Cinemagic

 Enjoy the magic of the movies

Magic as in going outside of dominant or oppressive systems, see religious studies

I offered a film appreciation class which I named Cinemagic because I wanted the name to be unique and approach movies even though in an academic setting also in a unique setting or way

I wanted it in a real way and to examine directors as well as the different elements that make up a film

What I really loved was because I crossed listed it with Mass media, I had many mass media students who were excited and wishing to learn more about aatuer Theory

At the University I teach at has a focus of mass media filmmaking as in actually getting your hands on cameras and making films, as well as now the storytelling and cinematic storytelling, this was a unique opportunity to really focus on each element weekly as well as then parallel with directors

I'm still having my doubts about Ted. Because it's easy to see Arrested Development and many of these films. And many times their disguised as comedies. Like the Adam Sandler films, just very inappropriate especially towards women. I hated that movie where he kept bringing up that the lawyer had been someone who worked at Hooters and that became one of the funny aha endings to the movie.

I'm looking at Arrested Development that a character characters or family have those traits

Summer movies part 2

 Alongside how these familial drama movies show us how parent-child rebonding is the theme, there's also the issue about water.

Jaws was the first movie I could remember seeing at the drive-in but I mean is that as we were driving by the drive-in movie theater where the screen was way in the distance I could see jaws the scene of water I just remember people you know the shark in scene you know from point of view

Also when I was in the movie theaters for that James Bond movie where Adele sings This is the End close your eyes and count to 10 I immediately was Ray triggered and stuck in my seat as I thought of my first swimming lessons

I could finally go through my fear of water through going to Texas just this as they say once in a lifetime experience of seeing the ocean for the first time. The Beauty and the play from the water park. I thought of writing that how do I teach poetry in a way or even lead workshops that it's about how words are beautiful and arranging them in ways and then the play of arranging them

Part of this thinking came from the summer before when I went to naropa as part of the summer writers conference. Again I was really wonderful to have a school to help support me and all of that staff but I went as a student. It was there that CA Conrad gave me the way the ritual for helping heal from summer as well as those who were into horoscopes that I was a Leo Sun and Moon as well as a Leo

Imposter syndrome

 It's if looking at the hero's journey, We're Young says a lot of that as individuation or what we would call self-actualization, then it's that balancing that leads us to knowing how we can access each of the archetypes within us for whatever is needed. That we all carry some degree of each of the 12 archetypes and so whatever we're called to do we pull within us and the more self-actualized we are the easier it is to recognize how to pull each or Blended hybrid of archetypes.

Follow the clues

 I like how things pop up on Instagram that lead me further to exploring when I'm interested in. I like how some looks laid me to same other books by the same author that exactly what I'm looking for. Like Helen O'Hara going from a superhero book two women versus hollywood. I want to write the Memoir that has nothing to do with me. I want the Memoir that isn't just about my life for me, like I'm reading in so many other books. I want to write the Memoir that doesn't brag or show or even tell people anything didactic or show off who I know. Just like the ecruite feminine inspires me to write, that a majority of my books are written by women, I'm seeking for that feminist centered writing that is inclusive, that makes a circle where a hierarchy would be made by men
