fandomhigh | Movie Appreciation: Week 2, Period 3 (Fri. 1/16)

Like the previous week, students met up in a nice Danger Shop-created movie theater, complete with large professor. Of course, this week, his clothing was a little odder than usual. It seemed his shirt had disappeared between classes and he was choosing to ignore this fact, having found a very small leather vest in his office that he thought worked okay with the jeans his wardrobe had diminished to.

As soon as it seemed the majority of students had found seats, the theater darkened and the trailer for Fatal Rock played on the screen, followed by a few key clips featuring explosions and lots of foul language.

When the clips ended, the lights came back and there was Ronon grinning at the podium. "Looks like a pretty cool movie, huh? Today I want you guys to talk about action movies like Fatal Rock, Mission Impossible 3, and Terminator 2. Ask somebody in class or out of class what makes 'em interested in action movies and what would make 'em wanna watch more based on the clips, trailer, or title. If you've got questions, I'm around and Tony's your TA." As he stepped to the side of the stage, half the lights dimmed and the other trailers played for the sake of those who'd never seen movies.

"So," Brooke greeted her, not quite wanting to ask about her clothing choices when she realized it probably wasn't her fault, so she'd just keep her eyes at face level. "Thoughts on action movies. Let's hear them."

"Myself, I happen to think they're more entertaining than chick flicks most of the time," Eve said, trying to sit in one position in the hopes her clothes might come back if she refused to move anymore.

"Depends on what kind of mood I'm in, personally," she agreed. "I mean, sometimes you need the weepy thing, but then you have those days when it's just really good to see hot guys blow a lot of things up."

"Exactly!" Eve said with a nod. "Because when I'm in a bad mood, weepy movies are just about the last thing I need for myself. Now if I'm trying to cheer someone up and get them to get their cry on so they start feeling better, chick flicks all the way."

"Yes! Though... they do tend to keep the guy's attention too much to be date-appropriate usually..."

"True. And there aren't really many movies that fall somewhere in between enough to work for everybody."
