The Terminal List
Prologue PROLOGUE IT DIDN’T TAKE A tactical genius to pick the spot. Humans are creatures of habit and some were more religious about it than others. Accountants, it seemed, were practically monastic in their routines. From June 1 to November 1 of every year, Marcus Boykin lived in his mountain house in Star Valley Ranch, Wyoming. Star Valley sounded far more appealing to the East and West Coast real estate buyers than its previous name of Starvation Valley.

Ray Porter was Cast as Darkseid in Zack Snyder’s Justice League
A lot has been written, said and speculated about the Snyder Cut of Justice League. From the moment of its release, it became clear to fans of the filmmaker, that the theatrical cut of Justice League was not a Zack Snyder film. In the weeks that followed, some of us began to get tidbits of information from sources close to the film, which in collaboration with an understanding of Zack Snyder’s shooting methodology, made it clear that there was another version… Zack’s version.

The axe and the tree
The death of eight Elim missionaries and four of their young children by guerrillas in, what was then, Rhodesia was a horrific event.
