Tits. Teachers. Tunes. Goofing off and cutting school and getting laid and making friends and on and on and on and on.

There’s a reason why films about high school – entering it, leaving it, surviving it – are a genre of their own, and a genre that just won’t die. It’s because we’ve all been through it. School, that is. We can relate. It’s a time when we start down the road towards becoming the adults we’ll be, when some of our deepest friendships are formed, and when any day could become a memory to last a lifetime.

Also, because tits and the chasing thereof, teachers and the mocking thereof, and tunes and the listening thereof never, ever go out of style. High school is a goldmine of stories to tell, a well that screenwriters return to time and again because the high school years are overflowing with insane, fun story material, and every new generation has its array of on-screen avatars to like, loath, relate to and revile.

That’s why is taking the first week of September to throw our hats in the same ring as your local superstore for a Back To School celebration … as only DIMP can do it. No, no sales on pencils and paper here, just a full week of the three T’s and some school film goodness. It is the first week of September, after all, a time when moms and dads are shouting with joys because those damn kids are back in school, and when kids get ready for another round of “What are the chances I can get laid this year?” What better time to wax poetic with some good old-fashioned nostalgia?

School! School movies! The very thought of a week’s worth of these modern day classics makes me feel young again. Only, you know, cooler than I actually was. No film is as too cool for school as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, a fun-packed dose of what it means to be a high school student with all the world at your beck and call. Could there be a better way to kick off Back To School Week? We think not. Take a gander at today’ review and know that you’re looking at greatness. Another shot of 1980s goodness follows when we tackle Heathers, a black comedy that for many 30 somethings (or nearly 30 somethings) is the definitive portrait of disaffection with cliques and popularity, a scathing critique on high school’s social structure, as well as a whole lot of anti-social fun.

And that’s just the start of our Back To School Week. I won’t spoil the rest. Rest assured, there will be more bodies. More teenagers. More laughs. And more death.

Oh, and some tits, teachers and tunes, too.

So tune in, turn on, and drop in as DVD In My Pants Goes Back To School! It’s sure to be fun.
