Stuff English Teachers Like: May 2011
http://stuffenglishteacherslike.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 8, 2011. 18: Making more blogs. English teachers like to read the whole book. Remember when you were in high school, and you were too busy being popular or high (or both) to do your assigned reading? The kid you copied from probably grew up to be an English teacher. Things you might hear from a current or future English teacher when you admit to not reading the book include: "But it's so good," "You missed so much," and "Shame on you." Sites like SparkNotes. For one of the following reasons:.

Stuff English Teachers Like: #16: Having a job
http://stuffenglishteacherslike.blogspot.com/2011/04/16-having-job.html
Wednesday, April 20, 2011. 16: Having a job. Despite a tendency toward pacifism, a fervent opposition to censorship and a liking for NPR. English teachers are not overly political. This isn't to say English teachers do not vote or have opinions, but as students of history, they consider themselves somewhat removed from the rather base world of politics. They know — have witnessed in thousands of years' worth of literature — how temporary the whims of nations can be. Teachers are simply (poor things!

http://stuffenglishteacherslike.blogspot.com/2011/04/15-kenneth-branaghs-hamlet.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. 15: Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet. There is no shortage of famous actors who have played the famous Prince of Denmark. And while some choices were questionable ( Keanu Reeves? Or daring (Sarah Bernhardt), most of the time, the role is filled by actors who have proven themselves to be brilliant (Sir Ian McKellan, Sir Laurence Olivier, John Barrymore, Richard Chamberlain, et. al.). Still, if you ask an English teacher about his favorite. In order to truly understand why Branagh's. Is so...

Filmfatale: January 2014
http://filmfatale-jenny.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 9 January 2014. Phantom of the Opera at Barts Pathology Museum. 1925) Despite the film's flaws (only Chaney had any acting talent, the story is a lesser Beauty and the Beast. Or Hunchback of Notre Dame. With a little Svengali thown in ),. Still it was a total experience, like being part of a piece of performance art. I highly recommend it. There are three more films to go: Silent Films at Barts Pathology Museum. I also saw an interesting take on the special relationship in A Yank at Oxford.

Wednesday, 3 September 2014. Watching Nicole Kidman's Face in Before I Go To Sleep. This was an utterly ludicrous film- completely implausible, bad script, tired material.

Antibacterial Pope: December 2016
http://nickyakcato.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2016. I'm fortunate enough to live near several theaters that often feature retro screenings, and more often than not, the screenings are from actual film prints. Here are the 12 I saw in 2016:. DERANGED (1974) Screened in 35mm at the Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn. It was a cut print as the infamous "skull/brain scoop" scene was missing, but the wonderfully scratchy celluloid was still a treat, and with this audience, some parts I never found funny became hilarious. GINGER SNAPS (200...
