The Shark: June 2007 Archives

For those who don't know much about me, I am a film student at Brigham Young University, set to graduate in August. I just finished my last film class (I have three classes left to take during the next two months, but they are not related to my major), and I thought some of the Monitor Duty readers might be interested in the 10 page essay I wrote about how "Spider-Man 2" is a good example of how digital technology subverts Siegfried Kracauer's theory of photographic realism in film. Some of the formatting might appear funky, and my references are not there, though if someone really wants to know where I came up with some of this, you can contact me.

Also... The paper hasn't been graded yet, so for all I know it's no good! But I am curious to know if the topics discussed are understandable to a non-film major.

Here we go!

Check out my new blog I just started for an in-depth look at why comic books have lost my general readership and how I long for the good ol' days of JLA with Grant Morrison and Mark Waid!

It's a long one that I should go back and edit sometime, given that I finished it at 3:30 AM!
