Dissertation
I need to write a University dissertation that's due in in about 10-11 months. That sounds like plenty of time, but I can't leave it until the last minute, or it will be crap. I'm doing the dissertation with the Film & TV Studies department, so obviously the theme needs to relate to Film and/or TV.
It needs to be about 6,500-7,500 words and I need to make up my mind by May 17th about what I'm writing about. I have three ideas, in order of how likely they are to happen:
- An investigation into how TV executives have screwed up cartoons, which will basically be the continuation of a 3,000 word essay I wrote about Nickelodeon buggering up Ren & Stimpy late last year.
- Something about racial stereotypes in old cartoons. The "something" is the hard part with this one.
- Something about Digital TV and HDTV.
I'm gonna need to decide soon, but I think the first animation one is most likely because there seems to be a ton of written material on the subject. On the other hand, the HDTV one would be easy, provided I could find references (you know what University is like... you might as well not write something unless you can reference it).
What to do, what to do...

Nothing about the BBFC and how f*cked up they are(or film and tv claasification/censorship in general)? Then you could talk about both 'Ren & Stimpy' and racial stereotypes, plus by then the question of the hanging scene in 'The Simpsons Movie' will have been resolved and you could work that in. Corruption or hypocrisy in the BBFC? I dunno.
Good luck with it, whatever you end up writing about!
