I loved today’s class. I mean, we didn’t get very far-material wise- but I think days like these are necessary. I loved the random rants, and especially the topic of the difference between liking something and knowing that it is “good.” I can relate in almost everything that I do, because my movie tastes, as well as books, music and art (among MANY other activities) all range between respect and just enjoyment. As I grew older, it was sometimes hard for me to separate the two, because I am very opinionated and stubborn, and when I make up my mind, I don’t usually like to change it. For example, I LOVE the Evil Dead Trilogy, and other such amazing spectacles that make up B horror movies, and I also enjoy Rambo and other such examples of rampant killing. Even though Hannibal Rising got awful reviews (and rightly so especially when compared to Silence), like a critic I found who recognized its failure, we just couldn’t help enjoying ourselves throughout the entire movie. Then of course though, I appreciate Citizen Kane and Casablanca etc etc etc, and own copies of them, but they are the ones that I watch every couple years just because I know how well done they are. I also have a weak spot for Westerns…Fistful of Dollars and the whole Man with No Name Trilogy in particular, but also John Wayne’s, Jimmy Stewart’s and the Magnificent Seven series. Anyway, as I was saying, it’s the same with poetry etc. I love reading Jack Prelutsky’s children poems yet I just can’t make it through a Wordsworth. I know it’s good, but sometimes I just don’t have the willpower. I definitely think there’s a difference between liking and appreciating, especially because I am<\/em> an obsessive person and have fallen down the “liking” path way to often. I mean c’mon, Bruce Campbell with a chain saw as a hand killing Deadites…what could be more enjoyable?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
