neutral · AI labelView post →Not the main point but excellent use of the film poster for THE FACULTY (1998) to vilify academia (?)
neutral · AI labelView post →The Faculty was made in 1998 and was one of the last big 90s movie to use the trope of "nerd removes glasses to reveal literal supermodel"

Members of the Cornell University Faculty Senate have introduced a resolution for a vote of no confidence against the university administration for its handling of the 2024 alleged gang rape on campus, as calls for reform and accountability reverberate with hundreds of protesters gathering on campus.

neutral · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Body Snatchers (1955) by Jack Finney was adapted in 1956, 1978, 1993 & 2007. Many regard the Faculty and numerous other films as derivatives. The 1978 version is the mostly critically acclaimed & takes a darker tone than the novel. 👾🌎🛸 #filmsky #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m watching “The Faculty” again and whew, Josh Harnett’s voice. I mean, his everything in this movie but his voice really really takes me there.
positive · AI labelView post →How have I not seen The Faculty? Fun scifi horror B-movie that's very 90s

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m a huge baby—the closest thing to an R-rated horror movie I’ve ever seen is The Faculty—and frankly I much prefer the ads for this wave of horror to the torture porn of the early 2000s
positive · AI labelView post →It’s Josh Hartnett appreciation night. The Faculty followed by 30 Days of Night 😌 #horrormovies #horror #filmsky 🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →The Heritage Foundation also claims that "Black Lives Matter" and "antifa" are "backers" of a "Hamas Support Network." Also, a reference to the 1998 film, "The Faculty" is included. forward.com/news/680626/...
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching rewatching The Faculty. Such a fun, late ‘90’s movie!! 😃😃👍🏼 #MutantFam #HorrorCommunity #Horror
positive · AI labelView post →Today's a cheat cause I'm watching The Faculty, a movie I've seen at least 50 times. But it's for research. And I still love this movie.
positive · AI labelView post →All right, I've been missing the low-budget horror costumes I did streaming a while back, so I'm gonna throw them here. 😁 First round: Final Boys in Film Tommy Doyle (Halloween 6) Marty Mikalski (Cabin in the Woods) Jesse Walsh (NOES 2) Zeke Tyler (The Faculty)
neutral · AI labelView post →Btw, if you’re into the effects of THE FACULTY, I may know a book where you can read more about KNB’s work on the film: aminkpublishing.com/store/ols/pr... #fthismoviefest
neutral · AI labelView post →Hmmmm....what do ya'll think of this? #thefaculty being remade? We ask why? With so many great new ideas, why remake a solid movie instead of new ones like one based on @claymcleod.bsky.social newest mindfuck of #horror #wakeupandopenyoureyes ?
positive · AI labelView post →I still don’t know how this movie got made, but definitely go watch The Faculty to truly experience the late 90s

positive · AI labelView post →not the point of this post but you gotta laugh at them using a promo image from the 1998 Robert Rodriguez movie The Faculty under the followers heading
neutral · AI labelView post →Is that the poster from the 90s film The Faculty
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's #SlasherSunday pick isn't actually a slasher (some ppl need to update their Fav Slashers lists!) but a sci-fi horror. The Faculty has a lot of fun setting Invasion of the Body Snatchers into a high school teen movie. First-time watch so I didn't see that reveal of the Queen coming. #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →its a three way tie for me! The Craft: best witch movie ever and it ain’t even close. Arachnophobia: super icky nightmare fuel for those of us who are super allergic to bug bites. plus the casting is great The Faculty: horny, weird, gross and super fun, Rodriguez directs the shit out this
positive · AI labelView post →watching a horror movie that's been on my radar since I was a kid. Tuning into The Faculty. And... I got hit with the nostalgia of seeing this logo for these two production companies that feels so millenial to see.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok. If done right a sequel/reboot of The Faculty could be really good. But it’d have to be a continuation storyline with original cast members. Sadly not with legendary Piper Laurie. But a return is plausible. And that movie had an epic cast.
neutral · AI labelView post →Share a SCARY movie title that begins with the letter “F” 🎥 F is for… The Faculty (1998)
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m just glad that the news of a remake is going to drive more people to check out the absolute banger that is The Faculty
positive · AI labelView post →you should all get off the internet and go watch the 1998 film The Faculty instead

