We've got Movie Sign! [Open]

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

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]

N'tho paused. Was this considered a weakness? Perhaps. But then again, perhaps not. He'd be truthful.

"I cannot," he confirmed in a mutter, then returned his attention to Howard. "Yoshi" was an entirely unfamiliar word, but it appeared to be a name. Humans, he recalled, were not courteous enough to include their clans in their names.

"Yoshi's the dinosaur that Mario rides on and...holy shit that is not Yoshi."

Yoshi has been turned from 'the best part of the game' to 'ugly wimpy slave dinosaur with dead, dead eyes'. Howard stares on in relative horror before turning back to N'tho. "So what's your name, Big Guy?"

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Zouichi did not understand how this movie was about plumbers who rode dinosaurs.

"My name is Kanoe Zouichi," he offered, giving N'tho a nod of acknowledgment. "But Zouichi is fine. May I ask what you can digest?"

[warriorraceguy.livejournal.com]

"N'tho 'Sraom." He dipped his head formally. "I am Sangheili, and proper food is food that must be killed."

Not that he'd had the luxury of actual meat in several years.

"What is a dinosaur? Is this an imaginary creature, then?"

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Howard actually sorts that that's Zou's first question.

"You sound so picky," Howard says with a shake of his head. "And your name sounds like a tonguetwister. I'm Howard."

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

"A dinosaur is a prehistoric earth animal, generally taking the form of a land-going reptile. The most famous of them were quite large. We ran into some on a mission once."

And it was the best, okay.

[warriorraceguy.livejournal.com]

N'tho memorized the names for future reference, and squinted at this alleged "dinosaur".

"This one is quite small," he observed. "Too small to serve as a mount for a child."

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"Good point, Big Guy. I have no idea how he's going to carry Bob Hoskins around." Howard shoots a glance at Zouichi. "And that mission sucked, remember? You sound so happy about it."

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

"It was pretty bad," said Zouichi, "But I did get to see some dinosaurs."

Lalala, denial is the best way to deal with horrid missions where you have to dress up like a French maid.

"Anyway, perhaps he's a baby Yoshi."

"Is that really not Yoshi?" Jr. asked Howard as he tapped his chin. "I mean, the special effects back then aren't that good, but ... I think it looks pretty cool."

Jr. was obviously not familiar with what Yoshi really was.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"Have you ever actually seen Yoshi?" Howard places a hand in front of his face as if trying to actually block the image of live-action Yoshi from infecting him. "Yoshi doesn't look like a dead-eyed velociraptor. I mean, forget it. My stuffed velociraptor looks more alive than that thing."

[carrieswar.livejournal.com]

"Nope." Jr. shook his head. "You said he's a dinosaur, right? Isn't that how they're supposed to look?"

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"Yeah, but that looks like a real dinosaur. You know, the kind that eats teenagers. Yoshi's supposed to be cute and adorable and eat apples and cactus dudes." Howard scowls at the screen.

[carrieswar.livejournal.com]

Yoshi kind of sounded like a dork, compared to what was on the screen.

"Oh, so he's supposed to be like ... a cute mascot?"

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"Exactly. He's adorable and totally the best part of the game. He doesn't look like, like...that. This dinosaur looks all pathetic and mangy."

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari blinked, looking over at the screen and the horrible not cute-ness that the movies version of Yoshi was. "How... how could they make Yoshi look like that? Did they even play the games at all?"

Hikari didn't really play video games that often, and was way too young to remember Super Mario World from when it was new, but god, even she knew that was done completely wrong.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"I think they just hated children," Howard says, sounding a little shell-shocked. That's not an undue conclusion about the film.

"So. How about that mission?"

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari smiled, nodding a bit. "That... well, I can believe that."

Sure, she was joking a bit, the movie probably wasn't that bad, though it was still horrible. But yes, change of topic.

"It went pretty well," she said. "We did exactly what we were supposed to do and helped them cure that disease before most of them infected with it died. I've been involved in fights that have gone way worse for us than that."

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

The movie is that bad.

"I didn't even get half as banged up as I usually do on missions. So I guess, in a weird way, that was the best mission I ever been on." He shrugs. "Was that guy like a comic book supervillain or what?"

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari blinked. "The one we fought? Yeah, I guess. That or maybe a bad RPG villain, but I don't really play many video games, so I can't really know for sure."

She looked over at him. "How many missions have you gone on?"

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"Oh, you're right. Way more RPG than comic book. Except the 'you fools', that was pure Magneto."

Howard licks his finger and counts off on the other hand. "Counting that one? Epicurea; got bitten by a dinosaur. Galilee; got humiliated by a toddler and bled on a lot. That one planet; got choked and shot at with lasers. And that's it. I'm looking forward to the on where I end up legitimately dead. You?"

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari knew he was kidding about looking forward to being dead, but she still couldn't bring herself to laugh. "Well, there was the mission where we got the Tapestry for me, and that other one. Unless you count the battles on Zokez II and Lirath, anyway. Neither of the first two went all that bad as far as me being hurt went. I did break my arm during that first Ohm attack."

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

That's alright. Howard's not laughing either.

"You got full range of motion back, I hope?" He stretches his arm out as if in sympathy.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded. "Yeah. I'm lucky that it wasn't worse than it was. From the height I fell... well... it could've been a lot worse."

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"What happened?" It's more curiosity than sympathy in his voice.
