It’s really nice to see some actors who really “get it”, rather than pretending they’re not also the monsters they portray.

A lot of aspects of the movie don’t hold up very well these days for obvious reasons, even taking into account the early 1960s setting. Still, it really is a landmark American film in a number of ways and deserves its place in the LoC registry.

Fraternities like the Omegas are an elitist, racist, sexist club, whose point is to exclude people that they don’t like. Then you have the Delta House where if you apply, you’re in. We take everybody. It was that contrast that people identified with.

The one frat at my school where I enjoyed hanging out (though I never joined) was the one that accepted everyone, it was even coed way back when the school went coed (without ever informing the national chapter, knowing full well they wouldn’t go for it.)

on Monday morning the crew would come to work quoting lines from the film: “Thank you sir, may I have another”; “Is that a pledge pin?”’ “Seven years of college down the drain.”

someone will ask – what are the chances we win this game? someone always replies: ZERO. POINT. ZERO. and it still gets the laugh.

Tim was also the voice of Johnny Quest.

And also played John (“You get”) Hoynes on “The West Wing”.
