Automatic, Cinematic!

My name is… aheheheheh. Yeah. Those other dudes thought I was a fisherman. Fuuuuunny.

The ol’ ‘Plex is a beauty, they built ‘er back in ‘57, I think. Panorama seating an’ balcony, red carpets, caved ceiling for the best sound you can get in any frikkin’ building from the 50’s. Sure, she’s a lil’ rusty. An’ there’s probably termites. Which is bad. But I got a bunch ‘a crates backstage full of old film rolls n’ all this beautiful stuff.

"Ah hah, that is quite funny, I was thinking more of the word r-e-a-l , since I have heard of a Fake Man, so I thought you must be the opposite haha."

"Oh it sounds…Charming? I suppose if you were a human, it’s not the best of living conditions but for a- um wandering robot it seems like a good choice especially if you have entertainment."

Oh? Well, I have been known as the only real man around. HAAA Seriously though it's like these guys think they're all badass.

Eh, it's no Latorren Cyberworks, but it's nostalgic and homey. 'S far as humans go, Drunk Chuck's the only one who bothers to hang around. He ain't exactly productive company. Y'know, because he's usually, uh, drunk.

Are there any movies you'd consider a guilty pleasure?

... see below, sister. Back home, I was considered a big-shot critic. Oooh, yeah. If I liked it, everybody had to see it. Otherwise, it's a B-O-B.

Can't afford to have guilty pleasures in that business! Ya watch it, if ya like it, then screw 'em if they don't!

Like, if I popped in a Trek movie, or some classic 'zilla once in a while. I guess you could... call it that... ah.

Favorite chick flick?

Ignoring that "chick flicks" don't. really. exist. Anymore.

Love Actually.

Sooo many better romance films that I could name, but as far as rom-coms go, I liked it. Not sure Titanic counts.

Not true. I don't know exactly what Symphony City's laws are, but I bet the city government owns that building.

Neither do I, but I ain't even worried.

Know why? 'cuz they cant kick me out 'cause everybody loves me.

... what? Oh, right. Chuck reminds me that the cops 'r on the net too. And they won't love that I said that. Oops.

Heheheh. Oh, sister, you have nooo idea. You should see my stash. Did I tell peeps on here about my stash? It’s also very pretty. Ever been by the ol’ Symphony Cineplex? That place with the boards in the doors and the marquee for BttF III…?

Hey, the name’s Reel, by the way.

"Um I don’t think so?…But please feel free to tell me about it! I go by Deux, and your name is quite confusing."

My name is... aheheheheh. Yeah. Those other dudes thought I was a fisherman. Fuuuuunny.

By living on property you don't even own, behind the owner's back, aren't you squatting?

... I happen to be sitting. Reclining, if you will. It's not possible to do that while sitting.

Wait... oh, that yeah

The theater's abandoned, dingus. Nobody owns it, people just like keepin' it here 'cause it's like a historic building 'r something. Ain't like the po-po's gonna knock the door in 'cause some homeless guy lives here.

... I refer to my buddy up in the balcony, Drunk Chuck. Say hello to the anons, Chuck!

… Okay, yeah, Y’got me there. Seems like for every Spielberg, there’s a Michael Bay. That’s why I never watch car movies.

Was just making a point, which is that is very pretty. I jus’ don’t get how it’s… what’s the word? Relevant?

"Exactly! Oh ho Camera boy I understand, it is very pretty indeed I agree with you. You’re quite passionate with the art cinema I see."

Heheheh. Oh, sister, you have nooo idea. You should see my stash. Did I tell peeps on here about my stash? It's also very pretty. Ever been by the ol' Symphony Cineplex? That place with the boards in the doors and the marquee for BttF III...?

#reeldeux

Oh. Oh. I see how it is.

It ain’t art when a production crew has t’ spend millions to be able to create planets and universes n’ create audiovisual magic. But it is when dudes in tights sing Glee numbers to Shakespere.

… Ain’t nothin’ wrong with ol’ Billy Shakes. Just sayin’. ‘s what it looks like.

