The second-floor common room...

River, with a stack of DVDs in her hand, slips into the common room. Might as well get some familiarity with these 80s movies before she shows them the night after tomorrow, right? She glances at the titles in her hand, then selects one, pops it into the player, and settles into a chair with the remote.

Real Genius, hmmm?

She hits play, and the strains of Carmen McRae singing fill the room.

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me! ...

"Well he's the typical ineffectual villain that we all get to laugh at when the protagonist perpetrates his wacky revenge. Standard 80's geek film standard."

"Shiny!" River looks intrigued. "So there's more like these?"

"Look for any movie in the 80's labelled comedy with Cusack or Anthony Michael Hall and you have solid gold of fun I tell ya."

"Good to know." She makes a mental note of the two names.
