well to me it would seem like they found the tube, basically a time capsule, that was buried years ago, the dvd's were in there, and theres a message in there.. im guessing whatevers wirtten in the tube will have an effect on the plot. and my guess would be they are studying them, not forced, but they want to see what was in them. or maybe the message tells them they need to watch them to find something else out. i dont really know. buttttt im not thinking its going to be a forced thing, that would be too close to the mst3k premise and I doubt they really want to go that route. Katie, I think you put your finger on it! This was exactly the line of reasoning that I was considering. glad someone agrees

I looked at the background info on the real time-tube. It was buried at a point that was 20 feet above sea level. They even considered that the area may sink below sea level.
But they didn't see global warming coming back then, and that the sea level may easily cover that area in five thousand years. The marker for the time-tube may be forgotten eventually, as it'll be at the bottom of the new Continental Shelf.
Best Laid Plans and all that...

20 feet? Wow, that was really planning ahead... why not bury it in Denver?

As long as they put a 1000 ft tall sign on top of it that says, "Time Tube burried here," then they'll be fine.

Hmm. But what will the monkeys do with the time capsules in 6938?

Actually, doesn't the earth only have another 500 years or so thanks to the apes' bomb worshiping neighbors and some orbiting knucklehead?

I bet they're half-rusted by now.

We should just seed the Earth with a bunch of time-capsules all over the place for future archaeologists to have fun with.
As for Cinetanic... I like all the speculation thus far. Personally I lean towards the idea that they are scientists analyzing the movie contents found in the time tube. Perhaps they gain their pop-culture knowledge from all the stuff in the tube itself.
Also, the set looks amazing. Instead of silhouettes (hard word to spell) in theater seats at the bottom of the screen, we're getting their silhouettes standing on the edges of the screen. (At least it appears that way from the picture). Cool concept, and really not much more would be blocked- rarely is anything really important to the movie off in the corners. Plus if they are standing then we can get more visual gags since they are free to move around more and can reach more areas of the screen. I'm really hoping they go for the visual gags a bit more. (I laughed my head off when Mike pulled the pool cue out in Girl in Gold Boots).
