A few weeks ago I got to see Mr. Coogler, Mr. Lindo, and Mr. Raphael Saadiq speak after a showing of Sinners in 70mm at Oakland’s Grand Lake Theater. It was an honor being in the same space as them.
@rejectednytwords.bsky.social Apparently I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about when I teach poetic rhythm and meter. FFS
You know it’s a great day when the Czar @eddiemuller.bsky.social comes by to talk with students about noir & film & being able to do what you love in life. And to end with a story about Ann Savage, too - icing on the cake! I really do love teaching. Thanks, Eddie!
My daughter gave me #CriterionCollection Spine #226 (Onibaba) for my birthday today and I feel so seen!
Same reserved seat I had last month for #NoirCity23. Tonight we get to see Sinners in 70mm at the #GrandLake … and a special guest or two will be speaking at the end of the showing…
I cannot emphasize enough how much I loved The Singers. It’s on Netflix. 18 minutes long. I hope it wins the Oscar. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched 🎬🎥📽️
Love all of this. I share this Proust quote with my students when I try to explain why I love to read so much
Had one of the highlights of my career today: Saturday field trip to #noircity23! A heartfelt and special thanks to @eddiemuller.bsky.social & all at @noirfoundation.bsky.social for welcoming my students and showing them that black & white and Bogie & Bacall will always be cool!
Interestingly, it’s playing this Sunday (with Young Man with a Horn) at #NoirCity23 at the #GrandLakeTheater in Oakland!
Highlights: I completed the reading of Remembrance of Things Past and all of Shakespeare’s plays.
