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

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.

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

"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."

"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.

"Huh," Rodney considered this. "Maybe there's something that's only effecting the pipes at a certain time of day. In which case, it really sucks to be me."

"Considering we're on the same floor, I'm wondering what time you shower," John said. "No matter how wrong that sounds."

Rodney didn't pay attention to any inherent wrongness in the question as he was caught up considering the problem. "Actually, depending on what time my first class is and if I'm going to the lab or haven't actually slept- oh no! It really is me!"

"You sure you know how to work the faucet?"

"This ain't my first rodeo, cowboy," Rodney shot back.

"What do you know about cowboys? Aren't you Canadian?" John may have missed the point of the quip.

Rodney closed his eyes and let his head fall to the back of the seat. "Aside from the fact that there are indeed cattle in Canada, all I meant was 'duh.' In the future, I'll be sure to avoid responses that involve anything more than single syllable answers just for your benefit," he added in his customary quick manner as he waved a hand in John's direction.

"There are cattle in Canada? Lemme guess, they breed mad cow."

Someone was sidetracked easily.

Rodney rolled his eyes. "Oh, look! Cheerleaders!" He pointed at the screen.

"It seems someone took your idea," John said, thoughtfully watching girls in short skirts.

"And, naturally, I got no credit for it," he huffed.

"Just be glad you get a class of sitting around watching girls frolic on screen," John reminded him. "At least we get a reprieve from musicals or whatever for another two weeks."

"Musicals," Rodney shuddered. "Whoever thought those were a good idea should be shot."

"Five bucks says some idiot sings along," John said, hurting himself when he shuddered at the thought.

"No bet," Rodney shook his head. "They'll probably even be doing cheers after this class." As it was, Rodney himself was going to be hearing 'Hey, Mickey!' in his head for the rest of the day.

"Maybe they'll cheer at you," John suggested. "They can take that Mickey thing and turn it into Rodney."

Don't cheer for him, John.

"Right, because I really need to know the meaning of true suffering before graduating high school. If you have any sense of human decency," he reached out to clutch at John's arm, "do not go around giving people such horrific ideas," he begged.

John patted Rodney's arm reassuringly and whispered, "Hey Rodney you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Rodney!" Jackass.
