The Film and Video Society held its third and final \u201cReel Wars\u201d debate of the school year on Wednesday, April 5, in which members and guests debated movie-themed issues for almost 90 minutes.\u00a0 This evening\u2019s event covered movies made by Disney and Pixar.\u00a0 A close competition ensued, with Team Dreamworks defeating the Evil Regals, 3 rounds to 2.\u00a0 Two 2-person teams competed, before an audience of 20 people.<\/p>\n

Evan Kramer moderated the contest, and Richard Williamson served as Timekeeper. The five debate rounds centered on the discussion of questions (chosen by Jonathan Bice): 1. What Disney animated film deserves a live-action treatment?\u00a0 2. Of four movies found in the bargain bin at Walmart (\u201cPlanes,\u201d \u201cThe Sorcerer\u2019s Apprentice,\u201d \u201cLone Ranger,\u201d \u201cMars Needs Moms\u201d), why is your movie better?\u00a0 3. What movie franchise should Disney purchase and reboot in upcoming years?\u00a0 4.\u00a0 What Disney character needs their own spinoff movie?\u00a0 5. Which Disney film, live-action or animated, would be improved if the character, Jack Sparrow, were added to the story?<\/p>\n

The Team Dreamworks group consisted of Jabari Bennett and Quinnon Wiggins, and their rivals, the Evil Regals, were populated by Nathan Ragland and Tiffany Padgett.\u00a0 Judges included Maxwell Steele.\u00a0 The Film and Video Society will also host the Mass Media program\u2019s End-of-the-Semester Student Film Showcase on Sunday, April 30, from 4-6 p.m., in the Student Union Theatre.\u00a0 The club meets every first and third Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in the Mass Media building.\u00a0\u00a0 Please email FVS President Nathan Ragland at ndragland@valdosta.edu<\/a> for more information about the group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
