Well, I guess that's it. My last class of the semester was earlier this evening. We've always had a lot of fun in this class. The students would kid each other (in good spirits), and I would kid back and forth with them. Tonight, we went around the room and each one talked about his or her final paper. One student said that she wrote about A Mighty Wind and two other improv comedies (Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show) because she loved A Mighty Wind and was a little ticked off that some of the other students didn't like it. "So then you wrote your paper out of spite?" I said. She said she did. I told her spite was a great motivator, and I really believe that it is. But, of course, without her love for the film, there would have been no paper. So, really, it was written out of love and spite. Powerful combination.
