I love going to Emerson, I really do. I've met some very cool and talented people here.
That being said, a lot of people here need to be stabbed in the throat.
Repeatedly.
My lecture class in intro to media production is a veritable who's who of that list. Yesterday was spent watching these short little abstract films that sucked. Just plain sucked. "But Sean, the director's use of color cleverly-" Stop. They sucked. Here was the pattern for two hours
1.)Teacher shows crappy abstract short
2.)Teacher asks class what they thought of crappy short
3.) Students fight tooth and nail amongst themselves to be the first to say how much they loved and understood crappy short.
Guys, just because you get it doesn't mean it's good. Everyday people put out regular moves that are understood, but still suck. These are just a sort of film where sucking is like the goal. Reproduced for you here is an actual student response to one film, and believe me when I say I'm not making this up: "I love how the director used the carborator to symbolize testicles." The director used a carborator to symbolize his balls. And this guy LOVED IT. What ISN'T wrong with that picture? The sad thing is that this kid was right. Carborator= Balls is what this director was going for.
I'm sad to say that thanks to this class I've now actually been witness to a group masturbation session. Cuz that's all it is, two hours of these clowns sucking their own dicks about how great they are for loving this abstract art crap. People, art film makers are no better than a 10 year old making movies in in his backyard with a camcorder and some action figures:
Whoopie, look what I can do. Mommy, give me a cookie and tell em what a good job i did. The only difference is that just like nobody outside of my little circle 10 years ago cared about my stupid kid crap, nobody outside of your hippy art freak cirlce will give a shit when you make a movie about a man putting on his socks and call it a metaphor for sex and how Men walk over women.
Oh, Look! Did anybody see what i just did? By capitalizing the word Man, and not woman I've artistically implied that men are better than women! Did any one catch that? Oh, but look- I also capitalized the word Mommy so is that me saying that I think mothers are equal to men? I don't know, and I don't need to. I can just wait for someone else to form a conclusion and if I like it I can just nod and say "Yeah, that's right. Good for you, you understood the symbolism."
And then we brake out the cookies.
