Siren: But you work, don't you?
Rampage: Eh, almost same shit. I think it's too long to be able to pay attention through the whole thing (unless you have some carbohydrate-rich lunch with you and there's a tiny break at the middle of the class so everyone can stretch their legs).

Usually, I'd agree with you. However, in my program there's a total of 30 people. This means that in every of my courses, it's always the same people and we know each other and the teachers really well. Therefore, all my classes are really laid-back and we often drift a bit off speaking about movies, music, theater, the news and sex
I'm having a very easy last session...

Siren: 
That sentence was more like "you work and we study, so it's only natural that you work more hours than we study".
Rampage: Wow... I'd say "that sounds perfect", but then there's always the risk of a bad teacher / a teacher who doesn't like you, and you're stuck with them forever...

Well, luckily for me it's not the case.
Now to go back on the movies subject, i just watched "Mississippi Burning" and "The Tailor of Panama" and they are both great movies. The first one really got to me, it really makes you feel the horror of racism, not as much as in "American History-X" but still it's worth seeing it. The latter is simply an amusing movie, it explores how far and deep can someone go by telling lies. It's not realistic but Geoffrey Rush, as always, gives an outstanding performance.

I once watched part of "Jakob the liar" or something like that. It was about some jews in a ghetto during ww2, and every one thought that one of them, called Jakob, had a radio and could listen to the Allies' progress on the news, so he had to make things up to keep their hopes high. It was with Robin Williams, and it wasn't as bad as ww2 films tend to be.

^ The problem is, that's not a classical western. It's a spaghetti western from Sergio Leone. If you want classical western, try John Wayne's movies.

Well it was ment in a way that it is the old classic, not classic western as a label. I should express myself better next time.
And Wayne´s movie...yes, I like them too.

^Yeah but when talking western movies, I think you can't beat "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

Well, hard to say, as with all Pedros films. 
Its probably a parody on media, visual and also written, but with a strong dose of seriousness. Some members of the cast are former porn actors and I find it great how he anticipated todays reality shows with their "openness" about sex and basically anything. Check out any film from him, the one before this one I saw was Bad Education, also a great film.

I am that I am
brokeback mountain: superbly done photography-wise. minimal soundtrack which is not there, yet you realize it's there. the lack of discussion about feelings between the main characters is enthralling, and keeps you second-guessing what they really have. a bit slow in the second half, and the english is completely incomprehensible to me as a foreigner, but go see it, it's a work of art by all means.
yet, the fact that all good american films about homosexuality should have some hate-fueled crime in them keeps me wondering. i was already thrown off-balance by the ending of boys don't cry. are americans really wont to kill homosexuals in gruesome ways, even now, for the mere fact of being homosexuals?
