Weekend Discussion Thread: Ringtones

Alert reader Kyle writes:

I have a smartphone and I was looking for ringtones/alerts. I found an app that I like for tones and decided to look up MST3K, not expecting anything! But I did!! They have “It stinks!,” “Whaddya think sirs?,” Torgo’s theme, some buff names from “Space Mutiny,” and theme songs with Mike and Joel. Which ringtone(s) would people want? Theme songs? Quotes during the movie? Mike, Joel, TV Frank? The list would be endless.

The RiffTrax guys created a bunch a few years ago. I downloaded a few, including “Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew” from their riff of “The Two Towers.” But I currently use the Schnappi theme song as my main ringtone.

So, what ringtones do you have, and what would you want?

Cinematic Titanic Will Stop Touring at the End of 2013

Those on the Cinematic Titanic mailing list have received this:

As we have been adding dates to our live show schedule for 2013, we have come to the decision that this will be our last year actively touring as Cinematic Titanic. We feel that with any project there is a time to move on and as 5 people living in 5 different cities with different lives and projects, it has become increasingly difficult to coordinate our schedules and give Cinematic Titanic the attention it requires to keep growing as a creative enterprise and a business. As a result, we have decided to take this indefinite hiatus.

The last 5+ years have been an amazing opportunity for us all to reconnect creatively with one another and more importantly to connect with the fans of MST3K and new fans of Cinematic Titanic. We’ve had the great pleasure of playing some beautiful theaters around the country and have taken movie riffing to places we never dreamed, like ILM and Pixar, a sports arena, and even Broadway! The love we’ve been shown by those we’ve met and performed for will be with us forever.

We will be performing as many dates as is feasible this year and we hope you’ll come out and see us go at it one last time if we come to a theater near you in 2013. We are still in discussions about the production of additional DVDs and we’ll keep you posted.

We thank you deeply for all the support you’ve shown Cinematic Titanic over these years and we’re looking forward to many great shows in the year ahead.

Cheers,

The CT Crew

Weekend Discussion Thread: That Moment that Completely Cracked You Up

Alert reader Stacy suggests (well, I kind of altered her suggestion a little — sorry, Stacy — but this was part of it) that you share a moment from the show that completely cracked you up. For her, it was…:

…the singing of “She’s old” when the old woman was going down the stairs in “The Atomic Brain.” Laughed until I cried!

Well, there’s so many, but one I love is this:

What’s yours?
