Spike Lee's School Daze Turns 20!
OK...I am feeling a bit 'long in the tooth' today as I'm knocking on 37's door:D...
Can you believe it's been twenty years since the release of School Daze?! Anyhoo, I posted some of my favorite scenes and thoughts about the flick on my blog. Watching the Alphas step still gives me chills (its sooooo ice cold!) |
I have School Daze on DVD and it's really interesting to watch with Spike's comentary.

They did a tribute to the movie in the latest issue of Vibe magazine (with Mary J. on the cover).

I read it; it was pretty nice. I can't believe that it's been 20 years ago! It seems like almost yesterday! |
Fortunately, the movie didn't come out until the year AFTER I crossed...!
I have the DVD and the soundtrak CD. I pop either one in once in a while just to reminisce. |

This is an interesting thread...
I am in a scene in School Daze. I am behind the president and his wife during the homecoming game, when he says "Don't Worry". I'm the one who has green leggings on... My friends and I were freshmen when Spike filmed the movie. One of the nights, I actually spoke to Spike--long story--anyhow, Morehouse and Spelman would not allow filming on their campuses because no "educational scenes" were filmed--only "party scenes". At least that is why Spike said. I missed the pool party because many of my classmates were sho up in there... I actually know the "young lady" who was the "Big Man's" love interest during the pool party scene. |
Oh, I definitely have to bring out my DVD tomorrow & catch that scene. I'll be looking for the one who has green leggings on...
In other news, we're having an 80s party Friday. I want to look flyy! Any pics/suggestions? |
i'm old but feeling good and loving life. i was in love with the character that we now know as gina - - - tisha campbell.

Tip: to those who have the updated DVD, you must watch the movie with the cast commentary turned on (Tisha Campbell, Rusty Cundieff, Darryl Bell, Kadeem Hardison, and Bill Nunn). It was HILARIOUS and a lot of fun to listen to.
