Many of those kids who saw WEEKEND went on to study film, and all of them were changed for the better. Thank you cinema and thank you Jean-Luc “cinema” #Godard. As long as the art still matters, you will too.

@tyburr A story from a Newton film studies teacher about the importance of #Godard to a young audience. About eight years ago the @BrattleTheatre showed a restoration of WEEKEND. Nearly half of my students showed up. They came because

kid at the party and the most exasperating. In not understanding his work, they learned a new way of thinking about art and cinema and life and they could never watch movies the same way again. Who else has this effect on the infinitely curious?

@MassDCR so thankful for all the great swimming spots, but could you update the twitter feed to let us know when ponds are closed and lots are full? Went on a two hour goose chase with two kids this morning only to be turned back at multiple ponds and beaches. Thanks so much!

@CoryintheHouse6 Not sure if you remember the script treatment that you wrote in Film Studies, but I do. You should pitch that to Mr. Anderson. I still teach it to my students.

#nshsfilm I sure hope Alfonso Cuaron wrote a lot of acceptance speeches tonight.

We are 40 minutes into the #Oscars and only one category -- hair and makeup -- has NOT been won by a person of color.

#nshsfilm Great speech from a great production designer!

[Mr. Weintraub @MrWeintraub]

#nshsfilm Hey Film Studies! Who's watching the Oscars right now?

[Mr. Weintraub @MrWeintraub]

@OnePerfectShot Karyn Kusama, Lynne Ramsay, and Andrea Arnold are the boldest stylists of their generation(s), all in their own highly personal ways. Wow!

[Mr. Weintraub @MrWeintraub]

@TurnitinStatus Why is the online grading/commenting function so slow right now? Is it my internet connection or a server problem on your end? This is getting very frustrating.

[Mr. Weintraub @MrWeintraub]

@JordanPeele Mr. Peele, if you are in the Boston area on Friday, April 27th, Newton South HS is screening #GetOut for all 12th graders. We would be be humbled and honored if you could join us! (But of course, we know you are a busy and in-demand guy!) Thank you for inspiring us!

Looks like Ariana is the big winner! Final tallies will be revealed in class tomorrow. Go to bed! #nshsfilm

[Mr. Weintraub @MrWeintraub]

Okay everyone, the top four: Ariana, Hannah, AJ, and Spencer. And it's going to come down to Best Picture, b/c they have the same picks for all other categories. Woah...it's gonna be a late night! #nshsfilm
