Rashomon

The 1950 film Rashomon is being remade.
Although there is not a script or director or cast, it's definitely happening, in what is sure to be an awful awful idea.
The remake will take place in modern America, and put the characters' fates into the hand of a court charged with deciding a case involving a woman's rape and her husband's murder.
The original is set in Japan and is a movie that tackled a different kind of story telling with an overarching theme of ethics.
To remake this movie seems silly, as does Beverly Hills Ninja 2 (Hasselhoff appearance), but we are in the age of the remake. The name of the remake will be Rashomon 2010.
The problem with the title is that the only people that will understand its significance don't want the project to happen. It would have been much wiser to create a story inspired or similar to Rashomon, but called something completly different.
I'm just hoping people will see the original before the unveiling of Rashomon 2010.

sufjan and mercer county and a dirt racetrack

Apparently, there is a racetrack in Mercer County. Is this stock car racing? I have no idea.
This weekend in Grove City One Acts was going on. And it was fantastic. Last spring, it was awesome as well. I'm a big fan of them.
After One Acts, a fellow GCC student and friend of mine and I turned on some Sufjan Stevens and drove down to the court house of Mercer County and explored the little town that is there. We found a sweet old-fashioned soda/ice cream shop that I definitely want to go to when it's actually open. From there, we used the GPS in our car and found that racetrack. It was weird and interesting. We didn't get to see any big wrecks or explosions unfortunately but it was still a good time.

Holler!

Hello and welcome to G.C. Scene.
We are a group of college students enamored by many mediums of communication.
Most of us are interested in film, while others still enjoy exploring photography, writing, music, fashion, art, and pop culture.
This blog will serve as an avenue for us to share not only with each other and our college community, but with the entire blogosphere.
Different people will be posting (hopefully daily) about cool events, celebrity trainwrecks, and goings on in the art forms we love so dearly.
Enjoy and tell your friends.
