the groundhog day project

Hell is sexy. And fun. And, it doesn't matter how much you use people or manipulate people, you're going to make it on Broadway (or wherever) and everything will be fine. These are the lessons of Staying Alive for seven-year-old me. The obvious reaction some might have is that Jackie shouldn't take Tony back... Except for two things: 1) they aren't really together in the beginning of the film and he is quite honest--at first, anyway--about not being exclusive; in fact, he indicates to... Unnamed girl early on that he thinks they are in a relationship and she counters (IMDb quotes wrongly attributes this line to Laura): "Guys like you aren't relationships; you're exercise"; 2) she also hooks up with Carl. As Laura says... well, check today's title above. Tony and Jackie use each other so they don't have to feel alone in between their flings with other people. Tony and Jackie use each other for support when they get rejected after auditions. ...

1. I am currently "watching" Stargate SG-1 - "Window of Opportunity" and playing Carcassonne . I watched Groundhog Day this morning. 2. Yesterday's blog entry was not good. It was so not good that I don't even want to link to it here like I usually would. I do not want that trash just one click away... even though it's right over there in the list of links on the right. 3. Time has passed, so forget #1 and Tru Calling - "The Last Good Day" is on now. Role switch for Tru and Jack, and Tru's father says to Jack some crap about how his role has always been to make sure the day ended just like it did last time.

Hell, maybe that's why Phil Connors was repeating his day. He was there to make sure the Old Man died. So, other than the ...

I've mentioned, of course, how one of my papers this fall quarter was on the cinematic Christ-Figure. I shared a bit of it a while back . That section got broken up a little and there was a separate introductory bit added and... well, don't worry, I'm not going to share the whole paper. The prospectus actually worked out well enough, that doing the research is doable. So, I'll hold onto it for now. That being said, I'd like to take a position today that would probably be a part of my conclusions in the final paper that would come from that research. See, the scale I plan to use-- (Keep in mind, the prospectus was supposed to be written as if we intended to go ahead with the research afterward, and so I will also write of it here in the same terms. So, when I say "I plan" to use" this scale, imagine it, if you must, as "were I to go ahead with this research, I would use." I will necessarily be writing in definitive terms for brevity while e...
