Joel and Original Cast of MST3K Riding the Cinematic Titanic

AugstWest writes "Unfortunately it's in separate projects, but just after Jim Mallon (the man who owns all things MST3K) announced that he would be bringing back Tom Servo, Crow and Gypsy in animated Flash shorts on the web along with Paul Chaplin (a writer from the original MST3K), Joel Hodgson, the series creator, has announced that he will be launching a new venture called Cinematic Titanic. It will feature horrible movies riffed by the original cast of MST3K, including Josh Weinstein (the original Tom Servo), Trace Beaulieu (the original Crow), Frank Conniff (TV's Frank), Mary Jo Pehl (Pearl Forrester) and, of course, Joel himself. They've already got the rights to 12 movies, and will be releasing one a month starting in December for DVD purchase or download."

Note to self:

Don't spend so much time making sure the grammar and prose are correct, otherwise someone else is going to post your information ahead of you and your post will be modded redundant :(

So...if you can get MST3K back on TV where it can serve as the background for whatever I'm doing with my kids or my computer, I'll tune in. Otherwise...buy it? Way too much commitment. Step 1: Put DVD in player.
Step 2: Press Play.
Step 3: Do things while movie plays.

You haven't seen a DVD in a while, have you?

It's more like this:
1. Put DVD in player
2. Wait for stupid menu to come up
3. Play the DVD
4. Wait for stupid previews to go away
5. See DVD distributor's logo again
6. See silly FBI warning
7. After 5 minutes of farting around with pressing buttons and fast forwarding, you finally have what you're looking for

(And, you forgot steps 0, .25 and .5: Buy the DVD, figure out how to break through the seals without cutting off your own fingers and then try not to lose/break/scratch it.)

If I want to watch something on TV, it's many times faster (no, I don't even use digital cable - way too slow when you're just trying to flip channels).

DVD's just suck if you're an "instant gratification" guy like I am. I've got my kids hooked on old Transformers cartoons, er, "delivered digitally" without DVDs and I don't think I'm ever going back.

MST3K ~ Samson vs. the Vampire Women
[We see an ominous castle in a deserted forest.]
[The camera zooms in on a dessicated woman's corpse in a casket.]
Crow: Let the Cher jokes... begin.
Servo: Hey, it looks like Cher! Heh heh heh...

[Vampire priestess Tandra calls on the goddess Selene, changing from her withered form to a hottie.]
Servo: Another successful José Eber makeover.
Crow [as Tandra]: I'm pretty, so I have value now.

[As Diana plays the "Moonlight" Sonata, four bats hover outside her window.]
Servo: Hey, the woodland creatures love her music!
Crow: I don't get the physics of a hovering bat.
Servo: The Vampire Precision Flight Team in formation!
Crow [as Bat]: I don't know how long I can keep this up!

If you've never seen the divine greatest show of all time, MST3K, much less heard of it, please kill yourself now. We can't have philosophical zombies wandering around who have no idea how to react to "Movie Sign!," or Mike blowing up Earth, again.

How long does it take you to do grammar and prose for 3 sentences? :)
