Convention appearances, live shows, Cinematic Titanic releases, RiffTrax releases, Shout! Factory releases… Wouldn’t you like to see a handy calendar containing the dates they’ll all be taking place? Sure, we all do!
The Cinematic Titanic crew will be performing live at the Lakeshore Theater in Chicago not one night, not two nights, but three nights in a row. And each night, they will be riffing a different unreleased CT title! The shows will take place December 18-20, with two performances each night on the 19th and 20th. Tickets for all performances are on sale now.
We’re not sure what to make of this, but Ben Tobin over at Dirty Red Commie claims that a familiar silhouette appeared while he was watching the Olympics on August 17 between 2pm and 3:13pm Mountain Time. The figures were static and there was no commentary. He’s posted a short video to support his claim.
Update: The video has apparently been pulled from the Vimeo site. Here’s a screen capture, more can be seen on Ben’s site.
Ben says the figures only appeared on the HD version of the broadcast. What do you think? Did it really happen? Or is he trying to make an “eat” out of “C” and “H”? Further update: Based on responses to his post, Ben now believes that it was done by somebody at the local NBC affiliate in Helena, Mont., having fun with/testing its HD channel, which this person may have thought nobody was watching. It apparently was only seen in the Helena area. Yet another further update: As Ben points out in our comments section, KTVH has confirmed that the silhouette did appear, supposedly due to the use of second-hand equipment being used for the first time. There’s no explanation why the silhouette was on the equipment in the first place. You can do what you want, but I’m steering away from monsters here and instead I’m looking at bad guys (and gals) supernatural or otherwise, who are actively trying to thwart the hero of the movie. I’m also steering away from anti-heroes (which would be another good list). There are a LOT, so I’m picking 10. In episode order, they are: • Dr. Krup, aka “The Bat” – 102- THE ROBOT VS. THE AZTEC MUMMY: aka the evil Judge Robert Bork. Honorable mention Frank Conniff will be co-hosting a stand-up show this Friday, August 15, at the Fake Gallery in L.A. Scheduled to appear are J. Elvis Weinstein, Maria Bamford, 20th Anniversary panel host Patton Oswalt, and others. Visit the Fake Gallery web site for more info.
