Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
I'm just surprised it's not Ocean's 20 and the combined salaries of all the women is still less than they paid the main cast of Ocean's 11, before inflation.

Wasn't Ocean's 12 written during the writer's strike?

No, it predated the strike by three or four years. What happened was that Warner Bros. was keen to make a sequel, and Soderbergh and the cast were up for it -- but they were having a terrible time cracking a story. Jerry Weintraub came across a script that Warners had bought from George Nolfi (who would later go on to make The Adjustment Bureau) called Honor Among Thieves. It was actually a really solid script, about an American thief and a European thief who keep trying to one-up each other to prove who can pull off the biggest heist. Anyway, they took the script and told Nolfi to plug all the Ocean's characters into it, which is why it's such a bloated, over-stuffed mess.

I mean, Jesus Christ. First off, why the hell are they charging a teacher for showing an R-Rated movie?

My 9th grade English teacher was almost put in jail for showing us The Name of the Rose.

quote:

MELBOURNE, Fla. -- An English teacher who showed a movie containing a nude scene to a class of high school honor students will be recommended for suspension, and pupils are protesting the treatment of their instructor.

Brevard County's superintendent of schools will recommend that Palm Bay High School teacher Richard Flowers be suspended without pay for 12 days for showing 'The Name of the Rose,' Jerry Copeland, assistant superintendent of personnel, said Friday.

The teacher in the city on Florida's east coast was earlier placed on paid leave during an inquiry that led to Friday's recommendation for suspension. Nearly 50 students signed a petition protesting the school district probe.

Students wore T-shirts bearing the slogan 'Flower Power' and carried flowers in their hands during protests this week. According to several students, they were threatened with suspension if they didn't get rid of the flowers and T-shirts.

Flowers showed 'The Name of the Rose' to about 80 seniors in four honors classes last month. The medieval murder mystery contains a 30-second love scene in which a woman is shown nude from the waist up. A parent's complaint sparked an inquiry.

It is always Friday night, motherfuckers

When I was in 10th grade world history class, we watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which has boobs and such. I don't think the teacher got in any trouble but I can't remember his name so who knows. :shrug:

It was a pretty cool class.

EDIT: I misremembered, there is no actual nudity. So this story is pointless and dumb.

We watched the 60s version of Romeo and Juliet in 9th grade, from way back when you could flash some tits in a PG movie. Nobody got in trouble. Now the PG rating is probably the least represented rating outside of NC-17.

I have heard she was wearing a bodysuit to make her seem she was naked, but I'm not sure if that's happened.

I figured Hussey just looked really young, like her daughter India who played a 12-year-old when she was 19 in Underworld 4.

It was more than a decade ago and VHS so I couldn't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't a bodysuit. It was the 60s and people got away with all kinds of poo poo back then.

My 9th grade english teacher showed us the 90s Romeo + Juliet so we could laugh at it and then the 60s version also she was kinda lazy.

Other good school movies: The Great Gatsby (Robert Redford vers.), The Name of the Rose, The Mission, The 13th Warrior (IN MIDDLE SCHOOL! we had to bring permission slips)

e: now that I think about it I took an undergrad class on Beowulf where we had out-of-class viewings of some old german adaption of the Volsungs from like the 20s, the cgi Beowulf and the 13th Warrior so that's twice I've sen 13th Warrior in school :O

My high school World History teacher showed us Schindler's List without any kind of parental permission or whatever, but it was a class full of freshmen and sophomores who didn't give a poo poo so he never got in trouble. He would also go through every question before every test, reviewing the answers, so it was just about impossible to fail a test. Did I mention this was a pre-AP class?
