fandomhigh | Movie Appreciation: Week 9, Period 3 (Fri. 3/13)

There'd been a marathon of disaster movies on late Thursday night. It was as if cable television thought the world was going to end and the audiences needed to be prepared. Which led to Ronon's selection of film clips for this week's class. He was mostly amused because it was so rare in Pegasus for a world to be destroyed by something other than Wraith invasion. Or McKay.

Once students had assembled in the Danger Shop-turned movie auditorium, he began his 'lecture.' "A decade ago, movie makers seemed pretty sure Earth was gettin' destroyed by a giant meteor or comet." He played the infamous scene of destruction to prove his point. "That was ~~meta for~~ Deep Impact. Today, we're gonna watch ~~meta for~~ Armageddon and talk about suspension of disbelief." Wikipedia was becoming Ronon's friend for this movie analysis stuff. "So, do you accept the premise and science of the movie and enjoy it without delving deep or do you rip it up by thinkin' too much and ruin the ~~unrealistic~~ special effects for everyone else? Let's watch."

[OOC: My head hurts so I give you links for Armageddon here! The Launch. The part where I prove I have no soul. More proof.]

. . . wow, and I thought watching Sound of Music about 240 times in one summer was insane.

(ON VHS.)

THE SOUND OF MUSIC CAN BE WATCHED FOR ETERNITY AND NEVER GET OLD.

It really, really can. I was rewinding one tape while watching the other, and then I'd just switch them . . . like ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, ALL SUMMER that year.

...*backs away from you* *far, far away*

No, you know what's scarier?

I used to have the choreography for all the dances in the recent Cabaret revival memorized.

I could do "Mein Herr." Me. IMAGINE THAT IF YOU WILL.

...

I'm told that's not nearly as scary as when I do "I Enjoy Being a Girl" in combat boots though.

*innocents*
