Things My Girlfriend And I Have Argued About

Margret doesn’t like to watch films on the TV. No, hold on - let me make sure you’ve got the inflection here: Margret doesn’t like to watch films on the TV. She says she does, but years of bitter experience have proven that what she actually wants is to sit by me while I narrate the entire bleeding film to her.

Just
as with the original, you hold the camera at waist level and look down
into the pop-up viewfinder. No longer ground glass, the viewfinder is
an LCD. This camera positioning puts subjects at ease– all old-time
Hollywood stars had their portraits taken with the original Rolleiflex.

Live…uhh…life-like from Japan, it’s the Fuccon Family!

The story of a three-mannequin American family who has moved to Japan, welcome to the bizarre world of OH! Mikey. First shown on late-night Japanese television called "Vermillion Pleasure Night", this show has spawned a complete DVD collection of its own. Fashionably hip and gut-splitting funny, the Fuccon Family and their circle of friends and acquaintances won’t fail to entertain. Once you see The Fuccon Family, you’ll love them.

The Floating Logos project is inspired by signs perched high atop very tall poles so that they may be viewed from a long distance away. When standing next to these poles, the signs loom over us in such a way that we must crane our necks to see them. The elimination of the poles helps to accentuate the ominous feeling of being beneath these signs as well as serve to disconnect the signs from the ground and reality. The ground is purposefully left out of these images in order to emphasize the disconnect, but hints of terra firma are included in the forms of trees, wires, light poles, buildings and other land-based objects. The floating effect is intended to give the signs a supernatural quality that is meant to call attention to the hegemonic role consumerism and advertising play in our society.

I know I haven’t seen the movie yet, I know it is wrong to judge a book by its cover–err, a movie by its poster–but come on. I have several problems with the idea of this movie; cast, premise, and franchise.

The problem with the cast is that it reads like one of those ensemble things made back in the ’70’s; you know, The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, and the Circus of the Stars. My problem with the cast is not that I dislike any of them, quite the contrary, it is a dream cast (especially that Katie Holmes, mmmm Katie Holmes). There in lies the problem; whenever a dream cast is assembled it is done to cover some major flaw–I call it the Airport ‘XX syndrome.

Is the fire, which all the star-powered smoke belies, the premise of the movie–could be. I mean, and listen close here you Hollywood types who may stumble across this site, it has been done. Ok? It has been done. Asked and answered. Move on! George Lucas is responsible for creating and destroying the prequel, and no matter how hard you try the bar has been set so low that you are gonna get dirty when you try and limbo under it.

To top it all off, the Batman franchise has been soiled. I thought that after Vile Kilmer and Jim Carrey defecated on film, ate it, and then regurgitated it onto the big screen that the franchise was dead–I was wrong. I was dead sure that George Gooney and Chris O’mygodIcan’tact had heart-punched it (my favorite line is: "Wholey rusted metal Batman!" it’s funny because it was metal and it was…ahh neve mind.)–again I was wrong. But I will bet the farm that if the producers decide to rename the film, Batman Croaks, they won’t be far wrong.

The distinguishing feature of the Cornell system is the
layout of the pages on which you take your notes. The page layout includes large
margins on the left and bottom of the page. A picture of this layout (not to
scale), with dimensions, is shown below. A discussion of the 3 areas of the
Cornell system page follows. Finally, an example of the Cornell system is
provided (typed for neatness), using actual notes from the Chem 104 lecture
given on 1/24/96.
