The HDC Movie Theater
 

Well, with MissMacabre's streamings of Coffin Joe films drawing to a close, I have been planning to do some from my own stuff. We have had stutters and starts for such a project before (Return should remember), and let's see if we can pick it up again.

As I had mentioned before, I am thinking weekends for now. Saturday nights and Sundays are the only days I have some time to myself, and the speed of my DSL is pretty decent for live streaming during the weekends, when it is not down.

Timings - nights my time will be Noon/Afternoon EST your time. (I am nine and half hours ahead of EST time, so that should help you all with the calculations)

Here's the page - http://www.livestream.com/ravenavi

I was initially planning to start off with the 80s cult classic - Alone In The Dark, because I think some of you haven't seen it yet. But I am open to last-minute suggestions. Others I have been thinking of are - Chopping Mall, Spoorloos, The Burning, The Legend of Hell House, etc. We can do classic horror too, if enough are interested.

The timings for the first show - Noon EST today. How does that sound?

Hotel Hell!

Damn right I'm up for this. God knows its been a long time coming, heh.

My schedule for the summer is stupidly busy, but I'll try to be around for this as much as possible. Haven't seen any of the suggested flicks, so I'm good with any of 'em.

Cant wait!

Motel Hell is better...

Knew this would make your mouth water. :D

It's on for tonight then. Right after the Germany - England match is over.

9 30 PM my time...Noon EST for all of you.

That is...1 hour and 42 minutes from now.

Deep apologies for the unnecessary delay due to some technicalities which I needed some time to understand fully first. Oops...

We start in about a minute. If you are online, click on the link above ^.

Ladies and Gents...

Welcome to the HDC Movie Theater. Sit back with some popcorn and beer and enjoy the show.

The first screening in the HDC Theater (I am thinking of a name for it - How does "Horry" sound), will be...

Nobody came on except me so I stopped it after about 20 minutes.

Marley popped in for a brief moment to say hi, and went off just when I was loading it back.

Guess today's showing stands cancelled for a more appropriate time. Let's see if I can get some of you to zero in on an appropriate time.

I would love to attend these, but with my internet connection I can't stream video,download,upload...etc unless its between 2-7am,(its satellite internet btw) I would attend if my internet wasn't a problem.

I linked in about five minutes ago and saw it was offline. Timing is always going to be tricky when a dozen timezones are involved!

I think this is an excellent idea, and the time is pretty good for me. But I actually just ordered Alone in the Dark a few days ago from Amazon :p (I haven't seen it yet).

Would be there for Chopping Mall though, another I haven't seen and hesitate to buy. Seen the others, but definitely wouldn't mind seeing them again.

Oh, wow - I suck. If I had checked HDC earlier and seen this, I would have been on board... Hopefully I can make the next one - And all of your suggestions sound great. I haven't seen any of them. :o

Oh sweet, sounds fun, I'll definitely try to clear up some weekend time next time.

Pardon me for my inconvenience of knowledge...please tell me how does this streaming show theater works? Do we need to be online at the same time?...Are you going to upload the whole film?

Cause I'm eagerly waiting to see The Legend of Hell House & Spoorloos. Please V, if the format suits me then try to set up the screening time for particularly this 2 films in any Thursday night (like around after 10 PM Indian time;)).

Sounds great. Will just have to work out what time this would be in Australia. If the time is reasonable I will join in.

It would be good to have a chat going on during the movie. Either an IRC channel or a voice chat (eg a Ventrillo server).

Yep. I ll need to post the timings in all your local times. Let's see if the World Clock will help. :)

You can still watch it. Bet you are gonna like it so much you will have a re-watch once you get the dvd from Amazon.

Hopefully a popsicle or a lollipop. :p

No worries. Think I ve got it all sorted for the second showing next weekend.

Livestream basically streams whatever film you are playing on your computer desktop. Of course you have to have fullscreen enabled or everyone else will be seeing half of your desktop stuff and half of the windowed film.

Yes, all who want to watch it have to be online at the same time, and logged into the page I posted in the first post - http://www.livestream.com/ravenavi

It has a chat section where you can log in and join the others in watching the film and discussing it with your chat buddies.

I tried uploading but it is taking a hell of a long time. Better to stream it live from my desktop right into the page, where you all can see it live.

I ll see if I can fit any coming Thursday sometime. If its a holiday, you are in luck.

Yep like I said, a World Clock should help me next weekend I plan a screening. Will try to post the timings in your local times the best I can.

There is a chatroom in Livestream, on the right of the Applet which streams the film. You can log into there and join the rest of us.


Next weekend, folks. Hopefully.

Looks like I won't make it this Saturday either because I just got a gig dressing as Wonder Woman at my friend's comic book store for publicity shots etc.

But Wednesday Coffin Joe is a go, and I will make it next next Saturday for sure.

Some great choices for films in there. My shitty internet connection and the time difference will probably count me out. I've got a stack of DVDs I've got to review too... but we'll see :D

Love to get in on this, but I work really funky hours right now. I'm closing at the store most of the time, which means I'm not home til after midnight most nights.
My days off are always different too. But, if one coincides with a screening, I'll be there.
