WHERE: The Woods.
WARNING/RATING: Some violence.

( Surprise. )

WHAT: Jason and Gideon do a weird friendship thing before their clockwatching shift // Cecily and Henry make some poor choices on the Left Bank.

WHEN: Early Afternoon, 2017 // Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Midnight, 1932
WARNINGS: Obvious substance abuse, very minor language, Gideon showing signs of glee at the idea of destruction of public property...

( Luckily I had books to read, and so not all of my time could be devoted to the pursuit of fire. )

WHO: Jason Hughes and Naomi Pontecorvo
WHEN: Tuesday evening, June 6th
WHERE: Jason’s house
SUMMARY: There’s a slight disagreement about who gets to be in more danger against the Adversary (martyr alert)
WARNINGS: Everything they do is bittersweet.

( ...like that unnerving clone of Jasper’s, what’s his name, something something sounds like a tree. )

To accommodate for certain cuts to classes, please note that the cap for ENG 321: Literature as Cinema and ENG 323: Theatre as Literature have both been raised. Due to a lack of availability of certain courses, the ENG 101 requirement for both classes may be waived if students submit previous test scores demonstrating strong writing/language arts skills, a written notice from Professor Quinn affirming your interest and dedication to the Academy's Theatre program, or an example essay of 3-5 pages on one of the films/topics listed on the English department's website. Students who go with the third option will be able to submit that essay (with revisions) as part of the regular course requirements.

See me if you have questions on any of this. We will be starting both classes the week of June 5.

Per the group discussion, it's looking like we're planning to move the Clock. If you wouldn't mind, let's set up a time to get it out of there--the sooner the better, so we can sort out the plan.

[MARTY]
There's something I've been meaning to discuss with you--the group at large, perhaps, but I thought I'd better start with you. It concerns a certain object that belonged to the man in the book.

[NAOMI + ALEX]
I've yet to find any other scrolls with the other fellow's name on them, nor do I suspect I shall--I don't especially need to know what his other incarnations got up to, but I thought it only fair to tell you both that I'm not looking for them, so any shared memories you may be hoping I'll come across will likely remain firmly un-remembered. Do with that information as you will.

WHO: Jason Hughes and Naomi Pontecorvo
WHEN: May 10th, shortly before Coopergate
WHERE: Jason’s house
SUMMARY: Naomi finds that Jason is very bad at guessing games
PROMPT: "Confession"-Orange
WARNINGS: Too much coffee. Someone takes the Lord’s name in vain.

( Of course it’s Marty. I’d probably have a crush on him, too, were I a woman. )

To all of my students: Yes, exams are still being held today. If you want to get your final paper/project grades back, that's where I'll be handing them out. If, for any reason, you feel your safety is in question, please contact me directly.

Given that I have been outed against my will, I shall have no shame in telling you that I'll know if you're lying to escape your final, and I won't take kindly to it.

[HAND OF GRIMM]
She's got some weird symbol down next to my name. Has anyone else looked, or shall I spoil the surprise for you?

[ALEX + NAOMI]
Well, fuck.

WHO: Jason Hughes and Naomi Pontecorvo

SUMMARY: Naomi and Jason find out exactly what the Hook is all about. Or do they?

( I suppose Evil wouldn’t be feather-light, now, would it? )

WHO: Jason Hughes and Naomi Pontecorvo
WHEN: Wednesday, March 22nd, 2017
WHERE: Naomi’s place in the Vintery district
SUMMARY: Naomi has found the Hook. Time to find out what it does. But first, let’s stall by talking about books.

Text to: Jason

[1] Hey. What happened? Are you okay?

WHO: Jason Hughes and Naomi Pontecorvo
WHEN: Saturday, late afternoon, conveniently missing the nasty discussions Cabrera is having with everyone :)
WHERE: Out on the water.

WHO: Ian Gorman, Jason Hughes & Marty Solverson

Nontraditional Narratives students should be advised that we will be watching Pulp Fiction in Cinema on Thursday. Being that it is one of the more famous examples of nontraditional narrative in film, extra credit will be offered to any student from 238 who attends the viewing (yes, there will be room enough for all of you.) You'll have an hour's break for lunch between 238 and 320, so you're welcome to traipse next door and leave your belongings in the lecture hall for safekeeping, if you wish, as I'll be in the room during that hour anyway. Seeing as the film is over 3 hours long, you are advised to either bring snacks or bring cash to provide to my dutiful TA in order to acquire pizza. I'm not paid well enough to give you free food, I'm afraid. Please be advised as well that this is a rated 'R' film, and there's a fair bit of blood, violence, and foul language, as is common in any Tarantino film.

Being that the Academy Awards are on Sunday, students in all of my classes have one week left to take advantage of your extra credit essay assignment, regarding the analysis of any of the ten films nominated for their script. You may refer to your syllabus for specific prompt suggestions.

[ACADEMY STAFF]
As ever, you're all welcome to sit in on the screenings, if you'd like.
