Update: Volume XVI Press/Reviews

Update: Gary Wears at DVDFile.com gives a long, detailed and very positive review.

Here’s the first review we’ve seen of Volume XVI, due out in a couple of weeks, by John Wallis of DVD Talk. He likes it!

Ripoff Alert

We just wanted to alert you to this offering on Amazon. (Thanks to alert reader David for the heads up.)
Seems like it has something to do with this post:

There is a known scam going about which is still drawing people in. Someone I know just paid £35 for a book on a particular subject, published by Alphascript Publishing.
Within the first few pages among copyright information was a small easily missed disclaimer ‘all source material drawn from articles on wikipedia’.
These muppets are literally (badly) gathering info from Wikipedia, calling themselves ‘editors’ and selling the books via Amazon and other outlets for a huge price.
Be aware and avoid at all costs. Thieving gits.

What he said.

More Reviews at DVD Corner

Report from Cinematic Titanic Live in St. Louis

Once again this year I was fortunate enough to attend the sound check for the live show. When I arrived, the CT crew had already done a readthrough of the script back in the green room and were now taking a break. All except for Josh and Dave (Gruber) Allen, that is, who were overseeing the equipment setup on the stage. At around 5:00 p.m. the rest of the group arrived and the check began.

As you’re probably aware, the movie that was to be riffed this evening was WAR OF THE INSECTS. This was actually an alternate title and the film still retained its original title card of GENOCIDE. Both titles make sense (sort of) after you watch the picture.

Rather than write a lengthy report, I’ll just let the captions for the following pictures tell the night’s story. But there was one bit of good news worth noting: even with this down economy, the attendance for this year’s show beat last year’s…by one ticket. Good job, CT and Family Arena!

As always, if you attended the show please feel free to share your thoughts about it in the comments section.
