Stephen Volk about my upcoming book TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE: "I find it all witty and fascinating. I love the imagery you connect (like the trees) and I really like the fun you have with words and ideas. I think fans of Hitchcock and Lynch will have a ball". 🙂 #DavidLynch #AlfredHitchcock

Excellent anthology! 👍

William Boyle @wmboyle4.bsky.social · 5d

Out now! I have a new story in this anthology called “Arlene.” Think a mix of VERTIGO, PSYCHO, and REAR WINDOW in late ’80s southern Brooklyn. I hope you’ll pick it up! titanbooks.com/72625-birds-...

I wonder why fans and critics are so open to acknowledging that there might be hidden images in MIDSOMMAR but not in TWIN PEAKS? 🤔 @harleypeyton.bsky.social @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

No problem 🙂

If you can read French, and if the subject interests you, I can send you an (unpublished) article I wrote on the subject? (no pressure, I know you're super busy)

No one seems to believe me when I'm writing about the various superimpositions I see in Twin Peaks and other works, but it seems I'm not the only one after all to claim they exist!

Thank you! I've tried to publish an article on the subject, but so far wasn't successful in finding a magazine interested. I'm including several examples in my upcoming book...

Franck Boulègue @franckboulegue.bsky.social · 8d

Do you know if someone has written about this use of superimpositions in MIDSOMMAR? This would help me back up my claims concerning Twin Peaks and other works!

Franck Boulègue @franckboulegue.bsky.social · 8d

For instance, here's something I've found in Fire Walk with Me

Franck Boulègue @franckboulegue.bsky.social · 8d

Oh, I see -- wonderful! I've written a lot about such superimpostions in Twin Peaks, but no one so far seems to take my research very seriously (pareidolia is a word that comes a lot back to me). I'm probably wrong about those 90% of the time, but I do think that at least a few have been included.

I'm actually convinced that Lynch played a lot with this in Twin Peaks: The Return 🙂 unwrappingtheplastic.com/2017/07/27/f...

Faces of trees

Ever since I viewed the first episode of the new season of Twin Peaks, there has been something about the opening credits that struck me as strange. Something felt off when the camera was flying ab…

I actually don't remember seeing superimpositions in the film, I definitely need to rewatch it!

Franck Boulègue @franckboulegue.bsky.social · 8d

The second image is definitely my own, yes -- just something I did to illustrate what I'm possibly seeing. I'm probably hallucinating this, but I also like the idea of artists hiding images in plain sight, with clever, almost subliminal superimpositions.

Franck Boulègue @franckboulegue.bsky.social · 8d

I meant it more as something done in postproduction, superimposing an image on top of the one from the wall 🙂

Franck Boulègue @franckboulegue.bsky.social · 8d

Is it just my imagination, or is there something superimposed there? 🤔 @antbit.projectedfigures.com (I don't know if that's exactly it, but it feels like one can see the shape of the baby's head on the wall... or not?)

I edited this short "dance" film in 2016, before Ukraine and Gaza, but it feels somehow more relevant today than then... 🙁 numeridanse.com/publication/...
