Next on my conference schedule is the Association of Adaptation Studies conference, from 8th-11th June. I'll be delivering my paper 'Nijinsky: Lost Interpretations of a Russian Dancer' at it, alongside a load of other great papers. Here's the link aasconference2021.com

I'll be presenting a paper entitled 'The Collapse of High- and Lowbrow Distinctions in 1960s British Television' at this year's @dundeeuni postgrad conference, alongside many other intriguing papers. Fancy attending? then get a ticket via this link: eventbrite.co.uk/e/university-o…

Today's film adjacent find - NBA 2K16, which apparently features a mode written and directed by Spike Lee! Could it be a Do the Right Thing beater? Probably not, but at the very least it has to be better than Oldboy.

Horrific news. Please, England, don't vote for the Tories again today.

@DocMelia @MasterChefUK Haha!

This season of @MasterChefUK celebrity with #ChrisRock looks a bit bleak

Just finished watching a fantastic talk from @temmuzsr on John Waters. Cheers for sharing some fascinating research!

What I learned today - Brewdog will send you fleeing after half a pint if you haven't drank it in six months.

@DocMelia Wandering about it was the best bit, aye. It's a beautifully bleak design.

@KevinFullerto19 That sounds great. It might be my video game treat post payday next month. I think 4 is stunning, i love the whole design of it and that feel of autumnal melancholy it has

#Fallout76 I've read mixed reviews. is it worth it?

@DocMelia You might love 76 then as it's breathing the same air as 4. 3 was my entry point into the series and my fave, although I never played Vegas. Well worth a try if you can get it running! Bit heavier on weighty moral choices than 4.

@KevinFullerto19 I love Fall Out 4 (its the one I came into the series with) and Fall Out New Vegas. Need to catch up with FallOut 3 but it apparently doesn't work with windows 10.

@DocMelia Aye, I might dip back in one day to see! I thought the fourth one was a complete misstep though - seemed to be shooting and nothing else - so I don't think I'm the target audience anymore.

@KevinFullerto19 That's what I have read, that the updates have improved it

RIP DMX. A rapper whose tunes helped shape a large portion of my youth.

@DreamCargoes @baftss @baftsspg Absolutely. Seems like a relatively cheap option too, although I'm no tech expert. Either way, let's hope the accessibility of academia this year doesn't disappear once the lockdown is over.

@KevinFullerto19 @baftss @baftsspg Smaller events may gravitate towards the online, but the bigger ones surely need an in-person element. Yes, I think your idea is good, if the recordings can be readied for a set time. Or, livestreaming & commenting below can be done, maybe a private YouTube channel or similar?

A great format over the past three days of #BAFTSS2021. I wouldn't want to put any nails in the coffin for face to face conferences, but a blended approach to conference attendance seems like common sense at this stage. @baftss @baftsspg

@DreamCargoes @baftss @baftsspg I can imagine a situation where online attendees effectively watch recordings while in person attendees can socialise/interact with speakers. Not ideal but seems like a reasonable compromise.

@KevinFullerto19 @baftss @baftsspg Agreed. LB seemed to say, introducing the Roundtable, that the 2 styles of conference couldn't be reconciled... While it would clearly involve logistical or technological difficulties, would it really be out of the question to try & fuse the two? Anyway, great event. Thanks all.
