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.

PERCEPTO, I think that's when someone sits in an electrified seat for a long enough time that a movie starts to look like CINEMAGIC.

There's a chance I may not make it tonight, depends on how bad this upcoming storm really is.

I may have a laptop, but when it comes to storms, I'm not taking any chances.

Well, tomorrow's Kung Fu Friday, of course, and we'll be enjoying something called Dance of the Drunk Mantis, which is about some North Side vs. South Side gang rivalry, no doubt.

[up]From what I can gather, this is a direct sequel to the original Drunken Master starring Jackie Chan... which I also just happened to find on Youtube just now. Hmmm...

Oh, it exists, and it's generally our most easy-going night of the week... and I think I'm gonna go through with "calling an audible" and sub out "Drunken Master" Part 2 for Part 1

And speaking of calling audibles, we're showing the original Rollerball on Sunday. No questions, no giving a fuck about handegg.

[up]Man, that's nothing. Everything Is Terrible just publicized their personal contender for "Golden Nectar of the Gods of Holyfuckingshit!"

This is some astounding Z-movie shit right here. It's called GETEVEN, made by a trial lawyer-turned-actor/screenwriter/director/producer (or 'Ed Wood', for short), and they made a video promoting an LA screening of it. (Note: NSFW) I'd say it's definitely worth the 10 bucks this guy's asking for a DVD copy over at http://geteventhemovie.com/

EST; GMT - five hours. I'm relieved to hear that you can't just deduce that from my favorite food and my choice of literature, hahaha.

[up][up]For the record, Egregious, The thread OP is almost always up to date on what we're watching next, when we're watching it, and where it can be watched. Pre-show is roughly a half-hour before the estimated start time for the movie.
