Yay for awesome professors and their sweet-ass valentine's day gifts!
so i actually got a valentine's day present i liked...my prof. came into my cinema class today, bitching at all of us for not getting him any cards or bars of chocolate, and was like "i'm so dissapointed since i did spend all fucking weekend tracking down a damn copy of It Came From Outerspace in 3-D"
and the ENTIRE class erupted into cheers...and then we all simultaneously realized how big of nerds we were, but kept clapping anyway.
so yeah, pretty much best cinema class ever, I got to watch one of the ORIGINAL prints (from the VAULT) of It Came From Outerspace in full 3-D glory (complete with SWEET glasses that we got to keep) and it was soooooo much fun, because everyone was screaming and cheering when aliens shot lasers and dumped rocks on us and what not. it's moments like these that i realize, oh yeah, there is a reason i transfered to this damn school. their film program is a-fuckin-mazing.
oh, and fuck roman polanski. i usually think i'm pretty immune to being really scared to horror films...not the "ooo loud noise!" jump kind of scared, but the "i don't want to go home alone or look in the mirror anymore" kind of scared...but EVERY SINGLE TIME that fucker polanski manages to SCARE ME SHITLESS and tonight was no different. Repulsion is his first english film and it disgusts me how terrifying and good it is. The man is a damned genius. I think maybe we're just afraid of the same things, (and we have the same taste in women, oddly...i always want to do his actresses.) but whatever it is, he sure has a knack for terrifying the FUCK out of me.
hrm. maybe i'll just sleep naked. then i won't have to go into the bathroom until it's daylight.
all for now
