Litton, Goldman's id
The apple, it seems, doesn't fall far from the tree:
Litton Loan Servicing received more consumer complaints than any other loan servicer in the three years through June 2010, according to the Better Business Bureau. The 794 complaints against Goldman Sachs' Litton led Morgan Stanley's Saxon Mortgage at 631 complaints, American Home Mortgage at 597, Ocwen at 521 and Barclay's HomEq at 161. The BBB gave Chase, Litton and Ocwen "F" grades due to the volume of complaints filed, their failure to respond and the seriousness of many complaints. Facing a BBB investigation in 2005 prompted by excessive complaints, the BBB voted to revoke Litton's membership, but Litton promptly resigned. "They were arrogant," said Dan Parsons, president of the BBB's Houston chapter. "It was all about how much money they could make."
I'm sure that Goldman has often regretted buying Litton, but I also get the feeling that it's kind of their painting in the attic — the place where the dark Goldman id gets its fullest and most honest expression. Lloyd Blankfein was famously passed over for a job at Goldman before getting a job as a commodities trader at its J Aron subsidiary and rising stratospherically through the ranks; I wonder whether some dark genius at Litton will similarly manage to vault up to become senior Goldman management. After all, subprime mortgage servicing is just about the only part of the financial markets which is even more arrogant than commodities trading.

So in rapid succession we have had an article on how assuming lognormal returns gives you lognormal returns, an article about how structured product CDOs invest in structured products and now the shocking news that companies are all about making money. Maybe you could write an expose about how politicians are trying to get elected?
No one in the right frame of mind would choose servicing (of any type) to generate a high rate of return on invested capital. Labor-intensive + workforce turnover, technology-intensive, and not to mention outside entities make hay with their own interpretation of any rules.
Given the few servicer shops I ever visited…no thanks. Origination has to be a better game to play.
Goldman never, not for a nanosecond regretted buying Litton. Litton is only one of many subsidiary servicers busily manufacturing bogus defaults, "credit events" that generated obscene CDS payouts for proprietary traders shorting subprime. If you're thinking of telling me that there are Chinese walls between trading desk and subsidiary servicers, well I've got a really swell barge I'd like to sell you.
All the investment banks that acquired servicers in the runup to the crisis knew they could profit mightily from mortgage servicing fraud and they did. Servicers heavily influence the disposition of the collateral of any mortgage security. Those who owned and controlled servicers knew where to place their bets. What you are looking at here is the largest insider trading scheme we have ever seen.
Look at these FTC settlements on servicing fraud and ask yourself, "Who profited?"
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing – now owned by BoA – http://www.ftc.gov:80/opa/2010/06/countr ywide.shtm
EMC Mortgage Corp. – formerly Bear Stearns subsidiary, now JPMC – http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/09/emc.shtm
Select Portfolio Servicing – Credit Suisse subsidiary http://www.ftc.gov/fairbanks
Hang on a second, McGriffin. Take a look at the larger picture. Servicers live to generate and collect fees. Late fees, modification fees, assumption fees, interest on corporate advances, etc. They, in and of themselves, have little to no skin in the actual investment game – unless they choose to.
Servicers are also the gateway to virtually ALL of the information that matters to anyone. Data mining and predictive analytics galore. Specifically loan level information. If you know what an individual loan is doing you know what to expect in the future.
If you know what 5,000 loans are doing you can wager a fairly decent bet on the Street as to if/when those loans, and the REMIC in which they're securitized, are going to tank.
And, since you're the servicer, you are also in control of which loans, and subsequently the REMICs they make up, are going to tank by creating default situations i.e. holding current payments until past due, assessing force placed insurance when homeowner policies are already in place, etc.
I find it curious as hell that, at one point, Fairbanks Capital Corp. claimed that as much as 40% of it's portfolio was in some phase of default. At that time, they claimed to service 750,000 loans. 40% of 750,000 is 300,000. USA/Curry v. Fairbanks class involved 281,1000 victims.
Take a quick look at p. 18 "Servicer Diversification" of the ABACUS 2007-AC1 flipbook sometime. Run the top 5 servicers' names through Justia.com or PACER or even Google. Take a look at the sheer magnitude of litigation against them and what the actions claim. Different servicers, virtually identical claims. If you know what is going on at loan level, you know how to structure the CDO. You know how big the losses are going to be. You know how much money you stand to make on the other side of the fence.
Servicers aren't worried about work force turn over rates. They don't need to b/c there really is no specialized training that anyone needs going INTO at least the lower level jobs. Not even a college degree. Check out Hot Jobs or Monster sometime and see which servicers are hiring for what positions.
Servicers hold the keys to the hen house. Part of why this financial "crisis" is as big as it is is because everyone STILL refuses to acknowledge that mortgage servicers are part of the overall PROBLEM and have no interest in being part of the SOLUTION.
I cringe every time I use the word "crisis" in conjunction with this economy. "Crisis" denotes a sudden onset "surprise" to me. Something unforeseen and/or uncontrollable happening. This "crisis" is neither of those. And anyone that says that they never saw it coming is both selectively deaf and blind – but they are FAR from being dumb.
Mr. Salmon, I humbly suggest that you take a good look at the time frame that entities began deciding to bring mortgage servicers "in-house". For the longest time, servicers were considered "third party" entities. Roughly 2004 everyone seemed to begin looking at purchasing servicing platforms. Credit Suisse took Fairbanks/SPS in '05. GS grabbed Litton in '07. Morgan Stanley acquired Saxon in '06. Merrill purchased Wilshire Credit in '04. What did they all realize 4,5,6 years ago?
Ah Mr. Dillon was so very right. I wonder what connections to data and insider trading might have been going on that will soon hit the fan?
Goldman wishes to dump Litton as a liability before the poopoo hits the proverbial fan and gets them even more soiled. I sincerely hope there are still some paper trails to follow.
This was very helpful. I need to learn more about law. I am very new to it. Thanks for all the tips!

