Taking Time

Well, it has been a while. Busy and just unwilling to continue writing, perhaps. Nonetheless, I am back. Today , some students tried to convince me that it was a good idea to show BATTLE ROYAL during class, for Halloween. Granted, I am showing THE HAUNTING (the crappy version) for themed lessons, yet I am doing it because it is tame. Disney's HAUNTED MANSION would have been good too, but too many have seen it. These kids were in grade school when Haunting came out, so it seemed a safer bet.

BATTLE ROYAL was made a year after THE HAUNTING, but is still fresh in the minds of Japanese kids. As is RING and other popular Japanese horror flicks. While BR is the better movie by far, it is inappropriate to show in a classroom. My classroom is for art movies, classics, and crap. And again, I was asked why there is no porn...

I love my students.
