My publisher @intellectbooks.bsky.social must know some terrible info about the state of the world as they have brought my book Post-Catastrophe Film: Cinematic Visions in the Aftermath of Disaster forward to May 4th (may not the reason).

All of the points that define Trump's fascism in this article have been prominent throughout his first and second term. It was and has always has been fascism. Good for The Atlantic for calling it, but, it could have been called years ago.

Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carny's speech at the WEF is getting a lot of attention. And rightly so. It is measured, pragmatic, and realistic. It's not good news. Liberalism is over. Maybe always a lie. I guess this marks (Mark's) the real 'end of history.'

Interesting. My 2016 book on Dennis Hopper which was published by Amsterdam Uni Press is now, after an acquisition last year which I didn't hear about, published by Routledge. Its's cool. It means both Hopper books are now under the same umbrella. Like having two albums out on the same label.

@leverpress.bsky.social is publishing a second edition of my 2021 book Screen Captures: Film in the Age of Emergency in March 2026.

Which emergency? All of them.

Excited to see this in print (again) and available as Open Access.

@mickpuck.bsky.social I've heard you talk about visiting the Royal Academy to see the Dennis Hopper exhibition in 2014. Did you get a poster?

I did my anxiety about impending war and nuclear conflict no favors by watching Miracle Mile last night. The tone shift was remarkable and the familiar faces of numerous character actors of the era was somehow reassuring.

This 2017 Illustration by artist Hazel Lai demonstrates Trump's current delusional mindset of dismantling/destroying the USA and the rest of the world.

This is the closest I've seen Trump come to Blue Velvet's Frank Booth. I always knew it was there. Little flashes. But here a full 9 seconds.
