Potential greatest movie ever!
"Fund it!"
As for film in academia, I've had quite enough of that at second hand (Miss Eggy's 'Religion in Films' modules) to even contemplate the idea that it's a fun thing to do. They've twisted her film-enjoying perceptions so far she can discourse quite intelligently on Messianic imagery in Disney and Pixar films. I threw out a sarky comment that Wally was Jesus in Purgatory when we saw the film for the first time, and she didn't stop ranting about parallels between the two for about five minutes.
Still, a girl who can tell you exactly why "The Matrix" is a piece of derivative cod-gnostic tosh that "Dark City" did first and better. I love my geekette.

Get out the brillantine and dime cigars
We're gonna find adventure in the evening air
Girls in white
In a perfumed night
Where the lights are bright as the stars... ♫♪
