Thrilled to get my copies of a book that has meant a lot to my coeditor (Kenneth Chan) and me these past two years. Published by @EdinburghUP, EAST ASIAN FILM REMAKES fills a big gap in cinema studies and features some truly innovative scholarship on the part of the contributors.

One of my favorite (accidental) things to do is to catch people mid-blink when pausing a video.

Jane Schoenbrun's I SAW THE TV GLOW is one of my favorite films of the year, rekindling memories of my most deeply felt fandom (binge-watching BUFFY episodes from beginning to end when I was in graduate school) but also bringing to light the darker side of cultural nostalgia.
