Exactly! But this is the internet, I guess folks have to find something to criticize.

For folks who might want something a little less classical, I can also recommend John Cassavetes' 'Shadows' for an interesting narrative on race and passing.

Maybe start by not calling someone 'honey' and announcing that you are doing the Lord's work by 'correcting' someone who is trying to articulate a complex issue? I don't like choking on condescension, myself-especially if the person then goes on to admit that they don't even know how to have a conversation about race.

Get some well-earned rest! Hope you had a good semester.

Fair enough. I appreciate the clarification, and the awkwardness of communicating on the internet. :)

Upvoted for being reasonable.

Chiming in to say I don't really understand the defensiveness here. The nice thing about the comments section here is that folks who feel as though they can contribute to the discussion do just that, so that the articles are a starting point rather than a declarative rhetoric.

My son had a cold all weekend, I got it on Monday, had to cancel my class on Tuesday, I have a really important postdoc application due on Friday and I feel horrendous.
WHY COULDN'T YOU WAIT TILL AFTER THE DEADLINE, STUPID COLD!!!!

I was lucky enough to see it screened at the Music Box in Chicago and wow, it is indeed fascinating. And infuriating-it really did change my opinion of Shirley Clarke. If you're into documentaries, or 60s NYC indie filmmaking, it's a must. I'm glad it's available.

I only like one of these things! Thus, this seems more accurate than the website ever did, since it has stuff like:
The World Cup
Moleskine Notebooks
Black Music that Black People don't Listen to Anymore
Breakfast Places
Film Festivals
The Sunday New York Times
My So-Called Life

As soon as the fight was set up, it seemed terribly obvious that there was NO way Korra would win, so the rest was inevitable humiliation. And I say this as someone who has been very invested in Korra's trauma and recovery. The Varrick plot was much more exciting.

Yay!
My students wrote great reviews of the Hitchcock films we're watching this semester-what kinds of films are you reviewing? What are you guys reading?
Honestly I've had so much fun with this unit of my course I'm thinking about teaching an entire semester of Film Criticism.

Yeah, it was one of the first movies I had taped on our VCR, and I watched it quite a few times-it has probably aged terribly, but I liked it at the time. It was creepy, but not scary, which is perfect for me.

Thanks!

Blocked in the good 'ol USA as well. THANKS FOX!

I thought they might try to figure out a way to have Katrina 'die', and then bring her back-like 'Flatliners'. Yes, I was a teenager in the 90s..

Is it also for professors who have been listening to 'My Name is My Name' in their office like a rebellious teenager and playing 'Blockbuster Night' repeatedly on their headphones walking over to their lectures for the last few weeks?

I thought the 'I'm disappointed' scene with Jack and Dre made a bit of an effort to talk through his behavior. I thought Dre might ask Jack why he was doing it, but the guilt trip seems to have worked. Credit to the boy playing Jack, he did seem to be thinking 'gee, mom was really freaking out, and that's not good'…

Yep, that's what we got. I can count on one hand the times this happened to both me and my sister-the ol' whoopin dance. Hairbrush in one hand, holding our wrist in the other. Once I came in when my sister was getting a whoopin (she hated having her hair brushed/combed) and it looked so ridiculous to see her running a…
