Watching Fun in Balloon Land. I agree with Kevin: "Is this film legal?!?"

Unfortunately the riff covers up one of the greatest lines. When the little boy shouts that he wants to shake hands with the octopus, the "sea king" literally just says "_kay."

It's loving magical.

I never noticed until re-watching Balloon Land that the lady dressed as Mother Goose at the start is the drunk parade announcer in the later section.

I see they are replaying Christmas Rifftrax Live on Thursday Dec 2nd. Any idea when tickets go on sale?

Buried in last page but if you didn't already get it (Dec 1st by the way)

At my theater they never sell out so I'm not really worried about preordering though

I'm just getting around to the MST3K/Rifftrax reunion show and it's a lot of fun. I didn't think I'd ever be able to watch the faces of death film that is Shake Hands with Danger, but here we are. The 70s film quality really gives it a Zapruder feel.

Wow they just added a whole butt load of different rifftrax movies to amazon prime.

drat there's Samurai Cop and the Guy from Harlem there amongst a real good selection of their catalog.

IUG: Jul 14, 2007

Joel posted a pretty big Kickstarter update on the MST3k email that I figured needed to be shared here:

quote:

Your "Black Friday" Bonus Reward!
On Monday, I also promised that � since we didn't have any new episodes ready to show you on Turkey Day � I'd send a special treat on Friday to make it up to you.
And you know, I know it's a treat some of you have been wanting for a long time � maybe even since we first ran this advertisement in The St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch on Turkey Day of 1988, when our very first episode, Invaders From the Deep, premiered on KTMA:

.
So yeah, some of you already guessed it, but let's make it official:
I'm happy to tell you that we finally found master tapes for two of the three "lost KTMA episodes" of MST3K: Invaders from the Deep, and Revenge of the Mysterons from Mars.
I actually thought we had discovered copies of these episodes at one point during the Kickstarter last year, and I was really excited that I'd be able to finally share them with you� and then it turned out that we hadn't found them, and it was a real bummer. But then, earlier this year, a few final boxes turned up. And there they were: the very first episodes of MST3K ever made.
So yeah: If your Kickstarter rewards include any of the "Classic MST3K Bonus Episodes", the two "lost episodes" are now waiting for you � a special "Happy Turkey Day" present from all of us at MST3K. (Just remember, though, these are really old episodes, so I hope you can look at them like a "first draft" of what the show would turn into.)

.
Just log into your VHX account, and you'll see them in your collection of Classic Episodes. You can stream and download them, whatever you want.
I don't want to give you more reading for today, so I'll just say that I really loved getting a chance to see these early episodes again. You can see Josh and Trace and me just wading into �movie riffing� and starting to play with all the elements and dynamics of the show and the set pieces. Obviously, it�s pretty slow. We didn�t pre-watch any of the films or even attempt to write any jokes; it�s just us, starting out, �blue skying� it.
(Naturally, if I could have known that, almost 30 years later, there would be a group of about 50,000 folks looking at these as a sort of �historical document,� I probably would have tried to find ways to put more time into them. But, as they say, it is what it is.)
Also, I have to tell you: This week was the first time that I�ve watched these in a long time. Seeing them now, I�m so proud we took the leap of faith and tried it. The cast and crew are suiting up in the gear and giving it a whack, and even this early on � as primitive as it is � you can sort of feel where this is all going.
Anyway, I took some notes when I watched them, and I'd like to share those with you. But I thought maybe I'd wait until next week, and give you this weekend to watch them first.
If you do watch, I hope you'll let me and your fellow Revival Leaguers know what you think in the comments. I'll be really interested to hear your take.

Sorry for the double post, but I thought I'd mention that there is a Black Friday deal going on until 7PM PST on Sunday. I hadn't noticed, because Rifftrax is honestly kind of bad at advertising their deals. I wish I knew about the coupon code earlier, as I already spent around 20 dollars on Rifftrax this weekend. I hope this helps someone.

You could send them an email saying you forgot to apply the coupon code.

So, in the past two days, I watched Roller Gator, Alien Outlaw and Zindy the Swamp Boy.

I think my brain has broken.

Either MegaForce takes place in an alternate reality where the Confederacy successfully split from the USA, or it takes place in one where Hazzard County is a sovereign nation.

Drastic Actions: Apr 7, 2009; FUCK YOU!
GET PUMPED!; Nap Ghost

So I started getting back into my backlog. I wanted to watch one on the train ride to work, so I downloaded the app and got really annoyed that it doesn't do VOD. I don't want to have to download every one I want to watch in advance, and their website sucks on mobile so streaming from it is a pain. So I took matters into my own hands and started to work on third-party app to stream it.

Runs on iOS and Android. Let's you view your library and play a movie. That's it. I still need to get iOS video playback working (a mix of them using webm and not using HTTPS by default makes iOS not like it very much.) but it's working pretty good on Android. I won't put this on the app stores, but once I make it looks nicer and actually work on iOS I'll open source it and put up packages for it if anyone else wants to try it out.

Great initiative but if that doesn't pan out there's an app called VRV coming later that will support RiffTrax. I beta tested it a little and it should certainly be easier to use than the rifftrax website.

Already out on PS4 but it looks like Amazon Prime video has about the same selection, so no need for me to spend extra

I won't be able to make it to the show going on right now. Family stuff. Do they reuse the slides? Do they offer any new codes?

# ? Dec 2, 2016 04:16

Fezz: Aug 31, 2001; You should feel ashamed.

People usually take pictures of the slides. And if there's new codes or slides someone will let us know.

# ? Dec 2, 2016 04:30

I was worried because of the lack of images but I forgot it was a double feature that'd run until say 10 or 11.
