Writing As an Arts Critic for 9/10/15

1. Remember, we are NOT following the schedule on the syllabus. Please follow what I tell you here and in class instead.

2. Bring in your review of Fargo. It is due this week. Also be prepared to discuss it. (If you missed class last week, don't worry about the review right now. We will work something out. But if you can arrange to see Fargo before this week's class, please do. It's on reserve in the library.)

3. Remember to bring to class a review you've found somewhere of something. Be prepared to say what you like or do not like about that review.

4. Remember to read pages 1-8 and Chapter 1 in your text before class.

5. Talking Points for Fargo:
 a. Do you like it? Why? Why not?

 b. What's the deal on Paul Bunyan in the film?

 c. Does the restaurant scene with Marge Gunderson and her old friend Mike            Yanagita belong in this film?

 d. How do you feel about Norm Gunderson (Marge's husband)?
