Live Music!

Hello, Comfy Chairers, and welcome to another week at the cinema.

We here at the Comfy Chair spent this past weekend enjoying the love that is The Hackensaw Boys. And in an effort for you to get out of your shells and go out and enjoy the love that is The Hackensaw Boys yourselves, we're posting some videos we took of Saturday's show.

This one features Shawn, known to the fold as Plang Tang Hackensaw, singing an old number called "Hope I'll Be Lucky Some Old Day." (And if one clip isn't enough for you - and really, it's not, you know it - head over to Betland to see another.)

So grab a snack (sold in the lobby, etc etc), and don't sit back as usual - we're clearing the aisles for this one so you can get up and dance.

Kitchen Dance

Greetings, movie lovers, and welcome to another new feature at the Comfy Chair.

We at the Comfy Chair had an interesting weekend. We spent Sunday making this week's movie, "Kitchen Dance." We had an idea, a piece of music, and we prepared to let the good times roll. And we did, but things came to a dead halt when we saw our finished product. The Comfy Chair Still Camera was on the wrong setting, the lighting was bad, and the Comfy Chair's finger made several cameo appearances in the film.

And so we scrapped it. But were we at the Comfy Chair upset? Well, yeah, a little. But not so upset that we gave up. For we liked the idea and knew we could do better. And so after a very long day today, we tried again. And we think we got it.

"Kitchen Dance" is just that. It's Dance Night at The Egg, which is the name of the kitchen at the Comfy Chair's humble home, the Poderosa. And the lovely Ms Leopardskin Flask is looking to dance. And dance she does!

So sit back, grab the snack of your choice from the lobby (Lemonheads are half off this week), and enjoy this week's offering, "Kitchen Dance."

Another Parade, More Wind-Ups

Well, hello, movie lovers, and welcome to a new week at the Comfy Chair Cinema.

It's been an odd weekend. It culminated in two important things. The first was we at the Comfy Chair admitting to our benefactor the nice new camera he gave us just doesn't work for certain things. Comfy Chair movies among them. (The benefactor was very nice about it.) And while that left us filming with the beloved Flip camera, it also left us with no program that recognized it.

However, that all-important second thing. Somewhere around midnight last night, WATCC did yet more research and may have found an answer to our problem. And we were so excited about that we just started putting together a movie then and there, which kept us up till about 2:30 am, which isn't so good as the Comfy Chair has to go to work at 9:00.

But there is a new movie, and so, well, screw work.

This week's movie is a sequel to our earlier "Wind-Ups on Parade." This time the wind-ups are from Mr M, friend and patron of the Comfy Chair. Not much to explain here, just wind them up and let them go.

So sit back, get a nice snack in the lobby (sold at a nominal fee, of course), and enjoy "Another Parade, More Wind-Ups."
