[ Actually, he's 100% sure. And on the slim chance he ever forgot, all the school papers he had in his backpack the night he was taken have the date clearly written on them. He kept everything from that night, even the note the principal had written for him to take home discussing the fight Peter had gotten into earlier that day.
Some twenty-odd years later, and Peter still has a weird thing about making anything about that night concrete, even if he's slowly working past it. ]
Didn't really see much that year. We... um. We had other stuff to worry about.
[ She nods, opting not to touch on the "other stuff". She doesn't want to ruin the mood, and something about the way he says it just screams mood ruiner. ]
Oh man. You missed so much! Like Demolition Man and Jurassic Park and... shit, you got a pen and some paper??
[ He heads into the common area -- which, given the size of the ship, is merely another entryway away. He goes digging through a storage box, and if Gaige is watching, she'll see him retrieve an old, battered-looking backpack. He pulls out a notebook and pen, rips out a page, and replaces everything he doesn't need to its original place.
When he returns, placing the paper on the tabletop, the page is dog-eared and slightly yellow at the edges, but it's paper, so. ]
[ She almost asks if the paper came from the 1980's too, but then she realizes, given what she knows, that it probably did, which brings them back around to mood ruiner.
So instead she says, ]
If you want comprehensive, I might have to do some research, but Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park are definitely goin' on the top of the list.
You ever see Highlander? I think that was early eighties.
[ His grandpa (and sometimes Mom, when she was up for it) used to take him to movies a lot, try to distract him from the too-frequent visits to doctors and to hospitals. In the early days, it worked pretty well, and sometimes it was pretty fun. ]
That's the one with dudes beheading each other with swords, right? "There can be only one"? Pretty sure I've seen it.
[ He frowns, but-- well, he's trying to be more responsible and other boring shit, so he sighs. ] Essentials for now. Comprehensive when we've got time to spare.
[ He's trying to think of their schedule; aside from today, he's thinking they maybe have a day they can squeeze in for awesome movie times, so-- ]
Probably four. Five tops. And I'll let you know when we can have a seriously epic marathon when we aren't, like, trying to rid the galaxy of evil and shit.
Okay, okay. Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, The Fifth Element, Pacific Rim. That's... [ and she counts off on her fingers ] 1991, 1993, 1997, and 2013. I need somethin' in the middle there to round you off.
I'd say Serenity, but you gotta see Firefly first to get it. Hmmmm....

Hmmm. How do you feel about giant robots punching giant monsters in the face?
no subject
Do you seriously have to even ask.

Aaaand Pacific Rim goes onto the list. Maya might actually like that one- it's got a badass lady with blue hair in it.
Oh! I almost forgot about the Fifth Element!
