It Takes All Kinds . . .

Been catching up on the newest season of The Ultimate Fighter (those not in the know, it's the UFC's reality show where fighters, under the coaching of two different current UFC fighters, compete for a contract).

This guy, Marcus Brimage, kinda cracked me up when I heard this bit:

Granted, he was eliminated from the competition after he spent his preliminary fight getting the wind squeezed out of him all fight and then choked out.

But still! Dragonball Z!

He-Man Sings!

It's pretty catchy!

Movie Sign #151 - Riding With Death

What is Movie Sign?
A weekly Chat event that occurs every Sunday night wherein we watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) while joking and spamming up the Chat box. We make episodes available by whatever means so we can all watch simultaneously.

What's MST3K?
Ever watched a movie and made your own commentary to it? That's what this show is all about. MST3K is a comedy show from the '90s in which a guy and two robots are forced to watch terrible movies because a mad scientist wants to take over the world. To keep their sanity, they talk back and riff on the movies. A more detailed explanation can be found up at the SoL.

Next Episode
The ever-so mellow Agent Sam Casey is in a satellite explosion and the radiation turns him invisible. He gets a watch that keeps him visible, and he can use it to switch from visible to invisible. He is given two assignments: The first is to transport a chemical, Tripolydine, purported to be the most efficient fuel. After the cover is blown on that and Casey uncovers and stops the Tripolydine fraud, he must then stop elusive terrorist Robert Denby (Nelson) from blowing up race cars.

Whether a seasoned vet or new meat, we invite you all to come on down! Movie starts at 8pm EST/5pm PST, room opens at the :30 beforehand.

The password for the room is mellow. Guess what! Streaming! Get the whole thing here.

Wo Yao Ni De Bad Romance . . .

Alright, technically the video below is in a local Changsha dialect and not Mandarin. But still, this is probably one of the more cracked out things to come out of China lately.

And we're talkin' China, so know when I say more cracked out than usual, I really mean it:

If it helps, the top-rated comment on the video right now is saying that "gaga" in Changsha means "grandma". Probably true . . .

150...let that sink in.
Okay then.
In 1985, a strange, extraterrestrial spool is discovered, leading to a manned expedition to Venus. Did I mention they're multinational? And this is a movie from East Germany that was actually decent in its original form but got dubbed to shreds...perfect!
