Bad Zombie Night

Hangout & Chat here before tonight's film... Let us know if you plan to be with us tonight or not.
Movie Watching Tips:
In trying to get everyone synchronized so that we all get our DVD/VCR players going at roughly the same time, I suggest that everyone open this link, and click on the appropriate time zone: The U.S. Official Time (http://www.time.gov/) (http://www.time.gov/)... This Java applet clock is independent of your computer's internal clock, and is updated by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) & USNO (United States Naval Observatory) to provide you with the most accurate time... You can either open a separate window or tab, and then close it once the movie starts.
Please Note: If the Applet should happen to freeze up on you, just click on browser 'Refresh' and it should start working again.
Another thing to consider is at which part of the DVD track do you begin playing the movie?... I've already examined the 30 Days of Night DVD, and the best place to begin playing the movie would be after the FBI, and Copyright announcements on the main DVD file track... A simpler way to queue up the movie is to go to the DVD main menu, and select 'Scenes.' Next, select (or Play) Scene number '1', and quickly then press 'pause' on your remote... Doing this will assure that you don't lag behind the rest of the group by getting stuck watching those movie trailers or those previously mentioned FBI/copyright warnings. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/1bnz_smiley.gif
