Move Over Karaoke...Hello Movieoke
cb8100 writes "Fox News is reporting about a new bar game called "Movieoke" in which participants act out scenes from their favorite movies -- karaoke style." Totally not a surprising development, but I imagine this can be quite fun. Or quite terrible depending on who's "Playing".
Apparently it's a smashing success among morbidly obese teens.

Always take the Keanu role. You'll look like a genius!
Can I bum a sig?
Well, it all depends on the scene, now doesn't it? This, for instance, might be an interesting choice . . .

Another way for drunk people to embarrass themselves.

have been doing this for years. We've come up with many creative names for it so the kids don't know what were talking about. I guess we can add movieokie to the list
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
I played movieoke once.
All was well until my friends got too drunk and suggested we perform a scene from "Debbie Does Dallas".
I have since decided it's not the game for me.
Oh! Oh! Can I be Anakin Skywalker? Even if I have to lose a hand, it'll be worth it to kiss Nataile Portman. I promiss to even do a bit of improvising, and work in the hot grits.
Early returns indicate top rentals are "Debbie Does Dallas" and "Deep Throat". What, you thought people'd pay money to pretend to be in Star Trek 3?
If all we're looking for is embarassing things to do while drunk, why don't I just piss my pants.
This place will turn into a ghost town.
You know what?
Seems to be pretty popular around here for people to try and reinact the most popular scene from the matrix; The one where Neo falls backwards dodging the incoming fire from the agent. It's not too complicated, and can be realitively easy to re-inact given you have the balance nessicary (but of course, you can't keep from hitting the ground as long as he did.. that was movie-magic->time-dilation(); )

...It was called "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
With that said, please cue up "Wrath of Khan" to the scene where Kirk was on the radio with Ricardo Montebahn...
"KHAN!!!!!!"
Oy. I need to find something more productive to do with my afternoons...
Who did what now?
It's all about marketing.
Something tells me you are the guy that is always annoying people at parties by trying to act out Frodo and Gollum fighting over the ring on Volcano mountain...
"Wow, movieoke! Now I can impress her with my knowledge of Monty Python and Star Wars..."
If brevity is the soul of wit, then how does one explain Twitter?
It's called movieoke-Okie-gnocchi-karaoke.

I know I girl I wouldnt mind acting out a scene with....;=)
Something to the effect of:
"She's lost that lovin' feeling Goose"
"No she hasn't"
"Yes, she has..."
"No... Shit, I hate it when she does that..."
.

And to bring this full circle...my usual song on karaoke nights is "Sweet Transvestite".
It's like a Mobius strip of shame.
And, the obvious question is: did the person turn out to be the gender you expected?
--Guns don't kill people, abortion clinics kill people.
"--As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
Would that be for breakfast, lunch or dinner? Would you serve him with a side salad?
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
