    It seems to be a common misconception that the only thing you can do with an English degree is teach others English. But is that really the only viable option aside from the anticlimax of the café barista?

  • Don’t rank programs by their financial benefits to the university

    By January 23, 2013

    What worries me the most about TransformUS is Program Prioritization. This process will rank academic disciplines based on their contribution to the university’s success. Highly ranked programs will receive increased resources while those with lower rankings will see reduced resources or be cut entirely.

  • John Carter finally arrives on the big screen: Andrew Stanton and Taylor Kitsch discuss adapting the sci-fi classic

    By March 8, 2012

    It has been 100 years since the character first appeared in print, but over that time John Carter of Mars has never made his way to the big screen.

    That makes Disney’s upcoming John Carter the first film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic science-fiction adventure novel A Princess of Mars. It follows Civil War veteran John Carter, who finds himself transported to Mars (or Barsoom, as the Martians call it), gains super powers and does battle against a race of 15-foot tall, four-armed barbarians in order to save a princess.

  • Soderbergh’s Haywire is not what audiences expect

    By January 28, 2012

    There seem to be two different versions of director Steven Soderbergh.

    One version is the director of the Ocean’s movies, Out of Sight and Contagion who seems to be able to make standard Hollywood fare better than most other directors. The other is the indie wunderkind who broke onto the scene with Sex, Lies, and Videotape and has continued experimenting with the cinematic form through movies like The Limey, Full Frontal and The Girlfriend Experience.

    Surprisingly, Haywire, a female-centric action movie starring mixed-martial arts fighter Gina Carano as a double-crossed black ops freelancer, is a product of the experimental Soderbergh.

  • A novel idea: paying for our entertainment

    By September 24, 2011

    Since the advent of peer-to-peer sharing, what we used to qualify as consumer goods are now free, and the status quo of paying-for-things is slowly disappearing. Everything entertaining is free: free music, free games and free videos of cats falling asleep.

    I never considered what free entertainment meant to me until my favourite podcast came to an end, and I was left questioning if I would ever forgive this cruel world.
