Bond Post: Gifts and Movies

[schrodingerscockroach]

Who: Heroes
When: Day 40 Afternoon To Evening
Where: Lounge Car

[So this afternoon, there will be a smell in the lounge car. Namely, Pizza. After a little bit of trial and error for some of the extra ingredients, Dusk had figured out the right ratios for pizza dough and the rest was just not burning the whole thing. Which he managed to succeed at, judging by the rather good smell.]

[As the last of the pizzas were cooking, he jogged the length of the train, knocking on team doors with a call of 'movies in the lounge car' through the door before he was off to pass the message. For those curious, they will come to find Dusk in the lounge car, having brought a few more tables from the dining car upstairs to the public lounge, setting out pizza and carbonated drinks. Chairs and couches and various form of sitting has been pushed to more easily see the large TV.]

[Once a decent number of people have gathered, Dusk will be by the TV.]

So I've been informed a number of you don't know what movies are. Today, we're going to fix that. For reference, what we're going to watch is a fictional story.

Its called Star Wars and those of you know the story? No spoilers.

Let's get started.

Bond: Gift Giving

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Welcome to Free Food. Don't need to do an RP comment, but a comment would be nice just for bond number tracking.]

[There is an assortment of pizza. Classic pepperoni, cheese, vegetarian, meat lovers, even one without cheese, because Dusk is considerate like that. There's enough food to feed a full six teams, minus a few people from his trial and error, so plenty of food.]

[About the same with drinks. An assortment of sodas for all to enjoy.]

Movie Reactions

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Man, Star Wars sure is full of drama and twists and turns and probably daddy issues. And people who have no idea any of those twists are coming.]

[How do they react?]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Listen, he just did a bunch of cooking, so he's going to enjoy some food and drink and just enjoy watching everyone react to the ancient classics of cinema.]

[Also he's got a kitten whose going to climb on anyone near him.]

[ At the very beginning of A New Hope: ]

Who's the guy with the badass armor?

[ Vader. He means Darth Vader. ]

Re: Movie Reactions

[schrodingerscockroach]

...huh, not the aesthetic I would have pegged you liking.

Re: Movie Reactions

[bad_crowmance]

What's not to like? It's a great aesthetic!

Re: Movie Reactions

[schrodingerscockroach]

It's a look befitting the character.

[AKA main villain.]

Re: Movie Reactions

[bad_crowmance]

You mean, "Coolest guy in the movie?"

Re: Movie Reactions

[schrodingerscockroach]

Well, depends who you ask. Lot of cool guys in the movie.

[Or at least pretending they're cool.]

Re: Movie Reactions

[bad_crowmance]

They've already got a pretty high bar to beat.

Re: Movie Reactions

[schrodingerscockroach]

I don't know, you might like Han.

[Mister thinks he's cool guy totally in love with the awesome lady lead.]

Re: Movie Reactions

[bad_crowmance]

Well, looks like we'll find out when we get to him.

[ But Vader's pretty damned cool. ]

Re: Movie Reactions

[schrodingerscockroach]

Guess so.

[But be a bit. Gotta meet Luke and all.]

Re: Movie Reactions

[bad_crowmance]

[ Gotta meet Luke! For his part, Crow seems pretty engaged in watching the story unfold, even after Vader has left the screen. ]

Re: Movie Reactions

[schrodingerscockroach]

[It's a classic Hero's Journey, what's not to like?]

[bowtiedbones]

[eliza's here! and eating pizza! and in new pajamas because clover can't have ALL the cute onesies to themselves]

Are we watching all three tonight? Because I will fall asleep.

Re: Bond: Gift Giving

[bowtiedbones]

[eliza will be eating pizza. eliza will also be drinking Sprite mixed with Dr. Pepper every refill.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Of course we are. I can't deny everyone the full journey and getting them all again might be difficult.

[bowtiedbones]

You may need to disclaim that most films aren't watched in 6 hour blocks if you do want to get everybody again.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I'll clarify it when I put in the second one. But for the ones unfamiliar, they might be curious enough to not care.

[bowtiedbones]

Well, and if they stick through it, then we'll know a Lord of the Rings marathon will work too.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Exactly. This is a good test.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh! And Titanic. It's only three hours, but that's on one movie.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I did say I'd get more romances. Just the original though, the sequels were either in bad taste or weird. No spaceship that size would be taken down by just grazing an ice comet.

Goodness, you surely have outdone yourself going far and beyond for your fellows. I highly appreciate your interest in the arts even if it is a medium I am not familiar with.
