I tried to delete as much of this stuff as possible and use other examples for 2e. No Bluesky mentions, though.

nice to hear!

congrats, looks great!

Thanks so much for sharing this, Michael. Glad to hear!

This reminds me that he wrote a book about riding his bike around different cities!

This was not covered by Kelly M? Interesting to see it come to light in this opinion piece. I also didn't know about it.

The last time I had screenings some people didn't show up and some people didn't pay attention, so 🤷‍♂️

I think it depends? In my most recent Intro to Film Studies course most of the students seemed to be watching everything carefully and attentively and it was great. I've polled a couple of classes and they were about 50/50 in their preferences. I'm not sure it makes a big difference.

I've been giving up on in-class screenings and assigning film/TV either for streaming on Swank (library access) or as video ripped from DVD uploaded to the LMS. YouTube also works for some content. Trying to eliminate any cost to students.
