Happy Birthday Peter!!!

For the 3rd year in a row Peter is turning 25, and for this glorious occasion, we decided to roast him! And no we will not talk about how he likes in his alone time to wear a blonde wig and sing Poker Face, but we will share our best stories about the Petster and movies…

I’ll let Joe finish him; however, we’ll start with a bang by revealing that the apostle of indie movie and detractor of big hollywood movies, in his fact a sucker for the geekiest ones…

Let’s start by talking about that one time when after a long morning shoot of special effects where Peter showed his Eraser Head signature haircut, he and the guys there convinced me to trade a lovely afternoon with my beloved girlfriend to go see Star Trek Nemesis… Peter has every Star Trek movie on DVD, and even if I have to admit that he didn’t take part on the “what quadrant have they discovered yet” or he wasn’t standing in tears when the robot died, he still enjoyed the movie a lot…

To go back on the geeky part and not to piss off the other fanboys, I have to say that Peter, Joe and I went to see Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones on opening day… and even if it’s Joe who brought his toys collection, it’s Peter who was playing with the action figures…

But I’m not making fun of Peter to hurt him, Peter is a very cool guy that would not let a brother down, or shall I say would not leave a buddy sleeping in a car… After a long night of playing video games leading to the screening of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers at the fanciest Seattle movie theater (ah College, I miss thy)… While waiting in line one of our fellows fell asleep in the car and as we all said to let the poor dude sleep in peace, Peter insisted to wake him up and drag him to the movie… where the fella fell asleep…

Joe is taking over…

I’m sure you remember when he made us watch The Last Starfighter, at your apartment. An interesting choice for a bunch of grown up guys in their 20’s. He’s convinced to this day that it’s one of the best movies ever.

Another funny thing about Peter is that he sleeps with a DVD playing on repeat in his room, a fact you’ll become well aware of if you ever crash at his place. It’s all well and good if the movie is something quiet like A River Runs Through It, but one night Frenchie and I were subjected to that epic space opera, The Wrath of Khan, played on repeat the entire night. Every couple of hours we were awakened by the voice of Shatner bellowing “Khaaan!” out into the depths of space and to the futon I was trying to sleep in.
