Did you get to meet him, ita?
Very casually, a few years ago. I was doing tech work in an office where he worked. It's weird, meeting people you had pre-pubescent crushes on. Especially when you're post-pubescent.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Okay, I thought the movie sucked too, but that's just a wee bit overboard.

I know, right? Can you sue a school for "showing a really fucking weird movie"?
And besides, I have this feeling that even if the pastor and wife had been pre-informed that the movie was going to be shown, they wouldn't have had a CLUE what it was.

Exactly why she shouldn't watch it. New things are scary.

What is even happening?
I agree that "emotional kidnapping and psychological rape" are three exits past rational, but what were the school administrators thinking, showing an R-rated movie (any R-rated movie) to 9th graders, without parental consent? An R-rating stands for something like "Restricted" and I think the age tag associated with it is 17 years old. Ninth graders are typically 13 and 14 years old, and maybe 15, in some cases. I'd be pissed if the school showed my ninth graders an R-rated film without my consent.