"Excuse me? I did not say ALL of Hollywood was bad but mostly, if you think money and pretty effects can make up for bland acting, cardboard characters and a completely ahem bullshit plot, then I think we’re going to have some conflict…"

"And I won’t deny Broadway has its faults, I’m simply saying, many mixed feelings with Hollywood. I admit I am not the biggest fan of the cinema, but I do enjoy a few films here and there."

#reeldeux

By theatre, you sayin' like Hollywood? Or you mean that Broadway stuff?

"Broadway of course! Tsk, let us be honest Hollywood is lacking in the art department…Not all the time, but mostly."

Most famous movie you've never seen.

It's actually Avatar. Never bothered to watch it, which I know, is whack. I mean, highest grossing film in history, made by my boy J-Cam… but y'know, he wasn't doing much after Titanic anyway.... Citizen Cane held this title 'til I just watched it last Christmas. Which is sad in itself.

Reel just smirked under his mask. Oi, I’m just messing with ya. Can make the jokes, but can’t take ‘em? I think you need a little time away.

… or, y’know, I could jus’ swing by your place. As long as it’s not like… on a boat in the middle of the Pacific. Might be a problem there. Haaaaaah I’mma make sure to bring Jaws.

Hey! I can take a joke -Aqua immediately shook his head at the suggestion- Listen pal I ain’t suppose to have visitors, and- Ah ya got Jaws? I love that movie! Um well up until the ending -He sighed - Are you gonna keep bothering me till I agree to watch a movie or something?

#aquareel #((your geek is showing))

Buddy, I got everything under the sun in the back room here. Crates full of film strips an’ video cassettes an’ limited edition reels of current films… I got a production strip for The Little freakin’ Mermaid here somewhere. Been rewatching classic Godzilla since that new one was announced.

Ain’t jus’ watching movies here, my friend. We’re digging through Hollywood history! Haahaahaha!

So yeah. I’ll probably keep bugging you. Just ‘cause I’m bored as hell.

ahaHAHAHA yeah. Like… isn’t there a Gut Man ‘r something? Like, he could be… I dunno, gutsy and brave? Or he could… oh. Ew. Forget I said anything.

… and, ah, this jus’ is how the Reel Man talks, my portly compadre. Frankly, I find your lack of pop culture disturbing… You should swing by the ol’ theater sometime. Just picked up a vintage roll of “Dr. Strangelove”. She’s a beautiful thing.

-Aqua gave an annoyed huff that portly comment was uncalled for- Ya watch your words buddy, and I don’t go out so I ain’t visiting no theater.

Reel just smirked under his mask. Oi, I’m just messing with ya. Can make the jokes, but can’t take ‘em? I think you need a little time away.

PFFFFFF well I guess that’s true though. Like when I used to think reality was some freaky shit, then I just learned that we’re all actually simulated beings existing in the Matrix. The more you know.

I’m that guy you thought was a super fishing robot, remember? Reel Man? Ya’ should watch yourself if you’re gonna be dumb to peeps you never met. They might have a Wookie as a wingman.

So you’re the guy! Hah well alright I got confused, ain’t my fault they’re written the same way. -Aqua blinked a few times, now he was confused by what the hell this one was talking about. At least Reel Man wasn’t a fishing robot from the looks of the other.- Listen, you’re really weird, but kinda cute, so ya better talk like a normal person please, cause I ain’t got the brains to be analyzing your words right now.

ahaHAHAHA yeah. Like... isn't there a Gut Man 'r something? Like, he could be... I dunno, gutsy and brave? Or he could... oh. Ew. Forget I said anything.

Oh, I’m sorry, that thing just looks like an Alien facehugger that’s going to latch onto my face and feed my synth flesh to its unhatched children

If y’ think that’s coo’, then alright.

You’re being over dramatic, the more you know about something the less scary it is! Sometimes…I do think it’s cool! And I have no idea who ya are, so please tell me so I can properly make fun of you

#aquareel #((aaaand there he goes))
