Film and other cultured things

Status: Enjoying the breath of lazy air before the next three weeks of film chaos begin

Roof is here and we are going to be busy. In three weeks I must...

Complete the following:
1) 3 papers
2) 5 reviews
3) 1 script I'm proud to film
4) 1 short film

Go see the following:
1) 6-9 ethnic movies

Read the following:
1) 7 articles of varying lengths

We're also watching the following films in class:
- The Lady Vanishes (Hitchcock)
- Notting Hill (Michell)
- The Cement Garden (McEwan)
- The Big Lebowski (Coen Bros.)
- Gattaca (Niccol)
- Bend It Like Beckham (Chadha)

I'm actually really excited for all of these things. Plus, Penn left tickets for Roof to give to us. On the 10th of August, we're going to see Mariinsky Ballet's Swan Lake. I am thrilled.

As much as I'd like to go see Jude Law in Hamlet (and I might still) or as As You Like It at the Globe (and I might still), I might just want to spend the remainder of my fun money on seeing films around the city.

If you hear of any ethnic cinema that might be coming my way in the next few weeks, let me know. I guess as long as it's not American-made, it's considered ethnic, so lemme know!

Pip pip, cherrio and all that rot!
