Where’s the movie

Where’s my drink and skittles
September 2, 2010 at 7:09 pm
Erik
Down the stairs, there’s a vending machine in the cafeteria. In between these two vending machines, if you place your hand within, you should find a small lever, when you pull it you should hear some clinking, and underneath the machines you should now be able to find enough change to buy a bottle of coke and a bag of skittles.

Hey man, god isn’t above the law either.

It’s for lice
September 2, 2010 at 7:29 pm

They try to make the jail seem like something it isn’t what irony is that again?
September 2, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Leah
The way that the lighting is used for the guards (their faces are illuminated, the background is completely black) versus the way that it is used for the inmates (their faces are difficult to see because of the lack of light) helps establish the hierarchy in the prison.
September 2, 2010 at 7:35 pm
Mitch
Very nice
September 2, 2010 at 7:37 pm

The old mans bird is named Jake

Who died?

Who died?
September 2, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Spencer
Fat guy lol
September 2, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Spencer
Why would that one guy actually care about his name in jail. Of all things the guy is worried about his name… Weird
September 2, 2010 at 7:44 pm
mrkeenan
Good comment…What does his silence say about him? He’s listening, taking it all in before responding…
September 2, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Spencer
Maybe the things that he has to say are spur of the moment ideas. He possibly has to wait for the right time and the right words to come out of the other in mates mouth before he can say or act on what he wants
September 2, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Miss Malinowski
Maybe by knowing his name, this makes him a ‘real person,’ instead of just an inmate or a number.
September 2, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Spencer
But why would it matter if he is already gone
September 2, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Nathaniel
Seeing as not all people are guilty in the prison. There’s also a sign that this film is taking place in a time where society is a little out of place.
September 2, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Harrison
The man with the bird seems to caring to be able to get into prison
September 2, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Alex Hagel
The fat guy died
September 2, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Brittany Morrison
It seems like the protagonist isn’t much of a talker. He barely said anything so far.
September 2, 2010 at 7:41 pm
AJ
The old prisoners treat the new ones like they will be dead in a week
September 2, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Spencer
Just like how seniors treat the rookies on A new team
September 2, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Kerri
No one seems to care about the other inmates
September 2, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Miss Malinowski
These two characters are being developed to be opposites of one another. Look at how they are dressed, one in a shirt that is perfectly buttoned with combed hair, the other in a dirty, undone shirt and a hat. Even their physical appearances reflect how different they are from one another, and the different worlds that they come from.

The main charecters are going to become freinds
September 2, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Scott
Morgan freemans hat is grey. Which is very glum. He claims he’s Irish
September 2, 2010 at 7:46 pm
mrkeenan
Insightful comment Spencer, that’s exactly what it is. They have to test them out, to find out if they are going to fit in!
September 2, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Brittany Morrison
Somebody’s probably gonna get hurt here (I think)
September 2, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Nathaniel
The antagonist seems to be the blonde guy. He could cause many events to carry he story
September 2, 2010 at 7:51 pm
mrkeenan
Andy is the protagonist, even though the narrator is Red. Brittany, what is it about the scene that told you that something was going to happen?
September 2, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Brittany Morrison
I saw them fighting, and when people fight it tends to end with somebody getting injured, even if they’re just yelling at each other.
September 2, 2010 at 7:54 pm
mrkeenan
Why did Andy do this?
September 2, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Nathaniel
To build trust and show that he cares for others not just himself
September 2, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Kerri
Maybe the gaurds will treat him a little better and they’ll come to him for advice
September 2, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Shereen
No one realy gives a crap if a new guys but. If a older guy died it would be a big deal
September 2, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Nick Buckle
To feel normal again
September 2, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Paul lolcat Lees
To make freinds and fit in
September 2, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Shereen
To make friends
September 2, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Harrison
So that he can make friends rather than enemies
September 2, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Brittany Morrison
Told you someone’s gonna get hurt!

Hi Harrison
September 3, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Harrison
he’s making a name for himself by helping all the gAurds, it’s earning trust so he might get more privalges
September 3, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Allissia Clark
Intense? I don’t know. Back in time I’d say. The old guy is pretty emotional.
September 3, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Caitie
It’s very interesting actually if they taught like this a while ago I would have been excited to go to class. An yeah this movie is pretty intense I watch it every Saturday with my dad this is honestly my all time favorite movie besides the land before time
September 3, 2010 at 7:22 pm
mrkeenan
Glad to hear it…This is the first experience with this movie for most students…Interesting to see the transition by the end of the film…
September 3, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Harrison
Super bonus
September 3, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Nick Buckle
Old mans going to die
September 3, 2010 at 7:22 pm

September 3, 2010 at 7:23 pm
Harrison
Awwww man, old guy killed himself
September 3, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Caitie
It’s an extremely interesting transition this movie changes incredibly quickly
September 3, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Caitie
That part is my favorite part ever
September 3, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Nathaniel
Was that a flashback?
September 3, 2010 at 7:33 pm
mrkeenan
nope, no flashback…Well, no more than the whole film is…
September 3, 2010 at 7:35 pm
Harrison
Haha what a great voice that guy has
September 3, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Caitie
I agree with you Harrison
September 3, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Caitie
This movie is just a trick a whole lot of trickery and stuff like that
September 3, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Nathaniel
Is the rising action coming up?
September 3, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Nathaniel
The antagonist?
September 3, 2010 at 7:46 pm
mrkeenan
we are into the rising action for a while. However, the antagonist might be a surprise though…Who/what do you think it is?
September 3, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Nathaniel
The Antagonist has to be the goodie goodie owner of the prison. He can’t have the banker betray him or give him any problems
September 3, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Caitie
Oh no.
September 3, 2010 at 7:54 pm
Caitie
I would say that the warden is the antagonist but whoknows
September 3, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Harrison
Lol I’m pretty sure it is
September 3, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Harrison
HOLY $@&?………!
September 3, 2010 at 7:57 pm
mrkeenan
What does that mean, ‘obtuse’?
September 3, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Brittany Morrison
Btw, when does class end? It’s 1:59 pm right now.
September 3, 2010 at 8:01 pm

September 3, 2010 at 8:02 pm

K thanks!
September 3, 2010 at 7:17 pm
mrkeenan
How so Caitie? Is it good, or not so much…
September 3, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Brittany Morrison
The movie would be A LOT better if it didn’t have all those f-bombs in it (I really don’t like foul language)! I don’t know about the others, but I REALLY don’t need (or want) such garbage inside my head.
September 3, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Allissia Clark
Ya I’m not so big on that language either. I tend to just ignor it.
September 3, 2010 at 7:27 pm
mrkeenan
It does have alot of language, but it is indicative of the time and place. It sets the context for the world Andy is in. Not the best to hear, but it places him as an ‘outsider’ in this world. The harsher they are, the more noble Andy seems.
September 3, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Brittany Morrison
Looks I’m gonna have suck it up then. -_-
