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.

Not that I mind, but why is Rocky Horror forbidden?
Also, I remember thinking we should add some lower-budget Bollywood to the list. :P

I heard it was something to do with copyright problems making it hard to find on Youtube.

Until further notice
Bollywood is always a good idea.

Mostly because it has already been watched to death everywhere else, and if we allowed it to be a viewing option, there will always be somebody out there who would insist on that one option.
And I wouldn't rule out Bollywood fare, but you gotta at least give me specific titles to be looking for (preferably with English dubbing). For a long time going, I've been on a hunt for a Bollywood remake of Fight Club that barely even resembles Fight Club, but it's been a bitch trying to find a copy without horrendously fucked up audio.

I'll have to go looking for some, then. :)
Wow, who knew anarcho-primitivism was a superpower?

Won't be able to make it tonight due to anime club.

Probably not going to make it due to my grandparent's 50th anniversary party. *grumbles*
Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms: speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.
Been doing a bit of research into feature-length Bollywood fare on Youtube.
My initial discoveries are that nearly every one of them is over 2 hours long (many are as long as 2 and a half hours), and they're all in Hindi and without English subtitles. 90-minute Hindi action films are rare, and ones with English dubbing/subtitles must be even rarer.

Entries that make you go LOL has found something intriguing.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I was JUST about to post that. *grumble grumble grumble*
I can try to upload that to Youtube sometime and see what happens.
Anyway, Sunday night, all I can promise is The Killing of Satan... and some other strange stuff...

Quiet day today, so far. Anybody looking forward to tonight?
Not especially, but I'm not dreading it.

I have a nice buzz from drinking a large glass of mead while watching the BAFT As. I'll probably enjoy anything short of Food Fight.

GROWWWWWWL
I would love to join Synchtube, I am Australian though, so different time zones and whatnot. I love MST 3 K and that kinda thing, I make weird commentary anyway while watching movies. c:
MISSED ME?!?!
Time zones are gonna be a hassle for most nights (days), but at least there's always boring/rainy Saturday afternoons (which are Kung Fu Friday for the rest of us).
Anyway, Monday night, "in the tradition of E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind," comes a family film that rhymes with "Dookie"...

Despite what I said last night, I might be able to make it after all (turns out my meeting's in the afternoon, so I've got time for the coffee to kick in).

This is a list of movies people have found that out there we'd consider watching, or if we're ever desperately in need of having something to watch on the fly, if only for their ridiculous titles. This is not a guarantee that we may ever watch any particular movie, but if you happen to know of or find anything longer than 40 minutes that suits our interests, feel free to let us know, and we'll keep note of it here.