A few concert posters that I've designed for various gigs / bands.
Here's a cut off The Muckrakes upcoming CD, Grandiphonia.
Although this version of "Young & Crazy" will NOT be on the CD, I decided to release it on my blog to give you an idea of the music that were working with and revamping.
When the CD is released, compare the two versions. I'm sure you'll be a lil' shocked to hear the difference in structure, instrumentation and inflection.
Where I live is about to get creamed by Hurricane Earl this weekend.
Trailer Park Love Story by The Muckrakes, recorded in Richmond, VA. at The Capital Ale & Music Hall.
Sounds like the stack of leftovers in old margarine tubs, wobbling on the wire shelves of a ColdPoint fridge, tilting forward on the cigarette-burned kitchen linoleum of a 1978 single-wide, propped up on chocks cut from a telephone pole in the Goldrun Village Trailer Park.
Sugar Darlin' by The Muckrakes. "Love is a rollercoaster, let's take it for a ride". The band will be playing in Newport News, VA tonight at 9PM.
For "Free Music Tuesday", here's "Until They're Gone" by The Muckrakes. Another download to the song can be found at this link: http://bit.ly/bTdAes
It's Thursday, that means "punk rock" mayhem. With that said, here a video of me breaking my collar bone as I played with with The Trauma Dolls. There's also some blood and broken glass. Good times, good times.
Best thing about being from the south….
Poster for The Muckrakes gig in Norfolk, VA at The Colley Cantina on October 19th @ 9PM.
The Bottle Babies playing "Kick Out The Jams" by MC5 in Norfolk, VA. @ Club 37th & Zen. I played until my fingers bled that night…literally.
Asking help for a CD cover design. The CD is for my band, The Muckrakes. The name of the CD is "Grandiphonia".
Music style is a mixture of lo-fi Americana rock meeting a stack of leftovers in old margarine tubs, wobbling on the wire shelves of a ColdPoint fridge, tilting forward on the cigarette-burned kitchen linoleum of a 1978 single-wide, propped up on chocks cut from a telephone pole in the Goldrun Village RV park.
We like to stand tall and enjoy stomping strongly through weedy stagnant undergrowth with deftly articulated songs, lyrical stories wrought from heady memories, and music-craft from the backwaters of The Old Dominion.
Anyway, we can't offer much. But we can offer credit art to the CD on both our website and cover inner sleeve as well as a slew of band merchandise and tickets to every show as well as link and promo from all of our networking sites.
Ya interested?
We can be seen and heard:
And found on facebook
C'mon artist…help a band in need and get noticed. Let's see what ya'll got.
Deadline: Oct 15th, 2010
The city that I live in, does not allow cursing in public.

Zwiers: Hope for the future begins with you
By Adela Talbot
June 11, 2014
The combined expertise and experience of today's graduates is essential to addressing monumental issues like climate change, climate researcher Francis Zwiers told graduates at the Wednesday, June 11, afternoon session of Western's 303rd Convocation.
"Your education has prepared you with the background and tools to prepare and pose pathways and solutions to (problems)," said the director of University of Victoria's Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC). "Use your abilities to the fullest and don't hesitate to invest in additional learning, especially in areas outside of your comfort zone."
Zwiers spoke to graduates from the Faculty of Social Science and Faculty of Science at the Wednesday, June 11, afternoon session of Western's 303rd Convocation. Western conferred an honorary Doctor of Science, honoris causa (DSc), upon Zwiers for his exemplary work in the area of climate science.
Zwiers told graduates they must not be afraid to challenge themselves, to learn more and to engage themselves in issues that challenge society. Even though the effects of climate change are ongoing, with imminent changes regardless of efforts we make today to cut greenhouse gas emissions, Zwiers told graduates he will not despair.
"I remain optimistic for the future; my optimism stems from you, young graduates," he said.
An internationally recognized leader in the area of climate research, Zwiers trained as a statistician. His research focused on the application of statistics to questions central to the understanding of climate change, including predictability and what role humans play in climate change, as well as its result as it contributes to the frequency and intensity of extreme weather and climate events.
He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the American Meteorological Society, and has received, among other honours, the Patterson Medal, awarded annually to Canadian residents for distinguished service to meteorology. Zwiers also teaches in Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria and the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at Simon Fraser University.
"Do not be afraid to use your abilities to the fullest." - Francis Zwiers #westernu2014 #purpleandproud
— #WesternU LIVE (@westernuLIVE) June 11, 2014
Before becoming Director of PCIC, Zwiers also served as the chief of the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis and the director of the Climate Research Division at Environment Canada.
A recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2013, Zwiers received the Impact Award from the Statistical Society of Canada in 2011 and the World Meteorological Organization Award for Exceptionally Long Term Service to the Commission for Climatology in 2010.
He served as editor of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate from 1999-2004 and has served as associate editor since 2005.
In her citation, Faculty of Science Dean Charmaine Dean praised Zwiers for his work and lifelong dedication to climate change research – something that aims to ensure humanity prospers.
Dean called Zwiers a "stellar research(er), passionate educator, skilled communicator and a mentor to scientists as a trailblazer who has, with skill and generosity, guided innumerable young investigators to make their marks on science and the world."
Also during the ceremony, the Edward G. Pleva Award for Excellence in Teaching was awarded to Earth Sciences professor Cameron Tsujita.

