So yeah, there will be more to come here.
Basically, this is a blog written by two college freshmen (Brendan and Emily) to track the progress of our winter term January 2010. The basic outline of our project is thus: We are taking the AFI Top 100 list, picking out some of the best and brightest among these hallowed films from each decade, then we will watch them. Our plan is to watch something in the order of 40 to 50 films over four weeks, starting the week of January 4th and ending the last week of January. As we watch films, we’ll be updating this blog with film reviews, reflections, comparisons, etc. etc. So nothing much will be posted here yet, but soon things will come!
If you are an Oberlin student and you want to watch these films with us, feel free! We’ll be posting what films we’ll be watching each week on here, and where we’ll be watching them. Right now we’re hoping to get access to a lecture hall on campus (probably in the science center) so that we can hold open screenings of the films, but we’re not entirely sure we can yet, so we’ll keep you posted. If we can’t get a lecture hall, we’ll probably hold screenings in whichever dorm common room has the nicest TV.
Anyway, we’ll keep you posted. For now, time to get back to the festivities. Have a happy Festivus, everybody!
