Alright, so. Good movies to show on Memorial Day? Give me your suggestions. I'm coming up with a list of as many good replacement options as possible before I go to the Mayor's office to politely contest their current choice.

Is it too soon to show Independence Day?

That's one I'd happily put on the list even if other people think it's too early. Don't those always come out on Memorial Day weekend anyways?

Usually, because it's supposed to represent "summer." Um - Terminator? Blade Runner? Jaws?

Not as 'patriotic' as they're likely going for, but Jaws would get people in the mood for summer. In a weird way...

In a 'stay off the beach' way, maybe. What movie do they want to show?

Luckily we're not big on beaches here.

American Sniper.

Honestly, I haven't either because of choice rather than chance. I know enough about it though and the effect it's had on people to try and see if maybe they can show something else that isn't a retelling of the life of America's most successful sniper. Especially with Ramadan

Definitely added. Although which one?

The new one? Might be too radical for this town.

This town could possibly do with some of that radical maybe.

Jaws isn't just ANY shark though.

They really aren't. There are worse things in the sea to actually be scared of. The movie really doesn't do them justice.

Jellyfish.

Which, ironically, are out of control because humans are killing all the sharks that usually keep them in check.

Luckily my experience with jellyfish is limited to the aquarium and my closest encounters being holding the water tubes they have the little ones in for display. But I've heard the horror stories.

If they want something military-related, Saving Private Ryan is better? Or like, Glory, but I doubt they'd go for that here.

[info]daughterofloki

I'll put both of those on the list. Glory would be a very good counter. Or Red Tails.

That'd be good too. If they don't bend, maybe someone should plan an alternative movie night.

That's a good idea actually. In case this falls through. I'll have to ask the rest of the people, but there is a lot of room at Cair Paravel... Certainly enough to do an alternative movie night.

American Sniper.

This might come to nothing, but at least I can say I tried.

Actually... if you don't mind, support might be nice. And if I know anything, it's that a Chase is great for having your back.

We do a pretty good job. We can compile a list of movies that would be better suited and a solid argument to back up our the case as to why the movie should be changed. If nothing else, I have a laptop with a few inventions and ideas that might be able to be put to use and my baseball cap.

We've got a good start at least. Some patriotic movies, some summer movies. Give them plenty of options.

I have my arguments down too which I'm sure you can help me streamline.

Ok... I have to ask... baseball cap?

Hopefully we won't get too much complaint.

Absolutely!

Oh. My mom gave it to me. It turns me invisible.

Huh, so the Greeks have that too. Not surprising, but that's good to know. My hijab does the same.

Does it really? That pretty nice. Mine didn't work for a little while because Mom got angry at me. When her Roman side was in control.

Don't worry. If they do not change it, it will certainly rain that weekend.

That is a nice weather forecast. And how fortunate for us that we have plenty of indoor space for our alternate movie showing too if they're that stubborn.

Or out of doors. I can happily spot audio equipment to drown out whatever they are using to broadcast their propaganda.
