VILLANOVA POPE
In a seminar setting, when you get to know students from their participation, their essays can have a voice that you recognize as theirs - or, if they use AI, one that you don’t. Not foolproof, of course, but using multiple ways of hearing from students can help.
The Maltese Falcon
#TheMalteseFalcon: a.k.a., the Great MacGuffin. Spade says this is the “stuff that dreams are made of.” An arbitrary artisanal bird certainly anchors the vision of this classic film. savortheview.substack.com #movies #film #FilmNoir
“Don’t you know any better than to wake a man up at two o’clock in the afternoon?”
For this and so many other amazing quotes, let’s talk about The Big Sleep (1946).

The Worst Person in the World (2021): Friends, this week’s movie pairs surprisingly well with Miley Cyrus’s “Used to Be Young.” The wisdom born of experience comes to us by many, many paths. savortheview.substack.com

#PulpFiction: How does the 1994 film hold up for you in 2024? savortheview.substack.com
#PulpFiction: Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll…and violence. Lots and lots of violence. Also, casual racism. What do we make of it all? savortheview.substack.com
You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?
I like my odds.
12 Angry Men (1957): If you were in the room, who would you be? savortheview.substack.com
“Life is in their hands — Death is on their minds!” The poster for 12AngryMen did not mess around.
But why care what happens in a room with 12 random men? open.substack.com/pub/savorthe...

With Savor the View, we’ll watch, think, and talk about movies and the things that matter.
Saltburn. Why is this movie?
Took me the entire run of the series, but finally dawned on me: Saul Goodman, both in Nebraska and in prison, spends his time "making dough."
Better Call Saul, both scrupulously subtle and completely on the nose.
Watched Rebel Moon. The Daario Naharis face-off was a novelty. I don't think Bewitched's two Darrins ever pulled that off.
Also, Gladiator ended a very long time ago. Has Djimon Hounsou been sitting outside the Colosseum this entire time?
Wish I had more to say for my movie-viewing experience.
