James Earl Jones was a true original with a style uncommon today.
He could tango with scripts that dictated the broadest kind of performance while also deftly carrying forward subtlety & nuance.

Trying to figure this out:
I finished my PhD just before the pandemic began. I was lucky to adjunct for a few years.
After not finding anything on market I moved across the country and started another job, unrelated to my research, for a year.
Now I'm starting as a prof of Cinema Studies. (1/2)

Visited a used book store for the 1st time in many many years and was planning to leave with nothing.
