Comment:

Geller runs the grad screenwriting program, so I had him for a bulk of my classes. He was way more into astrology than writing. I wish I had my tuition back, beacuse my MFA is not worth the paper it is printed on.

This guy steals his salary from BU. He is not only BAD as a teacher, but a total slacker to boot. LOSER!

Comment:

I have taken 2 classes with the Geller and really enjoyed the first one (Cinema of Transformation), but Suspense & Uncertainty in Film was a huge waste of time. There was no syllabus, readings or screening list and it seemed like we just watched whatever Steve felt like showing that day. Boo!

Comment:

Great class...minus one or two of the readings, but he graded the class easily...since his lectures were more or less about person things like conversations he had with Peter Sellers...still a great class...worth taking

Out there. Picks favorites (mostly girls). Tells ****ed stories. Intelligent but conceited. Only take his classes if you like sucking up to teachers.

Comment:

Awful. How can such a smart guy believe in astrology? Believes in a lot of other crackpot nonsense. Totally unclear. Don't know why this was a film course. Spent bulk of time reading a poem. Ugh!
