3L Apathy

So, in talking to everyone else in their 3rd year of law school it strikes me that everyone including yours truly has been suffering from a lack of motivation. Summer just apparently wasn't long enough for every although I can't tell you how much more time we would have needed. However, the ultimate display came to today when someone fell asleep in class. Now you might say that this has happened before and you would be right, hell I've nodded off before, but this time was different. I distinctly heard someone snore during class. I'm just amazed.

Donnie Darko

Alright, so I finnally watched this film (thanks dude) after I've been meaning to for a long time. So what did I think? Well, I'm still absorbing it but I did like it and I would recomend it to anyone. However, I do have one problem with it. After watching the film I created a theory of what happened and why that made sense to me. Now that I watched the deleted scenes and part of the commentary I realized I was completely wrong. I think that the filmmakers idea is very interesting and does really explain a lot of what happens in the film as well as working very nicely into Joseph Conrad's concept of a hero. The problem is the orginal film did not make the thesis and point very clear. There were several major scenes that were cut out that would completely explain everything clearly. Anyway, good film if anyone wants to discuss it come talk to me.

Horay for Censorship

So here's part of a story (sorry for the partial story but the entire thing would cost money) relating to the Passion of the Christ:

"Malaysia's Film Censorship Board has given "The Passion of the
Christ" a U rating, uncut, opening it up to all ages, but has slapped on a
surprise restriction: You have to be a Christian to see it, Screenings will be
held at public cinemas, but tickets will be available only through churches, not
at box offices. The pic will not be advertised in the media..." - Source Variety
