My last semester at CSUCI was the first semester of lockdown, and those months got pretty weird. My sense of time got all mushed- that spring break lasted a solid month, basically. Then I had to spend the rest of the semester recovering from dissociating so hard. My capstone...

I had an elective requirement to fill during that last semester, and it was almost a crisis. I wasn’t able to register until several weeks after the window opened (the housing dept was insisting I cough up $6k for a dorm I’d never occupied, pure theft), so I’d already...

My last semester included two environmental classes. First was the parks course from which the Wrigley presentation was posted. The other was pols340, politics and the environment. The professor was the same as the essay-heavy Comparative/Race professor, so I was perhaps asking for trouble, but the lockdown turned all...

I skipped over a question set from this module, the responses for Wag the Dog. The movie was only ok, and the writing didn’t really add anything to the experience so I gave it a pass. I’m liking the writing here though. “At least he’s not doing drugs” lol....

Weird- here’s another one where I remember doing the writing more than I remember the actual film. How are ratings portrayed as significant, and do you think your viewing practices affect a network’s decisions? Ratings are both a cash equivalent and a measure of professional stature in the broadcast...

There’s been bunches of writing lately, I kinda wanted a little break from that. Decided to pull this from its place later in line to break up the pace here. This was the last semester, and I was really just looking for classes that would fit around the remaining...

Compare the character of Lonesome Rhodes from A Face In The Crowd with the title character in Bob Roberts. What do these characters say about each filmmaker’s view of the common man in America?  What do these characters tell us about corruption in the American political system (and the...

God, I hated this movie. That’s all I remember about it; how irritating it was to watch. Still liking my writing though. A Pulp Fiction joke, ‘noble civil savages’, there’s some good stuff in here. A Face in the Crowd How does the film end? In the final scene...

I was reading through for a last edit, and through question after question, I couldn’t for the life of me remember watching the movie, or anything about it. I remember writing this, but not watching what I was writing about. Still I enjoyed the reading. Some legit future-predicting commentary...

There were three movies in this module- All the President’s Men, Good Night/Good Luck, and Shattered Glass. There were no question sets for Shattered Glass, which was good because I didn’t actually watch it. I sat through maybe the first half-hour and then had to walk away. Hayden Christensen...
