I've found a reason to propose chapters on both Mulholland Drive AND Interview With the Vampire recently. Oh no, what a shame, I will have to rewatch them....

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.
