4:54 p.m.
Bored and sick, what a delightful combination. Actually, I don't mind being sick all that much 'cause everytime I get a cold with a sore throat, my voice goes all deep and sexy like the female equivalent of Kelsey Grammer (y'know, the guy from Fraser?) Anyhoo, I don't really have a reason to go to school for a whole day for the rest of this week but bastard parents are making me, so my plan is to infect the whole school.
Should be super fun. :)
So what is up in the kufuffling world of me? I'm making out my supplementary material for York (stupid, STUPID thing...if I'm going to do all this work just to APPLY, I'd better get into the fucking school is what I'm saying).
So, one of the supp. material requirements for their Film Production/Screenwriting program is: Choose a sequence from any film made prior to 1999 (note italics) and explain succinctly why it is an example of fine filmmaking.
I could go on and on about excellent movies, but I couldn't choose a film. The Godfather was my first choice (you know, the opening sequence or Don Vito's death or the restaurant scene) but I figured that'd be too obvious. THEN I was going to write about the Moobie scene in Dogma (which was released in 1999...son of a bitch!). THEN I figured a romantic scene from Some Like it Hot but now I'm sticking to the opening sequence of Touch of Evil.
And that's how much of a movie nerd I am. But whatever.
Btw, if you haven't seen Touch of Evil see it now! Excellent film noir if you just ignore the fact that Charlton Heston is playing a Mexican (stupid Hollywooders). Orson Welles is a brilliant, brilliant actor (though I think this is much better displayed in Citizen Kane, but that movie can be a little dry if you're not all Roger Ebert).
Yours...
