Movie Night!

► By a more or less positive stroke of fortune, this is what it sounds like: characters spend an evening with each other watching a movie. Simple, right? It can be!

► Unless you want to meme it up a bit by saying that characters will find that they cannot leave the area -- be it a movie theater, someone's living room, a drive-in theater -- until they've watched the entire movie.

► Somehow, Fate/the Universe/God/Unseen Overlord will know if you try to cheat and might just be in the mood to set you straight; trying to look away during the scary part? Good luck -- you might find that the video pauses until you look back. Locking yourself in the bathroom to get away from this stupid, mushy chick flick? Nope -- it may not play until you return. Just keep in mind that the longer you delay, the longer you'll be caught in this pocket dimension.

► Either pick a movie of your choice, or roll a number to randomly select one of the options below!


1) Action/Adventure: The classic action flick. Stuff exploding, awesome fight scenes, bromance, Dennis Hopper kidnapping your girlfriend -- as long as bullets fly and there's a curb-stomp beatdown at the climax, it counts.

2) Romance: The virtual opposite of action movies, this is all about love: first-time love, childhood love, innocent love, forbidden love, destined love, doomed love, angsty love, fairy-tale love, not-meant-to-be love, immortal love... you get the point.

3) Tearjerker: OhGodwhy -- she's dying of cancer? They're not in the same time period?? He's going away to war?! She did WHAT? I AM NOT CRYING I JUST HAVE SOMETHING IN MY EYE. ;w;

4) Family-friendly: Disney. Nickelodeon. Pixar. No bad language, no content above PG, and chances are we've got some talking animals and a few catchy songs to go with it.

5) Horror: Whether it's the old-school tactic of things jumping out and yelling "BOO!" or the modern day preference for senseless gore, intense violence, and a total lack of plot, chances are you'll leave this one a bit jumpy.

6) Comedy: Not like we couldn't use a few laughs in this place, right?

7) ...How long have we been watching this?: You know the kind. The Godfather. Titanic. The Lord of the Rings. A&E's Pride and Prejudice. Good movies, but seriously -- how long have we been watching this?

8) Crappy movie: Who the heck wrote this script? Couldn't they have at least gotten some half-decent actors? Is that costume supposed to be scary? Why is there so much slow-mo in every fight scene? Did anyone else notice the ridiculous amount of plot holes? ...Ugh, I think I'm losing brain cells over here.

9) Documentary: Nothing passes the evening like a special on wildlife in the Sahara, the history of ~ISTANBUL~ Constantinople, a biography on Mark Twain, or any other educational program likely narrated by a bored-sounding British guy.
