Film, that is. We watched it in World History and not to my surprise, I became so bored I spaced out the entire movie. Now I have this 30 question packet to fill out on the film, and I don't know a thing! I wouldn't be stressing over it if I didn't know that not doing this could take my A to a B. It's worth that many points. So if anyone knows a great deal about this film, I'd appreciate it if you'd post, and I'll type out the questions. I won't do them all though, just enough to get a decent grade. lol. I know it's cheating...but hey it's the first time I've done this all year! lol. So please...anyone?

I would help you if I'd seen it, but I'm wondering - Can't you just go rent it again?

Now you'll know the difference between an A student and a B student.

If that comment is in reference to me...which it clearly seems to be, I just want you to know that I am a STRAIGHT A student, and this is the first time I've ever done something like this with an assignment. Just because I ask for help on one paper does not make me a slacker. Not that you care about any of this, but I just had to get that out there because that did offend me.

I was in high school, many moons ago...Before the internet (Yes, there was a time when us ol' fogies had to search out books in a library for research.)

In high school English Literature class we had to read Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic tale "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and then take a test/quiz afterwards...Can you say 'snoozeville'?

I hate any/all English literature (I had an "A-" grade in English lit, but it bores me to the point of braindamage...Well, I shouldnt say braindamage ya know

) so being the prepared durn-fool idgit that I am, and knowing how it is to get me to read literature is like getting me to enjoy Mick Fleetwood's vest-solo while having my wisdom teeth pulled by a dentist with a severe depth perception disorder, I cheated and remebered the lyrics to the heavy metal band Iron Maiden's classic song "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", which of course, is based off the epic Coleridge piece. (Helped being that I was a diehard Maiden fan so I knew the lyrics for the whole damn 13+ minute song in advance.)

Didnt do bad, I received a "B+" on that quiz/test and saved my braincells for later damage which reading lit would have annihilated.

1. Sean Connery's hairpiece cost $3,500,000
2. The submarine models were filmed in a giant vat of blue jello.
3. No, a 35,000 ton submarine cannot turn around an underwater seamount like that.
4. Alec Baldwin didn't suck in this movie.
5. Nothing in this movie happened in real life, so they shouldn't have shown it in history class.
6. The storyline revolves around long, hard, seaman-filled objects blundering around in the dark.
7. The Soviet national anthem is awesome. Really, really awesome.
8. Everyone who has never seen "Das Boot" agrees that it's the greatest submarine movie of all time.
9. Yes, the control room of the Red October really is a chrome-plated basketball court.
10. Filming was delayed for several days when Stellan Skarsgård started eating the sets.
11. James Earl Jones is awesome. Really, really awesome.
12. Most Lithuanians don't have Scottish accents.
13. Scott Glenn can crush walnuts between his asscheeks.

I think pretty that much covers all the grounds.

I love you for that!

Imagine the horror of actually having to push oneself (though I hardly consider the above example of watching a movie "pushing") to get the better grade.

I guess this is my inner nerd coming out in me, but this stuff angers me greatly even if it is a one-time thing. IMO, an "A" without the integrity is not a true "A." It's very unfair to those who actually do the work.

No "sorry emoticon" from me,

Brad
