Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon into the Evening

Oct 24, 2007 15:53

There was an air of menace hanging over the common room. An eau de danger, if you please. As if dust particles should be floating around and very masculine man in large hats and spurs should move into view to do battle at any moment ( Read more... )

THE GLOBULE scary_jeff October 24 2007, 13:54:38 UTC

In which a large globule tries to devour the world before a plucky hero finds his shampoo collection and does battle from the top of a skyscraper. There's a puppy in a car that gets rescued.

Re: THE GLOBULE wannabe_pan October 24 2007, 14:03:03 UTC

"I'm sorry," Andrew said, "but anyone who is not fast enough to get away from the globule kind of deserves to get digested."

Re: THE GLOBULE scary_jeff October 24 2007, 14:14:00 UTC

"You forget the part where the globule gets extra speed from the petrol!" Jeff argued, "You can't plan for petrol, it's just impossible."

Re: THE GLOBULE wannabe_pan October 24 2007, 14:20:41 UTC

"Yeah, but then they would be all smelly globules. It's much harder to sneak up on someone when you smell like gasoline. Unless," he added, "they have a cold. Then I guess they're pretty much fodder."

HOWARD THE MALLARD scary_jeff October 24 2007, 13:55:11 UTC

A zany film from the mid-80s in which a sarcastic but loveable humanoid duck is yanked from his own world and sent to earth to save the world from an evil alien invader. Features a memorable cross species kiss.

Wandering into the common room, John started laughing as soon as he saw the screen. Easily recognizing Howard the Mallard, he plopped onto the sofa to join the boys.

Re: HOWARD THE MALLARD wannabe_pan October 24 2007, 14:07:55 UTC

"You have to admit, they did a really good job getting his bill to move in time with what he is saying," Andrew said, nodding toward the screen.

Re: HOWARD THE MALLARD missed_the_gate October 24 2007, 15:32:08 UTC

"Oh I think it's comedic gold," John grinned. "Especially considering when it was made."

ATTACK OF THE KILLER BUNNIES scary_jeff October 24 2007, 13:56:00 UTC

In which killer bunnies try to destroy a small town in Iowa, but are eventually defeated by a small child wielding a lollipop and a chainsaw. There's a puppy in a car that gets rescued.

Re: ATTACK OF THE KILLER BUNNIES scary_jeff October 24 2007, 14:20:40 UTC

"Now this is prime cinema!" Jeff said, sitting back happily.

It really wasn't.

Re: ATTACK OF THE KILLER BUNNIES flowering_mind October 24 2007, 14:25:52 UTC

Ino wandered into the common room just in time to hear that. She stared at the TV for a few minutes before saying incredulously, "How?"

Re: ATTACK OF THE KILLER BUNNIES scary_jeff October 24 2007, 14:29:57 UTC

"Because they got hit by the evil professor's Gazanta ray, of course," Jeff explained, engrossed.

THE NIGHT THE WORLD SPED UP scary_jeff October 24 2007, 13:56:34 UTC

He came in peace. They shot him. His robot got angry. And there is a bit with a girl.

Re: THE NIGHT THE WORLD SPED UP wannabe_pan October 24 2007, 14:34:36 UTC

"This," Andrew said loudly, gesturing at the screen, "is groundbreaking cinema. It was political and relevant and new and..." he flailed his hand about searching for the right word, "... awesome."

Re: THE NIGHT THE WORLD SPED UP scary_jeff October 24 2007, 14:40:35 UTC

"I liked the bit with the girl the first time I watched it," Jeff admitted, "It gets shorter with time, doesn't it?"

Especially if you fast-forward.

Re: THE NIGHT THE WORLD SPED UP wannabe_pan October 24 2007, 15:53:23 UTC

"The girl? The girl is like the least important part of the whole story. It's more about the robot. The robot and he's unfailing support for his master."

Andrew bounced about in his seat. "Robots are so cool," he added.

INVASION OF THE LIVING POTATOES scary_jeff October 24 2007, 13:57:07 UTC

In which potatoes come to life and start killing in Manchester. Everything seems lost until a group of townspeople all come together to make the world's largest stew. There's a puppy in a car that gets rescued. Naturally.

Re: INVASION OF THE LIVING POTATOES wannabe_pan October 24 2007, 15:55:50 UTC

"I don't even like potato soup," Andrew commented.

Re: INVASION OF THE LIVING POTATOES scary_jeff October 24 2007, 15:57:30 UTC

"You have to make sacrifices to stave off potato-generated doom," Jeff shot back.

Re: INVASION OF THE LIVING POTATOES wannabe_pan October 24 2007, 16:29:10 UTC

"But it's grossly cannibalistic," Andrew countered. "You are what you eat, you know. And those potatoes might have just eaten your neighbor and here you go tossing them in a pot for your own dinner." He shivered. "That's just wrong."
