Frank Conniff made another appearance on “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” last night, this time as Countdown’s “War on Christmas Correspondent.” You can watch it here. Because these appearances always seem to produce overtly political comments, we are closing comments for this post. ShoutFactory.com is now carrying Darkstar products: the video game, the 2-CD soundtrack, a PDF of the official game guide, and a special bundle that includes all that and more. Check it out here.
On his blog, astronomer Phil Plait, host of the Discovery Channel’s “Bad Astronomy” has a list books that are good gifts for science geeks.
Not sure how Trace’s “Silly Rhymes for Belligerent Children” fits the category, but, hey, a plug’s a plug! Thanks to J/P for the heads up. Both MST3K and Cinematic Titanic got a mention in this CNN piece about the geekiest Christmas Specials, and that got me to thinking: Since last year we discussed riffable Christmas movies, I thought it would be fun to delve into the Christmas TV specials.
RiffTrax has done “The Star Wars Christmas Special” and “Nestor the Long-Eared Donkey,” but what other TV specials do you think are just begging to be riffed? Me, I am going with this: The Great Santa Claus Switch (1970), with Art Carney and the Muppets. What’s your pick? |
