question, Ginger made sure the whole school knew Kate had blacked out, which was pretty taboo for freshmen, not so much anymore.

What I’m trying to say is, she scared me, which is why I panicked when she spotted me staring at her and sauntered her way down the aisle and towards my table.

“Hey. You’re Henry right? Henry Fitzgerald?”

I thought about lying, but I reminded myself that this town was way too small to pretend like I wasn’t who I was. Besides, her bullshit detector was top of the line. Even if I did have the guts to lie, she’d catch it.

“Yeah, that’s me.” I mumbled.

She shot me a smile. “Cool, I’m-”

“You’re Ginger,” I interrupted, “I know.”

I wasn’t trying to be rude, I was nervous. I hoped she realized that too. Either way, she was caught off guard.

“Oh, well do you mind if I sit down since we know each other?”

I glanced at the empty chair next to me and pulled my bag out of the seat. She sat down and dropped the book on the table. Moby Dick? I thought it was an odd choice. I always pinned her as the type to be into mystery novels or thrillers, not so much the classics.

I pointed at it and asked, “Do you like it so far?”

She glanced down at the book and said, “Oh, it’s not mine. I’m picking it up for a friend.”

“Well do they like it?”

She shrugged, “Probably. He’s rented it out more times than I can count. I keep telling him to just buy a copy but he refuses. He’s too stubborn to make the drive to the bookstore, but somehow he’s perfectly fine with driving here every few months to pick it back up.”

I tried to think of a way to draw the conversation out, but I fell short. Instead neither of us said anything for a moment. I knew what she was doing, she was letting me stew. She knew I wasn’t exactly exceptional at making small talk, but there was one thing she didn’t know.

We both might’ve changed a lot, but one thing stayed the same. I never bought into whatever she was trying to sell, be it her supposed extended royal family or her rumors. I never have, never will. I knew that whatever small talk she was trying to get through was only a front to something else. She wanted something from me, and that thought alone terrified me enough to keep my guard up.

“You hang out here a lot don’t you?” She said, taking another swing at the ice.

“Yep, I sure do.” I replied quickly.

She looked around, first at the books, then at the people, then back at me.

“Why?”

Ouch.

“I like it here. It’s nice.”

“Yeah, but what do you do here?”

I shrugged, “I don’t know, read?”

“Read what?”

“Books. Mostly old newspapers.”

She flared her eyes, “Exciting.”

Again, I could tell she was lying.

She let her eyes wander, this time keeping them close to the table.

“Is that what this machine is for? Looking at newspapers?”

“Yeah. It’s a microfilm.”

“Well, whatcha reading?”

I glanced down at the screen ‘couple killed in murder suicide’ not exactly the greatest thing to be caught in the middle of reading, “Nothing. Just some town history for a paper.”

She threw a thumb over her shoulder and asked, “Wouldn’t it be easier if you used one of those computers?”

The old computers she was referring to sat at the back of the room. There were three of them, and they were all built before the dawn of time. They were too slow to handle anything more than two tabs of firefox, she’d know that if she came here often, but she doesn’t so she didn’t.

“I’m old school. I like these better. I’ll zone out if I look at the computer. If I have to use the dials it forces me to stay focused. It’s kinda just my way of tricking my brain into paying attention.”

She looked me up and down, “That’s smart.”

She leaned in a little, “You’re pretty smart, aren't you?”

Did she really think I was that gullible? Flirting? Really? Should I be insulted? That was a low blow, even for her.

I leaned back, “Uh, yeah. I guess so.”

“Well,” She began, “Since you're so smart and you’re already working on a history paper, you wouldn’t mind helping me with a tiny history question would you?”

There it was. That’s what she was after. Now that I could see the light at the end of the tunnel I felt my shoulders relax a little.

“Sure, what do you need to know?”

She grinned, “What can you tell me about the Kincannon?”

Now that was one I hadn’t read in a while. The sinking of the Kincannon. A real classic. I thought it was a little weird that Ginger of all people wanted to know about it, but I didn’t really care, it was an excuse to revisit an old story, one I hadn’t read in a long time.

I couldn’t help it, I felt a matching grin tug at the corners of my mouth.

“Hold on a second.”

I turned my attention back to the microfilm. After sifting through the cards for a while, I finally found the one I was looking for. I slotted it in the machine and waited for it to whir to life. While I did, Ginger scooted her chair next to mine. I tried to catch her eyes, but she wouldn’t look away from the screen. When the paper finally came up, Ginger leaned in even closer, squinting her eyes. I then zoomed in on the start of the article and she sat back down. I sat in silence, patiently waiting for her to finish reading as her eyes darted back and forth across the page. She reached about to the middle of the paper when she leaned back and let out a sigh, “You know what, you’re dying to explain it anyway. I might as well let you do it.”

