In philosophy, ontology (from the Greek ὄν, genitive ὄντος: of being (part. of εἶναι: to be) and -λογία: science, study, theory) is the study of being or existence. It seeks to describe or posit the basic categories and relationships of being or existence to define entities and types of entities within its framework. Ontology can be said to study conceptions of reality.

Some philosophers, notably of the Platonic school, contend that all nouns refer to entities. Other philosophers contend that some nouns do not name entities but provide a kind of shorthand way of referring to a collection (of either objects or events). In this latter view, mind, instead of referring to an entity, refers to a collection of mental events experienced by a person; society refers to a collection of persons with some shared characteristics, and geometry refers to a collection of a specific kind of intellectual activity.
Any ontology must give an account of which words refer to entities, which do not, why, and what categories result. When one applies this process to nouns such as electrons, energy, contract, happiness, time, truth, causality, and God, ontology becomes fundamental to many branches of philosophy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology

The use of 555 in cinema stems from an earlier derivation than supposed phone company promotions in the 1970's - having been used in many films from 1930s, or earlier, onwards. One unconfirmed explanation, which may or may not be an urban myth, relates to a supposed early branding deal between MGM and the cigarette company 555 over the use of the digits in movie telephone numbers: Reason why 555 numbers are used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_phone_numbers

12 monkeys; is it possible?

It was based on a new wave french film about the end of humanity as we know it but it raises question such as if its possible?
La Jetee's script can be found here http://www.godamongdirectors.com/scripts/lajette.shtml
The original movie La Jetee may only be 3o or so minutes long it is profound in it own way. Using only black and white film it features a number of stills to maximize the effects it has on people forcing you to become involved with in it.La Jetee is only so long but the fabulous director Terry Gillam, saw a movie that inspired him to create the film 12 monkeys. Nothing like this had been tackled before with both films talking of post apocalyptic world where we have become endangered ourself. i loved the way they captured the fear of possibility in its purest form. Nothing seems to out of their reach when they tackle the issues of a reality that may not even be real. The mind is only a fragile instrument and not only is it stretched to it limits it is torn into pieces. in the end only the true lie is the one we live. For nothing is common everything is different and only happens once within time.

Introduction to this

The full works.
What to say it is only the beginning of this course and is is the first time I can say my ideas on the course. I so far haven't had the chance to voice my ideas on the teaching of this class. I am really finding It quite interesting. Well this may only be the first blog and be quite small but it is the start of something much bigger than itself. so with out further to do heres the end. Or Maybe not. what else could i say that wont be explained in the future of these posts. I have to complete at least one a week. Wow hard *Sarcastic stare* this doesn't worry me but the remained of the course outline seems to be a bit difficult. I will how ever work through it to get the desired result of my money that I payed to Griffith to get my Bach of Art. Goodie! well any way till the next time this is the fiend signing off bye bye :p
