uh oh, first this and then they come for the DSA slow cinema wing.

perennially relevant tweet for me, wearing pants for the first time in 3 months and heading to first day of class with pitstains the size of lake michigan, awesome.
personal life goal for the month of september 2024: complete the 25-min walk from home in the ironbound to work at rutgers-newark without arriving absolutely sopped in sweat to the point of dehydration. odds of achieving this: zero.

our Goldman Sachs millionaire governor in New Jersey turned out to be not *that* bad by the standards of the modern Democratic Party, so the NJ Dems looked around & said "hmm what we need is a grotesquely rightwing police-bootlicker Navy-helicopter-pilot Blue Dog girlboss," 💪

dug this enough to add that movie he directed in 2002 that just came on Criterion Channel to my queue, even if he'll always kinda be Rusty James in Rumble Fish to me.

fave detail: Marc Raymond wrote about the Scorsese-driven STREET SCENES (1970) without access to the film itself, then it astonishingly washed up on @rarefilmm and Raymond is in the comments wondering where it came from (still unanswered!).

teaching a graduate research seminar on radical film history for the second time, precisely a decade after the first (in same room even, feel like that Zemeckis movie). looking back at earlier syllabus, I think I lost my mind, this is a deranged amount to assign for a week

fell into a real discourse cesspool thanks to this guy, and imagine having a PhD in comparative genocide studies and saying things like this.
As @SpencerGuard reminds us, we are witnessing an awful war in which civilians have tragically died, but that does not negate Israel’s unprecedented measures to avoid civilian casualties while targeting Hamas terrorists.

gosh who to trust more, the International Association of Genocide Scholars or the guy with dozens of Israel-apologist tweets every day? the epistemological struggle is real.
So I read the International Association of Genocide Scholars resolution. I found it interesting. And not in a good way for the IAGS. First, it misstated the ICJ’s “plausibility” determination saying it was “plausible genocide,” which is not true. The ICJ said that Palestinians.

should've noted, this was the first 70mm NYC screening of TOTAL RECALL in 3 decades! a true joy, can't believe same dude directed TURKISH DELIGHT. one loud annoying guy but you can't get *too* uptight about participatory film-bro types at a movie where a woman has a "throob"

could relive the 90s as I experienced them, sad, alienated, & pedantically blathering about my Sentridoh/Azalia Snail split 7"s or whatever, or go experience the actual 90s at a bowling alley on the Jersey Shore. not even a contest, perfect place to watch the world die.

this may or may not be fair but every time I see this name on a byline from years ago until forever all I can do is mutter "Labor Historians for Warren" to myself and shake my head.

deep-cut add to Raúl Ruiz thread but posted about ¡Qué hacer! (1972) way upthread last year & just came across interesting video from co-director Nina Serrano, which I found after watching After the Earthquake (1979) which she made w/Lourdes Portillo, whew.

did not know this existed until 2 minutes ago, dang.
Obscure YT of the day: the pilot of one of the BEST shows ever, John Sayles' forgotton SHANNON'S DEAL. Sayles wrote this, Lewis Teague (CUJO, ALLIGATOR) directs. Jamey Sheridan, Elizabeth Pena, Richard Edson star. This was a major work by Sayles. Link in reply:

When Democrats talk about wanting a liberal Joe Rogan I think this is basically what they mean.

I watched the new Spike Lee joint, then I watched James Benning's Natural History (2014, one of his weakest IMHO), then I was stuck with a nagging sense of some connection between them. finally remembered: .Four Corners (1997)
