THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER (1982) dir. George T. Miller

[jevilowo]

Its been awhile I'm doing another one of These Things

What TV Shows the Mercs would watch

Scout: Baseball. Obviously. He loudly complains about the cartoons Pyro puts on, but never makes a grab for the remote or leaves the room.

Soldier: He's half convinced that the TV uses Communist Technology™ to hypnotise people into becoming hippies and attempts to blow it up every couple of days. He conveniently forgets his beliefs during the superbowl (first aired in 67, he could totally watch it!).

Pyro: Cartoons. Dramatic movies. Anything with fire in it. Horror movies (they giggle and clap gleefully every time someone dies brutally). Has a love-hate relationship with movie musicals.

Demo: Fan of mystery shows, courtroom dramas, and shitty B-Movies. Especially enjoys the (explosive) special effects. It's sad that Highlander and Braveheart weren't sixties movies, considering how many of Demo's weapons, achievements, voicelines and etc reference them.

Heavy: Old lady tv. Cooking shows. Gardening programmes. Watches tv mostly to fall asleep in front of. Has that dad instinct where he can tell if you've changed the channel despite being asleep.

Engie: Documentaries about new technology, mostly. I can see him being the kind of guy who's really into those technicolour musical films. Would probably cry at the end of Wizard of Oz.

Medic: Horror movies! Watches them with Pyro and Demo mostly and complains about the gorey stuff not being medically accurate. Would get overly invested in stupid sitcoms and hate it.

Sniper: Watches nothing but nature documentaries. If the channel is changed he will simply leave the room. What the fuck ever. I like to think he has a large collection of tapes and a vhs player in his van. Falls asleep every movie night without fail.

Spy: Thinks television is mostly beneath him, but doesn't hate movies. Enjoys watching spy movies and mansplaining how he would have done it to anyone who'll listen.

RIOT (2018) dir. Jeffrey Walker In 1978, when the push to decriminalize homosexuality has stalled, a group of activists decide they must make one final attempt to celebrate who they are. Led by former union boss Lance Gowland, they get a police permit and spread the word. On a freezing winter's night, they cloak themselves in fancy dress, join hands, and parade down Oxford Street. But they have no idea that angry police lie in wait, and the courage they find that night will finally mobilize the nation. (requested by @haveyouseenthisqueerfilm, link in title)

I watched an entire movie in the cinema last night while wearing my sunglasses and let me just tell you it's the best thing I've done in a while.

I had work at the hospital in the morning and the lights there are super bright (i wish I could turn them down but sadly that's not an option for my area so I just suffer every shift) so I had a headache. Then I went to the shops with friends and the headache kept building so I put on sunnies to block some of the light and rest my eyes (and took like. So much advil lol). We decided to go see Gladiator 2 at the cinema and I was like "Okay ill probably take these off and put on my actual glasses when we get there" like a normal person would. But fun fact! You don't have to do that!

I had them off walking in but because they're prescription I had to put them back on to find my seat (my actual glasses were in my bag and I didn't want to fight with that at the door I was gunna get them once I sat down). Found it, sat down, looked at the screen where the trailers were playing and. Hang on. I can see great right now? These are prescription so nothing's blury. And they are the perfect darkness/level of polarised that i can still see everything but nothing hurts?

I stg i felt like I unlocked the secrets of the universe when I realised I could just. Keep them on. I have finally found a way to adjust the brightness at the cinema! (Granted my friends said i looked like the guy from Weekend at Bernie's but that's beside the point). Watched the whole movie with the sunnies on. My head didn't hurt (anymore than it had before). I actually enjoyed the movie. Was amazing

10/10 recommend wearing sunglasses to the cinema 😂🙌🏻
