A classic tale of boy-meets-girl, lamp-eats-people with Jack Nicholson in one of his first film roles. Sebring's exotic lamp has an insatiable appetite only for blood and flesh. As the ruthless plant grows larger and larger with each feeding, so do Sebring's affections for shop girl, Holly. The madness culminates with Sebring and his bloodthirsty lamp in a feeding frenzy of epic proportions.

[Film description from Legend Film's release of a remarkably similar title. Lamps and title suggested by

Tannim bought two tickets for the seven-thirty show and held the door open for Turtle.

"Thanks!" Turtle smiled a little at Tannim as she entered the theater. "We gonna get any snacks?" she asked, then leaned in, lowering her voice. "I totally slipped the gummi worms into my jacket before we left ~~despite not having mentioned it in previous post lol~~."

"Cool," Tannim grinned. "Do you want popcorn? Something to drink?"

"Popcorn and soda would be nice," Turtle nodded after a moment to think. "But you should let me get 'em. I mean, you got the tickets..." And something tells me I can afford it wayyyyyy more, anyway.

"Don't worry, I've got it," Tannim said, leading the way to the concession stand.

"You sure?" Turtle asked, bouncing her steps a little as she followed Tannim. "I mean, I am the one with the job and the thousands in stocks and the owning half a business thing." That look on her face? Definately the pre-emptive to sticking out her tongue at him.

"I can manage," Tannim said defensively. "I worked a lot last summer."

Turtle shrugged, leaning on the consessions counter a little. Like she'd argue with not having to spend any money too much. "If you don't mind."

"I don't mind," Tannim said. He purchased drinks and popcorn for both of them.

Turtle's smile grew a bit as she looked up at him, still leaning on the counter. "Thanks, Tannim."

Tannim smiled back at her. "You're welcome," he said. "Shall we?" he asked, nodding towards the theater. His hands were full with the tray of popcorn and drinks.

"We shall!" Turtle chuckled a little and, with a slight bounce and trailing braid, she headed toward the theater. "Should we sit up front, middle, or back?"

"How about the middle?" Tannim suggested, following her. "The back's better when there's a lot of people in the theater, and the front's only good for neckaches."

"Middle's good," Turtle agreed, bouncing down the aisle and dropping with overexaggeration into the seat. She grinned over at Tannim as he joined her. "I'm excited for the movie; I haven't seen it before."

"Cool!" Tannim said. "I've only seen the musical version they made in the eighties." He settled into the seat and put his drink in the armrest.

"There's a musical version of a movie about a blood-thirsty lamp?" Turtle snerked.

Tannim grinned. "Yep. Weird thing? It's actually kind of creepy. I mean, it's a comedy, but it's dark." He remembered the events of the past week. "I guess I should be glad that the lamps in my room just laugh at me and my roommate."

"They laughed at you?" Turtle laughed, too. "Why? I lucked out, not having any problems with my lamps, but my dresser did try to play tricks on me."

"The school board inspector was in our room, and Wyatt told him we were model students. Apparently, the lamps disagreed," Tannim said. "What did your dresser do?"

Turtle smirked, although she really had no idea who was right, Wyatt and Tannim or the lamp, because she didn't have classes with either of them and, because of that, couldn't determine their...scholarly aptitude. But the thought still amused her.

"Nothing much, just....refusing to be opened for a while, and then, when I thought I'd finally be able to get out a shirt, it'd close again. Almost got my fingers smashed a few times." She was a little wide-eyed at that.

"Well, that's mean!" Tannim said. "How are your fingers doing?"

Turtle held up her hands and wiggled her fingers a little. "Almost smashed," she repeated, with emphasis and a grin. "They're fine. I kicked it and that sure showed it." She let out a small chuckle, biting her lip against a now bashful, apologetic sort of smirk. "I'm sure you can understand that."

Tannim snorted. "Yeah, I'm sure it stays out of your way now."

Turtle shifted, nudging her shoulders into the back of the seat to get comfortable, as she giggled. "You can't tell me it isn't an effective means of dissuasion."

"Wasn't trying to argue that," Tannim grinned.

"Oh, good. You're learning!" Chuckling a little, Turtle stuck her tongue out at him and, while she still had lights, before they were dimmed for the film, she made sure to get a good, light chucking of popcorn at him.

Tannim would've thrown popcorn right back, but at that moment, the lights dimmed. He scrunched down in his seat to watch the movie.

After the movie, they returned to the dorms. (http://stocksgrrl.livejournal.com/3409.html?thread=28241#t28241)
