THE MOFO CHILL CLUB

Congrats raul!

My opinion (and experience) is that with both film studies and especially Computer Science, the schooling is way far behind what is actually happening. Most of the important film criticism of the past century was informal, and it didn't really happen very much until well past the mid-century mark, and computer science has just developed too fast to keep up with properly. Both of those seem to be among the best and easiest fields to study independently of formal education. I'm minorimg in Computer Science at school, but basically to give me discipline that I wouldn't have via self-teaching. I've had one film class in college, but I learned far more on my own that semester than I did in that class.

I imagine film classes can only bolster your film education. I want to continue studying film, as well as develop and refine my skills in writing on cinema. Because film is my greatest passion, I don't want to study something else and have that consume my time, and have to put my film education by the wayside. I want it to be my #1 priority.

Therefore, I think it will be a good choice for me.

Of course education can (in most cases) only improve your knowledge and abilities. Do you go to school for film now, or are you planning on it? I would love to study film, but an academic career never appealed to me and I wasn't sure what else I'd do with a film related degree so I chose a different, extremely similar major, chemical engineering. While film is one of my deepest passions, like Daniel, I also really enjoy what I'm doing in school in addition to my film related activities.

Planning on it.

What a great day

Good to be back after some hiatus. How are all you "MoFo's" doing these days? Between the last time I was here and now, I was smoking five packs a day, (now quit the junk all together for a year now), and I'm headed back into college for a masters in Film and English, and (down the road when I chew on those for awhile), a degree in Mathematics. All things well here. (And btw, I LOVE the new site reboot! Amazing looking). Take care friends! Now I'm off to watch me a Movie!

I'm in too. Ps Business management is a decent degree.

Hey Dog! It's been awhile since we've seen you. Glad to hear your doing well and have quit the cigs.

Good for you! And once you do one interview and survive it, you'll have the confidence to put yourself out there for more. Or you may just land it the first time out. Good luck!

Good to see you back, DSM. Congrats on stopping smoking.

Welcome back, DSM. Thanks for the kind words--glad you like the relaunched site. And congrats on quitting!

Some one has to have seen both Delicatessen and Show Me Love. I really need someone to vote for one in my tournament so I can declare a winner.

Hi, everyone. I am back.

Good to have you back, man. Nice to hear things are well.


Though I beg to differ on the new site layout (sorry Chris).

Can't please everyone. Though the new layout's come awfully close.

What's everyone up to on a friday night?

Not much. Aunt came down to visit for a week. You?

Slow weekend. Going to how to train your dragon with the kiddos tomorrow. Tonight laundry. I am sooo 38

I saw the first How to Train Your Dragon. It was good, but it seemed a lot of people liked it more than I did. I don't have anything against it though.
