Welcome to the Spring 2015 Course Blog!

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!

The beautiful film shot by made by one of my beloved directors, Ava DuVernay, and was shot by one of my favorite cinematographers Bradford Young, SELMA!




The title song just won original song from a motion picture at the Golden Globes!



DO YOU WANT TO SEE IT? 
Be one of the first 75 students with ACT cards and see it for free on MLK day at The Cobb. RSVP HERE!


And here are my other faves:

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.) THE MINDY PROJECT

Despite the recent article that said I should hate Mindy, I love her. I am (part) Mindy, I am.



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!
