Movie Appreciation: Week 5, Period 3 (Fri. 2/6)

For Movie Appreciation, the Danger Shop was transformed into the usual auditorium with a strange new twist. There was a giant pool of icy water off to the side with floating slabs of driftwood strewn about.

Ronon sat on the edge of the stage, waiting for students to take their seats before introducing the day's movie. "I'm told for people from the right time, Titanic is a classic romance. I watched it, and I gotta tell you, if that's romance, Earth is screwed." For serious. "So this guy falls for some girl and shows her how to live or something. Then the boat they're on gets hit by a block of ice and sinks. Now, I know, spoilers or something are bad? Whatever, if I tell you everyone ends up in icy water like that," he pointed to the tank, "you tell me how many people live or die."

"Right, so let's suffer through Celine watch some parts of it and get a feel for this movie before you guys stick yourselves in the water and decide if the chick could've made some space for that guy on her plank. Still think it's true love and romance?" He flicked a switch on the remote and started up the clips.

"Maybe we add a crappy music soundtrack. Think that'll bring in the weepy girls?" John wondered.

"I don't understand it, but they seem to like things that they know will make them cry," Rodney sort of agreed. "Though, I imagine the most important part is to cast a really hot guy as the lead."

"And a girl who has some flaw that guys won't care about and lets the girls not feel the need to hate her for being perfect," he added.

Rodney looked at him in surprise. "You spend a lot of time thinking about this sort of thing?"

"No. Just since the movie started," John replied. "it's just that boring."

"Point," Rodney acknowledged. "I think you were on the right track about Dex losing his mind, too. Either that, or he's doing this out of misplaced revenge on the person who made him watch this crap."

"Make two dozen students suffer for one night of past torture?" John restated. "That's evil."

Rodney glared over at Dex. "He'd do it," he declared.
