You know why the chicken crossed the road? Because the road crossed the chicken.
"Paint my muscle car PRUNE colored, please!"
I can't believe this is happening. I love MST3K, but damn them all the same for bringing enough attention to Hobgoblins to allow a sequel to be made. I suppose it will be interesting to see if Rick Sloane has made any leaps as a writer/director in the last 20 years.
Oh, no, I'm not tired. But my finger is!
No, because Rifftrax is campy and derivative. If you want humor, go with Cinematic Titanic, who knows what they're doing, and aren't just clinging on to beat a dead horse out of utter spite.
shareApparently theres this new rule that you're allowed to like both, and just because you like one more, it doesn't mean that the other is trash. *beep*-tard.
shareWhy do people always insist on doing this!? "Arrg i hate <Mike/Joel> mst3k was so much better during <pick era> and <rifftrax/cinematic titanic> is far superior to <rifftrax/cinematic titanic> blah blah and if you disagree with me in anyway you <are intellectually inferior to me/should go die>!!!!
Why does this stupid argument continue when i highly doubt that any of the creators would want it? A lot of people seem to forget that Joel gave the show over to Mike with his blessing, so anything thats happened since is no more Mikes fault than his. They both have different styles that appeal to different and *gasp* some of the same people
I always hate coming on these forums, film geeks and obssessed fans are the worst people on forums! Your are distracting from the vastly more important fact that some idiot actually made a sequel to Hobgoblins. This is something people need to band together over...someday there may be a Manos: Hands of Fate 2...if we don't stick together how can we survive it?
Lets face it, with the sheer volume of horrible movies now being made every day, we really need both Mike AND Joel on the job.
Well said, magical trumpy! You're only a true Mistie when you don't care or want to argue about these petty little things. :)

We interrupt this program to annoy you and make things generally irritating.
I really can't believe they are doing this the original was terrible. I hope they do give it the Rifftrax treatment. I have yet to see an entire Cinematic Titanic version of a movie. Do they do any newer movies or just older movies and release them like MST3K did? And i love both Mike and Joel all depends on what comedy mood I am in. The one guy that i really wish had stuck it out all the way through was good old TVs Frank he was awesome though i still like pearl bobo and brain guy
shareFrank is actually back as part of Cinematic Titanic, as is Mary Jo Pehl. Cinematic Titanic has so far only done older films like MST3000 used to do (the first two release were films from the 1970's and the upcoming third release is from 1959). It would be nearly impossible for them to do anything very recent, or more mainstream. The only reason Rifftrax can do big budget hit films is because they just sell an MP3 commentary that you play along with the normal DVD, and don't have to license the movies to put out a DVD.
shareMagical Trumpy,
Well said.
I'll give Joel credit for the idea, but there's a reason Mike was the head writer even during his time.
shareSorry, try again.
"Another major change was the show's writing format: instead of ad-lib riffs in the theater, each show was carefully scripted ahead of time, with Mike Nelson serving as head writer ("Head Writer" meaning he gathered and organized all the riffs from the various members, not, as mistakenly believed, that he wrote most of the riffs)."

You win this round, good sir.
sharecan you get a venereal disease from watching a movie?
shareI agree. I love Rifftrax! I've watched Bourne Identity and Revenge of the Sith and they're both hilarious. I'm downloading the Doomsday Machine from Cinematic Titanic so hopefully I'll see that tonight.
It's the 80's...
Either Mike or Kevin said on the Rifftrax Forums that they don't have any interest in doing this movie. It's a movie that's already hip to the fact that it's bad so it makes fun of itself. Similar to the stuff Troma does where they make crap on purpose hoping it will become a cult classic.
But that's just my opinion.
That's actually not a very good reason since that's exactly what the first one was. A really (REALLY) low budget comedy that was intentionally stupid and self-depricating. Did anyone see any of Rick Sloane's other flicks, like 'Vice Academy'? Do they REALLY think he was trying to break into the mainstream with this stuff? Jim Wynorski, David DeCoteau, Fred Olan Ray, and YES, RICK SLOANE made intentionally stupid softcore sex-comedy "horror" films in the 80's. All those guys already knew their films would be so bad as to be enjoyable.
It's amazing that people think Sloane was trying to make a "serious" comedy (which is an obvious oxymoron in and of itself, making those people who think that seem even more clueless). No offense to Mike and the bots, that was a hilarious episode, but they apparently have some misconceptions about the repeat offender b-movie filmmakers from the 80's. Granted, they were done in what the mainstream might consider "poor taste", but you'd be wrong to think that wasn't intentional.
That said...
"Ladies and gentlemen... FLATBUTT!"
"Be dead... Gopher, you BE DEAD!"
Ew, they suck. Besides, this movie's too hilarious to need Rifftrax or Cinematic Titanic. What are they gonna do, stand there and laugh at it the whole time? You can't riff on a good movie, and this is a good comedy.
