I got out of class to watch the 1997 version of That Darn Cat because I kicked the poo poo out of the reading program. In 3rd grade they had these little side activities you could be part of throughout the day. Somehow I ended up on this thing where you assisted the janitors, except they didn’t really supervise what we were doing. So basically we treated it like it was a gang and would try to nail kids in the crotch with generic Windex on stream mode. Anyway the principle thought we were doing such a good job that she took us to DQ for ice cream and we got to watch about 45 minutes of Blank Check on the tv in her van. We watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory so many times.

The art teacher in high school did not give a poo poo and if someone had a movie with them, there was a chance she'd put it on. I guess she left no lesson plans one day, which is how a substitute allowed someone to bust out a copy of Pauly Shore's Son-in-Law. We made it to the lesbian kiss and the sub turned it off. Art teacher returned the next day and we watched the rest of the film. Other teachers would have movies in the curriculum, but most tried to have them fit the lesson. Psychology meant that just about anything applied and I remember seeing The Mirror Has Two Faces, Shine, Jack and Powder there.

Watching Powder before or after Victor Salva’s crimes were well known? We watched Fat Man and Little Boy in high school physics. Supersize Me came out when I was in high school so we ended up watching it in health class, sociology, English, and some other class I can’t remember. loving hated that movie by the end of that.

My English teacher was maybe hungover, idk but we got to watch Grumpy Old Men. There is some hilarious content in there that is not quite R rated but OLD PEOPLE gently caress.

I was taking a nap in study hall towards the end of my senior year and some other senior brought in a laptop and put in Stomp the Yard, because if there’s anything that speaks to white suburban kids it’s that movie. I hear Chris Brown dies in it though.

We watched Spartacus in high school world history. He hated Bush and Ronnie Raygun and would spend the first 10 minutes of every class talking smack about them. I don’t remember much else about the class.

I slept through a bunch of really good movies in the various English classes I took. The Searchers, To Kill a Mockingbird, the 1970s Gatsby with Sam Waterston, but I made sure to stay awake for my senior English class (not AP) when my teacher showed us Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. That teacher was cool, he brought his didgeridoo a couple times to show us after big projects or tests. I also took a really cool math class based around problem solving that had like, 6 students in it for the entire year (because I didn’t want to gently caress with calculus) and we spent our last days watching The Princess Bride because it was my teacher’s favorite movie. All of my favorite classes and memories come from moments after I had given up on all of that AP/honors poo poo, it made my life much easier and I only wish I was smart enough to have not taken honors science classes for my junior and senior years

Elementary school: Annual pre-Christmas Break screening of the Don Bluth short “The Small One”, which they had on Actual Film rather than a VHS. Also “Annie”, “Hoosiers”, “Willy Wonka”, “Clash of the Titans”, a biopic about “Pistol” Pete Maravich for some reason, the deeply upsetting “The Boy Who Could Fly”, and a “Just Say No to Drugs” thing with Kirk Cameron taking over a classroom from a teacher who licks a piece of chalk and is now addicted to drugs somehow? Tuesday After-School was essentially lawless and would put on anything from “Little Shop of Horrors” to the “Garbage Pail Kids” movie to “Howard the Duck”. Because talking animals (and plants) = Okay for children. Middle/High School: We took field trips to the Winona Ryder “Little Women” and “Mr. Holland’s Opus”. We watched the 60’s “Romeo and Juliette”, as is apparently tradition, as well as a couple After-School Specials in Literature. “The Breakfast Club”, “Sybil” and “Wired” (yes, the insane Belushi biopic) in Psychology, and “Outbreak” in Biology, which was the one and only movie we had to get permission slips signed to watch.

In mid-90s elementary school they still had this big backlog of reel to reel educational movies so we’d watch a fair bit of those. Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land is the only one I really remember the name of. There was also this safety video about not waving sharp stuff around where there were puppets whose heads were balloons. That stuck with me for obvious reasons. Then there was a cartoon where a magic talking book teaches a kid about caring for library books. He leaves it on the side of a soccer field and it almost gets killed by a lawnmower.

Nothing gave me a heads-up that my cross-cultural psych professor in year one of college was mad as a hatter more than her first course. I walked in and the room was pitch black with pornography playing on a projector, she's got her feet kicked up on a desk, isn't responding to anyone, eating chips. Whole period goes by, no change. Come back next week and there's only 7 of us down from... I dunno what. She's now teaching a normal class and says "Yeah I do that at the start of every semester to get the fundies out of my class, saves me a lot of arguments." I did not learn much about CC-Psych but I did learn a) that she loved to gently caress and b) she was really into Amsterdam as a whole. Just peak "how do you have a job" educator. That counts as a movie, right?

Actually I thought the soundtrack was the best part of the movie (that is to say, I wasn't in love with the soundtrack but I thought it was a novel idea, not having seen anything else of luhrmann's at the time)

I can't remember what movies were presented to us in grade school, probably because they were poo poo. I feel we halfway-watched at least three different sports movies because our district was in love with football

A True Jar Jar Fan posted:TV and not a movie but I had a substitute for health class for a week who wanted us to learn about being Wholesome Young People so we just watched episodes of Touched By an Angel and Seventh Heaven Didn't the actor who played 7th Heaven's dad turn out to be a pedophile? I thought it was horrifyingly fitting since he played one of the few nice people on Always Sunny, while the actors who play the sociopaths seem to be pretty nice in real life.

Funny or Die has a series called A Very Special Episode that summarizes sitcoms when they sprinkled in a serious episode. From what I can tell that’s all 7th Heaven ever was. Ripped from the headlines crap with a cast of scared stupid white people reacting to it. The irony of the family patriarch being played by a child rapist is just so rich. We watched the Asante The Odyssey in 6th grade. It’s a TV movie so it didn’t get that explicit. Did end up with a lifelong crush on Bernadette Peters though.

Are we still talking about movies we saw in class? In college, I took a class about Police Accountability. The closest we got to talking about police accountability was when he put on Serpico. We spent the rest of the semester on totally different things. I think that was his way of saying that there is no such thing as police accountability.

They dumped Jessica Biel a few seasons in for doing some magazine photos where she wasn’t naked but wore shorts or something, and then she went on to do Blade III and ultimately what is her finest work: the commentary track for Blade III dvd. The dad being a pedophile the whole ten years or however long it was is a profound irony that presaged other horrors associated with weird religious tv shows that try to appear normal. Mostly more pedophiles, I guess.

Armand Assante as Rico Dredd was a scene chewing masterclass. If you put Assante and Avery Brooks in the same movie, it’d be a neutron star of GRAVITAS.

The funniest thing about Stallone Dredd is that it is supposed to be a big reveal that Dredd and Rico are clone bros when in the comics that is just a basic fact about the characters that everybody already knew. It's like if you made a Superman movie where halfway through he finds out he's an alien and it is treated like a shocking revelation.