text: |In 2008, I was functioning at a well-known adult toy retail store in Tucson. Twenty-nine yrs aged, I was actually a recent learner from a West Virginia college where I had learned Advanced Computer Science and also flung myself head-first right into the eclectic as well as drastically broad-minded urbanity of my adopted metropolitan area. Operating at Really good Vibrations, I was actually surrounded through desire, coming from adult vibrating dildo to fellow workers who were informed and articulate regarding porn. The shop had racks of a variety of kinds of adult movies, offered for rental as well as acquisition. After twenty four months, I had consumed a fair quantity of porn and was consumed to discussing it with my associates and also clients. Searching back on that moment, I recall viewing adult and also presuming that I had one thing to offer to that. With very few exceptions, the pornography I had actually observed really felt vacant, fake, and not representative of my desire and also the sort of sex I was actually having. I frankly presumed that I could modify the movies right. Numerous ladies provide up on porn after one or more of a sense of withdrawal, revulsion, absence of arousal, humiliation, or any sort of mix of these emotions. In the big majority of porno clips, "specific women aesthetics are promoted: female actors typically have long hair, are lean, commonly Caucasian, between their adolescents as well as thirties, possess implant as well as wear higher heels and also a number of cosmetics." This "perfect" of femaleness and femininity doesnt suit the broad scale of physiques and identifications of "actual" females, a disjuncture that enhances ladiess alienation from x-rated images. That is actually not tough, offered this, to find why lots of girls, like myself, might not only not recognize with girls in porn however feel that they fail by comparison. Adding in physique dysmorphia in order to all the various other complex crossways in between girls as well as x-rated material-- consisting of preexisting concepts about performing artist organization, selection, and also social self-disgust-- the leading experience could complex a ladys communication with porno thus regarding adversely affect her self-image. My involvement with porno was actually none challenged by shame. I valued the women that I saw in the movies and also had little to no preconditioned opinions about them, yet I would certainly discover myself critiquing them as employees and also considering exactly what I would certainly do in different ways as well as much better. I had actually experienced sex in my individual life as an usually good, pleasurable, and liberating encounter. I wished to see that prior experience in the adult I was actually consuming. Like lots of women customers, I possessed problem associating with the females in these clips as well as their sexual presentations. Their physiques seemed various from mine, and they appeared to stand for a sex that was actually overseas to me, one of harsh feminality: vulnerable yet hypersexual, intimately desiring but passive, ready for any type of sex action but without the impetus in order to create it happen. This seemed to be as if sex was actually taking place "to" these women instead of with them or due to their options or even motivations. I didnt think of that the actresses disliked having lovemaking, but somewhat that they were actually carrying out in a club that prevented their personal articulation. I desired to know exactly what they resembled when they sexual act in their real lives, as well as I wished to find that onscreen. Along with mainstream pornography, I was actually exposed to images of several of the heirs of feminist x-rated material incorporating Annie Sprinkle and also Nina Hartley. I checked out Nina Hartleys movies and also experienced appreciation for her honest as well as crystal clear much of referring to sex. I liked that she was actually fully present and also knowledgeable of herself and her performance. The videos Nina, Annie, as well as others helped make exemplified a sexuality that was actually open, honest, as well as without embarassment; they showcased gender that was entertaining and consensual. They possessed a sex-related agency that I discovered exciting. That was actually the 1st moment that I discovered lovemaking that reverberated with me as well as that I preferred in order to follow. Despite having these movies though, I still had problems with the human bodies: the differences in between theirs and mine. I could hardly connect to the curvy physique kind of Nina Hartley or Annie Sprinkle. At 69" and 147 pounds, I have been actually athletic and also sinewy for many of my adult life. My busts are little A mugs, and my appeal is actually typically even more androgynous in comparison to girly. Like lots of females, I experienced the simultaneous intrigue and revulsion that can easily go along with porno movie checking out: of being actually all at once mesmerized and repulsed by the performers as they personify stereotyped lady "appeal" and also "brilliance." While I was gradually creating my own suggestions regarding just what porno should be actually, I reviewed my notions with my sex-wise colleagues at Great Resonances. One coworker in particular, Shine Emmy Houston, was actually regularly obtainable and intrigued in my thoughts on porn, as she had some fairly exciting notions of her own. When I discussed the type of porn I intended to see, she discussed the form of adult she wished to create. She conversed with eagerness concerning what she thought of was erotic and sensual as well as just what her clips might appear like. Her goal was to direct sex acts that were actually "authentic," a condition that our team discussed fairly a little. I was taken with her aspiration as well as with her enthusiasm but also the fluidity of her tips: forward believing, unique, as well as jittery, like mine. On a work break eventually, I offhandedly shared that should her aspiration ever before involved fruition, I will star in her 1st movie. I implied it, though I questioned that I will ever must make excellent on such a promise. She remaininged her project at the sex store afterwards that talk. Over the program of the following month, I only read about her in passing from common close friends. After that I acquired a telephone call from Shine. As that switched out, during the course of that months, she was operating on exhibiting the XXX video empire that would eventually modify my everyday life. Check hardcore porn videos, amateur porn videos, indian porn videos - friends saw amusing feast there earlier. Be ready explore halamadridbitches later.

Hillside Apartments Resident
They take forever to due maintenance or repairs that may need to be done to the apartments, when they actually Read More due to due decide to due the work they try to put a bandage over to problem instead of actually fix the problem. Also the language barrier is another key factor because the maintenance staff speaks very little English.

Big Harlequin Escape Celebration with big YA/NA Giveaway!
Happy Friday my Friends! Today, I'm super excited to celebrate the first Year Anniversary of Harlequin ESCAPE Publishing a pretty new imprint with some amazing books!
I have the pleasure hosting Escape Publishing First Lady, Kate Cuthbert, (managing editor) here with a post on starting a digital imprint. Seriously, her post is inspiring and amazing, don't miss it!
And of course, also don't miss a Big Giveaway at the end!
Back when Harlequin approached me with their plans for a digital-first imprint, I was so excited to be part of their new initiative, and join the team that was synonymous with romance fiction. At the time, we had a vague idea about taking new risks in publishing – finding local and overseas authors that had great stories to tell that might not otherwise have found a home. They might be too different, too cross-genre, too niche. Publishing was (and still is!) undergoing massive changes, and so many books were not being published because they were too risky. We were in the mood to take a few risks.
We also wanted to take on the new digital world. We wanted to avoid DRM and geographical restrictions, to work within the new price points, and to see what we could do. And we wanted to do it all by creating a strong author community and a strong reader community that all understood our obsessive love of romance fiction.
It's been a year. It's been quite a year. And, honestly? It's been a great year.
What I think is best, however, is that we haven't realised all of our goals – but we have realised the important ones.
I couldn't be prouder of our first year, of our authors, our books, our covers, our coverage. Reviews have been positive, the reader reaction very strong. We have a backlist catalogue that truly offers something for everyone.
For me personally, the year has been about reading. With Escape's two-week turnaround time on the initial three-chapter submission, I've got a lot on the go all the time, so my iPad and I are very, very close. But I get to read romance for a living, so you're never going to hear me complain. Here are some things I've learned:
So what now? More of everything – more books, more new authors, more figuring out how to carve ourselves a place in the digital landscape. But mostly, more risks and more great stories. I can't wait to see what year 2 brings.
They have some really amazing sounding titles and below are some I'm truly looking forward reading myself! I absolutely love their concept!
This is a worldwide publisher
I absolutely love their concept!
"Our mission: To connect readers all around the world with the stories they want to read.We love romance, all romance, so when we imagined Escape Publishing, we imagined an imprint without restrictions, where romance readers can find the romance they want, in the style they want, at the length they want, whenever they want. In short, you want it – we've got it.If it's science fiction, fantasy, contemporary, historical, erotic, gay romance, inspirational romance, urban fantasy, paranormal, or YA romance – or any mixture of the above, Escape Publishing's got it. We offer all levels of sensuality from the sweetest kisses to the hottest encounters. We offer different lengths, from short stories through novellas to full length novels. Our novels are standalone, loosely connected, or part of an ongoing series.Escape Publishing is dedicated to bringing talented Australian voices to a global audience. All stories are DRM free, and available world-wide." taken from "Escape Publishing" About Us
Thanks to Escape Publishing I have such an amazing Giveaway for you guys! See these amazing titles below? It's a wonderful mixture of Young Adult and New Adult titles and…. there will be 5 winners for all 5 books! AWESOME, hu?

