Dear DA,
I was cleaning last night and came across a number of essays I wrote in college, mostly film, but a few on philosophy, history, and other subjects. Would anyone be interested at all in reading them and discussing them or making fun of my writing ability 4-7 years ago?

A couple I thought might be interesting are the paper I wrote on Kubrick's "The Shining" and another on whether or not subjective documentaries have worth (with F 9/11 such a hot topic these days, it might be relevant).

If there's any interest, I just might put them in here for ****s and giggles.

Sincerely, your captain,
Jed

i'm interested in reading them. :)

Then you shall!

I'll read.

Yes.

Please keep in mind I was not a good student, and I'm not a very good writer, but I'll type 'em up for ya anyway. Should they be in my journal or somewhere else? IE Essay on the shining could be in Arts and Entertainment.

I'm down.

Applicable forum.

I'm game

I was asking more to see if there was interest than to see "who's up for it."

i would say in your journal only because i don't really wander around the board much.

i really should though. :(

either way, wherever you manage to place them, i'll read them. :)

OK, I'm "up" for it. Wait, I don't have one of those.....hmmm, well I'm still up for it, especially the F11 one.

I just met you, it's a little early to be sucking anything.

Was Doubling used in lord of the rings with the Gollum?
It was very interesting reading, Jed. I learned things I never knew, like how Kubrick uses mazes in his films. I thought it was just because it made for a scary scene, not because it shows how Jack’s conscious gets lost.

I enjoyed reading it. It kept my interest, so you must have good writing ability. I thought I would find it boring to be honest. :) :p

You responded in the wrong thread, nerd. :p

Yes, I suppose you could say there was some doubling with Gollum, but that's a bit different. Kubrick's doubling is because the monster is part of the man; in Gollum, the ring is responsible for making the man a monster.

Glad you enjoyed it :)
