Re: Fav. Activities

I spend a lot of time reading on the internet and doing my own research on different subjects. I've been doing this since I first got a computer. I usually look up a specific topic and end up reading for hours, and land on a completely different topic. I do this a lot with film; I read reviews, analyses, anything and everything on the topic.

I love to read in general but with school I just don't have the time to dedicate to a good book. Usually, I read something small (less than 300 pages) but when I don't have much to worry about, I love to read anything.

Other than that, watching movies. I did my own "film marathon" for the summer where I watched nearly 100 films. I love to watch films with my girlfriend, parents, and family because I like to hear what they think. I usually throw the idea of watching a movie to everyone, and usually they're all into it. I end up putting on a film I love, and try to see if the love is mutual. I did this with The Assassination of Jesse James, considering my mom hates westerns and slow-paced films. She, along with my father, ended up loving every bit of it.

I've been wanting to hold a movie-week with friends and family, but it seems they're all too busy to do that. I try my best to watch as many movies as I can; it usually ends up being 2 a week, although during the marathon it was more like 2 a day.

Other than that, I like staying home. I like being alone, even if it's with my girlfriend, rather that going out with people. I like thinking and taking things easy. If I have something on my mind, like I do now (my Math exam), I like to be alone instead of going out and forgetting about it.

Long post, eh?

Re: Fav. Activities

Reasearching different languages and their similarities, as well as other subjects.

Reading, though i haven't actually read anything in a while.

Gardening, but alas it's cold outside.

I love movies, and think that in high school there should be a lit class but taught with movies instead.

Swimming is fun also, but I don't have a swimming pool, and i hate the pool at our rec center


.....wow almost everything i like to do i can't do now.

I'm working on it.

No, seriously. My high school had a construction academy, cosmetology, theatre academy, etc. All of these are elective classes and theatre is the only one that can compare to film. We watched some movies in that class, there's an acting division where students can participate in plays, and they hold productions.

Well, film as an elective is an excellent idea because I think everyone (literally, everyone) enjoys movies. So why not an elective where students can learn more about film history and/or film production? Some schools, like the one my cousins go to, have already started a film academy and they have students produce their own short films. I think it's a great idea if we can bring this over to all high schools.

If we had this in my high school, I know I'd be more confident in taking a career into film. Instead of doing my own research and convincing myself I'd be okay.

Well, I didn’t mean like a “film” film class though, where you make your own short films or study production. I meant it to be as a class where you use movies as your literature. B/c movies have the same allusions, symbolisms, themes, character and plot analysis, writing styles, etc, as works of literature. It wouldn't be a class where you just watched books that have been made into movies though, there would be no Romeo and Juliet, crucible, great Gatsby, thats what normal lit is for. I mean films like the Gladiator, that are great works of their own, or some that wouldn’t be considered as great, like The Matrix, but still an important work in their genre.

Well, that's what film history is. I, too, don't really love the idea of film production in high school. I think it's best to save that for film school.

It would be great, however, to have a film history course. That's exactly what it's for, to study themes, characters, symbolisms. I think students at a high school level will be very interested because I can already see that interest in my younger cousin. Not just him, anytime I start talking about films with them, they're quite interested in learning more about the background of the work.
