Term Paper in Horror Film

khanaThe most awesome thing ever?
I asked the professor in 'Between Fear and Fascination - something or other gender related in the Horror Film Genre' today if it would be okay to write my term-paper (~15 pages) on horror film aspects in a 'modern' TV-series, like maybe Supernatural or Buffy (or both, we'll see), and she said yes.
Wheeee!
I can write a term-paper - and get a fucking Literaturwissenschafts-Leistungsschein - on Buffy! OMG!
(I thought of this after we heard an oral report on Interview with the Vampire today, saw the scene in which Lestat wrings out a rat into a goblet for Louis to drink, and mentioned to Nadine how this was rather funny. And the only thing even more funny, vampire-drinking-blood related I could think of right then was Angel and/or Spike drinking microwaved blood from a coffee mug. Idea born. Maybe this is a good starting point. How do these series turn old concept of horror movies on their heads - something like that. We'll see.)
Oooooh, exited!
EDIT: Also, if you want to do a presentation on Interview, better mention all the details, especially the fact that one of the vamps is in love or something with the other and there is or might be or whatever homoeroticism, because whoa, beware of the fangirls!
(There were two of those today. Unnerving! Not nearly as much as the guy who did the presentation on werewolves, though. 'To die' =/= today, srsly. (There was more like that. Was really a pain to listen to.) And also, they did their presentation so much too long! Holy shit. We have 3 1/2 hours every two weeks, and they used those UP, just to tell us that Mystic Horror consisty mainly of vampires and werewolves, what dracula is and where the myth comes from, what the plot of Interview is and ... I'm not really sure if the werewolf-guy had anything important to say. They didn't even get around to the part on 'Cat People'. Ye gods! You had three fucking hours!
Next time, on the 9th of January, it's out turn, giving a presentation on splatter movies and apocalyptic scenarios. We'll detail the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the new version of The Hills Have Eyes, and 28 Days Later (the latter mainly because we were three people, wanted to pick another film and I happe to actually like that one. Also, there was nothing so far on zombies whatsoever.) We plan on geting this done in 60-90 minutes, leaving plenty of time for the group of today to finish their final topic and maybe even talk a little about the films. Need to remember to take my speakers, though. The ones the prof has sound terrible! Today, they had some weird grasshopper-chirping going on. And I mean the boxes, not the presentation. Quite annoying.)

Vielen Vielen Dank Dir, für Socken und Musik und Espesso (jetzt muss ich wohl rausfinden, wie man das Macht, hm? Mit der normalen Kaffeemaschine ja nun nicht... mal sehen.) - und das Bild, das schicke. *drückt* Vielen Dank! Und für die Karten, die ich gerne genutzt hätte, wenn die Post es nicht versemmelt hätte. Möh!
Nun ja, danke jedenfalls! Bin sehr gespannt, was ich auf den vielen CDs so finde... *drückt nochmal*

Die Socken sind super, und bis zum Knie passen sie auch entsprechend gut, aber die letzten paar Zentimeter des overknee-Teils schnüren mir die Durchblutung ab. o.O (Und ich bin nicht dick, ehrlich. Eben auch nicht magersuchtig oder so, aber... möh! *schlägt das obere Ende um*)

Date: 2007-12-22 03:27 pm (UTC)und mach dir keinen kopf, das kann man ja echt nicht riechen. im großen und ganzen passen sie ja auch, sind dann nur eben nicht ganz so lang, wie die verpackung versprach.
jau, auf rumrupfen oder sowas wirds wohl rauslaufen.
(Und irgendwann zieh ich einen schwarzen rock drüber und das schwarz-weiße Ringelshirt und geh als emo, oder so. *g*)