Feature & Giveaway: The Coincidence Of Callie And Kayden by Jessica Sorensen
I'm super to host Jessica Sorensen today for a special feature about her newest release The Coincidence Of Callie And Kayden and more excitingly, her books are no available also on audiobook! Thanks to the amazing people from Hachette we also have a giveaway for you guys later….
And now, please welcome Jessica for an Interview about Audiobooks and New Adult:
Are you a fan of audiobooks yourself? If so where do you listen most?
I love audiobooks! The two places I listen to them the most are in the car and while I'm working out.
What was the best part of hearing your characters portrayed aloud?
For me listening to books on audio is almost like watching a movie but without the visual part of it and I think that adds more dimensions to the characters.
For fans of yours who already love your characters, including Callie and Kayden, would you say listening is a good way to re-experience your books?
I do think it is a good way for readers to re-experience my books because I think hearing an actually voice read and portray a character they love adds a little more to the story.
Do you anticipate the popularity of audiobooks continuing to grow in tandem with the rise of the New Adult genre? It seems like a perfect medium (along with ebooks) for people who might not want to share their steamier reads — what do you think?
I know a lot of my New Adult fans want to listen to the audio as well, and some fans just listen to the audio, so I do think as the popularity of the audio will rise with the genre.
What do you think of Leslie Bellair as a narrator?
I think she did a great job! I was actually surprised at how well the voice matched to what I would imagine Callie's voice sounding like.
About The Books
Book I
Find the Book: goodreads | amazon | audible
There are those who don't get luck handed to them on a shiny platter, who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don't get saved.
Luck was not on Callie's side the day of her twelfth birthday when everything was stolen from her. After it's all over, she locks up her feelings and vows never to tell anyone what happened. Six years later her painful past consumes her life and most days it's a struggle just to breathe.
For as long as Kayden can remember, suffering in silence was the only way to survive life. As long as he did what he was told, everything was okay. One night, after making a terrible mistake, it seems like his life might be over. Luck was on his side, though, when Callie coincidentally is in the right place at the right time and saves him.
Now he can't stop thinking about the girl he saw at school, but never really knew. When he ends up at the same college as Callie, he does everything he can to try to get to know her. But Callie is reserved and closed off. The more he tries to be part of her life, the more he realizes Callie might need to be saved.
Book II in the The Coincidence series is out now!

Author Bio taken from Authors webpage!
I'm the author of the Fallen Star Series, the Darkness Falls Series, the Death Collectors Series, and the New York Times and USA Today Best Seller, The Secret of Ella and Micha, a New Adult Contemporary novel.
I love writing and reading almost anything that is YA. Some of my favorite authors are Cassandra Clare, Sarah Dessen, Becca Fitzpatrick, Abbi Glines, Tammara Webber, Jamie McGuire and Jennifer L. Armentrout. I'm also an avid watcher of TV series The Vampire Diaries and of Modern Family.
I absolutely love music. When I'm writing, 9 out of 10 times I have music blaring in the background. My list of favorite songs could go on and on, since I have a very broad taste in music. But a few of my favorite bands are Chevelle, Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, Brand New, Death Cab for Cutie, Flight 409, Nirvana, and I'm going to stop there or else I'll keep going on forever.
I don't really have any favorite movies, but a few that I could watch over and over again are Anywhere but Here, Juno, Pride and Prejudice, The Hangover, and Bad Teacher.
And now, thanks to Hachette we do have one paperback copy of The Coincidence Of Callie And Kayden for you to win! Giveaway is US only, entries via the Rafflecopter below.

I'm With Stupid by Geoff Herbach - Blog Tour - Get to know Felton! - Giveaway
I'm happy to welcome today Geoff Herbach on the Blog who wrote a phenomeal Contemporary Series which follows a boy Felton on his way to become a Football star. The series begins with "Stupid Fast" where awkward Felton discovers that he's super fast and then starts playing Football – now his whole life changes!
Also, thanks Geoff's publicist you can win these books below!
I am Felton. I'm with stupid.
My name is Felton Reinstein. That is not a fast name, but, seriously, I'm stupid fast. I didn't ask to be so fast. What I wanted most when I was a wee little squirrel nut of a boy was to be funny, except nobody found me funny at all. At least, not when I was trying to be funny. I got knocked around a lot.
Then, I grew. Fast. Huge. Out of no place. Like pro football huge. I had no idea where this growth came from. My mom, Jerri, used to be a hippy lady with jangling bells sewn into her skirts. She played guitar and sang songs. She wrote poetry. She is not big or fast.
Dad. When I was five years old, I found him dead in the garage. Hanging. He did it to himself. For my whole life, Jerri told me that Dad was a short, fat, sad Jewish dude. Turns out that wasn't the case at all. Turns out he was like me.
I am like him.
For all of high school, now, I've run and run. I turned into the best football player in the state of Wisconsin. Maybe one of the best ever. But, along the way, I lost friends. I hurt my little brother, Andrew, who plays piano. I lost the only girlfriend I ever had. I don't know why. It's like I'm me and I know I'm me, but someone else is driving. I run and run, but you can't run forever.
Sometime. Some day. You have to stop and face the facts. My dad is a fact. What he did is a fact. Who I am is fact. You can't ever get away from yourself, you know?
The fact is, I'm with stupid.
sooo, don't you want to meet Feldon now too?!?! I certainly do!!
Published June 1st 2011 by Sourcebooks Fire
I, Felton Reinstein, am Stupid Fast. Seriously. The upper classmen used to call me Squirrel Nut, because I was little and jumpy. Then, during sophomore year, I got tall and huge and so fast the gym teachers in their tight shorts fell all over themselves. During summer, three things happened all at once. First, the pee-smelling jocks in my grade got me to work out for football, even though I had no intention of playing. Second, on my paper route the most beautiful girl I have ever seen moved in and played piano at 6 a.m. Third, my mom, who never drinks, had some wine, slept in her car, stopped weeding the garden, then took my TV and put it in her room and decided she wouldn't get out of bed.
Listen, I have not had much success in my life. But suddenly I'm riding around in a jock's pick-up truck? Suddenly I'm invited to go on walks with beautiful girls? So, it's understandable that when my little brother stopped playing piano and began to dress like a pirate I didn't pay much attention. That I didn't want to deal with my mom coming apart.
Published May 1st 2012 by Sourcebooks Fire
Hey Aleah,
I miss you. Because there's some serious donkey crap going on right now. I'm supposed to be at football camp, but noooo … Andrew had to go missing! So because of my stupid little brother, I'll probably lose my chance at a scholarship and end up being nothing special.
I'm pretty sure Andrew ran away to Florida, and now Gus and I have to drive cross-country to get him. Did you know Gus used to think
Miss Piggy was hot? Anyway, Andrew once told me I needed to get my head out of my butt. So that's what I'm trying to do. How about a kiss for luck?
"Readers looking for a genuinely memorable first-person narrator–in the vein of Sherman Alexie's Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian or Pete Hautman's Godless– should really catch up to Stupid Fast."–StarTribune
Published May 1st 2013 by Sourcebooks Fire
Felton Reinstein has never been good with stress. Which is why he's seriously freaking out. Announcing his college choice on national TV?
It's a heart attack waiting to happen. Deciding on a major for the
next four years of his life? Ridiculous! He barely even knows who he
is anymore without football. And so…he embarks on The Epic Quest to
Be Meaningful.
Which leads to:
1. Mentoring a freshman called Pig Boy.
2. The entire state of Wisconsin hating him.
3. His track coach suspending him.
4. The funniest viral video the world has ever seen.
5. A whole new appreciation for his family, his friends and what
what's really important in life.
and now… we even have a Giveaway for you Guys which is .. open International!! YES awesome hu?
We will have one winner who can pick any of the books in the series. So you want to get started, or want to follow Felton's story? Choose which book you want to win! Enter via the Rafflecopter below!
And now, don't you want to meet Felton now too??? I'm already in love with this story and I cannot wait to read all 3 books now back to back!
Much Love,

