Stars Under the Stars
WHO: Y'all
WHERE: By the not-spider warehouse in the southeastern quarter of Temba
WHAT: Movie night!
WHEN: The night after this announcement
WARNINGS: N/A
NOTES: We're all chill here, feel free to backtag or whatev
Maybe it was a lot of effort put into but Donnie never does anything without reason. The recent free display of memories thanks to the last storm had gotten him thinking. What's the point of it all if they just keep getting railroaded by bad experiences and memories here? No one's stopping them from enjoying themselves in an otherwise dilapidated city, and if they keep on focusing on the negative and being stuck for an indeterminate amount of time then that's just more fuel the Atroma or whoever's out there has to use against them.
So Donnie's got the designated space all set. He's made as much use of convenient rubble as he could find within the area for some makeshift seating. He's found some kind of old cushions and blankets to pad them. Since Steve's offered to handle prepping the popcorn, Donnie's happy to leave that business to him and Leo.
The movie selections for the night are definitely things appreciated by a certain audience and might in some universe be considered cult classics, and once it gets dark enough for optimal projection clarity, it's show time!
Teriyaki Shakedown is a martial arts action movie starring the great (as so proclaimed by Leo and Donnie) Lou Jitsu, who's trademark seems to be a pompadour and a flare-legged spandex onesie.
"Where's our free grub, noodle man?"
"Okay- How ‘bout some . . . hot soup? Too spicy for you? Hahaha- Everyone’s a critic."
It's very cheesy and definitely reminiscent of what you'd expect of martial arts movies made in the seventies and eighties.
Jupiter Jim's Last Trip to the Moon turns out not to really be his last trip considering it's the second time it's apparently happened, but what's continuity? It's a sci-fi flick, dated effects and melodramatic, and perhaps one might wonder how anyone can watch more than sixty movies of this?

Growing up with four brothers, there's only so many ways team anything can go, so most of their play has been competitive against each other. They might do well if they were ever pit as a team against someone else though..!

Then she tilts her head and looks confused for a moment. Oh! Right, giant, taking turtles are totally not normal, even if talking with Donnie feels like the most natural thing in the world. "Right. That's a good excuse," she says, and genuinely means it.
Maybe they can find out sometime.

"Ooh- this is the good part!" he says abruptly, turning his attention back to the movie. Arguably he'd say every other part was a good part, but he's terribly biased at this point.

She smiles at Donnie's words, shakes her head a little and rolls her eyes up, but she does pay attention to the screen for the scene.
"Okay, that was kinda cool."
no subject
Donnie plops his chin in his hands as his attention gets pulled back to the movie and the following sequence. There's absolutely no doubt that he loves this stuff.
wrap something new for Sept?
"Okay, doing your own stunts is always really cool." Impressive, really.
For a moment, she just watches Donnie watch the screen, then she turns back to the movie, as well. This was a good idea, and she's hoping they are many more movie nights.
Sounds good!
