Heard a horrible thunk against my 3rd 📚 floor window, and found this guy assiduously avoiding eye contact. Buddy, I empathize with walking into walls. You're in good company.

Love to run a game that results in changing the group chat name (only bummed that for some reason *this one* only I can see)

Anyway I like to have a bit of fun when I email my DH Center Affiliates about programming we're putting on. Homerists don't @ me I'm sure this doesn't scan

Sing, muse, of a many-minded DH Center, who wandered
Long and far after the summer interim began.
They saw the cities and knew the minds of many men,
But suffered at not getting to hang out and see each other…

I'm really looking forward to the class I'm teaching in Fall. It's definitely not all niche, indie TTRPGs all the way down...

God is on my side tonight. I made PERFECT biscuits and a bundt cake that came out of the pan with ZERO issues

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Did you know it's awesome to have a sleepover with your friends (crash on someone's couch in Denver because you have a flight in the morning and don't want to do the back and forth to the Springs) and watch a movie after seeing a different movie? It is!

Big things at the Sie FilmCenter! Support your local indie cinema!

A cute little picture of me with text:
Member of the Month: Larry Eames!

Each month, members will have the chance to be nominated by the Sie floor staff to be chosen as next month's member of the month. The winner will be chosen based on a combination of strength, valor, and dedication to loving movies as much as we do.

We have the honor to announce that our Member of the Month for April is Larry Eames, who you'll likely recognize for being at the Sie as much as we are. If you see Larry around the Sie, say hi and stop for a quick movie chat-- here is some Larry Eames trivia to help break the ice:

Favorite Movie: STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN (this is unironically true, it's the first movie that ever made me cry and also it's a masterpiece)

How long have you been a member/patron of the Sie: Since January 2025 (and I ran the numbers, I've seen 273 films at the Sie in that time. I'm not controlling for shorts in that math, but still)

Last Movie seen at the Sie: APOCALYPSE NOW

Favorite movie of 2025: favorite 2025 release: RESURRECTION/ favorite movie I saw from any other year: THE WAGES OF FEAR

Favorite Movie Trivia Fact: In THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, all the characters have the same first names as the actors playing them because the lead, Ana--who was 7 at the time, kept getting confused between character names and actor names so they changed the script to make it easier for her. I think that's really sweet.

Oh, and, of course there are Moroccan spice oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. How could I forget part one of things I'm doing to work out the anxiety I def don't have. Also I hit a PB on... I was about to say squats but honestly everything in the gym today.

Man who's only studied one region of art history: man, getting some real Mario de Andrade vibes from this... (Can't find the photo I'm thinking of on its own, but it is the cover of Errant Modernism which is a banger)

The cover of Esther Gabara's "Errant Modernism: the Ethos of Photography in Mexico and Brazil"

A nearly monochrome image. The horizon is marked by the shore of the Amazon river, but the boundary is messy, fungible, difficult to discern because of the reflection (and the sort of intentionally not fabulous framing). It gives the impression of a landscape that cannot be contained by the mere act of photography; the technology is insufficient to communicate the nature of... nature.

Star Trek Section 31 has been my lowest average watch since I got stats for the year. I watched it *on my birthday* when it came out because I love Star Trek so much, it broke my goddamn heart, and it's been breaking my goddamn heart since then when I look at my stats.

I was surprised to see title design as a category, but then i was more surprised to see Teddy Blanks. Teddy Blanks? Teddy Blanks of Chips NY from the @fivefourpod.bsky.social credits? As read to me every week by @fleerultra.bsky.social? That Teddy Blanks? Yes! Full on DiCaprio pointing moment.

Shout out to Brazil, Mexico, and Hong Kong for being my highest rated countries. Hong Kong is my 5th ranked by number of movies seen, Brazil is no. 10, and Mexico didn't even enter the most watched ranking, but they're heavy hitters for highest rated.

Arguably the least interesting part, but I kinda love the milestones. Notably, the 300th film is one I saw at the screendance festival one of my liaison area faculty put on in October! That's the reason I invented my "hey I know someone in this!" tag.

Absolutely, unironically just sent an email to someone that essentially said "it's probably hubris to think I can do this, but I'm built different so I think I can" and now I feel the ghosts of tragic heroes past and also this tumblr post swirling around me.

Actually kind of rude of Outlook to send me my own vacation responder. Like yeah I'm at a film festival, but I also have a grant and a book proposal...

An email ending "I'm on vacation checking email between things. Best, Larry."

Immediately after is a vacation responder with the sender labeled Note to Self reading "Hello, I am currently out of the office (10/31-11/11) with limited access to email. I will respond as I am able, but for immediate research assistance, please contact the Research Assistance Desk. Thanks!"