Blood Makes Noise by Gregory Widen
My Thoughts:
First of all, I'd like to say that I'm not all that familiar with the historical figure Eva Peron. Blame my sieve of a memory for history, I'm a scientist. I'm of the right age where the mention of "Evita" makes me think of Madonna, which is probably not a good sign. But I love thrillers, and let me tell you, Gregory Widen has written one hell of a great historical thriller here in Blood Makes Noise. I didn't think of Madonna once while I read the book, so you know that I was sucked right into the danger, the intrigue, the murder, the subterfuge, the political unrest…
CIA agent Michael Suslov is stationed in Buenos Aires in the 1950s for his first assignment. Learning the ropes in a city that isn't foreign to him because he grew up there shouldn't be as difficult as it is, but the other agents aren't very welcoming. Michael and his wife constantly feel like the odd ones out, getting the cold shoulder from the agents and their wives both at work and at after work functions. But it's at one of these parties soon after they arrive in Buenos Aires that Michael meets Hector Cabinillas, an Argentine military intelligence officer. And so begins their odd relationship where Hector will only deal with Michael, not any of the other American agents, and Michael is one of the few disinterested people that Hector truly trusts.
In the dark of night, Hector calls on Michael to meet him to bear witness to something monumental: the removal of Eva Peron's preserved body from a sealed vault. Claiming that it's for the good of the country to have Evita's overwhelming presence—even in death—gone and forgotten about, Hector doesn't have to do much to convince Michael that he is the only one that can get her corpse out of the country and hidden, and that it is Michael's one chance at a happy life with his wife with a change in duty station.
So Michael manages to spirit the body of Eva Peron out of South America, but not before his life is destroyed just as anyone else's who has had a hand in the regime. For sixteen years, only one person knows where Evita's final resting place lies, and as Michael's past finally catches up with him, he only has one chance to make up for a life of horrible wrongs.
Blood Makes Noise follows Michael Suslov for the first portion of the book as a CIA agent, and the third person narrative gives great insight into what it's like to live in Buenos Aires in the 1950s and work as an operative in a foreign country. The middle third of the book focuses on Alejandro in the early 1970s, sixteen years after Eva Peron's body disappeared. He had met Evita when he was an orphaned child and became fixated on her ever since. Now part of the neo-Peronist Montonero movement, he believed that she was still the soul of the revolution, and they believed that bringing her back into the country could quash the threat of civil war. Alejandro is brutal and will do anything to find her body, but first he has to find out who knows where she is. The final third of the book is where all hell breaks loose as the race to find Eva Peron begins.
The sights, the smells, and the sounds are all described vividly without being too obtrusive while the historical events are peppered into the story without sticking out. The writing is concise and not overly wordy, told in third person throughout with an emotional closeness that left my heart aching at times for the characters. The brutality, blunt ugliness of the time, carefully researched historical facts and people, and sometimes uneasy situations made Blood Makes Noise a tense, thrilling picture of mid-century South America—politics and all. The relationships between the characters were so realistic and heart-wrenching at times, but I could not put this book down. Five out of five for Blood Makes Noise—best thriller that I've read in a few of years.

