The We Hate Movies podcast interviewed Mike.
It’s been a while since we’ve updated our catchphrases shirts, and we’d love to get your suggestions. We’re especially interested in hearing about a phrase or phrases that YOU SPECIFICALLY would like to buy.
As a reminder: We cannot use these phrases, which are on bumper stickers that BBI sells. Join Us And here’s the current list of shirts that are currently available: Paint my muscle car prune color, please! Let us know! J. Elvis was recently interviewed by the Chicago Jewish News.
Alert reader Dan writes:
You’re reading my mind, Dan. This has been on mind quite a bit lately. As the saying goes: this is not a democracy, and I do have a tentative short-term plan, but I am interested in getting feedback from our readers/commenters on all of this. After we finish season 3 in two weeks, I will have done every episode in the expanded format. That said, I’m not really happy with the episode guide entries starting in season 4 and continuing for several seasons after that. The format of the episode guide entries evolved over time, and I now need to go back through them and make them consistent (and, frankly, to clean them up a bit). But doing what we have been doing up till now — one episode a week — will take 2 1/2 years. I don’t want to do that. So, my plan for the cleanup of these entries is to do two a week, and to move them to the weekends (one on Saturday and one on Sunday). (By the way, I still plan to do a weekend discussion thread.) For each one, I’ll re-open comments for seven days allowing latecomers to weigh in and long-time commenters to revise and extend their earlier remarks. It should take about a year, maybe a bit more, to get through these and get the episode guide where I want it to be. I can live with that time frame. And so, as the title of this thread suggests, the remaining question is: whither Thursdays? I too have grown fond of the ritual. I only have definite plan for the next few months. First, we will do the Best Brains video releases: “MST Poopie,” “MST Poopie II” (should we do both Poopies together?), “The MST Scrapbook” the “Play MiSTie for Me” DVD and “The Last Dance – Raw”? (Should we also do all five volumes of “Tom Servo’s All Time Favorite Host Segments,” and if we do, should we do them as one entry or five? If we do them, it may require me to plug my VCR back in!) Whatever we decide, from there I will first do the four “Film Crew” episodes. After that I will do the Legend Films solo riffs that Mike did in 2004-2006. (Note: even though the Film Crew DVDs came out AFTER most of the Legend disks, they were made before, so I think that’s the order we should follow). That will take us well into 2012. From there, I think it’s obvious: RiffTrax and Cinematic Titanic. The question becomes: how do we space them out, considering that RiffTrax put out 50 episodes (not even counting shorts) before the first Cinematic Titanic DVD came along, and there are currently a total of I would really like to get your thoughts on the best and fairest way to approach this and on everything I’ve talked about here. Some thoughts I’ve had: Maybe we should just separate the two streams completely and do Cinematic Titanic on, say, Tuesdays, and RiffTrax on Thursdays. Cinematic Titanic will end in a couple of months (until the next disk comes out), but at least they’ll get an uncluttered hearing. Or maybe we should just start with Cinematic Titanic on Thursdays and then move to on to RiffTrax. One final crazy idea: Maybe we shouldn’t do the RiffTrax in chronological order but instead do them in groups, like do all the franchise movies together, i.e. all the Star Wars movies in a row, all the Harry Potter movies in a row, like that. Thoughts? Suggestions? RiffTrax has provided more information about their upcoming netcasts, and they’ve changed their plans a bit. They will again be using the UStream system.
On Friday, Oct. 21, at 6 p.m. Eastern/3 p.m. Pacific, instead of the previously announced “Vodka tasting,” they’ll be free showing the first 10 minutes of their next VOD title, “Sons of Hercules: Land of Darkness.” Meanwhile, the “Halloween Double-feature” has moved to Thursday, Oct. 27 (time TBA): They’ll be showing a mix of previously released shorts and features: “Magical Disappearing Money,” “Maniac,” “The Creeps Machine” and “Night of the Living Dead.” It will cost $2 to view. More info when we get it. |
