Movie Appreciation: Week 11, Period 3 (Fri. 3/27)

Ronon stood at the podium, right in front of the center of the movie screen, awaiting the class to arrive. "So the internet says documentary films are made to capture reality on film. Other stuff says that the act of filming changes the reality. What you guys are gonna do is easy. Before we watch our movie, you're each gonna come up here and tell us some part of your life that would make a good documentary. Embellish it, whatever," Ronon shrugged, he really didn't care if they blatantly lied so long as they said something. He pointed to someone at random as he stepped away from the podium, "You, go first."

When everyone had finished their chance at talking, Ronon got back up in front of the group. "Okay, now that we've gotten some ideas of...weird stuff that could be a Fandom documentary, we're gonna watch ~~meta for~~ March of the Penguins and see if we can't get some of you to cry." He was teasing, but there were still tissue boxes at the ready.

With your favorite catchphrase.

Tell the group about some part of your life, or a life you've seen would make for a good documentary. Lie, cheat, steal, embellish - these are all valid options.

There are tissues ready, even if Ronon would never weep for weird birds. (Unless they broke his trust and showed lack of honor or something.)

The TA!

He's sitting in his usual seat, available before, during, and after class as needed.

I am personally not allowed to watch movies about animals. While I love it when humans blow up, I get all wibbly at the threat of wee creatures. Unless they are ugly.

omg me too. I still get all panicky during Independence Day when Vivica Fox's dog is running from the alien explosion or whatever in LA. Like, I know he's gonna make it because I've seen the movie a thousand times but I'm still like "RUN YOU STUPID DOG!"

I live a sad life.

OMG YES. Forget the humans in that scene, I was all "DON'T KILL THE DOGGIE! NO NO NO NO!"

Emmett Cullen

"That's hot." - Paris Hilton

Peter Petrelli

~~YATTA! or it would be if he knew it in FH canon~~

This is why even nature programs about animals need some kind of a warning for me. I want to know if I'm going to be watching an interesting film about their lives or if it's going to take a turn at the end towards "And this adorable fluffy inch-tall bunny who only wants to hug will be dead soon, thanks to people who have been stomping on them to make a squishy sound. Have a good night!"

"All the different wildlife in Fandom would make for a good documentary," Peter said. "'course when they march they might have floats and a brass band going with them."

Penelope Wilhern

"What is?" or something else equally explanation-demandy.

"Dinah film these some weeks ago," Firekeeper replied, giving Peter a confused look. "They no float. Or have brass band."

Gwynn Hood

"Either you ride the horse or it rides you."

Dinah Lance

"No using superpowers to settle domestic disputes!" - Barbara Gordon

Angela Montenegro

~~Does 'sweetie' count as a catchphrase? It should.~~

"My... dad is a musician," Angela shared after a moment. "He's already had documentaries made about his life."

Just one or two. Or several.

Angela settled back to watch with popcorn and tissues to hand, just in case. She couldn't help if she was the sort of girl who did cry at sad movies. Even when they were about animals.

Oh man, I can't even watch Animal Planet for fear of that. Meerkat Manor? Totally out because I will bawl if one of those adorable things gets lost or is ignored by its fellow meerkats.

SO WEAK.

Firekeeper shrugged. "Maybe some would be finding how real wolves is living interesting?" she said. "But, I not know if I could be getting them to agree being filmed."

"I got attacked by a bear and lived to tell the tale," Emmett said. That was only kind of a lie. He most certainly did not live to tell the tale.

"People would love to see it, though. Wolf films do really well, and there was one about wolves in the arctic a few years back that was real popular," Dinah said, thinking aloud. "Maybe if the wolves had input?" She grinned. "That would make it new."

Dinah thought about it, then said, "My Uncle Jim is police commissioner of New Gotham. A documentary on his life would probably make a great movie for all the cop stuff, but he'd never agree to cooperate with it."

Which actually might make it kind of fun to do. For someone who didn't mind getting arrested.
