One disadvantage to letting your students turn in research papers so close to the end of the term (especially if you're a procrastinator) is that it seems to take forever to get them graded. Read: All-nighter. One bonus to all-nighters, though, is catching all the "oh, I remember that one!" movies at 2 am on We and other related channels. My treat for last night: Point of No Return, the American remake of Luc Besson's Nikita. Bonus treat: Dermot Mulroney as young sexy hero. Rowr. This picture is from one of his young sexy years, but even though he's quite gray nowadays, he's just looking better. Rowr indeed.
DINNER LIST: GEORGE LUCAS
DS has been obsessed with one of his birthday presents, Lego Star Wars for the Gamecube, and as he plays, I thank George Lucas. This is that man who brought us Luke and Leia, Han Solo, Wookiees, droids, and yes, Jar Jar Binks (even geniuses fire a dud every once in a while) and changed how we think about movies. As a teacher, I love receiving copies of Edutopia, published by the George Lucas Educational Foundation. This is a guy who knows how to use his imagination, and better yet, how to listen to freakin' teachers, for crying out loud!! Too bad more guys like him aren't in charge of official education policy.
