….Jesse Ventura in 1990’s “Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe.” Due out Aug. 30. If you were at the RiffTrax Live show last night, use the URL they gave you at the end to see a preview (and get other stuff). Here’s the original movie’s trailer. Looks ripe.
I had a feeling this would be the phrase people would walk out of the theater saying… A few thoughts: My theater was about half full, similar to past shows. It was probably all the same people. I had to fight traffic coming and going because A-Rod was playing in the ballpark next door. Grrr. There were a few unavoidable “live show” moments. A couple times where the camera went blank for a minute, and then cut to the camera in the back of the hall. Some kind of a miscue, there, I guess. There was also one really long closeup of Bill while he wasn’t saying anything… I have never been a big fan of the somethingawful.com stuff in the past and while these were decidedly wacky versions of the same sort of thing he gave us last time, it was pretty much the same sort of thing he gave us last time. The best I can say about them is that they were short and silly in places. That being said, they were completely worth it for the callback Mike did three-quarters the way through the movie. The movie runs 94 minutes, just about a perfect running time for this. “House on Haunted Hill” was just a little too long and “Reefer Madness” was just a little too short. This was JUUUST right. More thoughts tomorrow when I think of them… What did you think”? I will be at the Cinemark, in Moosic, Pa, on Montage Mountain just outside Scranton. I’ll probably be in the front row (not including the horrible seats right up next to the screen) wearing a Satellite News T-shirt. If ya see me, say hi!
Erhardt will be at the AMC Studio 30 in Olathe, KS. If you see him, feel free to say “Oh, hai, Erhardt” in your best “The Room” voice. |
