trans_9 | We've got Movie Sign! [Open]

Deep from the dank, dark bowels of the Media Library... IT CAME! FROM THE CELLULOID!

Five terrible movies guaranteed to give you CHILLS! THRILLS! Or maybe just, I dunno, a vague sense that the universe has wronged you somehow and you want several hours of your life back.

Today, anyone walking into this particular Sensorium would be greeted by the sight of a late 20th century darkened movie theatre, playing a quintuple-feature consisting of old Earth movies that were honestly not very good. At the bottom of the seating area was some dude giving out free popcorn, candy, and drinks.

Howard, Zouichi, Allenby, and Jr. were around, and anyone else was welcome to walk in and join in.

[each of the movies is listed below, just tag in wherever you want. I put a small link in each movie's post so you can have some idea of what the movie is about, although honestly I would say that the movies themselves often do not actually know what they are about. All threads are open unless labeled 'closed'.

P.S. I'M SO SORRY I SHOULD HAVE PUT THIS UP EARLIER]

Diana had chosen to see Rubber after only being mildly surprised to find the main plot did not seem to be about some teen falling pregnant by some split condom.

Good. She wasn't in the mood for some light hearted comedy about the awkwardness of teen life and it's upsets. Everything was still too new, she was still recovering, she'd need time before she could hide herself in those old comforts.

Plus, the idea of pregnancy hit a little too close to home.

This was hilarious though. How serious it was being played out.

She did flinch a little at the first killing. She'd never been the squeamish sort but after seeing death with your own eyes it sort of left a mark. Diana decided to persevere though, she wouldn't let this become a weakness, so she resolved to watch all the death scenes without looking away, though for comfort she would chew one of the unpopped kernels. That was what any extra food was now. A comfort. A luxury. A gift.

Diana had curled her lithe body up comfortably into the seat, making herself at home. A pile of confectioneries in the seat next to her.

Howard also has his stack of Sensoriums food, although since he's been here longer and has been able to get a little more used to the idea that you don't have to devour everything perishable as it presents itself, it's a little bit of a smaller pile and thus can sit comfortably at his feet.

He is slightly weirded out by how not weirded out he is by the psychic tire. I mean, whatever. Supposedly they had a sentient puddle of blood aboard the ship for a while.

He's not even quite sure where to start making fun of it.

"How can the tire hear the person begging him to blow her head off? Tires don't really have ears."

As Diana drank some of her customary slurpee, she chewed the straw in thought.

"Doesn't that mean it wouldn't have heard the police sirens at the beginning?"

She shook her head, popping a handful of pick'n'mix into her mouth. "Which would pretty much stop the entire movie from happening."

"True point." He drums his fingernails over his front teeth while deciding between Whoppers and popcorn. He chooses popcorn. "I just never thought I'd have to suspend my disbelief over the lack of ears on a psychic tire."

"Please. I want to know why the tire in the only thing with powers. Where are the 2x4s that shoot out balls of light?" Diana sucked off the sour flakes that'd stuck to her fingers from the worms.

"That's for the sequel, duh." Howard sucks on a strawberry belt. "You know, this tire could have made a killing in the advertising business if he could have just kept his homicidal tendencies to himself. Michelin would have shoveled suitcases full of cash at him."

"The sequel?" She turned to Howard, flashing him a smile. "What? Woody?"

"What's a tire going to do with money, Howie?"

Diana actually gets a snort out of Howard from that one, which quickly turns into a bit of a cough as he inhales popcorn.

"Buy chains for off-roading, duh." Howard gets an odd thought. "Wait, if tires are alive, does that make eighteen-wheelers like, truck harems or something?"

Diana has to cover her mouth as she giggles into her palm.

"Oh, so tires need bling now? We'll just put some fake diamonds on some chains and we're all set for making money from knock offs."

She pops a hard boiled sweet into her mouth, sucking on it. "Which just raises the question, is Michelin a sex trade industry for tires?"

"Yeah, and we can do logos for all the good tire brands on big blingy gold plates and sell them for thousands. Michelin, Firestar, Goodyear. Then get sued for copyright infringement."

Just because Howard has zero interest in getting physical with anyone doesn't mean tires having sex isn't hilarious to talk about. Even with Diana. "And what does that make snow tires, the sneaky mistresses of the tire world?"

"Sounds like a plan."

"Maybe." She leaned back in the seat, relaxing. "And racing tyres must be the prostitutes. You know, since they're got hardly any tread." She smirked slyly.

"Sort of gives new meaning to the words 'spare tyre'."

Howard giggles. "Good point. Di, I think you're on a roll."

Ba-dum tish.

Hikari blinked, looking at the movie and then her tub of popcorn. This movie was just completely... well, completely ridiculous. A tire. Killing people. With psychic powers.

Was it psychic powers? It sure looked like psychic powers.

She looked over at the other girl who was near her. "Umm... are you okay?"

Diana arched an eyebrow slightly. "Me? I'm fine."

Chewing on a strawberry belt, she remarked sarcastically. "I'm just marveling on how well they had a tyre portray emotions. I can really tell what he's thinking."

Hikari smiled. "Oh. Sorry about that. But yeah, that is a bit strange and amazing that they've managed to do that. Though the plot seems to be complete nonsense."

"I'm more surprised you expected a sensible plot." Diana commented, sipping on her drink.

Hikari just giggled. "I wasn't, but I didn't know anything about the movie before I came here. Other than it's supposed to be bad, anyway."

Diana smiled. "Is it living up to that expectation for you?"

Hikari giggled at that. "Pretty much," she answered, smiling. Not that it wasn't fun to watch, at least.
