- [sourced_fact] Posts dated 2026-10-14 ('Cinephiles honored by Cinephiles!') and 2026-08-24 ('The Film Art of animation: A review') are visible, so the blog is active. · locator: most recent three posts · source: https://www.davidbordwell.net/blog
- [sourced_fact] Kristin Thompson now writes many posts; Bordwell died more than two years before the latest posts. · locator: post bylines and 2026-10-14 post · source: https://www.davidbordwell.net/blog
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
