The credits are rolling, popcorn is all over the floor and you’re waiting for a post-credits scene that may or may not exist; a loading Google page illuminates your friend’s face. But wait! You hated it. Your friend loved it? On the way back to campus, you argue about the movie’s ending.
This can’t be it, you have so much else to say. The soundtrack was good but not redeemable. The casting was fantastic, but the script fell through. Who can you say this to?
There’s a page in Arts for you.
This week, you’ll write about that terrible movie’s ending. Next week, you can share your favorite playlist featuring the best combination of 2000s music that screams, 'I miss Timbaland.’ Later in the semester, you might try your hand at analyzing a pattern in pop culture.
These ideas don’t stay in your head. They can dance on paper and be in the Temple of Zeus Cafe while students read The Cornell Daily Sun.
Arts & Culture is an opportunity to share your opinion on the media you’re consuming, the music you’re listening to and the pop culture you’re observing. When you’re a part of Arts & Culture, you don’t just watch TV, you watch and think, “I need to rant about this.”
That movie ending you hated? Yes, you argued with your friend, but then you sent them the link to your article; turns out more people agree with you than you realized.
Arts & Culture is an opportunity to interact with the culture scene around you, to participate as a student and an observer through writing, in the Ithaca scene, the United States and the world at large.
Art can connect us all as humans. As a writer for Arts & Culture, you can be the beginning of that conversation. It starts here at Arts & Culture.
