If you were planning a movie night what essential snacks would you have?

Only the big fun ones will be considered.

What important movies have to be seen? Thinking mostly scary movies!

Winning suggestions might be used. Prizes offered. (Maybe)

Hm… Been to more plays than movies. Back in the last world I was, I usually had pizza when they held a movie night? In my world I’d usually get pretzels or a bag of peanuts if I was going to a show of some kind.

Generally, my students expect popcorn, but I suppose that’s pretty standard for a movie night. Otherwise they might request jelly babies, and sometimes crisps or my sister might bring a box of chocolates to share…

I suppose it nearly is that time of year for scary films. Do you have any guidelines for suggestions beyond that?

Yes, I’ve seen at least one of mine mix it all together. Apparently it tastes better that way, or something.

Hmm… The definition of ‘the fun kind’ tends to vary depending on the person.

Mm… I suppose that’s true. In my world, they were usually just salted… But I have seen them seasoned since then, so I suppose you could look at that option if you go with it. But! I’m glad that my suggestions weren’t terrible. Sounds like a fun idea, though. I knew there was some kind of theater here, though I haven’t been to it myself.
ask_whydunit: (This is such a bother)

I suppose if you like the surprise.

… What the hell kind of question is that? Of course, ‘I do fun.’ I have hobbies like anyone else does.


[ Oh. Right. Movies. He does need to think about that for a moment. ]

Horror films aren’t generally my go to for movie nights, though. I think the last one I saw was The Ring when my students picked it.

Does it? Is there an occasion that makes it so, or a reason for that?

Well, thank you for the potential invitation, then. I always meant to see more movies, really… People might enjoy something like that, might be nice to see everyone get together again.

Popcorn definitely but you have to have m&ms to put in the popcorn.

I'm not sure about what movies, though. I'm not a huge movie buff.
ask_whydunit: (Reading)

… I enjoy strategic games and story driven games. Also Reading mystery novels, and research.

[ That last one probably does not count as a hobby… But that was beside the point. His video games were already largely questioned and considered a waste of time. ]

Yes, that’s correct. With the cursed VHS tape and all that.

I see! Well, then if I think of any other particularly good treats, I shall let you know.

Ah, well… Movies are fairly limited in the time I come from. In the last world, they had a movie night during one of their celebrations, but I was sent here before one of my friends had the chance to introduce me to a wider variety.

Definitely is!

You died... and came back? That makes me curious I have to admit.
ask_whydunit: (Considering the facts)

[personal profile] ask_whydunit 2022-10-04 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that so? I picked up the hobby from a friend myself.

[ He would get along with this friend, clearly! ]

The definition of ‘hobby’ is an activity done regularly in one’s leisure time, so I believe it is in my case.

[ He will die on this very silly hill.

Okay, that is… Very weird for someone to have a thing against, if he’s being honest.
]

Yeah? Then I would rescind my suggestion for that movie. If you have a specific person in mind, though, it would probably help to know what would potentially be a bad recommendation.

An assignment sounds like something I’ll be graded on. In that case, I’ll do my best.

Oh? Then I’ll look forward to seeing what other kinds of movies there are based on your knowledge from your time outside Limbo. [ He supposed that made sense, given what she’d said a couple of times on that subject. But she did still have more experience than him on the subject, no matter how minimal it might have been. ]

Ummm… [ Watts hasn’t got the best memory. The name of the movie is escaping him somewhat. ] I must confess the name eludes me, but I think it was a comedy of some kind… Which I suppose would mean I’ve never seen a scary movie.

I find myself curious about how your grading system works.

I admit I don’t remember finding it overly entertaining, which was why they suggested a movie night to see what kinds of films I might like. Oh, well, to be fair to the movie, I simply have a rather spotty memory. Things tend to fall out of it at times.
