Deep discussion on Grounhog's Day and the movie.
-Additive and Parataxis "word for word" linked from Ong's first chapter on blog.
- "Do you do things that you've done the day before?" "Can anyone do tell us about their rituals?"
- The overacting in the movie is one of the things that made it so memorable.
~ What is it about these movies, like "Karate Kid", that keep these around?
**** The Myth of the Eternal Return - Myth is that people believe things come around and around and around. ****
- The town in Groundhogs Day becomes a memory theatre.
- He's asking us for lines from our favorite movie.
~Someone in his other class says they watched, "Three Amigos" 112 times. He thought this was strange at first, then thought that this is what life is all about, finding something to repeat and go to over and over again.
- Lynn's blog gives us a list - a long list - of important, memorable things that have to do with violent. Memorable because of those things.
- Carly got maddelyns and remembers opening all them in class because when she did there was nasty green mold all over them. She was probably a little embarassed.
**** His requirement is for us to watch Groundhog Day. ****
- He's going to remember the things that she has told him and will use those things he remembers from the days past because he's been in the same day. The message of the movie is to, ***"PAY ATTENTION!"***
- There are plenty of things to discover in each day.
- Groundhog Day is highly important to this class... it must be because we're still talking about it. He's talking about the literary people who are sitting in the town around him, and when he asks them how they would like to live the same day over and over, they tell him that it sounds just like their actual lives.
- June 16th, 1902 - Bloom's Day - Leopold Bloom from Ulysses - A whole day in 850 pg. book that lives on in inphamy - Joyce made sure the world knew about this day that was so important to him so that people would remember it - Joyce made sure that every event actually happened in real life that had happened in the book.
