Ebert & Roeper, is that you?

A professor when trying to convince us to watch the movie 'Iris' with Kate Winslet and Judi Dench, which he deemed had the best portrayal of Alzheimer's disease:

"If you're offended by nudity, don't watch it. If you're offended by one sex scene, don't watch it. If you're offended by F-word, no, two F-words, don't watch it."

Insert chuckles from the class here.

"It's a really good movie, you really should watch it. The nudity isn't a lot, it's just a younger Iris Murdoch played by Kate Winslet going skinny dipping on the river by her and her husband's cottage. If you've noticed by now Kate Winslet has no problem undressing in her movies, so there ya have it. Kate Winslet jumping into the water...naked."

Insert laughs from the class here.

"The sex scene you can't see anything from it. The husband came home and found her having sex with their friend, as he opened the door to their bedroom the camera panned to his face so you don't see much. So really, still go rent this movie."

Insert eye rollings from the class here.

"Then the F-word, you can't use any other word but it in that scene. The emotions, the drama, it really was the best usage of the F-word. You can't say any other word. you can't say 'Oh, Fickle!!!' No, you have to say Fu.... So go rent the movie, it's really good."

Insert "Do we get extra credit if we watch it?" from someone at the back of the classroom followed by a chorus of "Yeah" across the room.

"No, but you should watch it anyway."

Insert a collective disappointed sighs from the class.

"Now, moving on to the stages of Alzheimer's....."

"Oh thank GOD! I thought he was gonna go on about every single detail of this movie until class ends, " said A, the person sitting next to me.

"No shit. I thought he was going to bring it for us to watch after the test next week..." said the person next A.

"For shame, I would've brought popcorns," I said.

"I would've brought margaritas...." said A.

This class really amuses me sometimes.

I'm going to pick up 'Iris' once I'm done with test #2 next week and watch Kate Winslet jumps into the water (naked), and a sex scene where you don't see a thing (why call it a sex scene then? Heh....), and of course, the most appropriate usage of two F-words.

Oh, and while chugging down the margaritas too.....
