Movie week with Ms. Powers
Yes, movies! How could I be sad. We finished the Wizard of Oz yesterday. I haven’t watched it in a while… oh my lord, it is funny! And creepy. Which makes it even funnier. I miss the little kid movies of before, there aren’t enough weird ones nowadays. I mean, have you guys seen James and the Giant Peach? That is a trippy movie with a pretty depressing plot. The kid’s parents are killed by a rhino. That’s it. They don’t explain it, just ship him off to physically and mentally abusive aunts. And then he travels in a giant peach, with giant INSECTS. That sing.
Please, compare that to that space movie about flies that just came out.
Anyways, that was a tangent. Back to topic. I really like Unbreakable. It was slow at first, but man, once it pulls you in, it pulls you in. I was sad when Ms. Powers turned it off today. I think I’m going to use this as my essay movie, because I think it might be a bit tougher. I’m not sure which one to use yet though, because I keep thinking about the topics from lit class last year. Post-modernism is engrained in my brain, I’m pretty sure. (pastiche! pastiche! I always get a mental image of pistachios when I think of post modernism)
I made a new banner for this last Saturday morn. Most productive Saturday morning of my life, haha.
Well, that’s all. Goodbye!
