Here’s the deal. I usually get into the funky video store that I work at around 4 or 5 at night. Before, say, 8 PM we have to watch kiddie-happy movies, so we don’t horrify the kids. After that, it’s up for grabs. On Friday the 13th, we watched Dead Alive. Eep.
However, I’ve worked there for 4 weeks, and am running out of favorite movies to watch. I work with three boys, and one chick. One of the boys is a huge Star Wars fan. He almost got smacked last night when he made a psuedo-snide remark about my choice of The Philidelphia Story as the kiddie-happy movie. There is the artsy guy who is nice enough to not give me grief about anything I pick. The other guy has been on vacation, so I don’t know what he likes. The chick is WAAAY too much like me in every way possible, so we agree on most movies.
I’m big on theme nights. We usually have time for one kid happy movie and two R rated movies in one night. Devise some fun theme nights that my coworkers will enjoy. Some things to remember: these movies are background noise, something to stare at when there is a lull in the crowds. Complicated or subtitled movies tend to be hard to follow, though we did watch Run, Lola Run the other night. Anything with audible sex scenes tends to make anyone who is in the store stop whatever they are doing and stare with disbelief at the TV. So porn is out.
Do my job, Dopers.
