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

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."

[Please see note in OOC thread and class info here]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Appreciatively.

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

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

He's around after class for any questions or requests.

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*

Dinah Lance

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.

Tony Foster

"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?"

Dean Winchester

Dean grinned and guessed the meta of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. "Awesome movie."

"Yes!" Dinah grinned at him. "The tavern scene? When the whole place gets wrecked? And they're on two different floors and everyone is fighting at once?" So damn cool.

"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."

"Some of the best martial arts fight scenes ever," Dean agreed.

"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 know! American movies should so take the hint, they're nowhere near as believable," Dinah said, shaking her head. "Plus, female warriors, which I have to get behind. And the two male leads are just... wow."

Emmett Cullen

"Dude, Ghostbusters," Emmett said. He saw that in theaters. Not that he was going to mention that. "The Staypuff Marshmallow man was awesome."

"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."

Adam Park

*weeps right along with you, omg!*

Was that a growl emanating from Blind Seer's throat? Why yes, yes it was.

Firekeeper frowned and kicked him lightly in the ribs. Blind Seer, not Emmett.

Emmett turned his head in the direction of the growl and his eyes darkened when he spotted the wolf. He thought it smelled weird in here. He gave the wolf a little sneer, but didn't extend that in Blysse's direction when he looked up at her. She reeked of dog but she was still human.

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.
