a horror movie about making a horror movie. wait, don't walk away. a horror movie about one of those grueling seventies productions that broke every OSHA rule—long, exhausting shoots in the middle of the woods, presided over by one of those directors convinced of his own genius and certain the only way to get the performances he needs is to relentlessly isolate and gaslight his female lead. the crew are terrified of the director's outbursts and so are going along with it. there's one other woman in the cast but she plays the one who takes her shirt off earlier in the film and then dies, and the director has done everything in his power to turn these two people against each other, the better to keep his female lead unbalanced and unsure, and when the deeply disquieting scary stuff starts happening for real, the female lead has nobody to confide in and assumes it is the director very characteristically going out of his way to fuck with her. one of the camera operators gets possessed and is being flung around the trees, head spinning as he oozes an acidic black liquid and the female lead is like, "i can't let fucking jerry think he's getting to me." and then—this may be too much, idk—the only way the two actresses can figure out what's really going on is to acknowledge that they've been pitted against each other and that they really don't have any reason beyond this not to trust each other, so they compare notes and that's how they discover that hey, this production actually is cursed.

Jaques Derrida book titles ranked by how good of a band name they'd be

Specters of Marx – Are you shitting me? It's a lock. If you form a band and call it this I will design all your merch for free.

Archive Fever – If I could sing/write music/play an instrument this would be my band's name and we'd be a krautrock-inspired open ended performance collective and you'd hate our guts

Limited Inc – Sort of an 80s-90s vibe to this one but also has some star power. Like, shit, I'd buy their t-shirt.

The Animal That Therefore I Am – Perfect for like a female-fronted shoegaze project or something

Spurs – A good hardcore band name

Force de Loi – I get "Portland-based aughties indie sleaze with a cult following" vibes from this

Of Grammatology – Ranked lower because I think this is one where you can't get away with calling your band this unless you actually enjoy Derrida and have read his writing extensively, since Of Grammatology is arguably his best known work

Différance – See above, also unless you're in France get ready for people to mispronounce the shit out of your band name

Acts of Religion – Goth rock/glam metal vibes for this one I think

Margins of Philosophy/Right to Philosophy – A tie between these two as they're very similar. I think they're also kind of 80s-90s flavored and a little clunky, but if the music was really good, I'd be down for it

Of Spirit – Post-hardcore or emo band but in the Rites of Spring vein would be perfect for this

The Truth in Painting – I think this sounds potentially cool as some kind of moody early 2000s prog or noise project, once again if the music was good I'd be into it

The Gift of Death – Sounds cool but I can't imagine this as anything other than an overly macho black metal effort which is not my speed

Theory & Practice – Your band would have to make REALLY good music for this not to be annoying unless you were some kind of hot PhD student making beats alone in her room

The Politics of Friendship – The most annoying people from your college GSA have a "punk" band and it's this
