LOS ANGELES–Actor John Phillip Law, perhaps best remembered as the blind angel opposite Jane Fonda in 1968’s “Barbarella” died at his home here May 13. He was 70. MSTies will remember him as Commander Elijah Kalgan in the movie in episode 820- Space Mutiny and the title character in the episode 1013- Diabolik. Kevin and Bill take the point, so to speak, for another “Rifftrax Presents” title…
Sorry this is a little late, but it’s my birthday and I slept in. So there.
I got my list down to seven, so that’s the guideline: • 902- THE PHANTOM PLANET–Crow and Tom challenge Mike to an Andy Rooney-off: One of those “little” sketches that comes out of nowhere and cracks you up. You can see they must have been doing this around the office for days. Worst: from 906- The Space Children: Mike’s the kid from the short! Bonk!–Just kinda lays there. Let’s hear yours! Rifftrax has created another product line, called “Rifftrax Presents.” Essentially, it’s Rifftrax minus Mike.
Two titles have been released today: One features an episode from the “Star Trek: Phase II (aka Star Trek: New Voyages)” series, “World Enough and Time”, riffted by Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett. This one is similar to the shorts: the riffing already included (and is DRM-free). You can also choose to download the unriffed movie and the RiffTrax commentary separately, if you prefer to sync them up yourself.) Here’s a sample. Get it here. The other title being released today is a regular Rifftrax commentary track for the 2005 movie “Dark Water” riffed by British writer and performer Matthew Elliott. Here’s a sample. Get it here. Another Star Trek: Phase II episode and another riff from Elliott are due out next week. |
