By the way, the previously announced “Olde Tyme Shorts Roundup” and Shorts to Go were released this week.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the very first RiffTrax (for the record it was Mike’s solo riff of “Road House”). To celebrate its fifth birthday and say thanks to fans, they’ve announced that you can use coupon code GIMMEFIVE for 15 percent off all downloads!
For those of you headed to Comic-Con in San Diego (not us), here’s a rundown of MST3K-related stuff:
ShoutFactory will be at booth 4248, where you will be able to buy copies (before the official release!!) of the new “MST3K Vs. Gamera” set, as well as the MST3k 20th anniversary tees (plus a stressball free with a MST3k purchase!). Thursday, noon to 2 p.m.–Mike, Kevin and Bill will be signing autographs in the Sails Pavillion AA5. Thursday, July 21, 7 p.m. at the Balboa Theatre–RiffTrax guys will take part in “w00tstock 3.0” with Paul & Storm and special guests Adam Savage and Wil Wheaton. Friday, 6:45-7:45 p.m. in room 6DE–The Rifftrax live show/panel. If you’re not in line now, it may be too late. Saturday, 3-5 p.m.–Mike, Kevin and Bill will be signing autographs in the Sails Pavillion AA5. Saturday, 11 p.m.–Mike, Kevin and Bill will be guests of Chris Hardwick for his live podcast at a place called 4th & B, 345 B St., in San Diego. Get tickets to be in the audience here (before they’re gone). Alert reader Ken writes:
You can talk about opening or closing credits and you can discuss the credit sequence itself or the riffing thereof. As for me, I can give my answer with one word: “Tusk!” What’s your pick? Our pal Luigi Bastardo has a review of some recent Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic titles.
As they seem to do every time a Transformers movie comes out, Entertainment Weekly’s website has a list of the Top 21 Hotshot Movie Robots”, and look who’s in at #13. Also, Hellnotes.com is out with what I think is the first review (though it’s kind of general) of the upcoming “MST3K vs. Gamera” set from Shout. |
