I'm SOOOOO Bored

I'm bumping this post. It'll be 2 years soon since you wrote it. I'd love for these posts to stay up for years and years, because I'd love to bump it up again and again every once in a while to remind myself that some people are very willing to turn their heads away from what's happened to other people in other times, and only too willing to look for a scapegoat when history inevitably repeats itself.

I wish I could turn my mind off of history like that; wipe out all the bad and "boring" things that have happened in the world and put on film...The Grapes of Wrath...Hotel Rwanda...The Pianist....you're lucky you don't think much yet.

Fret not, young squire--just hang in there and sooner or later you'll be done with boring school and enter the real world, the working world, and you'll be very glad to know that everything, yes EVERYTHING you'll ever encounter, is for your entertainment, amusement and fun.

I can recommend Saving Private Ryan--lotsa kick ass action where stuff blows up real good to keep you stimulated. WWII was a LOT more fun for watchin' than the effects of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl on sharecropper families, but I don't think there are many hot chicks in it.

Still worth a peek--not boring at all!

your class is a piece of dumbass!

sounds like you were a spoiled school kid in '06...well as you have "grown up"...has your opinion changed

I could just see this little moron's eyes rolling. If I were a teen or a tween or whatever idiotic variant this dope is, I'd gouge my eyes out too. Not from the film, but from the constant stream of advertising, crappy music, borderline porn, and technology shoved down my throat and the throats of today's youth. I cringe to think of a future where these children, with the intellects of monkeys and attention spans of infants, run the world.

Wow, this makes me sad to be a part of this generation. I am watching this movie in class right now and I think it is a work of art. Much better than the drivel that passes for "entertainment" today. A movie with an actual story? Well written characters that you actually care about!? No way!

OP strikes me as the type of imbecile who finds tripe like Jersey Shore entertaining and who thinks Transformers has a deep plot. Just because you are too stupid to understand it doesn't mean it is bad. You can't even use your age as an excuse, I am 16 and I like this movie better than most garbage today. This is from a time when STORY was important, because they couldn't just make 2 hours of special effects filler.

On a side note, "quickies", WTF? Are you implying there are children having SEX in your school? If that's so I'm not surprised a movie like Grapes of Wrath would fly right over your head. I suggest you abandon any attempt to understand culture right now and go back to playing Call of Duty and watching MTV. People like you need to be removed from society.

News for you....I also watched this same movie when I was in high school (late 80s) and nobody left the class...we all watched it together. I enjoyed the film. :) It was in our American History class.

Yes. Grow UP. Enjoy summer school.
