Look at all those spiders, Zach. It really must be Halloween... but they don't look very scary, do they? They're more cute than anything.

It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been a bit busy looking around town. It's very scenic. Maybe I'll come again when I have a few days off.

It's Halloween season right now, isn't it? I was wondering, would anyone like to get together and see a few seasonal movies? I'd just watch them by myself, but that's not very easy to do here in Greenvale... so I'm looking to do it off-world, I guess. I have quite a few suggestions, if nobody else has anything better to see.

We're still late for that town meeting, though, aren't we? Emily and George wouldn't really understand if we told them we were celebrating Halloween... Oh well. We've been busy with other things too. We'll just apologise when we get there.

Are there movies about murdering badass butlers?

Do you mean killing butlers or killer butlers?

[video]

[material_guy]

I was talkin' killer butlers, but there's a whole movie genre about killing butlers, too?

[video]

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

I was just making sure.

Now, you just asked a tricky question. You know how the cliché goes, right? "The butler did it."

[video]

[material_guy]

And the butler gets away with it 'cause he's badass!

That would be an interesting twist. Don't you think so too, Zach? I wasn't done yet, though... But why don't we see where he's trying to go with this?

[material_guy]

So's Zack yer magic invisible butler?

[video]

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

Anyway, as I was saying... That's not really how the cliché goes.

[video]

[material_guy]

Right. It's always the help. I know that one. But sometimes the villain's really the star. So are there movies with really cool killer butlers? I wanna watch those!

[video]

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

Well, here's the curious thing: it's such a cliché that, for fear of alienating the audience... it has never been done in a movie.

[video]

[material_guy]

Never? Heeeeeh...

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

Amazing, don't you think?

[video]

[material_guy]

It is!

In my movie, the butler does ALL the murders!

Besides the ones the evil politician does, but those benefit the butler. So it's like the sneaky butler made it happen anyway, just usin' the rare weapon of Politician with ease!

So... Your butler is an anti-hero.

[video]

[material_guy]

Sometimes. You can't pigeon hole him. He's a master of disguise. He is whatever he wants you to think he is. He might not even be a real butler.

[video]

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

He's more like a... dashing spy, then.

[video]

[material_guy]

But that's not very scary, so we should focus on the killing for now.

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

Are you working on a horror movie?

[video]

[material_guy]

It's an everything movie, 'cause he's an everything kinda guy.


Besides an actor. He ain't an actor. Yet. He won't play his part.

I can see that being a problem...
