IAP 2012 Activity


The Life and Death of Tim Burton
Michael Rapa
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: none

Since the dawn of recent memory "The Life and Death" film series has provided in-depth and meaningful analysis and commentary on why some directors that use to be good are now terrible. This time around Prof.(essional) Michael Rapa will take a long hard look into the Directorial success and failures of Tim Burton. Throughout the month of January we will view seven of Tim Burton's movies that Mr. Rapa has deemed "Not bad" or "Pretty darn good." Before each film there will be a complete lack of discussion about why certain movies were excluded from this symposium followed by two or even three minutes of incoherent mumbling from Mr. Rapa himself. So bring and friend, grab some snacks, and come see some better than average movies!
