Should we assume that the audience is the audience of the 1940s?
Yes to all, IMO.

Avoid those films that has something related to those original films; character wise may be. Moreover, I think the studio was bit packed with the sequels of those popular monsters in 40's, that's why the challenge is looking for something fresh but acceptable (& make-able) for that particular decade.

Yes & it'd be better if it has an universal appeal as well.


Darn, the challenge is not so easy as I though earlier!:o

It'll be done tonight. This weekend was focused on (finally) writing my essays for entrance into Babson College's Evening MBA program as well as getting the word out for the Cure-a-thon.

Now that they're done and I've applied (HOORAY!), I really have no excuse.

I know what movie I'm going to do, it's a matter of writing it down.

FYI - I'm a bit burned out from work and lame-essay-writing (not that MY essays were lame of course - The topics they give you are RETARDED), so this effort isn't as inspired as my last two unfortunately.

I'm probably not going to be participating in this one. I've got a serious case of writers block and a lot of personal problems i've been trying to work out lately so i havent had any time to write.
