Missed the “Plan 9 From Outer Space” riff at Sketchfest in San Francisky? So did we! Now you can approximate the experience with the latest Rifftrax release.
Update: for an interesting riffing experience, watch your Rifftrax with the Legend edition of Plan 9 (you DID buy that, of course, right?) and turn Mike’s commentary track ON. You’ll be able to see which lines Mike reused from that version and what new material was added. Kinda interesting to see the evolution of the riff. You-know-what may have finally frozen over. TVGuide.com is reporting that Universal will be re-releasing Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie on DVD on May 6th. While we haven’t received confirmation of this ourselves, this news comes from our old friend David Lambert, TVGuide.com Content Contributor and News Director of TVShowsOnDVD.com, so we’re pretty confident of its accuracy.
The new DVD will once again be a bare-bones release, with only the original theatrical trailer thrown in as an extra. But it’s reported that the movie itself will be a new anamorphic widescreen transfer with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound mix and a French Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track. There will also be English subtitles. As always, we’ll post updates as we learn more. This is shaping up to be an interesting year for MST3K fans! Thanks once again to David Lambert for the heads-up. Update: I questioned David about the DVD being released on May 8, which is a Thursday. He double-checked and verified that the actual date is May 6. Both this article and his original one have been corrected. TVShowsOnDVD.com has posted the revised cover art for Vol. 10.2. Basically, it’s exactly the same as the art for Vol. 10 except for the tag around the dinosaur’s neck. You can see the artwork HERE.
Mary Jo, having survived her cold, has taken up fencing. She also discusses CT.
Has it occured to anybody else that she’s the only person who has worked on Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic? To my mind that makes her the hub around which the top-tier of the riffing world turns. That’s impressive hubness (hubicity?). Variety reports Bonnie Hammer has handed over the reins of The Sci-Fi Channel.
