Monkey Island: The Movie... this is not

[Jake]

... But it is a movie about Monkey Island! And, wow... Fanboy of the year award goes to these guys big time!

I saw it on the Scumm Bar a few days ago but forgot about it until just now. Its so scary, but is also kinda good... I think? Eep.

Also: keyboard control is the future

This movie is great!!!!! I agree though about it being scary too. Maybe they should make an interactive version where the viewer can chose the words. :)

I want to see this. What exactly are we looking at here? Is it a movie? game? mp3?? mp4?

It won't download for me. Are there mirrors! This is killing me! We want to see!

[DustCropper]

Could someone tell me what program runs an mp4 file? I tried Realplayer and Windows Media, neither work.

Thanks!

[Jake]

I think Quicktime 6.anything and WMP Extremely New.anything should play the video correctly....

[eriq]

um. whoa. I just watched it.

how... interesting.

[Kode]

It's been fun the whole time :D

[zarathustrian]

Interesting. I could have done without the gun blasting the guys away at the end though. Not because I'm anti-violence or some such--I just don't think it's all that original.

[Tanukitsune]

:eek:
What in Offler's name was that?
Sweet Mother of Mothra! I didn't know us fanboys had our own "theme song"? :confused:

[Deshrill]

Wow... I really don't know how to react to that clip.

The acting wasn't terrible, although the audio on the looping music clip was a bit too loud, making it hard to hear the vocals.

I agree with Zarathustrian that the ending was a bit weak... Still, the song manages to describe some friends of mine pretty well (and me to a certain extent, although I'm not that obsessed anymore... really?!?).

[Kolzig]

The ending was a bit weird, but otherwise it was goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodddddd!! :D

[remixor]

Ha ha ha...heh...er. Hm.

Definitely worth watching. Also definitely bizarre.

[Marek]

Gold. Pure gold.

[eriq]

Ha ha ha...heh...er. Hm.

Definitely worth watching. Also definitely bizarre.
that's the word I was looking for. Bizarre. Definetely. It was... bizarre. BEYOND BIZARRE. <--- have you seen that show on tv with the host that says "BEEEYOOOND BIZAARRRRRE" in a really creepy alfred hitchcock-like voice? ;)

[Sonny-Bonds]

That was pretty great.

Funniest thing I've seen online for a while.

[michael1123]

Hahaha, awesome. I agree about the ending, but the concept of the video as a whole is hilarious.

[Erwin_Br]

Hehe, that was funny. The first few seconds I wondered what this had to do with MI, and then they started singing and 'dancing'.

Hilarious.

What the hell was that ?

[lakerz]

Damn, I laughed my ass off watching this. Funny stuff!

[DomStLeger]

Bizarre to say the least...

[peb]

I thought the straight man was really good. I bet these guys are going to regret doing this in the future though...if they didn't already regret it the morning after.

[RemiO]

Judging by the comment they left in the news post (http://www.scummbar.com/index.php?newssniffer=readcomment&news=558) I'll venture to guess that they don't regret it. ;

[Kingzjester]

UT address... I hope they are at Austin... Or anywhere else for that matter except here. I would rather not be associated with geeks of that magnitude. I am hardly associated with my closest friends. Any evidence you may have to the contrary is libel... Dear god, what a bunch of boobs... The middle guy with that apt dorky do should've been shot... er... I mean, he should've been shot first. It is painful how horrible he acts. I could've done better, but then again, people think I am an actor so I guess I am a tad too theatrical in real life to pull off any sort of pretending to be at ease naturally... Damn, I should've thought of this first. But then again, I don't tolerate anime and I don't play video games.
