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.

^^ No, I watched it (and had an odd conversation afterwards). I just didn't realise we weren't doing it tonight. tongue

Wish I was there for that convo. Hell, I wish I could play around with the Oscar Clip in FCP.

I'll be around later tonight, most likely, assuming anyone else can take initiative and host something. Things are still hectic here, and I'd have to make it to my sister's place just to get Internet, anyway.

Folks, I found a Sci-Fi/Sy Fy (whatever) original movie on Youtube. Ohohohoho.... you're all in for an ORGY OF AGONY- I mean a treat! It's one of those "nature attacks" films, this time with (surprise, surprise) sharks attacking a beach. Specifically, they're attacking Malibu Beach. Oh, and they're prehistoric sharks. Here's a trailer:

Have a good time, everyone. I leave for Youmacon after class today, so I wouldn't even be able to catch up.

Is there any chance of watching one of the movies on this list (I haven't checked YT for any of them yet)? Starcrash is on it so at least one other one must be gold.

That Japanese baseball movie sounds the most insane.

...But are we sure Alien Apocalypse isn't on You Tube?

Positive that it isn't. I checked and checked... no dice.

Yeah, it sucks, I know.

Sorry I haven't been in lately - I was hoping to join in sometime during these last two weeks, but I've been impaired by illness and other such things that get in the way of staying up late being a good idea. I'll probably be a bit of an intermittent attendee for a while yet, too.

I did, however, watch Waterworld, so I like to think I participated in spirit. :P

Ah what the hell, I guess we can watch Smiley. Unless Sean has a plan, I guess I'll host again. Here's a trailer.

I'm not gonna be in a mood to host, not until I get power back at my own place, at least.

If I was around earlier, I would've recommended Orgazmo...

Hey everyone. Just checking in after a stressful day so far. Youmacon had a fuck-up so colossal that it was the first time such a thing happened in the 8-year history of the con, and I had to take part in fixing it because nobody else would.

I found a good choice for tonight's movie folks. It happened to be on that Cracked article that Bi put up a few posts back. It's called Wild Zero. It's a batshit insane Japanese film involving aliens, zombies, and the power of rock and roll. Here's a trailer:

Oh by the way, if you get here before the movie starts there'll be some special filler.

You guys shouldn't have left so early. You missed The Stinger...

Basically, the guy without any trousers came back as Scorpion and laughed evilly for a bit.
