UPDATE: Saturday Night Cinema: The Room – Oct. 23 2010

0

UPDATE: Well, for one, if you happened to miss the original post, then know this: this is a thing that is happening on Saturday. In addition, for now we’re going to use Skype instead of Ventrilo. We may be switching to Ventrilo at some point in the future, so if you already downloaded it, you don’t have to yell at me saying, “OMG I wasted my precious HDD space on this!” Otherwise, just check out the original post below, and get ready for tomorrow! The actual event post will happen tomorrow.

Oh, Lisa. Lisa, Lisa, Lisa.

We here at Flixist would be remiss were we to welcome you to our site without giving you the opportunity to watch The Room with us. You requested it, and we listened. That’s why we’ll be kicking off our Saturday Night Cinema event with that terrible, wonderful piece of…something.

The Room
on DVD, download Ventrilo, make sure you have a headset, and block off a couple of hours on Saturday, because it’s on. Oh, it is so on.

What you need to know is this: Saturday Night Cinema is Flixist's group movie watching experience held right here on the interwebs. It will take different forms in the future, but the spirit is always the same: get together, watch movie, chat. It's that simple.

For this first week, we'll be watching The Room. You've probably already heard talk about this film, and maybe you've even seen it. In any case, you need to watch it together with us. Each viewing is like a new experience, and it's one that you won't forget.

We'll be starting the movie at 9pm CDT. Since we're all watching our own DVDs, we can't do anything fancier than say, "Three, two, one, press play!" but it should suffice for now. In the future, we'll be featuring films that are available for free over Hulu or streamed on Netflix Instant, so if you for any reason can't get The Room before Saturday, don't despair.

Specifics about our Ventrilo server will be posted on Saturday, but all you need to do to be prepared is download the software. We'll do the rest. You might want to show up a little early so that you're ready to go when the clock strikes nine. 

Saturday, October 23rd. 9:00pm CDT. Be there.