The Big PubLove Event - Featuring Penguin and Erin Galloway!
Welcome to a new exciting event here at the Bookworms:
As book bloggers our contacts with publishers are vital. They send us books and we work with them closely on promotional posts for their newest, exciting releases. It's such a pleasure when we see that often they are just as excited as we are about the books! They're like us, just with WAY cooler jobs and INFINITELY greater access to the authors we
stalk love
Have you ever wondered who is behind sending all of those emails we get from the big houses? What they really do and why the work with bloggers like you and me? Ever wondered what we can improve and what do they like to see us post and maybe… even what do they not like?!?
Well…we've wondered those very things and we want to share the answers we've dug up with YOU!
So we've reached out to our favorite publishers and asked them the questions we know you've all been dying to ask (but were perhaps a little too shy to actually voice)!
Over the next few weeks, we will highlight different publishers, publicists and marketing associates from big publishing houses.
Last week we kicked this event off with Macmillan and Ksenia Winniki and this week we are excited to have:
This week we have Erin Galloway on the Blog is a Senior Publicist at Penguin. I had the pleasure working with Erin on some great Blog Posts so I am excited having her here today!!
Erin, thank you so much for joining us today!!! We're so thrilled to get to give our readers a deeper look into the life of a Macmillan Publishing professional!
Could you briefly explain what your job entails and how you are involved with Book Bloggers?
We are senior publicists for the Berkley/NAL imprints at Penguin Group (USA) and we regularly work with bloggers on blog tours, book reviews and promotions.
What do you love most about your job?
Authors and books! We are fortunate to work with many wonderful authors and have bottomless "to be read piles" of fabulous books.
What do you love most about working with Bloggers?
We're both just readers at heart and that's why we enjoy working with bloggers—we're all part of the same community and we all love books. Bloggers are some of the most passionate people we work with and it's incredibly gratifying to work with people who get as excited about books as we do.
What do you expect from Bloggers when they post a review or a promotional post during a tour?
When we work with bloggers on tours, we just expect that whatever date(s) we agree to for reviews or guest posts the blogger will carry through on. We completely understand life occasionally throws a curveball your way and we only ask that you give us as much advance notice as possible if something needs to change. We're professionals and we know bloggers are too, so we just like common courtesy all around!
What do you look at when you decide to work with certain bloggers? Pageviews, Followers, Alexa? Design?
We're mostly looking at a blogger's reach. We're in the business of selling books after all, so we'd like to see if that if we're sending a blogger review copies or asking a blogger to host our author, that the blogger has a wide reach of readers through a combination of their site, Twitter, Facebook and/or Goodreads.com.
Our favorite things experienced bloggers do:
1. Post their review with links to the author's online presence—website, Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, etc.
2. Include links to buy the book.
3. Posting right around the book's on-sale date.
4. Sending us one email with a roundup of several books they are interested in as opposed to multiple emails in a 2-3 day period. Makes our lives much easier!
5. Keep us updated on special features they are running or big accomplishments. This lets us know about new ways we can partner with bloggers who already know and enjoy working with.
6. Tell us what they like and don't like. Trust us, we'd rather pitch you on books that fall within the subgenres you enjoy. If you love urban fantasy but aren't crazy about historicals, let us know. It makes things easier for everyone.
7. Include their blog in their email signature! Chances are we already know, but we work with A LOT of bloggers, so it's nice to have that refresher in the email signature, particularly if we're just starting to work together.
8. Treat us like professionals! Experienced bloggers always address us by name, are clear about why they are contacting us and thank us for our time. We promise we'll do the same in return for you!
9. Let us know when they will be attending various romance conferences and conventions. If we're attending the same ones we're happy to meet up!
Anything you'd like to add?
We really enjoy bloggers' enthusiasm for books. It makes this community so much fun to work with. Please never lose sight of that!
That was so helpful! I really loved reading Erin's list of "Our favorite things experienced bloggers do" it tells me a lot about how to approach publicists and what works best for them!
and now… we have an EPIC Giveaway sponsored by Penguin and NAL
We will have 4 lucky winners this time!

Dead Silence by Kimberly Derting - Blog Tour and Giveaway
Today I'm pretty excited to be part of Kimberly Derting Blog Tour for her newest release "Dead Silence" (Book 4 in the Body Finder Series) at the Bookworms. I have a pretty awesome post from Kimberly which made me giddy just reading it and below you'll find a Giveaway!
Dead Silence is the 4th book in the amazing Body Finder series. And.. apart from the main character Violet who is made of awesome, there is one character I nearly love more than her: Jay Heaton. He's the poster boy of the lovely Boy Next Door or the Best Friend you fall in love with. Even though I love the bad boys so much, Jay is the perfect exception. He's sweet, cute but he loves Violet with all his heart and I feel pretty hard for him too. So, I asked Kimberly if she could touch the subject of the Bad Boy versus the lovable Boy Next Door and I'm excited to hand the blog over to her now talking about .. Boys! Wooot!!
Boys…gotta love 'em. And there's no shortage of different kinds of boys. Tall boys, short boys, nerdy boys, athletic ones, and those who like kittens and volunteer in soup kitchens.
And then there are the bad ones, you know these guys—the kind who roll up on their Harley's, unshaven—maybe without a shirt—who can make your jaw drop with just the wiggle of an eyebrow.
Then there are the other ones, too. That boy you've known most of your life. The one who actually gets your inside jokes, remembers your birthday, and carries your books. He sneaks in under the radar, wiggling his way into your heart when you don't see him coming, until, before you know it, you can't remember what it's like to live without him.
Now, let's break this down, shall we? We'll call today's lesson…The Weird Science of Boys:
Bad Boys:
He drinks extra-black coffee from Styrofoam cups and most definitely does not recycle.
He wears Levi 501s and whatever t-shirt that is laying on the floor next to his bed (which is most definitely not made).
He's cocky, arrogant, and has abs of steel, but never has to work out!
He lives by his own rules and to hell with the consequences!
He says what he wants, when he wants, and it still makes your heart race.
He shows the world his bad attitude but only shows you his heart of gold.
The Boy Next Door:
He drinks a double-shot mocha, but also brings you your favorite drink, which he always remembers.
He letters in track/baseball/football and wears his Varsity jacket everywhere. He'll give it to you, though, if you're cold.
He's sweet and attentive and also has abs of steel. (He should take off his shirt more often!)
He's a stickler for the rules and is most definitely someone who recycles.
He has a hard time finding the right thing to say—especially when it comes to you. It took him forever to tell you how he feels.
He wears his heart on his sleeve but when he finally gives it to you, you won't ever want to give it back.
So there you have it…the good, the bad, and the Boy Next Door.
Which boy would you choose? I'm guessing there are a few of you out there who would like one of each, am I right???
Ahaha. how much I love this post!! To answer Kimberly's Questions, I think I go with the Bad Boy… even though Jay would be the perfect exception. Love this boy so much ) However, usually, I am more drawn to the bad boys with lots of attitude … UhhUhh..
Kimberly Derting is the author of the BODY FINDER series (HarperCollins) and THE PLEDGE trilogy (Simon & Schuster). She lives in the Seattle area, with her husband and three children, who often find the outrageous things they say either in the pages of her books or posted on Twitter or Facebook for the entire world to see.

Violet thought she'd made peace with her unique ability to sense the echoes of the dead and the imprints that cling to their killers…that is until she acquired an imprint of her own. Forced to carry a reminder of the horrible events of her kidnapping, Violet is more determined than ever to lead a normal life. However, the people who run the special investigative team Violet works for have no intention of letting her go.
When someone close to Violet becomes a suspect in a horrific murder, she finds herself pulled into a deadly hunt for a madman with an army of devoted followers. Violet has survived dangerous situations before, but she quickly discovers that protecting those closest to her is far more difficult than protecting herself.

