Yeah.. I posted on the forum from my Blackberry during the drop-outs but we made he best of it at the Charlotte, NC theater :D :D

We had a few dropouts as you described here in Columbia, SC.  But there was also a storm rolling through that caused us to lose the satellite feed a few times.  It was frustrating and lasted about 5 minutes at a time.  But all and all I really enjoyed the show.

Wait, it was in color? The whole show from start to finish was in black in white for us at the Marcus Cinema Crosswoods in Columbus, OH. Even the hosty bits.

That's very odd. Yes, it was in color. Mike wore a bright orange shirt. You missed out, perhaps ....

Though both Flying Stewardess and Plan 9 are supposed to be black and white movies, so perhaps you were fine.

This is the colorized version of "Plan 9", as colorized by the folks at Legend.  So it isn't supposed to be black-and-white.

The Broomfield CO AMC had two dropouts during the short that lasted a couple of seconds, and one immediately after Colton's second song.  (Guy behind me:  "The zombies got them"). Most of it looked and sounded great and I think we just lost one joke on the short

I was in Alexandria, Va. We lost about the first three-and-a-half minutes of the short, but after that I think we got everything with no problem.

We were in North Brunswick NJ. Our audio was out-of-sync from the start. The Flour & Grain Expo short was unfortunately cut off.  :'( Then the screen was blank for a minute or so after. The singer came on and everything was in-sync with the audio finally. After his second song there was a bit of break-up and it cut out. Then it came back on a bit quickly. People in our theater seemed upset, but once things got working everyone was happy.

We missed the first 5-10 seconds of the Stewardess short.  :-[ But after that it was pretty much okay. Thankfully Plan 9 played without any issues at all and everything went well. Our theater was laughing continuously and we enjoyed the show a lot.   :)

West Virginia's one and only showing.  We lost the feed for a good half an hour - tragically, it wasn't the first half hour.

So YOU were the guy, texting all the way through the show, ruining the majesty of an Edward D. Wood Jr. classic!


j/k...



When we did experience a lengthy black-out, I loudly quipped..."I bet JOEL'S behind this!"

Do you have change for a fifty?

Rockford Illinois lost most of the second half of the movie, apparently due to a major thunderstorm. Someone even tried to hit the help button that came up in the image on the screen, but - alas - it didn't work.

We had the same dropoouts as others were reporting in Rockford, IL, but in addition, we lost the sat. signal twice during Plan 9 for at least 5 minutes each, probably longer, likely due to weather. The theatre was good enough to give us a free pass for another show, but I would really like to see the parts that we missed.

Here in Honolulu, HI (the final showing in the whole country!)  we got a few short freezes and dropouts during the short but the movie went through without a hitch.

There were several short (2-3 seconds each) dropouts in the first 10 minutes at the Marcus Cinema in Oakdale, Minnesota. After that it was fine.

Just a couple of momentary glitches here in Syracuse, NY. Otherwise it was flawless, and one of the most hilarious evenings I've enjoyed in a long time! Can't wait for the next one! Life is so dull without MST3K/Rifftrax/Cinematic Titanic.

Love you guys!
