Entry 25 [Video]

[usedsuitup]

[Our video opens today on one Barnabas Stinson. The Gear, being held by the loyal Marshall Treecko, shows Barney staring at a shelf in the pokemon mart. Staring at it, and looking rather confused.]

They still make VHS? God, you'd think with all the technology they have here, they'd have caught up to the twenty first century.

[However, he recovers quickly, and scoops up the camera]

Hey there Johto! How's it going?

You know, a lot of weird things have been going on lately. Especially with the whole pokemon powers epidemic that happened not too long ago. And that got me thinking that we are all under a lot of stress and that really, everyone needs a night off.

And so, ladies and gentlemen of Johto, I, Barney Stinson, propose a Bad Movie Night! A chance for everyone to sit back, relax, and rip apart the cinema of Johto for being just that horrible. I mean seriously, look at this.

[He holds up the video he found. A VHS affair of the classic film Ekans on a Plane.]

Who would pass up the chance to provide commentary on the pokemon version of this wonderful film? Staring, I might add, the pokemon version of Samuel L. Jackson.

No seriously, I'm pretty sure it's him.

This Wednesday, Johto, the twenty-second of August, I invite you to join me in this event. Because I can tell you right now, these movies are so bad? They'll be downright Legen - wait for it - Dary!

Why would you watch a movie if you know it's bad? ... And who is Samuel L. Jackson?

[video]

[usedsuitup]

Woah, hang on. You don't know who Samuel L. Jackson is?

[He will get to your other question momentarily. There are more important things at stake here.]

[video]

[torrentofbits]

I wouldn't have asked if I did.

Re: [video]

[usedsuitup]

Obviously. Well, he's an actor, a notable black actor from my world who is known for playing badasses in a number of movies.

He's pretty awesome, even if the movies aren't.

[video]

[punchandkiss]

...what's a movie?

[video]

[usedsuitup]

[And once again Barney is left wondering exactly where these people come from. How can you not have heard of these things?]

Seriously?

[But he will do his best. Because Astrid's a kid.]

It's like, a moving picture.

[punchandkiss]

...like the picture on these gear things?

[At least she has stopped calling them magic windows.]

[usedsuitup]

Something like that, yeah.

Although, this is more of a video, since it's live and in real time. Like a phone call with screens.

A movie's more like a something you watch. Like a book, except all the pictures move and tell a story.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

I didn't think anyone had VHS players anymore. That's about as ancient as cassette players.

[The last time he saw one he was... tiny. But there are more important things to talk about! Like movies!! Even though it's weird to accept an invitation from someone he's never met.]

It's going to be just like those outdoor theaters with popcorn roasted on a open-fire, right? [Exciting? Yes! Suspicious? Maybe.]

[video]

[usedsuitup]

I know, right? It's flat out bizarre. I didn't think I'd ever see something like this again.

[The fact that he's talking to someone about this who looks far younger than him makes him feel old.]

That's the plan, depending on the weather at least. I'd like to have it outside.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

You used them? You don't look that old. [There's a difference between seeing a VHS player and having to actually use said product.]

And you're just inviting everyone? [even the ones he doesn't know?]

[mamipunch]

Oh, oh, Mami wants to see a it's-so-bad-it's-good kind of movie too, Ojisan!

[ Headtilt. ]

...But what kind of movies do they even show here?

video;

[usedsuitup]

Pretty much the same kind of movies they show back home, except with pokemon in them.

I don't think I've seen a movie without pokemon.

[video]

[usedsuperpower]

Oh oh oh, Stitch want to watch movies!

[video]

[usedsuitup]

Awesome! Mahogany Town's the place to be to do that!

Any in particular you want to see?

[video]

[usedsuperpower]

Yes! Johto vs The Ariados! _{[Preeetty much one of the oldest and most B horror/sci-fi movies ever.]}

[video]

[melodicnocturne]

...That sounds really fun, actually. Where's the party at?

[He's staring into the screen with a really discerning look, but his tone is saying he's coming anyway.]

[video]

[usedsuitup]

It's gonna be more than fun, trust me!

Action's taking place in Mahogany Town. I'm working with the Joy here to get people flown in.

Since really this place is nowheresville backwaterton.

[video]

[melodicnocturne]

Flown in? Wow, that's pretty big of you! If you can swing that I'll definitely come.

It might not be too big of a deal for me, I was already passing through Ecruteak. Maybe I can meet someone outside Mount Mortar?

video; ;w; I hope I'm not too late for this...

[papasmellslikethis]

It's uncool to advertise a fun event and leave out the location!

video; never

[usedsuitup]

My bad, bro.

Mahogany Town's where this is going down.

video;

[papasmellslikethis]

[ Ma...hogany Town... Don't know Johto as well as he should, since he's still stuck in Violet. Mostly bedridden, because someone thought it'd be a good idea to jump out of a tree. ]

Where would that be, in relation to Violet Town?

[Video] BELATED TAG

[foolishwren]

Hey. S'cool you uh, organized this.

[Video] ALWAYS WELCOME!

[usedsuitup]

You think so?

Guess I should say thanks since you gave me the idea.

[Video] <33333

[foolishwren]

Yeah, uh... ahah. You're welcome.

... Unfortunately, I ... don't think I'll be able to come.
