As the guys at Cahiers du Cinema say, au contraire! Hollywood's spigot of stupidity shows no sign of slowing, and cheesy films continue to flood our multiplexes and gunk up our home entertainment centers at an alarming rate. This dire situation calls for a specialist. A professional. An expert in wading through motion pictures so vile that they aren't released; they escape. We need Mike Nelson! Hey, settle down there, pal--you got him!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn more than sixty laugh-out-loud reviews and essays featuring his unique combination of erudite wit and shameless clowning, this screenscarred veteran takes us deep into the recesses of cinematic cheese. He examines legendary showbiz families like Culkin, Baldwin, and Estevez; uncovers an ancient quatrain in which Nostradamus foretells the coming of David Hasselhoff; makes the case for the Food Network and the Three Stooges; and skewers all kinds of movies, including Lost in Space, Twister, Anaconda, The Postman, Spring Break, My Best Friend's Wedding, The Bridges of Madison County, The Blair Witch Project, and many, many more. Here is a film critic for the rest of us: the outrageous, hilarious Mike Nelson.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49578629464337,"sku":"GOR004115250","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49755630534929,"sku":"CIN0380814676A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49781322252561,"sku":"CIN0380814676G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50927395373329,"sku":"CIN0380814676VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53117147971857,"sku":"GOR005353737","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53360625287441,"sku":"GOR001975932","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0380814676.jpg?v=1750975446"},{"product_id":"goth-icky-a-macabre-menagerie-of-morbid-monstrosities-book-michael-j-nelson-9780810957893","title":"Goth-Icky: A Macabre Menagerie of Morbid Monstrosities","description":"From Jekyll and Hyde to B horror movie icons to the Addams family and beyond, macabre misfits have thrived in the fertile soil of modern-age media and pop culture. What is it about vampires, zombies, skeletons, and other mutants brought to life in the darkest recesses of the imagination? Goth-Icky celebrates modern-day goths, their culture, and the morbid monstrosities that inspire them. Containing over 200 images from the print and advertising archives of the Charles S. Anderson Design Company in combination with a hilarious text by the legendary Michael J. Nelson, this book is an amazingly rich and weird testament to the pervasiveness of goth aesthetics, the appeal of kitsch, and our love of horror.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49580700336401,"sku":"GOR002016542","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49953121960209,"sku":"GOR011301660","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50513724178705,"sku":"GOR001954572","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0810957892.jpg?v=1750883182"},{"product_id":"mike-nelson-s-death-rat-book-michael-j-nelson-9780060934729","title":"Mike Nelson's Death Rat!","description":"Downsized from his day job with a publisher of obscure journals, Pontius Foeb, the aging author of inaccessible non-fiction books, is desperate for a commercial hit and comes up with a horror tale about a giant rat that terrorized a Minnesota hamlet in the nineteenth century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49748412137745,"sku":"CIN0060934727A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49938513690897,"sku":"CIN0060934727G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50267659305233,"sku":"CIN0060934727VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50998882992401,"sku":"NIN9780060934729","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51433372221713,"sku":"GOR002499526","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52679387021585,"sku":"NLS9780060934729","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52780777144593,"sku":"GOR008070186","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0060934727.jpg?v=1751355958"},{"product_id":"michael-nelson-recent-drawings-book-michael-j-nelson-9780692821794","title":"Michael Nelson Recent Drawings","description":"This monograph is a companion piece to the 2017 exhibition, Michael Nelson, Recent Drawings. This book features over 60 drawings by the New York native. Born in Brooklyn (1969) Nelson lived and worked through defining times in New York City which shaped his personal perspective and aesthetic. However it was a recent move to the suburbs in Long Island and a long daily commute back to the city that facilitated the work featured in this book. Created entirely while in transit, these drawings illustrate a searching, evolving central figure finding his way threw imagined landscapes. These emotional and highly personal drawings were created in the early morning in a small 5x8 sketch book. The nervous line quality of these drawings, at times dark and frantic and at times faint and waning, illustrate the artist's signature style, but is it the speeding train or frazzled nerves that are responsible for these jittery works? Perhaps it's a little of both, for tone, technique and subject matter are equal players here. Arranged thematically, this book features 30 drawings reprinted at their original size and 30 drawings enlarged to twice their size, giving the viewer access to subtle details and an opportunity to view these works as they were created; hand held, at arms length and on the go. Includes an introduction by the artist.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52736623411473,"sku":"NIN9780692821794","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780692821794.jpg?v=1763408411"},{"product_id":"naked-clone-book-michael-j-nelson-9798859683963","title":"The Naked Clone","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53663885033745,"sku":"NIN9798859683963","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798859683963.jpg?v=1781453773"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-michael-j-nelson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
