Thank you to everyone who came to IU Cinema last night, and laughed and groaned in all the right vampire movie places. Huge thanks also to @IU Cinema for organizing everything and showing the film so beautifully. To everyone who spoke before the film, it meant the world to me.

Just started reading @Chris Kraus’s new book, “The Four Spent the Day Together.” Kudos for what looks to be another terrific nonfiction novel ( Kraus’s term for what she does)

moved out of my school office and turned in my key. Easiest move I’ve ever had, thanks to Two Men and a Truck, and the grad students who helped me box everything. For IU friends, there are theory and film studies books outside my old office- Franklin Hall, Basement level, 030 B- free for taking.

Currently reading J Hoberman’s “Everything is Now.” Fascinaying and packed with info. For example, in 1949 it was so assumed that NYC would be atomic ground zero that kindergartners were issued dog tags when they entered school.

For the first time ever, one of my students was so upset by Truffaut’s film “The Four Hundred Blows” that she asked if she could skip class discussion and speak to me about the film privately
