WHAT IS THIS BLOG ALL ABOUT?

Basically, we’re a bunch of kids mostly with backgrounds in Cinema Studies writing about films and stuff in a way we find meaningful. We’re opposed to all film discourse that treats films as commodities. It is meaningless to talk about films in terms of any star rating. What matters about a film is how it works: What is it trying to tell us about the world we live in? What does it say about who we are or what we can be? What is our relationship with the filmic image? By writing about film we hope to make cinema work again and save it from the cretins who believe that the most important thing about a film is its Oscar potential or box office clout.

So please, read and share your enthusiasm or anger in comment form.