I felt my smile flicker a bit when she said that. I tried to tone down my excitement a little. I took a deep breath, leaned back in my chair, and told her everything I knew.

“The Kincannon, or the SS Gerard Kincannon if you want to be specific, was a freighter that used to make regular trips to the next town over back in the day. Seven hundred feet long and seventy feet wide, it was a monster, one of the largest ships on the great lakes at the time. For twenty years it was the lifeblood of port cities on the shores of Superior. The Kincannon and ships like it are the reason most of those little towns existed at all, ferrying precious metals from their mines so they could be sold.”

I could tell I was losing her. She didn’t need to butt in, but she did anyway.

“I’m sure that’s all very fascinating, but can we skip to the good parts?”

“Like what?”

“You know, the juicy stuff.” She flashed her eyebrows, “Like how it sunk.”

I was getting to that, but I guess I could shorten things a little. I shifted a bit in my chair and got ready to spin my tale.

“Well, it was a dark and stormy night.”

She rolled her eyes.

“I can’t help it, it was.” I apologized, “The night the Kincannon sunk was one of the worst storms seen this side of the upper peninsula in decades. We’re talking hurricane force winds, thirty foot waves, and freezing waters; About the worst conditions you could ever have to sail through. It’s during storms like those that the lake starts to eat ships, swallowing them whole; The Kincannon, was no exception.”

She leaned in a little closer.

“It was at the tail end of one of its last routes, sailing close to shore to try to make it to the docks in the next town over.”

“Agawa Bay?”

“Yeah, Agawa Bay.”

She scoffed, “Rich pricks.”

“Yeah,” I agreed, “But they’re rich for a reason. The copper mines they have up there are the only reason the Kincannon bothered stopping at all. Every few months it would come back for a fresh shipment from the mines to go sell off, and every time it did it would pass by our town just close enough to see the lighthouse up on redfish point. That lighthouse between our two towns was the Kincannon's lifeline. In storms like the one it was in, you could hardly see much of anything at all. The coast was just a dark blob if you were lucky enough to be able to see it at all, the rain and the waves made sure of that, but as long as that lighthouse was on, sailors could manage to get to port in even the worst conditions.”

As I got into the meat of the story I really started to draw her in. Her eyes didn’t wander and her foot didn’t tap, not anymore.

“Now the captain of the Kincannon knew this. He’d been sailing for the majority of his life. He’d seen his fair share of storms, a few high waves and a little bit of rain wasn’t going to stop him from making the run he’d made thousands of times before. He made the mistake of believing he was unsinkable, and at the helm of a ship the size of the Kincannon, I don’t really blame him. He got cocky, or maybe he was jaded, either way the point is, he underestimated the lake, and that night the lake reminded him of his place.”

Ginger lifted a finger to the corner of her mouth and started to nip at her acrylic nails. I hadn’t seen her bite her nails since middle school. What was she so worried about? It was just a story. I thought about toning it down, but I couldn’t help myself, I was having too much fun.

“We don’t know what it was that physically sank the ship, we never will. It could’ve been a number of things. Could’ve been a rogue wave, or maybe it was high winds, or maybe they ran aground. Whatever it was, when the divers found it, it was in two pieces at the bottom of the lake, split down the middle in a mess of twisted metal. None of that matters though. It doesn’t matter how it sank, the part that’s really interesting is why it did.”

“The lighthouse.” She said, jumping the gun.

I nodded, “It went out. The bulb burst and for eight minutes, the Kincannon sailed blind. That was all it took. By the time the lighthouse keepers managed to fix the bulb, All 35 sailors were already treading water, watching their ship disappear beneath the waves bit by bit every time that light came back around. In just eight minutes, the lake swallowed the unsinkable vessel whole, and took every last man down with it.”

“Jesus.”

“Yeah, spooky stuff, but do you wanna know what really gets me?”

“What?” She asked, begging for more.

“Well, like every other tragedy in this town, the sinking of the Kincannon has a ghost story too. Rumor has it that if you take the long drive up to Redfish Point and you stand at the cliff’s edge during a storm, if you listen hard enough you can still hear the the sailors screams bleeding through the howl of the wind, and if you’re really lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the ship itself; sailing in two halves in between the flash of lightning strikes.”

“Bullshit.” She swore.

I raised a hand and wrapped up, “I swear to god. Ask any one of the old timer’s in town. They’ll tell you the exact same thing.”

“You don’t actually believe that do you?”

I did. Deep down I knew I did, but I couldn’t tell her that.

“Not really. Part of me wished I did, but I don’t.”

“Well, have you at least tried it?”

“Tried what?”

“Going to Redfish Point, during a storm.”

I thought about lying, but I reminded myself of her bullshit detector.

“Once,” I answered.

“And…”

“And I didn’t hear anything.”

