Wow, its 4:00am and I'm finally finished and happy with my Japanese Cinema Paper. Notice I said happy there. Its been done since 10:30 or so, and i've been tinkering with it for 5 and a half more frickin hours. Not just me, but I showed it to Eric and Matt, and they each had some good insights that I felt it necessary to work in. I'm not gonna post it on here this time, cause its just too friggin big. I'll have copies with me in the morning. I'll post my title and thesis up here though, just cause I'm so proud of 'em, and how well it turned out.

Title: Jidai to Jedi: The Application of Japanese Cinema and Culture in George Lucas’ Star Wars Saga
Thesis: Japanese Cinema and culture has had a profound effect upon the American film industry for the better part of its existence. The most prevalent example of its influence can be found within the mythos of George Lucas’s epic Star Wars saga. Specific characters, plot devices, dialogue, culture, history, and cinematography from Japan are used to a tremendous extent by writer/director George Lucas in the making of his films.

I don't know what my problem is, but I'm a sucker for long titles, and short intro paragraphs. I like to get right to the point in the meat of the paper, not muck it up and make it sound like more than it is in the opening paragraph.
Anyway, I'm sleepy. Guess I'll give that a try now.
