Mingle Post: Movie Night
Who: Everyone! Open to All
What: "Movie Night" mingle log
When: any time agreed upon by the players
Where: anywhere there might be movies showing: theatres, dvd rooms, homes, drive-ins. also, movie settings.
It's an old, old, story: falling asleep and dreaming of that movie that was playing until just a few moments ago. Maybe taking the part of the hero, maybe the dastardly villain, or maybe even just some side character there to fill a purpose in the plot and no more. It might be a dashing adventure, a passionate drama, a sickly sweet romance - anything at all. But it's playing out right now.
Or maybe the movie is playing up on the screen. There's a comfortable couch at a DVD Room, or a seat at the theatre (amid a crowd, or alone with that special someone at the back of the room), or even just a comfortable chair in a warm, cozy house.
Whatever it may be, movies are the order of the night.
(ooc: This is a post to keep threads together for the Movie Night theme. Separate posts are also fine, and this one is optional. Feel free to be part of a movie, or watching one; if need be, specify in the subject line)

I'm not a member of the Academy, Miss Aino. I'm here to write a review.
[And evidently, not to be sidetracked or wooed. She seems about to say more when the gun goes off. Deciding not to assume it's unloaded, although it should be, she, too, takes cover, ducking low behind the seats.
Once the crisis is past, Ami calmly stands up, and steps purposefully towards the fallen prop. She bends down to pick it up without a word.]
no subject
Sorryyyyy. At least they're just blanks!
[usually she's too used to sour-pussed reviewers and panelists to give the attitude much thought, but it's Ami]
Gosh, what a face. Do you only ever smile when you're being mean to someone?
no subject
[Ami keeps the gun in her hand, held properly, as she returns to her seat. There, she sets it down safely out of the way before making a few additional notes on the laptop. A glance at the screen shows quite a bit of red font.
She ignores the question of her smile.]
no subject
So...[she dramatically tiptoes over, heels clicking on the theater floor] ...who did you say you were writing this for, again?
[RED. so. much. red.] HEY! [it's half a gasp of disbelief, and half a yell of pique] My performance isn't "frivolous"!
cannot stop laughing XD
First of all, you won't influence this review except by your acting.
[This is going to be a fun reveal.]
It's for Kinema Junpo.
[Of course. A top film magazine, and an old one, known for the sort of academic film Ami prefers. A Noir piece like Minako's should be well received there, but something about the way Ami's lips curve slyly upward suggests the write-up may not be favorable.]
no subject
[do you see this face, Ami. it's hurt. so hurt. and her hurt eyes are so big and filling with tears.]
no subject
Crocodile tears.
Hmph.]
Why blame me for your performance? I'll write what I saw.
[Clearly, this dream is Mina's residual performing nerves made manifest.]
no subject
That performance was INCREDIBLE! How dare you! I put my heart and soul into that movie, it's my first producer credit! What do you know about acting anyway?!
no subject
[Yeah, cheap dig. It's like she can't help herself. But it had been acting, all that so-called friendship, and it's the true prejudice making her see this performance through negative eyes, too - not Mina's skill, but that her mind will call it all 'obvious' acting.]
no subject
[speaking of acting, melodramatic inflection with eyeroll to match.]
Even if you call that acting, it's not even remotely the same kind! [waving frantically at the screen behind her]
no subject
So you expect a favorable review, because we happened to know each other so long ago? There's no reason for that, either.
