massive tumblr neglect
So it has been crazy tumblr neglect around here. Sorry ‘bout that.  Something about an interstate move, Nicholl reading, and two classes I teach starting Tuesday.  Not a lot of time to play.  But once Tuesday launches things should be simpler and I can stalk the tumblr halls seeking interesting photos and such.  Yay! See you again then.

The Protagonist, The Filter, & The Electronic... →
A filter — Is anything you place between a character on the screen and action or speech that character is experiencing. A film audience is already distanced from events in a film story because a film audience is experiencing events second hand: The audience is sitting in a chair watching events on a screen.
