New Year's Festivistities

For New Year's Eve, I went to a party at Mr B------'s house. We had some drinketies and I watched the others play video games until it was determined that that was sort of BORing.

The party travelled upstairs and we watched Big Trouble in Little China, a true cinematic masterpiece wherein Kurt Russell seems to play John Wayne trapped in a kung fu movie, except that he never really does anything. His sidekick's fiancé (with "eyes like creamy jade") gets kidnapped, but he finally gets involved when his beloved truck gets stolen as well.

We watched the ball drop, drank faux-champagne ("sprankling wine", if you are me and can't speak English) then headed downstairs for more Karaoke Revolution, where I proceeded to... not win. Or maybe I did. We played several rounds and drank several drinks, so it's hard to tell now who won and who didn't, but I think we can all agree that the big winner was Admiral Ackbar.

It was 'sprankling spider.'

Yars, but it wasn't cider, was it? (I almost wrote "spider". What's wrong with me???!)

Now I get the reference. That movie should have been on MST3K. If they ever revive the show, I'm going to suggest it.

I have never played (nor seen played) Karaoke Revolution. How can Karaoke be a game???

It comes with a microphone and you get points for singing on key.

It's a trap!

I think BTiLC was a little too self-conscious to really fit in with MST3K... that show only worked well with the very serious bad movies. BTW, Jack Burton's truck is called "The Porkchop Express!"
