I think I might have just been unconsciously repeating Kristin Thompson here, and even if I wasn't she puts it perfectly in this piece. www.davidbordwell.net/blog/2011/03...

This is not to say that all liberal-arts academics in other fields are ignorant of film and its history. On the contrary, we have friends who certainly know as much about the subject as we do about any other art form. But on the whole, in-depth knowledge of film is fairly uncommon across the campus. There are physicists who play piano sonatas and biologists who love painting, but those typically aren’t the people showing up for our Cinematheque screenings. The question isn’t merely one of taste either. In universities, people in the other arts vote on funding for film programs. If they deep down consider film a lesser art form and hence an inconsequential subject of study, we can expect less support, or perhaps the sort of condescending support that says, in effect, “Well, I suppose that since it’s popular with students we should go ahead . . .”

An Additional Poem by John Ashbery, from The Tennis Court Oath

An image of the text of the poem An Additional Poem by John Ashbery:

AN ADDITIONAL POEM

Where then shall hope and fear their objects find?
The harbor cold to the mating ships,
And you have lost as you stand by the balcony
With the forest of the sea calm and gray beneath.
A strong impression torn from the descending light
But night is guilty. You knew the shadow
In the trunk was raving
But as you keep growing hungry you forget.
The distant box is open. A sound of grain
Poured over the floor in some eagerness—we
Rise with the night let out of the box of wind.

This might seem like a lot for how recent the last post was, but these were mostly pretty short.

Outside time reading Annie Ernaux with some friends

A black cat sits in a protective mesh tent outside on a balcony porch

An ereader showing a section of “passion simple” by Annie Ernaux sits on top of an open notebook next to a capped fountain pen

The black cat watches a grey cat cleaning itself from above

William H. Gass, from "In The Heart of the Heart of the Country"

Mr. Tick, you do me honor. You not only lie in my lap, but you remain alive there, coiled like a fetus. Through your deep nap, I feel you hum. You are, and are not, a machine. You are alive, alive exactly, and it means nothing to you—much to me. You are a cat—you cannot understand—you are a cat so easily. Your nature is not something you must rise to. You, not I, live in: in house, in skin, in shrubbery.

Louise Glück, "Lamium" from The Wild Iris

This is how you live when you have a cold heart.
As I do: in shadows, trailing over cool rock,
under the great maple trees.

The sun hardly touches me.
Sometimes I see it in early spring, rising very far away.
Then leaves grow over it, completely hiding it. I feel it
glinting through the leaves, erratic,
like someone hitting the side of a glass with a metal spoon.

Living things don’t all require
light in the same degree. Some of us
make our own light: a silver leaf
like a path no one can use, a shallow
lake of silver in the darkness under the great maples.

But you know this already.
You and the others who think
you live for truth and, by extension, love
all that is cold.

Finn@sconesaregood· Mar 14

highly recommend these books if you enjoy free flowing stream of consciousness, love long and meandering sentences, and fucking hate paragraph breaks

For example: on one hand I just started Thomas Bernhard's The Loser in English because the preface mentions how the grammar can be difficult and confusing. On the other, I just noticed the French title Le naufragé is a much better match than Loser. lol.

Saturn awards has Hamnet classified as a "fantasy" film, is Shakespeare a wizard in it? does he cast spells?