"I won't tell anyone, Echo. I promise." Noah tucked a curl behind my ear. It had been so long since someone touched me like he did. Why did it have to be Noah Hutchins? His dark brown eyes shifted to my covered arms. "You didn't do that-did you? It was done to you?" No one ever asked that question. They stared. They whispered. They laughed. But they never asked.
So wrong for each other…and yet so right.
No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal. But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible. Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.
The next book, Dare You To will be released June 7th by HarlequinTEEN – add it on Goodreads NOW!
*Pushy* Can we just say everything? Because seriously, what didn't I love about this book! It turned me into a sobbing watery mess on my very crowded plane ride home from BEA last year, and I didn't even care how freaked out the guy sitting next to me was! I was crying and laughing and just turned into an absolute fool for Noah and Echo!
*Heather* You're not kidding about the crying! I hardly ever cry with books unless a little kid dies, but this one had my cold, dark heart thawing out and my dry eyes squirting a few tears while I hid trying to get in some more time to read it.
*Danny* Gosh I remember how this book affected me. I was so sucked into Noah and Echo's story that all I could talk and think about was them! Oh and of course, I couldn't shut up about Pushing The Limits and told everyone that they HAD to read this book right now! So yes! We are big, huge and crazy fans!
Well let's get right down to it!
Any fan of YA knows angst goes a long way to propelling a plot forward and Pushing the Limits has this in spades. But it's not the drag-you-down-until-you-lack-the-will-to-live kind of angst. This is good, soul-searing, let's-get-cathartic-and-start-the-healing-up-in-here angst. And we ate it up!
Noah's friends are the glue that's holding him together and it's their fierce devotion to him, and his to them, that first gives us a window into his heart.
While the drama is intense, the characters are so realistic that everything they go through is brought home to the reader. Part of why each and every one of us was wrecked when we read this (did we mention we each cried a bit when we read this??) was that we each related so intensely to what Echo and Noah were going through. None of personally have shared their issues but still we felt every slice to their hearts, every moment of anguish and every drop of desire to heal themselves. We bought in big time and we was rewarded with such a fantastic story!
Okay seriously…there is nothing that's going to get us excited about a book more than when an author can bring the romance in big time. And Katie McGarry delivers the goods! From the smoldering looks Noah and Echo share, to the giddy first brush of their lips (*Bookworms enter swoon-mode*), Katie McGarry's skills in portraying the hot, messy, lovely romance these two characters share is unparalleled!
Really what we love about both Noah and Echo was how real they felt to us. They way Katie McGarry fleshed these kids out, the way she brought them so viscerally to life, just blew us away. They are real. We still think about them sometimes as if they're our friends. And yes, we're aware just how weird that is, but there you have it. These characters will get their hooks into you and you'll never want them to leave!
So, as you can see, we clearly ADORED this book!!!!
If you need more convincing, check out our review here.
Enter to win one and you'll also be entered to win the supremely romantic grand prize give-away via the widget below!
(*Pushy* I will TOTALLY be wearing this as I stalk Noah. Shh…don't tell Echo…..What? Too creepy? *sigh*)

Good luck and enjoy!!!!

Parallel (Travelers #1) Goodreads, Amazon, B&N
Destiny has a way of catching up.
Saddled with powers she doesn't understand, Etta Fleming's world is turned upside-down the day she meets Cooper Everett, the man who transports her to an alternate reality. A reality she was meant to be a part of.
One minute, she's an orphan living at Dominion House for Girls, an institution for delinquent foster kids, then finds herself attending the exclusive Dominion Hall Academy.
Plucked from the only world she's ever known, Etta now has to deal with an aunt she never knew, a boyfriend she doesn't know, and a best friend who can't know.
Memorable Quotes:
"You know what your problem is?"
"I didn't take time to eat my Wheaties?"
"…every time a choice is made, we end up playing out a different scene – like a choose your own adventure book."
Everything is predestined.
Etta is slowly readjusting to life in her new reality, while still recovering from the shock over the news regarding her relationship with Cooper.
While learning more about her role as leader of the Council, she soon discovers that her future is linked to the five extraordinary individuals she must recruit in order to ensure her destiny.
Nothing is as it seems, as rivals become allies and friends become the enemy.
Memorable Quotes:
"How does one deal with the harsh reality that the man you want to be with is already taken – by your future self."
"Don't ever settle for what you think is going to happen. Take life as it comes and don't prepare too much for what might be. Live for the moment."
Take hold of your destiny.
Etta Fleming doesn't know she was meant to return to her true reality four years ago. After years of being the "orphan girl" in the alternate world she grew up in, she's finally carved a niche for herself with a great job, a steady boyfriend, and a best friend by her side.
Undeterred by the shift in the timeline, it is up to Cooper Everett and his friends to convince Etta that she is still destined to become their leader, fighting against their post-apocalyptic future.
Will meeting the ghosts of her past convince Etta that she's part of a grander destiny? Or will her past, present, and future worlds collide?
Memorable Quotes:
"Lunch. My favorite period of the day at Alexandria High. It's almost like an all-human version of the San Diego Zoo: the nerds, the jocks, even the goths, all roaming around in their natural habitat in the cinderblock cage that was also known as the school cafeteria."
"Because life isn't a John Hughes movie. And even if it were, we'd be cast as one of the social misfits in The Breakfast Club…"

