I want to take some completely random, crazy elective in my last semester as an undergrad. Something like whittling. Or midwivery.

We're watching "The Human Stain" this week in Maltin's class. Blech. This movie looks horrible, has gotten bad reviews, and is the kind of film I generally despise: arty, pretentious, serious. All of which = dull. Why do people make boring movies? Why not make fun, interesting, cool movies? This is why I don't understand the industry bias against science fiction and fantasy; they look down on movies that are actually entertaining, while hyping movies that just look painfully boring. Sigh.
