It's all a part of a well-balanced breakfast! When I was a kid, breakfast was either: 1. bowl of cold cereal, 2. 2 scrambled eggs w/toast & milk, or 3. pancakes w/syrup & OJ

I went to Cinematic Titanic last night with a few friends and we absolutely loved it. They re-riffed Santa Clause Conquers the Martians and it was absolutely hilarious. Completely new riffs. It was worth the $30 bucks. I was going to stay around and talk to the cast but it looked like a lot of people were going to be in line for purchasing memorabilia and getting it signed. It was a good night all around though. I think it might have even surpassed the original.

This is one of the things I love about them from a craft standpoint - throwing in "gently caress" is just about the cheapest possible way of getting a laugh, it requires almost no thought or talent at all. Of course it's possible to use swearing cleverly, but that's a rare and special thing.

In the very last MST3K episode (Diabolik) the main bad guy is in a yacht and sees a power boat heading towards the yacht. Casually he says, "Is that Stud...coming?" referring to one of his henchmen, Stud. Of course you could make an over the top joke about cum and all that, but Crow merely shakes his head in shock and says "Excuse me?!?!" It's really all that's needed and it represents the high road in humor.

It'd be great if both riffing franchises did a "Late Nite" series of material where they could swear (but with class) and throw in more sexual humor, or other things they couldn't have done on Comedy Central or Sci-Fi. "Adults only," but poo poo, kids know dem words anyway.

By eating lots and lots of hot dogs Anyway, I thought Indy IV was a terrible waste of time and possibly the dumbest movie of 2008, but then I watched the Happening and, welp. What I'm astonished did not get a comment was the total lack of reaction by the bystanders. "Huh. Yep, you just plunged a hairpin in your throat. You know, chili would be great for dinner tonight."

Seems they're selling the shorts as a DVD collection now. There's even a new short on it which is annoying because I've already bought all of the available shorts as they came out and don't want/need a DVD version of them.

Actually reading some more its not all of the shorts, just the "Best" although they say Vol 1 so they'll probably release the rest on DVD. Here's the list of what's going to be coming out though: Down and Out Patriotism Buying Food Right or Wrong Drugs are Like That Skipper Learns a Lesson The Trouble With Women It Must be the Neighbors with the extra short Shake Hands with Danger. Also there's some weird 3-D animated avatars for Mike, Kevin and Bill.

Its also definitely cheaper to buy them on their own than the DVD which is just 9 shorts for $14.95. While each short is just $.99 each.

I have a feeling they'll EVENTUALLY put out the new short on its own because that's bullshit for people who have been supporting them all this time. Maybe they could do some thing where if you've already bought the rest of the shorts they'll let you purchase the new one. Their system keeps track of what you've bought so it shouldn't be that hard to do.

Maybe, as a twisted joke, when they release the short on its own it'll cost the price of the DVD minus the price of the other individual shorts. Maybe a dollar less as a Super-Fun-Ultra-Wacky Discount(TM). If it were up to me, I'd consider doing something like that, but I'm an rear end in a top hat.

Actually I just ordered the shorts DVD. Sure it's more expensive than buying them alone (and the new CGI overlay looks kind of lame on the new one), but this is a really good gift. My dad used to love MST3K when it was on TV and these shorts are from his era, the kind of things he had to watch growing up, so getting a bunch in DVD form so he can watch it easily on his TV is right up his alley. It definitely isn't aimed at those of us who use a PC as our media center or roll our own audio tracks.

As I was paying for my books I told them about rifftrax and they had no idea the guys behind MST3K were doing anything these days.

Sadly that X-Men 2 riff was pretty weak as was the Indiana Jones one in my opinion. They can coast along on the good-will from The Happening for all eternity though, so I'm not worried they are slipping or anything.
