This is the first post for my Cinematic Modernism blog, exploring the exciting world of modernity and cinema through the art of watching modern cinema. Leastways, that's how I understand this course is supposed to be.
The title of this post might seem out of place, but I am doing three English subjects this semester and thus far both of the others have mentioned Bill & Ted, in either their Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey incarnations. I thought that Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves might want a piece of this action, too - it's a brave new English Faculty, that has such films in it.
As someone who tried to claw his eyes out at last sight of The Andalusian Dog, Cinematic Modernism is something of a leap for me. I like film, and it looks like this course might not fall victim to the horrid disease that plagues mankind through experimental film - scientific term Viridiana.
At any rate, there's not a lot you need to know about me beyond the fact that I waffle like all get out. I can be found elsewhere on the internet at Batrock, which should be updated more than it is. It's about movies and all sorts of other trivialities. My boring adventures can be found on livejournal, but they are boring and nobody likes livejournal. Or do they? It is not my place to know.
So let us now embark, my fellow students, on an adventure "most triumphant", and preferably less overbearingly pretentious than this collection of words!

i can wholeheartedly agree with your opinions on those weird foreign movies from film and history and i'm hoping the movies in this course are more accessible, but i'm guessing that probably won't be the case. the bill and ted movies were awesome, i'm glad they're finally being appreciated as the works of genius i always upheld them to be. a goo blog, as far as i know, and i'm lucky i did that subject and therefore understood your jokes.
It is a constant battle for a man to have his jokes understood.
