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
A group of the titular hobgoblins arrive in a really tiny flying saucer at a movie studio in the 1950's, but their powers to make fantasies come true have tragic results and force a security guard to lock them in a film vault. 30 years later they get out, and wreak havoc on a group of teenagers.

Nerd-kus

Some nerd-kus for your enjoyment, by me, for the ThinkGeek Haiku submission contest. Wrote them over lunch:

"Red vs. Blue" (a Doctor Who-ku):
Did you notice that
The Doctor's bowtie changes
Color with the time?

"A Day in the Life of a Killbot":
Target acquired
Put me down! Please put me down!
Aah, self-test error.

"Ponyquations":
Friendship is magic
Advanced science is magic
Friendship is science?

"Your Mom versus the Super NES":
Do you remember
Neglecting your chores, she screamed,
"I'M PULLING THE PLUG!"

"Empirical Evidence Requested":
Is it possible
For you to be less awesome?
This myth is busted.

Got any nerd-ku's to share? Post them in the comments!

You're Welcome, Ladies.

For all the lady fans of Who, I now present the most random thing ever: Grant Imahara from Mythbusters... cosplaying as the Tenth Doctor.

You're welcome.
