This interdisciplinary seminar uses creativity as an organizing principle. Human culture and consciousness are explored through reading, writing, the arts, projects, studios, and discussions. An emphasis will be placed the cultural artifact know as the movies or film or the cinema or motion pictures or flicks or history written in lighting, etc. Students will explore the basic building blocks of this cultural phenomenon, business giant, and central art form of the twentieth century.

In honor of Halloween, I invested a whole bunch of time in horror flicks. That would include renting several horror films (Halloween, Friday the 13th, etc). Also downloaded a documentary done by a guy named Zack. Zack has his own show on the Discovery Channel called "Ghost Adventures." Apart from Zack being a straight-up tattooed tool bag, the show seems relatively adventurous; maybe even legitimate. The documentary was done before Zach got his personal trainer and discovered hair gel, and took place in Arizona. He brought along two friends who acted as camera men to an old abandoned hotel which was said to host the 7th portal to hell. In the documentary, there is a scene where a brick is thrown across the room, some boards move, and other things shift. This is the kind of stuff that is scary to me. There is heavy breathing and a lot of Blair Witch point of views going on, with night vision being the guys' best friend. This is super scary and I was afraid to go to sleep. It is the stuff that seems real that makes it the scariest. Paranormal Activity was considered one of the scariest movies to come out in a while. Blair Witch was also a good one. After watching Hocus Pocus to calm my nerves (with Bette Midler and S.J. Parker), I did feel better- but now I am on a horror flick kick. I would love to redo Hocus Pocus as an actual scary movie...
