I hadn’t written about RiffTrax in a while as I had been busy. They recently celebrated their 1st year anniversary, and just released the movie 300, which was a pretty good riff featuring all three of the MST3K crew, Mike Nelson, Bill Corbet, and Kevin Murphy. I didn’t see 300 until just before watching it while riffed, I found it over the top in a weird way, and can see why certain people really like it. I doubt I will watch it again non-Riffed, though. I did enjoy the RiffTrax, it was well done, and the last of the “This is Sparta!” puns they did was by far my favorite line.
The three will all be back for the next movie, another action flick The Bourne Identity. I have yet to see this one also (but have seen the sequel) so it will probably be entertaining. They must have figured out that almost everyone buying them are young males and thus action films go hand in hand.
The first of the Film Crew DVDs is out, Hollywood After Dark, which is a good film if you want to see sleazy people be sleazy, and Rue Maclanhan strip tease. No one does, so the movie is awful, but the Film Crew movies are superior to the RiffTrax and the disc is a winner. I eagerly await the other three films released. The Film Crew movies were filmed years ago and are finally getting released, but the producer says if they do well than more will be made. So we all know what to do, buy 50 copies each!
