Does anyone know the name/contact info of the camp/movie theater on the esplanade at about 8:00? I am trying to find out the name of "Titanic" parody movie they showed that featured finger people and animatiion.

If you're talking about the split screen white tent next to Snowflake Village... the camp was Videogasm. I know of 3 people who stayed there. I'll let them know about your post so hopefully you can connect.

I don't know anything about the theatre, but the description of the movie sounds like "Thumbtanic". If it had a giant spider attack, that was the movie. I saw it on a DVD as a double feature with "Thumb Wars". From what I hear, it started life as a web movie. (A friend of mine and I rented the DVD on an impulse, so it shouldn't be all that hard to find. Check local movie rental places and other places which sell/rent DVDs.)

I hope that helps.

Dusty Nipplz... which is a very fun name... I would also like to contact the Videogasm people re a video on pig production that had me in hysterics. Could I get that name as well? Cause I don't see Videogasm listed in themecamps.

speaking of looking for theaters.... there was a tent showing a picture of world places and events.. some what of a filmography collage set to music... they played it the night of the burn but not sure that name of the camp or movie.. anyone familiair with this?? they had fold out chairs, the kind with the cup holders.. it was by the tall yellow tent with the pillows that served tea. This sounds like a long shot.

Thanks in advanced

Glad the name made you smile Morgbert. I've forwarded the link to this thread to my friend who will forward on to Videogasm. Asked them to check it out and say hey to you all.

Hi all,

The parody was indeed Thumbtanic, part of a series of spoofs done
by Steve Oderkerk including Thumb Wars and Blair Thumb Project.

The other video in question is called "Pork Corporation". I forget where
I got it from, maybe Kazaa?