This week I cover the movie The Faculty with my guest Christopher James from @i_love_horror_podcast We talk about the themes of forced conformity and social hierarchy. Link in bio. #horror #horrorpodcast #horrorcommunity #thefaculty #horrortok
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched "The Faculty" recently. And while it's not a very good movie, it will always hold a spot in my heart. And honestly the cast feels pretty stacked - Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, Salma Hayak, Famke Janssen, Jon Stewart, Robert Patrick, just to name a few.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched 1998 banger The Faculty with my friends Leaf and Devi DRAGON REVIEW: A really fun movie that plays every idea it brings up entirely straight, with loads of charismatic actors playing stock characters that they still bring to vivid life! Absolutely worth a watch!
positive · AI labelView post →Absolutely blowing my mind to realize Doctor Abbott from The Pitt was in The Faculty and that’s why he looks so familiar (This movie rules)
positive · AI labelView post →Turns out we do need some education. Listen to the Final Girls Podcast and get schooled as they be about to drop science on the 1998 film the Faculty. #Horror #Horrorsky #Scifi #Movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I have a soft spot for DISTURBING BEHAVIOR because it's the kind of garbage we needed in SCREAM's wake but for me THE FACULTY isn't just some movie of that time, it's one that really represents the era in my mind, much like SCREAM itself in its way also I just like THE FACULTY more
positive · AI labelView post →Looking for input on these random movie thoughts: 1) in THE FACULTY, is Elijah Wood the final girl? 2) would DARKMAN technically count as a slasher? I’m sure @sgj.bsky.social has thoughts. Anyone else?

unlabelledView post →#Letterboxd #Lastfourwatched #Letterboxdfriday ##Filmsky Jack-O was bad. Bad acting, unimpressive deaths, poor story Weapons was creepy and good The Faculty is great. This was a rewatch The Guest well down but gets a little bogged down towards the end.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Faculty for the first time since I was a kid. I remember nothing from this movie except that I want to protect baby Elijah Wood. Also Usher is cute? Idk.
neutral · AI labelView post →Because I'm a crazy person, I did some research and I believe he is the fourth person from the movie "The Faculty" to have an Emmy win on his/her resume.
neutral · AI labelView post →this is unfortunately a charmless teen Stepford knock-off that was rightly overshadowed by another infinitely better film from the same year (The Faculty). even the now-famous cast lowkey sucks in this. at least the soundtrack features Flagpole Sitta, which is a huge plus.
positive · AI labelView post →Why are they remaking The Faculty? The film is one of the better 'teen horror' movies from the late 90s. Hollywood needs to look at new, fresh screenplays and stop this constant rehash/remake cycle they're on.
positive · AI labelView post →Horror Movie Hot Takes🎃 Nightmare on Elm Street? 1 best Friday the 13th? VI Scream 3 > Scream 2 Carrie > Shining underrated: The Faculty overrated: The Conjuring still scary af: The Exorcist best haunted house movie: Poltergeist best vampire movie: Only Lovers Left Alive
positive · AI labelView post →For no particular reason I decided to rewatch The Faculty, a movie I saw when it debuted and immediately dismissed. And like, it’s kind of good? It has an absurd murderer’s row of character actors, it’s silly in a self-aware “let’s roll with it” way, & it’s doin well with upending expectations.
positive · AI labelView post →The faculty in the movie The Faculty were so thirsty because they were on molly
neutral · AI labelView post →This is my absolute favorite movie of 1998. The Faculty. #fthismoviefest 🎥❤️