Continuing on with our Weekdays of Future Past series on the new X-Men film, today we take a closer look at the historical alterations director Bryan Singer and screenwriter Simon Kinberg brought to their newest (and most ambitious) entry in the X-Men franchise.
Continuing on with our Weekdays of Future Past series on the new X-Men film, today we take a closer look at the historical alterations director Bryan Singer and screenwriter Simon Kinberg brought to their newest (and most ambitious) entry in the X-Men franchise.
X-Men: Days of Future Past intended to bridge the gap between Fox's two generations of mutants, and even more connections between historical events and the emergence of mutants were made both in the film and the marketing leading up to its release. The extremely well done marketing strategy blended the real world with the fictional universe of the X-Men – one that ultimately re-writes history. Everything from the missing Watergate minutes, the assassination of J.F.K. to the Paris Peace Accord near the end of the Vietnam war.
Kinberge said recently how the decision was made on what historical events they would have the narrative revolve around:
"When I first started working on the script, Matthew Vaughn was going to direct the movie who did X-Men: First Class, and one of the things he really wanted to do was explore different time periods, because he felt he'd already done the '60s with First Class. We didn't want the events to take place right after, but see what had happened to these characters ten years down the road; see the real repercussions of the events of First Class. And 1973 appealed to me because I was born that year, but more because it was a flashpoint for a lot of different things—the end of the Vietnam War and the beginning of Watergate. Then, I started looking at the events of '73 and I saw the Paris Peace Accords, and thought that would be a great backdrop because the film is really about war and peace, so it felt thematically rich and potentially visually rich."
The movie bends, modifies, and assimilates many real life historical events into a trippy, humorously clever and often exciting narrative. Singer and Kinberg create some of the most interesting set-ups and historical weight of any comic-book movie. Let's take a look at how the film presented some of the big spins on history.
J.F.K. Assassination
Marketing for DoFP began back in November 2013 with a video and website explaining the premise by which the mutants were involved around the conspiracy of Kennedy's assassination. This marketing and advertising was not limited to pre-release hype as this historical spin on real-life events found their way into Singer's film and for anyone who saw the movie, you now know that Magneto was very involved with that infamous day in Dallas of November 1963. Through the film's viral marketing, we had already learned about Magneto's involvement in the J.F.K. assassination as detailed in "The Bent Bullet" video, which integrated an explanation for the fabled second shooter.
As the film progresses, we learn that Magneto was trying to save Kennedy as the president was in fact, a mutant. One that would be beneficial to a race seeking equality and acceptance. The film frames Kennedy as more of a saint-like figure. Remember the beginning of X2: X-Men United? Nightcrawler standing just below the presidential portrait of Kennedy in the White House draws immediate comparison. Obviously Singer and his team believed Kennedy to be a more compassionate figure; an individual compassionate to the tribulations of the mutant population.
Nixon on the other-hand, represents what Nixon usually does in movies… retaliation, paranoia and deceit. Nixon was the epitome of paranoia in film during the '70s. Surely not the compassionate mutant-lover that Kennedy would have been. Where Kennedy was a mutant, Nixon is the polar opposite, a naive human; one Magneto would assassinate in broad daylight rather than save.
Nixon and the Missing Watergate Minutes
A good portion of the new film takes place during the Nixon administration of the 1970s; in particular, during the end of the Vietnam war. These quintessentially stereotypical scenes are filled with an over over-the-top evocation of the time. Singer and his production team are reveling in their ability to meld history and fantasy into something resembling both without crossing the line; always keeping it relatively light hearted but not childish. It's at once a humorous jaunt as well as an accurate representation of Nixon's time in office; one in which the White House was filled with deviousness and paranoia.
In lieu of ending the Vietnam war, Nixon initiates the Sentinel project in order to combat the "Mutant Problem". Peter Dinklage's Bolivar Trask compares this new mutant threat as the new homo sapiens (mutants) wiping out the neanderthals (us normies). A problem that would bring us, as a species, together in opposition of a global threat instead of a "…border skirmish half-way around the world". Trask convinces Nixon to initiate his Sentinels in a televised national demonstration which, of course, does not go as planned. It is during this meeting in the White House that Nixon orders a stop on all recording devices in the oval office; thus explaining the missing 8 1/2 minutes of the infamous Watergate tapes.
Is it silly? Yes. Is it affective? Hell, yes. It all makes sense now, he was just talking about Magneto, Mystique and initiating the use of giant mutant-killing robots.
Paris Peace Accord
Setting the film in 1973 allowed Singer and his creative team to incorporate an iconic and conflicted time not just in American history but of the world abroad. The sequence set during the Paris Peace Summit is really where the film takes its dramatic turn and throws the rest of the narrative into perspective. Mystique is looking to assassinate Trask by disguising herself as a Vietnamese commanding officer. Magneto ultimately decides mutants would be better protected without Mystique in the picture. During this attempt, Mystique, Magneto and Beast expose themselves in full-force to protesting bystanders (equipped with state-of-the-art 8mm cameras) and the world gets its first glimpse at mutants in action.
The production design of the movie should be heralded. Going from a dystopian future set in China to discotheques, and the Jungles of Vietnam, the production is hands-down the best in the franchise thus far. Interesting enough was also Singer's choice to incorporate film footage shot by pedestrians. The aesthetic resembles that of Kennedy's assassination video (known as the Zapruder Film) or Nixon's resignation as he flew away on a helicopter. When seeing Mystique in grainy color film-stock, one is reminded of how important television became in the '70s.
The altercations to history are fascinating to watch in this sequence. Much of the setting is recreated accurately from period photos and stock footage all the while infusing the frame with mutants to give the entire film a historical spin unique to this film.
1973 and Beyond
Many of the 25 moments that are featured in this clever marketing website give us a glimpse into the future of many familiar mutants and how they interrupted or shifted historical events as we know it. In 1977, Quicksilver is involved in a scandal after he breaks eight track and field world records, forcing officials to enact genetic testing to determine whether or not athletes exhibit the mutant gene. In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear facility meltdown causes mutations in the surrounding population to begin showcasing mutations much earlier (Colossus). South Africa ending apartheid in 1991 incorporates Storm and so on.
From there, it's explained that mutants took part in the Zapatista Rebellion in Mexico, and it's implied that Mystique was involved as a rebel soldier. In 1996, the outbreak of Mad Cow Disease is linked with Trask Industries' first failed attempt at creating a cure for the mutant gene. And in 2001, Guantanamo Bay is expanded to house mutants considered a danger to national security. The video even goes into the years that would have taken place after X-Men 3: The Last Stand with Trask Industries taking over Xavier's school and subsequently starting mutant internment camps.
All together, X-Men: Days of Future Past's marketing and more importantly, the final film was a successful fusion of the real world and mutant narrative. Done in similar fashion as Zack Snyder's Watchmen, this is a film that at once strives for realism yet is always aware of its entertainment appeal. Singer took all his experience directing, writing and producing much of this franchise and lifted what Matthew Vaughn struggled to do; to deliver a complete package all the while making it look easy. DoFP delivers familiar characters with a period setting. We've seen these people all before; Magneto and Nixon become equally recognizable and heightened characters. Their image is a part of pop-culture and all of it is on display. "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" playing multiple times throughout the movie is a fitting choice.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is in theaters now. Stay tuned as we continue our Weekdays Of Future Past series tomorrow.
