In Writers' Academy This Year:

As I have already brought up, we will be participating in NaNoWriMo and, hopefully, have a group together to go to LTUE (Feb. 19-21). However, I would also like to watch some videos with content that directly pertains to writing (like in Calculus when we watched Stand and Deliver).
As of right now, I have two that I think we should watch:
1. Finding Forrester (rated PG-13 for language and some sexual references)
2. Milagro (episode 18 of season 6 of The X-Files (contains some sexual 'references', disturbing imagery, and some gore))

I need to rewatch Finding Forrester to make sure it is as relevent as I think it is, and I need Mrs. H's ok, but I think we'll probably watch that. As far as Milagro...it's more of an example of what we, as writers, should not do (like stalk people...and other such things) - we probably won't watch that because, well, some people get their hearts taken out (although, really, it's not as bad as it sounds). I should probably rewatch that one, too....

Any other ideas from you peoples?

I agree with Finding Forrester. It's much more than writing, though. That movie is awesome.

Umm... Stranger Than Fiction? The Neverending Story (series)?

Hm...I haven't really seen The Neverending Story series, and I don't exactly know how I'd get a copy of any of the episodes. Do they have seasons of it out?
I agree with Stranger Than Fiction, although we'd have to skip that one scene....

It's a trilogy, based (very loosely, in the later ones) on the book written by Michael Ende.
Mostly, it's about a boy who reads a wonderful book about a place called Fantasia, that's being devoured by the Nothing. Eventually, the boy becomes part of the story.

Oh! Yeah! Ok...somehow when you said series I started thinking tv show....
Hm....

(Actually, there WAS a TV series about it, but it was pretty bad, so I just ignored it's existence.)

Wasn't it a cartoon of sorts?

knowing how horribly animated the later movies were, I wouldnt be surprised.

Anyway, I think we should have a book of the week and stuff, and a list of reccomended reading.

Yes, and the Tuesday that the third Mistborn comes out should be a silent reading day - unless you're yelling over things you get mad at in the book. OR we could all go to Barnes and Noble and buy it! FIELD TRIP!

FIELD TRIP!!

I may, perhaps, join in on NaNoWriMo as well, if that is alright.

Do whatever you want, Forgiven.
