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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

LOL no kidding. Quite the work-out, that fandom-bicycling, which actually sounds like something else.

Aww, that's lovely. That's in Fido too a bit- they wrote it in when Carrie Ann Moss got pregnant. Yup, that's the flick. Had to see it for myself.

He should be a model. It might actually cause him less mental strain then his actual life (and his fandom life, because fandom-bicycling really can't be good for the psyche).

I had not heard of Fido, and just looked it up, and it sounds hilarious. As for Scanners...is it any good? I think the head-blowing up turned me off a bit, but I hear it's pretty early on.

That sounds like a good idea. Really, I'd say hopping on one of those boats from Deadliest Catch would be less mental strain than what he's dealing with now.

Fido is excellent. Gorgeous cinemtography and sets and costumes, great rare '50s tunes, hilarious social commentary- the works. Scanners was okay. I don't think the plot was as well-developed as it could be. Stuff just kind of happened, without much of a basis.

Heh. Oh, Peter, you poor, poor boy. He, Claude, and Molly totally need to join up and be the nonconventional family she should've gotten with Matt and Mohinder.

Aw, that sounds pretty cool. I'll put it on the netflix queue.

Yup! Maybe they can jet off to India so Mohinder's mom won't be lonely.

Please do! It's a treat.
