041: Hey, It's Just an Ordinary Day

[contract_star]

[Hei appears on the Plane in a nice armchair, a coffee table and a widescreen TV. There's various plates of half-eaten food on the table that Hei is slowly working through, as well as a stack of papers with handwritten notes on them. Some of them look to be notes about cars again, but there's also some scribbles with a few Tokyo districts written down, as well as what look like details about them.]

[For now, though, Hei seems to be preoccupied with what's on the TV. Namely, I Love the 70's. 1974, to be exact--and even more specifically, the segment on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Deadpool got Hei to watch I Love the 80's, and Hei decided to follow up :|]

Killing someone with a chainsaw wouldn't be very efficient, though...

It's a film. The method of killing isn't supposed to be efficient, it's supposed to be graphic.

[contract_star]

Isn't that a bit...morbid?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

It's morbid, but it's still a pretty good film.

[contract_star]

Why? [Good luck, Ianto.]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Because it's scary, but... reasonably unrealistic.

[contract_star]

I've never understood why people like to be scared.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Me neither. Not real fear, anyway. But films are different. You know they're not real, and even if you're still nervous once they're finished you know nothing's going to come and gut you in the night or anything.

[contract_star]

...Oh. No wonder it doesn't make sense to me.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...why not?

[contract_star]

[Slight shrug.] Because I'm used to thinking that someone really might come try to gut me in the night, I guess.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I suppose the advantage of my job is most sci-fi is pretty unrealistic.

[contract_star]

We just don't have it like in the movies, huh?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Most people don't.

[contract_star]

Then why not make movies more realistic?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Because then no one would want to watch it.

[contract_star]

Hm...I suppose that's true...

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Not all films are like this one, though. What sort of genres do you think you'd like?

[contract_star]

...I really have no idea.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, there's action, adventure, drama, romance, comedy, sci-fi, fantasy, musicals, horror, film-noir, westerns... and a few others, plus sub-genres.

[contract_star]

...You know a lot about this sort of thing, don't you?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Everything worth knowing, and what I don't know I can easily find out.

[contract_star]

[Just chuckles a little at that.]
