I have lots of fun ignoring choosing topics for papers. Unfortunately, I've only got one of my final six that I haven't figured out just yet.
For interests' sake, the others (in the order they're due): 1. "Three Reasons Why Queer Cinema is Better Than R. Bruce Elder (http://www.ryerson.ca/~belder/)" 2. "Lorelei and Phyllis: The Construction of The Blonde in the Film Adaptations of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Double Indemnity" 3. a short (5-7 pages) analysis of the theoretical place of Seah and Margie's (http://trickster.org/vids/) I-Man vid to "Kryptonite" in the context internet-based art and/or (feminist) experimental film (no official title, not just yet) 4. "Stand By For Signal: The 'Failure' of Television from a Technology Studies Perspective" 5. "Seeing the States: The Gaze of the National Film Board Post-1980" 6. ??? (topic unknown, but something to do with European Cinema, possibly New German Cinema - which would end up in more US-bashing - or possibly with the place of the pastoral in recent British apocalypse films - which would be an excuse to watch Children of Men and 28 Days Later AGAIN)
...damn. That's a lot of writing. With the exception of numbers 1 and 3, everything is supposed to be 10-12+ pages.
Sleeeeeeep? What is this sleeeeeeeeeep of which you speak?
