He brought a blender into class on the first day. He threw some pig brains and some calf brains into the blender, hit frappé, and said, “That’s the only meeting of the minds I want to hear of in this class.

Compared to him, Professor Kingsfield was a breeze.

I rewatched it. I never have been able to figure out what the hell the two lead actors saw in each other. I found them both to be self absorbed, immature individuals who were total bores. Maybe that is what brought them together.
