At a fringe event in Manchester one member sought to bring some hope, boasting that Keele University Conservative Society now had its biggest membership in a decade. โ€œWe now have 11 members,โ€ he said.

Left my office to be confronted by this - surely a sign to go all in on Untitled Goose Studies and leave Film Studies behind?

Another term of teaching Transnational Action Cinema means another screening of Police Story 3 and Maggie Cheung throwing her shoe at Jackie Chan and using "your mum" as a comeback. The action is pretty good too

Hildegard Of Bingen Patricia Routledge
YouTube video by Santos y Milagros Oficial Hildegard Of Bingen Patricia Routledge

Youtube also appears to have the entire Hildegard docudrama, with Routledge as Hildegard von Bingen youtu.be/ue0yOfBgudg?... which I appreciate might be a bit niche but is worth a look if my memory serves

Such a simple bit of physical comedy, masterfully played every time. The shift in pronunciation of "dawgs" also a wonderful little class observation. An unmatched comic character

Just in case Elon's seal of un-approval isn't enough, believe me that Dead End is perfect Halloween viewing for kids and young people - especially (but not only) if they identify anywhere on the queer or neurodiverse spectrum

I also think I would struggle to get the level of funding required for Edmund Burke to be able to come and do a talk, although if they make allowances for remote talks I think Parker Brothers might have the answer

Feel a bit called out by Netflix putting a cheery "we think you'll love this ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘" on Birth/Rebirth along with the description "a pathologist... brings a child back from the dead with increasingly horrific consequences"

If you are not listening to this you are missing out on the adventures of a vegetarian edwardian railway detective read by a pre-sherlock Cumberbatch

Anyone else out there who teaches/researches games but is not, in fact, good at games? It's weird because I think I'm actually pretty "good" at films and prose, but my basic gaming competence is limited

So many of the half-baked AI implementations are happening in professional arenas that have been hollowed out by extraction and divestment. No journalist needs a writing aid unless theyโ€™re being paid too little to write too much, no teacher needs a commenting tool unless theyโ€™re overextended.
