What is the Watercooler?
It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.
All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

I still need to see this movie. However, redoing the trailer a capella makes for fun times in the meantime:
Also, I find it rather heartening to think that Leonardo DiCaprio was once a teen heartthrob, and now he's a legit badass actor by his own means. I love legitimacy.
I also love it when people go "BRRRAAAAAAAAAWWWW!!!".
This is from my college homework in English 2 back when I was still a freshman.
Who says you can't use anime for homework and get an excellent score?
What is Movie Sign?
Every Sunday night, we nestle down in Chat and watch an episode of the cult TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) while spamming up the Chat box. Don't worry - we use episodes available on streaming sites so that we can all watch simultaneously.
What's MST3K?
A comedy show that ran from 1988-1999, it's like watching a movie with running commentary. Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, along with 'bots Tom Servo and Crow, are forced to watch terrible films as part of a mad scientist's bid for world domination. To keep their (and our) sanity, they talk back to the movies and riff on them. A more detailed explanation can be found up at the SoL.
Next Episode
Biker gangs strike us again, and this time, they're causing havoc by smuggling Mexican drugs across the border.When they discover a detective on their tail, their leader orders him killed - but they don't count on that biting them in butt and a traitor in the group.
Host Segment Highlights
Warning! This episode is heavily dosed with flashbacks!
Servo flashes back to a point when his voice hasn't changed, and recalls acting as Shatner...
Crow remembers a time most of us would rather forget, the zero gravity humor lesson from Rocketship-XM...
And Joel recalls messing with Cambot to give him binocular effects.
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 flashback. There's reason to be happy too, because this week we've got the full video!
September Movie Sign keeps on going with...
9/19 - Epsiode 614 - San Francisco International
9/26 - Episode 401 - Space Travelers
I interrupt this rather lackluster week at the Watercooler to give you Crow singing "It's A Long Way To Tipperary", except in German.
