Herman Melville's tale of obsession on the high seas gets a feathery makeover in this adaptation that stars Donald, Scrooge McDuck, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie! When his ship is destroyed and his lucky dime stolen by the monstrous white whale Moby Dick, Captain Quackhab sets sail on a voyage of revenge against the fearsome leviathan. Joined by Ishmael, his first mate Mr. Storkbuck, and the island triplets, Huqueg, Duqueg, and Luqueg, and his crew of ne'er-do-wells, Quackhab won't rest until he gets his prize. But whales aren't the only danger the seas have to offer. Our heroes must contend with giant squids, pirate crows, and mighty storms before even catching a sight of Moby Dick. And when they finally come face to face with the great white whale, will any of them make it back to land in one piece?

The ghost of a betrayed king appoints Prince Ducklet to restore peace to his kingdom in this adaptation of the classic tragic play by William Shakespeare. Huey, Dewey and Louie, along with Uncle Scrooge, head on a road trip to Denmark, passing by the famous landmark--the phantom castle of Ducksinore! The triplets recall the story of Ducklet, written by the celebrated playwright William Duckspeare. Scrooge's interest is piqued and the story of tragedy, betrayal, and corruption unfolds. Royal life will never be the same for Prince Ducklet when he receives a visit from an apparition of his missing uncle, King Scrooge. The ghost-like figure of his uncle divulges an unsettling truth--that his place as king has been usurped by the conniving Rocklaudius, who now sits on the throne. Through a toxic magic potion used to subdue him, Scrooge has become both invisible and inaudible to everyone but Ducklet--leaving him with the duty of restoring peace to the throne and serving justice to those who have conspired against the King! But between Rocklaudius's henchmen, fresh on his tail, and the constant squabbling of his invisible uncle, will Ducklet restore peace to the castle or find himself another victim of this tragedy?

Post-Cinematic Affect is about what it feels like to live in the affluent West in the early 21st century. Specifically, it explores the structure of feeling that is emerging today in tandem with new digital technologies, together with economic globalization and the financialization of more and more human activities. The 20th century was the age of film and television; these dominant media shaped and reflected our cultural sensibilities. In the 21st century, new digital media help to shape and reflect new forms of sensibility. Movies (moving image and sound works) continue to be made, but they have adopted new formal strategies, they are viewed under massively changed conditions, and they address their spectators in different ways than was the case in the 20th century. The book traces these changes, focusing on four recent moving-image works: Nick Hooker's music video for Grace Jones' song Corporate Cannibal; Olivier Assayas' movie Boarding Gate, starring Asia Argento; Richard Kelly's movie Southland Tales, featuring Justin Timberlake, Dwayne Johnson, and other pop culture celebrities; and Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's Gamer.
