I trust that either Noel or Keith will be joining the list this coming week -- putting us over to nine. My question is do we become:
1). The Deep Space Nine;
2). Nine Lives; or
3). Nine Inch Nails?
There is also a British film called "The Nine Ages of Nakedness" which can be read about here, but after today's lecture and me saying the word penis over and over like a repeat revolver, I think it's time to move on to something more wholesome like "Nine Inch Nails"
Note: But my personal choice would be The Deep Space Nine.
One other note: I hope no one took offense today at any of the lecture -- it was meant to illustrate how academia works with genre. I also hope no one took offense at me insulting your own film taste and suggesting that I am obviously superior in recognizing what a brilliant film Forty Guns is. Wait, that didn't come out right either.
Let me try again. When I was your age, in college, someone made me a gin and tonic. I spit it out, saying that it tasted too "ginny." My friend suggested I try gin and ginger ale which became my drink (except, being from Virgina, I still spent weekends swilling bourbon from the bed of a pick up truck -- kidding) Any way, by the time I got to law school, I had moved up to gin and tonics -- now I won't even let vermouth into the same room as my martini (I say martini, it's really just a glass of cold gin in a cool glass)My point is that while one might say that Fuller's Forty Guns is just not that good a film, I'm suggesting the possibility that I served you all up a big ol' glass of gin today with no chaser -- which is how it was meant to be consumed!
See y'all tomorrow.

Let's be morbid and be Dante's nine levels of hell.
Or we could prolong our talk of cowboy feminization by being the Nine Ladies Dancing.
Or better yet how about the 9 worthies (I call King Arthur).
Also I recently came across the term dudity meaning "dude nudity." Here it is used in a sentence: There was some dudity in the Midnight Cowboy.
