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".

    Another way for drunk people to embarrass themselves.

      I think you mean the dumb drunk people to embarass themselves. Smart drunks just convince their friends how awesome it would be if they were up there doing it.

    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?

    At the risk of being modded Redundant because someone else happens to be typing this at the exact same time that I am, we used to do something like this every weekend at the local showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    Fun!

  5. Disney's California Adventure by bravehamster · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A couple of years ago I went to Disney's California Adventure with my fiancee. They had this sort of animation adventure house. At one area there was a setup where you could pick a scene from a disney movie and speak the lines as they came up on the screen. It would record your voice and play it back with the recordings synced up to the animation. Pretty fun actually. Mufasa, mufasa, mufasa!

  6. What we'd actually use it for... by kaden · · Score: 5, Funny

    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?

  7. Re:Doesn't sound that origonal by k2dbk · · Score: 5, Funny
    Sure it needs its own name. Think about it: You're wandering down the street, you pass the first bar, which has a sign in the window that says "Now featuring that thing where you act out a movie in front of a green screen and make a fool out of yourself" and keep walking. You pass the second bar where it says "Movioke!" and run inside.

    It's all about marketing.
