February Film Club
FEBRUARY IN FILM CLUB
On the schedule this week is Wes Anderson's sophomore film Rushmore, which Mia has procured in 45mm and is very excited to make you all watch. Unfortunately for her, the reel appears to be defective, and she can't get the movie playing.
A small group of freshman are tasked with finding a replacement film among the club's disorganized and outdated DVD collection. They've selected the 2001 classic Shrek. Mia is extremely displeased about this, but has been soundly outvoted by her classmates. At least it's not the musical?
» The Discussion: The question is: Fairytales often rely on the tropes of "true love" and "love at first sight". Discuss how Shrek deconstructs and challenges these stereotypical concepts of love.
» Scenes: If you want to, but don't talk during the movie or Mia will throw popcorn at your head.
» OOC: Kill Mia if you are truly her friend.

HOW THIS WORKS
- Answer the discussion question in-character. Short tags (or even dialogue-only tags) are highly encouraged. Crosstalk is fine. Don't worry about the linear sense of the conversation. Assume it's as unmoderated as a presidential primary debate on CBS.
- Whoever talks the most wins. Loudness is rewarded.
- The winner of the discussion gets custody of the club's communally owned Oscar Award. School legend has it this is a real-ass Oscar award and not a replica, but it's missing the engraved plate on the base, so there's no real way of confirming this. You can do absolutely whatever you want to this thing.

Re: OOC CHATTER
the movie came out when i was 11, and i had already been ruined by the internet (fun fact, i discovered fanfiction.net and rp chatrooms when i was 8; by 11 i was on message board rps and a dedicated everquest player). so there’s a joke in the movie about farquad's tower and how he’s compensating for something that’s one of those twofer jokes, the kids laugh because haha he’s short, the parents laugh because haha dick joke in a kids movie. except i only got the dick joke part, and was horrified that the younger kids around me were laughing at it. like, six year olds were laughing at a dick joke???
i didn’t get that it was a height joke to kids until i was 20.
