Grab the tissues…it’s gonna get hardcore!
Here’s a present for anyone who’s looking for some action tonight. Check out the condensed movie Love Story along with the smooth-groovin’ sex jam (and theme song) as performed by Andy Williams. Be safe, meaning stay away from sharp things. … Continue reading
Final thoughts on Jo March…
With our closing up of Little Women and its three film adaptations, I was trying to figure out which actress best portrayed the beloved firecracker. Definitely not 1949’s June Allyson. She’s chatty, annoying, and her cheesy smile hurts me. In … Continue reading
Gates To Heaven

Williams and Hansen FTC Thoughts
I thought the first topic I would cover in my blog would be about my presentation from yesterday, as well as the 2.1 presentation. I’ve been thinking about the “weepie†film that is mentioned in the Williams essay. Today when … Continue reading
The Amygdala and the “Uncanny Valleyâ€
What’s the deal with this woman? Meet Ripliee. She’s an android designed to resemble a human. (For some reason the Japanese are obsessed with building realistic android women…) She’s the result of decades of work, yet it was probably immediately … Continue reading
