Movie Night Bonanza - Semi-Closed

Who: Riona and frands
Broadcast: Nope
Action: On the Blue Fish
When: Throughout the month on January!

The last couple months have been an emotional rollercoaster, to say the least. Lots of ups and downs, and Riona finds herself in need of a break. A way to just get her mind off of everything. And then she remembers she's promised a number of people a movie night. The solution comes together easily from there, and she sets up a series of movie nights with her friends.

Once they arrive, there's a small area set up with some chairs, blankets and of course a viewing platform to watch the movies. There'll also be food and drink, whatever they both decide on.

Riona's been amassing a collection from different planets since she got in the fleet, and now they have quite a variety of genres to choose from:



Rom-Coms and Romances: There's quite the range, from rather sappy romances to outright cringe-worthy flicks. There are a couple gems in the collection, but most are just overly cheesy or stupid. If nothing else, they're good for a laugh and making sarcastic commentary.

Action: Explosions! Guns! Chases! Scantily clad women for no discernible reason! These run the gamut from serious thinkpieces to unabashed blockbusters with nary a cohesive plot to be found. Again, there are a few decent ones in the mix but most are just for sheer entertainment.

Horror: Spooooooky~ Good for a scare... and maybe some laughs. Gore fests or psychological thrillers abound. This is the smallest collection she has, but there are enough to pick from!

Comedy: When a laugh is needed. From trash humor filled with fart jokes to more subtle humor, there's a bit of something for every brand of humor.

Animation: People actually draw all of this! This is by far the most varied of Riona's collection. There's cutesy kid stuff, adventure flicks, and even a few heartbreakers.

Musical: Riona's favorite. Theater in its truest form, but with singing!! And not the stuffy opera kind either. Almost as varied as the animated stuff, there's quite a range, from romping comedies, romances, to tragedies.

Drama: But of course. Angst, revelations, twists and betrayals. These movies take themselves the most seriously. Some are quite decent, but others are laughable at times. Also great for making fun of if you feel inclined.

So come on over, pick a genre, and settle in for some fun times.

((OOC: This is closed to Riona and her CR. Anyone she knows and has talked to is open to this! Just pick a genre and also a movie if you have one in mind! Outside the ones in the fleet archives, any movie would probably need to be tweaked a little in terms of details (i.e names, places, etc) as it would likely have come from another world. If you have any questions please let me know!))

rom-com & drama

[ Leilani starts with the Rom-Com because she's desperate for something to laugh at, and when she settles down she's definitely in the mood to actually joke about how ridiculous all these things are. The pick-up lines are terrible - and remind her of Bull, which at least makes her smile - but it's clear by the time they get to the happy ending that she's more petulant than anything else and not really enjoying the spirit of the thing as much as she could be. ]

This is worse than Varric's books.

[ And then she swaps over to the dramas. The few she watches are generally terrible and leave her rolling her eyes, but one has her gripped, leaning forward in her chair as she stares at the screen, her eyes wide. She would absolutely jump if anyone said anything, completely engrossed in the cinematic masterpiece in front of her. ]

[ The problem with the romances was that they all hit a little too close to home, and Leilani couldn't quite get into them terribly well. The dramas, though, they hold her because the suspense is killing her, and she's leaning closer and closer to the screen as if that might help her get the story faster.

When she's startled, though, she squeaks, turning and holding her Anchor-hand out in front of her, until --- ]
