I'll see that triple major and raise you one. My undergrad degree was astrophysics, English and film. I only dropped the astrophys part when I hit third year quantum mechanics. (This probably explains why my current job is explaining computer applications to humanities grads.)
I did my M.A. when Lacanian psychoanalysis was in vogue in film criticism. I am far from civil when talking about that sort of bilge. I was always far more interested cultural history than crazy French theory.
Busby Berkeley is AWESOME! (I tended to favour Hawks' westerns and Hong Kong action films myself.)
And the LoM piece is lovely. Have commented on the post.
