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.]

"Oh, so am I," Angela agreed with feeling. "But I'm more tempted by the Onsen."

"The what-sen?" Dinah asked, curious.

"Onsen," she repeated. "It's like this hot tub thing, out in town. It's looovely."

"Oooooooooo!" Dinah could totally get into that. "That sounds really great. Better than the pool, even. You have to tell me where that is, so I can visit there maybe."

"I can take you sometime, if you want?" Angela offered. She was hardly going to miss out on the chance for hot tub time, really now.

"Thank you, yes! Awesome!" Dinah did a little chair dance, and TK'd the popcorn back to herself, grinning. "I don't have anything on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Or this weekend after swords, either. So just give me a call when you're headed there."

"I have one class on Thursdays," Angela said. "But after that, I'll be free for that sort of thing. We could go up there sometime in the afternoon?"

"Yay! Sure." Dinah gave her a pleased smile. "Now I'm glad I got a new suit for the Caribbean trip."

"Who knew it would even come in handy back here, when it's all but snowing outside?" she said, smiling at Dinah.
