Looking for suggestions: I was going to show *Hero* (2022, S. Korea) for a class session on musicals, powerful affect, and national(ist) narrative, but my DVD order is delayed. Any suggestions for alternates? Could be a film from anywhere. Must be a musical.

Wow I just watched Kpop Demon Hunters with a bunch of college juniors and seniors and…they were not only blah, but they also know less about it than I do. Do I just have very specific students who are incredibly sheltered from the reaches of the honmoon??

Looking for readings on how a color cathode-ray tube works--specifically what kind of color it could produce compared to color film projection and printed pigment. Any suggestions from film or TV scholars? #filmsky

Female 007 from 1964 Taiwanese spy film. She was the “top spy” and much more competent than the guy in the suit who thought he was carrying out the mission.

I used a Taiyupian to talk about the aesthetics of shot composition yesterday. My students got it right away and found their own shots in two additional film sequences that I showed them.

A real research question from someone who truly does not know fashion terminology: is this outfit somehow associated with playing pool? And how would we refer to these arm covers?
Kudos to anyone who can guess who this gnome is!
