The links to these are all listed as external links on the 197 class blackboard section. Make sure to read the on-line blogs for your periodical, even if you have access to the paper copy. On Friday, I'll go over what this assignment actually entails.

I know I'm covering the New York Times, but I love the site Ain't It Cool News and Moriarty's review of the best films, he said this about A Scanner Darkly, which I thought was interesting to our exploration of the term "genre":
"I’m not really sure what genre this film is. Yes, it appears to be set in a future where tech is slightly beyond where it is now, so I guess you could ostensibly call it “science-fiction.” Only this really isn’t about tech or the future at all. You could call it a mystery, since there is a puzzle that is at the heart of the story, but it’s a mystery that the audience is given the answer to long before the main character is, so I’m not really sure that’s right either."
