Morvern Callar is my favorite Christmas movie.

It’s not really the students’ faults. Blame the administrators who use evaluation “metrics” to justify their outsized salaries with boards while putting a boot on the throats of faculty (and not even their own boot).

I’ve heard he was 6’ 6” and at the time standard doorways were only 6’ 4”. Which is why….

I couldn’t get through Separate Tables a couple years back. Haven’t seen I Want To Live. Mame and Cat are still fun.

Some Came Running is one of my favorites of all time. (One of 2 16mm prints I own.)

Hyygelarious!

Team Woodpecker.

Support your local arthouse cinemas, folks--home of critical thinking, free expression, and public engagement since 1894.

Must be all those Northern Californians who moved to Austin in 2020. Native Texans aren't know for their love of warm tiramisu. Or llamas.
