<< Perpetual Mario Machine | Main | Dodgeball >> September 24, 2007 >> Assisted Learning As usual, I am enjoying being a T.A. Chris: "Okay so elevator cinema refers to films that rely on layered realities, right? Like in the movies 13th Floor, or eXistenZ. But not the Matrix. That only has one layer of reality." Class: *blank stares* Chris: "Oh right, you guys grew up on Power Rangers and shit. Okay, so imagine you're having this dream where you are fighting all these pumpkin-headed monsters and then you wake up. WHEW! Only a dream! But then a pumpkin-head monster kicks down your door and you realize that you're still in the dream. And then you wake up again and go WHEW! Because the dream is over. You're actually on an airplane taking an uncomfortable nap. But then a pumpkin-head monster appears outside your window... it's flying! It's flying! It's gonna mess you up! And then you wake up. What's real? What's virtual? These are the questions which define elevator cinema." Class: ? Chris: "I can see you understand." *Class draws a myriad of pictures of me being attacked and/or terrified by pumpkin-headed monsters as positive feedback that class has been a SUCCESS! Also a few queries: "What are you going to be for Halloween?"* Posted by Chris at 10:24 PM >> Commentations (3)
