okay, "Straight to Hell" is simply the most amazing movie ever made, full of intertwining subplots, biting social commentary, and, as the jacket states, is "a story of blood, money, guns, coffee, and sexual tension" - but what else could we expect from the people who brought us "Sid and Nancy" and "Repo Man?"
There's several different variations on play, and all three will get you wasted
at about the same rate (the first method has an edge if you're drinking hard
alcohol).
First, get friends, booze, and a copy of Straight to Hell in the same place at the same
time. Choose 'a,' 'b,' or 'c' below and start the movie.
a) drink as much as possible as quickly as possible without throwing up, being hospitalised, or dying. these qualifiers are very important.
b) drink upon an exhibition of blood, money, guns, coffee, and/or sexual tension
c) drink upon an occurence from the list below
Not to be too formal --Straight to Hell doesn't lend itself to formality-- but
we need some definitions:
EXHIBITION: demonstrated upon the screen, heard as a sound effect, spoken, implied or otherwise
referred to...this can lead to some rather tenuous conclusions based off of
some intricate chains of logic, which is, of course, in the nature of the movie.
The more tenuous the conclusion and more intricate the chain the better -
it just has to be demonstrable.
example: Billy, miffed at being dissed for his poetry, takes it out
on the weiner guy.
If there are multiple exhibitions in evidence at the same time, respect to the
movie demands a drink per item exhibited.
example:when Willy runs out of ammo, drink per pistol as well as any
other drinking qualifiers in evidence at that time.
example:when a skull appears in the scene when the McMahon clan is singing
while arranged as in The Last Supper, drink three times - once for the skull,
once for the obscure religious reference, and once because the McMahon clan
is singing _as a clan_...of course, if you want to drink for each person
singing on the screen, we won't stop you...although the people you're playing
with probably should.
DRINK: a sip, swallow, whatever of your beverage-of-choice. For your safety as well
as the safety of those around you, shots from a bottle should probably be
avoided. Since we're talking about safety, one other thing - firearms in near
proximity and/or on one's person should
be checked and cleared at the door, those little zip ties work great for
keeping the chamber open.
yeah, some of the rules contradict each other. work around it or work with it -
rationalization and fallacious logic is the name of the game here. you might
also agree to play only with certain rules unless you've got the tolerance of
a Russian sailor.
play safe.
