Upcoming Move Nights!

[freedom_engineer]

Hello, everyone!

Now that our network is up and running, let's start putting it to good use, shall we?

This is a place for long-term conversations to take place. You got something you want to talk about, but don't know how? Post it here, it's a great way to get outside input on things!

It's ALSO a great place to post important news, as our dear Mettaton just showed us a few days back.

So, on that note, I'd just like to remind everyone.

Movie Nights are a thing I do!

Every other night or so, I try to show a movie in the mess hall. I try to keep it spread out, so that no one style of film gets too much time. I want to make sure everyone has something they enjoy. Some snacks are provided as well, for a true cinematic experience.

Also, for everyone new, I take requests. Just let me know if there's a movie you want to see. And I have a LOT of movies.

I've got two movies chosen for this week, leaving room for one request, or more if there's high demand.

Tonight, we'll be showing Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a comedic take on the human Arthurian Legend. Sans let me know that he hadn't seen it, so it's time to fix that.

Next movie night will be Toy Story, a story of what toys do when their owners aren't around. It's alsoaa heartwarming examination of the nature of friendship. All you adults, it's better than it sounds! Bring the kids, and bring some tissues!

Next weeks movies will include The Princess Bride. A classic story of true love, swordsmanship, revenge, and political intrigue. Seriously, I can't do this one justice, it really is a classic.

Also, My Neighbor Totoro, a fantastic story of fantasy and family. This film has been regarded as one of the finest films of all time, and it's appropriate for all ages.

The other nights are all up in the air for films, so get those requests to me!

Also, every seven days, I will be participating in the fine tradition of "Saturday Morning Cartoons." Every Saturday, I'll be showing four hours of assorted entertainment for all kids to enjoy, so wake up early and come enjoy it!

See everyone there.

So... wait. We've got actual movies here? As in, on TVs and stuff?

[Forgive him, Colin. It's just that he hasn't seen a TV in so long he's almost convinced that they were some kind of alcohol-induced hallucination.]

[freedom_engineer]

On a big screen in the mess hall, actually.

I THINK Sans made it so the phones everyone got can show multimedia too, and they can tap into my library of stuff.

[ishotyouuu]

...the hell did I miss that?

[The thought of being able to watch his beloved goddess Bea Arthur again fills him with a joy he can't possibly describe.]

So do we get basic cable here or is it the full package?

[freedom_engineer]

The screen is retractable so it doesn't get messed up in a foodfight, and the speakers are basically invisible.

Don't worry, you're not going blind.

Let's just say... ah... if it's on the internet on Earth, I've got it in my library.

[ishotyouuu]

Good to know. If I ever get a wild hair and wanna watch a Golden Girls marathon at ass-o'clock in the morning, I'll know who to hit up.

...do food fights happen often here?

[freedom_engineer]

Golden Girls, Golden Girls... yep, got it.

Not often, but often enough. Popcorn and chips get thrown at the screen occasionally. Ammy loves it, ground food is her food.

We also had pie day. You get that many pies in one place, things are gonna happen...

[ishotyouuu]

Oh trust me, I know. I've lived with Ammy long enough to know that messy eaters are pretty much her best friends.

Uh... a different Ammy, I mean. Not this one.

[Alternate dimensions are weird.]

[freedom_engineer]

Don't gotta tell me twice. I've been doing the multidimensional shuffle since before most of the people here were born.

* huh, that movie title isn't ringing any bells.
* something tells me you knocked on that door with a joke and it went over my head.
* lookin' forward to it, pal.

[freedom_engineer]

Oh believe me, you let me know about this tragedy and it HAD to be rectified.

[justribbing]

* it's that good?
* guess i better stay awake through this one.

[ Actually? He's kinda... excited. Exposure to new comedic material aside, this sounds like the sort of surprise that's pleasant and entirely harmless in nature, which is pretty much the only kind he likes. ]

Inconceivable.

