So, what kind of movies do you guys like? Back home, I mean. I know stuff is weird here and some movies don't exist, and they have stuff some of us don't have back home, so if there's any good universe-local movies I'm missing out on that only exist here, I could use some recs, too. Bonus points if there's any really good alternate universe versions of stuff I'd know from home. Negative points if it's propaganda crap, because there's enough of that on TV as it is.

You guys teamed up, in my world.

[airshow]

So said Flashy. And I repeat: baaarf.

[pobrecisco]

Flashy? Seriously?

[pobrecisco]

Only the back yard, and only sometimes!

[pobrecisco]

Godzilla is great. But only the classics, not the remakes.

[pobrecisco]

How'd they even manage it, anyway? Barry was just walking around like normal, only not talking to anybody.

[pobrecisco]

This world doesn't even have Star Wars. I'm kind of leaning towards Operation Implausible, which is apparently this world's take on Mission Impossible. Normally it wouldn't be my first pick, but a friend suggested it, and it sounds too funny to pass up.

[pobrecisco]

Cool. I'm not sure when it's gonna be yet, but definitely not this week, since I've gotta finish getting ready for the expo this weekend. I'll let you know when I pick a day.

[khajidont]

No clue. It's not the first time something like this has happened, but usually we're just conked out first.

[airshow]

Flashy, Flasharoonie, Not-So-Big Red, whatever.

I used to be fond of thrillers, back home. I haven't searched for any in this world, though.

[hands4healing]

We'll be there, Cisco.

And I've need to finish up my work for the expo, too. I'll see you there?

[resipiscent]

That's fair. And honestly, I never thought I'd meet a toddler-sized talking mouse in my life, so... it is kinda weird, out of context.

[pobrecisco]

Yeah, definitely! Hopefully I'll have everything done in time.

[pobrecisco]

Is it less weird in context?

[pobrecisco]

I'm not sure that's actually that hard.

[resipiscent]

Haha. Yeah, actually. It's not about being human or not, he's a friend, and I owe him a lot. You forget that he's different than you are.

[pobrecisco]

I'm not sure if that's a better alternative or not.

[pobrecisco]

Is that really the best you can come up with? Admittedly, Not-So-Big Red is kinda funny.

Thrillers are good! What's your favorite?

[pobrecisco]

Huh. Yeah, I guess I can see that.

[resipiscent]

Yeah. Sorry for changing the subject so far from your initial question, by the way. I'm actually not that knowledgeable on the movies front.

[timeframes]

. . . Fuck, me too. Could it really be any worse than the real 50 First Dates? Barrymore gets recaptured by her KGB handlers and Sandler has to break into the high security prison they're keeping her in and comes across a terrifying room full of spy photos of himself. Barrymore is staring at them, memory wiped, but she can't shake the feeling of knowing this ugly, egg-headed American. Why can't she fucking forget?

[pobrecisco]

Stop, stop, that sounds like a legitimately good movie and I'm kind of disappointed it doesn't exist now.

[timeframes]

Of course it sounds like a good movie. I make a friggin' killing in another timeline as a director slash auteur. Bet I even fought Sandler in a fist-fight once -- that's my headcanon anyway. I would have wanted to take Sandler a round or two in the ring.
