Hi, Jenadara. While you were at Dreadcentral, did you check out their Splattrax of House of the Dead? I thought it was pretty good. Not quite like a real Rifftrax, but still funny.

I actually googled MST3K because I was tired of watching the same ones I owned over and over again.  I thought I could watch some streaming oldies but goodies on the web.  I came across Dreadcentral.com's interview with Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett talking mostly about Film Crew.  I was like, "What!?? I need to look on the web more often!

Heh, I found out about Rifftrax because of a brewery (Stone Brewery was showing Rifftrax Jurassic Park, and announced it on their web site) . Not the worst way to find out, I guess. ;D

FLOCK of RABID SHEEP?!?!

anais got me hooked on rifftrax forums and i am still cursing her to this day  ;)

I don't remember exactly what site directed me to RiffTrax.com.  I was probably looking for good audio commentaries where I probably discovered Mike Nelson's stuff mentioned (Plan 9, Little Shop, etc.).  Trying to find more, I think I started looking for interviews to see what else he'd been up to which ultimately sent me to RiffTrax.com.  I remember the only titles available were "Roadhouse" and "Fifth Element."  "X-Men" and "Star Trek V" were released shortly after.

Would it have been this one, by chance?

Wow.  That's a very strong possibility.  I do recall reading that.  And it'd probably be around that time too.  I couldn't be 100% certain.  I mean, how many of your random internet perusals do you remember (esp ones from 3 years ago), right?  I consider myself lucky enough to remember the original homepage with only 2 RiffTrax.

I will consider that a "definitely maybe", and (tentatively) pat myself on the back for (possibly) directing one more person to the glory of RiffTrax.  I'm hoping I'll be awarded a commemorative pin or something at some point.

I heard about Rifftrax from Mighty Jack's MST3K review.  So yeah, I'm new to this whole "thread" thing.  Kind of awesome.  Also frightening.  I feel cold...

Anyways I'm new...any suggestions on how to get started...or what to do in this crazy place.

This is what happens when you take all your advice from The Dog Whisperer.

I just wondered a couple of years ago if any of the guys were up to anything interesting and put their names in google and it turned up rifftrax.com for me.  Happy happy!
