@simsjames question: Is 's Coursera course about "Marriage and the Movies" ever going to come back? Or Scott Higgins on film sound and color history? I enjoyed both the year that I retired from teaching other subjects.
I've been wondering if they ran into film-rights problems or just time and money issues making them difficult to update to current production quality.
