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.

But me, I'm easy. Like I said, monster movies.

Hey, excellent taste, though. Which monster's your favorite? For the record, picking Godzilla is a weak cop-out. And no, dude, totally, the remakes are all objectively terrible. They're not even bad enough to be funny.
And okay, your friend has good taste too, but high standards and scifi movies really just shouldn't go hand in hand. You've gotta be able to laugh the ridiculous off. I mean, I'm an engineer, I know how unscientific half the movies I like are, but you gotta suspend disbelief a little.

As for my friend... his sense of humor is limited. [Newt cannot say it's non-existent. He knows that's a lie and a closely guarded secret.] And laughing at his life's work puts him on edge, so we won't go there, but I think he can admit that the movies are movies and he can deal with that, so as long as you don't put on something totally cheesy like the one with Bruce Willis and the asteroid, we're probably ok. He'd probably even go for some Miyazaki films or something, because we're both children of the 90s and even he can't deny there's a kid under there somewhere. Iron Giant might be awesome, if you've got it: kind of Giant Robot genre for all ages.
What's the price of admission for these movie nights going to be?
no subject
Okay, Armageddon is a classic in its own way, but I can see why some people might have a hard time watching it. Especially if you don't like Aerosmith.
Sadly we're stuck with whatever alternate universe versions of movies from home you can track down here, unless someone managed to bring copies of movies with them. If-slash-when I ever get ported home, I'm making it a habit to carry around a harddrive full of my favorites, just in case I get trans-dimensionally kidnapped again.
And, uh, I figured they'd be free? If a lot of people want to show up, though, maybe I should charge. I hadn't really thought about it.

And man, that sucks, but hey, at least we'll have movies to watch that we haven't seen to death, right? So long as they aren't crappy knock-offs and actually bring something to the table that's unique, I'm all for it. I'll see what I can dig up to watch that looks good. PG is probably safe?
You could do it BYOB style, but with soda and popcorn and candy? I think that's fair.
But you said you've been ported home. I thought I read that we didn't tend to remember when going home. So it's kind of unlikely for you to remember to carry your video library with you, if that's the case.
no subject
I'm gonna provide popcorn, I think. I kind of want the excuse to buy a big popcorn maker. But hey, that might work!
Oh, no, I haven't actually been ported home, sorry. I've only been here like a month, and I haven't left. But yeah, I guess not. Damn, there goes my cunning plan.
