thoughts on movies
Jul. 30th, 2011 01:27 amI saw two films today. Because I am no longer a teenager, I did not theater-hop. I paid for both. I think this justifies my upcoming rant tangent digression.
I will just start by saying that my hopes were moderately high for one and abysmally low for the other. Both surprised me greatly.
( ....suuuuspense.... )
In other news, I'm almost done with my syllabus for next semester. Highlights include: Exit Through the Gift Shop, My Fair Lady, George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television," and an article from Vanity Fair. Yes, my reading lists are eclectic. They are definitely that.
Plus, I'm trying to draft a proposal for a course for Comp Lit in the winter more geared towards my actual area of expertise, 19th century Japan-related texts. I'm thinking I might propose a course based on travel narratives on the far east, a sort of "orientalism" in practice sort of thing. That's still in the works.
Last note: did anyone see this week's So You Think You Can Dance? If you didn't, check this shiz-nit out:
Did you see that jump at 1:17? Did you see that??
