My daughter is obsessed with this French New Wave children's book because she thinks the drawing of Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina is a drawing of "mama and dada."

Elkind and Carlos were also the ones pushing for Kubrick to use Elstree Studio's newly installed Dolby processors on all the film's pre-mixes. Most histories credit this decision to Kubrick, because he's Kubrick. But Kubrick was actually a stick-in-the-mud when it came to Dolby noise reduction.

A great example of how materialism is important to fandom, specifically fantasy materialism.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Results for our local school board race are trickling in and it looks like the anti-trans Republicans lost their seats.
I know school boards don't get the national attention, but they really matter. And Rs are getting hosed in all parts of Pennsylvania tonight.

This criticism of my article inadvertently makes my somewhat dry and obvious claims sound kinda badass.

There's that video somewhere (I'll find it eventually) where Taylor Swift jokes that "Hey Stephen" is really about Stephen King, and that The Dark Tower changed her life.
But her new era is all about orange doors, and friends I don't think she was kidding about The Dark Tower.

Listening to @andreapitzer.bsky.social's Nabokov study on Libby, and it's exceptional. I'm often skeptical of interpreting an author's work through the lens of their politics, and I'm guessing Pitzer is as well, which is what makes her book so impressive and relevant from start to finish.

Here's an excerpt from my book that discusses some of Morros's work on CARNEGIE HALL. Though the bulk of the stereo work was actually done by Reeves Sound Studios, which would later develop Cinerama's 7-track surround sound system.

Also... CALL HER SAVAGE. Clara Bow becomes a prostitute to pay for her baby's medical needs. Though the plot is more convoluted, iirc.
