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
Been thinking we lack jazz musicians in our movies? Well contemplate no more! In Tormented, two-timing jazz pianist Tom Stewart decides to dump his mistress Vi - from the top of a lighthouse, actually, and by accident, sort of. Vi proceeds to pull an Otaku Mushi and haunts Tom as he prepares for his wedding to his fiancé Meg. There's blackmail and the plotting of murder on small children, which is a combination that...can't be beat...?
Host Segment Highlights
Servo and Crow have a really awesome fort in the ventilation shaft! No humans allowed and it's just really cool - except when Servo has to go to the bathroom. Do you keep on forgetting who your relatives are? Joel's got you covered with the Aunt Catherine Wheel, a See-and-Say to help you remember. Later, the bejumpsuited one gets stuck in the ceiling and is blackmailed by the 'bots. But that's not enough, as their disembodied heads later insist that Joel Robinson killed them~! And if you're feeling down and desperate, they've got a song to lift your spirits.
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 lighthouse. Be ready to go and find the playlist here.

Today is the day that Light Yagami died in the Death Note universe. With regards to that, here are his last moments to the tune of "Yesterday" by The Beatles.
Other tributes in the site can be seen through these four theOtaku cards, these two fanarts, and this invitation for a eulogy to Light. You can also view this other great AMV to the tune of "Sound of Silence".
Rest in peace, Light Yagami.
This is kinda cool its a movie called Holly's Story and Vic is great I thought the fangirls would get a kick out of it.
Quite honestly, I would like Fasterisk to obtain one of these so he can around to people and ask, "Would you like to see a picture of my dad?"
