I have a basic question.
Why are they officially showing any movies on campus?
Same reason they are reading books.
“Why are they officially showing any movies on campus?”
Rachel Jankowski, on the film, says the university started showing films on Friday night so perhaps students would go to the movies instead of going to bars and getting drunk or doing other things that weren’t healthy for them.
When my daughter attended Georgetown University, I was visiting and saw “silence of the Lambs” with her and her friends.
That was a long standing weekly routine organized by the students themselves. If you weren’t inclined to enjoy the movie, you simply didn’t attend that night.
I never heard of a “group” petitioning to censor the current choice. That is such a koranimal, gay mafia or feminist thing!
If it wasn’t such a ridiculous question, I would answer it.
Wholesome, affordable, safe entertainment. When my kids were in college, tickets to the campus movie were generally only 2 or 3 dollar. I appreciated the college supporting that student activity versus the kids going off-campus looking for fun.
Why not?
I'd bet most every college campus has a movie theater, as well as many other recreational activities for students, many of whom don't have cars to drive or much money to spend.
She explained it as an alternative to frat parties and getting drunk
