a bunch of kids who invent their own college make of their own class schedule,
including such gems as “The Rise and Fall of Chevy Chase” and
“Walking Around Thinking About Stuff.” We asked the stars of
Accepted what fake classes they’d like to take and
here’s what they said:
Justin Long, Jonah Hill and Lewis Black on Fake Accepted
Classes
Justin Long: “How to Answer Interview Questions
You Aren’t Prepared For 101. Lately it would be, I’m in this
great relationship now but I’m discovering all these relationship
pitfalls like simple things I could have done to get myself out of an argument
like How to Diffuse a Potentially Serious Argument With Your Girlfriend
101. Simple things, flowers, ‘I’m sorry’, very simple
things but I didn’t know that and I’m discovering all that now
and I wish I’d taken a class on that before I got into the relationship.
I could have saved myself a lot of time and trouble.”
Jonah Hill: “I love music, so I would have like a really cool like
history of rock n roll, probably. I think that would be an awesome class.
I would go to the School of Rock. Like my friend in college, he went to
USC and took this awesome like History of the Beatles class. I would have
like an extensive history of like all my favorite bands. Like the Beatles,
and the Clash...Or a history of comedy. I think that would be an awesome
class, too.”
Lewis Black: “My class would be Just Give
Me Three Hours To Read In Total Silence. If I taught, I know what I would
teach. I'd teach, I have for years, I'd teach stand-up comedy. I did it
up at Williamstown for like 10 years and I did it for another theater for
a long time and it was teaching the experience of stand-up, because I think
it does that thing that Oprah likes to talk about, empowerment. It does
empower the individual. It's the closest thing you can come to that course
that that f***er was getting away with where he had people coming in and
they'd run over hot coals. Somehow their lives changed. But it's the same
sort of thing, especially for an actor or somebody in theater. It's the
only thing that teaches acting, writing and directing simultaneously. And
it's an easy course to teach, because inevitably the way it works is they
teach each other. Once they get rolling, I just do guidance.”
Accepted opens today, August 18th.
