In the cartoon below we see a conversation between a student and a professor:
Student: Prof. Smith, I need you to review this by “X” date.
Professor: No problem. Can you send me an e-mail to remind me?
Student: Of course.
Professor: But don’t send the e-mail right away. Wait two weeks and then send it to me, otherwise I’ll
just ignore it. If I don’t respond within a week, come see me and remind me to check my email.
Student: What if you don’t check your email?
Professor: Send me an email to remind me.
How would the student report their professor’s line “Don’t send the e-mail right away” to another person after leaving the professor’s office?

Poor Things – Emma Stone transfixes in Lanthimos’s thrilling carnival of oddness
- It may only be the beginning of the year, but it’s hard to imagine that there will be a funnier,
- filthier, or more extravagantly peculiar film this year than Yorgos Lanthimos’s latest picture. To
- describe Poor Things, which is adapted by Tony McNamara from the 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray,
- as creatively uninhibited hardly does justice to the wild, wild ride that this explosively inventive
- picture takes us on. Driven by a courageous and physically committed performance from Emma
- Stone, the film follows her journey as Bella Baxter, at the start of the picture a barely verbal blank
- slate, who embarks on an autodidact voyage of discovery to become the ultimate self-made
- woman.
- Like in the book, the period is impossible to pin down exactly. The story unfolds in a parallel
- past, a gothic, steampunk-infused Victoriana, a world that is distorted by the patriarchal power
- disparities in society. Without giving away the specifics, the picture is a subversive spin on Mary
- Shelley’s Frankenstein, with the role of Bella’s creator and guardian taken by unorthodox genius
- Dr Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Called “God” by Bella, Godwin bears grotesque scars on his face
- and body resulting from his childhood experience as the subject of his father’s deranged scientific
- curiosity – an experience that failed to stymie his own rather baroque quest for empirical facts.
- When Godwin recruits eager student Max McCandles (Ramy Youssef) to keep a record of Bella’s
- accelerated progress, her grasp of language expands exponentially.
- But Bella’s hunger knowledge and experience is too voracious to be contained the
- walls Godwin’s mansion. She grasps the opportunity offered by caddish lawyer and man
- about-town Duncan Wedderburn (a marvelously hammy Mark Ruffalo) and ventures forth
- London, first to Lisbon, then by steamship to Alexandria, and finally to a Parisian brothel. As Bella’s
- horizons broaden, so the look of the film alters to encompass her experiences. The chapter set
- predominantly in Godwin’s home is black and white, but once Bella ventures forth, the film shifts
- into color. But not just any color – there’s an uncanny, hyperreal quality to the palette that makes
- each frame look like a hand-tinted piece of Victorian postcard erotica.
- It’s an alchemic combination, this continuing collaboration between Lanthimos and Stone, a
- working relationship that started with The Favourite and will continue with another feature film
- project, titled Kinds of Kindness. They unleash in each other an extra level of uninhibited artistic
- daring that must be rooted in an uncommon degree of mutual trust. Nowhere is this more evident
- than in the physicality of Stone’s remarkable performance. Stone’s virtuoso use of her body – the
- way it inhabits space, the way she gradually masters her gangling, string-like limbs, the guilelessly
- open play of emotions in her face – is one of the most crucial elements in our experience of Bella’s
- journey.
- That journey is supported by a deliciously eccentric score by Jerskin Fendrix. An uneasy,
- detuned four-note motif played on flayed violin strings opens the film and returns in various
- incarnations throughout, sounding at one point like a hippo mating with a harmonium. The gradual
- build of intricacy and sophistication in the music brilliantly mirrors Bella’s intellectual growth.
- Bella’s appetite for novelty is reflected in film-making that evokes a similar sense of wonder and
- discovery in the audience. From the quirky flamboyance of Holly Waddington’s costumes to the
- off-kilter production design by Shona Heath and James Price, Poor Things is an endlessly
- fascinating carnival of oddness.
