The Desiring-Image: Gilles Deleuze and Contemporary Queer Cinema ($30/pbk). By Nick Davis. Oxford University Press, 2013. The book that earned me tenure at Northwestern. Offers a new theoretical model of queer film, born from Gilles Deleuze's rarely-integrated notions of cinema and desire. Chapter-length readings of Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, Shortbus, The Watermelon Woman, Brother to Brother, Beau travail, and Velvet Goldmine, plus other films along the way! Written for a scholarly audience but hopefully interesting to anyone curious about recent cinema, ideas about desire, or LGBT aesthetics and politics. "Important and needed work...Deeply original." D.N. Rodowick, "Seductive in its intellect and humbling in its prose." Michele Aaron
Reading the Bromance: Homosocial Relationships in Film and Television ($32/pbk). Ed. Michael DeAngelis. Wayne State University Press, 2014. Academic pieces that dig into recent portraits in popular media, comic and dramatic, of intimacies between straight(ish) men. Includes the essay "'I Love You, Hombre': Y tu mamá también as Border-Crossing Bromance" by Nick Davis, as well as chapters on Superbad, Humpday, Jackass, The Wire, and other texts. Written for a mixed audience of scholars, students, and non-campus readers. Forthcoming in June 2014. "Remarkably sophisticated essays." Janet Staiger, "Essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary models of gender and sexuality." Harry Benshoff
Fifty Key American Films ($31/pbk). Ed. Sabine Haenni, John White. Routledge, 2009. Includes my essays on The Wild Party, The Incredibles, and Brokeback Mountain. Intended as both a newcomer's guide to the terrain and a series of short, exploratory essays about such influential works as The Birth of a Nation, His Girl Friday, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, Taxi Driver, Blade Runner, Daughters of the Dust, and Se7en.
The Cinema of Todd Haynes: All That Heaven Allows ($25/pbk). Ed. James Morrison. Wallflower Press, via Columbia University Press, 2007. Includes the essay "'The Invention of a People': Velvet Goldmine and the Unburying of Queer Desire" by Nick Davis, later expanded and revised in The Desiring-Image. More, too, on Poison, Safe, Far From Heaven, and Haynes's other films by Alexandra Juhasz, Marcia Landy, Todd McGowan, James Morrison, Anat Pick, and other scholars. "A collection as intellectually and emotionally generous as Haynes' films" Patricia White, Swarthmore College
Film Studies: The Basics ($23/pbk). By Amy Villarejo. Routledge, 2006, 2013. Award-winning film scholar and teacher Amy Villarejo finally gives us the quick, smart, reader-friendly guide to film vocabulary that every teacher, student, and movie enthusiast has been waiting for, as well as a one-stop primer in the past, present, and future of film production, exhibition, circulation, and theory. Great glossary, wide-ranging examples, and utterly unpretentious prose that remains rigorous in its analysis; the book commits itself at every turn to the artistry, politics, and accessibility of cinema.

My name is Allal el Alaoui .I am a chronicler and cinemagoer.My dream is to see the world united and everybody smiles again.I have written a project with the help of my colleagues and friends namely Razak , Mustapha Hayran , Essafi and Ahmed Bakkali.
My initiative tackles a noble goal that gathers two gigantic dreaming compagnies ,Hollywood and Bollywood, into a glittering and yet artistic night where the world enjoys a wonderful meeting between stars and super-stars , actors and actresses in order to serve global peace without referring to any geographical space nor any ethnic, religious and political status ,but instead this show or event relies on the mutual respect between people and dialog of cultures . I am in hopes some of your sponsors will be able to help me with my project. I was able to research your email and I’m excited to learn more about your help.I have interviewed Yash Shopra when he was in Marrakech( please google my name as Allal El Alaoui on Indian Cinema ) and i think he is a wonderful man.I want to project his movie Veer-Zaara because it is a movie about love , passion and peace this coming summer in Casablanca . This is a big project and i just wonder if one of your investors, sponsors could consider my idea seriously so as to make it successful,( Hollywood-Bollywood for the sake of peace .)

P.S : i have a financial plan ( DEVIS) Made by my production designer .it is ready to be emailed to you whenever necessary.
SNRT,Moroccan National Television is willing to give full assistance in covering the show via its TV cable and so is CCM, the National center of cinema . There are other fervent institutions in Morocco who are waiting for the time of the show to come in order to invest in this project.

As one film-loving blogger to another, I've tagged you for the current "8 Things" meme over at my blog here. Please "play" or "pass" as you see fit.
And Happy 4th of July!
are you ever coming back...? :(
Nick, are you ever returning to us?
@John T., and @Everybody: I dream of it, I really do! I'm still learning my new job and re-learning how to manage my responsibilities and still make time for this project... We're coming to a breakthrough soon, though, including a whole new section of the website. (The blog itself will keep growing less important compared to the site, I imagine, but it won't go away.)
Thanks for being kind enough to ask!
