    So, by the way. Is this thing just still going because mods are asleep, or is this the end?

    I don't mean meaningful as in important, but rather that it's THERE with some prominence. It can be petty shit and still meaningful conflict.

    But hey, whatever. I'm not looking to convert anyone, or step on toes. I just like the show and the fandom around it.

    The only way to get away with that is to have the alt account's name be worse than your original account's name.

    You can take solace that, to me at least, you have cultivated a persona which makes it impossible for me to conflate you with a television program aimed at young girls.

    Thom if you are still here:

    If you're looking for theory, look no further than:

    http://www.amazon.com/What-Cinema-Vol-Andre-Bazin/dp/0520242270/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

    It's pretty heavy, but Bazin knows what he's talking about always. It's one of my favorite theory pieces.

    Alright, to bed.

    Thom, stay tuned. I'll pull out some other stuff later.

    The hard part is that an overview of film theory is really difficult.

    Like, Bazin is great and really cultivated auteurist theory, but at the same time could probably be at odds in basic principle with a theorist like Eisenstein.

    I guess that's the thing about theory everywhere, it's hard to start with an overview. I'd say look into some theory books in genres and movements that interest you, and then move onto other theorists and movements that are referenced in those works.

    I would actually HIGHLY recommend this book:
    http://www.amazon.com/Movies-Methods-Vol-v/dp/0520031512/ref=cm_lmf_tit_16

    Not only does it include a glossary of basic theoretical terminology, but it's also one of the only works that provides an overview broken down by genres and movements. You'll get a great overview of theorists and areas to explore.

    If you had to pick up one book, I'd pick up that one.

    Gonna head down to the bike shop tomorrow, I think. Got a photo project in my head that's gonna need a lot more bikes than I have. Will have to negotiate a way to cheaply access several, or possibly their stockroom, for an hour or two.

    There's also a music store nearby, or there was the last time I looked. Will check for its continued existence, and see if they've got any MIDI gear.
