Less than an hour until Rifftrax Live! So excited, so excited, so excited, so excited. I've only seen two whole Rifftrax commentaries myself- Attack of the Clones and Transformers (the ONLY reason I would ever watch either of those movies). They were all right, didn't really blow me away. The "best of the superhero movies" YouTube vids

hermione_vader posted were better- maybe they came later, when the guys had really found their rhythm? Aaanyway, I fully expect to laugh me ass off tonight. If nothing else, watching any funny film/show/whatever with a roomful of people laughing along makes whatever you're watching ten times funnier. Seriously, I've noticed, when I've tried indoctrinating friends with MST3K. I'm especially thrilled to know Mike, Kevin, and Bill will be singing a song. I listened to both volumes of Clowns in the Sky on the way to and from work today, so my head is stuffed to bursting with MST3K tunes. This will also be my first ever viewing of Plan 9 From Outer Space. I know it's been riffed before, but I never bothered to check it out. Clearly, I wasn't supposed to until now. Nice how that works out.

So, final count on my one-episode-a-night MST marathon (I never mentioned that I really don't like watching more than one episode at a time- the movies are just too bad for me to handle in the true marathon format.):
The Touch of Satan
The Screaming Skull
The Space Children (unintended, additional Peggy Webber marathon FTW)
Devil Fish
The Sword and the Dragon

All total classics, will watch again. But first... Rifftrax live!

Agreed. My goodness. Did you ever read that article this one guy wrote about how true Star Wars fans actually hate Star Wars and almost everything about it? Ye-eah. As for Transformers.. I really wasn't paying much attention, except to get the jokes. The rest of the time, I was pitying John Turturro, who I quite like in other roles.

I did! Speaking of crap, Plan 9 From Outer Space did not disappoint in the monumentally wretched waste of film category, and acted as the perfect foil to Mike, Kevin, and Bill's riffing.

I've never read that but it's entirely true.

I'm glad you enjoyed the riffing then. :)

And heeere you go! It's really quite a fascinating look at fandom's relationship with canon.

I'm pretty sure a world does not exist where it is possible to not enjoy the riffing of one Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett. So, you know, it works out well.

Thank you for the link. That was a perfect summation of the Star Wars experience; it's a far more superior idea than execution. I still think George Lucas had someone else write the originals because, honestly, no one can become so utterly bad at.... everything.

The less said about Jar Jar Binks the better. *shudder*

Yeah, I definitely heard that he had other people do the writing, he just came up with the ideas. But ~~his ego~~ something made him decide to write the prequels himself.

And so- *shuts mouth*