[They approve of at least two of these choices.]

[freedom_engineer]

You, my friend, have just earned about a thousand hypernet points.

[achievementhunter]

I'll be sure to add that to my list of ever increasing credentials.

Do you have any basketball movies?

[freedom_engineer]

I've got one planned for a few more weeks out, it just requires some knowledge of other things first, so I'm waiting for people to get exposure to some of the characters in Saturday Morning Cartoons first.

If you can think of any other Basketball movies, though, I'd love to know them. I DO need to introduce people to the likes of Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and a few other fine stares of late 20th century hoops.

[openupclub]

Eh... there's that anime 'Slam Dunk'... but it's really long so I guess it wouldn't be good for a movie night. Buzzer Beater was by the same author and was only thirteen episodes and is pretty good. I don't know a lot of American basketball players... I think a lot of them were in that recent movie... what was it called. 'Like Mike'? That might be a bit late, though...

Wasn't there a movie with a dog who played basketball? Ah... 'Air'... something. I don't know, sorry. The subtitles I could find on that one weren't very good, and my English isn't great either.

[freedom_engineer]

Michael Jordan, yes. One of the finer basketball players of human history.

Had to study a bit to get the importance. I'll need to have my spiders do a bit of trawling to find good movies to set the scene, I think...

Air... Uh, hmmm. Basketball.... I'm getting WAY too many hits on that criteria. "Dog playing basketball?" ... Gimme a bit on that one.

[openupclub]

[Excuse me what did you say.]

Your what?

[He's had enough spiders, thanks.]

[freedom_engineer]

My library is extensive, didn't I say as much?

[Sorry Mutsuki, you're gonna have to be more specific.]

[openupclub]

Your 'spiders'?

[freedom_engineer]

OH!

No, not arachnids.

Search programs.

I've got about six planets' worth of data to sift through, not something I can do on my own. I need assistance to make a reasonable search through all this information.

[openupclub]

Oh. I've had some bad experiences with spiders, that's why.

That's... a lot. So it's automated? That sounds like something Hirose-san would love to get her hands on...

[freedom_engineer]

Many people do. I keep forgetting that's a thing, since there aren't many in space.

[He gives a small grin.]

Automated search. I give them criteria, reference points, and they go looking. Lots of code involved for the complexities.

[openupclub]

It's somewhat worse than the normal experience, I think...

... I see. I'm not very good at computer coding... or a lot of things with computers, really.

[freedom_engineer]

Very few people are. So, basketball's your thing, huh?

Consider asking Ozuma for a court?

[openupclub]

I'm not very good at it, but I am on my school's team. And... maybe. I wouldn't want to impose, but there's no good place to play here and the hallways are a little too narrow to practice dribbling.

[freedom_engineer]

A regulation court would fit into the altar room easily, might give Ozuma a bit of entertainment. Heck, a high school half court could fit into several of the spots in here.

[openupclub]

I'd like that. I've been wanting to get back to playing, but with fighting... things at home... it's been somewhat of a problem.

[freedom_engineer]

You've gotta take some time to enjoy yourself.

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Then there's axes and hedge mazes and parodies to forever...

[openupclub]

Yes, I know. But I want to help the people here, too. It wouldn't be right to turn my back on that kind of thing and take time for myself.

[villainsgonnavill]

Ooh, nice picks. ALL classics. Tell me you've got Ghostbusters sitting around somewhere.

[freedom_engineer]

Like I wouldn't have one of the finest classics of paranormal film history!

You are a man of quality taste. Keep appraised for further movie nights, I'll value your input.

[villainsgonnavill]

Thank god. A world without that integral Stay Puft action would be impossible to live in.

Dude, I'm just glad to hear someone around here takes movie night initiative! That's like a key element of good morale.

[freedom_engineer]

You guys keep watching, and I'll keep showing. No way I'd let this dreary old castle be the only entertainment we've got.
