I took some film classes in college, and this movie got brought up a lot, but I've never seen it. When I search for it on Kagi, it suggests this as a frequently asked question, so looks like we might be in for a good time

Paperwork sucks, but I really appreciate that whoever wrote the example text for some of our reports made them hobbit-themed.

I secretly hope that someone has forgotten to replace the placeholder text in some of the real reports, meaning there is actually paperwork on file somewhere in the dusty archives of University bureaucracy claiming that a faculty member has taught "CS 1234 Second Breakfasts and How to Eat Them"

Who else learned how to drive like this? Just reacting to a projector playing a video of someone else driving. I believe it was generously called a "simulator"
