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. ]

i hadn't actually seen The Uninvited in
a million fucking years

i snuck into that movie SO MUCH when it came out

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]

[ebrius]

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

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

Mostly American, the golden age of Hollywood

[ it's her favorite kind of movies and tv, though she still hasn't found a rerun of bewitched or my favorite martian. ]

[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

[whatchoice]

Oh yeah, I love old movies.

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

[whatchoice]

Sounds horrifying, what is it about?

[whatchoice]

Unless every TV is black and white

Do you like old movies?

[mostdangerousbird]

It’s one of those horror movies that’s more about suspense and foreboding than jump scares and gore. If I gave you any of the plot, you might figure out the twist before the end.

[bad_habit]

oh i do,
in the sense that i haven't thought about this stuff in a long, long, time
i take it you're maybe not a fan??

Which Earth?

[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]

[ebrius]

i don't hate them

but i haven't really watched a lot of television lately

[westcoasts]

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

they got any westerns?

un: mordio

[myagic]

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

[whatchoice]

I love old movies, I only felt bad that everyone else has to watch them now too

Sokovian, it was one of the former Soviet countries

[whatchoice]

[ ... ]

I honestly don't know

[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?

[bad_habit]

its better than nothing
and it made me fucking happy
like i said, its been fucking ages

[It had all seemed like some far away memory. He didn't remember much about life before he died anymore but passing by one of the common rooms this morning and seeing something like that brought back real old memories.

And it was kinda nice, cause he was having a hard time here lately.]

oh yeah?
that where you're from then?

[westcoasts]

( you forget, rude is clint barton's middle name. )

i was kinda hoping for something like high noon or butch cassidy, maybe even treasure of the sierra madre, but i'll take what i can get.

swashbuckling's a good second best though.
