Watched the full-length three-hour version of "Birth of a Nation" for Film tonight. Please to never again sit through a movie where I'm supposed to root for the Klan.

Yes, it was a technical and cinematic marvel for its time. But jesus gay.

And my ten AM tomorrow is cancelled, but I don't get to lie around in bed and gloat, because I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to wash some brick and oyster shell. Three lab hours down, thirty-seven more to go! *ragged cheer*

God, I'm a downer tonight. That stupid movie really put me in a rotten mood. At least now I can say I've seen it, and I don't ever have to watch it again.
Music:: sweet, cleansing mtv
Mood:: 'dirty, and not in a good way' dirty, and not in a good way

Isn't "Birth of a Nation" a disgusting film? I mean, seriously, the last scene with Jesus welcoming the KKK into Heaven with open arms... Seriously!

What other films do you have to watch for that class?

::shudders:: It made me feel so bad.

All kinds of good stuff -- Casablanca, Citizen Kane, City Lights, Singin' In the Rain, Do the Right Thing, Bonnie and Clyde, Adam's Rib, The Searchers, The Godfather...this is why I can't bring myself to drop it...

Some of those films I watched in my film class, others I had to see on my own. We watched Fatal Attraction, uncut. It was fun. LOL I've never heard a bigger group of men freak out so much (collectively) in my life.
How many credits is your film class?
OH! I'm almost done with "Rain." Do you want me to e-mail it to you when I'm finished?
