Setting Up Shop

After having (for all intents and purposes) completed my work and achieved the status of unofficial, pseudo-completeness (which will be in about an hour very official and not pseudo at all), I've basically started my ISP.

Today, I ran around to various faculty members and administrators with questions as to where I should be embarking on my cinematic journey (which empty classroom) and where I'd be getting my projection system. It then dawned on me that perhaps I'll use the room that was probably built for me! The Screening Room!

The Screening Room was built with the Hostetter Arts Center a couple of years ago and contains all sorts of doohickeys and whatnots that somehow end up displaying a gorgeous picture on a more than substantially sized screen (about 7 feet from corner-to-corner by my eyes). In my opinion, the room was a poor investment considering its lack of use, but now I get to take advantage of Amos' silly decision. No offense Mr. Hostetter. Seriously, the Arts Center is awesome!

I'll include pictures once I find a camera of my exact setup - perhaps even a video?

Anyway, I brought in a folding lawn chair (the screening room is not home to comfortable furniture) and sat down and watched my first movie today: Eat Drink Man Woman (review following this post).

But wait! That film was made in 1994! That's no classic! (I know you're thinking this. Don't be shy.)

Well, as I said before, my completion is very unofficial. My sole remaining assignment was (is) a short essay for Mr. Keating's Freedom class. The catch, however, is that the essay had to be on one of the two movies that we watched in class, and I decided to do a review of Eat Drink Man Woman. So, though I wasn't actually complete. I got to watch a movie today. And, though this technically doesn't count for my ISP, I will be publishing a review in due time.

So, I'm on my way. I have off during 1st and 5th periods, but otherwise, I'll probably be up in the Screening Room glued to the projector. If you'd like to join me, do so, but don't talk during the movie unless I talk first!

Tomorrow, I plan on watching Citizen Kane in the morning and either Modern Times or Singin' In The Rain in the afternoon depending on how much time I have. Come on up!
