Okay dudes. The semester ends on December 21, and that's a Wednesday, so that means after today we've only got two classes left after today. We're gonna have an exam, but it's totally gonna be easy, because I remember hard exams and they suck, and I never had an easy exam, so we're gonna do one. But that's not this week.

Last week we started a project called 'Your Life As A Movie'. Today you've gotta hand it in. Remember, these are the details you need for it dudes.

Your Movie Name:
Your Movie Genre:
Hero Song:
Other Songs:

Here's one I did.

Ted's Movie Name: Ted's Most Triumphant Exploit
Ted's Movie Genre: Drama/Romance
Ted's Hero Song: King's X - Junior's Gone Wild
Ted's Other Songs: KISS - God Gave Rock and Roll To You, Megadeth - Go To Hell, Big Pig - I Can't Break Away

So hand in your assignments ~~in the proper thread~~ in that basket. Watch out for the cheese. I think it's breeding.

This Week: This week we're talking about music videos. Music videos are an important part of modern day music, dudes. If you have a good song, you've got nothing unless you make a good music video to go with it. I don't know what you 90s and 21st century future dudes do with music videos, but when I come from, the 1980s, music videos were huge. There are some rules about 80s music videos that everyone should follow.

1. Lots of mirrors. Using mirrors to get lots of copies of the band or main singer is a most excellent trick of the eye.
2. Costumes. If you dress bright and bold, you'll totally get more attention.
3. Big hair. It doesn't look any good on me, but it worked for Madonna.
4. Dancing. No matter how stupid you think it looks, you can't have a music video without dancing, otherwise you're just watching a TV for nothing dude.
5. Babes. Any good music video needs babes wearing almost nothing.
6. A cameo. There are good cameos and bad cameos. Bad cameo - Gary Coleman. Good cameo - Estelle Getty or The Incredible Hulk. If you can get Estelle Getty AND The Incredible Hulk fighting in jello, you won't even need a good song to get loads of people watching! My money is totally on Estelle, especially if she has her handbag.

Music videos aren't easy to make, so you should never try this at home. Only make music videos with supervision from a professional and never make more than two music videos in a day.

Homework: No homework this week, dudes! Just study for your exam.. if you want. Earl the miniature giraffe could take the exam and he'd totally be able to pass it and he's just a miniature giraffe!

[OOC: In summary, sign in, then hand in your movie assignment. That's it. There is, of course, junk food on the table.]
