Thursday 9/20 Recap



1. Taylor, arriving late again, promised that the next time she's ever late she will bake cookies for the entire class.
2. Which got me to thinking: if any of you other non-on-time slackers arrive late, it best be with a box of donuts or apple cider or a bucket of gold. Otherwise the folks who do show up on time will not be pleased. Dig?
3. We're skipping week five's itinerary and moving straight to week 6 for next week's class. That means watch Platoon and Apocalypse Now.
4. Rambo fans, fear not. We will get to Rambo. We just haven't earned the right to him yet.
5. For Tuesday, I want you to have read all of "How to Write about Movies" in your packet (Chapters 1,2, and 3. Reread them if you feel you're having difficulty analyzing film sequences.) In class on Tuesday I will show you a scene from a movie and will ask you to write about its structure using concepts you learned from the reading.
6. If you were in class today, and you didn't hand in your RA because I forgot to ask for them, let me know and I'll accept it on Tuesday.
7. A kick-ass weekend: have one.
