Movie Appreciation: Week 1, Period 3 (Fri. 1/9)

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

In time for third period, the Danger Shop had been transformed into a large movie theater complete with a stage in front of the screen. On the stage this morning, stood a large man with dreads who wore a leather ensemble that either screamed pot head or alien based on your point of view.

"Movies. People on Earth can't get enough of 'em. You may know I'm not from this galaxy, but I've seen enough movies in the past few years to have figured out it's all about entertainment. Which is where you come in." He stalked across the stage, trying to catch a few student's eyes as he went along. "This class is to appreciate movies. We'll watch clips an' discuss the types. I'm gonna ask you to spend a couple hours outside class watching some other movies as the semester goes along. Do it, don't, you're the one who won't get to kick Sheppard in the face when we act out meta for Hot Fuzz." Sadly for John, he wasn't kidding.

"This week we're doin' the intro thing. Tell us your name and describe your favorite movie. Then we'll see if anyone knows what the hell you're talkin' about and can guess the title. If you've never seen a movie or don't have a favorite, tell everybody why you're here."

Listen or exchange looks with one another. Talk at your own risk.

Best. Class. Ever. Because:

1) Francine really hadn't been kidding about Mr. Dex. Holy wow. Alien or drug runner, she didn't care. He was mega-hot.

2) She got to kick someone in the face! For class credit! And all she had to do was watch movies!

Dinah might have been doing a little chair-dance of glee in her seat.

Emmett was pretty damn excited about this class. He loved movies and watched whatever he could get his hands on.

The only downside was the classroom stinking of dog. Ugh.

Marco was actually awake during class. Possibly because this sounded like the best class ever classed.

John really didn't think that was very funny. First, he wasn't a grandma. Second, no one was kicking him in the face for class credit.

He frowned during the lecture, wondering what the heck he'd done to deserve this class.

Penelope paid attention to the lecture. She's never watched a movie so this class was going to be fun.

She just wouldn't kick anyone in the face.

This seemed like it was going to be the easiest class ever, and Romeo was mentally congratulatng himself on choosing it.

Brooke loved the last semester of senior year. Hear that? Loved. Hot teacher, no actual work, there was no bad here.

This teacher's hair was awesome. Claudia stared at it, enraptured, and wondered how long it would take to replicate it.

Her hair today was done up in about fifty little twists, all held in place with clips shaped like butterflies. She was wearing high waisted black pants, a black and white striped shirt, and bright purple suspenders. Her boots, naturally, were orange. One earring was a director's chair, the other was a reel of film, and she had metallic bracelets halfway up her left arm. On anyone else it would look insane. On Claudia, it looked great.

Sokka grinned and rubbed his hands together. This class was going to be EXACTLY what he'd thought it would be.

Rodney was taking comfort in the fact that Dex couldn't torture him in this class. Physically, at least. He was pretty sure. Rodney narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

Describe Your Favorite Movie [1/9]

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Tell us your name and describe your favorite movie. Then, please ping in classmate's threads with guesses.

If you've never seen a movie or don't have a favorite, tell everybody why you're here

"Hi, I'm Dinah Lance, I'm new here, and my favorite movie is... um. The Chinese one, with all the fighting..." Right, that wouldn't help much. How many movies had that? "With the female warrior who tracks down her old partner to get his help with the green sword, and they have to protect the younger female warrior who's in love with the nomad. They kind of swoop through the bamboo and it's visually so awesome. And the ending is -- I love the ending. Plus, did I mention the fighting?"

"I'm Dean Winchester and there's a lot of movies I love so I don't know if I can narrow it down to a most favourite. But to pick one at random, there's a comedy about these four guys who start a business hunting ghosts." He grinned. "That kind of subject matter usually gets my attention. The attack by the giant marshmallow didn't hurt either."

"I am Blysse," Firekeeper said. "This is Blind Seer," she gestured at the wolf. "I is only seeing a few movies, so I cannot be saying I have a favorite. I am here because this is where they telled me to be," she shrugged. "But I am liking stories, so I am thinking this will be not bad."

"I'm Emmett Cullen," he said, giving people a salute. "My favorite movie is about these young hot shot pilots in flight school who play volleyball during their free time for some reason. And the teacher in the movie is hot."

"Hey, I'm Marco and I like pretty much anything as long as its entertaining. My favorite would have to be the classic epic battle of good versus evil across a galaxy. It has the rather hopeless hero trying to rescue a princess from the evil bad guy with the help of a smuggler and an old dude." Marco paused. "It's a lot more awesome when you're actually watching it."

"I'm Gwen Cooper," Gwen said. "And I'm a bit fond of that old film with the woman in space. You know, the one where she saves the universe by breaking the sex organ."

This was mostly because she and Ianto had spent considerable time hypothesising what the film would have been like with Jack as the lead instead.

"I'm Penelope Wilhern. I've never seen a movie." The single television at home was used for security monitoring only. "I've paid attention to the television's here when I go into the common rooms, but my attention has always been distracted."

"I'm here because I assumed this would be a good class to learn about movies and perhaps get to watch them."

"I'm Gwynn Hood... and I'm not new here, but I don't have a favorite movie. I haven't really seen many."

Re: Describe Your Favorite Movie [1/9]

"I'm Romeo Montague, I'm a senior, and my favorite movie is about a girl who's in love with a servant who runs off to be a pirate, and she becomes engaged to a hateful prince. The pirate returns to rescue her, true love wins all, and there is some amazing swordfighting. And a giant."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Feel free to use (and create new meta to add to) the movies (http://fandomhigh.arborum.net/index.php/Fandom_Movies) listed in the FH Wiki during discussion. If you feel uncreative, that's okay too, but everything accidentally mentioned in class is handwavily meta.

Also? LAST SGA EVER TONIGHT. *WEEPS COPIOUSLY*
