Anderson or Margulies would have the heft, not the others. But Billy Wilder always said, don't try to remake the classics, remake crappy movies and make them better. "Kiss Me, Stupid" - now there's a remake for the era of celebrity culture. George Clooney as Dino.

Amazing how easily Bourdieu's work on financial, social and cultural capital can be explained to students steeped in the Epstein files.

Most of my students are women, hence the different reception of The Graduate, perhaps.
I've never tried B&C of the Big Three, because of the violence. Nuclear annihilation seems less visceral 🫠

He he. This generation of students seems to dislike the film, from my experience teaching it. Too much Benjamin, not enough Elaine. Have you had a better response?

For the US in the 60s week in American Cinema, I'm going back to Dr. Strangelove, for obvious reasons.

Son: What was your plan?
Father: What are you talking about?
Son: Before, you said you had a plan.
Father: Ki-woo, you know what kind of plan never fails?
No plan at all.

Before the vaccine, parents often deliberately exposed girls to rubella so they wouldn’t get it as adults, for fear of the potential birth defects. Get the vaccine!

The work inspired the production of Victory at Sea by one of Morrison's assistants, a documentary TV series on the Pacific sea battles, which became the most-screened series on American television for a decade or more.

The Democrats should counter that if Trump DOESN'T approve the infrastructure funding, they're going to rename the NYC dump, and all other city dumps, "The Trump Dump." Trash the brand.

If Denmark had ponied up a couple of hundred million to Trump before Inauguration, Greenland would be safe.

Just as some federal judges no longer give govt lawyers benefit of doubt previously given to their factual recitations in briefs, media outlets should no longer give Admin speakers first quotes when other evidence is available. First say what the video or witnesses say, then display Admin response.

Standard journalistic practice is to foreground official govt accounts of violence; we're seeing this in stories about today's execution in Minneapolis. This allows the psychpathic liars of the Trump admin to frame the story, even when video accompanying the article contradicts what they say. 1 of 2

As Trump says the US can attack and govern any and all countries in our Great Power Sphere of Influence, has anybody told him they are full of Latina people?

And NASA's success in getting to the moon also had contributions from foreign born rocket engineers, from...ahem, Germany, after, uh, World War Two. Embarrassing, outrageous, but also true.

Re the reaction to the vile Trump post on Rob Reiner, even among some Republicans: The Princess Bride was a key film for many Gen Xers - the first film many of them loved as kids. They passed on that love to their Gen Z kids. Trashing a childhood idol-creator hits on a very emotional level.
