I streamed the second episode of The Sinner last night. When the lead detective talks with the murder victim’s parents, the mother mentions that her dead son went to Cornell and worked “a hundred hours a week.” BTW, he got into medical school.

Movie to be released in July, Oppenheimer, “The epic thriller chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic American scientist who ran the Manhattan Project — which led to the creation of the atomic bomb during World War II.“ As Hans Bethe, Richard Feynman and Paul Olum (had a class with him, BTW) all worked on the Manhattan Project, I think Cornell may get a mention. Even if not, sounds like an interesting movie.

Not exactly a movie, but I stumbled on this kinescope from an early Merv Griffin Show that features the Chapin Brothers. Merv gives a shoutout to Cornell, but by 1965, classmate Harry Chapin was long gone from the Hill. We used to kid him, if don’t quit balladeering all the time, you’ll bust out and never be successful. Well, we were partly right. He returned in 1972, along with Phil Ochs and Eric Weissberg (Dueling Banjos), for a Barton Hall concert benefitting Ramsey Clark, who was vying for the Democrat nomination for president.
Harry’s family lived in the Bronx, so during my sophomore year, I drove Harry home several times on my way to Long Island. During his freshman year, he apparently took the Greyhound, as did I, that went through Scranton (30,000 Pounds of Bananas). Another of his popular songs was Old College Avenue. He tragically died in 1981, when the VW he was driving was rear-ended on the LIE.

On a recent episode of the rebooted “Quantum Leap,” “Live. Die. Repeat.” (S1E11), we get about a 1/2 second glimpse of a Cornell diploma on the wall in nuclear physicist (played by Robert Picardo) Dr. Woolsey’s office. Looking on pause, I’m not even sure they went to the trouble of getting one that credibly looks like it says “Woolsey,” but it was a nice detail.

So there is a Quantum Leap reboot. Are there still 500 different series to choose from? I don't know which show is my favorite this year because I'm sure I haven't watched it.

Yes, and it's not a reimagining; it takes place in the present, thirty years after Sam Beckett's "final" disappearance. It has its weaknesses, but its two greatest strengths are a) a larger regular cast, since we get to see the Quantum Leap staff every episode along with the person leaping, and b) an underlying story arc. It's been renewed for a second season, so I guess enough people are enjoying it. Scott Bakula declined to be involved, apparently after much soul-searching; we'll see if that lasts the duration of the series.
And yes, there are still far too many original TV series for any one person to keep up with, but we try anyway.

Smart but did not live up to their potential (or did not have the right connections).
(I’m reminded of the scene in the Netflix comedy Never Have I Ever from Mindy Kaling where the college consultant throws the Penn and Cornell mascots into the trash.)

Movie to be released in July, Oppenheimer, “The epic thriller chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic American scientist who ran the Manhattan Project — which led to the creation of the atomic bomb during World War II.“ As Hans Bethe, Richard Feynman and Paul Olum (had a class with him, BTW) all worked on the Manhattan Project, I think Cornell may get a mention. Even if not, sounds like an interesting movie.
.
Oppenheimer opens in theaters July 21. Portrayed Cornell faculty include Hans Bethe (Gustaf Skarsgard), Philip Morrison (Harrison Gilbertson) and Richard Feynman (Jack Quaid), also Nobel Laureate, Isidor Isaac Rabi, BS ‘19 (David Krumholtz).
While at Cornell, Feynman lived at Telluride House, where he said “it's there that I did the fundamental work" for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1965.

Not exactly Cornell in the Movies, but this morning I heard a song by the Chapin Brothers, Blood Water, that explicitly mentions Cornell.
[spoken intro]
In the Spring of 1964, at Cornell University
a young girl fell 98 feet to her death
in one of the gorges adjoining the campus
It is the custom at Spring Weekend
For the faternities to dye the gorges a color
And that year it happened to be red.
I don’t know if Harry ‘64 wrote it, as I think he had “busted out” by then.
I drove Harry to and from his home in the Bronx several times my sophomore year. I suppose it was better riding with me than taking the bus through Scranton, PA. BTW, several of his other songs allude to Cornell, e.g., Old College Avenue. I think that the “Sue” he mentions in Taxi is another Architecture student, but I’m not certain.

The 1936 Poughkeepsie Regatta, in which Cornell finishes fifth, is depicted in the film. Interestingly, according to Corey Earle, Cornell is the only school with more Intercollegiate Rowing Association championships than the University of Washington (26 to 19). In 1936, Cornell had 14 and Washington had only three. Of course, it helped that early on only Cornell, Columbia and Penn competed. The very first IRA race was held in June 1895 and Cornell won with a time of 21:25.0.

Is there another Cortland in ny?
Yes! It's known to me because it's a stop on Metro North. The spelling is not the same.
I grew up in the Town of Cortlandt (with a "t"

[townofcortlandt.com]
It was a real town but never seemed to have a postal address with its name. So we used Peekskill NY - where, FUN FACT, the Facts of Life sitcom was set. In recent years, the Van Cortlandt Manor name was allowed to be used because it sounded more pretentious for purposes of selling real estate.

Cornell is name dropped in the Holdovers a few times
Highly recommend The Holdovers, I Loved it
And I know it takes place and was filmed in New England, but the bar they go to (pinball scene) reminded me a lot of The Palms.

I was reading a book on Ty Cobb and there is a mention that in 1900-01 a pro baseball coach drove a car into into an unlit Cornell Swimming pool. Wonder where that would have been at the time if its true.

Check out The Cornell Campus by Kermit Parsons, 1968.

Perhaps the Old Armory, razed in late 50s to make way for Hollister Hall?

To me the story is better if it was still in Teagle even then.

Oppenheimer, “The epic thriller chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic American scientist who ran the Manhattan Project — which led to the creation of the atomic bomb during World War II.“ As Hans Bethe, Richard Feynman and Paul Olum (had a class with him, BTW) all worked on the Manhattan Project, I think Cornell may get a mention. Even if not, sounds like an interesting movie.
Streamed Oppenheimer free on Peacock yesterday. Professors Bethe, Feynman and Morrison appeared briefly, but future Nobelist Isidor Rabi ‘19 had a bigger role. A good friend to Oppenheimer, a real mensch.

I have been misremembering Altered States for 40 years. I thought Edward Jessup was at Columbia, but he is at "Cornell Medical College." Emily is at Columbia. Note Wikipedia makes the same error.

Movie to be released in July, Oppenheimer, “The epic thriller chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic American scientist who ran the Manhattan Project — which led to the creation of the atomic bomb during World War II.“ As Hans Bethe, Richard Feynman and Paul Olum (had a class with him, BTW) all worked on the Manhattan Project, I think Cornell may get a mention. Even if not, sounds like an interesting movie.
Oppenheimer opens in theaters July 21. Portrayed Cornell faculty include Hans Bethe (Gustaf Skarsgard), Philip Morrison (Harrison Gilbertson) and Richard Feynman (Jack Quaid), also Nobel Laureate, Isidor Isaac Rabi, BS ‘19 (David Krumholtz).
While at Cornell, Feynman lived at Telluride House, where he said “it's there that I did the fundamental work" for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1965.

Not a movie, but I just ran across this:
Jonathan Silver is an English musician who was the second drummer for the English rock band Genesis. He replaced Chris Stewart in the summer of 1968 and appears on their first full-length album, From Genesis to Revelation, and on the Genesis Archive 1967-75 box set. He left the band in August 1969 and was replaced by John Mayhew after leaving to study at Cornell University.

I see on another board the Greatful Dead sphere show has a Barton Hall appearance.

Can confirm that - the Grateful Dead & Cornell will forever be connected.
