I was a senior in High School Mr. Stone died, I attended Weequahic my four years in High School and his impact was MASSIVE...when he passed away it shocked me and everyone in that school. I was saddened and scared because the way he had the school under control(gangs and students) was commendable and vital to the function of Weequahic. He was an OUTSTANDING NO Mess around Principal. He was tough but he loved hard and really cared about us and wanted to see us thrive.

@07cw23569 Thank you so much for telling me about your experience with Mr Stone, it is very touching. He seems to have had a great influence on your life, I'm sure he would have been happy to know that. I really liked the documentary, the world needs a lot more people like him!

I had many encounters with him as a student some good some bad(lol), but a lesson in all. But a specific encounter was my junior year after all the standardized testing were completed, I'd saw him in the hallway and mentioned to him how excited I was that i'd passed and scored well on my test. He gave me a huge hug and told me how proud he was and that he knew I we could do it. At that moment it felt like my dad was speaking to me and it really warmed my heart. RIP Mr. Stone Magnificent Man!

where can i watch this??

[brooklynrambler]

i watched the one on bruno. It was a little rambling, but I think that's what makes your reviews so endearing. But I liked some of your insights; I think your perspective is a little offbeat. I personally don't feel like seeing the movie because i think it probably reenforces gay stereotypes whatever loftier goals it may have ( i think that's what made you so squeamish), but I'm sure its also sidesplittingly funny at times. Sasha B.C. is one very funny guy.

I definitely want to see this movie. I liked the way you added the old high school pics in your video and that shot with Mr. Stone in a bullet-proof vest (!!!), that really caught my attention.

Keep 'em coming - I trust your opinion!
