Karaoke's Cinematic Offspring, Movieoke, Hits Town

[Khephra]

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Frustrated actors have a new outlet for their creative urges that until now was only available to their singing cousins -- Movieoke, Karaoke's cinematic sibling.

The brainchild of film-fanatic Anastasia Fite, Movieoke is just what it sounds like: a chance for those brave enough to take over from Robert De Niro in his "You talkin' to me?" monologue in "Taxi Driver," or to strut their stuff alongside Ben Stiller in "Zoolander."

The weekly affair takes place in the Den of Cin, a basement space below an East Village pizza parlor and video store that offers a huge selection of films to act along with.

Guests select a specific scene from a movie that is then projected onto a big screen, while a monitor in front of them shows the scene along with subtitled dialogue.

1. That's cool! I'd like to do the "I'm as mad as hell" speech from "Network"

I think I could do that speech justice!

2. Yes!

Act - Can do!

Sing - Uggh.. well, if you enjoy the sounds of a cat being strangled, my song stylings are for you...

3. Just please tell me that no one

is planning on doing The Ron Jeremy Story.

:puke:

(Barring the Hedgehog o' Love idea, this actually sounds like a lot of fun. I'm notorious for memorizing movie dialogue anyway - anyone want to hear me recite Young Frankenstein? I didn't think so.)

4. If I can do the scene where Ed Norton fights himself

in "Fight Club," that would be awesome.
