The only TCF course I had was Motion Picture History and Criticism with Dr. Copeland. That's probably been 14-15 years.

Dear lord.
That place was Bama Beach Club in the 90s, then the Jupiter, then changed to something else a few years ago, them changed BACK to Jupiter a year or two ago.
Now it's Duid City Music Hall? Yeesh. Maybe the current owners will leave that alone for a good while.

I had that class and thanks to Brodie and West Britt I passed it. Had it once a week for 3 hours.... we read and talked the first half, got a break, and watched the movie(s) we disussed during the second half. I often left during the break and almost failed after realizing the midterm was all about the movies we watched.
I remember a lot of people were pissed that Dr. Copeland actually made it on par with a history course as far as difficulty. I was just happy to have a break from my math and science classes. We did a lecture hour on Monday and then a 2 hour session with a little lecture and a movie on Wednesday from 2-4. Hell, it was like going to a matinee every week.

He seemed pretty laid back. He was open on his obsession with zombie flicks and video games. He showed some pretty interesting videos, then sent a lot more via blackboard. We're using clickers in the class to take polls and that is apart of one of our grades. Anyways, he showed us a ton of videos, but here's some of my favorites:
I saw David Allan Coe perform there one night. I believe it was the Jupiter then, maybe the Varsity. If you know any of DAC's underground stuff, you know he's pretty rough on our African-American friends. He had a black drummer and did one of "those" songs. At the end of the song he stopped and said, "Okay, I promised Jerome (the drummer) that every time I do one of these songs, I'll let him have a moment." Then Jerome stood up from behind the drum-set, grabbed his nuts, and flipped everybody off.
Cool. I'll watch the vids when I get home. Watching them off WiFi drains the hell outta my data.
I really enjoyed our class. It was in the basement lecture hall in Lloyd when I had him.

They used to have some pretty big shows at that place. I haven't been inside the building in years. They sell beer from the sidewalk on gamedays which is kinda cool.
I think the owner has gotten into some pretty big trouble during the last couple of years. He got caught committing some kind of bank fraud and ended up in prison if I remember correctly. Im not sure who owns the bar now, but his troubles probably has something to do with the recent name changes.

Before Bama Beach Club, I believe that place was the Pitcher Show, a movie theater that served booze. Cutting-edge concept in the early 80's.
Before that, it was the Tide Theater, where, as a youngster, I managed to sneak in and watch Porky's (1982, I believe). Back in the day, that was quite the coup for a young buck such as myself...
Crazy. Young buck in 82? You can't be much older than me, then.

Go back, block him from exiting, and tell him he'll see pitch forks and torches if he doesn't fire Gaspard soon

My wife spilled coffee on the arm of my recliner. I wonder how long until the smell goes away.

I had Dreamland's for dinner, watched some TNF between the Bills and Browns, and now the 'Bama-Va Tech game from '09 is on ESPNCL. Pretty good fucking night.
