movie time

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Sunday morning, everyone will find a note under their door.

You are cordially invited to a movie marathon in the entertainment room! Come and go as you please!
After everything we've been through the last week, it would be nice to have a group activity where we can all relax, especially for Tails, Sonic, and Knuckles.
Our list of movies includes:
Shrek
Shrek 2
Jupiter Ascending
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition)
...and movies of your choice!

Bring snacks, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude! ☺

Yes, this is handwritten and copied for each and every person here. Or, at least each and every room.

The entertainment room itself has not been decorated or anything—this was not planned with that much foresight—but the chairs and couches have all been arranged so they're close together for maximum occupancy and maximum movie theater imitation. Some people will probably have to cuddle up on the floor against couches or find some beanbags or something, but it'll be cozy!

An amount of popcorn, soda, and candy have been provided, but you will probably need to restock at some point, especially if you're staying for the whole marathon!

[...this whole thing may seem a little lowbrow for him, but he is actually having a pretty good time. maybe that's because he brought some wine and is kicking it back. which may mean he is kind of. gripped by the hallelujah segment...???? not, like, openly weeping, just contemplative. you know how it is. he's thinking a lot of facts.

...there are definitely a few things he kind of... has to ask about, though. like the matrix segment during the fight with robin hood and his merry men.]

...I feel as though this movie assumes a great deal of knowledge that I simply do not have.

[ Ashley giggles a little- SORRY JASPER. ]

This was sort of more a pick for the kids, so, yeah, sorry.

[guffawsungraciously]

Well, it is not a bad movie for that purpose, necessarily. I feel like it may simply be a touch too referential to... other contemporary things, I suppose? Perhaps I should simply view more movies in order to understand...

[hashtagafreakingghost]

No, you're right there, I didn't remember it having that many pop culture references... You still followed the overall story, right?

[guffawsungraciously]

Oh, of course. The story was fairly straightforward, although I would presume our standard children's tales would be similar enough that it would feel subversive to the both of us.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Yes, I was kind of hoping that was the case. Some things are very different, if we're talking about the places we've come from, but, well, some have proven to be...a little universal. Basic storytelling, and what's usual about basic storytelling, seems to be one of them.