She leaned back in her chair and exhaled, “Well that’s disappointing.”

“I mean, not really.” I remarked, “It’s still a great story. One of my favorites.”

I only caught my words after I let them slip.

“One of your favorites?” She asked, scrunching up her face, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

I felt my nerves flare up again. The last thing I wanted was to give her the impression that I was one of those true crime freaks. I don’t read the old newspapers because I get off on the tragedy, I read them because they’re ghost stories. Mason’s dad, the Kincannon, the Hunt Woods Murders, everything I read has some sort of tale attached to it, some urban legend thats been told time and time again around the town’s campfires. I like to sift back through the papers to find out what really happened. Most of the time I wind up debunking the stories I’ve heard, but sometimes, if I’m lucky, I’ll get one that stays a mystery. That’s why I’ve made it to the bottom of the library’s stack of newspaper slides. I’m a sucker for a good ghost story, and the sinking of the Kincannon was one of the best, but I couldn’t tell her that.

I shrugged trying to seem more nonchalant about it than I was, “I don’t know. It’s just a hobby. History’s interesting. Big events like that can leave shockwaves through time that can still be felt today. I think it’s neat.”

Ginger stayed quiet for a moment, thought over my words, and finally said, “You’re into some weird shit Henry. Thanks.”

I didn’t know what to respond to; the insult or the thank you. I settled for both.

“Happy to help?”

Before I could say anything else to her, she got up to leave. I let out a sigh of relief, but nearly choked on the end of it when she turned back around.

“One more thing.” She said, “Was there an obituary in that paper by any chance?”

I wracked my brain for a moment. There wasn’t an obituary, I knew that. The families of the victims wanted it removed. I glossed over that detail when I told her the story. I didn’t think she’d care as much about the details as I did. Regardless, the obituary might not be in the paper, but that doesn't mean I didn’t know where to find it.

I nudged my head towards the door behind the reception desk and told her, “They keep it back there, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up. The families of the sailors were very adamant about not publishing their deaths. The records in that room are one-offs, they don’t just hand them out to anyone.”

Ginger thought over my words for a moment before asking, “What about you? You hang out here all the time. Can you get your hands on them?”

I probably could have, but I’d have to do some sweet talking, which wasn't exactly my strong suit.

“I don’t know. Mrs. Pickens and I may go way back, but I’ve tried to get in that room before and she still wouldn’t let me.”

I couldn’t help but notice the way Ginger’s eyes narrowed on the door. I think it was the intensity of it that caught my attention, the way she burned holes in the cheap particle board door. It was so strange.

“What did you say you needed this for again?” I asked.

Without breaking her gaze she replied, “A summer paper.”

“What class is it for?”

“Robinson’s, why.” She said dismissively, training her eyes on me.

I shrugged, “Just curious. I heard it's doozy.”

Thankfully that was enough for her. She scooped up her things from my desk and replied, “Yeah, it really is. Listen, I’ve gotta run, thanks for your help.”

“No problem.”

She turned on her heels and walked out the door, oblivious that I’d just beaten her at her own game. I caught her in a lie. I was in Robinson’s class too. I got the seating chart last night for the first day on Monday. I sat three seats back and two rows over from her, but she didn’t know that, not yet at least. We were in the same class, and last time I checked, there was no summer paper due. Why would there be? Mr. Robinson taught Calculus.

