Sounds from the movie “Galaxy Quest” and a Village People song drowned out a livestreamed Congressional subcommittee meeting Monday, forcing lawmakers to temporarily recess.
Members of the House Appropriations subcommittee on energy and water development didn’t seem to hear the audio, which played for about 20 minutes until subcommittee chairwoman Marcy Kaptur called for a break.
“We’ve been informed that we’ll have to take a brief recess now because we’re having technical issues and we’re gonna just be briefly recessing for a second here,” Rep. Kaptur, D-Ohio, said.

“This hasn’t happened before but it’s a new age so give us a couple of moments.”
Audio from “Galaxy Quest,” a 1999 sci-fi spoof with Tim Allen, is heard loudly over lawmakers’ presentations.
Later, as Congress members talk about federal funding for water projects, the Village People’s “In the Navy” kicks in.

"Those poor people."
They have there own soundtracks 😂

Some intern is in trouble.
The late great Alan Rickman immediately signed on after Tim Allen spoke to him in person. He was in L.A. for a promo for another movie, and rarely did comedy. Tim Allen said his delivery was excellent and had a fun time on set, except for the make up.
One of the most underrated comedies of all time. That was Sam Rockwell’s earliest roles.
Sam was also ‘Wild Bill’ in “The Green Mile”.
At least it wasn’t closed circuit tv of Slow Joe bending over in his bathrobe
Galaxy Quest.
I suspect this is Kamal’s great idea, as she is now National Space Council head.
Yes, he was. If it wasn’t for Michael Duncan, he would have stolen the movie the same way Val Kilmer did it in Tombstone.
That Oscar supporting actor category was Michael Ckarke Duncan, the kid from 6th Sense et al. Michael Cane won it, and historically, the ONLY time in Oscar history (supposedly) that the “winner” thanked and acknowledged the OTHER 4 NOMINEES by name. 99% of the time, they only thank their agents and themselves.
Ordinarily I despise hackers. But in this one case......

Was the hacker a minor or a miner?
Michael Clarke Duncan was awesome in that movie.
I remembered him from “Armageddon” before that one.
