Today we welcomed our new first-year students with a scavenger hunt around campus. For bonus points, they were asked to recreate some famous film moments or posters. Can you guess what they are?

Haven’t seen a single correct ranking of all the Paul Thomas Anderson movies, so here is the actual right order.

I was initially indifferent towards it but it slowly turned into something unexpected and now it’s over I really want more. Colman Domingo is a stand-out and it was wonderful to see Alan Alda in a cameo.

In a crazy but completely on-brand turn of events, I’ll be presenting at the 2025 World of Dylan conference in Tulsa, OK. My paper is titled - ‘Stare into the vacuum of his eyes’ - Looking at Bob Dylan and the reaction shot in A Complete Unknown.

Thrilled to be accepted and explore the archives!

Mid 00s was a great time for weird DVD cover art where they didn’t just copy the poster but cooked up something like this. Please show me your fave weird dvd art.