Humiliated Kirk Douglas 'left in tears' after cruel bullying from Hollywood star

Kirk Douglas hit TV screens over the weekend on BBC 2 in the exceptional 1965 movie The Heroes of Telemark. While the film had Douglas parading around movie sets as a macho resistance fighter taking down Nazis, he struggled to uphold this butch bravado in real life. Especially when it came to working with fellow Hollywood legend Burt Lancaster. Douglas, of course, became a cinematic legend in the 1960s with his portrayal of Spartacus. He later starred in such other massive hits as Gunfight at the OK Corral and Paths of Glory. Throughout the years, Douglas worked with Lancaster numerous times, across seven movies and one play. Because of this, the two Hollywood heartthrobs knew one another very well--whether they liked it or not. The two alpha male actors frequently clashed on and off set. And to make matters worse--because they had spent so much time with one another--they knew exactly how to get on each other's last nerves. According to Lancaster's biography--An American Life, by Kate Buford--things got extremely out of hand when he started verbally assaulting Douglas at a dinner event. At the glitzy occasion, the suited-and-booted Douglas and Lancaster stood in front of a room of their fans to make a speech. But Lancaster saw his opportunity to demean Douglas and seized it. Lancaster, in particular, started picking on Douglas' height. The star was around five feet seven inches tall, which left him shadowed by the large Lancaster's six feet two inches. As if that wasn't cruel enough, Lancaster began revealing some secrets about Douglas' height insecurity and pointed out something very personal about the actor. Lancaster began telling their fans how Douglas used "lifts" in his shoes to elevate himself to look taller than he really was. This incessant teasing apparently hit a nerve for the American star, who reportedly burst into tears in front of the onlookers. Douglas was obviously very sensitive about his height, so this was surely a wound he didn't want to pick at with an audience in front of him, and was left with his eyes while overcome with emotion. Despite their turbulent relationship over the years, the actors became very close friends. And their kinship lasted long after Lancaster died. Lancaster suffered a heart attack in his apartment in Los Angeles on October 20, 1994, and died aged 80 years old. His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered under a large oak tree in Westwood Memorial Park, California. Before his death, he insisted he did not want a memorial or funeral service held for him. Douglas later revealed that not every moment between the two actors was filled with vitriol. During the filming of Gunfight at the OK Corral, they forced the director to yell "cut" because they could not stop uncontrollably laughing together. Douglas dedicated a passage in his memoir, My Stroke of Luck, to Lancaster and this hilarious moment. Douglas died just a few years after his 2017 autobiography was released. He died peacefully at his home in Beverly Hills, California, surrounded by his family on February 5, 2020. His funeral was held at the same place where Lancaster's ashes were scattered, at Westwood Memorial Park Cemetery. He was buried with his son, Eric, who died in 2004, aged 46, from "acute intoxication". Douglas' wife, Anne, died aged 102 and was buried with both Kirk and Eric.

[It was] a relationship mythic in its mutual devotion and classic dissimilarities. “They were like Damon and Pythias,” said Tina Cuccia-Cravat, Nick's daughter. “Burt couldn't be without Nick and Nick couldn't be without Burt,” recalled Nick's sister, Frances Cuccia Rossi. “Any look at Burt begins and ends with Nick,” screenwriter J.P. Miller insisted. — excerpt from An American Life by Kate Buford

I really love the concept of this ask, so I’ll try my best to answer this and please anyone seeing this feel free to add on with examples of our man! Note: these are not necessarily examples of romantic love, I just love the way he shows love!

1. Words of affirmation:

Hotch reassuring Garcia that she didn’t let him down in 6x04 after she takes on the role of liaison following JJ’s departure.

Hotch again telling Garcia the work she does for the team is appreciated and she’s an invaluable member of the team after she takes a case particularly hard in 4x19.

Telling JJ that she should take her time with baby Michael and while she’s absolutely missed, should enjoy her time as a new mom again in 11x01.

Hotch’s moment with Emily in 7x12 when he tells her that he wants him to make a deal with her, and tell him when she’s having a bad day.

Also because I’m feeling a little mean, when he tells Haley that they’ll catch Foyet, she’ll come back and he’ll spend the rest of his life making it up to her.

2. Acts of service:

The most obvious one, wiping the blood from Elle’s apartment in 2x01 after she was shot by the Fisher King.

Paying for Roy and Jessica’s apartment in 10x20 after finding out that he’d have to go into assisted living.

Dropping everything to come when Reid called in a panic when he was scared about Maeve in 8x12.

Coming to the prison so Morgan wouldn’t have to go see Buford alone in 8x18.

Pulling all the strings in the world for Emily in 4x17 by calling the Vatican and giving her closure for Matthew.

3. Gift giving:

This one is a little harder, and the only thing that comes to mind is how he sent Garcia flowers on Gideon’s behalf after he was assy with her in 1x12. Feel free to add on!

4. Quality time:

Spending time with the team in Alex’s childhood home in 9x11.

Coming to Garcia’s Día de los Muertos gathering in 9x06.

Being the one to suggest and coming to Rossi’s pasta night in 7x02.

JJ’s wedding in 7x24.

Going for drinks with the team in 2x14 and countless other team dinners and parties.

Spending the evening with Garcia when she was anxious about the Dirty Dozen and offering to chop ingredients while she made omelettes for them in 11x09.

5. Physical touch:

Aside from the physical touch he exhibits with Beth, Haley and Jack throughout the show, hugging Reid after the Hankel ordeal in 2x15.

Hugging Morgan after Hank was born in 11x18.

Hugging JJ when she came back from maternity leave in 11x07.

And THE best and warmest hug given to Kate after she decided she wanted to leave in 10x23.

Please feel free to add on any you think I missed or with any of your thoughts too!!

The relaxed, joyous Dardo of Flame had inflated into a hypercreature with the streaked blond locks, huge shoulders, big teeth, tight hips, and tall grace of what the New York Post called “the young Sun god, gorgeously coiffed and windblown by nothing less than the ionosphere.”

“Nobody,” said director John Frankenheimer, “has ever looked like Burt Lancaster in The Crimson Pirate.” — Burt Lancaster: An American Life by Kate Buford
