I swear I hear David Bowie on background vocals on this song. I know he was a big fan but the internet is emphatic it is not him. Wondering if anyone else hears it.

Just watched All We Imagine as Light on Criterion. What an amazing movie. I don’t think I’ve been this surprised by a film in a long, long time.

James Cana was a great actor. And Michael Mann a great director. Two things I did not think before rewatching this film.

I love the trope of the professor who is hard to find and requires a journey to share Thor wisdom. #nosferatu #filmsky

Having just rewatched Rope and Strangers on a Train, I’m fascinated with Farley Granger. Not sure there is s’more sinister actor in Hitchcock’s films. And fascinating life story.

Rewatching all the classic horror films, mostly Universal productions, and I think this is the best. Surprisingly strong female academic who apparently openly lives with her boyfriend. Besides being surprisingly progressive, it has great special effects.

The critical hype of this album is deserved. It is truly great, but I could do without the constant reminder of how cool she is. She is cool but enough. #MusicSky

According to Spotify my favorite genre is something I didn’t know existed but with which I’m now obsessed. And I don’t listen to either Fleetwood Mac nor the Stones, not that there is anything wrong with that.

A question for film lovers and scholars. I am an experienced scholar in Early Modern Studies but I am preparing my first film studies essay for publication and I’m curious about recommended journals. I’m not familiar with a lot of film scholarship outside of books and essay collections.

Must be near the end of the semester because today I dropped three F-bombs in class for no reason than emphasis. And we were discussing Dickens, which made it even less apropos.
