As for Opera, I'm on Skype right now (my status shows "busy" or whatever but that's because I have other contacts I'm trying to avoid, because they're annoying ).  I've already called my kid today so I have the rest of the night open.

Also, the impromptu nights are my new home. I have found so many amazing new films, through you and Lon, and now Lee, and I have a blast watching stuff with you all. Here's to many more of them next year xxx Oh, and I'll be around a bit later on for Opera, if anyone else is. I'm just baking with my Gran!

We saw you pop in briefly Wolfy, but you popped out before we could say "Hi."  Like I said, it wasn't the smoothest night we've had,   Dude, if I had a transporter, I'd rent a ballroom at a fancy hotel or a nice theatre and beam you all there.  My over/under until the police are called is 51 minutes.  And I'd have all the Brits talk to them to totally confuse them!  ("Hey, Bob, what is 'bollocks aluminiumumum?' ")

We might be doing something a bit different in January.  Ace came up with this idea of killer car movies.  We'll call it "Cars Gone Wild."  And then of course we have Valentine's Day in February.

Wasn't on Skype cause for some reason, my computer doesn't like it and won't make it work but I still enjoyed the flicks.

Participants-
Azzy
Lon

Vas
UV (and her beau for a while)
Ace

Movies-
Apparently Gremlins had all kinds of problems (I had to pick up Vampy from work).

Christmas Evil wasn't a big hit.

Winterbeast was a total laugh fest, especially when we turned the captions on.  They read like a drunken monkey typed stuff and then ran it through 12 languages on BabelFish.  But the plaid, whew, lots of plaid.  And a crazy dancing guy and bad stop-motion monsters.

To All a Goodnight was alright, though people had problems with that one, too.  Which is OK, since its plot was Santa-person kills people.  Also, some whacked out girl kept dancing around as people were killed right in front of her.  And some dude slept under an airplane.

Then Ace offered up Fortres (1986), a rather well done Australian film.  Some crazy guys kidnap a teacher (Rachel Ward) and her students for ransom.  Even though they seem to all live out in the middle of nowhere farms.  Takes a while to gain steam, but delivers.

So thanks for everyone that came out, problems and all.  Not my best showing, but I think we mostly had a good time.  And there were some really interesting side conversations going on.  And nope, I'm not telling you the anal lube story.

Until next year,
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Also, I had to drive Vamps to work today, which means I have to pick her up.  I don't know if I'll be back by 5, so someone may have to do the countdown.

I'm putting up a new Skype convo-
HM Christmas 2012

I added all the regulars already.

Also, don't know if I'll be recording this Night.  Ziggy is showing his age, and I don't know if he's up for it.  We'll see what happens.  Anyhoo, see you all tomorrow, since it looks like we're not going to be swallowed by a black hole.

Only Gremlins link I could find.  Solar link.  I'm not sure if this is a legal one, so you may want to look somewhere else.  We do not condone illegal copyright theft, so since I cannot confirm this link, I can't say use this one.  Sorry guys, .

Christmas Evil, aka You Better Watch Out, (1980)  IMDB link
And I can't find anything for this one.  If no one can find this, we may have to mix stuff up and figure it out on the fly.

Winterbeast (1991)  IMDB link.
Finally, a Youtube link for a movie!  That's the only one I could find.

To All a Goodnight  (1980)  IMDB link
And another YouTube link.

Well, 3 of 4 isn't too bad?
