fandomhigh | 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.

Like your one true love just dropped dead.

There are barf bags attached to the chair in front of you if needed.

Get in the water and discuss your views on that final scene OR just discuss amongst yourselves. No need to share Ronon's view on this. Disagreement is a good thing.

Who is a TA, dude.

Who is refusing to be earwormed by the song, thank you very much.

Thanks to

tyler_back for the class suggestion!

And no, I don't have a soul. I didn't cry at this one, either.

John Sheppard

Brooke Davis

Brooke actually liked the movie, but it was a chick flick with a hot guy and a good cry attached to the end. Not that she was going to cry at it. In class anyway.

Okay. Have you seen Terms of Endearment? Because if you don't cry at that movie you're pretty much a Buffy vampire, sorry.

Dinah Lance

Dinah stared. "How cold is that water, again?"

Marco

Or The English Patient. That one made me cry. In class. And not from eye pain for once. (I actually started crying during the Matrix. Everyone was very much wtf until I pointed that hey, my eyes hurt!)

I fell asleep during that one. I got bored way before any tears should have started falling.

It was that too. But there was also eye candy so it kept me awake enough to be sniffling by the end.

Adam Park

Firekeeper was, quite frankly, really not sure why anyone thought a movie about a boat was a good idea. Stupid boats. Made her queasy just thinking about it. Not queasy enough for the barf bag, though.

"I rather swim," Firekeeper commented, "than get on any boat."

Sam Witwicky

"Really?" Dinah asked, turning to blink at her. "But, you would have to stop swimming *some* time."

"This is why I not go places that involve crossing so much water," Firekeeper admitted. "I do once. It was enough," she made a face.

"Were you seasick at all?" Dinah wondered. "Or did you just not like being stuck out on water?"

"Seasick," Firekeeper nodded. "Very much so."
