Getting Meta… again

Sunday, August 28th, 2005

Just a bit of nepotism on my part. I have written for this website:

www.metaphilm.com

And my compandres on this site are dedicated to interpreting film, not reviewing it. They view film as texts, and like any good/interesting po-mo scholarship read between the lines(frames). Film is a huge passion of mine and I think a discussion of interpretations of films on WIS perhaps alongside technical reviews would serve the purposes of this site and its aims more than just reviews and an objective scale by which to rate movies. The George Bush commentary or lack thereof issue would also be under this, and the issue wording itself could be the thesis of someone’s interpretation. It’s not going to be an issue that you can get people to actually change their mind on, and its not so copasetic with Nick’s rapid love of objectivity, but interpretation-counter-interpretation could be a very interesting direction to go in on this site. In fact, most of the blogging so far has been people debunking each other’s interpretations of words, laws, basics, etc. I think this is the tendency. Check out metaphilm and see if we could blog like those essays on WIS.
