Move Over Karaoke...Hello Movieoke

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hide-your-copies-of-the-holy-grail dept.

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".

    Augh, BARF!

    "Movieoke" is a linguistic monstrosity. Can we please call it something like "karaeiga" instead?

    karaoke = kara (empty) + okesutra (orchestra, from English)

    karaeiga = kara + eiga (movie)

    Seems like an appropriate name, as I'd imagine such a performance would tend to empty a theater quickly. But then again, people seem to enjoy karaoke against all reason, so maybe not.
