Advanced Film Criticism, Monday, Period 1
"This is the last week of the session, right? Or is that next week?" James asked in case somebody paid better attention to things like calendars than him. "Well, if it's this week, then I'm sending you out into the world with a treat. Nicolas Cage once again, this time in his magnum opus, meta for The Wicker Man."
"Watch as he - the hero - beats up several women, one time while dressed as a bear! Be amazed by how he steals masks right off the faces of children! Wonder how the hell he got paid actual money to act like that when the director told him to pretend that he was being killed or tortured or whatever with bees to the face. I'm pretty sure any of you could do better than 'NOT THE BEES!'"
"It's garbage and it's wonderful and have fun, especially since if we do have a workshop next week, I'm out of fun bad movies and you're gonna get the worst thing I can torrent."

Listen to the Lecture
Watch the Movie
While recovering from a tragic accident on the road, the patrolman Edward Malus receives a letter from his former fiancée Willow, who left him years ago without any explanation, telling that her daughter Rowan is missing. Edward travels to the private island of Summerisle, where Willow lives in an odd community that plant fruits, and she reveals that Rowan is actually their daughter. Along his investigation with the hostile and unhelpful dwellers, Edward discloses that the locals are pagans, practicing old rituals to improve their harvest, and Rowan is probably alive and being prepared to be sacrificed. When he locates the girl, he finds also the dark truth about the wicker man.
Or, more plainly, Nic Cage does crazy shit.

Talk to James
He advocates finding women who give it up easily and sleeping with them, stealing money from kids, and just generally avoiding Swarm.
OOC
Again, not advocating it. Just in awe of the fact that people wrote, directed, acted, filmed, and released a movie where that happened.
