Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 252 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

Payday
i really do not know what to write about Payday, because i don't get the suppose of this film. First, we watch RipTorn being crud to his groupie girlfriend, then being delightful to the new girlfriend. Then we see Torn going hunting with some friends, and then later on in this film, he killed some guy then drives himself into suicide BOOM The End. But one thing i get understand is that carpenter's give me a taste of the raw early 70s of Hollywood and the struggle of being famous. while in the movie Taxi diver at the beginning of the film, he can't sleep, drinks heavily, pops pills, and spends his mornings driving Taxi and his night going to a porn theaters. After Betsy rejects him, Travis becomes crazy, violent, and obsessive. Then at the end of the film, he became a hero for killing some bad guys even though that wasn't his intention but i can see why that was the case. Because the audience is the people in the movie and not us.
