Okokokok. Need to get organized. It can’t all be 12 books at once. (Who am I kidding? It’s usually more like 54).

My immediate watchlist (in order):

🏔️ Raining in the Mountain
🛫 La Jetée
🇯🇵 Battles Without Honor and Humility
🤥 Pinocchio (2022)
🚣‍♀️ Céline and Julie Go Boating

Also, could Women Talking please be showing somewhere where I can see it? TU!

Ah, La Jetée. It’s dream logic is as deft as its execution. 💕

I’d forgotten how massively influential this photo novel was to my own filmmaking experiments back in the late 90’s. In the early naughts, I wrote (and with a friend, photographed) a photo novel of my own, complete with a unicorn (of a sort) and a werewolf (of a sort).

Post-production never happened. I was in law school, and then I was homeless and poor, and now I am shackled to a very hungry career. But the negatives exist; anything is possible.

All of the stories I tried to tell were queer and filled with trans longing, whether they were about human-sized puppets animated with the swappable souls of birds, or, in this case, the romance between an ugly unicorn and a lonely virgin.

(Well, queer or ribald musical comedies starring a mixed cast of humans, stuffed animals, and computer-animated sock puppets).

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
