Well...! It's about a baby. And he's the boss of a... company?

[ I also never saw Boss Baby so I genuinely don't know what this movie is about either. ]

There are some good movies, didn't you enjoy Star Wars or the pirate one? Was it Pirates of the Caribbean?

[selfimmolation]

[ he's making such a blank face because he's decided he doesn't want to know what boss baby is about actually. and he's right. ]

Yeah, they were alright. Tama picked the Caribbean one to make fun of me, I think, but it was sort of like looking at a funhouse mirror, you know?

[ he kept getting distracted ]

[unsync]

Oh.

[ He's doing math lady meme being like your life being a mirror of PotC is probably not good. ]

In a good way or bad way?

[selfimmolation]

Just a weird way. Not allowing women on ships seems really stupid.

[ one piece can be sexist but not like that ]

[unsync]

O-oh. I thought one of the main characters was a woman.

[ He's thinking of Elizabeth obviously but he also has very little memory of what PotC was about. There was a squid guy? ]

That is kind of weird.

[selfimmolation]

There is! They make a big deal about how she's bad luck or something, but she's kind of a better pirate than the other guys. Just weird.

[ "is that also true in potc" ace is just mad jack isn't loyal ]

[unsync]

Maybe it's a message about how they're wasting a good member by not letting her on the ship because she's a woman?

[ He really has no idea what goes on in PotC and it's been like 13 years since I saw it while I was seasick on a boat, and also whatever KH2 told me the plot was. ]

[selfimmolation]

I think the message was the government kind of sucks, actually, and I was okay with that part?

[unsync]

Oh, yeah, that does seem like something you'd like.

[ Based on everything he knows about Ace so far, that seems to track. ]

...

So...

You don't want to watch [ confirms title of movie ] Dreamswork: Endgame?

[selfimmolation]

I'll watch with you if you want. It can be my third movie.

[ ace becomes guy who has only seen boss baby meme ]

[unsync]

[ Me realising I spelled Dreamworks wrong after I sent this tag but you know what, it fits in with being brand-safe so this is canon now. ]

I hope it's a good movie.

[ It will be, just not in a way that he will appreciate. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ i didn't even notice we're doing amazing ]

Didn't you say it was going too far? [ but maybe it will be great let's go buy tickets :) ]

[unsync]

It does feel like a blatant cash-grab of IPs mashed together, but you never know...? There was this movie from Marvel a few years ago that people called the most ambitious cross-over ever, and it was one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.

[ THEREFORE, MAYBE IT HAS A CHANCE. Have some popcorn and a soda fountain drink, Ace. ]

[selfimmolation]

I got maybe half of what you said.

[ he's honest about it? also he does get popcorn and a soda! and also! he also gets like, a million other snacks, because infinite money ]

But I'm guessing that means it was good?

[unsync]

I don't keep up with Marvel but I thought it was pretty fun.

[ Really flashy. Just watches Ace pile up on snacks. He will be his snack mule if he wants.

They can watch this trashfire garbage of a masterpiece. ]

......

[selfimmolation]

[ munching popcorn ]

I don't recognize any of these references.

[unsync]

I don't...

[ Are these references. One-liners are being slung around at such an alarming speed that he can't keep up. Ya like jazz yet? ]

Is this a parody?

[selfimmolation]

Maybe?

[ there are at least ten different fart jokes happening possibly simultaneously ]

Are we meant to like the characters?

[unsync]

[ Jesus Christ this was a mistake. ]

They're... the poster characters. So... you... should?

[ He isn't certain. ]

People must have liked them enough if this movie was made. Oh, God. I think I'd rather hear Tama's sex jokes again.

[selfimmolation]

[ it's so bad he's kind of laughing in that disbelieving way. and also, because ryuki's wish is granted and the characters are doing weird innuendos. the bee and his love interest have bee/human children. it's horrible. ]

Be careful what you wish for.

[unsync]

[ NOOOO TO ALL OF THESE THINGS ]

I said Tama's! I don't want to hear these!

[ But like indoor voice version. ]

[selfimmolation]

Would hers be better? [ snickering. boss baby is flirting with the girl boss baby now. abort, abort. ]

[unsync]

At least hers wouldn't be with visuals on a big screen played over THX speakers.

[ Another age-gated innuendo and he feels like he should be out of here. Except he won't abandon Ace on this since he's only here because Ryuki suggested it so as long as Ace is willing to sit through and watch this trashfire then he is also stuck here. ]

I know this was my idea...

But it was a bad idea.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah, this is pretty awful. But now I've got a comparison point for what bad movies are!

[ is he trying to cheer Ryuki up with that. maybe. also after a beat and a belch joke from Shrek that lasts about 4 minutes exactly: ]

So do we have to stay for the whole thing?

[ he just doesn't know if you can walk away from movies ... he doesn't mind if it's illegal but he thinks Ryuki is big on laws so he's being polite ]

[unsync]

[ This is now what Ryuki thinks American humour is like. ]

No. We can leave whenever we want.

[ Please leave. ]
