But he seemed like such a nice boy...
Since we had such a fabulous time watching The Motion Picture, we’ll be doing it again with everyone’s favorite waxed chest, Ricardo Montalban. The viewing will begin on Saturday, August 27th, at 2pm EST. You’ll have to provide your own copy of the film, and as with all of our reviews, we’ll be watching the original theatrical release–no director’s cut, no “remastering,” just the movie as it was presented in 1982.
I’ll be around no later than 1:30pm if you want to test out your microphone and just chat pub-style before the movie starts.
Skype is going to be the utility of choice for voice chat (text wound up too cumbersome, but it’ll be available as an option if there’s enough interest). Skype is free and works on all platforms, so sign up! Iif you don’t have a microphone but do have a regular phone and want to be part of the chat, e-mail me your phone number (torie.atkinson [at] gmail [dot] com) and I will call you so you can join us.
My name on Skype is torie.atkinson and Eugene is e.c.myers. Cover charge is a willingness to shout KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!.
And for the steel-livered, grab some aged Romulan ale and try The Khan Drinking Game:
Drink every time…
…the camera shakes to indicate a ship has been hit;
…a character feels his or her years;
…there’s a literary reference;
…KHAAAAAN!!!!!!
(Do add your own rules in the comments!)
Let us know if we should expect you!
