Been casually reading Barbara Klinger’s IMMORTAL FILMS on the afterlives of Casablanca and virality of this from @biscuitkitten.bsky.social
proves her point.

Micro—and extremely niche—pleasure: finding out I’m eligible for small increments of money because I paid online ticket processing fees at Film Forum and Film @ Lincoln Center. Got like $6 from Lincoln Center; $4.16 allegedly coming from Film Forum. Class action lawsuits, baby! 🎉

Fun assignment in Film History I’m going to try next week with the Hays/Motion Picture Production Code. Pick a recent media artifact you enjoy that definitely wouldn’t pass the Code and then outline some strategies you’d use to remake the work to earn the seal of approval.

A sea change in the information ecosystem, and we're already well into it.

My most optimistic opinion is that the combination of cheap AI-generated fake news and major legacy news orgs taking a torch to their reputations is going to create huge opportunities for independent journalists who maintain a reputation for honest, ethical reporting.

it's hard to talk about this without sounding braggy but you can get pretty far as a business with sincerity and trust, mostly because so many goddamn businesses burn up that kind of intangible resource as soon as they get it, and everything is so dire right now that people are hungry for trust

Love this description of documentarian Leo Hurwitz:

"He is called the dean of the cinematic left. He is 73, with silver hair swept back and hand-rolled cigarette in hand, + class is still in session.” (WashPo, May 24, 1983)

Majority of Hurwitz’s work is available @ leohurwitz.com

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

America is now one big bet on AI

It’s seen as the magic fix for every threat to the US economy

Re-reading to refresh for my Film History class. I am pleased to announce that Thomas Schatz’s GENIUS OF THE SYSTEM still slaps.

As Higher Education editor at @publicbooks.bsky.social, I asked experts—thinkers, scholars, teachers, organizers—for short essays outlining one positive change we can work towards in higher ed, no matter who occupies the White House. Our roundtable series begins publishing today. My intro here:

Toward the Next American University: A Roundtable Discussion on the Future of Higher Ed - Public Books

The path higher education was on before Trump’s reelection was neither certain nor stable. There is not much to go back to now.

VISTAVISION is back, baby!! @smithsonianmag.bsky.social

www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture...

Why Are Some of the World’s Best Directors Reviving This Special Film Format Created in the 1950s?

Paul Thomas Anderson utilized VistaVision to make his latest movie, “One Battle After Another,” which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a bumbling, washed-up revolutionary trying to save his daughter

My predecessor left me loads of books and journals and I’m loving these cover designs

Cover is blue though the text is black. Love a good scantron! I think schools should return to them for course evals — much higher response rate!

Tanya Goldman @tanyagoldman.bsky.social · 5d

Yeaaaaa I’m going to see how this plays out this semester and go from there

Tanya Goldman @tanyagoldman.bsky.social · 5d

I had no idea!

Tanya Goldman @tanyagoldman.bsky.social · 5d

I’ve thought about it and it is certainly a possibility 👎 We’ll see what happens. First time I’m trying it.

Tanya Goldman @tanyagoldman.bsky.social · 5d

Have you been using them all along?!

Tanya Goldman @tanyagoldman.bsky.social · 5d

Yes, anytime I have students do in-class work I bring a bag of pens!

Tanya Goldman @tanyagoldman.bsky.social · 5d

Bringing back the Blue Book!

Distributed thematic essay questions in advance and students are allowed to bring a small number of notes. Let’s see how this goes next week.
