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  ...
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!)

School Daze
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?

One of my chapter sorors and her twin sister were in the bathing suit party scene--doing the butt--lol. They were Sigma Chapter Deltas--Clark College.
