Ahhh, Advising Day...
"I'm just trying to be honest about being a misanthrope."
--Mike Newhouse, Dazed and Confused
I'm not going to make it. It's not any significant volume of students. It's the pure lack of quality. They come in here, on the last day of registration, and want to dictate their class schedule. Like the other 5,000 people haven't already scheduled their classes. anyway, 1.5 hours to go. Also, time for a new top ten movies list. This time, it's the Top Ten Science Fiction Movies According to Jeremy:
#10--Men in Black (1997)
I knew it. There really ARE aliens all around us. This movie is great because it makes fun of all the UFO conspiracy theories by asserting that they're all true. The government really has been hiding the truth about the aliens that live among us and their principal agents of concealment are the Men in Black. MIB not only conceals the truth about the aliens, but also cleans up any leaks by removing the evidence and altering the memories of witnesses. Tommy Lee Jones is off the chart as the deadpan veteran Agent K and Will Smith goes over the top as Agent J, the rookie. Look for great parts also from Rip Torn and Vincent D'Onofrio.
Memorable Quote:
K: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.
Today's musical selection:
Bruce Springsteen--Glory Days
