[there's some shuffle as the journal is pushed open, and after a minute of considering what to say, Sweets speaks]

I was reminded not too long ago [read: Halloween] that I promised someone [read: Mindy] a John Wayne movie marathon. I fully intend to follow through sometime this month, but I was wondering if there was anyone else who might be interested?

I know that some people don't know who John Wayne is, or ... possibly even what movies are, so it could even be considered a cultural event. You can see a piece of something from our worlds that you wouldn't normally see in yours. Granted, these are old western films, so they don't necessarily have the best track record in terms of realism -- that wasn't really what they were for -- or ... matters of race and gender, but they're still rather enjoyable in their own right.

[a beat. he's an academic, you'll have to forgive him.]

My point being, I thought it would be a good community building exercise. I'll even bring popcorn.

Mystery movies are better.

Mystery movies have their merits, but there are some great cowboy films out there.

I hope you know to already count me in.

[of course not. that has nothing to do with it at all.]

I was hoping you'd say that.

They're movies. Of course they aren't realistic. They're entertainment.

Could use a distraction.

Some people in my world and time period like more realism in their films. They're just not able to suspend disbelief as easily.

I've never heard of John Wayne, but we used to go to the theatre a lot when I was younger.

What kind of movies did you like to see?

You know I'm in!

[They should really have a Star Wars marathon sometime and just geek out]

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[They should. One of these days, they will.]

I was hoping you'd say that.

[valuedstrength.livejournal.com]

Count me in. It's been a while since I've seen a movie much less one of his.

Are you a big John Wayne fan?

Really? I didn't know that.

I prefer Star Wars.

not at all! =D

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

So do I. But the deal I made was for John Wayne films, so I'm honoring that.

Count me in. My dad is a fan of the Duke.

Excellent. At this rate I'm going to have to make a list.
