Movie Appreciation: Week 10, Period 3 (Fri. 3/20)

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"We're gonna try something different today," Ronon announced when it seemed like most students had arrived and found seats. "There's a whole genre of film we've ignored so far in favor of movies where stuff explodes." But really, Ronon liked the explosions so that's why there were more of them. "I think we should call 'em sleepers but the internet thing says they're classics. This thing on TV said this one was the best, so we're gonna kick back and try not to fall asleep while we watch meta for Casablanca. I haven't seen it," because he fell asleep trying to watch the first time, duh, "so it's a learning day for everybody. Grab a pillow. I'll set a timer for the end of class."

Well, congratulations. You are responsible for me saying the sentence "Should I watch Casablanca or Alien vs. Predator today?"

I ended up going with the latter. Casablanca doesn't have aliens bursting out of people's chests. It's a great movie but it would have been greater if an alien popped out of Strasser's chest at the end. It's just a fact.

I admit I have never seen Casablanca the whole way through before.

Ronon is all about wanting to see AvP now. Maybe next week...

I'm not surprised. Enjoying Casablanca would require having a soul, you heathen.

AvP is amazing and I think I made the right decision by watching it this morning.

CASABLANCA IS BORING. SO IS IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

PSH. CASABLANCA IS AWESOME.

It's a Wonderful Life does blow, however. I kind of want to punch that little girl in the face.

Casablanca rocks if only for the one-liners, but it rocks for other reasons too.

I can't get through It's a Wonderful Life. I fall asleep.

... Alien vs. Predator sounds cool, though.
