  1. Maurice Ravel drove a supply truck through the mud and horror of WWI—and years later, that experience found its way into one of the most hypnotic pieces of music ever written: Boléro.

    Pvt. Ravel's Boléro—now available!

    A 28-minute antiwar documentary & filmic poem on Maurice Ravel's WWI service and the making of Boléro.

    A unique experience. Festival-recognized.

  2. From direct-to-video fantasy to grimy Florida cryptid cinema, modern mermaid movies have evolved far beyond fairy tales, drifting into body horror, tonal chaos, historical incoherence, and surreal dark comedy.

  3. When style starts speaking louder than story, something gets lost. Both She Dances and Don't Make Me Go reach for emotional depth through formal tricks but end up undercutting the very connections they’re trying to build.

  4. Two micro-budget horror darlings, two very different problems. Resolution mistakes nihilism for profundity, pulling the rug out from under its own emotional core just to prove a point that isn’t nearly as clever as it thinks it is. Creep, on the other hand, stretches human behavior past the breaking point in service of a gimmick it never fully justifies.

  5. Two versions. One idea. A decade of evolution. Amber Alert (2012) was a chaotic found-footage experiment that mistook irritation for tension. Amber Alert (2024) trades that rawness for control—smoother, smarter, but also safer. Same premise. Different priorities.

  8. It's a year since my co-edited volume on #ToddHaynes came out from #DukeUnivPress, and it's time for their 50% off sale! So here is my shameless pitch for those of you who haven't got a copy yet. You get half off all your Duke books if you use coupon code SPRING23 through April 17.

    You can order from the US site (dukeupress.edu/reframing-todd-); if you're outside the US, from #CombinedAcademicPublishers (combinedacademic.co.uk/9781478).

    This book was a labor of love for the editors and contributors, so I hope it can reach its readers. Thanks all for buying, liking, supporting, reviewing, and boosting. :heart_cyber:
