I’m thinking now’s a good time for a Criterion flash sale 🎥🎬📽️

I have a colleague who teaches it every year with her AP Lang classes. She’s a great teacher. (I loaned her your book, too, but she hasn’t gotten to it yet.)

Noir City is coming to Oakland in January, so I’ll make up for it!

Another one for my list - thanks!

Oooh. I’ve never seen that. It’s going on my list.

The Stanford Theater in Palo Alto is playing The Wind on 11/22, but I have a family fete that day. Alas…

Just wait till I throw Sunrise on them!

“As it stands.”

Barbaric or otherwise, I accept said Yawp!

Hell yes to this.

The first poem I teach to my American Lit classes is Uncle Walt’s “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer.” After we work on it, they homework is to go” out into thethe mystical moist night air.”

Rashomon is #3 on my all time list. Hope you do get to see it on the screen soon!

Oh my god. Yes, a thousand times yes.

Hell, you can do much of Annie’s discography as Ophelia - Strange Mercy, All Born Screaming, Just the Same But Brand New…

Death at a Funeral, only because Rashomon is nighttime fare

The last four movies I have watched, all by Charles Chaplin: The Kid, The Tramp, Dough and Dynamite, Kid Auto Races Venice Ca.

Oh, I’ve always liked it. Don Siegel was in fine mid-70s form with that one.

“Box the compass.”

They’re learning to appreciate this classic stuff. It’s really cool.

Hi! They really enjoyed Never Weaken. Those who saw Safety Last (it was an optional film to see) liked it a lot, too. One student went to see The Gold Rush on the screen and really enjoyed it.

We’ve got more Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, some German Expressionism, & Potemkin for the next couple of weeks

That is an *awful* start to *anyone’s* week. Sorry to hear that.

Age yourself with a film you saw in a cinema as a kid

Thank you for posting all of these tonight. I’ll be screening Never Weaken and Safety Last to my high school Film class in the next couple of days.

Grrrr.
