Cornell in the Movies

Doesn't sound too appealing, actually.  I want to hear President Kirkman say to the press, "I have to postpone this press conference,  The Cornell-Harvard hockey game starts in a few minutes.  We WILL pass this bill.  And Harvard sucks."

During a cabinet debate, he should point at one cabinet member and say "Good cabinet members", then point at another and say "Bad cabinet member", and so forth.

Are any of the writers from CU?  Wouldn't hurt to ask.

They just hired a new showrunner, for season 2 (assuming it gets renewed), Keith Eisner '89.  So we may be in for more authentic references.

It's a few years old but we're going through "The Good Wife" on Amazon, and just saw an episode where one of the characters attends an "Ivy Core" mixer, which is apparently for the five Ivy League law schools.  Except the banner in the back lists Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton and Dartmouth. :-( They got the number right, but I suppose the people responsible for the props just wrote down the first five Ivies they could think of?

"Tokyo Joe" 1947 Humphrey Bogart is a veteran going back to see if his bar business still exists and gets involved in intrigue. His partner Ito (Teru Shimada) kept it intact. Ito is a Cornell grad, mentioned several times in the movie. It has been many years but there is a small chance the Cornell grad is Bogart's Japanese nemesis in the film, not his partner.  Good movie of it's own right. 3 Stars

Under Cover of Night (1937).  Establishing shot of "Trent University" is the bell tower shot from between the pillars of Goldwin Smith.

I had absolutely no idea that the dude in Bad Religion was a Cornell professor until yesterday.

Um... presumably they've been in a movie.

Well, Jeff Dowd is the inspiration for "The Dude" in The Big Lebowski. I'm not sure if Jeff ever attended Cornell, but he was an activist in Cornell SDS during the sixties. His father, Doug, was a Cornell economics professor. Doug passed away this past September.

I don't think anyone who knew them both ever thought Jeff would become more famous than Doug. ::doh::

I remember a science fiction movie in the late 1980s that was similar to Close Encounters of the Third Kind where some bureaucrat told a scientist that he should take his Cornell degree and do something inappropriate with it. Does anybody recall what that movie could be?

I assume you're talking about "Starman," but I don't recall that particular line. Charles Martin Smith played a SETI scientist who had a Cornell degree.

EDIT: Found it.

Mark Shermin : Listen, Mr. Fox, I'd like to be a team player and all of that, but, there's something that I want to call to your attention.

George Fox : There's one thing I don't need from you is a lecture on morality.

Mark Shermin : Alright, okay, screw morality. What the hell ever happened to good manners? We invited him here!

George Fox : I don't have time for this Shermin.

Mark Shermin : I'm trying to make a point.

George Fox : So am I, damn it! You make a great show of being a rebel; but, the fact is this: you are a GS-11 public servant. Anytime that becomes too much of a burden, you can go back to Cornell or whenever the hell it was that we found you and lets see you make it through on an instructor's salary. Now, shape up! Or, get out.

You'll recognize many familiar scenes in this old one

and cringe at much of the message.

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.

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"?
