papers and more papers

[shishidoryo]

I'm behind with stuff that was meant to be handed in a couple of weeks ago. I'm drowning in research papers and coffee, I haven't slept in 36 hours and some lame idiot ate the food I left in the fridge last night.

If is says 'SHISHIDO RYOU' it's mine, don't fucking touch it. I'm so fed up with arseholes.

I so need this to get me through all this work.

They didn't. Life happened and I didn't have time to finish them all when they were due, so got an extension for today. They've been handed in so fuck knows now how good they are.

Star Wars is awesome. Rey is just the best female character ever to exist... urgh, why isn't she real?? It was good, I thought. People complain a lot but I think it does what it should do. Fun, entertain, cool, with twists of sort. Follows up the originals pretty well, not like the shit prequel ones.

Do you like them?

That's a shame. I'm sure that they'll pass muster. It's good that you were able to get an extension.

I watch movies primarily for the acting. I wasn't too fond of the script, but I think that the actors did a much better job in the sequels than they did in the prequel trilogy (or, dare I say, the original trilogy). I know. Blasphemy. If I don't think too hard about its shortcomings, it was an enjoyable movie and the actors did the best they could with the script, which I gather didn't sit entirely well with them from the interviews.

They tend to agree when I ask.

Everyone is a critic. You watch just for that? There is a lot more to films than just acting. Ideally, you wanna have everything in one... good script, good acting, good cinematography, good directing etc etc, but you can hardly get half of that the way films are produced nowadays. Go watch 'Feel Good Men', 'Good Will Hunting' for the whole package and not space opera sci-fi, know what I mean

I suppose that I should be inclined to agree with you on that, but I strongly believe that the foundation of any sort of performance is good acting. You can have excellent everything else, but bad acting can make the entire film fall flat. I have nothing but the greatest respect for directors, producers, cinematographers, scriptwriters, and all of the other people that work on films, but they are artists and actors are the primary medium through which they work. Casting also plays an important role. You need to have the right people for the right characters or the whole movie falls apart. If, for example, although they are both good actresses, if Rose and Rey were played by each others' actresses, our perceptions of them as characters would change drastically.

I won't say I get acting, I don't. I can't act for shit either and I don't even know how anyone can look at green wall and get any emotions out of it. I remember reading and interview with Ewan McGregor and he said it was basically shit experience trying to interact with nothing. So I tend to turn a blind eye when it comes to actors who can't perform as well as they could have done.

So you do acting as stuff? Is that what you study?

[jazzforyoursoul]

That wasn't precisely my point, but oh well. I have naught but the greatest respect for actors that can act with greenscreens and such.

I only act recreationally. I'm in med school, hence the headache over papers. Soon I'll be a proper surgeon and licensed to operate. I'm assuming that you're in a similarly rigorous field?

[shishidoryo]

You probably get it worse than me, I suppose. The problem is that I intern so that makes hours quite short. I study Earth Sciences, Seismology being most likely my field of choice.

[jazzforyoursoul]

Ohh. Interesting. That carries its own difficulties in of itself. Good luck with your studies and internship!
