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? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	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? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Usually, because it's supposed to represent "summer." Um - Terminator? Blade Runner? Jaws? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not as 'patriotic' as they're likely going for, but Jaws would get people in the mood for summer. In a weird way... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In a 'stay off the beach' way, maybe. What movie do they want to show? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Luckily we're not big on beaches here. American Sniper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's -- I've never seen it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, there's always something epic. Mad Max? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daughterofloki 2017-05-09 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	Definitely added. Although which one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	continuityerror 2017-05-10 01:00 am UTC (link)
	The new one? Might be too radical for this town. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daughterofloki 2017-05-10 05:14 am UTC (link)
	This town could possibly do with some of that radical maybe. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sharks really aren't very scary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	continuityerror 2017-05-09 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	Jaws isn't just ANY shark though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tidalking 2017-05-09 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	It's silly. Humans don't even taste good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	continuityerror 2017-05-09 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	Ok, Jaws isn't as unrealistic as say, Jurassic Park? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know, I can't talk to dinosaurs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Guess that's fair. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	diluvial 2017-05-11 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	So you've heard....? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	daughterofloki 2017-05-09 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	They really aren't. There are worse things in the sea to actually be scared of. The movie really doesn't do them justice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tidalking 2017-05-09 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	Jellyfish. Which, ironically, are out of control because humans are killing all the sharks that usually keep them in check. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daughterofloki 2017-05-10 05:18 am UTC (link)
	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. (Reply to this) (Parent)
