Movie Night

They'd scraped together quite the little feast - no popcorn, sadly, but some leakage in the living quarters earlier on had led to the discovery of an unopened packet of corn chips in Corporal Caffey's room, and the young linguist had been 'persuaded' to give it up for the good of the masses. There was also a bowl of what looked and tasted rather

Elise sighed from where she sat in the middle of the couch in front of the viewing console; how she'd managed to grab such a prime piece of movie viewing property was largely due to the fact that she had been pretty much responsible for all the food.

"You're absolutely positive no one brought any movie that did well at the Cannes film festival?" she asked futilely.

Tell inclined her head, looking almost as though she was considering this for a moment. "Well," She said slowly, "Major Sheppard did kindly donate his videotape of the 1984 Eagles/Hurricanes game..." A chorus of groans drowned out her voice. Even in its remarkable symbolism, there was only so many times in so short a period that one could bear to watch Doug Flutie's Hail Mary pass. "Okay, okay!" Tell raised her voice to be heard over the group, arms spread wide in concession of 'defeat'. When the voices had died down, she stepped foward and placed the three DVDs down on the table before them, stating matter-of-factly. "So. Choose."

"What exactly are these movies about?" Adam piped up from where he sat neatly on the floor.

He had missed his opportunity for any civilised seating earlier due to someones misinterpretation of an innocent little joke. That, however, was all in the past now. The pressing matter at the moment was which movie to chose.

"Without that kind of information, someone could try to make an educated decision, say, choosing the comedy over the sci-fi, when the storyline of the sci-fi could be a lot better than that of the comedy." Yes, that - in the land of Adam - would be a tragedy.

Tell shot Adam a grin, which may or may not have been partially related to her enjoyment of the fact that she, for once, had the advantage of height over him. "Oh, sci-fis are a scream. Have you seen Signs? Classic comedy. For tonight's selection, though, it's between Star Wars and-" Tell paused then, with a glance from the DVDs on the table to Adam on the floor. "Wait a minute, what's wrong with your legs?"

ooc: Yes, that was a copout. :P I'm finishing a text response essay and I don't think anybody wants to be stuck watching I for Isobel: The Movie. So, yes, anybody should feel welcome to make up the other movies.
