Both. But to be fair, they're not all terrible. Not even most of them. It's just...when they're bad, they're really bad.
[Her dad is a good actor, after all, not just a pretty face. And he's passionate about it, and dedicated too--enough that it was hard not to feel a little...well, jealous sometimes. Piper didn't doubt that her father genuinely loved her, but there were plenty of times over the years (and even now) when it felt like he paid more attention to his career than his own daughter.
...But that's not important tonight. Tonight is about paying attention to Nico, and really, what better way to bond with someone than to rag on a bad movie together?]
Most of the acting isn't so bad, it's the script that's awful. I mean, Anthony Hopkins is in this one, and even he couldn't save it.
[Piper turns her attention back to the screen, munching on popcorn in silence for a few minutes before chuckling at a certain line, then reaching over to lightly tap the side of Nico's shoulder with the backs of her fingers.]
Hey, we should play a drinking game. "Take shot every time someone says some obviously made-up piece of wannabe futuristic slang."
[She's almost completely joking...but then again, they've lived through way more dangerous stuff than most people twice their age, and technically Nico is well over the legal drinking age. If he does actually want to go for it, Piper is on board.]
