Posted by Sampo, on June 25th, 2011 And now a message from Joel:
Greetings friends of MST3K and Cinematic Titanic.
Just wanted to mention that “Twentywonder” is just around the corner on July 9th in Los Angeles. The event is basically a “carnival of the mind” with lots of special guests like “The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club”, Exene Cervenka, Ed Asner reading Dr. Seuss, and even the original “Batmobile”. I understand that this year there is even going to be some LADY ROLLER DERBY ACTION! The only thing that won’t be there this year, unfortunately, is me. Turns out there has been a bit of a scheduling snafu, and even though it has been advertised that I would be on hand, again, unfortunately, I just can’t make it this year. I did, however, want to alert you to my absence and also still encourage you to go in the event you happen to be in the LA area. TwentyWonder is really a wonderful event and all proceeds go to the Downs Association of Los Angeles!
Cheers, and thanks, and please excuse me,
Joel Hodgson

Posted by Sampo, on June 25th, 2011 Nick Lyons at DVD corner likes RiffTrax Live: Reefer Madness but “RiffTrax Live: House On Haunted Hill” not so much.

I was watching “Spider Island” the other day and it suddenly hit me how good of a job Bill did in that episode. Crow’s riff deliveries were lively and sincere, and he was hilarious as flash-dancing Observer what with his animated pounding on the chair (complete with a little adjusting when he accidentally knocked it off-center). Thus, I was wondering what the community thought were great episodes for other cast members. Tell us what cast member excelled in what particular episode. It doesn’t have to be regulars, either. But show your work. Don’t just say, “Brad Keely was funny as the Cake N’ Shake dancer.” What about it took that episode/segment to another level of awesomeness?
I’m going to have to go with evil Mike in episode 611- LAST OF THE WILD HORSES. He’s a little TOO good at being evil. :-)
What would you pick?
And, reminder: Next week we will discuss Mike Nelson’s novel “Death Rat.” You have one more week to get it and read or re-read it. I will be in my office Tuesdays but not Thursdays and yes, this WILL be on the final.
