Cornell in the Movies

[Beeeej]

The 3/30/2019 edition of NPR's Only a Game had a story about the filming of Love Story and the casting of Joe Bertagna and the Cleary Brothers.

How many days until the Hahvahd game?

I was going to post this in the HARVARD SUCKS thread, but I thought it was on Weekend Edition and couldn't find the link in the rundown.

Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal had a horrible plot to deal with there but Ali had another shot at portraying a college aged woman and not only is the movie worth a watch, but the novella is one of Roth's better efforts (IIRC).

Ali MacGraw was on the cover of so many magazines   in 1970 that she showed up on the picture advertising "Time" magazine that was inside the 3 or 4 section Cornell stamped spiral ring notebooks sold at "The Campus Store".

Isn't that character supposed to be partially responsible for the large number of Gen-Xers named "Jennifer"?

Yes, but it's probably at least as much the novel's fault as it is the film's.

WARNING: blatantly political, but a brief mention of Cornell — GEE, ANTHONY FAUCI . . . Sorry if anyone's offended, but I think many of us could use a laugh about now.

There is a reference to Cornell in the new Netflix series Queens Gambit .  A book the main char picks up on some mathematical theory shows Cornell on the cover for the writer.  I was going to go back and see if its a real book.

Some Group Theory shit.  It's s'posed to be good for you.

Grab a drink and have fun!  "Monomial" in this context just means a matrix with one non-zero element in every row and every column.  The fact that you can represent a group as the product of such a matrix and each element I'm sure implies some weird-ass matrix operational shit that you can then do to prove Math Things, achieve Nirvana, get cheaper auto insurance, etc.

I don't know.  But I'll bet Whelan knows.  Whelan knows fucking everything.

Searching the Cornell Library catalog, I can't find either the title or the author.  All theses are supposed to be there.

Nah, my applied group theory these days is limited to trying to figure out if the kids' train track loops are going to close.  I'd have to ask my colleagues in discrete math, if I weren't about to go into "lockdown light" in a different country.  Although I am actually giving a discrete math seminar in a couple of weeks.  I plan to start it with a little differential geometry, so I may get the hook in the first five minutes...

You can never go wrong with Eigenvalues.  They're just so fun to say!

Some scenes in GoldenEye were filmed at the Arecibo Observatory, though it was never identified as such.

Arecibo radio telescope to be decommissioned.  Cornell faculty were integral in its design and the university operated it from its construction in the 1960s until 2011.

So are they implying going to Cornell drove her mom crazy?

I had the same thought.

For those who haven't seen it, The Queen's Gambit is terrific. Anya Taylor-Joy (who I'd never heard of before) is spellbinding as the central character.

Here's Cornell's announcement.

Maybe.  There's certainly a great moment when she passes out drunk against a table and you get a little flashback of Mom saying "that's my girl."
