The Dowager Lady Margret, Countess and Prefict of Northumbria types: why do you like dead poet society?

Movie sucked. Bunch of 1950s nerds. Why does it get any love at all? Did you need to live through that time period?

That should be the swills motto! Lol

I liked it when I was 12. It's kinda corny now. Check out the snl spoof.

Never saw it. What's it about?

Also, when a movie sucks do you guys continue watching it? Rented "hail Ceasar" with Clooney the other night, half hour in, we stopped watching.

Yeah, not one of my favorite Cohen Bros. films.  It has its moments though.

I thought some of the individual performances were good. Tilda Swinton was hilarious, as was Clooney when he was "on set" some of the facial expressions and then saying under his breath "how was that" made me laugh. I also like the kid that Toby kid. Just thought he was an interesting actor.

The movie itself? Yeah, pretty dumb.

Was this the one where Robin Williams made Matt Damon cry?

One of the great SNL sketches. I spit out beer that night. Damn near choked on what was left in my mouth while sucking in air.
