In days of olde, when a ship was overtaken by a wave coming from behind, and the wave broke over the stern of the ship, it was referred to as being 'pooped'.
And the deck that was struck would be the poop deck.

Not that much. Everybody who calls himself educated needs to read a little of ol' Ernest, maybe some of his short stories, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Old Man and the Sea. But there are lots of other 20th-century authors who write in the same spare fashion and tell more intriguing stories (se: Cain, James M.).

Who do business on great waters,
24 They see the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
25 For He commands and raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
26 They mount up to the heavens,
They go down again to the depths;
Their soul melts because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And [a]are at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
29 He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.

I guess he produced some good work before he fell under the spell of his own image and celebrity. My ex-father-in-law, a nonfiction science writer, used to say that EH "brought the language back from rococo," and I guess that's true. But people like Ring Lardner, Dorothy Parker, Hammett, and Cain would have done that anyway.

And Puppis is the name of a southern constellation: "Puppis, the Latin translation of 'poop deck,' was originally part of an over-large constellation Argo Navis (the ship of Jason and the Argonauts), which centuries after its initial description, was divided into three parts, the other two being Carina (the keel and hull), and Vela (the sails of the ship)."

I'm similar regarding Vonnegut. Loved him as a kid but a didn't care for him during a recent re-read. All the stuff I loved, the humor and the smart assery (there's probably a better Greek or Roman word for that but I don't know it), was still there but the nihilism is harder to take once you reach 29.

All I know about Mailer is this anecdote. When his first novel The Naked and the Dead was published in the late Forties, you couldn't actually have characters saying "f*ck." Thus Mailer's editor changed his characters' usage to "fug": "Fug me," "What is this fuggin' thing," etc.
At a cocktail party, Mailer was introduced to one of the Manhattan cognoscenti. This person smiled at him and said, "So this is the young man who doesn't know how to spell 'f*ck.'"

It's made worse by the standard method of reading literature for schools. Take Shakespeare as an example:
Is the best way to read Shakespeare to read it? No, and yet that's what they do. And then we have to sit there and parse out every word of a few famous soliloquies to make sure we don't miss a reference? That's boring as shit.
It's be like teaching the movie Airplane! by having student read the script and then parse out every joke without ever watching the movie.

I was fortunate to ditch that until I chose to do so on my own, years later. My suspicion is that teachers choose it because it has a protagonist close to the pupils' age, and the book is short.
Our 11th-grade English class had The Haunting of Hill House, which at the least has some *story* to it.

And chooses books that do not light a fire for reading in young people. If you want to teach them language and a love of reading, do books that are both well written AND exciting.
Reading to a boring dickless, drunk jackass talk about the love of his life who keeps getting drunk and sleeping with losers is not exactly going to light a fire under ANYONE.

Paying the crew. Delays in rental spaces. I'm sure part of the calculation is "managerial accounting" equations that are more about opportunity costs than actual money being paid, but it's hurting studios.
I'm not casting studios as victims here, though. Both sides of this stupid labor fight are out for blood, and I couldn't care less. I hope there's viscera on the windows by the time this is over.

Reading Shakespeare is important, if only to parse the language. But it only really makes sense if you understand the flow of the scene, as you suggest. Which is why I tipped my hat to Kenneth Branagh for bringing the classics to the big screen, though they were financial flops.

Perhaps they are more appealing to girls, who trend more fixated on the internal.

Stories about adventure, exploration, and excitement? Yes. They tend to really enjoy those...Not sure how much that's being taught in school these days, but from what I saw during my grad school days in teaching English, those were not a high priority. Instead, the preferences was for stories that are "real," about race and ethnicity and how it shapes the characters' perspectives. Not all that enjoyable...

Yes. Every penny is spent as if they were shooting.
Impossible to shut down, send everything back, only to have to re-ship everything out in a day or two because the strike is over. You would have locations, housing, food services etc that would have to be rescheduled on a moment's notice. And that might not be possible depending on location.

Probably already answered, but: halibut. From MFA description:
Shortly after returning to the United States late in 1882, he settled in Prout’s Neck, Maine, similarly both a fishing community and a pleasant summer resort, where he painted the local population and their work. The Fog Warning is one of three paintings he produced at Prout’s Neck in 1885 describing the lives of the North Atlantic fishermen.
Like many of Homer’s 1870s images featuring farm children, The Fog Warning is a painting with a narrative, though its tale is disturbing rather than charming. As indicated by the halibut in his dory, the fisherman in this picture has been successful. But the hardest task of the day, the return to the main ship, is still ahead of him. He turns to look at the horizon, measuring the distance to the mother ship, and to safety. The seas are choppy and the dory rocks high on the waves, making it clear that the journey home will require considerable physical effort. But more threatening is the approaching fog bank, whose streamers echo, even mock, the fisherman’s profile. Contemporary descriptions of the fishing industry in New England

"Homerific"...An epic complex action tale told in a single frame.
When it comes to sailing paintings, anything by Homer or Hopper "would hang". In fact are hanging, though in rotation, I have more prints than I do wall space.
