Loved it. We just had one of those ultra-important meetings, to read over the testing manual and find all the mistakes (you know, instead of the testing company hiring editors). Complete waste of time.
I watched a fantastic movie about teaching this weekend: Waiting for Superman. It was so moving, so honest……… No, just fucking with you… The movie’s titled Detachment. Adrien Brody plays the main character, a sub who comes to a shitty high school for a month-long assignment. It’s funny, and depressing (like our jobs). It doesn’t pull any punches and -thankfully- it doesn’t scapegoat teachers for all of society’s problems. Check it out if you can find it.
I have to respectfully disagree with you–Detachment might have been a great movie had they fleshed out the teacher (& the principal) characters more–especially James Caan & Blythe Danner. The acting was terrific, but the plot was all over the map with the main character’s personal life. It was VERY depressing, & who needs more of that?!
Teachbad, as usual, your video is HILARIOUS!
For more laughs, everyone go see The Three Stooges. I laughed so hard that my waterproof mascara ran down my face.
“It was VERY depressĀing, & who needs more of that?!”
I do… I liked that the film did not end with one of those super-happy “things worked out after all” scenes. I hate those. They make me gag more than smile. For many people, things do not always work out in the end. Detachment is a film for those people.
Yeah, I’m lots of fun to be around…
Thank you for disagreeing respectfully though; most people wouldn’t take the time to preface their words with that.
I didn’t get around to watching this until now. Superb, as usual. And is it just me, or do the voices sound more expressive? I don’t know a lot about Xtranormal…do they let you use recorded voices instead of the fake computer ones? The expressiveness made this one that much funnier.
Nicely done.
Perfect.

Glad you noticed. And thank you. I am now able to record my own voices, so they are both me. It’s a lot more fun.
