Karaoke Movie
When you and your friends know a movie all too well. | |
A movie (probably on DVD, but I'm sure I'm behind the times) with sound effects and music, but no voices.
Advanced versions would let a user remove the dialog of only certain characters.

I think it would be better to make a movie about the life of a karaoke singer and the hard knocks of life on the karaoke circuit. You could even have a final scene where he sings some moving song -- and doesn't mess up most of the lyrics. |

My Girlfiend and I are sad enough to have done this already....Choose the soundtrack music only option on some DVDs (E.G. Blade and Matrix) and you get no dialogue but still get the music. Still no sound affectes though. We sat through the whole of Blade doing this the other day...sad, so sad. We have no lives. |

There's been a karaoke movie in theaters for years. It's called "Rocky Horror." |
|
| |
If it were a musical, I think I'd prefer to have the original dialog with the karaoke part for the songs. Then the whole family could divvy up the parts and Uncle Norman's voice could be coming out of Julie Andrews' rosebud mouth. Lots of hoots there. |
|
| |
You can do this on the Region 4 version of Pulp Fiction, as there is an isolated music/sound effects track. |
|
| |
Unfortunately, someone thought it was a good idea not to bother with subtitles, so it would be recommended to have the script around to get the "Ezekiel" speech correct. |
|
| |
I just added a link for Duets an actual movie about Karaoke. I love the snippet in the Plot Outline section, "A professional karaoke hustler reconnects with his daughter and a bored suburban businessman turns outlaw karaoke singer..." |
|
| |
Professional Karaoke Hustler? Who would have guessed such a thing existed? |

Have you tried turning on your TV's "Closed Caption" (or local equivalent) decoder? At least in the U.S. even DVD's which don't have subtitles are often closed-captioned; I don't know whether U.K. DVD's do likewise (teletext channel 888 or whatever)? |
|
| |
According to the Official DVD FAQ, PAL teletext closed captions are not support on DVD. Assuming because the captions are carried on the teletext stream rather than encoded into the video signal. |
|
| |
Always wondered why that rental VHS copy of Cruel Intentions had a closed captioned symbol on the back. |
|
| |
Some films have a reputation for being so treacly (such as the Sound of Music--yecch!), they might invite people to come up with their own obscene lyrics. Theater owners might come up with contests to see who could do the most outrageous lyrics--sort of a cinema version of the now-defunct Dysfunctional Family Circus website. That could be lots of fun. |

karaoke is the great equilizer |

+ I can't believe it's not baked. (butter). |
|
| |
Say hello to my little friend! |
|
| |
It's also been baked by some bars in the US (and one in Edinburgh, I think) - you can act out popular scenes from movies (see link). |
|
| |
Oh! You know what would be really fun? Comming up with alternate words or voices that change the meaning of the scene in humorous ways. Sort of like some of the scenes in "Rock Horror" where the crowd says things inbetween the actors dialog that changes the meaning of what they say. [+] |
