I find it odd how often the crew run into character from the exact movie they just happen to be watching.

This Week's Journal Entry: Episode 702 - The Brute Man

"God Is Dead" GOOD!!!

Public Notice: Lewis Nitzberg has extended the obligatory apology to the Sprite Kingdom and his sentence has been reduced to “time served.” Much as it seemed somehow fitting to allow Mr. Nitzberg to fidget and convulse in the throes of spritely retribution, sprites were experiencing their own discomfort, thanks to Lewis.

Therefore, in the pursuit of humane goals, sprites were returned to the nether-realm, their homes and families. This court is only interested in the peaceful and appropriate contact of both worlds and it sincerely hopes that Lewis (and those like him) are truly contrite and have learned to think about their actions and the consequences thereof.

Lewis (Mr. Nitzberg), there are worse things in the nether world than sprites; things with teeth and blind eyes who are accustomed to the perpetual night; things that would surely find you first.

Sweet dreams!

I'm sure you've noticed that there are GENRES of riffs. So what riff genres do YOU like?

For example, one of my favorites: the Correct the Script Riff (movie says "Telekeenis" and Joel says "Um, or 'Telekenesis'")

My least favorite is the Lyric Completion Riff (movie says "Tomorrow" and Tom sings "TOMORROW, THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW")

How about you?

She did it!! SHE FINALLY DID IT!!

Yes, I finally decided that I had enough job security to pick up three of the Cinematic Titanic discs. Including one (War of the Insects) that I haven't already seen on dailymotion.com

Let's hear it for (occasional) financial solvency. (And while I'm at it, how about a great, big raspberry for online profiteers. There's A modest markup when a disc sells out, and then there's Charging $70 to $700 when a disc sells out. Sorry, Joel & Friends. I love you, but not that much... and you wouldn't see a dime from these mercenaries anyway...)

Who on here lives in NYC?

The episodes that you just...can't. I love MST3K, but there are a few episodes that I just have the hardest time sitting through. Mine are:

1. Space Travelers. How can a movie with this much star power be soooo boring? Unlike Apollo 13, this movie just makes me queasy. And the riffing is pretty mediocre.

2. The Girl In Lovers Lane. I'm a big sucker and despite the fact that these movies suck, I can't help but get attached to some of the characters. So when the girl dies...I was like, "WHAT!? WHY!?" Even Sidehackers isn't that big of a downer for me.

3. Werewolf. Seriously, why the hell is this one so popular?

4. Hamlet. How do you screw up Shakespeare? Just boring, and no big laughs from the riffers either.

CONFESSION BEAR:(OR WALRUS)
I HATE THAT ONLY THREE OF FOUR JOEL EPISODES HAVE ONE HUNDRED LAUGHS! JOEL IS SO UNDERRATED! SO ARE THE GAMERA EPISODES! AND BLOODLUST! And Officer Kondo Cornjob is the best human movie charecter other than Chuck Norris' Canadian cousin, Rowsdower. Also Pepe and Helen are more annoying than Kenny, and I think FISH BUYING should go along with ROCK CLIMBING, DULL SUPRISE, and DEEP HURTING. And Monster A-Go Go is worse than Manos because they couldn't even make SEGMENTS about Monster A-Go Go. And I would love to have a Killer Shrew Shake.
