Riff Raff Theater: Armageddon

[Raven]

I win, in one of my English classes we got to read The Dark Knight Returns and then watch Boondock Saints and then compare the vigilantism that the two sets of people displayed

Winner indeed.  Where the hell did you go to school?

Fantastic Lit for senior year

Modern institutions are weird. We didn't even have those kinds of courses in COLLEGE back in my day (which, by the way, was a Tuesday).

Whereas when I was in high school, we got to watch JFK, Schindler's List, The Wizard of Oz, The Pricess Bride, and Rosencranz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I guess my teachers were cooler than yours.

So did you just watch them or was there an actual reason that some how related to what you were learning. 

Oh, and I too got to watch Rosencranz and Guildenstern Are Dead... but I also had to watch Chain Reaction...

JFK and Schindler's list we watched in history class during lessons that were topic-ly appropriate. We watched The Wizard of Oz when we were doing a joint Economics / English class about ... whatever the hell it was The Wizard of Oz was supposed to be about. The populist movement and the gold standard, or some shit.

We watched Princess Bride and R&G because our AP History class was more smart than we were supposed to be, and finished our lesson plan a week early.

We also watched some stuff like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but I don't count that because although interesting, it wasn't a movie that we were supposed to be watching for fun.

I'd really like to know what happened with the partial script I submitted for I, Robot

I stole it for my iRiff that will be coming out soon to pre-empt Riff Raff's release.  Look for it soon.

Are you serious?, will I be credited?

Relax a little.  They said everyone who sent stuff in had riffs in the last draft, so unless they were mistaken you got something in.  You're gonna be waiting quite a while to hear the mp3 because they have to record Tron and LXG first.

Dude, I'm totally serious!  Your jokes were great and I thank you for all your free labor.  I'll give you a shout-out on the recording, so don't worry.

Did you guys know the screenplay for Armageddon was co-written by J.J. Abrams?

It was co-written by like 85 people. He must've written one syllable.

[bettertomorrowamy]

Well he and another are in the credits.

[David]

Okay fine. But I think it was more like 6 or 7. (Story, collaboration, and screenplay get different credits or something)
