Rifftrax for Harry Potter 1 Now Available

As the site says:

The most profitable bespectacled Potter since Henry F. and Sherman T. combined, tales of Harry’s indoctrination into Satan’s dark and unholy arts have delighted dozens of children the world over. And this, the first movie of the series, ably helmed by Chris Columbus (Monkeybone, Christmas with the Kranks, Jingle All the Way, Bicentennial Man, Mrs. Doubtfire, Nine Months, Gremlins 2: The New Batch) captures all the wonder, magic and reckless child endangerment, thanks in no small part to the scene chewing of some of Britain’s hammiest actors. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, years before he gave everyone a good long look at his Nimbus 2000, Emma Watson and some kid who makes Ron Howard look swarthy, Harry Potter and the Something of Something Else is the most fun you’ll have giving J.K. Rowling yet more of your money this year!

Mike, Kevin and Bill Dumbledore their way through a Haggrid of laughs in this, the Hogwartiest of all RiffTrax! (We have no idea what any of that means!)

Reg Park, RIP

Bodybuilding legend and some time actor Reg Park died yesterday in Johannesburg, South Africa, of skin cancer. He was 79.

MSTies will remember his performance as Hecules in episode 412 – HERCULES AND THE CAPTIVE WOMEN.

Reg Park was born in Leeds, England, named after his father, a gymnasium proprietor and owner of the Reg Park Barbell Company. Reg took up bodybuilding in 1946. He finished Mr. Universe runner-up to future film rival Steve Reeves in 1950, then won the title outright in 1951, 1958 and 1965. After marrying South African-born Mareon Isaacs in 1952, the Parks moved permanently to South Africa where Reg ran a chain of fitness studios.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger considered Park his friend and mentor. Schwarzenegger lived and trained with him in the late ’60s. It was Reg who urged Arnold to try a movie career.
