Swayze Always Gets A Pass - OTA

[st_illfighting]

Dean had entered the library - yes he knew there was one, but he wasn't a fan of the one at the Inn because of all the 'Black Magic Women' that were in charge of it. He didn't trust it - or rather them and by extension, it. But he'd heard there were VCR machines to be rented and he'd gone in, got what he needed and got out - sort of like how he did clothes shopping.

Videos were another matter entirely. That was like going into an old school Blockbuster and not around the magic types. Win/win. He was looking at the selection in the VHS 'lending library' area. "Man this is awesome!" He grabbed, 'The Outsiders, Roadhouse and Rudy' then went down the next aisle and made a face when the first movie he saw was 'Dirty Dancing'. "Swazye always gets a pass."

One of the black magic women was reshelving materials and not paying particular attention to the context that brought that comment about. Which didn't matter, because as Sunny admitted, "My knowledge of Patrick Swayze begins and ends with the lyrics to 'Let's All Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas,' so I'm not sure what that means."

"I'll have to smash your kneecaps if you bastards touch my car!" Dean nodded. "Nice reference." That was actually his favorite line in that song.

"Well it first means that you definitely need an education in all thing Patrick Swayze. But what it means after that is, he normally makes great movies but when he makes a chick flick kind, he gets forgiven."

Because it's Swayze, same with Rudy Hobbit.

"Ah." So in other words, an excuse for men not to feel unmanly watching a girl movie. It sounded like a motto her brothers might like. But Sunny wasn't going to get into that here and now. "So what would one of the great ones be?"

Re: Dean & Sunny

[st_illfighting]

"Outsiders, this is a classic." He held up the tape for her to see. "It's about poor kids verses richer kids and growing up as an outsider in town." He might identify with the outsiders.

"It's based on a book." He tossed that in because he heard Sam's voice in the back of his head yapping about it was a book first.

Re: Dean & Sunny

"That doesn't much matter. Either it stands on its own as a story or not." But Sunny did have to admit that was intriguing. There were a lot of different ways to be on the social fringe. She idly fingered a blonde braid. "But that sounds interesting. Maybe I'll try it out when you're done."

Re: Dean & Sunny

[st_illfighting]

He’d seen it a million times and it wasn’t like he was going anywhere. Beside, introducing someone to the greatness of Patrick Swayze was always good.

Dean held out the tape to her, “here, try it out now if you want. I have enough movies to watch. I’ll pick it up when you’re done.”

Re: Dean & Sunny

[st_igmatized]

"If you're sure..." Sunny started as she tentatively accepted the tape. She was already considering who she might ask to watch it with her. She wasn't keen on watching movies by herself.

She nodded toward the stack he'd collected. "Are you ready to check out, or did you have more browsing to do?"

Re: Dean & Sunny

[st_illfighting]

He could watch Rudy and Roadhouse over and over, so this wouldn't be a problem. "Yeah, I'm good. Is there like a time limit on these things?"

Re: Dean & Sunny

[st_igmatized]

Sunny nodded, but she had to admit, "Yeah, but we're not as strict about it as an actual library would be. It's too easy to lose track of time here." She jerked her head in the direction of the circulation desk. "I can take care of it."

Re: Dean & Sunny

[st_illfighting]

"And it's not like you wouldn't be able to find me if I didn't bring it back." Dean said with a flash of a smile as he followed her toward the desk.

Re: Dean & Sunny

[st_igmatized]

"We do know where everyone sleeps," Sunny answered, keeping her laugh soft to keep from disturbing any other patrons. She led Dean back to the desk and took the VHS tapes so she could complete the charm that would allow the materials to leave the library space.

She passed them back when she'd finished. "But most people finish and come back before a month's up. Have fun with those."

Re: Dean & Sunny

[st_illfighting]

"Thanks and enjoy the movie." He motioned toward the Outsiders with his chin as he scooped up the other tapes.

Re: Dean & Sunny

[st_igmatized]

Sunny nodded and picked up the tape, considering it. "I've only seen a couple of Coppola films before, but that name alone is guarantee that it'll be interesting. And it's been too long since I saw a movie older than I am. An American one, anyway."

Molly & Dean

[st_eampunk]

"Nobody puts baby in a corner." Molly said with a grin but she reached for 'Ghost.' She actually wasn't that big of a fan of Dirty Dancing either. Her own eclectic grouping included Heathers, Alien, The Big Lebowski and now Ghost. "What? You're not a fan of Dirty Dancing?" She winked.

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_illfighting]

Dean smirked, "well it depended on who I'm Dirty Dancing with. But if you mean the movie, no I'm not." He glanced down at her selections and whistled softly, "well except for Ghost, that's a nice group."

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_eampunk]

"What's wrong with Ghost? Not a romantic?" Truth was she'd never been into the movie either but it had a special meaning since Harry's death. "I bet some girl could talk you into sitting with her and a pottery wheel."

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_illfighting]

Dean was about to say that he was pretty sure she couldn't, but that would be viewed as a challenge to find someone that would, so he kept his mouth shut.

"I bet once she does I could distract her really fast." He winked. "So what's your favorite genre? You have a lot of different."

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_eampunk]

"Before I became a wizard it was horror movies. I loved them all from cheesy to the good ones like Alien. After dealing with real life monsters, I like dark comedies." She held up Heathers. "Like this one."

Though you know from the next century.

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_illfighting]

“I get it.” Dean nodded with a half-smile, “I usually yell at the TV that they get the monsters all wrong and you need a shotgun you stupid son of a bitch. I can’t watch horror movies much either. Except Scooby Doo, it’s a classic and you can’t go wrong with that.”

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_eampunk]

"First Gilligan's Island and now Scooby Doo. You do love your classics, don't you?" Molly teased and then glanced down at his tapes, "how come you don't have Scooby in there. They probably have them on VHS.... oh maybe not. Is that a new thing to put shows on DVDs?"

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_illfighting]

"Good point. It probably was around on tape when I was a kid in the 80s but it wouldn't be here. But it might be on the TV. I'll have to check it out." Dean made a mental note to do that.

"And who doesn't love the classics?"

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_eampunk]

"Right? Plus, they're really good baby sitting. Just sit a kid in front of it and they'll be entertained for hours." She smiled slightly, "though I can't picture Sam sitting and watching Scooby Doo for long."

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_illfighting]

"He did when he was younger, but yeah, not after a while." Dean admitted then smirked, "but I always had it on so he was stuck with it. What's your favorite episode?"

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_eampunk]

"Anything without Scrappy Doo." Molly smirked, "but I do like Haunted House Hang Ups. What's yours?"

Re: Molly & Dean

[st_illfighting]

"Amen, sister." Dean agreed with Molly on Scrappy Doo. "My favorite is a Night of Fright is no Delight. It's a classic."
