I asked Aurora to let the TVs work in the rec room of the apartment building, but all that is playing is old black and white movies

[ because that is what wanda asked for, sort of, but every channel is playing a different movie, all of them black and white. ]

From Earth

[ since that is a consideration now. ]

[thorncrown]

Are they Western films? Or maybe European?

[whatchoice]

Mostly American, the golden age of Hollywood

i hadn't actually seen The Uninvited in
a million fucking years
it's amazing
i snuck into that movie SO MUCH when it came out
also The Spiral Staircase
i mean best line in a movie;
'i'm never more whitty then when i've had a little nip!'
basically my life motto

[ngl he's loving this]

[whatchoice]

I'm glad someone else appreciates it

I used to watch old American sitcoms when I was a kid, it's how I learned English

In your opinion, is this an improvement over whatever they were playing previously?

[whatchoice]

Oh yeah, I love old movies.

And it was static in the rec room before, I think the TV was just for show

That doesn’t sound too bad. Let me know if Carnival of Souls comes on?

[whatchoice]

Sounds horrifying, what is it about?

[wiccant]

Which ones?

[whatchoice]

A different one on every channel, I think one channel might only play Casablanca on repeat

Right now I'm watching the Thin Man

[plangona]

what's wrong with that? not the selection you were hoping for? [honestly from her perspective it seems better than nothing in comparison to what was offered back home]

[whatchoice]

I enjoy the selection, I felt bad that others might not

[westcoasts]

( "wanda". on the one hand, just a name.
on the other hand— )

they got any westerns?

[whatchoice]

[ FIRST OF ALL it's rude they both go by hawkeye, how is she supposed to tell them apart, she just assumes he is kate. :) ]

Does Zorro count?

I've never heard of any movies not from Earth. Is that just what Earth is most known for, or what?

[whatchoice]

I only said they're from Earth because there seem to be people from other planets here

I hadn't thought other planets might not make movies

un: everybodysoracle

[furiousfists]

I didn't know they made movies on the elemental plane of earth...

[ The dust mephits she summoned never talked about cinema. ]

[whatchoice]

I didn't know there was more than one plane of Earth

[ they're all learning new things today! ]

un: finaltara

[spinoff]

[whatchoice]

I saw Nosferatu on one channel. Psycho?

[venatoris]

[whatchoice]

Notorious, Bringing Up Baby, Arsenic and Old Lace, Philadelphia Story

[ girl, do you like cary grant or what? ]

If you change the channel it's just another movie

what's wrong with black and whites? lot of good classics didn't need color to tell their stories

well unless they're the dodgy silent films that get confusing after the first 5 minutes
in which case color probably wouldn't save them anyway

[whatchoice]

I like them, I used to watch old American television growing up to learn English.
