I ‘ve never been very good at first impressions, so bear with me on this. There are hundreds of thousands of ways to introduce I, the new Arts and Entertainment editor for The Clock, to you, the reader. There are also hundreds of thousands of drafts of this introduction that I have started and abandoned, and yet I’ve still started in the most awkward way possible (like I said, not very good at first impressions). Anyway, enough about me, and more about me: if you’re still reading this hopefully you’re aware that my name is Tim Waugh. I am an avid lover of movies, music, comic books, videogames, as well as good old-fashioned regular books, hence why I am the A&E editor. My favorite films are Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Iron Giant, my favorite bands are Foo Fighters and Wilco, and I harbor far too much affection for Captain America than any man should for a fictional character. Somewhere on Youtube is a video of me playing the drums dressed as Batman (find it at your own peril), and I firmly believe ALF is the greatest television show of all time. Now that I have vented my ego properly we can get on to the fun stuff. Considering we will be spending a semester (and hopefully longer) in this column together, it’s only fair that I share my goals for this section of The Clock with you. Being the “Arts & Entertainment” section, it is my duty, along with Pat Kellar, David Benson, and any other contributing writers who come along for the ride, to inform, entertain, and critique various forms of media for your information and entertainment. This is an equal opportunity section, meaning no one is stupid for liking the Transformers movies or Nickleback, even though I am a fan of neither (that of course doesn’t mean Transformers 4 will get a positive review if it doesn’t deserve it, which it probably won’t). Another important facet of this section this year will be variety. As a reader and contributor of The Clock since my freshman year, I have always enjoyed the paper, yet I felt that music was more prevalent over all other forms of entertainment in this section. Ben, Alex, and other previous A&E editors before me have done a great job in these hallowed halls, but my personal goal here is to throw a little more movie features here, a little more T.V. features there, and deliver a well rounded section. This is hopefully evidenced this week by the Friday The 13th retrospective written by Pat (I’m more partial to Jason X, myself), and a review of We’re the Millers by David Benson. This will hopefully continue throughout the year as we thrill, enthrall, and disgust you here in the A&E section (actually, hopefully not that last one).
