A visit from the local fauna

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

I can’t tell if all of the wide angle technicolor ***Landscape*** in the 1955 version of Oklahoma! makes it the best possible version of Oklahoma!, or if, somehow, it actually kills it dead.

Grading time — which means slasher films and musicals on in the background. The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) has to be the slasher-iest slasher film in existence. So clichéd at every moment that you stop registering anything as a cliché, and it’s just like “dead dove: do not eat,” the movie.

LRT(S?) has me thoughtful and sad. I’ve been moving away from requiring papers in my undergrad classes because it feels like incentivizing cheating. But the only reason I know how to write, at all, is that I had to crank out 6-10 mediocre term papers per year, every year, for a solid decade or so…

God exactly. The purpose of writing papers is FOR YOU TO THINK SOMETHING THROUGH, not because a prof has a deficit in their life that needs to be filled by reading 5-7 pages of mediocre bullshit. The bulk of things I recall from undergrad are things I wrote papers about.

The world of German Romanticism is so small. Like I am just now learning, somehow, that the woman Wilhelm Müller was in desperately infatuated with while he was writing Die schöne Müllerin was Luise Hensel, i.e. Fanny Hensel’s sister-in-law.

Someone on here said that we've just replaced the four humours with the names of neurotransmitters and that's so right it's not even funny.

I love David Lynch, but I’m deeply amused by the take you sometimes see (even from Lynch himself!) that goes something like “people who ask for an explanation of a David Lynch film are philistines and idiots: the art speaks for itself.”
