Movie Night

19 06 2008

So here’s what I’m thinking.

This summer I’m going to be busy studying and most of you will be busy partying so now and then, all of us are gonna need some time to just sit back and chill the fuck out. So my suggestion is we have a movie night once a week, say on Friday or Saturday.

We choose two or three movies, everyone brings their food, booze and babes, and we just hang out. If we get bored of the movie, we’ll do something else like playing poker or kleurewiezen or klaverjassen or comparing breast sizes. Or dancing on the spot whilst shouting ‘Charelke! Charelkeeuh!’ for no apparent reason.

Each movie night has its own theme. Here are some suggestions I thought up while watching Rambo last night.

  • Movies that are so manly it’s ridiculous (e.g. 300, Beowulf)
  • Movies that are so absolutely terrible they become funny (The Longest Yard, The Condemned)
  • Movies that can only be described by the word awesome (Transformers, Crank)
  • Movies starring that Deep Impact guy (Sin City, Everything Is Illuminated)
  • Movies that prove Clive Owen is just plain better than everybody else (Children Of Men, Shoot ‘Em Up)
  • Movies where famous people pop up for no apparent reason (Chuck Norris in Dodgeball)
  • Movies with pretty long titles that if spelled backwards make no sense whatsoever (pretty much every movie ever made)
  • Movies we’ve seen so many times we know every line and can just focus on the funny stuff (Lord of the Rings, Die Hard 3)
  • Movies that prove that Burton + Depp > God (Edward Scissorhands, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory)
  • Movies starring hot actresses who should make out with each other for no apparent reason during the course of the film (sadly I can’t come up with any examples)
  • Movies where stuff explodes because, sometimes, stuff just needs to fucking explode (any Michael Bay picture)
  • MATT DAMON!!! (Team America, Good Will Hunting)
  • etc.

We could do a series night once in a while too, watch some episodes of Coupling, Fawlty Towers, Top Gear, Futurama, Family Guy, whatever floats your boat. Each week we could decide the theme for next week and if we can’t agree on one, we’ll just use the Three-Headed Broadway Star Technique: everyone gets to say one word until we have a sentence that makes sense.

So, you know, if you’re interested let me know and if you’re going on a holiday some time this summer, please let me know so I can keep track of when everyone’s available. Cheers everyone.

Oh, that’s right:

P.S. Hayley from Paramore is hot.

That is all.
