One of the things that I want to with this blog is start writing about films again. For those NOT in the know, I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Film and Culture. Mainly, I like to look at films and see how the film was influenced by the times and how the times was influenced by the film. Mainly, I got to think big thoughts about movies and got a degree while doing it.
What I think I may do is every Thursday, I'll post up a small paper I wrote for one of my classes with some thoughts / explanations of WHY this paper, WHY this topic.
One of the things that I walked away from during my college years was a strong sense of female representation within film and frequently how there is a lack of strong female characters on the screen. I later wrote my senior thesis on the Action Heroine and the Science Fiction Film and has been a large focus for me when thinking about... well anything. In this paper you can see the beginnings of my focus (I believe that I may have lifted some concepts from this paper for the thesis, but I digress) as well as my general amusement with Galaxy Quest.
I hope you enjoy. ✩
