MSTie Moment

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Went to Haroon’s today to stare at a couple of AWESOME HATS—and also on the off-chance that my friend the MSTie salesgirl would be there.

Unfortunately for the other customers, she was, so what ensued was an extremely squeaky fangirl session wherein we discussed the best way to see episodes that aren’t commercially available,* best host segments, how our friends and family members are concerned for us, etc..

I also invited her along to this. And it’s just occurred to me—ain’t the future great?—that, since this is a nice nationwide event, I can invite all you nerds in the US along, too!

So! August 20th—that’s a Thursday—anyone else up for a rousing theatrical production of Plan 9 From Outer Space, now with special Mike, Crow, and Servo Bill, and Kevin commentary? You bet you are. You bet I am, because I have never actually seen Plan 9, which makes me a terrible bad movie lover. It could be fun!

Or it could be, y’know, a really bad movie. But that’s the whole point, innit?

PS: There will be a short. God damn, I love me some shorts.


*MSTies have a particularly weird attitude toward copyrights. We like the show, so a lot of us want to give the Brains money for it. However, due to the complicated copyright laws involved in producing a show that consists of a bunch of other people’s movies, many of the episodes aren’t available in either syndication or on DVD. This is unacceptable, because dammit, we want to watch—and we also know that, without piracy, the show wouldn’t have gotten anywhere. So we still circulate the tapes.

I want to get a 2 Terabyte drive myself. I believe that if I were to copy all the blank CD's and DVD's I've made over the years, plus floppies and Iomegas, I could in fact, fill a 2 Terabyte drive up.
