MST3K:TM In Chi-Town and a Brief “Pod People” Quote

The Music Box Theatre in Chicago will be showing “Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie” on March 14 & 15 as part of its Midnight Movies series.

Thanks to Dave for the info.

Pitchfork Media quotes the “Music From Some Guys In Space” host segment in its review of the latest album from Goldfrapp. As you can probably guess, it’s not meant to be flattering…

Thanks to Stephen for the link.

Time Chasers Re-Release Trailer

This was added to Youtube last September, so I guess this isn’t breaking news, but…

MSTies Never Cease to Amaze Me

This is the sort of thing I would do if I wasn’t so busy…and so lazy: A guy named Andrew COUNTED EVERY RIFF IN EVERY EPISODE. He also timed every episode. The result: a boggling statistic: riffs per minute.
Oh, and here’s a ton of data.
This statistic is, admittedly, ultimately meaningless: more riffs doesn’t necessarily mean better. But still, I love the fact that somebody spent time dissecting the episodes like this. It’s definitely heading for Ward E.

Andrew, we salute you! Excelsior!
