It probably wouldn't hurt if you knew something about Walter Pater too.

I want/require you to post your critical response to the film. If you want a touch more background info look it up on imdb or a quick synopsis on wikipedia. Post now, post often. EDIT: As you know, we watched TPB instead. Same Rules apply.

If you are feeling particularly on the ball, you might want to think about what this essay has to do with Film etc.

I will be bringing a short piece in that we will be reading as a class.

If you require journal fodder: Write about what you liked or disliked or both in the last film you saw.

The Greatest Album Ever Made
and Kraftwerkfeature
Those of you who are feeling enterprising can go out and listen to Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" or something by Kraftwerk for added perspective (I would recommend either "Pocket Calculator" or "Trans Europe Express")

For Wednesday the reading will be:
Christgau, "Creative Censorship"
Azerad, "The Messenger"

Your Journal suggestion for this week: Write a record review.

Have a good weekend.
