Mystery Sign Theater 3000, Friday Evening

After spending far too much time attempting to catch up on the technology of the fuuuutuuuure day, Howard was going to settle on something that couldn't possibly have changed that much. Movies.

As long as people still watched them in theaters, he was happy. That might be because he hadn't heard about those fancy 3-D movies. Or hardlight holographic projectors. Look, he could only handle so much at a time without the crutch of bad coffee and good alcohol.

This island hated him.

"The title doesn't leave much to the imagination," he said, looking up at the marquee.

Now Showing
Cowboys and Aliens

"I think it's part of the appeal," Steve said as he, too, looked up at the marquee. "You know what you're getting. Cowboys, and aliens. And presumably they fight." Because what else would they do?

Work together for a brighter tomorrow?

"Are you sure they don't do musicals anymore?" Howard, don't be a whiner.
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - thinking about it)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Every now and then," Steve said a little wistfully. "But not like they used to." He shook his head a little and said, "But I think you'll like the effects."

"I don't know, I was always fond of those war bond films of yours," Howard replied, looking over the candy critically. What the heck was a Sour Patch Kid?
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - thinking about it)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
"What war bond films?" Steve asked, confused. "Are you talking about the newsreels?"

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
"The ones on the sound stages," Howard confirmed. "That costume was horrible."

Headwings, Steve. Headwings.
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - Tony said what?)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
The headwings were dignified, thank you very much. "I don't actually know what you're talking about."

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
HORRIBLE.

"Huh." Howard gave him the same look he'd been giving that candy before. "No dancing gals with you then?"
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - laughing)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
"No," Steve laughed. "I'm not much of a dancer."

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Pity." Everyone liked those girls.
screwyoumarvel: (Default)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Well, dancing girls. What wasn't to like? "I punched Hitler one time, though," Steve volunteered. He wasn't really sure why he wanted to impress Howard so.

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"...actual Hitler?" AN ACTOR DRESSED AS HITLER DIDN'T COUNT, STEVE.
screwyoumarvel: (remember that one time...)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes," Steve said. "It was fun. And extremely satisfying."

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh." There was that confusing candy look again. "Just how different were things for you? Did you at least have the shield?"
screwyoumarvel: (Cap - shieldslinger)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
'Confusing candy' was not a descriptor that had ever been applied to Steve before, but it was oddly...accurate. "Of course I had a shield," Steve said. "Not now, though, I retired. Well, I have one, but it's not mine, it's on loan." From...a Tony Stark, which he probably should not tell Howard. Also, he should probably look into making sure that Tony got the shield back.

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, he was Jossed on that one anyway.

"On loan?"
screwyoumarvel: (Default)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Too true, but it wasn't like Steve knew that. "I think it belongs to some other me. Or it might have been a prototype. Not sure. I got it from someone who isn't on the island any more." Ahem.

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Which was for the best, really. The brain breaking would be even worse then.

"I think I still have one of those laying around, waiting to be unpacked..." It wasn't the proper alloy, but it was as close as they could get.

There. Jossing solved.
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - blue t-shirt smile)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
*hands you a no-prize* "Well," Steve said, "Enough about my shield. Did you have any question about the candy?" The literal candy.

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
IT WAS VERY CONFUSING.

"I think I'll stick to M&Ms." Ah, something that was normal there.

"Good plan," Steve said. "Do you want popcorn? My treat...don't. Don't look at the prices." They were shocking even if you were from this time. He was strictly protecting Howard here.

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well, when you say it like that...

"It's a good thing I'm rich," Howard decided. "How do they expect anyone to pay this?"
screwyoumarvel: (Default)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
"You're captive," Steve said dryly. "And you can smell the popcorn."
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - blue t-shirt arms)

[personal profile] screwyoumarvel 2011-09-10 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Steve shrugged. "That's capitalism."

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
"I'd be impressed if I wasn't trapped in it," Howard replied, also boggling at the sizes of the drinks.

The man in the black suit and sunglasses was sitting a row behind these two chatterboxes and finally had enough of the chit-chat.

"You boys going to talk through the whole movie?" he complained.

Why is he wearing his sunglasses in the movie theater?

Shhh. He's K.

[identity profile] old-and-busted.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
K took off his sunglasses and gave the man a look. "Son? Most people come here to see a show. Not to listed to people chat their lives away."

K actually came to these movies for a laugh. Most SciFi movies were a comedy to him anyway. None of them got it right.

"Colonel Phillips?" What in the wide, wide world of sports!?

[identity profile] old-and-busted.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Fandom and your doppelganger fun.

"...Beg pardon?"

Yes, there might be a bit of dry saracasm with that "beg pardon."

Deal with it.

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
...that didn't help prove he wasn't the Colonel, sadly.

"You look like someone I knew." Well, technically still know. Silly time travel.

[identity profile] old-and-busted.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
"That's very fascinating," K replied in a tired and dry tone that pretty much conveyed he didn't give a damn.

Which probably still didn't prove he wasn't the Colonel.

"Now if you can sit down and keep your mouth shut I might be able to enjoy this fine feature film."

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much, yes.

"I'm sure there are a lot of explosions you wouldn't want to miss," Howard replied with a grin. Because he was a Stark still. "For the good of the storyline."

[identity profile] old-and-busted.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Are you still talking?" K asked incredulously.

At which point some NPC person behind K shushed him.

"Don't shush me, young man," K warned. "I'm not one to be shushed."

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Which could only mean, Howard would respond with, "Could you keep it down? I'm trying to watch what passes for a movie."

[identity profile] old-and-busted.livejournal.com 2011-09-10 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
K just glared at Howard.

It was a mother of a glare.
