To keep track of things not done for specific academic projects.

Tenure (2009)
Hollywood representations of academic life tend to be incredibly off base and, as such, sometimes hilarious to those of us "in the business." That’s what I was hoping for with Tenure.
What I got was a flat third-rate knock off of Alexander Payne’s funny-meets-sweet formula. Not that I imagined that Luke Wilson would suddenly figure out how to carry a movie. But with this lifeless script he didn’t even have a chance.
