Ugh, so many different things are wrong with the logic of that story, my head hurts.

What I found even more disturbing was just how cheerful everyone else was: "Fuck yeah, God totally killed a dude, he's so AWESOME!!! Now let's all go to this Newsboys concert across the street and have fun!"

I too have wasted two hours of my life watching this film *shudders*

Nah, it goes more like:

Pretty sure the movie is just a ripoff of the Marine Todd meme.

I liked it, but not a lot. It has some great performances, though.

Yes. Enjoy!

Is that THE Ken Starr who got fired?

Good to see Trevor Slattery is keeping himself busy.

Community had fun with that trope too: "I shall have…. a birthday cake!"

What Thomas R says below. There's transgressive poetry in all ages.

Yeah, but didn't the film take place in the 1950s? I can see how they'd be largely studying the classics.

It's a perfect satire of everything that made that movie maudlin.

Poetry should not be fun. It should be oppressive and the reader should hate it. Poems are from a hundred years ago. They were written by a bunch of dead men to punish children. The arts in general are for women and homosexuals. When you read a poem you should never feel emotion. In summary, poems stink.

I think he literally trawls English Department sites and e-mails random people.

RIP, Alexandre Astruc.

Yes! I'm seeing it twice.

I guffawed at that, too. There's a certain genius in its stupidity.

Do NOT keep a balance unless it absolutely necessary, and if you ever do, pay it as soon as it's feasible.

Sadly, no. It seems I didn't make it in the academia after all :(
