First: you have to be scratch resistant.
Our van floor is littered with old snack mix crumbs, magazines, drum sticks, sunflower seed shells, empty water bottles...and if you're a lonely DVD and you didn't quite make it back into your original case...chances are you're bouncing around the floor, looking for a place to sleep.
Second: if you want to be viewed...and if you're a DVD, isn't that your mission in life? you HAVE to
be funny, or at least somewhat "light".
So, other bands/people out there planning road trips across our great nation...DO NOT follow in Chris's footsteps and bring movies such as "8mm"...you will probably be thrown out the window (or into an appropriate trash receptacle...we do not condone littering!)
Third: no crazy action sequences
We do a lot of our driving at night. Extremely loud crashes, explosions and/or police sirens don't do well with people who are trying to sleep.
Lastly: you will not survive if you are a movie intended for "teens" (that is unless you were made prior to 1995)
Capturing our attention, in a van who's a/c doesn't work and heater that only warms the front can be a very difficult task...teen movie makers of our current time just can't do it.
This all may seem like a very difficult gauntlet of viewing discretion...but believe me, these viewing pleasures DO in fact exist. Be it movie, tv season, or documentary...they DO exist.
I thought about listing them, but...it would take too long, and I'm far too lazy tonight.
Feel free to post suggestions for movies we might have missed that pass the qualifications.
much love,
woody
