Maybe you are a Gabriella?

Lol, I was fine with it. But my senior year they had freshman on a different schedule than everyone else (& it was the first year they did it). I think cause they had the freshman have a little homeroom period or something (I to this day don't get what the fuck was going on) Since their class schedule was weird--there were different bells going off (one for freshman and one for the rest of the school, but it was the same goddamn bell sound). you'd think maybe they'd have theirs sound different, but no.. So I think their bell to leave classes was like maybe 5 mins later after our bells went off to leave class / be in the next class. It was confusing. I think we eventually (sort of) figured it out, but the bells are what gave me anxiety-- I was cool with the block schedule.

Ahh okay! in my high school your senior year, you were allowed to have half days (as long as it worked out with your schedule and you had enough credits for graduating). And we had "block days", with Mondays you'd go to all 6 of your classes (for like 50 mins). Tues/ Thurs would be just 1 2 & 3 (but be twice as long, so like 1 hour & 40mins in the 3 classes), and Wednesday/Friday be classes 4,5,6. But since I was in band 2nd period it messed up me having a half day every day (like most of my friends). So I only had a half day every other day, but that was still pretty sweet.

Do they have homeroom in the beginning and the end of the day? In the first one it seemed like it was in the morning and then #2 was the end of the day? I never had a homeroom or a "free" period in HS... so I don't really know how it works. but isn't homeroom essentially like a free period? And in the first HSM don't they have a free period too? How long are they at school everyday with so many homeroom & free periods?

Oh I know... awkward..

Couple IMDB trivia points I thought were interesting for HSM 2: worth it. and then found out that Miley had a cameo in HSM2. In the end song "All for One".. Did anyone else notice? Maybe I wasn't paying that much attention at the end.

Lol this is when they're in the locker room in the beginning of HSM 3 right? At that scene I thought at first they lost the game. But no, they had a whole quarter left (or half? Idk basketball that well). Their faces and the way they were acting, it seemed like it was all over. When I realized they did have another quarter I was like...calm down dudes. They weren't too terribly behind where it was impossible to catch up. And while they're sing-playing the last bit of the game, I was laughing when Gabriella popped up to give him some final inspiration (at the 2 min mark) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbK6w14OxAI&list=RDtbK6w14OxAI#t=106

I think 2 is worth a watch (I enjoyed slightly more than the first, even though it's more ridiculous--but that's what I liked). 3 I'd say no.

I love Weird Science..

If she thinks they're joking then just give the roles to Sharpay & Ryan...or yeah you're right, be an adult and ask them herself. but the "audition" song both pairs sing--- I like Sharpay & Ryan's version better tbh.. (I listened to some of the songs on Spotify yesterday, since most of them I forgot as soon as they were over in the movies--minus a couple) ETA: also want to point out I have incorporated MM songs in my spotify playlist. My bf/friends/family/any passengers I have in my car now think I am insane.

Yeah I didn't get that.. didn't she say something like "oh well if this day/time works out better for everyone"... she didn't even check if it really did. She just goes off what Sharpay/Ryan said. If she is that easily manipulated, Troy & Gabriella should have manipulated her to change it back? The very least just try to ask Ms. Darbus to change it back or do a different day all together.

yea, Gabriella was surrounded by Decathalon nerds

RIP

I feel like Taylor straight up hates Troy or has some sort of backstory to dislike him so much. She was kind of making fun of cheerleaders & other girls who had crushes on Troy, sets Troy up in the first one too to make him break Gabriella's heart..and in HSM 2 she's the one planting the idea about Troy flirting with Sharpay..

you can do a 7 day trial of the Starz app--and even can do it thru Amazon's streaming...just saying... (unless you've already done that)

He had every right to get jealous of Ryan.. Ryan ate Gabriella's mom's brownies. but seriously Troy-- why so jealous really? Gabriella had more of a case about being jealous of Sharpay. I was glad atleast Kelsi was the level-headed one & still nice to Troy, she didn't get all caught up in Petty Ass Reasons.

I get that. I did not want to additionally "gang" up on you about Crystal Skull vs. the Pratt Jurassic even though I know it's all in fun / no one is seriously mad (as far as I know..) I really did not like Crystal Skull, but did only see it the once in theaters. But I do think maybe it deserves a rewatch. I love Jurassic Park, but did enjoy Jurassic World (I do like me some Chris Pratt though...so maybe that's a major reason why I enjoyed it).

I was going to say something in that thread, but it seemed to get a little heated. So I didn't. No but Efron's number/scene prancing in the golf course deserves a star on it's own.

you rated HSM 2 on letterboxd before you finished watching?

I did watch HSM 3 last night, since I have Starz app and saw it was on there. I should have stopped after 2.

I just finished HSM 2 right now... the hats and outfits I do not hate nearly as bad in this but... this skirt... why? I like all the melodrama in this...I agree with Fister, "Petty-Ass Reasons" exactly... But enjoyed since it made me LOL more. I also liked Ryan in this more. And that him and other side characters were featured a little more in this one. And Troy's song number on the golf course is my favorite, I won't be able to look at current Efron the same after that.

I was not going to watch the others, but I may have to now...

My class size was similar and I agree. I think there were definitely cliques and different groups, but hard to say who were the "most popular". I guess I can kind of point out who (I'd consider) the "popular" kids/group were in my class. but even then you could break them up into different groups/cliques. So it was not really too prevalent in my everyday HS life if that makes sense? Like you could ask different people in my class to point out who the "popular" people were and you wouldn't get the same list every time. I agree that maybe it is more obvious in smaller schools or class sizes. Our class was the 3rd graduating class of our high school, and I could probably better point out who the "popular" group was from the first graduating class was--since it was pretty small..but after that not really. Cause after the first small graduating class, the classes were pretty large and only were larger and larger every year after.

I would have loved this
