How Was SFSketchFest/Best of RiffTrax? I managed to go to the Manos screening. Due to an awful movie (one of the Wayans brothers spoofing the Paranormal Activity franchise—I walked in during what seemed to be the guy being jealous as he watched someone loudly having sex with a ghost; not being interested in watching this moment with Dad, we turned and left, opting to stay in the hall until it finished) running too long, Rifftrax wouldn’t have had time for the trivia/joke cards at the start. So the manager let everyone vote—we decided even if it went overly long, we wanted it. Things were fine, until midway through one of the shorts—the power in the whole theater went out. 5-10 minutes later, it came back, and we started where we left off. Someone that had been there for the previous showing (and its interruption by tornado and power outage) said it had happened at that same point, too. The manager (who also personally went in and cleaned up after the previous viewing of that movie) came in and apologized.

Unfortunately, the heat didn’t come back on. Instead, about 20 minutes before the end, the air conditioning was going full blast—so I had my coat on. Got out around 9:45 PM, and made it home shortly before the sleet (which the Weather Channel has dubbed Winter Storm Khan—feel free to insert your own Kirk scream here) started. Outside of all of that, I have to say it was great.

Dreamwidth is allowing account creation without an invite code for the rest of the year. If anyone wants to find me over there, my username is the same there as it is here. I just don’t cross-post all that often, save when LJ’s down. When it comes to LJ’s alterations, the larger font style will take some getting used to. I rarely used subject lines in comments, outside of Yuletide, certain memes, and the occasional auction. I can see the icon selection bit being a problem for those on dial-up. The part where you can make everything go to unthreaded at the same time is good. I like the bit where it tells what comments are new since you last visited.

ETA: The tags being moved to the bottom of the page will also take some getting used to.

I went back into my Yuletide sign-up a little while ago, and in the Bucket List tacked on Clue (1985). I debated whether or not to throw in Snow White And The Huntsman since we’ve only got a trailer and nothing else until 2012, before deciding to add it. As a reminder for anyone planning to sign-up, Yuletide sign-ups close Sunday, at 7 PM CST. I predict at least one more bout of editing for me before they close, since that’s how things go.
