I'm studying right now for my Senior Film Theory midterm (well...not RIGHT NOW right now, obviously), which will be this Tuesday, and you don't realize how many freakin' theories there are about movies. Psychoanalytic film theories, structuralist/poststructuralist film theories, deconstructivism, feminist film theories, semiology, queer theories (guess what THAT one is about) and Oedipus trajectories... All this correlates to describing the story and structure of a film and how audiences react to them. The feminist film theory, personally, PISSES ME OFF the most...since there are SO MANY pages to read about it in my textbooks (That, and the texts about Third Cinema and Third World Cinema. Yes, there's a difference between the two)!! But I like the pyschoanalytic film theory and the Oedipus trajectory... because those concepts objectify women and make them subservient to men. Just kidding... about my sexist remark. But IT'S TRUE, about what I said about those concepts! Hey, blame that on Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan! More on them and their explanation to why most women have bisexual tendencies later. Don't believe me, ladies? Read up on the profiles of most import models online!


UPDATE: Did any of you see the 8:00 PM episode of The Simpsons today? It spoofed The Phantom Menace with a movie called Cosmic Wars: The Gathering Storm. Despite the fact The Simpsons is like, 5 YEARS LATE in having this major parody...this episode gave a hilarious indictment on the prequels and George Lucas carrying more about digital technology than storyline. Pretty funny. So anyways... General Grievous is gonna rule in Episode III! He's gonna be the NEXT DARTH MAUL! (Thinks about what happened to Maul at the end of Episode I...) No wait...

Don't you guys like it how I always contradict myself over the prequels? One minute I'm calling Lucas a biatch for the failure of The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, the next minute I'm posting up several photos of that General Grievous fella on this page! Make up your mind, Parman! Anyways, it's almost 10:00 at night, and I have to get back to studying!!! But before I do... Here's an old pic of Britney Spears. She can't sing for squat, but I'd still do her.


Bang me baby, one more time
