Gus Van Sants film and the 90s cult of the alternative Gus Van Sants 1991 indie darling My Own Private Idaho perplexed and provoked, inspiring a new ethos for a new decade: being different was better than being good.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Secret Providence & Newport is a new travel book that reveals the best-kept secrets of two cities steeped in American history. Providences consuming passion is food. One of the most prestigious training grounds for American chefs Johnson and Wales is in Downcity (Providence's term for downtown). After a succulent dinner at one of the citys charming little restaurants, visit the garden where Edgar Allan Poe courted and won the heart of Sarah Whitman, or find hidden places to have a picnic and enjoy the flowers. Newports past and present are quite different from those of Providence. A great colonial seaport, it was a major stop on the northern tip of the deadly but profitable Triangle Trade. During the Revolution, the city was occupied by the British, who left a set of vaulted brick barracks that most Newporters dont even know exist. But for all its fascinating colonial history, Newport carved its niche as the summer home of Gilded Age society. Few people have seen the views from the rooftop of a Bellevue Avenue palace but you might be able to with the help of this guide. Secret Providence/Newport is one of a unique series of in-depth guidebooks that take you off the tired track of mainstream tourism. This guide is a gem for anyone eager to discover the unconventional.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Proximity Paradox will show you how to step back from your business to focus your creativity and meet your clients needs Innovative Its a much-needed perspective on how to escape inside-the-box thinking. Publishers Weekly Traditional business structures love stability and predictability. Yet many organizations believe the two essential ingredients for long-term success are creativity and innovation. Kiirsten May and Alex Varricchio, founders of the marketing agency UpHouse, call the relationship between these two opposing expectations the Proximity Paradox the belief that those who are closest to a subject are best qualified to innovate for it when, in reality, intense proximity limits creativity. Instead, people need to create distance from challenges in order to see the best way forward. May and Varricchio believe that until we can separate innovation and execution within ourselves, we will only innovate to the level at which we can execute the idea. To be effective, we need to create distance between our innovation brain and our execution brain. Unpacking ten common examples of the Proximity Paradox that affect a companys people, processes, and industry, the authors share some practical ideas to create the distance necessary for your next great idea. An especially valuable book for creatives, and non-creatives in creative industries, but equally applicable to all businesses that depend on innovation, The Proximity Paradox encourages us to ask hard questions about how we work, how our businesses are structured, and why we routinely find our creativity at odds with whats asked of us as executors and stewards of the bottom line. A revolutionary look at creativity, innovation, and how we structure businesses. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A wild, intimate, and political deep dive into Jim Hensons 1986 classic starring David Bowie and its cast of lovable, gender-defying goblins.In the 40 years since Labyrinths release, Jim Hensons cult classic starring a menagerie of goblin puppets, the conversation about it has only grown louder. Fans are still holding viewing parties and masquerade balls, and creating memes inspired by David Bowies sardonic and sexy goblin king, numerous Etsy crafts, and even a Japanese video game. But what makes the film so enduring, beyond its technical mastery and clever script, is how it presents childhood as something dangerous, heroic, and even queer. It's Only Forever explores Labyrinth as an 80s time capsule that both reflects and challenges its era, offering its young audience an alternative to conservatism and soulless economics, at a time when U.S. president Ronald Reagan ignored the HIV/AIDS crisis, pushing queerness further into the shadows. As Sarah, played by a teenaged Jennifer Connelly, faces down the king and his destructive whims, she exclaims, You have no power over me, and in that moment she is everyone who has ever felt marginalized, who has instead turned to the goblins over social and political toxicity every single time. From the costuming to the twisting plot, this classic example of 1980s fantasy shows us that the magic and comfort of childhood never need to be discarded as we are forced to enter a world that may very well seek to destroy us. Instead, Labyrinth reveals a universal and beautiful truth: that our strength comes from what we have always known ourselves to be beastly, loving, and wildly joyful.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Ugh As If! uncovers the complex layers beneath the glossy surface of the 1995 classic film Clueless. Litt investigates not just the Austen satire but the films deeper ethical questions about femininity, innocence, bias, and inequity. Litts lively, original Ugh! As If! uses the brilliant teen movie Clueless as a lens to examine the broader cultural landscape with playfulness and depth. Emily Nussbaum, Pulitzer Prize winner, author of Cue the Sun! We are majorly, totally, butt-crazy in love with Clueless. In Ugh! As If!, Veronica Litt argues that this seemingly fluffy teen romp is the quintessential thinking womans movie, one in which audiences are asked to seriously consider the beauty and power of femininity and naivete. Cher Horowitz, our wealthy, gorgeous, and frequently hapless protagonist, embodies the kind of privilege that no one expects to find endearing. Yet her gradual pivot from oblivious it girl to burgeoning activist is a powerful reminder that even the most unlikely people can change for the better and contribute to their communities. In this bright, shiny film, pursuing a more just society isnt just possible its enjoyable. This fun, unabashedly girly movie is a counter-narrative to 90s-era nihilism, a sunny refusal to give in to cynicism, hopelessness, and passivity. Almost without viewers noticing, Clueless teaches Cher, and us, how to become better. Like the film it examines, Ugh! As If! nudges even the most jaded viewer into feeling hopeful about the future.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A smart and incisive exploration of everyones favorite dinosaur movie and the female dinosaurs who embody what it means to be angry, monstrous, and free The Jurassic Park series is one of the most famous and profitable cinematic experiences of all time, with an entire generation of people who have never known life without these CGI dinosaurs. But while the movie spectacle broke film and merchandising records, pioneered special effects, and made Jeff Goldblum into an unlikely sex symbol, it has also been re-envisioned as a classic of queer feminist storytelling. In Clever Girl, Hannah McGregor argues that the female-only dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are stand-ins for monstrous women, engineered by men to be intelligent, violent, and adaptive, and whose chaos resists the systems designed to control them. As they run wild through their prison, a profit-driven theme park, they destroy the men and structures who mistakenly believed in their own colonialist and capitalist power, showing the audience what it means to be angry, monstrous, and free. The velociraptors were not just jump scares for children, but also revelatory and predatory symbols of feminist rage. Clever girls, indeed. About the Pop Classics Series Short books that pack a big punch, Pop Classics offer intelligent, fun, and accessible arguments about why a particular pop phenomenon matters. Clever Girl by Hannah McGregor examines the most famous of dinosaur movies, Jurassic Park, and its treatment of the film's all-female dinosaur population, their connection to the fear of female monstrosity, and how they loom as figures of chaotic otherness.
