I'll Watch Anything: JB Watches The American President

 When I discovered that Patrick intended to make I’ll Watch Anything a (semi) regular feature here, I was, quite frankly, shocked. One thing Patrick and I agree on is how obnoxiously some people will insist you watch their favorite movie, especially once it becomes clear in the workplace or family that you are the MOVIE GUY. I have been teaching Film Studies in a public high school for almost thirty years, so imagine how many times well-meaning (pain-in-the-ass) colleagues have brought me their copy of Boondock Saints or Requiem for a Dream and INSIST THAT I WATCH IT. Similarly, students just starting out on their personal “movie journeys” are always asking me if I have ever seen A Clockwork Orange or Evil Dead 2 or Fight Club or Eraserhead, as if they are the only ones who have ever heard of these movies.

Patrick and I once admitted to each other that we would often take the goddamned DVD, just to get the person off our backs, keep it for a few days, and return it unwatched, with a knowing nod and a declaration of “Interesting!”

So Patrick has suggested that I watch Rob Reiner and Aaron Sorkin’s 1995 film, The American President. This I have done. What did I think of it?

Interesting.

F This Movie! - Erich's Favorite Movies

The Favorite Movies series continues as Patrick is joined by Erich Asperschlager for a discussion of his favorites. The whole thing is pretty introspective and bittersweet and scored by '60s acoustic rock. It's just Erich's thing, man.

F This Movie! - The Princess Bride

Patrick and Doug apply the Goonies Derivation to Rob Reiner's 1987 classic The Princess Bride and come up with very different results. Spoiler: one of them is right.
