We almost finished watching The Rock yesterday (about 15 minutes to go... the green glass ball was rolling off the lighthouse when he stopped it mid-frame...) and still no clue as to why we're watching it.

He said if we choose to write about this as our "movie" paper (as opposed to Wag the Dog or Man on the Moon), we can write a paper about how it's not a satire-- but, he stressed, we really have to convince him that it's not. So I guess the thesis is EVERYTHING is satire until proven innocent? (Actually, yes, that was the whole point of the Derrida paper. I should've seen it coming.)

I don't buy it. Weak. He'd better come up with something more convincing next class.
