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?

SO she can't really help him figure this out.

"Yeah, neither am I. Mikey's the chef of the family. Eh well. Maybe some day."

"Maybe someday. I'll speak to Radley though. Perhaps he can figure something out."
winding down?
But let's be real, there are very little un-favorite parts to this movie. Donnie's mouthing along the lines as his attention swings right back to the projection on the building wall. Maybe it's a trick of the light, or maybe he's just watched it that many times, but he certainly has everything down pat, from the (terrible) broken dialogue (why does it sound like it's been dubbed?) to Lou Jitsu's expressions. And maybe it's a bit of him actually being related.
indeed!
