BlogOsphere Assaulted by Self-Important College Essays!

Paul — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 20:46:04 +0000

I’ve had some of the essays and scripts I’ve written up on my writing page for some time. Unfortunately, I’ve been too lazy to transfer the documents from their Word format and make them into actual blog posts. Until today!

I haven’t transfered all of them because it is a tedious process to format things properly and link up the citations (I know I can get some plugin, but this really doesn’t warrant it.) I started with my four essays on Mulholland Drive from one of my film classes in college. The idea was that everyone chose a movie at the beginning of the semester and then wrote four essays on that film throughout the course as certain topics were covered. These are my four.

I honestly haven’t read these since I wrote them except for the bits I caught during the transfer process. It’s very possible that these are kinds of pompous, uninformed and pretentious allegories about David Lynch and film in general that get one “banned” from the “internet”. Enjoy!

- Mulholland Drive: Introduction

- Mulholland Drive: Semiotics

- Mulholland Drive: Ideology and Feminism

- Mulholland Drive: Spectatorship and the Avant-Garde
