Senior year of high school, watched this in my calc class because the teacher said she had nothing more to teach us. We then found out she used to break dance in college and she said if we brought in some cardboard she'd show us some moves. When she came into class the following day, the floor was literally lined with cardboard and she was like "What the fuck?"

This .gif makes it look like the Dude is trying to subtly rub one out with his pants on.

Where do you people find these things?

That was my reaction when I realized the first guest in my "Hollywood Industry" class was Jeff Bridges. This happened my first week of college and it was all downhill from there.

it's called ''Hollywood Industry''. what did you expec... YOU MET JEFF BRIDGES OMG OMG THAT MUST BE SO COOL!

[–]Shorties 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, he was the best guest we had, though a few weeks later we had carlton cuse one of the executive producers from lost. (this was between the 3rd and 4th season).

[–]AquaNeito 1 point2 points ago

is there anything interesting/important you learned from any of the two that you would like to share? :)

[–]Shorties 2 points3 points ago

Not much from Jeff Bridges, besides the fact that he loves talking about The Big Lebowski, and he is glad that so many people love that film.

Carlton Cuse had a bunch of interesting things to say about Lost, I don't really remember it much, but I know they were going to have an episode focusing around the Dog as the central character, but somehow that idea was leaked to the internet and was made fun of so they decided not to. Also (minor season 3 Lost Spoiler), he deeply regretted that they added the characters Nikki and Palo, up until third season they were seeing complaints from people online that none of the background extras in the show did anything, so they decided to add some of them in, which was a terrible decision and they killed them off as fast as they could. So I guess the most interesting thing he had to say, was that the writers actually read what people complain about online.

I was really into Lost. watched every single episode. So it is nice to hear they 've read stuff online. i gues they cared about the fans instead of money like other tv series. It's also funny because you can't really take people on the internet seriously.

[–]Shorties 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I was too, (I think I may still have some homemade Darma beer cans on top of my fridge) I think part of the reason the ending was so disappointing, was because they were trying too hard not to copy any of the notable theories online about how the show was ending, which is too bad because a lot of the theories online were better then the ending they went with. Regardless, the first 5 seasons are still my favorite seasons of any TV show. The last one just seemed like it was trying to reprise and honor all the classic moments from the past seasons too much, and wasn't really defining any classic moments itself.

And yeah, I think Nikki and Palo are the perfect reason why you shouldn't take people on the internet seriously sometimes.

[–]AquaNeito 0 points1 point ago

yeah nothing is perfect, but still no matter how many dissapointing moments lost had it will always be great. i would take a bit flawed Lost instead of a perfect one. because only then you can enjoy the good bits like they are gold.

That sounds like a terrible film class.

EDIT: Seriously. Unless you're looking at them as cultural texts I really don't see the point of studying them. I get excited when I'm taking a film class full of stuff I haven't ever seen before.

[–]Freewheelin 6 points7 points ago

You're being downvoted, but you're right. I don't really see the value in actually dedicating a class to those movies.

[–]dermballs 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I agree. Those are great films but honestly you are not going to learn much about film by watching them.

It's even better when your philosophy teacher uses it to teach the concept of nihilism.

@ OP:

Where do you live? My film class has a guy who tried nominating it all semester and it didn't win until the final meeting.

Are you him?

I agree. All my friends were recommending it to me, so I watched it. It was OKAY. Had a few funny moments, but it's not worth all the hype the hivemind gives it imo.
