Fantastical Post

Paul here. So since wer'e all spilling our secret identities I'm the film major. And I'm also Aquaman. I've never really been drawn to the scifi/fantasy side of things but this class sounded a little too cool to pass up. I'm also a creative writing minor but the closest I've ever came to writing a Dark Fantastic tale was a story I wrote about a camel in the 4th grade.

Being a film major I definetly come at things from more of a visual aspect and wondering how this stuff would really look in real life which is stupid to begin with because it's fiction. I can't wait to really get in depth with all of these stories because what I've read so far is all sorts of trippy and weird and fantastic. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this semester because a class where the teacher is stuck in a television screen sounds like a dark fantasy to begin with.

To add to the Clute discussion I know I called out a few movie examples in class last week but I've just thought of a neat one in the "Thriller" video by Michael Jackson. Of course with sighting you see all the zombies creeping out doing the electric boogaloo. The the thickening occurs with Michael and his date being chased through the city by the line dancing undead and eventually even undead Michael joins in on the fun. The revel comes near the end where Michael's date wakes up and realizes it was all a dream. But there's an aftermath because at the end of the video Michael's eyes turn yellow and you realize he really is a moonwalking zmobie.
