Movie Appreciation: Week 7, Period 3 (Fri. 2/20)

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Movie students would be pleased (or disappointed, who knows!) to see they were back to their regular movie theater sans-treadmills or any other gym equipment. Look, Ronon was being kind or something.

He leaned against the podium and gestured at the opening image frozen on the screen. "Today we're talking about trilogies. You all know that Space Battles thing and we saw part of the Fatal Rock trilogy, and I'd bet some of you know those Fabulous Foursome comic book movies, so the question for today is this: Are all trilogies created equal? Can sports movies hold up to three incarnations as well as action or science fiction? You be the judge. Then? Have a catfight. It was the goal of these, after all."

And then he made them watch clips of all three versions of meta for Bring it On. There was a cheerleader theme happening this week.

Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

Because there's sort of one and wow are those movies bad.

Angela was slouching in her seat and watching. She could really be doing worse with this week, but that didn't mean she was at her bright and cheery best.

Still, these movies might suck, but what these girls could do was pretty awesome. She might be taking some mental notes.

Penelope listened to the short lecture and watched the clips. Despite the clips, she thought being a cheerleader would be fun.

Romeo listened and watched the clips. The acting was pretty bad, but there were girls in short skirts flipping around, so he didn't mind so much.

John hated everything. And his ass hurt, dammit. He was not enjoying sitting in the theater at all.

"Ants in your pants, Sheppard?" Rodney was starting to wonder if he should move to a seat farther away.

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John glared at Rodney. "Yes, swarms. I'm glad you're here to act as a repellent."

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"What?! Really?" Rodney was half out of his seat before he'd even finished both words. "What are you doing here infesting everyone else and more importantly me?"

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John rolled his eyes. "Rodney, exactly how gullible are you?"

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you never know what might happen around here," Rodney muttered defensively as he retook his seat. "Better safe than sorry, I always say."

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You acted like you were allergic to ants," John replied, looking Rodney over. "And I'm pretty sure that's not possible."

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"There are poisonous ants, you know," Rodney glared. "That means they're deadly to everyone, even you."

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Whatever, there are no ants in my pants, and if you must know I just happened to suffer a slight accident the other night," John shared. Yes, his ass was feeling rather broken.

"That seems to be going around," he nodded. "I found my roommate clutching an icepack yesterday." Rodney wasn't quite enough of a gossip to mention exactly where Sokka had been clutching it.

"Maybe there's an outbreak of clumsiness," John wondered.

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, right," Rodney scoffed. "Like that could happen- no, wait, what am I thinking? Of course, that could happen here," he rolled his eyes. "Although, it wouldn't account for the fact that we've been stuck with ice water in the shower for days," Rodney assumed everyone had been similarly afflicted with bad plumbing. "That is in no way a reflection on any clumsiness someone may possess naturally or otherwise. Unless, of course, it's the idiot who broke the plumbing in the first place."

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

"Ice water? My shower's been working just fine," John said, confused. Of course, if he had been lucky there would have been ice water, but no.

Peter watched the clips. He didn't mind them so much. Then again he did seem to have a thing for cheerleaders.

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

Peyton was... frustrated. Very frustrated.

And tired.

And so not wanting to watch cheerleaders right now.

Dinah kind of loved the first one, but the other two were terrible.

Yes, she's seen them all. Shut up.

Claudia was mostly focused on the girls' hairstyles.

Sokka raised a hand. "How are these SPORTS movies???" he asked incredulously.

Re: Trilogies [Movies 2/20]

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"The bouncing." Marco said darkly from where he was trying to crawl under his desk.

Re: Lecture & Clips [Movies 2/20]

[shiniernyours.livejournal.com]

Aww, those girls' attempts to improve themselves through acrobatics. Bender wouldn't have taken them seriously any week. This one, with its wiring problems?

Meant he was leering more at the screen than the movie.

Brooke could not sit still to save her life. She looked antsy and pretty much ready to stab the person next to her with a pen if they so much looked at her funny. Because all the jitteriness wouldn't draw any attention.
