5 things

Filed under: Stuff

Books I’m reading this week:
1. Zizek (Sublime Object) - as part of a reading group with Scot, Adam, and Tim
2. Rickert (Act of Enjoyment) - also part of a reading group with Scot, Adam, and Tim
3. Jenkins (Fans, Bloggers, and Gamers & 3.5. The WOW Climax)
4. Selber (Multiliteracies for a Digital Age)
5. The Rhetorical Tradition

Books I wish had time to read this week:
1. Dick (Ubik)
2. Boulle (Planet of the Apes) - found a $.65 copy at Vinny’s; always wanted to compare it to the movie
3. Jeter (Noir)
4. Allen (Projecting Illusion) - Would make a nice edition to reading group: Section I, Althusser, Lacan, and Film Theory
5. Nunes (Cyberspaces of Everyday Life) or Weinstone (Avatar Bodies: a tantra for posthumanism)

5 movies I’d like to see (but know I’d be disappointed, so I’ll just wait to Netflix them):
1. Spiderman 3
2. Transformers (okay, I’ll go see this one . . . with Scot, Adam, & Tim(?))
3. Harry Potter 5?, 6?
4. The Simpsons Movie
5. Ocean’s 13

5 movies I know I never need to watch but want to anyway:
1. Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
2. Live Free or Die Hard
3. Pirates 3 (still need to see 2)
4. Superman Returns
5. Ghost Rider

5 things I (recently) watched and recommend:
1. Zizek
2. The Worlds Fastest Indian (K. still liked it a lot, even though she was expecting it to be about a Native American rather than a motorcycle)
3. Lost (finale)
4. Heroes (finale)
5. MIT CMS 2006 Futures of Entertainment Conference (video podcasts)

5 things I wish I could watch (but I don’t have cable):

  4. I’m down for Transformers. I’m sure I’ll live to regret this, but it just might be the one that redeems an otherwise lackluster summer movie season. (Yeah…definitely going to regret that one).
