Mystery Science Theater 3000.2 (Riff Trax etc) we like it very much!

jwalk

Mystery Science Theater 3000 in case you lived under a cave for the last 20 years.
Official fan club site

Rifftrax - this is Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett
They make cheap ($3-4) audio tracks that you download and sync to a DVD that you supply. Lots of fun with recent and past movies (Transformers, Twilight, Star Wars, Red Dawn, etc). They also produce some short audio+video downloads (DIVX) for a $1, these are more old shorts and B movies, etc. They also do live (or live on tape) shows in actual theaters - this is what the original thread was about, below...

The Film Crew - this was basically the Rifftrax guys' earlier attempt, no longer really in existence... These were full DVD movies, done up in MST style, usually old public domain/B movies etc. They are still available for sale - Their catalog on Shout Factory. (Or Amazon, etc) about $15-16 each.

Cinematic Titanic - This is the other half of the MST crew, doing a similar thing to "The Film Crew", full length DVDs with riffing. Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, "TV's" Frank Conniff, and Mary Jo Pehl. Again about $15 ea for the DVD, or $10 for a download.
They are also apparently doing live shows, currently on tour in LA, St. Louis, and Philly. Endorsed by .. Peter Fonda?

That was fun, I hope they do more live shows.

UPDATE!

There will be an encore showing of this on October 8th. HUZZAH!

Heads will roll

What do I look like, the President of the Internet? Um I didn't try it, let me check it.

Shit I don't know, looks like it's just a gizmohicky for sharing quotes on your facey spaces and whatnot.

The guy who told me about it said it would be on the intermaweb, I assumed that's what that hodad was for, sorry I'll go slit his throat.

Any rate, I assume some sort of illicit .torrent will show up on the tubertron within minutes of its conclusion.

Oh my god, Magnolia is doing this. But I was going to see Inglorious tonight.

I will have my vengeance upon you, jwalk

Someday

Fandyien

I wish I had money for this

I also wish adult swim would pick up MST3K for late-night blocks

jwalk

Inglorious does look great, but it will be there tomorrow night. This, will not.

Monkeyfeet

A place around me is actually doing this. I won't be seeing it though. If it was closer than an hour, maybe, but the few rifftracks I've seen haven't impressed me enough to think doing this live would be worth it

arithena

We are seeing this tonight. I was going to stay home and watch all the new project runway stuff tonight, but ALAS! Guess I'll just stay up late and be really sleepy at work tomorrow.

TankHammer

Okay, leaving in 30 to see this.

I'll meet you guys there in spirit.

(unless one of you is going to Framingham, MA for this thing.

arithena

nope. seeing it in lynnwood, wa.

MikeRyu

Have a great time guys!

Remember I resent you!

Bedlam

Wow this is actually available near me.

But why do it on a thursday? That is so weird.

Haaaaate you, but I hate my independent study paper that's keeping me from going more.

jwalk

Well so, if I got in my car RIGHT NOW and drove literally as fast as I fucking can, I could just make it.

I don't know.. I think I'm already too drunk for that kind of driving. Maybe next year.

Seems like the RiffTrax site is wanged though...

cj iwakura

I just got back from it.

What an awful film.

(No, I've never seen Plan 9 before now, thank god)


I liked the prologue better. The Jonathan Coulton performances were nice.

Grey Ghost

We know Plan 9 is a terrible movie

but how was the Riffing

Snowbeat

this was a lot of fun, although jonathan coulton should be shot

it was cool hearing the old voices again

Balefuego

so jealous
