Who is the world's worst film student ever?

Hello?!  Is anybody there?

Welcome to my blog about film, her vulgar little brother television, and the crazy-mixed-up culture that allows for it to exist.  

My education is in film but I never quite fit in with my fellow students.  I was raised on 1950's musicals and wasn't allowed to watch R rated movies.  There were bound to be gaps.  I did my best to ingratiate myself in film culture but there were times, for instance, when a friend would mount a viewing of Eraserhead, that I would opt to watch The Sweetest Thing on VHS in my dorm room...again. 

In short, my taste is questionable.  

Put more elegantly, however, I would argue that there is something to be said for embracing the "bad" with the "good" - and even the ugly good.  I am not above the pretension of cinema.  (I am hella pretentious - why else would I have a blog?) I simply like entertainment - in all its forms.   

So in that spirit - let us celebrate that which entertains.  

And perhaps I will finally watch The Godfather.
