Director movie club

OK, here we go. Click here to get to the list of directors you can choose from. Don't forget to have one person in your group comment on this post, and leave the following information: The names of everyone in your group, and your top three directors you'd like to study for this project, listed in order of preference. As soon as I let you know which director you're studying, you'll need to get crackin', because your first set of comments is due Feb. 18. Good luck!

Time for the Altman blog post? It's OK with me.

Here are some ideas for the Altman blog post (due Thursday):

o Discuss/analyze an important scene from one of the films
o Expand on a discussion question from class, whether from a film or a reading
o Make a connection to the real world/current events
o Discuss/analyze an aspect of cinematic style important to the film(s)
o Discuss/analyze a topic or theme important to the film(s)
o Relate it to another film, either from class or personal viewing
o Discuss ideas for future viewing inspired by the film(s)
