MST3000 riff trax
 

Never heard of it before. Sounds like drunken fun.

I do plan on watching it drunk.

I AM SO GOING TO THIS

the guy from somethingawful and the guy who made the 'still alive' song for portal are gonna do some stuff too

boo and yay?

If I can I'm going. Sounds like a MST3K goldmine.

I might have to ask mom for an early allowance to go see it.

Already reserved my ticket!

I got a few of the On Demand ones because I didn't already have any of the movies needed for the accompanying rifftrax. It's almost exactly like the show, apart from the lack of silhouettes and no character roles to stick to.

When I bought them (the On Demand ones that come already synced to a video file), they attach them to an account you make, and then you have a choice to download them in a few different formats (divx, mpg, mp4, and wmv) along with the option to download just an MP3 of the rifftrax. Once you have them, I don't think there's a limit to the number of times you can download each one.

Ah cool, I didn't know they were selling them already synced up. I kind of lost interest in them soon after they started because I wasn't confident enough in the quality of them to justify all the hassle, and most of the fun of mst3k for me was the complete agony and/or insanity of the movies they did. A movie like Daredevil or Titanic doesn't seem silly enough to riff to me. But I might check a few of these On Demand ones out.

On the riff trax site they have a place where you can make your own voiceover riffs to pre-selected clips. One of the clips is funny without voiceovers..check out the clip "how to treat loose women". I can't link the clip directly but I can link the page just scroll down to find it.

I thought it was an old PSA for the Military. But its much better.

Being a fan of the original MST3K, I never liked the idea of Riff Trax. The terrible, terrible ads sure as shit didn't help.

'What the hell am I watching?'

Just watched the ad for it last night. I'm def going to this because a bar and the cinema is in walking distance.

wooooooooooo

SORRY FORT WORTH

The live event was a lot of fun, but I really could've done without the singing comedian they brought with them.

Had a lot of fun, even if a torrential downpour made the transmission fuck up a couple of times.

Are you talking about Jonathan Coulton, Dr. Boogie? The guy that sang those really annoying songs about zombies and the future? Yeah, I really wish the transmission had chosen to bug out when he was on screen.

Yes, him. For me, the funniest part of his time on stage was when the cameras panned over the crowds, and only picked up on people looking bored and annoyed. Then they settled on the only two people who actually knew the words to his songs enough to sing along.

And I can't help but think that they sent Kevin out during his zombie song because they saw how badly he was bombing.

I am so freaking late to this.

I really loved getting to hear Mike, Kevin, and Bill riff like they did on the show. It's also the first time I saw Plan 9, so I did my best to riff to my brother (he hated the performance) during the parts when they were quiet. It was mildly disappointing that Mike didn't riff quite as much as Kevin and Bill, but they were all good..

About that Coultron guy, I agree. The guy was absolutely flailing out there. I was actually excited when they announced him since I know he's the one who wrote the Portal song, and how crushing it was that he turned out to be a one-hit wonder (who else but VH1 and me uses that phase?).

If they ever do another show, I'll be glad to see it.

What are you talking about "one-hit wonder"? He didn't have ANY hits, and "still alive" is probably one of his worst songs. The only reason it's popular is because it's easy to play on the piano so all the valve fanboys sucked that shit down. I haven't seen him live, true, but from hearing his studio stuff he seems fine to me.

but of course I fucking hate Mystery Science Theater, so I probably am lightyears away from you guys in terms of likes/dislikes.

hangie you can die now ok

You've pretty much set yourself up as the opposite of everything in this thread.

You got bad taste, hombre.

The opposite of everything in this thread? He shouldn't even be on this forum. Hangie should have stuck with his myspace posse.

Hangie, I seriously hope that the Satellite of Love crashes into your house and kills your mother.
