After too many months of getting in the habit of eating out, we have resolved to start packing lunches again (except Fridays of course). As we walked down to lunch today, I wondered where Rich was…
Me: Oh, so now that we’re eating in the cafeteria again, Rich is too good to eat with us?
George: No, he’s going to eat with his other friends.
Me: I see how it is.
George: He said he feels guilty for not eating with them as much anymore.
Me: Well they could all come and sit with us. His friends are nice enough.
George: No.
Me: (assuming he’s joking, I laugh) Oh wait — you’re serious? No?
George: Yeah, I’m serious. They always talk about politics or religion and get into deep debates and arguments. It’s annoying. I don’t want to talk about serious stuff at lunch.
Later as we sit enjoying our food and chatting…
Me: So this movie called Silent Hill is coming out in the spring and there’s a contest for it. You design the movie poster and if you win, it gets printed and put on display in theaters.
Matt: Don’t you need to know what the movie is about before you make a poster?
Me: It’s a horror movie. Duh. Can’t you tell from the name?
Matt: No. Silent Hill? That could be anything! It could be a war movie, or a chick flick, or anything.
Bini: I dunno, it sounds like a horror movie title.
Me: Yeah, I mean, if it were a war movie it would be Bloody Hill. Sci-fi, you know, Alien Hill. A chick flick would have to be Running-Through-The-Wildflowers Hill…
George: (laughing) See? This is a lunch conversation.
Oh, I’m glad we’re eating in the cafe again. Too much eating out. Of course, I seem to be only eating lunch like once a week at the current rate. Surely that will change when I get out of class. Yeah for the end of class!
Funnily enough, I had a short conversation about robot deer with a guy from my grand jury at lunch. Didn’t think that would ever come up in a conversation that didn’t inculde Matt.
You do know Silent Hill is a video game (that the movie is based on), right?
Of course I DIDN’T know that. There’s a horror movie based on a video game? Or is it not horror?
And horror wins it!
From IMDB:
“Plot Summary for
Silent Hill (2006)
Rose cannot accept the knowledge that her daughter Sharon is dying of a fatal disease. Over the protests of her husband, she flees with her child, intending to take the girl to a faith healer. On the way, she ends up driving through a portal in reality, which takes her to the eerie and deserted town of Silent Hill. Sharon disappears in Silent Hill, and Rose follows what she thinks is her daughter’s silhouette all over town. It’s soon clear the town is not like any place she’s ever been. It’s inhabited by a variety of creatures and a living darkness that descends and literally transforms everything it touches. The human inhabitants – the ones who are left – are trapped and fighting a losing battle against the Darkness. Joined by a cop named Cybil, who has been sent to bring her and Sharon back, Rose searches for her little girl while learning the history of Silent Hill and that Sharon is just a pawn in a larger game. To save her daughter, Rose makes a deal with a demon in the form of a little girl…..”
