Like Annie Dillard, "I decided to hate myself, to make popcorn and read." I teach philosophy (17th/18th C European + philosophy of film).

I keep trying to make jokes about politics, but they’re all too sad.

Not especially, no, other than the usual Lloyd references. I was on a college football musical kick a few years back. (Linking to a list.) And if you haven’t seen Sunny Skies, that movie is amazingly crazy. Worth finding. boxd.it/sAUm

Sabrina and The Lady Eve and Horse Feathers are such good gateway films, and they’re full of references to 20s and 30s college football, at different stages of irony. Also every Harold Lloyd film.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is a biblical reference, but in campus comedies of the ‘30s, it probably refers to Knute Rockne’s Four Horsemen at Notre Dame. (Honestly, college/football/crooners in the ‘30s could be a whole thread.)

To be honest, I learned more about early 20th century American culture (from Prohibition to advertising culture to party lines) from old movies than I did from college courses (and I was a history major). twitter.com/thebasementtan…

Ethyl is a gasoline additive that prevents lead deposits & loud knocks. (Groucho: “If the gasoline runs out, get ethyl. If ethyl runs out, get Mabel.”) Also, gas attendants would fill tank, wash windshield, and change oil. Earlier, you’d crank the engine to start.

1. I don’t think Oscars reflect quality. 2. I love IAWL. 3. TBYOOL is the better film.
