My law professor's sick today. I guess this means I can watch 24 during my 1 1/2 hour break. No, wait. It means I can return King Kong to the video store. I'm still wondering why the hell my professor picked that, of all movies, to watch. Although the dialogue was certainly...inspirational. "Anne...I...uh...uh...say, I think I love you." "But Jack, you hate women!"

And it's Sherman's March: A Mediation to the Possibility of Romantic Love in the South During an Era of Nuclear Weapons Proliferation today in autobiographical films, which is just brilliant (despite what [livejournal.com profile] beechball may say), but I've seen it before so I have the option of ditching the screening if need be.

Ross McElwee: I filmed, um, Dede washing her dog, and I filmed, um, Steve going to the music company where I used to work.
Ross's father: There, now. How is that going to be useful?
Ross McElwee: In this film?
Ross's father: Just in any film.

The reading of my Alan monologue (for everyone following this thrilling tale) was...amusing. I got stuck with the gum-chewing sycophant who sits next to me, so she completely...it was just bad. But funny. And the teacher said Alan had a "distinctive voice," which, well, damn straight. But he liked the original stuff, too.

That class has some great writers in it. Some of the monologues were hilarious. "Campbells, motherfucka!"
