Fifty-Fourth Theory [Video]

[i_speak_softly]

((Forward-dated to tomorrow morning.))

[Don sends Leo off to battle today. He's not worried, only slightly disappointed that he doesn't get to go too.]

[When it becomes clear that the weather is settling in for a good storm, Don begins setting up a day's worth of entertainment.]

[The journal feed comes on with a shaky image of a television screen. After a few moments the picture stabilizes, and Don leans over to address his audience upside-down.]

Hi everyone. I'm going to be watching some movies while we wait out this weather. You're welcome to join me.

[Anyone in Luceti, with or without power, so long as they have a journal handy, may see the following films, with short breaks in between:

10:00 AM: "Star Wars: A New Hope"
12:30 PM: "Jurassic Park"
3:00 PM: "The Last Samurai"

After a somewhat longer break for dinner, the movies will resume.

7:00 PM: "Beauty and the Beast" (Before starting this film, Don will filter the video feed against tailasoldastime. He'll unfilter when the movie ends.)
9:00 PM: "The Elephant Man"

... Don has never seen this last one all the way through. Maybe tonight he can finally do it.]

[While watching the movies, Don will work on restoring the computer files he deleted during last month's experiment.]

((Talking during the movies is very much encouraged; please threadjack/do log-type things!))

The very tail end of Star Wars

[rashness]

[He sleeply said to the book as he flips it open to see the movie just as he wakes up]

Tha' looks like that Luke guy...

[i_speak_softly]

Mm-hmm. [Who else would it be?]

[rashness]

Guess he was an actor when he was younger, cool.

[i_speak_softly]

Ah, no, he worked on a farm...

[You should have watched the beginning of the movie.]

[rashness]

...Farm boy to actor to monk? Whoa.

[i_speak_softly]

No, he -- Did you just start watching now?

[rashness]

Yes?

[He also sounds half-asleep]

[i_speak_softly]

[Well, he's not about to summarize the whole movie.]

I'll play it again sometime. It makes a lot more sense from the beginning.

[rashness]

Oh, that's not problem, I'll just ask him later!

[i_speak_softly]

[You are half-asleep and not making any sense. Trying to talk further would only give you opportunities to embarrass yourself, so Don will shut up.]
