Karaoke old - Movieoke new
From
FOX news comes this story of Karaoke's replacement:
bq. Nobody puts Matthew Dujnic in a corner. At least, not since Movieoke (search) came to town.
bq. Dujnic, a 29-year-old computer programmer and cartoonist, is one of many film buffs who have found a stage for their inner actor now that Movieoke, the cinematic cousin of the popular barroom sing-along game karaoke, has arrived at his local watering hole.
bq. "This is what I do in my living room anyway," said Dujnic, who's performed scenes from "Zoolander," "The Breakfast Club," "Fight Club," "Reservoir Dogs" and other flicks. "I did the 'nobody puts Baby in a corner' line from 'Dirty Dancing' — and I'd never seen 'Dirty Dancing.'"
bq. Movieoke gives film lovers a chance to emulate their favorite stars, from Robert De Niro to Tom Cruise. Participants just choose a scene they want to perform, then get up on a small stage while the scene is projected onto a screen behind them.
Cute idea - simple technology, simple to do but a very clever idea and this is what will make it take off.
