Practicalmadness

It is a sad, sorry day when Gregg Bordowitz, Assistant Professor of Film/Video/New Media at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, is the most energetic, silly presence in a class discussion. This is not because Gregg is usually, necessarily, such a grave, solemn individual, but rather that his students were on a peculiarly low ebb today. Even the morning yoga instruction from Intrepid TA Julianne was less than intrepid, and today's Movie Of Interest did not manage the sort of warm, very engaged reception afforded, say, Network. I mean, could any of us reach the same heights of manicness as when Gregg slipped into a profanity-laden, Brooklyn-accented rant during a classmate's script reading? Of course not.

(FYI, the profanity-strewning was in the script...I think.)
