Film and Lit, 1/18/07, period 1
There was a large pot of coffee in one corner of the room. There were cups, making it look at least like it was for everyone, but Daisy was definitely hovering over this part of the room, and seemed to be drinking rather a lot of the coffee herself.
"Hey, everyone. We're going to start right in, today, with a film that stars one of the few modern actors who's worth anything." She started passing out information sheets. "This is Edge Sprinter, based on a novel called Do Robots Dream of Fake Goats. Those are information sheets on both, along with a clip of the movie and a bit of the novel. It'd be great if for homework you guys were to try to read the book and/or watch the whole movie, but I'm not really expecting it."
Daisy hit the lights, and a twenty minute moddable clip of the movie started up. When it was done, she turned the lights back on. "Okay, for those who didn't fall asleep, let's start discussing. What did you notice about the movie? What were the themes? How are they different from the themes in the book excerpt? What wouuld you do differently?"
[ooc: I swear, the next class will be better. I've been distracted by shoulder issues and am in a bit of a rush to post this from work. OCD on its way is up.]
