I never leave my dorm without being equipped with bandaids –– a lesson I quickly learned after my feet bore the brunt of my poor shoe choices. Some of my most beloved pairs of shoes have left me with blisters in every spot imaginable. Yet, this has never stopped me from moseying around campus in even the most uncomfortable pair. Shoes really are my achilles heel.
Someone out there now owns an 8-inch golden carabiner: the first-place prize for the Performative Masc Lesbian Contest.
If you are lucky enough to be obsessed with something, you might find yourself willing to go the distance, even if this goes against your core principles or those of the people around you. For me, that obsession is the natural world, particularly biodiversity. It is the driving force behind my passion and career, and it is what led me to a profound moment in my life: I tried whale meat.
Four Cornell men’s tennis players wrapped up a strong weekend at Penn State’s Holmes Cathrall Memorial Invitational, each finishing with a 3-1 singles record.

Imagine there is a class that is not on the roster — a class that you have to find. It may start with an errant whisper or a hushed conversation, but once you fall down the rabbit hole a whole new labyrinthine world of myths awaits. Or are they really just myths? Welcome to Folklore 517, a class in urban myths taught in the heart of Los Angeles by the enigmatic Professor whose stories just may be true.

What’s the line between film as art and arthouse film? What’s a wannabe arthouse film for that matter? After watching Anemone, I find myself questioning my taste and maybe even the concept of taste in general. The film had me trying to delineate between pretentiousness and complexity, between minimalism and the adoption of minimalism as a sort of aesthetic fad, and the difference between guttural heart and fetishized trauma. You begin to become uncertain whether you’re just unappreciative or, what feels egotistically assuming but perhaps intimidatingly possible, you might be right. After Italian Neo-realism invented a new sensibility with which to create a film, or any film movement for that matter, were the films that came after, which adopted that sensibility, actually coming from a genuine place? At best, the expression of the genuinely-inspired idea ended up taking a form that happened to be similar to prior films; more likely, the filmmakers imbibed an idolized structure to help facilitate the expression of a genuine idea; and at worst, the filmmaker traced over revered films in the sort of way ChatGPT approximates reference-texts purely in imitation without independent impulse.
As with most subgenres of film — slasher, survival, zombie apocalypse — the oversaturation of heist-centered crime movies has become a recent fixation of mine. There’s something oddly intriguing about watching directors rework the same core premise (a group of criminals joining forces to pull off the impossible) over and over again, hoping to make a break in the monotony that’s become the quintessential heist film. After watching what feels like hundreds of crime movies in my lifetime, I’ve compiled a short list of my recent favorites in the heist subgenre. While they’re not necessarily the best or most realistic heist films I’ve ever seen, each brings something new and equally enjoyable to the table, and that alone makes them worth a watch.

Just a day after performing at All Things Go in Toronto, Ravyn Lenae stopped in Ithaca to perform a headlining set at Cornell Concert Commission’s annual Homecoming concert on Oct. 5. With songs such as “Skin Tight,” “Genius” and “One Wish,” Lenae brought soulful R&B to Bartels Hall, capturing the attention of every attendee. The concert’s closing number, summer smash “Love Me Not,” brought concertgoers to their feet, singing every word back.
I was genuinely shocked watching the trailer for The Smashing Machine. I first encountered it on YouTube’s trending page, featuring the official A24 logo stamped in the corner, with a muscular fighter shining front and center. As I watched Mark Kerr talk to an old lady at the hospital about mixed martial arts, I realized, “Wait, this person looks a lot like The Rock.” I clicked on another tab to look it up, and there he was, smiling back at me. I was taken aback; The Rock is actually acting here.
