Culture Shock: Adjusting to Life on the Weird Side, Tuesday, Period 2
"Hi, everybody!" Cecil waved.
Class had beenhandwavily advised to meet in front of the school today, and he made sure to count heads. "Let's make sure we come back with the same number. And the same ones," he advised Kanan.
To the class, he said excitedly, "We've got a movie day today! One of immortal film actor Lee Marvin's classics, Gone with the Wind."
Kanan had no idea who Lee Marvin was, or what Gone With the Wind was about, or even what to make of film in general. Still. He'd be just as happy going to see some cheaply made holo by some sleemo director who mostly dealt in pornography, but since this was a class trip and all, he was taking Cecil's word for it and sticking with the classics.
"Apparently around here, popcorn and soda are customary while you're watching one of these things on a big screen," he offered as they made their way to the theater, "so you each get a voucher for the snack bar to redeem on the way in. And try not to distract the other people in the audience too much during the show. They paid to be there, presumably."
Did the MST 3000 pay close attention to people coming in? Presumably not. After all, these ding-dongs were allowed to enter the building with a class in tow.
"And afterwards, we can talk about different kinds of entertainment where you're from, and how this compares," Cecil offered. "It'll probably be better, but then, everybody's got different tastes, and some of them are weird."
Truer words were never spoken.

How do films rate against your usual entertainment? (Not dirty.) How about the cinema experience in general? And Gone With the Wind in particular?

But let's be real it's 2016.

Nope, I AM STILL IN THE FUTURE.
Though given the sheer number of sessions my local cinema is doing on the day (still less hardcore than the IMAX in the city's 24 straight hours of showings) there's probably one running then.
