Our Next Feature Presentation: The Stuff (10/12)

Join Us Saturday, October 12th @ ~8:00PM (US/EDT) Here: http://cytu.be/r/TroperCoven


For the uninitiated... A contingent of tropers (mostly from across America) holds regular get-togethers over the Interwebs on this site called Synchtube which lets individuals, such as ourselves, open and join in text-based chatrooms within typical web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, et. al.) that allow the chat participants to view YouTube videos in synchronization with everyone else present (without even needing to set up an account)... and we've decided to use said chatrooms to play cheeseball webvideos and feature-length movies found in the public domain which stretch all the way from letters B to Z, which everyone subsequently riffs on a la MST3K.

For over EIGHT years, everybody who gets involved mostly finds good enjoymentnote  in calling out tropes that are recognized in the videos and stories and coming up with jokes to fling back at whatever's happening on the screen, many of which turn into various in-jokes and running gags (a Coven Glossary is kept and maintained for everyone's help and convenience HERE) to repeat in the chat.

We're always looking for new ways to better coordinate and expand our activities and are more than happy to welcome newcomers interested in joining our gatherings.

I may or may not make it tonight. I'm still waiting to hear from the repair shop (my PC went on the bench this morning).

Also, I won't be here Christmas eve, since I'm visiting my grandparents....

EDIT: Yep, tomorrow morning's when I'm getting it back. v_v

Tried to hop in late, but it said that I was banned, then it kept saying try again. Is this a site issue, or have the Mayans put an ancient curse on me due to my chronic tardiness? surprised

Dammit, the ban should've been lifted. Fortunately, Synchtube bans aren't permanent, anyway, so if you can't get in tonight, it'll probably be okay by tomorrow. Again, I'm really sorry for getting ahead of myself. Unnamed is just getting a really bad rep with us lately.

Anyway, time to take a break from all the blood and violence. Tomorrow we're watching Ernest Saves Christmas. Ho Ho Ho, Vern!

How was the movie? Sorry, I couldn't make it.

It was pretty much an exact repeat of the day before. I'll tell ya, watching TWO surreal horror flicks about AWFUL wise-cracking mutant killer snowmen back-to-back is pretty exhausting. I'm utterly sick of every single individual detail that I mentioned in the previous sentence right now.

I don't even want to consider Santa's Slay as a viewing option for the remainder of the Christmas season.

It broke my stupid detector. Overloaded it so completely that I didn't even get a "ping" when I pointed it at Jersey Shore. It's going to take weeks to get that thing fixed.

[up][up]But... Lousy comedy! Dumb gore! CHRISTMAS HORROR!

Along with Silent Night Deadly Night, Santa's Slay would mark our fourth film to fit that mold in just six days. It's getting to be monotonous.

Yeah, after seeing a snowman pull off stuff that would make a Mortal Kombat character smile, and take notes...

Seeing Ernest would be a change of pace.

Assuming the restore completes and I can reinstall everything within the next hour and a half, I should be able to make it tonight. =3

Ugrh, for some reason my computer decompressed my backup to my backup HDD instead of my computer's. This is going to take a few more hours to sort out so looks like I won't be able to make it tonight after all.

Well, I'm not showcasing another Christmas horror movie... Not even Silent Night Deadly Night, Part 2.

Tomorrow, we're watching Babes in Toyland (1986)

Can Drew Barrymore and Keanu Reeves lead the toy soldiers of Toyland to military triumph over the pedophile Barnaby and his evil Christmas trees??? FIND OUT!
