So, we've got a lot of people talking about finding stuff to do, or like, being kind of out of synch with the rest of us, timeline wise - between psycho brain experiments anyway, dude, really? - and since Lydia was talking about movie nights and stuff, I was thinking we should watch Star Wars again.

I know it's weird doing this kind of thing when like, people know about some of us from movies or whatever, but where I'm from, if you wanna get by in the 21st century, you've gotta see it.

Actually, maybe we should make a list. What other pop culture stuff should people definitely know about?

[This post is brought to you by Peter being really unwilling to discuss certain things.]

[Private to Blight]

[... He probably should have said this earlier, but he didn't, and he's not sure he's sorry about that. He's needed some time, and so has Powers, probably, because just. Jeez. Way to hit close to home, flood.]

Look, you can totally ignore this, or not respond or whatever, [He won't be offended.] But I wasn't trying to mess with you. I don't even know what any of that was. The Batman I've heard about isn't some teenager in the future.

So. Sorry. Believe me, I wasn't planning on any of that.

[For a lot of reasons, most of which he's not sure he wants to discuss with you. It's for the best, considering he still doesn't love talking about his own depressing origin story. u_u]

[Um, excuse me, Peter, did you say Star Wars? Because yes. Yes, they clearly need to watch Star Wars.]

Yes. And you may have to like, help me rope Scott into watching it because I've been trying to talk him into it for years.

[And normally he can talk Scott into pretty much anything -- hello, let's go find a dead body in the woods, Scottie -- and he does not understand why Scott is so resistant to the greatest movies of all time. Does not compute.]

[Man, now he feels a little awkward, because:]

So, there was this flood where we kind of thought we were Han Solo and Luke Skywalker? It was Halloween, we had costumes and everything, so when it was over, I kinda made him watch it.

[This feels like something you should have been here for. u_u]

[That's it. He's gonna kick Scott's little werewolf ass. First, for watching Star Wars with someone other than him the first time, when he's been trying to get him to watch them for basically the entire length of their friendship. And secondly. For not bothering to tell him he'd finally watched the movies. Scott, you are in deep trouble. :x]

Oh. Well at least you managed to get him to watch them. Did he like them?

Voice

[semifreakingnormal]

[Oh, he's in deep shit, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah he is. But look at this face, Stiles! You can't be mad at this face, right???]

Yeah, they were good. We should watch the, uh, sequels? Or - prequels? The ones Natalie Portman.

Voice

[voluntaryapnea]

[So deep. You're gonna need boots, man. Really tall ones.]

That suggestion? Is actual sacrilege.

Voice

[semifreakingnormal]

Oh.

[Think quick Scott!!]

They're not good?

Voice

[voluntaryapnea]

I literally have no words for you right now.

Voice

[semifreakingnormal]

What about, 'it's okay, Scott, I'll find another movie to make you watch instead?'

Voice

[voluntaryapnea]

It's cute that you think you're gonna get off this hook that easily.

Voice

[semifreakingnormal]

You know me.

Optimism.

...I'll watch them again?

Voice

[voluntaryapnea]

Yeah yeah.

Um, yes. Obviously.

Voice

[semifreakingnormal]

I probably forgot everything, anyway, so it'll be like the first time all over again...?

Voice

[voluntaryapnea]

Uh huh.

Voice

[myresponsibility]

They're terrible, man.

Voice

[semifreakingnormal]

But I thought Samuel Jackson was in them.

Voice

[myresponsibility]

Yeah, and he's totally miscast. I mean, come on, wise Jedi master to a guy who's great at yelling at people? Really? He couldn't be some badass general or something?

Voice

[semifreakingnormal]

What - he's not badass?

Voice

[myresponsibility]

I mean, he's fine I guess. He's just really boring.

Everyone's really boring, honestly.

Voice

[semifreakingnormal]

There is so much wrong with that, I don't even know where to start.

Voice

[myresponsibility]

Right? I mean, how do you screw that up that badly?

Voice

[myresponsibility]

Yeah, he liked it.

Man, I'm sorry, I totally would've waited if you know. I knew you were gonna come here or something.

Voice

[voluntaryapnea]

Totally not your fault, man. Seriously.

Voice

[myresponsibility]

So, um. Other ideas?

Voice

[voluntaryapnea]

Jurassic Park. Independence Day. Men in Black.

Voice

[myresponsibility]

I knew I liked you for a reason.
