Hello I am Zachary Martin. I am not really a fan of cinema, I have always found movies that take themselves super seriously super difficult to watch. I can see why The Godfather and Casa Blanca are influential and important movies, however I find myself being bored by them. My favorite movies in general are ones that are stupid and wild, but mostly the ones that are not taking themselves super seriously. My favorite genre is like eighties and nineties horrible horror. Atrocious movies with tiny budgets are so much fun. I appreciate well made movies and can see the effort put into them and how they are so influential, just sometimes they bore me a little bit. I hope to be able to learn how to properly analyze movies from this course so that even if I am not enjoying them I can at least contextualize and understand them.

Very interesting. I feel gratified that you seemed to enjoy yourself yesterday watching "Cabiria", despite the fact that it's on old silent movie! But I am a little worried when I thing about our next movie, the 4-hour monster "Cleopatra". To tell you the truth, that one is very good, but I would also have been happy if they had turned it into two separate movies rather than one. A 4-hour movie is a real endurance test.
