Welcome to TCF 312 for Fall 2015!

10 THINGS I LIKE TO WATCH  - Dr. Raimist

Be warned that my test is very eclectic. I love all different genres, eras of film, and I'm a sucker for anything with the right leading man, and of course it's all about moving cinematography!

10.) The film that I watch and re-watch over and over again, is SAY ANYTHING.



(The music in the film is not as cheesy as in this trailer, I promise! It opens with "Taste the Pain" from The Red Hot Chili Peppers and who doesn't love them?!)



The best writing of romantic and most funny and incredible one-liners ever.


9.) SEVEN

 


The cinematography is breathtaking in the darkest of creepy ways. The scenes lit with Brad Pitt and high powered flashlights - be still, my heart.



8.) Just watched NAS: Time is Illmatic



Fun fact: I know every word to every song on "Illmatic" and I can rap it all, but I won't do it publicly... so don't ask! ;)

7.) Favorite music video from my generation: "DROP" by The Pharcyde


Yes, Spike Jonze, yes! Can you figure out how they shot this?

& Here are some of the things I'm currently watching on TV and streaming devices:

6.) RIVER MONSTERS

I like more docu-reality programming, and I would run away to film with my love, Jeremy Wade, in a heartbeat.



5.) COMMUNITY (via Hulu Plus)

I started with Season one two weeks ago, and now Troy just left and things are not the same and I don't know how I can go on.



4.) WHERE ARE YOU NOW.
 And I don't like EDM or the Biebs but this video is everything!



3.) GREY'S ANATOMY

I know that I'm 10 years late, but it took me a decade to deal with ER ending, so over the last break I watched a decade's worth of seasons... yes, that was many hours of McDreamy and McSteamy



2.) THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

I know he is bad, but I love Damon Salvatorre. And, I also love the lighting - show low-key and shadowy and rich and luscious to watch.



1.) THE FOSTERS


I am not the most conventional person. I don't have the most conventional lifestyle. I raise my own children to be free. I love love and folks who make family out of love... And, of course, I love Sherri Saum.  Who doesn't?

And I love scenes with beautiful string lights, just out of focus in the background.


& During the TCF In LA tour of Warner Brothers I saw her, screamed hi, and she smiled and waved at me... yes, me, and just me!
