I had an English and Journalism teacher who was a film buff, so we watched a lot of movies to go with our reading. We watched "Network" and "All the President's Men" in Journalism and "Apocalypse Now," "Romeo + Juliet" and nearly every Kenneth Branagh Shakespeare adaptation. We also watched "Lawrence of Arabia" in…

The Voyage of the Mimi was a regular thing in my 6th grade science class.

I had a pretty awesome professor in college who taught a climate science course and screened that movie as an example of really stupid ideas about climate change.

Seriously. I was about to comment on that too. It wasn't just in math class though… Stand and Deliver was like the go-to movie at my school when a teacher was out and we didn't have a substitute. I've probably seen that movie 7 or 8 times cause it just got passed around the school for emergencies. They also regularly…

My high school economics teacher had us watch "Trading Places" and "Coming to America" to teach us…. something… about economics.

I too watched Apocalypse Now while we read Heart of Darkness in high school AP English, but I'm assuming this must be a multi-school thing because you all couldn't have been in Mrs. Reed's AP English class at PAHS.

Kind of a harsh review for what I thought was a fun little episode. I like that Adventure Time can be more complex and emotionally mature, but personally I enjoy the silliness of the show just as much. It is a cartoon set in a magical land without a firm grounding in reality, after all. Some of my favorite episodes…

The "they" in Louisiana 1927 definitely refers to the government… the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dynamited the river levees during that flood in an attempt to save New Orleans and ended up flooding out St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes, igniting the forever conspiracy theory that exists to this day across south…

I just got around to reading this today, not suspecting it was the end! Thanks Nathan Rabin. I've been reading the AV Club for almost a decade and My Year of Flops is one of my favorite regular columns on this site. I'm a little sad to know so much fuckery will continue to be produced without you around to address it,…

Watched this a few weeks ago with my boyfriend during a long Netflix Instant binge.We enjoyed spotting the obvious laser pointer action they used to keep the cat interested and looking at things the script required him to.

You forgot my favorite! Matthew McConnaughey as The Shirtless Guy Who Dies on Unsolved Mysteries!

Yeah, kind of dumb. Everyone was happy to let Edith and/or Mary marry Sr. Anthony a few years ago… would there really have been such a terrible attitude about disabilities so soon after WWI? Wouldn't a hell of a lot of men have been maimed/killed?

Yeah. My mom works in surgery and enjoys regaling us with tales of the various odd stuff that gets stuck in people's butts. The problem with this flared object advice is that most of these people are getting things stuck in their ass in the first place because they're too embarrassed to buy a proper sex toy and are…

This episode delighted/shamed me because when the Sims came out, while everyone else was locking their Sims in rooms and setting them on fire, I was making Sims of all my friends and coworkers and getting them into relationships/fights. So… yeah.

Yeah, I didn't either, but I am a girl.

When I moved to Louisiana a Whataburger had just barely closed down in a building down the street from me. The empty shell of that familiar building haunted me until they finally turned it into a Raising Cane's.
