weeknotes movies teaching museum comics

This Week:

I watched the Marvel/Disney+ feature “Werewolf by Night” which was fun, and a great throwback to the classic horror of the 1940s and 50s.
I also watched the new version of Hellraiser, which was fine. It was certainly better than most of the 11(!) sequels to the exellent original film, but that’s not saying much, given how many of those sequels are verschtunken.
At the Museum, we screened a documentary about rock and roll photographers, in keeping with “Front Row Center” our newest photography exhibit.
In MUST252, we had a guest lecture from Mohawk historian Darren Bonaparte, who talked about Wampum. It’s also the last week of the class, and students submitted their final take-home exams.
I finished reading COG, a wonderful young adult novel about told from the point of view of an android child, which is a funny and sweet meditation on freedom and care.
I also read Infidel, a horror graphic novel about racism and xenophobia set in a run-down apartment building in NYC.
