[Charlie usually prefers to post text to the network, but he's in a hurry and talking is faster than typing. He sounds to be a bit in a rush and the announcement is hardly polished.]

Hey you lot, we've got a movie theater up on the run and we're screening our first-- [It's not really a film, is it? More like a carnival act. This is the last time he lets Collette pick something to screen without intense supervision.] --uh, movie. Admission's a flat rate of one marque for any transport to cover operational costs, no fee for civvies. I've attached coordinates and a blurb about the-- movie we've got running to this message.

Come if you like, though I warn you now that minors are probably in for a bit of a shock.

[There's an attachment to the voice message that contains both the coordinates of the theatre - "The Usual Place" - and a description of the movie. The latter reads:]

CRANK (2006)
Rating Information: R for violence and saucy language as well as some extremely adult situations and some truly godawful camerawork as well. Not recommended for anyone under the age of 16 or over the age of 65
Summary: Professional assassin Chev Chelios learns his rival has injected him with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops
Director: Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (god help them)
Starring: Some git, Amy Smart, some other people as well


((ooc: There's an open log HERE for anyone who wants to come! Come mingle, eat snacks, watch a terrible action movie.))

.... really?

why that movie?

text;

[alittlesweptup]

Don't ask me. I was outvoted.

To be fair there's not many reels left over; finding a complete file to restore wasn't easy. Choice was pretty limited.

[Audio]

[biwinning]

What are ratings.

[Says a lisping voice that doesn't sound older than sixteen even slightly.]

Audio;

[alittlesweptup]

They're viewing guidelines - usually give you a bit of a hint as to what's in the movie and what audience it's appropriate for or whatever.

[whatsupcroc]

It's not that bad, Charlie!

... I mean... It's...

... It was supposed to be like Speed.

[alittlesweptup]

You're not allowed to pick these by yourself anymore.

[oncearanger]

I've just been looking at the frames, but exactly what kind of movie did you have me restore? I see the summary, but...it can't be that terrible if it's what you really wanted?

[Tangled up in a mess of dark hair across the crown of her head, Chloe's sporting a pair of shutter shades and looking almost too hungover to function when she switches on the feed, but a message like this is well worth the effort it's taken to sit upright.]

You can't be bloody serious...

[alittlesweptup]

[He's in no mood for her lip and anyway her appearance is enough of an excuse that it warrants avoiding the topic entirely. Is it the most graceful side step in the history of the universe? Probably not. But she looks like a total wreck:]

Jesus Christ, did you go back to the 90's without telling me?

[urnotafraid]

Just be glad it's not Crank 3D.

[alittlesweptup]

Thank god we've been spared that much.

→ audio

[controlledvariable]

Is there a bar because there's no way anyone should be subjected to Crank while sober?

[JUST SAYIN']

audio

[alittlesweptup]

Of course there's a bloody bar. What do you take this for, the local AMC?

[He sure as hell isn't doing this sober anyway.]

audio

[oncearanger]

I'll be over in a few minutes. You sound sure that this is going to be a disaster.

[alittlesweptup]

Oh Christ no, are you joking? [And he does sound momentarily cheerful as anything.] It might be a cinematic train wreck, but it'll bump up the number of people buying a stiff drink from concessions.

[theconsummateconman]

Hah! This should be fun, good thinkin, CHEV. ... Sorry kid, but you've gotta admit, the resemblance is uncanny.

text;

[alittlesweptup]

What resemblance?

voice;

[assworthsaving]

[He may not have ever seen, or heard, of this movie before but good on Cutter for preoccupying himself. Guess people need these things after being stuck here for so long. Drake's just not a movie buff; always had his nose stuck in a history book instead. Which proved to be way more interesting than movies anyway.]

Will you personally tear my ticket if I go?

voice;

[alittlesweptup]

No, but I might see if I can arrange to charge you twice.

[Nate could stand to get some cinema history in that bloated head of his; shame that this is the last place he'll find any of that.]

[givetheslip]

What's a movie?

text;

[alittlesweptup]

It's like a picture book story, but the pictures move and talk.

[boundbyheart]

.....What is any of this? Some sort of play?

[alittlesweptup]

Something like that, except it's all captured on a series of photographs with sound played over it.

[voice; anonymous]

[pixieboots]

Aw, it can't be that bad. It's a movie, not real life.

[ spoilers: not sixteen ]

voice;

[alittlesweptup]

I don't know mate, it's pretty foul. But do what you like; I just don't want anyone complaining to me that I misrepresented the thing.

[Spoilers: he doesn't care.]

voice

[notstubborn]

Don't sound so excited Charlie, you might hurt yourself.

voice;

[alittlesweptup]

I've already a pounding headache, so I might as well continue in that vein.
