One of the kids from the DePauw newspaper posted some photos from last spring's staff party on the paper's bulletin board. I found one to be an eerie echo of the past... DAMN IT, MAHONEY: After the 80's gave us a dizzying run of six Police Academy movies in six years, many would have thought the Police Academy franchise was dead. (Don't even bring up 1994's Police Academy: Mission to Moscow. Just don't.) But -- and only God knows why -- over a decade after the last installment, Lassard and his cadets are back in uniform for Police Academy 8. Seriously. Police. Academy. Fucking 8. Really, guys. I totally lost interested after PA5: Assignment: Miami Beach.
