DE: Show time!

[bjornwilde]

 I'm on my way out the door, so pulling one from the DE suggestion box (which is getting empty). From pullsneedles  today:

It's time to go to the movies!

 

Does your pup want to go? Do they want to bring anyone (makeouts optional) or are they going solo? Do they try to get a discount ticket? Do they opt for 3d? Do they buy snacks or sneak them in? Popcorn? Milkduds? Blue frozen margaritas and Philly cheesesteaks? (Because some movie theatres just have better options than others.) Are they the jerk talking on their cellphone during the film? Do they talk back to the film? Do they stay to see if there's anything after the credits? Leave during the middle to use the bathroom and miss the best scene or hold it 'til the end? Or will they avoid the whole mess and wait for it to come out on blu-ray?

Jess loves movies but prefers them to be a group thing. With Stark's preference for large monitors, I am quite sure she is a driving force behind movie nights at the Avengers tower. I think she throws herself into the story and will react to the tone of the movie. If is it campy, she will gasp and over react. If it is dramatic, she'll likely be the one clutching a box of tissues. And now I want a MSTK style Avengers AU.

Hank grew up on serials and movie matinees. He gets lots of snacks and is quiet throughout the whole movie.

Ethan would love modern movies. He's already seen a motion picture and loves the penny arcades. He would stay for the entirety of the film and just love the shared experience, whether he is alone or with someone.

I should answer my own suggestion, yes?

Lucas could warm up to the idea of going to the movies, provided it's not like the cinema in New Pork City. He'd like to go with a group and could probably manage to get a kid's ticket for himself. He might not fully understand movie etiquette, so he'd have to learn being quiet, both in speaking and not snacking too loud. He'd want to see the lighthearted animated family features. (But maybe avoid some of the Disney movies, at least the ones with a focus on the absent parents.)

Lohengrin doesn't particularly want to go to the movies, but he can see the appeal. Of all of my pups, he's the most likely to go to the movies by himself, though he'd prefer company. He, too, might not understand the common courtesy of remaining quiet throughout the movie and possibly treat it like a stage play. He might not get snacks, either. It's only an hour or two, right, so what's the point? As for what he'd see, I can't think of him being too picky. He would probably just ask for a ticket for whatever the next show is.

Mia, by virtue of being a mother with small children, would most likely wait until it's out for home media and rig a way to watch it. Mostly kid-friendly fare for the boys, but she'll want some Mel Brooks movies for herself and Draco.

Annabelle would be decidedly confused by a modern day movie theater. In her day, they showed not only the main feature but newsreels, cartoons, and serial stories as well. Plus, concessions were sold OUTSIDE the theater by entrepreneurs. She might also get kicked out of the theater if an action movie was playing, because she would either be telling whoever she went with about the time she topped that stunt or complaining about how things don't work like that.

Kreyu has never seen a movie, being from the mythological era. She'd find them interesting though!

Ibani has also never been to a movie. Although I am giggling at the thought of her seeing the Star Wars movies and complaining about the acting. >.>

Clem: Goes with Sam. They get drunk in the back row on snuck-in beers and make out obnoxiously.

Dixie: Brings Brisco and a large amount of wine. The picture is surprisingly enticing but she manages to unbutton his shirt anyway.

Juliet: Icies, popcorn, Shawn, the world's loudest 80's action film, and trivia debates all night.

Pinkie: MOUNTAINS OF CANDY. And a big, shiny musical movie through which she talks nonstop.

Eponine: French cigarettes and cheap wine. The movie's made better by the company - her brother.
