[open] you were content to let me shine, that's your way.
Who: Rocket and anyone who wanders into this hot mess
Where: Wonderland's "movie theater."
When: Various points throughout the month of March, except during events. (Catch-all)
Rating: PG-13 for Rocket's mouth, probably
Summary: Rocket doesn't always play Beat the Clock with bombs in the hedge maze or shoot things for fun... sometimes he catches up on Terran pop culture.
The Story:
ᴀ. ɢᴇɴᴇʀɪᴄ ʜᴏʀʀᴏʀ ᴍᴏᴠɪᴇ
We find Rocket seated comfortably in the first row of comfy couches, a bowl of trail mix situated beside him, which he keeps idly reaching his disconcertingly human-like hands into, as he stares at the scene unfolding before him with the look of someone wondering if the movie is going to actually get good if he looks away for a second.
"Bet he's still alive," he mutters, popping a pretzel in his mouth. Unsurprisingly, the killer gets to his feet, limping along and ready to have one last stab- hah- at the quirky killer. "Dippy broad. You're supposed to shoot his face in before you turn your back."
He ends up going through several horror movies and being continuously disappointed in all of them and their lame excuses for twists. He's probably even figured some out way before the ending, and isn't shy about proclaiming his theories, therefore ruining the suspense. He's a bro like that.
ʙ. ɢᴇɴᴇʀɪᴄ ꜱᴄɪ-ꜰɪ ᴍᴏᴠɪᴇ
If you thought watching horror movies with Rocket was annoying, then wait until you see how he gets with science fiction. Most of it is yawn-worthy to him, having lived in space. More importantly, it's horribly unrealistic. He spends most of the ones he watches flopped in one corner of the couch with his head on the armrest, rolling his eyes.
People watching with him get treated to a raccoonoid in various states of agony, running his hands over his face, muttering things like, "You can't freakin' do that, jackass. You'll burn up your d'ast engines" or "Did they hand a bunch of frickin' children laser guns? Why can't any of these people hit anything?"
But also, occasionally, he'll perk up and you get things like, "Now that's a nicely designed spacecraft. Y'all can imagine that, but you can't legitimately build it? What a waste."
ᴄ. ʙᴇᴀᴄʜᴇꜱ
It's hard to say where Rocket was when this movie began, but right now he's in the middle of the comfy floor pillows with a blanket over his head, staring with wide eyes at the screen. He may or may not be sniffling a little bit as "Wind Beneath My Wings" starts playing.
Look, the story of an unlikely friendship withstanding the test of time and people being selfish and stupid, only for one of them to die really hits home for him. And while he's too manly to admit why it gets to him so deeply, he's not too manly to admit he can be genuinely moved by the film. God, people. He has feelings too, you know.
He definitely spent the entirety of this one engrossed entirely and threatened to shoot you if you interrupted it. Look, he's been thinking about Groot a lot lately. He was bound to find some way to deal with this.
ᴅ. ᴛɪᴛᴀɴɪᴄ
You probably stumbled upon this viewing because Rocket has spent most of it yelling at the screen, ranging from things like "YOU ARROGANT DICK" to "oh my flark- YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF THAT?" and so on and so forth. It's hard to tell whether he's pissed at this movie or worked up because he actually likes the characters and wants better for them. It's Rocket. He's difficult to read.
As it draws to an emotional climax, Rocket is tugging at his ears and looking somewhere between wanting to yell or cry. Or both. "You both could've fit on that d'asted raft! What the hell, Rose?!"
ᴇ. ᴛʜᴇ ɪꜱʟᴀɴᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴅʀ. ᴍᴏʀᴇᴀᴜ
This one starts out promising. Plane crash. People duking it out for survival. Iceman from Top Gun is in it. All really great points, but as it goes on, it occurs to Rocket that maybe he should have paid a little bit closer attention to the details. At first, the strange hybrid humanoid animals and the talk of experimentation only make him tense and a little annoyed, but he manages to keep watching, if anything, out of stubbornness, growing continuously more on edge the longer it goes on. He doesn't even make it halfway, however, after a brutal scene involving bringing the Beast Folk into submission through their implants forces him to snarl and slam a hand down on the remote.
Once his fur settles, he tries to play it off. "It was boring anyway."

He goes quiet as the camera moves its way down the busy corridors of a hospital of some sort and the unexpected sight raises his hackles for a second, but he brushes it off when they cut to the heroine from last movie sitting quietly in room, while a doctor evaluates her mental issues. "The good news is- the bad guy didn't kill her. The bad news is she's in the crazy house."
He leans over and gestures to the TV. "This entire bowl of popcorn says she's gonna bite it in the next ten minutes and some other broad's gonna be the main character." It's really hard to place bets in a place that has no monetary system. He would like that on the record.
no subject
The therapy session proceeds, the doctor asking question after question while the woman grows more and more agitated. Finally, she snaps, launching herself across the room at the doctor and screaming at him as she produces a knife out of nowhere. Ten seconds later, the doctor's lying in a puddle of his own blood on the floor, and the once-heroine is racing through the corridors, clearly unstable and now bloodthirsty to boot. It's not hard to guess who the villian of this piece is going to be. Joel raises his eyebrows.
"Huh. Didn't see that comin'."
no subject
"Y'know, I'm kinda on her side a little bit. That doctor was a douchebag."
no subject
Joel glances down at Rocket, tilting his head. "Still think she's gonna bite it?"
no subject
"It could still happen." Though the beat was in the first ten minutes and those ten minutes are now up, even if the movie is focusing on a new character. He begrudgingly hands over the popcorn bowl, but not before taking a big handful. "I was still half right."
no subject
"Yeah, you were half right. So I'd say we both won." He gestures to the screen, and the movie's painfully awkward introduction to the new protagonist. "Much as anyone can win anything while watchin' this, at least."
no subject
"Eh, it's a good way to kill a couple hours. Not like we got jobs to go back to." Just weapons. So many weapons.
no subject
Sometimes he gets restless, not having anything to do. No need for smuggling here. No scrounging for food and supplies. Everything's just provided. Of course, when that happens, he can always go to Tess. She's somehow kept herself just as busy here as she ever was back home, and she never has any problem finding work for Joel, either.
The thought of a raccoon holding down a job makes him smirk, though, and he turns to Rocket with a raised eyebrow, teasing.
"What was your job? Garbage collector?"
Get it? Because raccoon?
no subject
"Mercenary," he says, flatly. "Thief. And occasionally savior of the whole freakin' galaxy."
Look, maybe the joke would've been funny if he didn't deal with those jokes every third day of the week.
no subject
"Sorry, sorry. Just kiddin' around."
Not funny. He gets it. Joel ignores the movie for a moment, just studying Rocket.
"Savior of the galaxy, huh?"
no subject
Not that they got paid for saving Xandar, except in good will and clear records, but Rocket would rather pretend he was only in it for the money.
no subject
He tilts his head, considering. "So who exactly foots the bill for that kinda thing? Savin' the galaxy?"
no subject
That's a funny joke. The Shi'ar would never pay anyone for anything, especially not saving the galaxy in their general vicinity. They'd just be pissed someone jumped in to defend them before they could do it their damn selves.
no subject
"Least you got paid," he offers instead, kicking his feet up and checking on the movie. No gore happening yet, just a bunch of supposedly creepy foreshadowing.
