Bartleby Gaines: Oh, that's our mascot

Sherman Schrader: A sandwich? You're the SHIT Sandwiches?”

In 2006 a film was released featuring South Harmon Institute of Technology. South Harmon was a college created by a few high school students who were not accepted in to any colleges. They did this solely to please their parents, but ended up having a lot more fun than expected.

Bartelby Gaines, played by Justin Long, is the main character of the movie. He is a clever kid who unfortunately got denied by every college he applied too. His parents, his father in particular, were furious that he was not going to college, so Gaines comes up with the brilliant idea of creating his own college.

There was one problem with this college Gaines created, which was that anyone could attend the college. Literally anyone.

The base of the movie was built around the unique characters which attended the college. They made the college out to be a safe haven for kids who never made it and never succeeded in the early stages of their lives. South Harmon Institute of Technology was portrayed out to be a college that gave everyone a chance.

This movie is very similar to chapter 9, Growing Up Tethered. As the movie goes on Gaines and the other founders of the school become more and more committed to their college and make it part of their lives. Similarly in the chapter where it stated that kids were connected to their devices and they needed to be with them at all times.  Bartelby Gaines becomes committed to this school and fights for the college in court at the end of the movie.

This movie is not only a good story, but is hilarious. Accepted, is not as popular a movie as I thought it would be, but it is a great movie and I suggest that everyone go see it. 

Caddyshack

Bill Murray: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas.

Caddy: A looper?

Bill Murray: A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga

Caddyshack, released in 1980 and directed by Harold Ramis, is consistently ranked among the funniest movies of all time. This movie is unique in many ways.

First, there is no main character. Next, a large portion of this movie is based off of improv, and not off the script. There countless scenes in this movie, which are absolutely outrageous, because of the lack of organization.

Although, there is no specific main character in this movie, what most people remember about Caddyshack is Bill Murray.

Bill Murray plays a crazy groundskeeper, of the golf course presented in this movie. Murray is remembered for his wars with the gophers on the golf course, and his mumbling of words to nearly every other character in the movie. Also remembered is Chevy Chase; in this movie Chase plays a young, affluent, single man who comes to the course everyday. Chase is known as one of the best golfers at the course, yet everyday he does not keep score, and just plays for fun. Chase is perceived as a wise and all knowing character doing everything with grace, while being comical at the same time.

This movie will forever be my favorite movie, and I suggest that everyone have it in their household. There are a numerous amount of memories from this movie from all of the characters, and is one of the most quotable movies ever made.

Horrible Bosses   

“Charlie Day: [Talking to man on NavGuide] Hey I always wondered these kinds of things, but is your real name Gregory?

Atmanand: [in Indian accent] Um, no, sir. Standard NavGuide protocol is to use names American people find easy to pronounce. My real name is Atmanand.

Jason Sudeikis: You know what, buddy, I'm not gonna play by the rules. I'm gonna call you Akmantad.

Jason Bateman: Atmonent.

Atmanand: [slowly pronouncing] At-man-and.

Jason Sudeikis: I'm just gonna call you Gregory cuz that name is a fuckin nightmare, buddy, let me tell you.”

Horrible Bosses, released this past July was one of the comedy hits of the summer. Starring in this film was Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, and Charlie Day. All three of these actors were well-known actors in Hollywood, but were not quite household names. 

This movie however presented their real talents to the America.

Charlie Day has been co-starring in a popular, but fairly unknown television show called It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, where his high-pitched voice and crazy antics put the show over the top. Charlie Day did not miss a beat in this movie making myself many other audience members burst to tears. Charlie Day has been a phenomenal comedic actor for a quite a long time, and he is now finally getting the opportunity he deserves.

This movie helped all three actors make a significant name for themselves in the movie world. They pushed each other to the limit and left it all on the line. Similar to Justin Hall and his webpage, this movie pressed the actors to the edge. Whether it was the Actor Jamie Foxx having the name of “Motherf***er Jones” or if it was Charlie Day breaking and entering into another mans house and spilling all of his cocaine, this movie was literally crazy and was one of the best movies of the summer.
