Today we're going to go back to remixing (a bit). This time instead of discussing music, we're moving on to film. Now, I'll readily admit that for the past four years I've been kind of "out of the loop" when it comes to film. Cable lines have been ripped out the quaint hamlet of Temple (seriously, I think they made more money on the scrap or reusing the line somewhere else), and at our house we have too many trees for Dish or Direct. Because of this we used to rent films or get them via Netflix on an almost daily basis. Then high-speed internet came to town (finally) and we "cheaped out" and got lazy. Now we watch whatever is available on Netflix instant (some great shows, but not many new films) and rent movies infrequently. My point is that you'll be bringing a lot to the table that might be completely foreign to me. Bear with me. I'll do the best that I can.

Here is another one. It's not better than the first, but if you're into The Matrix, then it will be right up your alley.

Your homework is to do one of the following and post it to your blog:
1. Reflect on what we just watched. It needs to be interesting, lengthy, and include an image/video clip/something.
2. Discuss a film that you think is a remix (in some or many ways). Remember that remix doesn't mean bad.
