![]() ![]() I had gone to Harvard that had the dining clubs but not the skull and bones, the secret societies. The Skulls was a very intense set because I had in my mind that I was telling the story of George Senior and George W Bush. He has an odd view on his work on The Skulls. The director? Rob Cohen continues to make terrible movies. Paul Walker went on to be a huge star before his tragic death. They went on to make a Skulls 2 and a Skulls 3. The Mandrakes die and Luke turns down the Senator’s offer and he walks off with Chloe. That doesn’t change – they see that Will was alive after the fall, but the cops are complicit in Skull World Domination and Luke is put in a mental hospital and escapes and ends up in a duel with real guns with real bullets in broad daylight somewhere in New Haven with a bunch Skulls in tuxedos. Nothing about the story so far makes much sense and the level of Skull pervasiveness is just ridiculous. There’s so much absurdity going on, you just kind of go with it. Back in Chloe’s room she admits to Luke that she loves him. Chloe and Lucas stage a public scene at school so the Skulls will think they are no longer acquainted and Chloe will be safe. The vote is defeated by Senator Levitt who feels the society is taking measures too drastic, but he is blackmailed by Mandrake into passing the vote. Meanwhile, the Skulls Chairmen meet and Mandrake calls a vote to secretly remove Luke from the society by forcefully admitting him into one of their mental hospitals. ![]() (Except it was filmed at the University of Toronto – although to be fair, they did a good job of aping Yale’s architecture and vibe I guess.) So, yeah, this is Yale and the movie takes place in New Haven. The big rowing race feature opponents in crimson and white jerseys with H’s on them. They even wear Yale colors and the gym features a big blue “Y.” And, “The Skulls” is a reference to Yale’s infamous Skull and Bones secret society. That university is never named, but it’s Yale. Pacey plays Luke, a townie working class former delinquent attending a university. Not just an athlete, but we’re led to believe he’s pretty much the top rower in the country. Better yet, Pacey is the star athlete in The Skulls, not the insanely cut up Paul Walker. Not just because it stars a young Paul Walker and Joshua Jackson who was in the middle of his run as Pacey on the super popular show “Dawson’s Creek.” In other words, Pacey was the star at the time, not Paul Walker. It’s awful.Īnd yet strangely compelling at the same time. In fact, some of the stuff that happened in 2000 was pretty bad. Remember how in the 1970’s, 80’s, and 90’s the year 2000 was going to be awesome? Everything was going to be futuristic and cool and, well, awesome!Īs it turned out, not everything in the Year 2000 was awesome. ![]() Religion, Remembrances, Statuary, & Outdoor Art.Towers, Bridges, Forts, Tunnels, Roads, Canals, Dams, Fishways, Airports, & Ferries.Houses, Communities, Urban Legends, Lighthouses, Libraries, Schools, Businesses, & Theaters.Sports, Thrills, Cruises, Trains, Fairs, Parades, & Events.Animals, Farms, Gardens, Plants, Trees, Rocks, Waterfalls, & Caves.Firsts, Onlies, Oldests, Largests, Longests, Mosts, Smallests, & Bests.Homemade Ice Cream, Cheese, & Chocolate Trails.Best, Historic, & Unique Restaurants & Foods.Cycling, Multi-Use, & Rails-to-Trails Paths.Audubon, Nature Conservancy, RWA, and US Army Corps of Engineers Trails. ![]()
