Studying drama and lit at the same time -- triple major, who needs sleep? -- really provided an interesting experience too as I was studying and acting in Brecht plays at the same time as looking at film.
I can roll through anti-illusionism but the with the movements after that I get less and less... civil, critically speaking. When *reading* about what a film maker intended is more interesting than watching the film I can't really see the point.
I love classic cinema. I used to torment my film profs by writing papers on things like Busby Berkeley's musicals. *eg*
Oh I hope you're not disappointed. It was more an odd topic in that it wasn't the "obvious" choice for the prompt in terms of the fandom's "norms" -- the fandom has a tendency to overlap with Doctor Who given Simm and the timey wimey bit -- and that it crossed it with a novel. Egads!
